Chapter 206

"Of course, if they have the ability, they can apply for early graduation, and this rule can be abolished. They can apply to form teams and go out to carry out missions!!"

"And the medical side as well — we must increase the funding invested in it!"

"For ninja who have made significant contributions to the Land of Fire, we must come up with proper follow-up measures! …"

In a short period of time,

through discussion with Tobirama Senju,

Hashirama Senju quickly formulated many policies that differed from those of the past!!

Seeing him say this,

the heads of several clans finally showed looks of surprise on their faces.

They had originally assumed that by abolishing the daimyo,

Hashirama Senju merely wanted to take his place,

and seize the authority in the daimyo's hands,

but now it seemed,

that was not the case at all!

Every single action of Hashirama Senju was being considered for the sake of everyone in the Land of Fire!!

At the very least,

all of his policies were extremely beneficial to the common people!

In this era,

to receive a good education

was as hard as scaling the heavens!

Whether it was knowledge or any kind of skill,

all of it was tightly controlled in the hands of those clans!

For ordinary people to rise above their station was, in essence, extremely difficult to achieve!

To want to learn all kinds of knowledge

was even more a matter of pure fantasy!!

【Tobirama Senju: Hmm… a lot of what this big brother and I think really do align. Strength alone is not enough — the follow-up work is also very important. The Land of Fire after the war needs more different policies in order to be reborn!】

【Jiraiya: Strengthening education, placing importance on medical care… I never expected the First to actually be able to think through so many things.】

【Orochimaru: Speaking of which, in a certain sense, I too could be considered of commoner origin. Without an educational system like the ninja academy, I reckon I would have found it very hard to reach where I am today!】

【Tsunade: Medical ninja are the most scarce resource of all. Medical ninjutsu is inherently difficult, and it takes a long time to train in. Even after successfully cultivating it, one isn't necessarily all that powerful in combat. Most ninja are unwilling to train in medical ninjutsu…】

【Minato Namikaze: The fact that I have been able to get to where I am today, able to rise up and become Hokage, is largely because of the establishment of the ninja academy system. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to obtain this kind of ninja-related knowledge…】

【Fourth Raikage: Only a First like him could achieve this. His policies are simply cutting flesh from these clans' bodies, breaking their monopoly! Switched to any other village, and it would simply be impossible for anyone to do this!】

【Ōnoki: The First Hokage's policies are indeed very great! But generally speaking, no one would dare to implement them like this. Only with strength as overwhelming as his would he dare to disregard the displeasure of these clans!】

……

Looking at the dissatisfied expressions on the faces of those clan heads,

Madara Uchiha folded his arms across his chest and regarded them calmly.

In any case, as long as he and Hashirama were there,

they could not possibly stir up any trouble.

If any single clan dared to make any unusual move,

what awaited them would surely be a merciless strike from him and Hashirama Senju together!!

In Madara Uchiha's eyes,

there was nothing complicated about the matter at all.

These people's strength was not as great as his and Hashirama Senju's!!

That made them the weak ones,

and the weak naturally had no place to resist —

they should obediently wait and listen to their arrangements!

"Big brother… I'm afraid you'll need to make a personal trip to the Fire Temple."

"Recently the seal on the Fire Temple's altar seems to have loosened somewhat, and the Nine-Tails' power has begun to leak out."

"I'm worried the Nine-Tails is going to break out of the seal."

Tobirama Senju walked in through the door and hurriedly said to Hashirama Senju.

Ever since Hashirama Senju had destroyed the Fire Temple,

the Fire Temple's altar had been left unguarded.

Tobirama Senju had even personally gone to investigate the Fire Temple's sealed altar,

and after sensing the Nine-Tailed Fox's vast, ominous aura,

he immediately reached a conclusion:

his own strength was probably no match for the Nine-Tails!!

Throughout the entire Land of Fire,

probably only Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha could suppress the Nine-Tails!!

Originally Tobirama Senju had wanted to send Madara Uchiha to deal with the Nine-Tails,

but on second thought,

such a powerful force as the Nine-Tails,

if it were to fall into Madara Uchiha's hands,

That would not be a good thing at all!!

Therefore,

he had Hashirama Senju personally go deal with the Nine-Tails!!

Tobirama Senju believed,

no matter how powerful the Nine-Tails' strength was,

it could not possibly be a match for Hashirama Senju!!

He raised an eyebrow,

and only then did Hashirama Senju recall,

that he had actually forgotten all about the matter of the Nine-Tails!

Back then at the Fire Temple,

he had already sensed the aura of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Hmm… this is indeed rather troublesome…"

"The Nine-Tails is nothing to me, but if he were to slip out by accident."

"There really aren't many people in the Land of Fire who could do anything about him…"

He stroked his own chin,

Hashirama Senju said thoughtfully.

And hearing his casual tone,

the corners of the clan heads' eyes couldn't help but twitch even more.

In Hashirama Senju's mouth,

the Nine-Tails was just like a stray kitten by the road,

something he could take care of with ease and casualness.

In the records of their clans,

they all knew just how powerful the Nine-Tails' strength was!

But,

they had felt Hashirama Senju's strength even more clearly!

So, no one doubted whether Hashirama Senju could deal with the Nine-Tails,

no matter how strong the Nine-Tails was,
