Chapter 39

In Hashirama Senju's eyes,

the three great sanctuaries were all an unstable element in the ninja world,

if he wanted to achieve true world peace,

Hashirama Senju naturally could not allow such an unstable element to wander about beyond his control!!!!

He wanted to take every uncontrollable element of the ninja world into his own hands!!!

If he could not control it, then he would simply destroy it!!!

The three great sanctuaries still had some use value in his eyes at present!!!

Although he himself could absorb natural energy and enter Sage Mode,

Hashirama Senju did not know how to teach others to enter Sage Mode!!

Mount Myoboku had a training method for Sage Mode,

so the other two great sanctuaries surely had training methods for Sage Mode as well,

therefore he had to steal all three great sanctuaries' Sage Mode methods!!

This was Hashirama Senju's current thought,

he wanted to take the Sage Mode training methods,

and spread them little by little throughout the entire world.

He did not know why,

but he always felt that there was something off about this chakra cultivation method.

Compared to natural energy, chakra seemed more like an invader of this world.

As Hashirama Senju's strength grew stronger and stronger,

this sense of incongruity only intensified!!!

Although he could not figure out exactly what the reason was at present,

Hashirama Senju trusted his own intuition,

so he had to make his own plans early,

in case something went wrong with chakra,

he could directly switch to Sage Mode and cultivate using natural energy!!!

【Fourth Raikage: This First Hokage is truly too terrifying. I thought his schemes only aimed to end the Warring States period, but I didn't expect even the three great sanctuaries to be within his schemes!!!】

【Madara Uchiha: I have to admit!!! The Hashirama of this world, his magnanimity far surpasses mine. I am not his equal!!!】

【Tobirama Senju: ……Why didn't I think of that?! The three great sanctuaries are also one of the extremely unstable elements of this world. How could I have forgotten about those guys!!!】

【Shimura Danzo: Perhaps……this is the true Will of Fire!!! Powerful!!! Fierce!! Unafraid!!】

【Hiruzen Sarutobi: Speaking of it……the three great sanctuaries……these years they seem to have been plotting something in the shadows, trying every means to get close to our Konoha……】

【Orochimaru: Hehe……The leaders of the three great sanctuaries are all old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years. Their concern for the human world is probably not out of any goodwill. As for their specific purpose, only they themselves know.】

【Jiraiya: I think……the Great Toad Sage shouldn't be like that. I feel that every move he makes is for our own good. He wants to make this world a better place……】

【Orochimaru: Jiraiya……are you still going to say such naive and laughable words? Have you never reflected on the fact that, ever since you came into contact with Mount Myoboku, haven't all your actions been following their intentions?】

【Minato Namikaze: Jiraiya-sensei……although I also went to Mount Myoboku with you to train, I also feel that Mount Myoboku probably harbors some unknown secrets behind the scenes. They are not as warm-hearted as we thought……】

Jiraiya looked at the discussion in the livestream and began to reflect as well.

These years, he had indeed relied too much on Mount Myoboku.

To the point of abandoning himself.

Unconsciously.

He had even placed Mount Myoboku above Konoha!!!

For Mount Myoboku's prophecy,

he had also missed countless opportunities,

just to search for the so-called Child of Prophecy!!.

35. The Uzumaki Clan Comes to Propose!!!

Although the answer the system gave this time,

was something no one had expected.

But they could accept this result!!

Because although they had not answered correctly,

the others had not answered correctly either!!!

……

Time passed day by day like this,

Hashirama Senju's days also felt very fulfilling,

he could clearly feel,

that he was growing stronger every moment.

And this feeling of growing stronger,

made Hashirama Senju utterly intoxicated!!!!

【Fourth Raikage: It's truly terrifying. Not only does the First Hokage over there have such strong talent, but the key is he's also so hardworking!!! I don't think I've ever seen him stop to rest!!】

【Madara Uchiha: Fortunately, the Hashirama over here isn't working this hard. If he were also working this hard, I'm afraid I would never catch up to Hashirama in my lifetime!!】

【Tobirama Senju: Sigh……if big brother over here had half the decisiveness of big brother in the other world, the Warring States period would have been ended long ago……and it wouldn't have taken so long to found Konoha!!】

【Rock Lee: This is what the true Will of Fire should be!!! A ninja as talented as First Hokage-sama is so diligent!! I thought I was already working hard enough, but now it seems I'm still far behind!!】

【Might Guy: Lee!!! The fact that you can realize this makes your teacher so happy. This is what youth should look like!! Let's fight together for the future!!!】

【Hashirama Senju: Are all the young people in Konoha this full of energy these days? It's truly inspiring!!!】

【Sakura Haruno: Um... First my lord, please don't misunderstand. It's just those two who are like that. The rest of us aren't like this...】

In the cultivation that repeated day after day,

Hashirama grew stronger and stronger.

At the same time,

the Senju clan and Mount Myōboku also became allies.

With the help of Mount Myōboku,

no small number of Senju clan members had already learned senjutsu.

"Hashirama... from today onward, you have come of age."

"There are certain duties it is time for you to fulfill."

"The moment you were born, I already arranged a wife for you."

"To resist our common enemy, the evil Uchiha clan, our Senju clan formed an alliance with the Uzumaki clan."

"The Uzumaki clan head, Ashina Uzumaki, has decided to betroth his daughter to you, to strengthen the ties between our two clans..."

"They sent word by letter not long ago that they are about to visit our Senju clan in person. They should be arriving in the next few days."

"Prepare yourself properly..."

Seeing his son's increasingly dignified face,

Butsuma Senju's heart was in turmoil,

and he had no idea how Hashirama himself viewed this marriage.

If Ashina Uzumaki had not taken the initiative to write to him,

Butsuma Senju himself would have forgotten the matter entirely.

Because in the few years Hashirama had served as clan head,

the Senju clan's strength had grown greater and greater,

especially after obtaining Mount Myōboku's senjutsu,

the Senju clan was like a tiger with wings added,

and the Uchiha clan's techniques no longer posed much of a threat to them.

So their contact with the Uzumaki clan grew less and less,

and they no longer needed the Uzumaki clan's help!!!

But after all, this was something that concerned Hashirama directly,

so Butsuma Senju still told him about it,
