Chapter 402

Hashirama Senju suddenly seemed to remember something at this moment,

and was seen turning his head to say to Tobirama Senju.

"Oh right, Tobirama, how's the matter I told you to handle going?"

"The Land of Wind... the Land of Lightning — do they have anything they need our help with?"

"If there's anywhere you need my help, I'll set off immediately…"

Upon hearing these words,

Tobirama Senju couldn't help but roll his eyes directly!!

He himself hadn't expected,

that his own big brother would be so naive!!

Although they had signed treaties with the other countries,

formally establishing an allied relationship!!

In essence, they were still potential enemies!!

His own big brother, Hashirama Senju,

as the Hokage,

actually wanted to personally go help an enemy country?!

This simply made Tobirama Senju wonder how on earth his big brother's brain was wired!!

If it were anyone else saying such things,

Tobirama Senju would surely suspect they were just being polite!!

But when his own big brother, Hashirama Senju, said such things,

Tobirama Senju knew,

that Hashirama Senju truly wanted to help them!!

"What difficulties could their country possibly still have… you've already given them the Tailed Beasts…"

"Even if they had any difficulties, they'd probably be able to solve them all on their own…"

Tobirama Senju helplessly rolled his eyes once more!!

After Hashirama Senju heard him say this,

he finally relaxed and let out a sigh of relief!!

After the other four countries signed treaties with him,

Hashirama Senju had truly already regarded them as his own friends!!

Therefore,

if the four countries raised any need for help,

Hashirama Senju would certainly appear by their side without the slightest hesitation!!

And upon recalling that his big brother's recent actions had become increasingly outrageous,

a deep sense of crisis also arose in Tobirama Senju's heart!!

The current peace was built solely upon Hashirama Senju's strength,

if one day Hashirama Senju were no longer in Konoha,

then this peace would vanish immediately!!

Therefore,

Tobirama Senju had already made up his mind,

once he gained power,

he would definitely change all of this!!

He could not give Konoha's things away to other countries for free!!

"Alright… Tobirama… since the important matters are all settled…"

"Then… everything from here on out is up to you… hehe…"

Staring at Tobirama Senju,

a mysterious smile appeared on Hashirama Senju's face!!

And upon seeing that smile on his big brother's face,

a bad premonition arose in Tobirama Senju's heart!!

"Wait… you're the Hokage… you can't…!!!"

Before Tobirama Senju could finish speaking,

Hashirama Senju transformed into a puff of white smoke and vanished before his eyes!!

"Hashirama Senju!!!!"

After Tobirama Senju helplessly let out an angry shout,

he could only accept the fact before him!!

Hashirama Senju had once again run off somewhere to play,

so he had handed everything the Hokage was supposed to do over to him!!

……

The people in the livestream seeing Hashirama Senju's behavior,

once again felt utterly speechless!!

Setting aside Hashirama Senju's overwhelming strength,

he gave everyone the feeling of more like a child who never grew up!!

An idealist through and through...

If any other ninja had done the same as him,

it would hardly be surprising if they died eight hundred times over in this shinobi world!!

But偏偏 it was precisely this one idealist,

who possessed strength and talent that surpassed everyone else!!

And those who felt the most disillusioned were still the ninja of Konoha!!

In the historical records,

Hashirama Senju was a ninja with extraordinary strategic vision,

immense strength, and steady maturity!!

But now Hashirama Senju's image gave them a feeling of shattered idol!!

Many Konoha ninja had grown up listening to Hashirama Senju's stories from childhood,

and now Hashirama Senju's image was truly so unreliable!!

The gap between this and the way he was recorded in the ninja scrolls was simply too great!!

What's more,

with the image of Hashirama Senju on the black screen as a setup,

it made them feel all the more that the gap between the two was too vast!!!

And what followed was just as they had imagined,

before long,

Hashirama Senju passed away,

and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, took office!!

The situation in the shinobi world immediately began to grow turbulent!!

Although Tobirama Senju's strength was likewise immense,

compared with Hashirama Senju it still fell far too short,

Tobirama Senju did not possess the overwhelming power to single-handedly sweep clean an entire shinobi village!!

The passing of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, let the four great nations see their chance,

the great boulder that had always pressed on their hearts had finally vanished!!

Thus,

the very moment Hashirama Senju passed away,

the four villages immediately formed an alliance and prepared to attack Konoha!!

The First Shinobi World War broke out!!
