Itachi needn’t feel guilty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I chose Itachi because I believe Itachi can achieve our ideal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Hashirama Senju no longer refused; he accepted his friend’s trust with gratitude and, amid the crowd’s cheers, declared himself the First Hokage of Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the period when representatives and villagers came forward to offer congratulations, Uchiha Shisui slowly walked over to Tobirama Senju’s side and stood beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now I understand why my elder brother could become friends with him,” Uchiha Shisui sincerely said. “He… the Hokage truly possesses a unique charisma. I hope Konoha will grow even better under his leadership.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tobirama Senju nodded. “Our elder will not disappoint anyone.

What power could he possibly have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But forget not: Hashirama Senju’s nature meant he would inevitably dump every task, big or small, onto his brother Tobirama’s shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Tobirama Senju would become the true wielder of the Hokage’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone believed Tobirama Senju had sacrificed his rightful authority for the village’s peace and stability—but in truth, his power remained unchanged, merely hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madara Uchiha might sense something amiss, but he wouldn’t dwell on it, because the supreme authority of the Anbu already rested in his brother Shisui’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he knew Hashirama Senju well—he understood the man was incapable of handling tedious bureaucratic affairs and would inevitably delegate them to his brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resolving the Anbu matter, the second major event was the establishment of the Security Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, due to the Anbu’s structure, Tobirama Senju granted half the Security Force’s authority to the Hyuga clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the third-largest clan after the Senju and Uchiha, the Hyuga had both weight and justification to claim a share of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A counterbalancing force now existed within the Security Force, capable of checking the Uchiha clan’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the Uchiha clan still gained more than they lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju successfully won the Hyuga clan’s loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this arrangement, the Uchiha clan gained substantial benefits—but as clan head, Madara Uchiha received only the title of Senior Advisor, with no real authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying part? No one thought it was odd!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even within the Uchiha clan, there was no dissent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond these two major events, the third was the one with the longest-lasting significance for Konoha’s development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The founding of the Konoha Ninja Academy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Providing a healthy environment for children scarred by war, letting them train and gain the skills to protect themselves—this was the shared wish of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tobirama Senju, skilled in teaching young ninja, was unanimously elected as the academy’s first headmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang, as the First Hokage’s and Tobirama Senju’s direct disciple, became the academy’s first teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1045,"2026-06-20T16:23:12.107Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","91edf4a915b17128b20f5ac6f5e14f1f39182bcf753044c413e47345264f4e7a","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-from-narut-chapter-20","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-from-narut-chapter-18",498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-from-narut-cover.jpg"]
