On the other side, Konoha Village.
"That... what is that?"
Konoha Village gate guard Kotetsu looked shocked at the smoke and dust that stirred in the distance.
His partner Izumo stood up, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.
"Very fast, it will be approaching the village soon."
"Is it the enemy, or is it…him?"
Izumo asked in doubt.
Hearing this, Kotetsu immediately realized who he was talking about.
First Hokage Senju Hashirama!
Thinking of the super-powerful Hokage that was resurrected and shot by Rifan to somewhere in the country of fire.
Kotetsu couldn't help swallowing.
"Anyway, we need to inform Third Hokage-sama."
"Izumo, you stay here, I'll go to Third Hokage-sama right away.
Hearing the words of his partner, Izumo Shenyue nodded.
"no need."
But suddenly, a voice rang in the ears of the two of them.
They looked up, and it turned out that Third Hokage was already standing beside them.
And beside the Third Hokage, Danzo, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, who rarely appear in the outside world, are standing there.
"Third Hokage-sama!"
Izumo and Kotetsu solemnly greeted Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Hiruzen nodded and looked into the distance with a profound gaze.
Not just him, Danzo and Tsunade as well.
After a while, there was a cheerful laugh.
A figure familiar to Tsunade and others appeared at the gate of Konoha Village.
"Hahaha, I'm finally back!"
"That Rifan is really weird, can't he just shoot me and fly into the village?"
"It made me run for such a long time without eating or drinking."
Hashirama, wearing red Sengoku armor, appeared at the gate of Konoha Village and said with a big smile with his hands on his hips.
"Yo, little Tsunade, I haven't seen you in ages."
"You've turned out to be a great beauty."
"By the way, are you married? You are so old, you should have children, right?"
Hashirama walked up to Tsunade and started to talk about Tsunade's nonexistent marriage.
Although Tsunade looks young now, by looking at the faces of Hiruzen and Danzo on the side.
Hashirama knew Tsunade's actual age was not as young as she seemed.
Aside, Jiraiya was obviously moved when he heard Hashirama's words...
It was difficult to control a sudden urge on him when he heard the First Hokage talking about Tsunade marriage.
"Really, Grandpa, did you say that as soon as you got back?"
Tsunade patted her forehead, feeling helpless.
"Shodai!"
"Shodai!"
"Shodai!"
At this time, Hiruzen, Danzo and Jiraiya also stepped forward to greet Hashirama.
"Yo, Saru, Danzo, you're all getting old too."
"And you, you are Jiraiya."
"I've seen your performance in the golden list challenge arena, it's really quite good."
"You young man has a future, and I am very optimistic about you. Hahaha~"
Hashirama patted Jiraiya on the shoulder and laughed.
This time, he plans to make Hiruzen abdicate.
After all, just from the information he got through the Golden List.
Hiruzen has made many wrong decisions over the years.
And after Hiruzen abdicates, it is natural to choose a new Hokage.
Tsunade is a candidate, Might Guy is a candidate.
And Jiraiya, is also a candidate in Hashirama's heart.
