"Ah ha ha ha ha."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
Senju Hashirama touched his head and apologized to Uchiha Nan.
"So, Sandaime, is there an unsolvable crisis in Konoha?"
Senju Hashirama's expression turned serious. The living Third Hokage wouldn't disturb the soul of a deceased person without reason. He feared that Konoha might be facing a significant disaster.
Senju Hashirama assessed his own condition and found it not too bad.
It felt like carrying a massive weight on his back. If he had to fight, he probably couldn't even use Wood Release, let alone a large-scale move like Thousands of Hands.
But if it's for Konoha, no matter how difficult, he must fight with all his strength.
"No, Konoha is relatively stable now."
"Currently, Konoha—"
Uchiha Nan began to explain the current state of Konoha. Senju Tobirama's death marked one of the most dangerous periods in Konoha's recent history, with a high risk of internal conflict. However, with Uchiha Nan's rise to power, such infighting should no longer occur.
"Did Tobirama also sacrifice for Konoha?"
Mentioning Senju Tobirama's sacrifice brought sadness to Senju Hashirama's face. His brother had died for Konoha, after all.
Senju Hashirama knew his brother's contributions to Konoha were no less significant than his own. Hashirama often left responsibilities to his brother, Senju Tobirama, to handle Konoha's affairs.
"Oh, it was all to protect Konoha. Tobirama's spirit in heaven won't regret his choice."
Senju Hashirama sighed. He had experienced countless battles during the Warring States Period and was accustomed to losing loved ones to war. This drove him to establish Konoha.
"Well?"
"Then why did you summon me?"
Senju Hashirama finally pondered this question. If Konoha wasn't in crisis, why disturb a dead man's soul?
"Lord Tobirama was attacked and killed during negotiations. The guards who were meant to protect him fled back to Konoha. One claimed to have been recognized by Tobirama as the future Third Hokage."
"However, Konoha's ninja clans did not acknowledge him. Ultimately, my character was recognized, and they elected me as Hokage."
"I am merely an ordinary ninja of the Uchiha clan. How could I become Hokage? Since everyone entrusted me with this position, I will devote myself entirely to Konoha!"
Uchiha Nan spoke with determination, recounting his path to becoming Hokage, though with some artistic embellishments.
After all, martial ethics are also virtues!
Uchiha Nan wore the Hokage's robe, his tone righteous and full of resolve, leaving Senju Hashirama without the slightest doubt.
Senju Hashirama, unlike Senju Tobirama, harbored no bias against the Uchiha. Instead, he had a favorable impression, likely influenced by Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara was from the Uchiha clan, and Hashirama loved his family as much as he cared for Uchiha. No matter how flawed the Uchiha seemed, they were merely blinded by the cycle of hatred between the clans.
"Lord Shodaime, I know your original intent in creating Konoha was to eliminate barriers between ninja clans, especially between Uchiha and Senju."
"The Will of Fire, where the leaves fly, the fire burns. This is the way of the ninja I understand."
"Today, as the younger Hokage, I dare to disturb your rest to inform you that Konoha's Will of Fire has a successor!"
"I hope you can recognize me!"
Uchiha Nan's inspiring words filled Senju Hashirama with excitement.
My efforts were not in vain.
Finally, an Uchiha transcended family barriers, earning recognition from everyone in Konoha for his character and becoming Hokage.
It's truly gratifying.
A satisfied smile appeared on Senju Hashirama's face. His original goal in founding Konoha was to eliminate barriers between ninja clans, fostering mutual understanding and tolerance, ultimately achieving peace in the ninja world. The seeds planted then were finally bearing fruit.
"Congratulations, Sandaime!"
"I approve of you!"
As Senju Hashirama spoke, the system beeped.
"Recognition from Senju Hashirama achieved."
Long-term mission, recognition from seniors: Obtain sincere recognition from past Hokages.
Completion progress (1/2)
The mission interface appeared before Uchiha Nan, showing the progress bar half completed.
Nice!
Uchiha Nan was secretly delighted; everything was going smoothly!
"I really hope Madara could see all this. If he could see you, he probably wouldn't have left Konoha."
Senju Hashirama's tone held a sense of loss. If Madara had foreseen this day, he might not have abandoned their shared dream.
"You and Uchiha Madara have a great relationship, Shodaime-sama!"
Uchiha Nan remarked a bit exasperatedly. Shouldn't Hashirama praise him more at this moment?
Why was the conversation back to Uchiha Madara so quickly?
"If there is an afterlife, and Madara and I aren't born into opposing ninja clans, we should become very good brothers."
Senju Hashirama's voice was tinged with regret. He was born into the Senju clan, and Uchiha Madara into the Uchiha clan. These two families were destined to feud.
The origin of the hatred was unknown. They fought and killed for generations. Since Hashirama's birth, his father warned him.
The other side's ninja world was their enemy. The enemy's surname was Uchiha. If they saw anyone with the Uchiha surname, they were to kill indiscriminately.
This almost became an ancestral teaching for the Senju clan.
Of course, the same was true for the Uchiha!
When Uchiha Madara and Hashirama met for the first time, both concealed their surnames, fearing the other might be Uchiha or Senju and suddenly attack.
The animosity between Uchiha and Senju was intense at that time.
"I really hope to see Madara again. I want to tell him I'm truly sorry. After all, I wronged him."
"My brother Tobirama killed his brother Izuna, and in the end, I killed Madara myself."
Hashirama's tone was full of apology, and Uchiha Nan nodded subconsciously.
What Hashirama said was indeed correct!
The two Uchiha brothers were killed by the Senju brothers.
"Madara must still hold a grudge against me. I've been dead for so long, and he hasn't come to see me."
"He really holds onto grievances."
"Back then, we ran together happily in the sunset."
"."
"It was Madara who started it first."
When Hashirama mentioned Uchiha Madara, he became a chatterbox, unable to stop.
