Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

Having discussed this to this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi now clearly understood why Hinata wanted the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags.

Because Tobirama Senju is truly a role model for the vast majority of people.

Even if they don't have the strength of Hashirama Senju, so what?

So what if you don't have outstanding talent?

Life's path is always full of thorns, so should we stop moving forward?

If there's no road, then cut one down.

In order to counter the Sharingan's superhuman dynamic vision, Tobirama Senju independently developed the Flying Thunder God Technique, earning him the reputation of being the fastest ninja in the world.

After that, the techniques of multiplying explosive tags and the Impure World Reincarnation technique emerged one after another.

In order to counter the Uchiha clan's renowned Fire Release techniques, he continuously refined his Water Release techniques, while simplifying the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, which had forty-four seals, into four seals.

Even decades after Tobirama Senju's death, the people of Kirigakure are still using the Water Dragon Bullet with forty-four seals.

To counter the Uchiha's dazzling swordsmanship, the Thunder God Sword was created.

Moreover, Konoha's current administrative system still uses the same structure as during Tobirama Senju's era.

Unfortunately, even though Tobirama Senju achieved this level, in a sense, he was still no match for his brother Hashirama Senju.

The reason is simple, it only takes two words.

Invincible.

Truly invincible.

Only those who have personally witnessed and experienced Hashirama Senju's strength can understand just how powerful he truly was.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had witnessed it firsthand.

Even from thousands of meters away, the colossal Buddha that seemed to reach the sky and stand upright was incredibly oppressive, as if Hashirama Senju could kill everyone with a single palm strike if he so desired.

The so-called Flying Thunder God Technique, Impure World Reincarnation, Mutual Explosion Tags...

There is absolutely nothing that can be done in the face of a force that is even more terrifying than a natural disaster.

However, this power only appeared in Hashirama Senju.

For the rest of us, even touching it is a luxury.

But this is obviously too cruel for a six-year-old child who admires Tobirama Senju.

After all, 99% of the people in the ninja world could never reach the level of Hashirama Senju, even if they spent their entire lives doing so.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to avoid the topic altogether, and instead spoke with a joking tone:

"So, does Hinata like someone like the Second Hokage?"

"Will Hinata's future husband be someone like the Second Hokage?"

Hinata paused, her brows furrowing as she looked intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Who likes him?"

"It's just that, in my opinion, the second generation is more inspiring than the first generation."

"The second-generation lord never had a wife in his entire life, I think there must be something wrong with his health."

"Even a brainless idiot like the First Hokage got married. If the Second Hokage had married an Uchiha, maybe that Uchiha Madara wouldn't have defected from Konoha."

???

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked on in astonishment.

You little brat, do you even know what you're saying?!

You're slandering the Second Generation Lord's health; believe it or not, he'll be resurrected and crawl out of his grave to stuff a multiplicative explosive tag into your bed!

And... marrying an Uchiha wife?

Emmm...

It seems like I could give it a try to become the next Hokage.

"And as for husbands, I don't want any of that. If anyone's going to get married, it should be me marrying someone else!"

Hinata pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction.

Damn it, this old man is out of his mind!

husband? !

Even dogs wouldn't want that!

"Yes, yes, Hinata should marry a man too."

Hiruzen Sarutobi then remembered that the woman in front of him was the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family. If it were to be married, she wouldn't be marrying someone else; instead, she would directly marry a man into the Hyuga main family.

"No, I don't want to get married."

"The boys in the village all seem like idiots."

Hinata looked disgusted.

"Oh?"

"So, what kind of Hinata do you like?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of Hinata's performance at the Ninja Academy and his knowledge of the First and Second Hokage, and felt a little curious.

Someone like Hinata wouldn't be interested in just anyone.

"Like Ino Sakura!"

Hinata blurted out without hesitation, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi dumbfounded.

No?

You don't like the boys in school, so you've set your sights on the girls, right?

"Um, Hinata, do you prefer someone like Ino or someone like Sakura?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked tentatively, somewhat cautiously.

If it's only Ino or Sakura's personality that can win Hinata's favor, then if a boy had the same personality, he should also be able to win Hinata's affection.

But if it's the other way around...

"Can't I like them all?"

"Doesn't Grandpa Naruto think Ino and Sakura are cute?"

Hinata asked in a crisp voice.

Hiruzen Sarutobi: ...

He couldn't respond to that.

He can't very well say that the village children aren't lovable, can he?

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt somewhat melancholy.

Itachi Uchiha of the Uchiha clan spent all his time with Shisui Uchiha. Izumi Uchiha, who had feelings for Itachi, spent less time with Shisui than with Itachi.

Hinata Hyuga from the Hyuga clan was even more ruthless, resorting to physical violence against the boys without any mercy.

He was kind and gentle to the girls, showing them concern and care, and even bluntly said that the boys in the village were like idiots.

Is this a common ailment among geniuses?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very melancholy.

He suddenly felt that the future of the village seemed a bit bleak.

"Alright, alright, Grandpa Hokage, is there anything else?"

"I'm going home."

Hinata stood up, thinking it was time to go back.

"There's one more thing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Hinata with a touch of melancholy, and then asked another question.

"Back then, Hinata, did you beat up Naruto and Togashi all of them so that Togashi and the others would stop bullying Naruto?"

Hinata was taken aback by what she heard.

自己把那三个傻蛋和鸣人一起揍了，是单纯的将来不想和鸣人结婚而已。

Those three idiots were just incidental.

"Yes, that's what I think."

"After all, Naruto is always bullied by the people in the village."

"How could you do this?"

Hinata began speaking earnestly.

Ah, I see. Hinata really is a good girl...

Hiruzen Sarutobi's earlier worries about the village's bleak future vanished instantly.

"Do they even have the right to bully Naruto?"

"You don't even know how to bully people; I have to demonstrate it myself."

Hinata's words froze Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression, which had just eased.

When you said "How could they do this?", you actually meant that the way the villagers bullied Naruto was wrong?!

It seems my old Konoha is doomed!

"And that idiot Naruto!"

"They're bullying you and you're not even fighting back?"

"If it were me, I'd beat them to a pulp!"

"Oh, right!"

At this point, Hinata looked up at Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, her face full of disdain, and said:

"Grandpa Hokage, you'd better clean up the atmosphere in the village."

"These days there are still idiots who don't recognize a white eye and dare to bully me."

"I don't care if they bully me, I'll just beat them up anyway."

"But what if you bully someone else? What will they do then?"

"Sakura was bullied because of her forehead. Neji told me that there was another student in their class named Rock Lee who was bullied because he couldn't use ninjutsu."

"I think the Hokage should do something."
