I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

Although the Fourth Hokage is currently locked in a standoff with Madara Uchiha and cannot break free.

However, Konoha now has new options.

That was Tobirama Senju in his Edo Tensei form, possessing nearly unlimited chakra, more than enough to support the Flying Thunder God Technique multiple times.

"I'll leave the task of preparing the supplies to you, Ritsuko. I'll go and explain this to the Second Generation Lord."

Without wasting any more time, Nara Shikaku hurriedly ran outside after giving these instructions.

So much so that by the time Ritsuko Yamanaka was about to speak, she found that he had already disappeared.

"This guy's way of shirking work is really on par with the Hokage's." Ritsuko Yamanaka shook her head helplessly and then got used to doing the heavy work.

......

When Nara Shikaku ran all the way, he quickly found Senju Hashirama and his group who were playing in Konoha Village.

The latter was in a color TV store, watching the program on the TV with great interest.

The moment he pushed open the door, the first thing he heard was Hashirama Senju's constant exclamations of surprise.

Wow? The people here can actually move!

"Maki, what kind of ninjutsu was used?"

"Not ninjutsu, but technology? What is this? It sounds incredibly advanced! Modern people are truly amazing!"

"Haha! The little characters talking on the screen are so funny!"

"..."

Clearly, Hashirama Senju had disregarded his Hokage image and was completely absorbed in the television program, which was completely new to him.

Nestled in his arms, Maki used the little knowledge she had to explain to her great-grandfather how a television worked.

Of course, she also proudly stated many times that these technological achievements were all made possible by her beloved father.

Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju, unlike his older brother who chattered away like a country bumpkin, maintained the demeanor of a Hokage.

But he listened intently to Maki's half-baked explanation.

As a top scientist in the ninja world, even though his research field was different, he still showed great interest in novel things like television sets.

If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, Tobirama Senju would have even wanted to personally dismantle the television set in front of him to investigate how it worked.

Although both are Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has survived to this day with his tenacious life, is not as naive as his two predecessors.

Although he stayed at home, his family brought back all sorts of novel and interesting things from the village.

He was already used to television.

Therefore, at this moment, he focused his attention on the magazines attached to the television, whose covers were full of hot girls.

His biggest regret over the years is that he has never been able to fulfill his greatest passion.

There's nothing he can do; he has a shrewish wife, and his two sons don't know what fun he'll have.

The ban on Jiraiya, the only disciple with similar interests, from entering the sect has not yet been lifted.

So much so that he often sighs over the years.

Now that we have a rare opportunity to get out, we should make the most of it.

Glancing at the Senju family, who were completely engrossed in the television, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly pulled out a magazine and secretly began to read it.

However, the good times did not last long.

A door was pushed open.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed, and with lightning speed, he put the magazine back in his hand, then coughed lightly and turned around with an extremely serious expression.

Then Nara Shikaku, who had just parted ways not long ago, arrived again and said to them:

"The First Generation Master, the Second Generation Master, the Third Generation Master, and Miss Maki."

"The situation is sudden. Konoha is currently facing an unexpected situation and urgently needs help. I apologize for having to interrupt everyone."

Chapter 305 The Most Important Legacy of the Hashirama Lineage

"Transporting supplies? No problem."

A few minutes later, after listening to Nara Shikaku's account, Senju Tobirama nodded quickly without hesitation.

He deliberately released the control of the Impure World Reincarnation technique not only because he wanted to see more of Konoha Village, but also because he originally intended to contribute to Konoha during the war.

"Do you need my help?" Hashirama Senju asked earnestly from the side.

Nara Shikaku shook his head and said, "First Hokage, the Second Hokage shouldn't have interfered in human affairs. It's already shameful for us modern people to have asked the Second Hokage for help this time. First Hokage, please rest assured that the war situation is now very favorable for Konoha. We, the younger generation, can take care of things from here on out. You've come all this way, so please continue to enjoy your time in Konoha with Lady Maki."

Nara Shikaku declined Senju Hashirama's offer, not only for the reasons mentioned above, but also because releasing the First Hokage, a being comparable to a nuclear weapon, would contradict Konoha's original plan to annihilate the Iwa ninja army.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was deeply impressed by Hashirama Senju.

If the First Hokage had actually appeared, without another Madara Uchiha to stall for time, he probably wouldn't have chosen to fight head-on, but would have given up and let all the Iwa ninja scatter and escape.

If a group of Iwa ninja of that size were to disperse and focus on escaping, even if Konoha pursued them relentlessly, they would not be able to catch them all.

Even if the Iwa ninja who successfully escaped are no longer officially part of the organization, if they were to hide in various corners of the Land of Earth, they would cause great trouble for Konoha's future rule over the Land of Earth.

Therefore, this battle must wipe out all the remaining Iwa ninja forces in the Land of Grass; before that, we must not extinguish the last glimmer of hope for the Iwa ninja.

Furthermore, Nara Shikaku was well aware that Uchiha Madara was currently in the Land of Grass.

He had also heard about the love-hate relationship between this person and the first generation master.

Although Yun Ting's strength was no less than that of Hashirama Senju, in Madara Uchiha's eyes, his lifelong friend had always been number one.

Nara Shikaku could imagine the scene: once the First Hokage arrived at the front lines, Madara Uchiha's eyes would light up upon seeing the enemy, and he would instantly become incredibly fanatical, shouting "Hashirama!" while disregarding his agreement with the Fourth Hokage and rushing towards the First Hokage to engage him in full-force combat. The aftershocks of the battle would then affect numerous Konoha ninjas and even the entire battlefield.

With the situation largely settled, to avoid any unnecessary surprises, Nara Shikaku decided to temporarily refrain from having Senju Hashirama intervene.

"Because of the battles on all sides, Konoha is currently quite weak, and it's hard to guarantee that dangerous individuals like Orochimaru won't continue to attack. If the First Hokage can stay in the village, we can feel more at ease," Nara Shikaku explained at the end.

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju nodded knowingly: "Understood. Shikaku, you can go about your business without worry. I'll be there whenever you need me."

Hashirama Senju took it all in stride.

He and Tobirama shouldn't be here.

Even if he wanted to contribute to Konoha, he wouldn't put on airs as the Hokage and issue orders to the current Konoha ninjas.

After all, this is no longer my era.

Just be a tool and be content; that way, everyone's happy.

Like now, since I have nothing to do, I can relax and continue playing with my beloved great-granddaughter.

So, when Nara Shikaku left with Senju Tobirama, as the only outsider, it was inconvenient to disturb them any longer. At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who wanted to buy some spiritual nourishment, also left. Originally, only Senju Hashirama and Senju Maki, a grandmother and granddaughter separated by two generations, remained in the group.

Seeing that Hashirama Senju was still watching the television with great interest, Maki turned her head left and right. Finding no one watching, she beamed with joy and quickly whispered in Hashirama's ear:

"Grandpa, there's an even more interesting place in the village. Let's go there now."

"An even more interesting place?" Hashirama Senju's eyes lit up. "Then I'll listen to Maki."

Ten minutes later.

Led by Maki, Hashirama Senju, having followed the path to their final destination, stared blankly at the large house with a huge "gambling" sign on its front door for a long while before finally speaking:

"So, Maki, this is what you meant by 'interesting'?"

"Yes! Grandpa, don't you think this is a very interesting place?"

Maki looked at Hashirama Senju with a puzzled expression.

She had heard her mother mention before that her gambling skills were personally taught to her by her great-grandfather.

Although Maki scoffed at her mother's so-called gambling skills, which she always lost.

But she remembered that her great-grandfather also loved to gamble.

Therefore, she specially brought her great-grandfather to a gambling den in Konoha, just to cater to his tastes.

However, it seems that it has backfired now.

Seeing Hashirama Senju's expression freeze instantly, Maki couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Could it be that his great-grandfather was very unhappy about him going to the gambling den at such a young age?

Thinking about this, Maki wondered if she should take the initiative and admit her mistake.

suddenly!

Hashirama Senju sighed deeply, "I never expected this..."

'Just as I expected! Just as I expected!'

Maki's internal alarm bells rang immediately, and she was about to speak, expertly admitting her mistake.

However, Hashirama Senju, who was faster, had already looked at her and continued, "After so many years, I never thought I would come to this place again. Maki!"

"exist!"

Having lost the initiative, Maki, who was thinking "It's all over," closed her eyes and forced a smile, as if she was waiting for the storm to break.

"You did a really great job!"

In an instant, Hashirama Senju's previously solemn expression vanished, his face blossoming with joy as he laughed excitedly.

"She truly is my beloved great-granddaughter!"

joke!

Hashirama Senju, who once took his granddaughter Tsunade, who was a few years old, to gamble, would not be unhappy that Maki brought him to the gambling den.

On the contrary, he only felt that Maki was just to his liking.

As for the change in expression that Maki had mistaken for something else, it was simply that he was reminded of his glorious days fighting in the casino.

"Maki! Let's make our grandfather and granddaughter dominate the battlefield!"

With an expression even more serious than when he fought Orochimaru, Hashirama Senju, now a comrade-in-arms, looked intently at Maki and extended his palm.

"Okay! Great-Grandpa!"

Just as things took a turn for the better, Maki, relieved, opened her eyes again with immense joy. Looking at her great-grandfather, whose face was full of love, she nodded repeatedly and extended her own hand.
