The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Although Uchiha Madara was planning to destroy Konoha, it could not affect the happy mood of Konoha's top brass at this time.

In Konoha Village, in the Hokage's office, the Konoha elders gathered here have not been so happy for a long time.

As for the reason for happiness...yes, Hashirama is coming back.

Just in the morning, a little slug suddenly found Tobirama and brought news about Hashirama.

Tobirama also quickly took this opportunity to tell Slug about Konoha's situation and asked him to bring a message to Hashirama.

After learning that such a big thing had happened in Konoha, how could Hashirama still be in the mood to practice in the Shiky Bone Forest? He quickly proposed to Slug Sage to go back.

Shigulin has signed a psychic contract with Hashirama, so it will naturally not restrict his freedom, not to mention that Hashirama is extremely talented and has already mastered the sage mode.

So after some exchanges, Slug Immortal agreed to Hashirama's return.

With Hashirama now in charge of Konoha, Tobirama and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Squeak..."

The door to the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open, and Hashirama strode in, but the expression on his face was not very pretty.

"Tobirama, what's going on? How come such a big thing happened in just a few days?" Hashirama asked Tobirama anxiously.

No wonder he was a little angry.

When he left Konoha, the village was still prosperous, and brothers Madara and Izuna were staying well in Konoha.

As a result, just a few days later, Tobirama suddenly told him that Izuna betrayed the village and was killed, and Madara defected?

This made Hashirama feel very ridiculous.

In particular, Madara is also a friend he recognizes. Although the two have different political opinions, in Hashirama's heart, political opinions are political opinions and personal relationships are personal relationships. He has never really been hostile to Madara.

Not to mention, he has seen all the changes in Madara during this period.

Seeing that everything was going in a good direction, something like this happened.

"Brother, don't be anxious. I'll tell you slowly." Looking at Hashirama's expression, Tobirama knew that his elder brother was really anxious.

So, he told Madara everything from beginning to end. Of course, Tobirama didn't reveal all his little thoughts to Hashirama.

"...Just when Genji and I had just defeated Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Madara suddenly appeared and attacked us directly. We were defeated and escaped. I don't know what happened after that."

After listening to Tobirama's words, Hashirama stood there blankly and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

To be fair, this incident was indeed caused by Uchiha Izuna himself.

In fact, Hashirama is not stupid. He knows his brother very well. Hashirama knows very well that after what happened, Tobirama must have used some secret means to push the matter to an irreversible point.

But so what?

After all, it was Izuna who challenged Konoha's bottom line first. How could Hashirama have the position to reprimand Tobirama?

"What about Hanzo? Where is Hanzo now?" Hashirama said in a low voice after a long silence.

"Hanzo was suddenly channeled by Ryūchi Cave and left. He has not returned yet. However, the immortal from Ryūchi Cave sent a letter a few days ago, saying that Hanzo is practicing somewhere now and will not be able to come back for the time being." Tobirama said a little depressed.

said.

If Hanzo hadn't left suddenly, he wouldn't have been so passive.

"Is that so..." Hashirama frowned, and then a little slug appeared through his channel.

"Lord Slug, could you please contact Longdi Cave? I want to know about their contractors."

"Longdi Cave?" The little slug was silent for a moment after hearing this.

Although it may be small in stature, it is also part of the Slug Immortal and has the same thoughts and emotions.

To be honest, it really didn't want to contact the weird white snake in Longdi Cave.

But after all, Hashirama is the first contractor of Shigulin in so many years. Slug hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly and said: "Okay, I'll ask the White Snake Immortal, but I can't guarantee that I can get it."

Accurate letter."

"Thank you, Mr. Slug." Hashirama nodded.

The little slug didn't say anything, and just crawled along Hashirama's arm to the bottom of his sleeve.

Then, Hashirama looked at the elders around him and said, "What is the situation in the village now? The letter I sent before was not very clear."

"That's right, the Uchiha clan has been temporarily stabilized. The news of Hanzo's disappearance has not been leaked yet. Genji has been pretending to be Hanzo these days. We are worried that if the news of Hanzo's absence is leaked, the Uchiha clan will cooperate.

Uchiha Madara took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble," Uzumaki Mito interrupted.

"Hmm..." Hashirama rubbed his chin and thought for a while. Although he was unwilling to meet Uchiha Madara, the matter was at this point. As the backbone of Konoha, he had no choice.

"That's it." Hashirama turned to look at Genji next to him and said, "Genji, you continue to pretend to be Hanzo, but in the future you can blame everything on me.

I'm worried that if I'm alone in the village, Madara might take desperate measures, and if a war breaks out, it's likely to affect the village."

"Okay, leave it to me." Genji nodded lightly. With Hashirama standing in front of him, his pressure was indeed reduced a lot. Just like Hashirama said, many things are directly delegated to Hashirama.

In this way, you have less contact with other people, and the risk of exposure will naturally be reduced.

"By the way, where is the child of the Uchiha clan? That's Hiro Uchiha." Hashirama looked at Tobirama again.

"Uchiha Hiro was seriously injured before, and due to the side effects of using the Mangekyo Sharingan for a long time, he is still recovering in the hospital." Tobirama said.

"That's good." Hashirama nodded and said: "This kid Hanzo told me that he can be trusted. In the future, the Uchiha clan and the village may still rely on him..."

Speaking of this, many elders showed a trace of disapproval on their brows, and when Hashirama saw this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

He knew very well that after this incident, an indelible gap had appeared between the Uchiha clan and the village.

People who know Madara and the Uchiha clan will be more fearful and wary of the Uchiha clan.

Even people who don't know much about the Uchiha clan probably don't have a good impression of Uchiha.

Because...the brothers Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Madara were the first rebel ninjas in Konoha.

Before them, there had never been a single rebellious ninja in Konoha.

This alone is enough for the villagers to view the Uchiha clan through colored glasses.

"Okay, let's get here today. Let's all disperse first. If there is anything important, I will inform you." Hashirama said feeling a little tired and a little depressed.

The elders looked at each other and said nothing, then stood up and left the Hokage's office. Only Genji was still sitting there quietly.
