I'm drawing manga in Naruto

This is a treaty on paper.

Everyone knows that Konoha now has three great masters, and these lousy nobodyes together are no match for one person. Saying this is just a reminder to Hashirama Senju to be careful of the kid in his house.

Hashirama Senju didn't know Akabane and was a little worried before he came back, but when Mito Uzumaki brought out that huge stack of manga books to show him, he instantly forgot about it.

until night.

He witnessed the Third Hokage's death and, filled with emotion, said to Mito Uzumaki, "The Will of Fire... Well said! The ninjas of Konoha are all excellent. Those who understand the Will of Fire are not schemers."

"Ah."

Mito Uzumaki nodded slightly.

If he were truly a schemer, why would he summon Hashirama Senju and claim all the credit? Akabane would undoubtedly be the next Hokage, capable of ruling Konoha.

His current actions are enough to prove that Akabane has no interest in power struggles at all.

"Tell me what has happened recently. I am very interested in this boy named Kurama Akabane."

Hashirama Senju said very seriously.

Akabane is a genius.

To possess such strength at such a young age, and to see through the allure of money and power, is truly a first-rate sage. How could such a person be a schemer?

Mito Uzumaki sat down and began to tell him what had happened recently.

He recounted everything from the manga to what happened afterward in great detail. When Hashirama Senju heard that Tsunade was with Akabane, he almost left his tent in the middle of the night to have a heart-to-heart talk with Akabane.

When the topic turned to the Uzumaki clan, he sighed heavily.

The tragedy of the Uzumaki clan was something Hashirama Senju had never anticipated, and in a sense, it changed his understanding of his path to peace.

If my previous approach was correct, why did the Uzumaki clan end up like this?

As long as you live, peace exists.

Once death comes, peace also vanishes and ceases to exist.

Madara mentions "eternal life" and the achievement of lasting peace, but immortality is such a thing...

Hashirama Senju is similar to Mito Uzumaki.

Immortality is not a good thing.

It may seem like there's no cost involved, but in reality, fate often hides a price.

The more you gain, the more you lose.

Chapter 378 Are all men like this?

In the camp's secret basement, Akabane sealed the Gedo Mazo within, and had Mito Uzumaki use a sealing technique to temporarily isolate the inside from the outside world, preventing outsiders from being affected.

He himself sat inside the cave, observing the condition of the heretical demon statue.

"You brat, the One-Tail and Six-Tail are ours for now, but don't bring out the Ten-Tail, or we won't be able to get past the First Hokage."

Danzo walked in from outside, and his complexion wasn't too bad.

He was used to taking the blame; it was better to take the blame for his disciple than for that guy Hiruzen Sarutobi. Besides, there was no reason to return the Tailed Beasts that were in Konoha's hands.

of course.

If left unchecked, given Hashirama Senju's personality, he would probably have returned everything the very next day.

"Teacher, of course I know that. I understand the dangers of the Ten-Tails better than you do."

Akabane answered without hesitation.

The Ten-Tails is Kaguya Otsutsuki. Putting aside her strength, the progenitor of chakra has abilities that are so abnormal they're beyond words. He struggled to defeat Madara, so he certainly didn't want to face that old woman.

"That's best."

Danzo sighed softly. Akabane had many ideas and was very strong, so he couldn't control him now. He could only give him some advice. Fortunately, with the First Hokage around, he didn't have to worry about the kid going wild.

However, this is something to be proud of.

Of Hiruzen Sarutobi's three disciples, Orochimaru and Tsunade were certainly outstanding, and Jiraiya also had extraordinary potential. However, his own two disciples had already begun to show their talents, and the third disciple, although slightly less outstanding, was still extremely excellent.

What more could you ask for?

No one is perfect.

Danzo was quite proud that his three disciples had achieved such success, and that he himself had surpassed Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Anyway, he doesn't have high demands; he's quite satisfied as long as he can complete the current task.

"By the way, have you figured out how to resolve the Tsunade matter?"

Danzo sat down and casually mentioned something.

Ok?

Akabane was puzzled. Had something happened to Tsunade? Medical ninjas should always stay in the rear and shouldn't be in any danger. Besides, she could easily treat ordinary wounds herself.

That day, while facing the Gedo Mazo, his mind was filled with thoughts of the terminal server. When his teacher suddenly asked him about Tsunade, he couldn't react for a moment.

but……

He quickly understood Danzo's meaning.

Now that Hashirama Senju has come back to life, he has to give an explanation for getting his hands on that person's granddaughter.

Akabane was under a lot of pressure. Although Hashirama Senju wouldn't hold a grudge against him because of Madara, meeting the parents was something he had never done before, both in his past and present lives. Madara had even whispered in Hashirama's ear that he should be careful...

These freckles are really annoying.

He secretly complained to himself.

By the next day, Akabane had finished all the remaining manga and sent it to Izumi Yamano for printing. The issue of the distribution of spoils after the war had also been completely resolved.

Smaller villages like Amegakure will receive slightly more missions, allowing them to have the resources to train their own ninjas.

These mission quotas didn't all come from Sunagakure; many were contributed by the other four major ninja villages. However, Sunagakure contributed the majority, while the mission quota originally promised to Konoha was reduced to one-third.

That's Hashirama Senju's style.

Even Tobirama Senju couldn't stop something like this, so Danzo, being a disciple, naturally wouldn't want to make a fool of himself and could only silently agree to Hashirama Senju's suggestion.

Although Sunagakure suffered a terrible fate, it received some financial and resource assistance, enabling it to rebuild quickly after the war. The next Kazekage could only be chosen from Chiyo and Ebizo.

Chiyo didn't want to be elected; she wanted to save her son.

However, among this generation, she is the most prestigious and capable.

In these aspects, even Ebizo is inferior. He is somewhat like Danzo of Sunagakure, always doing the dirty work behind the scenes, and not many people know how much he has accomplished.

In the end, apart from the issues of the one-tailed and six-tailed creatures, everything else turned out well.

Neither Sunagakure nor Kirigakure could solve the problem of the Tailed Beasts.

The former was basically ruined by Madara, while the latter played a huge role in the massacre of the Uzushiogakure clan. He refused to back down because Hashirama Senju wanted to eat people, and with the Six-Tails in his hands, he had no choice but to suffer the consequences.

Akabane would have definitely not hesitated and would have immediately used the Thunder God Technique to return to the village.

A teacher reminded him that he should stay and build relationships with the "masses," especially the big shot among the new students...

However, Akabane realized that he was overthinking things.

Hashirama Senju had no time to pay him any attention.

This guy was happily gambling with Tsunade. He wasn't very good at gambling and had a high chance of losing to others, but he had already won all day.

Even from a great distance, Akabane could hear that incredibly joyful laughter.

What kind of skill is it to bully Tsunade!

He was annoyed.

So he went up and fought Hashirama Senju for several rounds, easily defeating him by using the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to amplify his senses and Observation Haki.

After twenty rounds of gambling, the first generation master quit gambling.

Mito Uzumaki could see through Akabane's tricks, but she wouldn't be foolish enough to say it out loud. She had always disapproved of things like gambling, otherwise she wouldn't have kept Tsunade under such strict control.

She was quite happy to see the first generation suffer a setback.

Promoting positive energy is everyone's responsibility.

Hashirama Senju was frustrated by his loss and stopped mentioning the gambling. Tsunade, on the other hand, was all smiles – even though she lost the gambling, Akabane won it back and gave it to her, so she even made a profit.

However, he quickly stopped caring.

Losing to his own junior is not shameful, and seeing Tsunade so happy makes him genuinely happy too.

From this perspective, it's really good to be alive!

He was a little emotional.

However, Tsunade is only fourteen or fifteen years old, so marriage is out of the question. This brat will need further observation before he can be officially recognized. At least on Hashirama Senju's side, Akabane won't get through easily.

Akabane wasn't in a hurry about these things.

He didn't want to enter the grave of marriage too early. His relationship with Tsunade was fine as it was for now, and he didn't want anything to change in the short term. They were still "children," and he wanted to have fun first.

Hashirama Senju chatted for a while longer, then picked up a manga and continued reading.

He's almost finished reading it.

Many scenes in the story deeply moved him, and some of Naruto's words resonated with him: peace is difficult, but that's precisely why we must persevere...

After reading a few pages, he saw the scene of the Second and Fourth Hokage using the Flying Thunder God Technique at the same time, and suddenly realized and said, "Akabane, I heard that you have mastered Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Yes."

"Let's not wait for the main group, let's hurry back to the village. I can't wait to see what the new village looks like."

Hashirama Senju was extremely excited.

He was eager to see how Konoha differed from the manga.

"That's a good feeling."

Akabane was very happy.

He had wanted to leave before, but he didn't dare to set off on his own because of Hashirama Senju's attitude. Now it was just the right time to go.

"Walk."

Hashirama Senju patted Akabane on the shoulder and urged him on. Akabane didn't hesitate and immediately used Flying Thunder God Technique to take him away back to Konoha.

With his current chakra, he wouldn't have much of a problem even with Hashirama Senju, but replenishing chakra after it's been used up is too troublesome, so Akabane used Hashirama Senju's chakra instead.

In the camp, Mito Uzumaki and Tsunade looked on with puzzled expressions.

These two just left like that?

Are all men like this?

Back at the Hokage Building, they were quickly spotted, as this was the heart of Konoha and heavily guarded. However, when they saw Akabane and Hashirama Senju standing together, they couldn't believe it.

Senju Hashirama?

"First Lord?"

"Could it be a transformation spell?!"

"..."

Before long, several Hokage guards arrived, each on high alert, not daring to approach Akabane and Senju Hashirama. They soon discovered that this Senju Hashirama was different from the one they knew.

He has the Rinnegan!

"Be careful, he might be Madara in disguise, and Akabane might also be controlled by Madara."

The guard leader spoke in a somber tone.

"Haha, everyone is still full of energy, I'm back again."

Hashirama Senju laughed loudly.

In his eyes, these were all juniors and children, and such actions were not considered offensive, but rather legitimate crisis protection. Before long, the three generations arrived.

Long ago, the Third Hokage had been with the First Hokage for a while, so he could tell the difference between the real and fake Hokage, even if others couldn't. Upon meeting him, he would immediately bow with utmost respect: "Greetings, First Hokage."

Now, no one had any more doubts.
