Konoha's New Third Hokage

Chapter 70 The Death of the Pillars

In Hashirama's mansion, Kazemori Masaki saw Mito dressed solemnly. She was obviously ready. As his wife, she knew the deep brotherhood between the two.

"Tingjing said that Hashirama-sama hasn't woken up recently." Masaki Fengmori asked.

"Well, that day is probably not far away." Mito sighed slightly, then turned around and led Masaki Kazemori to the room where Hashirama was.

When he was about to arrive, he saw a red-haired woman come out of the room in a hurry. The moment she saw Mito, she called softly: "Mother." Then she walked quickly.

This red-haired woman is the eldest daughter of Hashirama and Mito, named Senju Misaki, who is also Tsunade's mother. From her hair color, it can be seen that she has inherited a strong Uzumaki bloodline, but because of the She did not become a ninja, but married the son of Uzumyo Daimyo's son when she became an adult.

Although the country of Uzumaki is dominated by the Uzumaki family, it does not mean that the country is full of red-haired Uzumaki people. There are also people from other places who are citizens of Uzumaki.As time passed, the daimyo no longer just intermarried within the clan, but accepted some women who were not from the Uzumaki family into the palace, so not all the children born could fully inherit the blood of the Uzumaki family.

The daimyo's son that Senju Misaki married didn't fully inherit Uzumaki's lineage, he has the same blond hair as his mother, from the point of view of bloodline inheritance, he shouldn't be allowed to marry Senju Misaki, but whoever daimyo likes it His mother insisted on letting her son marry Misaki Senju, and Hashirama didn't care much about blood inheritance, seeing that her daughter liked him, she made the marriage contract.

As a result, Tsunade who was born by Senju Misaki also has blond hair, including Tsunade's younger brother Nawaki who has brown hair, and none of them can inherit the pure blood of the Uzumaki family. It cannot be said that there is no ability of the Uzumaki family at all, but at least Not as good as the red-haired Uzumaki.

"Mother, father just woke up, and he seems to be in good spirits." Misaki couldn't hide the joy on her face.

"What did you say?" Mito was slightly startled, but he didn't show any joy. Unlike the young Misaki, Mito saw many seriously ill people suddenly behave like ordinary people during the Warring States Period, and then died not long after. example.

Feng Mori Masaki also thought at this time that waking up Hashirama does not mean that he has recovered. After such a long period of coma, he suddenly became full of energy. There is only one possibility, and that is to return to the light.

The three of them walked into the room, and saw Hashirama holding Tsunade and raising it high, laughing loudly, intertwined with Tsunade's laughter, a black-haired girl was kneeling beside him, she was Hashirama's The young girl is called Senju Kana. Unlike her elder sister, she mainly inherits the blood of Senju from Hashirama. Of course, she also has a part of the power of the Uzumaki family.

"Oh! Zhenghui, why are you here?" Hashirama didn't expect to see Fengmori Masaki here, and after thinking about it, he said expectantly: "Could it be that the war was over when I was unconscious gone?"

"Uh, I disappointed you. The war is not over yet, but the situation has gradually become clear. The Kingdom of Thunder has been forced out of the country. We have also captured an important person from Yunyin. We are trying to figure out how to negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Thunder. " Feng Senzhenghui said.

"It's like this." Hashirama was suddenly disappointed, he thought he could hear the news of the end of the war.

At this time, Tsunade jumped from Hashirama's arms to the ground, ran in front of Feng Mori Masaki, and said in a childlike voice: "Feng Mori, you are back. Grandpa has been sleeping, and no one plays with me Oh, it's great now, you're back, Fengsen, and grandpa has woken up, so we can continue playing together."

The little Tsunade still can't understand what death is, and she doesn't know about Hashirama's physical condition. She only knows that her grandfather who has always loved her is sleeping, and Masaki Fengmori has gone out and has not returned. Now one is back, and the other is awake. Here, she who is depressed these days can finally play happily.

"Call me Uncle Fengsen." Misaki scolded her daughter softly, and hugged her up.

Tsunade struggled in his mother's arms very unhappy. At this time, Zhuma smiled and said: "Xiao Gang, grandpa will play with you later, let grandpa talk about something first, okay?"

Tsunade nodded quickly when she heard the words, she believed that grandpa would not lie to her, and she would definitely play with her later.

"Father, let me help you get some food." Misaki said, Hashirama just drank some water after waking up, and then asked her sister to help her, Kana got up to cook with her sister.

There were only three people in the room. Mito and Fuzemori Masaki sat kneeling on the ground. Mito asked Hashirama how his body felt now, and Hashirama said, "It's not bad. I feel like I can go out and do some activities."

Mito's eyes showed a trace of worry. Although she knew that there was little hope, she still had a strong body that must have been Hashirama's, which made him look good. In fact, she was still very weak, but Hashirama's answer was obviously wrong. , Hashirama used to be unable to go out for activities, but now when he wakes up, he can go out.

"Mito, I know I don't have a few days to live." Hashirama was very self-aware, and continued: "So, I want to know the real situation of the war."

Mito was slightly taken aback. She used to only say good news, and Hashirama was also not clear-headed due to physical discomfort, but now that Hashirama can think clearly, she naturally wants to understand what is wrong with the news Mito conveyed. .

"Masaki, you too, is what you just told me true?" Hashirama immediately asked Fengmori Masaki, and he also had some doubts whether Mito had told Fengmori Masaki to lie about the war situation in advance, " The fact that Tobima is not here already shows that the war is not optimistic, I hope you can tell the truth, I don’t want to die without knowing anything.”

"Hashirama, what Masaki said is true." Mito knew that he couldn't hide it from Hashirama, so he decided to tell the whole story, "What I told you is actually true, but—"

"A lot of money was paid for it, right?" Hashirama, who had also experienced battles for a long time, immediately understood.

Mito nodded slightly, and said, "About [-] ninjas have died in battle, and most of them are members of the Senju clan. I was worried about this, so I didn't tell you."

Hearing this, Zhu Jian turned pale slightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Really, they all died bravely in battle, right?"

"Yes, according to the information from Tokaima, they all died fighting the enemy at the forefront of the battlefield." Mito nodded.

"Oh, this is also the pressure I put on them." Hashirama sighed. As Hokage, he did not seek personal gain for his family. In fact, there were some voices of dissatisfaction in the family, but "everyone in the village "One family" is Hashirama's ideal and unshakable basic concept——

The power held by the Senju clan in the village is not No. 1. However, in terms of influence, the Senju clan that has served two Hokages in a row is an example for other families. Hashirama often said to everyone at the clan meeting that the body As a member of the Thousand Hands Clan, one must be the leader of Konoha Ninja Village. Whether it is a person who agrees with this statement or a person who wants to allow the family to obtain higher power, he must run ahead of others on the battlefield.

Mito and Fengmori Masaki did not speak, and this matter cannot be explained clearly. However, the glorious image of Hashirama has indeed brought pressure to the Senshou tribe, making young children yearn for it, and making older ninjas stand up for the defense of glory. Obedience, I dare not say all of the losses of the Qianshou family, and there are some reasons for it.

"If the people of the future clan are unwilling to take on such an honor, you can find a way, no matter what method you use, so that they can make choices based on their own ideas." Hashirama said, "This is something I agree with. You can go ahead and do it.”

"I'll tell Tomona," Mito said.

Hashirama nodded slightly, and then said to Feng Mori Masaki: "Masaki, please tell me the situation on the battlefield."

Masaki Fengmori said bluntly when he saw Mito, and he didn't hide anything, he said it outright. After hearing this, Hashirama shook his head and said: "The result is not bad, at least the country of the earth has not turned its face. Hui, the term you put forward to call it a just war is very good, and the word "famous" has been used before, and with this name, the land of the earth should not turn against it halfway."

"It's not enough just like this. In this war, we have to make those aggressor countries pay some price and let them understand what it takes to start the war." Masaki Fengsen said, "I think we have to find a way to make their bottom The people know it, and maybe the people will spontaneously boycott the war in the future.”

Hashirama agrees with the previous statement, which is also his idea, but the latter sentence surprised him a bit, and said: "Although it sounds unbelievable, I think this idea is good, Zhenghui, this is the way of peace you think about." Do you know?"

"It's still very immature, and this is only part of it. I don't think it's enough to rely on these alone." Masaki Fengmori said.

"That's enough. It seems that my failure did give you some ideas, and you should be better than me. Whether you succeed or not, you will also accumulate experience for future generations." Hashirama smiled happily, "My I'm really glad that you haven't forgotten what I told you one day."

"How could I forget that only peace can lead to prosperity." Masaki Fengmori said.

"I should give you some help." Hashirama got up and rummaged in the cabinet, and took out a lot of scrolls, "These are my life's experiences. After I got sick, I summarized and recorded them one by one. You can take Let’s take a look in the past, or show it to others, as long as it works.”

"It doesn't matter if you take these scrolls to the ninja school?" Masaki Fengmori asked.

"It doesn't matter! As long as you can ensure that all students can learn." Hashirama said.

"I understand, I will maximize the value of these scrolls." Feng Mori Masaki nodded, this is Hashirama's last gift, as it should be.

"Okay." Hashirama laughed, at this moment, Misaki and Kana came in with steaming meals, and he asked Masaki Kazemori to eat together.During the meal, Hashirama talked with his family, talked with Masaki Fumori, and played with Tsunade as usual.Because Tobuma couldn't come back, he wrote a letter and asked Feng Mori Masaki to hand it over to Tobuma when he went back, and he also asked Feng Mori Masaki not to read the contents inside.

In the next two days, Hashirama spent his last happy days, after that, he never woke up again.
