Hashirama Reborn

Seeing that Hashirama didn't respond, the third elder awkwardly stopped denouncing Uzumaki. His old body stood motionless, his cloudy eyes staring blankly at the man opposite him - Senju Hashirama.

The son of the previous clan leader, he became the new Senju clan leader when he grew up. Relying on Wood Release, he made the Senju clan the strongest ninja clan. He led the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan to establish Konoha together. He defeated the Uchiha clan and became the first Hokage of Konoha, bringing the power and reputation of the Senju clan to its peak.

Everyone says that Senju Hashirama is powerful and kind-hearted, and is a great ninja who ignited the fire of peace in the world. After the recent battle with the rebel ninja Uchiha Madara, he was revered as the God of Ninja in the Ninja World.

He came from a good family, became famous at a young age, and now has both status and strength. Even his marriage, which was criticized by many people, has now been completed. It is obviously a life that everyone would envy, but the person in front of him does not seem to be very happy.

The mature and handsome man stood in the darkness, his face, which looked particularly pale due to injury, was full of indifference. He looked to the side with empty eyes, without any joy of getting married.

...After a long time, the third elder couldn't help but follow the other party's gaze out of curiosity. It was a corner of the yard. He remembered that there were a lot of weeds growing there. Because of the Hokage's wedding, they were all cleared and neatly laid with floor tiles. There should be nothing there now. What was Hashirama looking at?

No, that's not right. The third elder took a step forward, squinted his eyes and observed carefully, only to see a hint of green appearing on the ground between the hidden gaps. Weeds of unknown species were quietly hiding in the cracks. The originally lush branches and leaves had been cleared away, leaving only a little bit under the gap that was skipped by careless humans and survived tenaciously.

The third elder had an ugly look on his face, secretly cursing the unreliable tribesmen in his heart. It was he who gave the order to fill in the yard, and now he and the tribe leader had discovered the flaw, which made him feel a little embarrassed. Even looking at that bit of green made him feel unhappy.

The petty old man said dryly: "Chief, I will ask someone to deal with it tomorrow. These little guys are really too much of a worry now! Back then, we...

Hashirama shook his head, interrupting the Third Elder's chattering, and stared at the green spot, muttering to himself: ...It's useless, because we can only see it because we are standing far away, but people walking on it will not pay attention to their feet, so how can they find the foreign object in the gap?

The third elder retorted: Hashirama, you can't say that. These weeds have amazing vitality. As long as the roots are still there, they will break through the ground at any time. If you let it continue, what if the floor tiles are damaged!

Hashirama turned to look at the old man, and whispered in an unclear manner: "Third Elder, if you really want to clean it up, you must dig up the foundation and the soil layer before you can pull it out by the roots. Who would do such a thankless task? Anyway, just pretend not to see it, no one will really care about those little weeds..."

The Third Elder's heart moved, and his ninja instinct began to scream out danger. He looked around in confusion, and the surroundings were extremely quiet with only the sound of the breeze blowing.

Third elder?

Hearing Hashirama's puzzled question, the third elder suppressed the strange thoughts in his heart. How could it be possible? This was the Konohagakure Village founded by the Senju people, and right in front of him was the strongest ninja in the ninja world, Hashirama Senju. How could he be in danger?

Huh, finally breathing a sigh of relief, the Third Elder ignored his instinctive warning and laughed at himself, "I'm getting old." However, after carefully thinking about Hashirama's words for a while, he felt that there was no need to waste time and energy on such trivial matters.

Looking at the dark night sky, the third elder calculated the time. He had ignored Uzumaki Mito for a long time. Leaving the girl alone in the empty room for such a long time on the first day of the marriage was also a warning to the Uzumaki clan. Now was not the time to completely break off relations with the Uzumaki clan.

Thinking of this, the Third Elder waved his hands and chuckled: Forget it, forget it, you are just too soft-hearted! So let it be, it's getting late, Hashirama, you can't let Uzumaki Mito spend the first day of your marriage alone, you should go back quickly.

Hashirama didn't move, just stared at his palm. His palm was broad, with distinct joints and long knuckles.

These hands brought him many victories, but also took many lives.

These hands brought him a brief peace, but also sent away his important friend.

These hands made him the God of the Ninja World, and it was also these hands... that eventually pierced Madara's heart and took his life.

Hashirama raised his lips and muttered to himself: Am I too soft-hearted? Maybe, even though I know it's wrong... I still can't bear to leave... Konoha... everyone... darkness... That's why... Madara...

The third elder was startled. From Hashirama's low muttering, he vaguely heard an unpleasant name. His face suddenly darkened. Thinking of the entanglement between the clan leader and that Uchiha, he said seriously: Clan leader! Uchiha Madara, that vicious traitor, is Konoha's enemy. Even the Uchiha clan has abandoned him. Why do you still want to...!

boom!

Before he finished speaking, a terrible aura came down, pebbles bounced on the ground, the dull wind blew up the gray hair, and the terrifying murderous aura rushed straight to his face. The third elder staggered back a few steps, looking at the opposite side in horror. The gentle Senju Hashirama was gone, and the man in front of him who was looking at him with resentful eyes was the God of Ninja World, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

Third Elder, this is the last time. I don't want to hear such words again. Madara is one of the founders of Konoha and my only... Hashirama opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the rest of the words. How could he, who had killed Madara with his own hands, have the nerve to say those two words again? The emotions that he had forced himself to suppress surged up in his heart again, and something was roaring from the bottom of his heart and wanted to rush out.

Hashirama began to hunch over and cough, masochistically feeling the pain coming from all parts of his body, trying hard to savor the last thing Madara left for him.

Cough...cough

Even with his hands covering his mouth, the suppressed gasps still echoed in the silent courtyard. The Third Elder's pupils constricted and he tried to slow down his breathing. The fingers hidden under his long sleeves twitched unconsciously and he froze in place, not daring to open his mouth to break the strange and terrifying atmosphere.

After a while, Hashirama straightened his back again, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as if nothing had happened, and walked forward expressionlessly. Except for his increasingly paler face and exceptionally rosy lips, he seemed to have turned into the powerful Hashirama Senju, the most reliable guardian of Konoha.

and many more!

The third elder grabbed the arm of his family leader and wanted to question him about vomiting blood, but was shocked to find that he was only holding the sleeve. The once firm, plump and powerful arm seemed to have disappeared in a short period of time, leaving only empty clothes supporting this weak body.

weak?

The third elder had never thought that this word would appear on Senju Hashirama, but the horrible scene before him made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart. Even though the major ninja clans are now secretly eyeing the Senju, and even though the Uzumaki clan is taking advantage of the situation, the Senju clan does not have much sense of crisis.

Because everyone understands that as long as Hashirama Senju is there, the Senju will always be the strongest family in Konoha, and will always occupy the most important resources and interests. But now, there seems to be something wrong with the "confidence" that they are proud of?
