Hashirama Reborn

Hashirama was all smiles, and after saying goodbye to his brother, he walked briskly into the meeting room. The sunlight shone on him, reflecting his tall figure, and his face was filled with confidence.

In the meeting room, Senju Butsuma and the elders were waiting for his arrival. Looking at Hashirama's tall figure and tough and handsome face, the elders all had kind smiles on their faces, and their eyes revealed their satisfaction with Hashirama. Hashirama saluted to several people, then stood respectfully aside.

"Hashirama, have you finished your training?" Senju Butsuma asked first with concern.

Hashirama smiled and replied: Father, I can now use the fairy technique successfully. Lord Slug asked me to go home and rest for a while.

Thousand-Handed Buddha nodded, and the elders on the side began to speak.

Hashirama's chakra has been condensed a lot, and his Wood Release should have become stronger as well, not bad.

Haha, it's not just his strength. After not seeing him for a while, Hashirama has become much stronger and looks like a grown man now.

Come to think of it, Hashirama will be 14 next year, time flies.

The more Hashirama listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. He couldn't help but scratch his smooth hair and interrupted the other person.

Well, thank you for the compliments, elders. Is there anything else that you want me to come here for? If nothing, I would like to go home and check on the board room first.

The Great Elder pondered for a moment and said gently: Hashirama, there is indeed one thing that I want you to do. Not long ago, Uzumaki wrote to me saying that a strange monster appeared in the waters of the Whirlpool Country. It can control the waves and has caused damage to the local seaport and houses. The Uzumaki managed to seal the shore to prevent the waves from entering, but the fishermen could not get out. Although the Uzumaki tried to repel them, they unfortunately failed. The opponent is very strong. Uzumaki asked us for help, and we were still worrying about who to send. Then you just happened to come back, so we discussed it and decided to let you and your uncle Ming and others go to the Whirlpool Country to take a look and visit the Uzumaki clan. You haven't seen your cousin for a long time.

When Hashirama heard this, he immediately frowned. Uzumaki... "In his previous life, because of his kinship with the Uzumaki, the Senju took care of the Uzumaki in many ways after the establishment of Konoha. Even if they did not join Konoha, no one dared to bully the Uzumaki clan. But what the Senju's kindness was exchanged for was the Uzumaki using the Jinchuriki as a threat, forcing Hashirama Senju to marry Uzumaki Mito. Taking advantage of the Senju's decline, he not only got the position of the Hokage's wife, but also got the powerful Nine-Tails. He stepped on the interests of the Senju and forcefully entered the core of Konoha's power."

The actions of the Uzumaki clan made the Senju clan at that time very angry. When the Senju clan became powerful, they would cling to them and enjoy the benefits of in-laws. When the Senju clan became weak, they would take advantage of the interests of the Senju clan and add insult to injury. This was also the reason why the Senju clan did not help with revenge when the Uzumaki clan was exterminated. In addition to the fact that Konoha itself was already in a difficult situation at the time, the Senju clan had been heartbroken by Uzumaki. By rescuing several Uzumaki children and handing them over to Uzumaki Mito to raise, they were already doing their best to live up to this relationship.

If he had the chance to do it all over again, Hashirama would not be able to retaliate against Uzumaki, but he was also unwilling to take the initiative to get close to Uzumaki again, and would not give the other party another chance to use the Senju's feelings to protect their own interests.

Coming back to his senses from the distant memories, Hashirama said lightly: Since we are asking for help, does that count as being hired by the Uzumaki Country? How much will the Uzumaki Country pay us?

When Senju Butsuma and the elders heard Hashirama's question, they all showed surprised expressions on their faces. The third elder could not control his anger and slammed the table and shouted: Hashirama, the Uzumaki are our relatives. They asked us for help when they were in trouble. How can we ask them for compensation!

Hashirama spoke without hesitation: The Uzumaki clan is a ninja clan, and they are very skilled in attack and sealing techniques. A monster that their clan cannot deal with must be very powerful. As relatives, we can help them attack the monster regardless of our own safety, but why should we help for free? Do we have to bear the expenses of traveling to the Uzumaki Country and the possible damage ourselves?

The third elder's anger paused and he stammered: Although the monster may be very powerful, with your Wood Release, Hashirama, and the skills of Amin and the others, plus the assistance of the Uzumaki, nothing will happen. If any danger occurs, Amin and the Uzumaki clan will definitely protect you. As for the expenses of traveling to the Uzumaki Country, the clan has had precedents before and they will all be paid by the clan, so you don't have to worry.

Hashirama was not convinced and insisted: I still think that if we want to go, the Uzumaki clan must pay the hiring fee.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became silent. After a while, Senju Fusuma spoke slowly: Hashirama, the marriage between the Senju and Uzumaki clans began a long time ago. This will not only strengthen the ties between the two clans, but also bring us more resources and support. Now that the Uzumaki clans are asking for help, Senju must go to help. Your proposal is to destroy the relationship between the two clans, do you understand?

Hashirama suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red, and the aggressive attitude of the Uzumaki clan in his previous life kept flashing through his mind. He gritted his teeth and thought, "Father, the Senju clan regards the Uzumaki clan as in-laws, but the other party has never thought of helping us." Even if Hashirama was angry, he knew that for the current Senju clan, the Uzumaki clan was still a very reliable in-law, and he should help their relatives when they are in trouble.

Senju Fusuma's heart moved, looking at his eldest son's red eyes and angry look, he said with relief: Hashirama, it's good that you can always put the interests of the Senju first. According to the information from Uzumaki, only you have to go with you, and your cousin will pick you up there. But don't mention the reward anymore. After all, the two clans are related by marriage, and the Senju cannot take the initiative to do anything that will destroy the relationship. All your expenses will be paid by the clan. Now go home and see your brother.

Hashirama opened his mouth, looked at his father's unquestionable eyes, was silent for a while, and slowly walked out of the meeting room.

Looking at the receding figure of Hashirama, the Great Elder couldn't help but sigh: Alas, this child...

Senju Butsuma lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand and knocked on the armrest of the chair, and whispered: Hashirama's action was also for Senju. Just as he said, although Uzumaki is a relative, Senju should not do too much of such unrewarding things. Next time, if Uzumaki needs help for something, just refuse it if you can.

That’s right, although what he said was a bit exaggerated, this child was also doing it for the benefit of the Senju clan.

Clan leader, Hashirama doesn't seem to care much about the Uzumaki clan.

Alas, I had originally planned to facilitate a marriage between Hashirama and Uzumaki, but seeing the attitude of this child towards Uzumaki, it’s not easy to speak up.

Haha, third brother, Hashirama is still young. When he goes to Uzumaki this time, he might meet someone he likes.

Don’t worry about children’s affairs. We old men should say less to avoid annoying others.
