"....."

For a moment, the surroundings were silent. Neither Kamatsuki nor Madara responded to Hashirama's words. The atmosphere was indeed a little awkward.

Hashirama's heartfelt words did not successfully move them. After all, he had said something similar many years ago.

As for what happened after that, everyone now knows it.

After a while, it was Madara who broke the silence first.

"If Tobirama Senju heard what you said, he might fight you to death."

Madara smiled, obviously not taking Hashirama's words to heart. He even had the leisure to laugh at Tobirama.

"I'm not kidding!"

Hashirama was completely anxious now. Seeing that Madara didn't trust him, he hurriedly defended:

"You are the only one who is really suitable for this position!"

Hashirama actually has a very clear understanding of his own abilities.

After being the Hokage for so many years, he was basically completely sidelined by Kamatsuki and Tobirama, and sometimes he couldn't even be a mascot.

The Kage of a village almost tortured him crazy.

The Kage of a country, spare him!

Hashirama was very sure that compared to himself who was often soft-hearted, Madara was obviously more suitable for this position.

It was an unprecedented event for a ninja to become the leader of a country.

Only Madara, who was tough, powerful, and far-sighted, could be competent for such an epoch-making feat and shock all the monsters.

Hashirama was convinced of this.

"Madara,"

Hashirama's attitude was extremely sincere, with a look of pleading in his eyes:

"You are more suitable for this position than me, and only you can lead the new Konoha!"

Next, Hashirama gave a lot of sincere praise. In the past, Madara might have been flattered by him and then led by him.

But after so many years, Madara was not completely forgetful.

Looking at Hashirama who was blowing rainbow farts wildly, he just snorted coldly, patted the dust on his sleeves, called Shenyue who was thinking, and just left.

"Go home, Shenyue."

"Ah, Madara, wait for me!"

Hashirama, who was left behind unexpectedly, watched Madara and Shenyue who had no attachment to him walking further and further away, and his heart was like a pot of five flavors, and sweet, bitter and spicy surged up at once.

Hashirama felt bitter in his heart. He knew in his heart that it must be because he broke the promise that Madara was disappointed in him.

This time, he must not repeat the same mistake!

Hashirama just stood there, watching Madara and Shenyue leave like this, and he also made a decision in his heart.

After the master and apprentice left Hashirama far behind, Shenyue pulled Madara's arm and asked him in a low voice:

"Master, are you really not going to be Hokage?"

Shenyue thought about it carefully, and Madara was definitely moved by Hashirama's proposal.

It's not that he values ​​this position above ten thousand people, but the fact that Hashirama promised him the position of Hokage, but Hashirama didn't keep his promise, is definitely a thorn in his heart.

If he can really sit in the position of Hokage this time, then for Madara, it can make up for the regrets of the past.

Sure enough, Madara chuckled and looked at the Konoha Village not far away.

"Let Hashirama show his sincerity first."

As the old saying goes, every failure makes you wiser.

Madara now sees it very clearly that Hashirama has been painting big cakes for him all his life, but he really treats these empty cakes as treasures and swallows them one by one.

This time, if Hashirama doesn't make this cake for him first, Madara will not be fooled by him!

"So that's it!"

This trick of retreating to advance is brilliant!

Shen Yue suddenly realized and couldn't help but sigh-

It seems that the master has also learned well.

.......

In the brightly lit Hokage's office, Hashirama, who had made up his mind, summoned Tobirama, Momoka, the Senju clan members, and a group of Anbu.

The people who were suddenly called to the meeting by the Hokage were really completely confused, but everyone looked very nervous.

After all, Hashirama, the mascot, has always avoided meetings, and it is extremely rare for him to hold meetings in person. There have been only a few in all these years.

And every time he personally presided over a meeting, it was a major event related to the fate of the village.

This time, he even summoned all his confidants. Everyone was very sure that the task that the Hokage was about to announce to them would definitely be a major event related to the ninja world!

Although what Hashirama said next was indeed a major event related to the ninja world, it was really different from what they imagined.

"The current Konoha is no longer suitable to be called a village."

Hashirama stood up and looked at the map of Konoha on the table, then he stood up and solemnly announced:

"Banara and I have decided to call Konoha a country."

Hearing thisIn the room, Tobirama's breath was choked, and the Sharingan in his eyes almost couldn't help but shine.

The audience was also quiet. After a moment, someone could no longer suppress their excitement and cheered excitedly!

From village to country, it seems to be just a change in the name, but after that, it is the unremitting struggle of countless Konoha ninjas in the past ten years.

They, the ninjas, will finally have their own country!

However, before everyone's emotions could recover, Hashirama dropped another heavy bomb!

"Next, I will abdicate, and Madara will become the new Hokage of Konohagakure."

".... Senju Hashirama, what did you say?!"

In an instant, Tobirama couldn't stand the ups and downs of his emotions. He rushed up and grabbed the collar of his good brother, shaking it while hysterical.

Hashirama looked innocent. He stared at the magatama spinning in Tobirama's eyes and whispered:

"Tobirama, you opened your eyes again, ah, and opened three magatama."

With just three sentences, my brother was so angry that he opened the three magatama Sharingan.

Tobirama was furious, so angry that his internal organs were about to explode. He said bitterly:

"...Why did you choose this time?"

Just one step away, Hashirama could become the ruler of a country!

Doesn't Hashirama understand how great the honor and power is?

Compared to Tobirama's gritting his teeth, Hashirama looked calm.

He was like a wise man, with a calmness and peace that he had never had before on his face.

"Tobirama, I'm not suitable for this position."

Tobirama was even more angry now, and he angrily retorted:

"Then it won't be too late to give the position to Madara after you take the position!"

In response, Hashirama just shook his head firmly and gave an order without allowing any refusal:

"Tobirama, use your means to make Madara the Hokage."

He easily broke free from Tobirama's shackles, stood up from the Hokage's throne, and turned to the people he had summoned:

"When the village was first built, many of you obeyed Tobirama and guided the public opinion in the village, allowing me to successfully take this position."

"Now, I hope you can use the same method to make Madara the new Hokage of Konohagakure."

When this sentence reached the ears of everyone, it was no less than a thunderclap. Many people turned pale, and it was obvious that they were touched in their hearts, and it was clear that they were guilty.

Recalling the scene of promising Madara the position of Hokage, and the experience of being forced to take over the position of Hokage by public opinion, Hashirama couldn't help but feel tired.

The village is obviously the product of the reconciliation between the Senju and Uchiha families. The two families are indispensable and should enjoy equal status.

But Tobirama always thought that it was the Senju who defeated the Uchiha and he defeated Madara, which brought Konoha.

As the loser, the Uchiha should also obey all the requirements of the Senju.

Now think about it, this may also be the idea of ​​most Senju people and even villagers at that time.

"Let the past go."

Hashirama looked indifferent, but there was a trace of fatigue and annoyance between his eyebrows.

"But I hope you can do my order well."

Hearing this, some discussions and doubts that could not be suppressed began to sound among the group of Hokage confidants.

Everyone looked at each other, their minds were a little confused for a while. Several Senju and Anbu were obviously unwilling to accept it, and they raised questions:

"But with such a big change from a ninja village to a country, can Lord Madara really convince everyone?"

With a "clang", the table in front of Hashirama was smashed by his fist and cracked in the middle. He looked gloomy and was obviously angry.

"Don't stick to one clan or one village anymore!"

Hashirama spoke directly, interrupting these whispers.

The atmosphere around suddenly changed, becoming so heavy that it was almost suffocating. This was the angry Hashirama, who was unconsciously releasing chakra:

"Konoha today has long been a country!"

Under such a powerful force, no one dared to refute. The people who were still talking just now immediately shut up and obediently accepted Hashirama's scolding-

"Do you really have to force Uchiha to the opposite side of the village?"

The resentment that Hashirama had accumulated over the years completely exploded at this moment. With the blessing of anger, Hashirama's eloquence was unprecedentedly strengthened!

"Think about it carefully. If Madara was really squeezed out of the village, what would the village look like now? What would happen to the entire ninja world?"

Tobirama, who was paid special attention by Hashirama, was speechless. Of course, he understood what Hashirama was talking about.

Having read the script of Black Zetsu saving his mother, he knew that as soon as Madara left the village, he would be used by Black Zetsu. At that time, he would turn his gun and aim at Konoha.

Think again about what the Great Toad Immortal had shown them.Judging from the clips, if Uchiha Madara really left, he would be destined to attack Konoha and fight with Hashirama until both sides were defeated!

After that, once Hashirama died, the entire ninja world would fall into chaos, wars would rage, and lives would be lost...

This is definitely not a result that anyone wants to see.

"Tobirama, how did you target Shenyue back then? In front of so many children, you let Monkey beat Shenyue and told him not to hold back."

Speaking of this, Hashirama was so angry that he laughed out loud, and then he roared at Tobirama madly:

"What on earth are you thinking?!"

Tobirama froze in place, his face turned from pale to red, and then from red to pale, and his forehead was densely covered with beads of sweat as big as soybeans.

What did he think back then? Well, it's nothing, just afraid that the Uchiha clan will have another crazy and strong man who is as strong as Madara and difficult to control...

"The monkey is so much bigger than Shenyue, and the child doesn't know how to control the severity of the attack. What if Shenyue is really killed by you?"

Tobirama was really ashamed. The feeling of being questioned by his own brother about this dark history made him want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, or even crash to death!

At that time, he was extremely prejudiced against Uchiha, thinking that they put feelings first and were simply unreasonable. He could not forget the hatred of Kama, Banma, his father, and many clan members who died tragically at the hands of Uchiha.

In addition, Madara stayed in the village, so he naturally extended his fear and hostility towards Madara to Shenyue, who was his disciple.

Although Tobirama often said that as a ninja, he must abandon emotions and abide by the rules. But the facts have proved that ninjas are human beings, and human beings cannot avoid seven emotions and six desires.

Even Tobirama himself, who proposed this theory, is actually the same.

Blinded by prejudice, hatred, and fear, Tobirama naturally did ugly things that he now thought were incomprehensible and irrational.

Now thinking back, he didn't even regard Kamatsuki, who was only five years old at that time, as a child.

As for what Hashirama asked, what would happen if he really killed Kamatsuki...

In fact, Tobirama never dared to think about it.

If Kamatsuki really died at the age of five, then the various reforms she personally promoted would be buried with her.

It can be said that 90% of the credit for Konoha's current achievements is attributed to the various policies and systems formulated by Kamatsuki.

Her wisdom and foresight that transcended the times not only supported the development of the entire Konoha, but also led the future of the ninja world.

In other words, as long as Kamatsuki died, the future of Konoha and the ninja would be completely ruined with her.

Not to mention, once Kamatsuki died, Madara, who lost his last life-saving straw, would definitely go crazy!

By then, let alone the village, the entire ninja world would be razed by him!

Tobirama was so shocked by his own assumption that his whole body was soaked with cold sweat, and his palms were not warm at all.

Looking at his pale face, Hashirama sighed heavily:

"Is this what you call 'for the village'?"

Hashirama's question hit Tobirama and other confidants like a heavy hammer, leaving them speechless and unable to say a word.

"Madara and Uchiha have never hurt the village. Who is the one who really hurt the village?"

Hashirama's eyes swept across everyone present, and his voice was full of anger and disappointment:

"Isn't it just you, a bunch of self-righteous, politically manipulative idiots?"

The surroundings suddenly became dead silent, so quiet that even the air was frozen together.

No matter who it was, no one could refute every word Hashirama said.

Everyone lowered their heads in shame, and even their breathing became cautious.

It was at this time that the confidants suddenly realized that this seemingly incompetent mascot Hokage actually deserved it -

In terms of intelligence, Hashirama is certainly not as good as Tobirama; but in terms of vision, Hashirama is several times greater than Tobirama.

At this point, Hashirama sighed deeply, a trace of fatigue appeared on his face, and he waved his hand weakly:

"Go while you still have a chance, go and make up for your mistakes!"

Hashirama said so much, what else could Tobirama, who felt extremely guilty, do?

Of course, he followed his elder brother's orders and quickly arranged everything to push Madara to the position of Hokage.
