The Hokage Building, located in the heart of Konoha.
Compared to the present, the former "Hokage Building" was just a small mound of earth.
After several renovations and expansions, the Hokage Office now covers nearly a thousand square meters.
Hashirama Senju's head swayed up and down and left and right like a windmill, marveling at the sight.
In the huge Hokage Office, the only places to sit, besides the Hokage's desk, are a sofa next to it.
He looked at the magnificent view outside the bright floor-to-ceiling windows and felt deeply gratified.
He turned to look at Kagami Uchiha, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Kagami, Minato said that you guided him in many things, so why don't you become Hokage?"
"Minato is great, but I think Madara would be pleased if you became Hokage. You can definitely surpass me!"
Kagami Uchiha glanced at the entertainment magazine and said calmly.
"I've already surpassed you."
"You've never had any talent to begin with; I just have no interest in becoming Hokage."
Hashirama Senju (￣ロ￣llll)
"Mirror... at least to the First Hokage Lord... at least don't speak so bluntly."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smile.
Since Tobirama Senju wasn't present, Kagami Uchiha didn't dislike Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Close the magazine.
"It's you old folks who always like to act like you're old and say things like that."
"Alright, that's enough of our reminiscing. You and Orochimaru can leave now. The official start will be a few days away. We have something to discuss with Hashirama Senju."
With his predecessor present, Minato felt awkward sitting there and, with a forced smile, saw Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru out.
Hashirama Senju was also amazed as he watched the door automatically close and lock.
Although it's only his first day here, he already doesn't really want to leave.
There are so many new and interesting things here, and most importantly...
On his way here, he caught a glimpse of a casino with extremely luxurious decorations!
What he didn't know was that there were no gambling dens in Konoha on a regular basis.
The relevant departments considered that the foreign daimyo who came to watch the game might have this kind of need...
Let those daimyo experience the passion of Konoha!
If you came by sedan chair, we will buy you a train ticket when you go back.
Only the Minato, mirrors, and Hashirama remain in the middle of the arena.
His expression also turned serious.
"Mirror, do you want to rule the Shinobi World?"
"I... can help you!"
History has proven that what I did at the time was wrong.
It wasn't that he was stupid, but rather a limitation of the times.
Moreover, during his lifetime, the Shinobi World did indeed enjoy a certain degree of peace, which made him feel that everyone could live together peacefully.
Now, a similar moment is before him.
He felt that it was a better choice for the Shinobi World to be led by a righteous person.
When true peace arrives, he believes that even if Ban returns, he won't do anything more.
Even if something were to happen, he didn't think Madara could defeat Kagami.
"I don't need your help, and I didn't keep you here for that reason."
Kagami Uchiha took out a huge scroll and threw it in front of Hashirama Senju.
"Orochimaru took the Book of Seals with him, and the Wood Release we found is incomplete."
"Write down your Wood Human, Wood Dragon, Thousand-Armed Kannon or something like that."
"Ah?"
"What? I didn't even ask for the Book of Seals to be returned. What's wrong with asking you to write down a few Ninjutsu!"
"Oh..."
Hashirama Senju diligently wrote down the training method for the Wood Release technique, then looked up and asked.
"You're not going to have Tobirama write Flying Thunder God later, are you? Or should I have him write it and then I'll take it from him? I'm worried about his... you know."
"No need, we don't need his outdated version."
"First Hokage, please forgive me." Minato forced a smile and comforted Hashirama, who looked dejected once again.
Hashirama Senju wrote down all his Wood Release techniques without reservation, including the new uses he had developed in recent years.
"Then may I ask, what are the rules of your martial arts demonstration?" Hashirama Senju somewhat cautiously.
He felt that Kagami's temperament was a bit like a combination of Tobirama and Izuna.
"Knockout stage, semi-finals, finals."
"First, I'll throw all the teams that want to participate into the Death Forest. When there are only 32 teams left, I'll arrange another venue."
Hashirama Senju frowned slightly. "Kagami, I detected several terrifying chakras among the participants. The Death Forest is located too close to the village."
"The aftermath of the battle could very well affect the village."
Kagami Uchiha looked at Hashirama Senju as if he were an idiot.
"You were really Hokage? You didn't learn the Four Red Yang Formation?"
"Okay..." Hashirama Senju his fingers.
"You one, me one, Minato... Minato, your chakra reserves can't sustain the Four Red Yang Formation for long, right?"
Since it's a competition, maintaining the barrier will take a long time.
"How about we let the monkey and Tobirama not participate? They are Impure World Body, which can sustain their energy expenditure."
Kagami Uchiha waved his hand. "Alright, stop worrying about this. Go out and have some fun."
Hashirama Senju: "..."
Now, there are only two people left in the Hokage Office.
Minato looked at the list of participants, his brows furrowing slightly. "Sasuke, Naruto, Karin, Hinata, Neji..."
"Kagami, I have no objection to letting them participate, but should we put these kids in the same team? How about Kakashi or Shisui the team?"
"Don't worry, it's just to show them what it's like."
"If it becomes fatal, I will save him."
Minato said with a bitter expression, "But... the rules state that life and death are irrelevant, and the whole process will be broadcast live."
"What if others see us breaking the rules..."
What are the rules?
Kagami Uchiha picked up an entertainment newspaper again.
There was a report that piqued his interest.
They plan to film a documentary about Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara working together to establish Konoha, emphasizing their equal status.
And the legitimacy of the Uchiha's rule over the Land of Fire.
Kagami Uchiha never cared about such issues; he never even tried to hide it. He was the one who led the invasion of Konoha.
What's this?
Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.
Kagami Uchiha casually said, "Minato, we make the rules. So what if I broke the rules right in front of them?"
"I'm willing to give them relative fairness, and they should thank me for that."
"I will take care of the martial arts training. You and Sakumo should keep an eye on security during this period."
"Like I said before, if anyone tries to cause trouble, just kill them. Konoha doesn't have a prison for them."
Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.
"Hokage!!"
"Someone attacked Uchiha Tetsu and stole one of his eyes!!"
"Lord Jiraiya is leading his men in pursuit, but the bandit is too fast; it seems to be Kekkei Genkai Swift Release!"
Boom!!!
The door to the Hokage Office was smashed by the powerful shockwave!
The ninja who brought the message was terrified. In his mind, even if the Hokage was furious, he wouldn't destroy the gate...
From his perspective.
The glow of the setting sun was behind that figure.
His figure appeared somewhat hazy and indistinct in the backlight.
A scarlet Sharingan slowly rotated.
A chilling voice rang out.
"This is really interesting..."
