The Ninja World's Richest Man Was Actually Hashirama Senju?

Hizashi Hyuga: I envy you guys who wield weapons, unlike us Hyuga Clan who only know how to use pressure points and fists! What man didn't dream of wandering the world with a sword when he was young? I did too when I was little! But my dad's Gentle Fist brought my dream back to reality...

[Shinku Yuhi: I still think illusion magic suits me better...]

[Hashirama Senju: Weapons? They seem pretty useless! I'll just use Sage Art! Wood Release! True Several Thousand Hands!]

[Tobirama Senju: Dude, can you shut up?! Are you even a normal ninja?]

Makoto Ito only saw Hiruzen Sarutobi take a rectangular wooden box out of a drawer...

The moment Makoto Ito saw the wooden box, he felt that the wood looked familiar! He felt like he had seen this kind of wood somewhere before.

[Hashirama Senju: Isn't this just wood created by my Wood Release?]

[Makoto Ito: Yeah! I felt like I recognized him right away, like I'd seen him somewhere before!]

[Tobirama Senju: It seems the weapon in this box is quite valuable. After all, even the box itself is made of wood created by my older brother's Wood Release. Such wood is probably rare in the Ninja World these days.]

[Hashirama Senju: Yes, after all, I've been dead for so many years, it's normal that this kind of wood is rare!]

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the box in his hand, a look of reminiscence on his face...

"Cheng! I intend to entrust this weapon in the box to you! I hope you will use it well in the future!"

Makoto Ito was a little puzzled. Why was Hiruzen Sarutobi making such a big deal out of getting himself a weapon?

"Teacher, does this weapon have some historical background or story behind it?"

All that was seen was Hiruzen Sarutobi...

"See this box? Take this box for example, the wood used to make it is not ordinary wood. It is the wood mentioned in Wang Wei's poem. Ah, no, it is the wood left behind by the First Hokage when he used Wood Release!"

This wood is extremely hard, making it an excellent material for furniture making, and it's also very heat-resistant! It has many advantages, which has led to its extreme scarcity in the Ninja World today!

People in the Ninja World affectionately call this wood Hashirama Wood! Just this box alone could sell for thousands of taels of silver!

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Makoto Ito exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Good heavens, this wooden box can sell for thousands of taels?

Are the wood created by Wood Release really that valuable?

Now that I can use Wood Release! I might as well go into timber wholesale! Wouldn't that make me incredibly rich?

After all, the people in the Ninja World can't tell the difference between the First's Wood Release and his own Wood Release. They're both made of the same wood! He can just make a lot of wood and sell it. Wouldn't becoming the richest person in the Ninja World be just around the corner?

[Madara Uchiha: Good grief, Wood Release can be sold for money now?]

[Hashirama Senju: I feel like I've missed out on an endless treasure...]

[Makoto Ito: Don't say anything more! I've decided to quit being a ninja! I'm going to sell wood!!!]

[Tobirama Senju: Uh...]

[Izuna Uchiha: Outrageous!]

[Minato Namikaze: I'm wondering how much that giant Buddha statue of the First Hokage is worth?]

[Hizashi Hyuga: This box alone is worth thousands of taels, so wouldn't that giant Buddha statue be worth millions?]

[Shinku Yuhi: I think it's too little! Tens of millions of taels should be enough to sell it for...]

[Madara Uchiha: Good heavens! So, it turns out that Hashirama is the richest person in the Ninja World? Then why did I bring him pocket money from the clan every day back then?!]

[Hashirama Senju: I had no idea my Wood Release were so valuable! If I had known, I would have sold the wood long ago!]

Hizashi Hyuga: The God of Shinobi is selling wood? Good heavens, this scene is almost unbearable to watch!

[Hatake Sakumo: Absolutely no one dares to buy on credit!]

[Tobirama Senju: Nonsense!! Who would dare to buy on credit? Before my older brother could even Madara Uchiha had already wrecked his entire house!]

[Madara Uchiha: What does it have to do with me that Hashirama is selling wood?!!!!]

[Tobirama Senju: Isn't this your joint marital property?]

[Madara Uchiha:???!!! You Tobirama! I've noticed your mouth is getting more and more offensive! Your mental illness is getting worse and worse! How come I didn't notice you had this mental illness when you were in Konoha? Your previous persona seems completely different from your current one, doesn't it?]

[Tobirama Senju: I don't care! I've already given up! Look at what we've become since this Chat Group came along?]

My brother, the mighty God of Shinobi, has become a goofy, talkative, and clueless idiot! And you? The mighty Ninja World Asura, has become gay! And then, inexplicably, I ended up with Izuna Uchiha. Our personas have pretty much collapsed by now, haven't they?

What's the point of clinging to the old persona? Whatever! I'm tired, let it all end!

[Hizashi Hyuga: You know what, you really have to admit! You guys were all legendary figures, but ever since this Chat Group appeared, I've found that you're all just idiots!]

[Minato Namikaze: Hizashi, is it possible that everyone in this group has completely ruined their public persona? Do you really think you're normal? Actually, in other people's eyes, you're just a goofball!]

[Hizashi Hyuga: Uh... fine, I'll just be a goofball! Like the Second Hokage just said, the character's already ruined, so whatever!]

[Hashirama Senju: I actually think this is great! Everyone can live happily together every day, and then Makoto Ito can revive us all, bringing true peace to the Ninja World! This is what I've always hoped for!!!]

[Madara Uchiha: So what happens after the Ninja World is at peace? What are you planning to do next?]

[Hashirama Senju: Madara! Let's open a lumber mill! And sell Hashirama Wood!!! We'll definitely make a fortune!!!]

[Madara Uchiha: Uh...]
