"Forming bonds with others and helping each other really is something that makes people happy."
Tsunade agreed.
She wiped the sweat from her cheeks, her gaze toward Divine Tree Pillar somewhat dazed.
"Your body carries that man's blood and genes."
"Is that so?"
Divine Tree Pillar smiled without arguing. "Although I've never met Hashirama Senju, I seem to know very well what kind of person he was. Perhaps his genes have already influenced me, but I don't reject it."
If he could keep living in the Land of God.

A cold, arrogant voice rang out.
"Divine Tree Pillar, it seems you've forgotten your mission."
"If the meaning of your existence is merely to farm, then what was the point of letting you be born?"
The voice came from Above the Heavens.
Divine Tree Pillar suddenly turned and looked up, only to see a man floating high Above the Heavens, his gaze proud and condescending.

With a single thought, he could decide Divine Tree Pillar's life or death!
"No, that's not what I mean."
