"Ahahahaha!"
"Sorry, sorry, I misunderstood the situation."
Hashirama Senju scratched his head and apologized to Uchiha Nan.
"Then, Third, has Konoha encountered some crisis it cannot resolve?"
Hashirama Senju's expression turned serious. For the still-living Third to disturb the soul of a dead man like him, Konoha must have suffered some terrible calamity.

Hashirama Senju sighed softly. Having fought countless battles since the Warring States Period, he had long grown accustomed to loved ones dying because of war. That was also what had driven him to establish Konoha.
"Huh?"
"Then
