They had never expected things to develop this way. Even Lord Hokage had gotten involved.
Seeing how frightened the villagers were, Torifu smiled again. "There's nothing wrong with having a normal discussion, but you all need to know where to draw the line. Don't stir up conflict between villagers over some title."
"Yes!"
All the villagers answered together, their voices ringing across the entire Konoha Ninja Village.

If the two children had been a little older, there would have been nothing wrong with the villagers competing like this.
It might even have helped them grow.

Hashirama was calling. Torifu could hear the guilt in his voice, and began to suspect something.
"Yeah, Master.
