Curious Hashirama and Disappointed Tobirama / A Tomboy Is a Girl

He seemed about to lose his temper, but looking at the Senju Muzoku Man's Impure World Reincarnation face, he softened.

That's enough...

Senju Tobirama pondered this, his tone softened considerably when speaking to Uchiha Fugaku.

"I'm sorry, but the ideas of us old folks may no longer be suitable for this era. Clan Chief Fugaku should do as he sees fit. However, if you need any help, please feel free to ask."

"Oh dear... Tobirama, you're so serious. You should trust the children." Senju Hashirama felt he had another chance to speak up and said happily, "I think Chief Fugaku is doing a pretty good job."

"Big brother."

"Um?"

"Shut up!"

"Sorry..."

Chapter 51: The Curious Hashirama and the Disappointed Tobirama

After a brief period of playful banter, the topic of Uchiha Madara finally came to an end, and Senju Tobirama turned to Namikaze Minato to continue discussing other arrangements.

Uchiha Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief.

Given his background, anything he says will be a trap.

"Fugaku -kun, come sit here." Senju Hashirama beckoned to him.

Unlike his younger brother, Senju Hashirama had the exact opposite attitude towards the Uchiha Clan.

He wished the Senju of the Forest and the Uchiha Clan could intermarry and merge into one.

Uchiha Fugaku walked over and sat down.

This God of Shinobi has a very good reputation within the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha Clan is just belligerent, not brainless. How could they casually join forces with their nemesis? They have to believe what he says.

The First Hokage could only be Senju Hashirama, because only he could unite all the ninja clans into one.

"Fugaku- kun, tell me about it!" Senju Hashirama asked enthusiastically. "I just chatted with the monkey, and he said the Uchiha Clan is producing a lot of talented people these days."

"That's true." Uchiha Fugaku suddenly realized this was an opportunity.

For Uchiha Shingen, gaining a favorable evaluation from this God of Shinobi would be the most valuable political resource.

Why was Sarutobi Hiruzen able to become the Third Hokage under those circumstances? Because Senju Hashirama publicly declared that Sarutobi Hiruzen was the most suitable person among the new generation of juniors to become Hokage.

His assessment gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a huge political advantage that no one else could match.

Senju Hashirama's unique position meant that his words were often politically correct.

People who are satisfied with the First will naturally have a higher tolerance level.

"Yes, First Lord, what would you like to know?"

Uchiha Fugaku suppressed his excitement.

If someone considers the God of Shinobi an idiot, then that person is truly an idiot.

As long-time rivals of the Senju of the Forest, the Uchiha Clan meticulously documented the personalities of several prominent Senju Clan, including this "God of Shinobi."

Senju Hashirama is recorded as "deliberate" rather than naive, and is considered the figure who best represents the interests of the "ninja" class. He changed the social status, warfare methods, and economic capabilities of ninjas, and is a true God of Shinobi.

However, the early records of the Uchiha Clan in the Senju Tobirama clan's archives describe him as "bold and enthusiastic," only later becoming "serious and shrewd."

In addition, Senju Muzoku and Senju Tōka are also characters included in the library.

For example, the description of Senju Muzoku is "fierce and cunning," but just now, Uchiha Fugaku didn't sense that quality from him.

He didn't think that the materials in the library were just written by our ancestors for fun, after all, everyone had different perspectives back then.

The attitude towards enemies is different from that towards colleagues.

Only...

Uchiha Fugaku simply couldn't associate Senju Tobirama with "heroic passion."

"Tell me about the situation of the Uchiha Clan over the years," Senju Hashirama said.

To be fair, Senju Hashirama's emphasis on the Uchiha Clan wasn't based on his friendship with Uchiha Madara, but rather on his knowledge of...

After his death Senju Tobirama would definitely take action against the Uchiha Clan. Although the Uchiha Clan now has Hokage to assist them, Senju Hashirama's concern for the village still made him very interested in the Uchiha Clan's development in Leaf Village over the years.

Uchiha Fugaku knew that the time had come to test his eloquence.

Only an idiot would spout nonsense in this kind of setting. Having been the clan leader for so many years, he still has this basic level of manners.

So Uchiha Fugaku began to narrate from a seemingly very "objective" perspective, but only about the period he personally experienced.

He did not conceal the increasingly fierce conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the Hokage Building, including the strategy of self-preservation he repeatedly employed during this period.

Not a single word in the entire article criticizes the Hokage Building or expresses any dissatisfaction.

Senju Hashirama listened very attentively.

He did not interrupt Uchiha Fugaku.

As the most powerful human being of his time, Senju Hashirama represented collectivism, altruism, friendship, and bonds; he believed in the power of cooperation.

Although he said things like, "I will not forgive anyone who poses a threat to the village, whether they are friends, brothers, or family," there was actually room for maneuver in those words. When Uchiha Sasuke in the original timeline arrogantly told the four Impure World Reincarnation Hokage that he planned to destroy Leaf Village, Senju Tobirama immediately wanted to kill this "evil brat of the Uchiha Clan." However, Senju Hashirama said that he would answer Uchiha Sasuke's questions first.

Senju Hashirama would not easily break his bonds with others, and would try his best to repair his relationships with them. Even when things were truly beyond repair, he would not escalate the hatred.

Although Uchiha Fugaku didn't utter a single swear word, Senju Hashirama could sense the emotions that Uchiha Fugaku inadvertently revealed.

He was also well aware of what this sentiment meant to the Uchiha Clan ninjas.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Uchiha Clan will choose to fight to the death, even at the cost of mutual destruction.

But the Uchiha Fugaku is standing here proves that something unexpected has happened.

Sure enough, an "unexpected" event occurred: the name Uchiha Shingen began to appear repeatedly.

Senju Hashirama could tell that Uchiha Fugaku greatly admired this clansman.

From his words, Senju Hashirama began to see a completely different Uchiha Clan.

The Uchiha Clan, increasingly intertwined with Leaf Village.

Not only him, Senju Tobirama was also drawn to the attention.

Uchiha Shingen's many actions resonated with him, the number one critic of the Uchiha Clan, and he also felt a strong sense of familiarity with them.

He suddenly had a strong desire to meet this Uchiha Clan.

Namikaze Minato looked bitterly at Senju Tobirama, whose attention had been drawn to him, and then gave Uchiha Fugaku a resentful glance.

Fugaku is so mean; he ruined the relaxed work atmosphere in no time.

Fortunately, Uchiha Fugaku's narration was all substantial and didn't consist of rambling or irrelevant details. He finished speaking in no time.

Senju Hashirama stroked his chin; he was now extremely interested in Uchiha Shingen.

Although Senju Tobirama disliked the Uchiha Clan, after hearing this, he had to admit that if the Uchiha Clan continued to develop as it was, then the Uchiha Clan Hokage Building would have no need to target them.

Furthermore, it's entirely possible to have a Hokage with the surname Uchiha Clan.

The Hokage succession in Hidden Leaf Village is based on the master-disciple relationship. This is done to ensure that the governing philosophy remains unbroken. However, from Uchiha Fugaku's account, Senju Tobirama knew that his strategy had actually gone astray in the hands of the monkey.

They almost drove the Uchiha Clan to the brink of extinction.

But we can't entirely blame the monkey, or even Danzo.

Ultimately, both the eldest brother and he passed away too suddenly, before many things had a chance to proceed as expected. It's understandable that the young monkey and Danzo, facing external pressure, would make misjudgments due to their lack of experience.

Once they have gained enough experience, a strong momentum will have already formed.

"Chief Fugaku, this clansman you mentioned has made great contributions to the village. Doesn't he hold any official position?" Senju Tobirama asked.

"He is currently the head of the ANBU," said Uchiha Fugaku.

"ANBU..." Senju Tobirama almost couldn't help but complain.

Given his shrewdness, he shouldn't have reacted this way, but the current ANBU...

In other words, he's not alive right now, otherwise his blood pressure would be high.

The ANBU I built with my own hands is now useless!

Despite the short time it had been, Senju Tobirama indicated that he already had a very clear understanding of the current level of Leaf Village's ANBU.

"Monkey, you haven't managed the ANBU properly..." Senju Tobirama sighed.

In this respect, Sarutobi Hiruzen was truly far inferior to Shimura Danzō.

It would be really good if these two students could learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Tobirama..." Sarutobi Hiruzen blushed.

Senju Tobirama said that he hadn't managed the ANBU well, he certainly wouldn't take it literally. He knew that Senju Tobirama was using the ANBU as an example to say that many of his policies were problematic.

Especially in the handling of the Uchiha Clan.

Instead of being fully utilized by the village, the conflicts have become semi-public.

If he were just a department head, this wouldn't be a big deal, but as Hokage, it's undoubtedly a major mistake.

Senju Tobirama Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't need to blame himself.

For the same reason, he and his older brother left too early.

There are also those Wu Zu.

If Wu Zu, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't have had such a difficult time living.

In the conference room, as the three previous Hokage were reminiscing, a man and a woman arrived at the entrance of the Hokage Building.

They are not ordinary people.

"Finally locked up all the surrendered guys." The white-haired man's tone held a hint of complaint. "The Third, really, dumped all the work on me."

"Isn't that great?" the woman beside him said indifferently. "You might even have a chance to become Hokage."

"Hey, Tsunade, don't joke with me, okay? You're the granddaughter of the First Hokage. Although we Legendary Sannin are a group, only you are qualified to become Hokage."

The man and woman were Jiraiya and Tsunade.

As for why they are standing here now...

"Let's go up," Jiraiya said.

Tsunade frowned slightly, looking at the gate in front of her with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Jiraiya saw all of this, but pretended not to know anything.

"What's wrong?"

"No... Jiraiya, you go by yourself, I'll go to the hospital."

"No!" Jiraiya quickly grabbed Tsunade. "We're already here, let's finish cursing the old man before we leave."

Just kidding, we went through so much trouble to bring this girl here, how can we give up now?

Jiraiya felt that if anyone could solve Tsunade's heartache, it would probably only be the three powerful figures who were currently with the old man and Minato.

Even if it means getting beaten to a pulp, he'll still Tsunade up there.

Chapter 52 Tomboy is a girl

The Hokage Building has never changed.

Tsunade still remembers how she felt when she first stood in front of this building and looked at the big fire character.

At the time, she had no idea how much the title of Hokage would affect her life.

Aside from Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, the people she was close to were either Hokage or aspired to become Hokage. One by one, these people left, most of them dying tragically.

Oh, and one more thing, he never really wanted to become Hokage, and he often got beaten up by the Hokage.

Thinking of that person, Tsunade couldn't help but smile slightly, but it vanished in an instant.

This scene caught Jiraiya's eye, and he thought that Tsunade had come to her senses.

"Tsunade, that's more like it! It's no fun if you don't come here." Jiraiya chuckled and started walking in, waving as he went.

"Come, come, it's been so long since I've seen the old man, let's talk about him."
