The First Hokage Gets a Big Slap! Hardcore Wood Release Healing, Reassigned to Danzo's Team!

"Mom, I'm home!"

Uchiha Linhai pushed open the front door and shouted at the top of his lungs.

After half a year of devilish special training, he had finally returned home.

Although Hashirama Senju following behind him made the Uchiha clansmen along the way tremble in fear, it did nothing to dampen Linhai's good mood.

He had spent half his previous life alone. Now that he had parents who loved him, he would gladly take a beating the moment he walked through the door.

Hearing her son's voice, Uchiha Nanako rushed out with a face full of ecstatic joy.

"Good boy, let Mommy take a look at you..."

Before she could finish, she caught sight of Hashirama Senju behind Linhai. The smile on her face instantly froze.

Linhai quickly lifted his face and put on an innocent, childlike expression.

"Mother, my special training is over! I'm already as strong as a chunin now! Master specifically came to help remove the old scar on your arm."

Nanako stroked Linhai's head, and her gaze immediately softened.

"My son is the best. You're absolutely a genius. Go take a bath. Mommy will make you a feast."

With that, she shoved Linhai into the house.

Linhai did not go far. He secretly pressed himself against the crack in the door and watched from behind it.

Outside, Hashirama gave an awkward laugh. "Nanako, you've grown up. Is this how you welcome your uncle?"

Nanako's eyes were like blades, her voice icy. "How would Lord Hokage like me to welcome you? Should I beat drums and gongs to welcome the enemy who killed my father?"

Hashirama sighed. "I know you hate me. But for the sake of the village, I had to kill my friend with my own hands. I never touched the Uchiha clan, and I even took Linhai as my disciple. Isn't that enough to put your resentment to rest?"

"The name Konoha was coined by my father. He left the village to travel the world, and the moment he returned, you killed him! Everything was just your word and your wife's word. I don't believe my father would destroy the village for no reason!" Nanako gritted her teeth.

Hashirama had no answer. Back then, he had overruled all objections to nominate Madara Uchiha as Hokage. So Madara would not be lonely, he had helped arrange his wedding. He had even helped Madara translate the ancient stone tablet, allowing him to master the Complete Susanoo. Who could have imagined that they would eventually turn their blades on each other? Fate truly toyed with people.

Hashirama simply shamelessly stepped forward. "I'm your son's master. My disciple asked me to remove the scar, so I can't come all this way for nothing. Give me your arm. I'll leave once I'm done."

"No need! Lord Hokage should go play bodhisattva at the hospital. Stop putting on an act in my home!"

"I'm treating this scar today, whether you like it or not!"

"Get away! Don't touch me!"

"Wood Release: All-Encompassing!"

"Aah—!!!"

A woman's piercing scream instantly rang throughout the entire Uchiha clan compound.

Half an hour later.

Linhai and Hashirama walked toward the Hokage Tower.

Seeing the clear red handprint on Hashirama's right cheek, Linhai's eye twitched wildly.

It was just removing a scar, yet he had insisted on using Wood Release to tie her up and force the treatment. He totally deserved that huge slap!

Inside the Hokage's Office.

Tobirama Senju stared at the five-fingered mark on Hashirama's face, slapped the table, and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Big Brother, apart from Sister-in-law and Tsunade, there's now another person in this world who can slap you and walk away unharmed—Nanako! This is amazing!"

Hashirama's face darkened. "Talk business! Stop enjoying my misfortune. If you've got the guts, go see her yourself. I bet she'd chop you alive with a kitchen knife!"

The two bickered for a full hour before finally getting to the point.

Hashirama's expression turned serious. "Linhai's foundation has been firmly laid, but his six-year-old body is limiting him. He's hit a bottleneck. He needs combat experience. Tobirama, assign a jonin to take him on some C-rank and B-rank missions."

Tobirama considered it for a moment before speaking. "My disciple Shimura Danzo has Uchiha Kagami on his team, who excels at Fire Release and genjutsu, as well as Akimichi Torifu, who excels at taijutsu. Danzo himself is an expert in Wind Release. This team happens to suit Linhai's affinities."

"Not bad." Hashirama nodded and looked at Linhai. "What do you think?"

"I will follow the arrangements of you two, my lords," Linhai replied respectfully.

Tobirama spoke gravely toward the shadow in the corner. "Go get Danzo."

"Yes!" The Anbu ninja vanished in an instant.

Before long, a young man with a cross-shaped scar on his chin entered the office. His posture was upright, and his expression solemn.

"Ninja No. 000272, Chunin Shimura Danzo, reporting to the First and Second Hokage! Please issue your orders!"

Tobirama helplessly waved a hand. "Danzo, relax. You're excellent in every respect, but you're too rigid. Learn more from the monkey—Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Danzo frowned tightly. "Lord Second, rules cannot be abandoned. Hiruzen Sarutobi has no sense of decorum. I disdain associating with him!"

Tobirama could not be bothered to waste words and pointed at Linhai. "This brat is Uchiha Linhai. He already has chunin-level strength, but lacks actual combat experience. Starting today, he will be assigned to your team. He is proficient in Wind, Fire, and Lightning Release. Work well together and teach him how to handle unexpected situations in combat."

"Yes, sir!" Danzo turned to Linhai, his gaze cold. "I will teach you the laws of ninja survival without reservation."

Linhai bowed deeply. "I'll be in your care, Captain Danzo."

Then Linhai turned to face the two Hokage, his eyes firm and sincere. "I will never disappoint Master and Lord Second's expectations! I will become a sturdy wall, shielding Konoha from wind and rain!"

As soon as those words fell, a fanatical light erupted in Danzo's eyes.

That completely unpretentious declaration had struck directly at the heart of this extreme patriot!

Danzo left the office with Linhai in satisfaction.

After the door closed.

Tobirama snorted and shot Hashirama a sidelong glance. "Did you teach him that pretty speech just now?"

Hashirama scratched his head. "It was my first time hearing it too. Haha, a sturdy wall! If he means it, that child will definitely be the best candidate to protect Konoha in the future."

"Stop dreaming."

Tobirama cut him off without mercy.

"The Uchiha clan will never sit in the Hokage's seat!

As long as I'm alive, don't even think about it.

Anyone who can say such things is either utterly evil or a true protector. But either way, they are unsuitable to become Hokage."

Hashirama looked at his stubborn younger brother, and could only shake his head helplessly before sighing and leaving the office.
