Hashirama fainted during the closing ceremony of Joint Chunin Ninja Exams. It happened in full public view and could not be concealed.
Therefore, the news quickly reached the ears of senior leaders of various countries as if it had wings, and a depressing atmosphere of dark clouds began to envelope Ninja World countries.
It can be said that Konoha cannot control such a serious situation even if he wants to.
To put it nicely, Ninja World is still at peace because the peace agreement signed by First Five Kage is taking effect.
To put it bluntly, it is God of Shinobi Hashirama Senju who suppresses the turmoil in the ninja world by himself.
Without such strong suppression, many countries and many villages would have been detonated long ago and quickly dragged Ninja World into the quagmire of war.
Now that Hashirama is in a physical condition, many turbulent forces that were suppressed in the past can't help but want to show up.
A month later, in early November, thunderstorms began to explode in some ninja villages in small countries, causing chaos.
Fortunately, the chaos did not last long and was calmed down by the mediation of Konoha.
After all, God of Shinobi Hashirama just had physical problems, not dead.
But this kind of chaos that breaks out in a small country is like constantly testing Hashirama's bottom line.
Once Hashirama himself or Konoha is unable to maintain order, no one can predict what Ninja World will become.
"It's like there's someone behind the scenes."
Inside Tenshu Tower, based on the intelligence collected from various countries, especially the chaotic small country with a ninja village, Yayoi smelled that someone was secretly controlling the situation behind the scenes.
Hashirama had a problem with his front foot, and some small countries collectively exploded with thunder on his back foot. How could it be such a coincidence?
In the eyes of Yayoi, this is the specific situation where some people want to use a small country as a chessboard stage to wildly test Hashirama and Konoha.
This is also an inevitable result. It has only been fifteen years since Konoha was established, and many veterans of the Warring States Period who hold martial ideas are still alive.
"Sir Yayoi, this is a request for support from some cooperative merchants. They hope to temporarily stay at Land of Night and get shelter."
Irori took out a list, counting the names of businessmen who requested to temporarily stay at Land of Night.
These businessmen are not ordinary third-rate businessmen who do some small business, but large businessmen with transnational capabilities. Each of them has a fortune and considerable influence in the business world.
However, this kind of influence can only be exerted stably in peaceful times. If it encounters turmoil in the current situation and has no support behind it, it will soon be wiped out by more powerful beings.
Hashirama Having physical problems is a danger signal that makes people feel extremely uneasy.
It is normal for some businessmen from small countries with strong financial resources to seek asylum in powerful countries.
Yayoi glanced at the names of the big businessmen on the list, and they were all Land of Night's external partners.
However, two of them, after secret investigation, have been secretly bribed by the big powers. At this time, they came to Land of Night to seek asylum in the name of asylum. They may have ulterior motives.
"Let Izayoi send a commando team over. Don't alert the businessmen with problems, just monitor their movements secretly."
"Then I will ask member Ritei Unit to notify."
After Irori received the approval order from Yayoi, he dispatched Ritei Unit to the Special Assault Department to inform him.
Ritei Unit, a messenger force composed of ninjas who are good at speed and Samurai, is under the jurisdiction of the Secretarial Administration Department, but Irori also has the power to command them.
After Irori went down, Yayoi calmed down and put down what he was doing.
Now that bad things have happened, you can't pretend not to have seen it, but you don't need to be too impetuous. The best policy is to be patient and do your job well, and to cope with changes by staying the same.
Moreover, many years ago, he had already made full preparations for First Shinobi World War.

Konoha.
With the changing situation outside, Tobirama is undoubtedly the one who has the biggest headache.
After all, this storm that shook the situation of Ninja World spread from within their Konoha.
After the end of Joint Chunin Ninja Exams, through his direct operation Anbu, it was discovered that many foreign ninjas appeared in Land of Fire. The identities of these foreign ninjas were difficult to identify, but needless to think, Tobirama also knew that they came from different ninja villages, and the purpose was to test the authenticity of Konoha and Land of Fire.
This is a covert action. Overtly, many countries also use formal diplomatic methods to visit Konoha.
This is not normal diplomacy, but it is to find out how Hashirama's physical condition is.
Without hesitation, Tobirama adopted a blockade policy, not letting anyone get close to him, and not letting Hashirama come forward. The main purpose was to be unpredictable, so that outsiders could not figure out the reality of Konoha.
As early as two or three years ago, Tobirama noticed the decline in Hashirama's physical condition. Although Hashirama tried his best to hide it, he still did not hide it from his eyes.
This is why he did not hesitate to take over the position of Second Hokage from Hashirama two years ago.
The purpose is to share the pressure on Hashirama and recuperate with peace of mind.
However, he still overestimated the physical condition of his brother Hashirama. If he had known this, Hashirama should not have been allowed to attend this year's Joint Chunin Ninja Exams.
But now it's too late to regret it. Spy teams from all over the world are pouring into Land of Fire, and it's already a foregone conclusion that a pack of wolves will be waiting for you.
The only thing that makes Tobirama thankful is that all the institutional measures in Konoha have been completed to a high degree. The friction between the ninja clan and the ninja clan has also become less tit-for-tat, and they have completely adapted to the life of the ninja village.
Although there are many rebellious elements behind the scenes, they basically dare not show their faces and can only engage in some dirty tricks in secret.
Over the years, he, Second Hokage, has also sent these troublemakers out to perform tasks from time to time. They died a hundred times, and if they were not dead, he would treat them as cattle and horses and assign tasks to them.
A few of them really couldn't bear the day and night life of cattle and horses, and wanted to commit rebellion and assassinate Hokage, but they were beheaded by Anbu as soon as their heads showed up.
"Lord Hokage."
In the office, a black-haired young man in his early twenties appeared, wearing black Ninja Outfit, with protective ninja plate armor on his shoulders, back and chest.
This is Konoha's currently popular and uniform ninja uniform. In addition to being lightweight, it also has certain protective capabilities. It is much simpler than Warring States Era's stacked armor Ninja Outfit.
"Here you go, Jing, how's the matter going?"
Tobirama raised his head, put down his work, and looked with satisfaction at the young man in front of him - Kagami Uchiha.
He is the descendant of the Uchiha Clan who has retired Elder with Real Authority Uchiha Shiranuma. Because of some things that happened in the past, Shiranuma recommended the mirror to him.
Under the persuasion of his elder brother Hashirama, he accepted the mirror and formally established his master-disciple status with him.
This disciple did not disappoint him. He was exactly the kind of young hero he needed who could think outside the clan and view the village and family.
His personality is not as extreme as Uchiha Clan's. Instead, he can think calmly most of the time.
Now the other party is a member of the Konoha Jonin elite, serving as Personal Guard beside him.
"The counter-rebellion forces led by Setsuna have captured it as per your request."
Jing shrugged and spoke with a relaxed expression.
The Setsuna in his mouth is Jonin who was born in the Uchiha Clan like him. However, unlike him, Setsuna Uchiha has a more extreme fighting mentality. He hopes that Uchiha Clan will be the dominant family in the village. In recent years, he has done many things behind the scenes that are not conducive to unity.
The other party thought that these things were done very covertly, but in fact they had always been under the surveillance of Anbu. It was just that Tobirama wanted to pull Setsuna Uchiha out and use it as a target to attract potential dangerous elements, so he never touched him.
But as the news about Hashirama's physical deterioration spread, Tobirama knew that he could no longer wait any longer, and he could no longer treat certain things as casually as in the past. He had to cut through the mess quickly and completely extinguish the dangerous sparks.
In addition, similar problems also existed within the Sarutobi Clan, Nara Clan, Hyuga Clan and other families, and they were all eliminated silently by him.
Setsuna Uchiha is a typical example among them, and is also the most powerful. To suppress the opponent, you need to move your fingers.
"Detain them and the rebellious elements of other families, and remove them from all positions. In addition, do not involve too much, only target the chief culprits, and do a good job of appeasing them."
Tobirama skillfully provided a set of solution procedures, which was almost his usual method of suppressing internal problems in the village. He was strict when it was time to be strict and relaxed when it was time to be relaxed.
The chief culprit needs to be severely punished, dismissed from his position, and deprived of all political status. If the problem is not big or small, he should be given the opportunity to make meritorious service, and those who have nothing to do with him should be comforted.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
"Jing, I'm the only one here, so calling me Lord Hokage is too weird."
"No, you have to address your duties when working."
Although Jing said this, there was also a teasing smile on his face. He usually got along with the teacher Tobirama, and his relationship was still very good, and there were not so many twists and turns.
It's just that public and private matters need to be separated, especially during work.
"It's up to you."
Tobirama smiled helplessly, and his originally heavy mood relaxed a lot.
At least even if some uncontrollable accident occurs, Konoha can still cope with many dangers as the younger generation of Konoha continues to emerge with a large number of elites.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
As Tobirama's voice fell, two people walked in from the door.
They are two young men of the same age as Jing, wearing the same Ninja Outfit clothes as Jing. One has short hair and a hearty and friendly smile on his face. The other also has short hair and an obvious '×' shaped scar on his chin. There is no smile on his face, giving people a serious and dull feeling.
Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Shimura Danzō.
They are Sarutobi Clan and Shimura Clan's young Jonin, respectively.
"Hiruzen, Danzo, you are here too."
Jing looked at his two friends, smiled and said hello.
"What a coincidence, Mirror."
Hiruzen answered with a smile.
Danzo nodded silently as a response.
"Lord Hokage, Danzo and I have finished our work. This is the detailed process."
Hiruzen handed over a report document.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Tobirama did not open it immediately to take a look, but glanced at the three people.
"It just so happens that the three of you are here. Because the external situation is a bit unstable now, there is an important task for you three."
Hearing this, all three of them looked solemn.
"This is my handwritten letter. Please handle the work you are doing these two days. In three days' time, set off for Land of Night in the morning and hand this letter into General of the Land of Night's hands in person. Is that okay?"
Tobirama took out a sealed letter.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
The three of them responded solemnly.
"Hiruzen, you are the captain of this mission, you will keep the letter."
Tobirama clicked on Hiruzen's name, and Hiruzen stepped forward to receive the letter.
There was no movement on the mirrored face, as if it had been expected. Only Danzo's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of displeasure at being compared to a friend.
