When Hashirama said he wanted to disband Konoha's ninja village, everyone from Konoha found it impossible to accept.
Everything had been fine. Why did he suddenly want to disband the village?
"Why? Grandfather, didn't you build Konoha yourself? Why do you want to disband it now?"

Hearing his granddaughter agree to disband Konoha, Hashirama felt a fleeting pang of reluctance, but he was mostly happy.
He was glad Tsunade had made the right choice. After all, he knew the
