Chapter 444: What Happened in the Square

When Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju walked out of the subway station, they looked at the tall buildings in front of them with their eyes widened. Their first reaction was that they were huge!

Huge square.

Opposite the subway entrance and exit is a huge square. After going down ten steps, the ground is a flat and smooth surface paved with square tiles.

Several children were playing shooting games with water guns in the square. Several men sitting on the stairs were playing with their mobile phones together. They were obviously the caretakers of these children. The water stains from the water guns sprayed on the floor. The smooth floor could even reflect the high-rise buildings through the water.

Looking further ahead, there was a circular fountain that was constantly bubbling with water. In the middle was a stone tablet with "Konoha Inner City South Subway Station" written on the top. Below the tablet were names engraved in very small fonts, but with the abilities of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, they could see that the small characters engraved on the tablet were names of individuals.

The top few rows are:

[Konoha Engineering Department One] [Konoha Engineering Department Two] [Konoha Construction Team One] [Konoha General Engineering Brigade] and other small characters seem to be groupings, and below the corresponding ones is a personal name.

Further ahead is an arc-shaped square with roadside shops on both sides selling various snacks and drinks, as well as mobile phone screen protectors and mobile phone repair shops.

Looking further ahead, there are arches standing in all directions in the arcs. The arches are made of steel, and passers-by are entering and exiting the inner city of Konoha through the arches.

The population of Konoha's inner city is almost over 10 million. Of course, it is impossible for all of these 10 million people to have a household registration in the inner city. Many people live in the outer city but work in the inner city.

After exiting the archway, there are rows of huge trees that seem to have been artificially arranged. Each of these huge trees looks to be at least ten meters high, but they are not as impressive as the high-rise buildings protruding in the distance.

Those tall buildings give people a huge visual impact.

"This, this is Konoha?"

Just by standing at the entrance of the subway station and taking a quick look, the two were dumbfounded.

Orochimaru smiled proudly. Although this city was built under Yuya's command, you can tell me whether this city has anything to do with him.

After all, Orochimaru had been the director of the scientific research department for many years. In the first ten years when this village was founded, many things were researched by him.

And apart from anything else, Konoha is now using 4G technology. Uh, although it was done by myself from another world who was captured by Yuya and worked illegally here, but you just tell me if it was Orochimaru.

In short, Orochimaru also contributed a lot to this city.

Therefore, Orochimaru's pride is not without reason.

"Let's go in and take a look. Although the outside is quite shocking, the inside is even more..."

Orochimaru was just about to bring the two bosses in when one of them directly stopped a passerby who was playing with his mobile phone nearby.

"Hello, can I ask what's going on with that stone tablet?"

"Hey! Didn't you agree to stay with me?!" Orochimaru couldn't sit still anymore when he saw Hashirama Senju directly found a passerby to ask questions.

He and Senju Tobirama hurried over.

The man who was playing on his phone waved his hand impatiently: "It's just a broken stone tablet. What do you need to know? Isn't it written on it? That's when it was built... Wait, you're not from Konoha?"

The man who was playing with his phone reacted belatedly.

Senju Hashirama was stunned, thought for a moment and said, "My family left Konoha Village more than forty years ago, and I just came back now."

When the man heard this, he immediately looked at Senju Hashirama with sympathy: "So that's how it is. More than forty years ago, um, didn't he leave the village during the reign of the Second Hokage, that unlucky Hokage?"

Senju Hashirama was stunned, scratched his cheek and said: "Well, it may be earlier than that."

Senju Tobirama was a little angry. He walked over and asked loudly: "What bad luck did you say? What did you say about the Second Hokage?!"

The man looked at Hashirama and then at Tobirama, smiled and shook his head, then he stood up, cleared his throat and coughed, then patted the shoulder of the middle-aged strong man that Hashirama Senju transformed into: "I understand, I understand everything, when the village was just established, the whole ninja world was not peaceful, and then the second generation Hokage took office, but he didn't do a good job, and a war broke out. At that time, many people left Konoha Village to live in other places.

These people have been making a lot of trouble in recent years. When the Third Hokage asked them to come back and give them Konoha Inner City household registration, they refused to come back. Later, when Konoha was in its 30th year, the Hokage said that as long as they came back, they would be given housing and money, but not many people came back. Now they want to come back, but they don’t have household registration anymore and they won’t be given money. This should be your situation, right?"

Senju Hashirama fell into deep thought. His little courtyard...

It should still be his...

Well, he's already dead though so does it count?

Senju Tobirama didn't care about these, he only had one focus:

"Let's not talk about that for now. Why did you just say that the Second Hokage didn't do a good job?!" Senju Tobirama had a murderous look on his face, "Did the Third Hokage say something bad?!"

The man looked up and down at the sturdy man that Tobirama Senju transformed into and laughed: "Could it be that you are actually a relative of the Second Hokage? I think so too. After all, the Second Hokage is also a Hokage. There is no reason why his only relative is Miss Shizune who followed Tsunade-sama to learn medicine."

At this point, the man complained quietly: "Ms. Jingyin's talent in medicine is not that good. I heard that she gave a wrong injection to a patient a few years ago."

The expressions of Hashirama and Tobirama suddenly became strange.

The man coughed and looked at his son who was having a water fight with his friends with a water gun. Then he pulled the two men to sit under a small shed in front of a fruit tea shop.

"Hey, don't be angry. The Third Hokage has never said anything bad about the Second Hokage, but we villagers have sharp eyes. You see, the Third Hokage has developed Konoha Village to its current state in just forty years. If the Second Hokage had directly let the Third Hokage take the throne, I dare not imagine what Konoha Village would be like by then!"

The man pointed to the fountain stone tablet in the middle of the square and said, "Let's talk about that stone tablet. In the 33rd year of Konoha, the subway was built here. The Hokage felt sorry for the hard work of every craftsman day and night, so he decided to give them a chance to become famous. He wrote the names of every craftsman who participated in the construction on it. Oh, by the way, my grandfather and my father's names are on it. Every time we drink, the old man tells me about what happened back then.

Tsk tsk, it's a pity that there is no such good thing now, otherwise I would have participated in it even if I had to pay for it!"

The man slapped his thigh with a look of regret, wishing he was not born thirty years earlier.
