Chapter 251 Susano's Rock Statue

early morning.

The warm sunshine awakened the sleeping people, and the villagers of Konoha Village ushered in a new day.

Today is a day worth remembering. The villagers who had learned the news in advance dressed up and took to the streets to watch the grand event that only belonged to Konoha.

On the bustling street, the villagers walking slowly took advantage of this rare leisure to start gossiping.

"Did you hear that strange sound last night?"

"I heard it. I don't know whose house it is. They are still decorating it late at night."

"Hey, I thought it was an earthquake and I almost jumped over the wall and ran away~"

"Where did you go last night? Tell me in detail!"

The conversation was full of dissatisfaction with the unknown noise last night.

However, the person walking at the front suddenly stopped, and the people following him immediately braked.

"Why did you stop?"

"Hurry up, or else you won't be able to watch the inauguration ceremony~"

"Look"

I saw the villagers at the front with their heads held high and their eyes wide open. They pointed towards the top of Konoha Village and stretched out their fingers tremblingly.

The villagers behind him were confused by his behavior and subconsciously looked in the direction he pointed.

"What?"

The next moment, everyone's expressions became uniform, and their wide-open mouths could only hold two words:

"Fuck!"

Konoha Village's temporary office.

Senju Hashirama, who was wearing a red robe, was leaning against the window, looking at the rock wall above Konoha, with deep surprise in his eyes.

After admiring it for a long time, Senju Hashirama suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and showed off to Senju Tobirama who was busy with things,

"Tobirama, did you see that? Madara made me look so handsome~"

"Can you help me? Today is the day you take office as Hokage. You have been fishing there. Do you think you are suitable?"

I saw a white-haired man sticking his head out from behind a moving mountain of documents. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly. His eyes had thick black circles. It seemed that he had not had a good rest in the recent period.

"Hey, isn't that what my brother does?"

This is the experience Professor Madala gave him.

After hearing this, Senshou Tobirama, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, threw away the documents in his hands, then took out a large stack of envelopes, slapped it in his elder brother's face, and cursed angrily,

"It's all because of your connivance. Look at the good things Uchiha Madara did last night, the complaint mailbox is full!"

"Moda La also has good intentions~"

The smile on Senju Hashirama's face did not diminish as he was being questioned about his crimes. He looked at his angry brother and hit a king bomb.

"Tobirama, think about it, how expensive is it to carve a Hokage Rock? The money you save will be enough to support you in conducting several studies~"

"Hmm"

After hearing this, Qianju Tobijian, who was originally a little red and warm, slowly came back to his senses, looked down at the complaint letter in his hand, and threw it all into the trash can with his backhand.

"Ahem, cough, cough, let's put this matter aside for now. Brother, are you ready?"

Senju Tobirama, who had an incomprehensible expression, coughed a few times, skipped the complaint, turned to look at his elder brother solemnly, and asked aloud,

"The motor hasn't come yet."

After looking at the window for a long time, the person he was waiting for still didn't show up. Senju Hashirama had a little loss on his face, his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"The time is coming. Don't keep the villagers waiting too long. As Hokage, you have to set an example for everyone."

After looking at the time, Senju Tobirama patted his elder brother on the shoulder and urged,

"Well let's go~"

With a straight face, Senju Hashirama nodded slowly, picked up a hat symbolizing power from the desk, looked at it for a while, put it on his head, then turned around and opened the door. Facing the endless light, he walked towards the stage that belonged to him.

"Come out! Hokage-sama is out~"

Following Senju Hashirama's tall figure, the residents of Konoha Village, who had been waiting for a long time, let out a wave of cheers. Each of them raised their hands high with deep admiration in their eyes.

The long-cherished wish of many years was finally fulfilled. Senju Hashirama, who was so excited in his heart, opened his hands, and his rich voice, with the blessing of chakra, reached the ears of everyone present.

"Thank you all."

At the front of the crowd, the major ninja clans were lined up. In one of the more conspicuous positions, the old man of the Hyuga clan, who was waiting quietly, as the clan leader, admonished his son beside him without looking sideways,

"Tian Yao, you have to remember that if you encounter anything in the future, you must not act rashly until the last step."

"Yes, Tian Yao should keep it in mind."

The old man's pure white eyes were unwavering, and his tone of speech was very calm, but with a full sense of oppression, which made Ri Xiang Tianyao on the side sweat instantly, and the fear in his eyes was visible to the naked eye.

"Father, what are you looking for?"

On the other side, Shimura Danzo, who was sticking his butt out, raised his head curiously, looked at his father who was looking around, and couldn't help but ask,

"Sasuke, look at the Uchiha clan. Why does the Uchiha clan only have an acting clan leader?"

Shimura Kenichi, who ignored his precious son and frowned, elbowed the smiling Sarutobi Sasuke next to him, with deep doubts in his eyes.

"Well, maybe it's because the Uchiha clan leader worked too late last night~"

Sarutobi Sasuke, who was asked, turned away and looked at Uchiha Izuna, who was standing at the front of the Uchiha clan, and guessed,

"Damn it! That position should have been mine!"

Uchiha Izuna, who had his arms crossed, gritted his teeth, looked at the white hair behind Senju Hashirama on the stage, and cursed in his heart,

"Izuna-sama, where has Madara-sama gone?"

Uchiha Fire Core, who was following Uchiha Izuna, asked in confusion,

How could the patriarch be absent from such a grand ceremony? Could it be that he had a falling out with Senju Hashirama?

"Don't think too much, brother is in the best audience seat."

Uchiha Izuna, who looked slightly cold, moved his eyes upward, and then explained aloud to the worried tribesmen behind him.

On top of the Hokage Rock.

The quiet environment here is in sharp contrast to the lively scene not far away.

Just above the huge statue between Senju Pillars, a lonely figure is sitting cross-legged.

Uchiha Madara held his face with one hand. There was no expression on his handsome face, and his eyes were filled with emptiness.

His eyes were locked on Senju Hashirama who was smiling and waving, and there was an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

envy? Lost? Not willing? Or gratified

"Sure enough, he is more suitable than me."

Looking at Senju Hashirama with a hearty smile, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but recall the past scenes in his mind.

On the street, the girl who was frightened by him immediately burst into laughter after seeing Senju Hashirama's smile.

Since then, he also tried to practice a cheerful smile, but was ultimately aborted by his eldest cousin's comment that "it's so disgusting."

Thinking about it, Uchiha Madara tried to pull up the corners of his mouth and once again imitated Senju Hashirama's smile.

Smiling is one of Hokage's essential skills.

"Eh~ It's so disgusting!"

Suddenly, a teasing voice sounded above his head. Madara Uchiha stopped moving his hand, put down his hand expressionlessly, raised his head, looked at the curly head protruding from the cliff, and frowned slightly.

"Why are you here?"

"I was afraid that you might die suddenly after staying up late at work, so I came here to take a look."

Uchiha Gin who was on the cliff rolled his eyes, with deep helplessness in his tone, and then jumped up to the top of Senju Hashirama's head.

"Wow~ The view is really good. No wonder Na Luduo likes to sneak here and hang it on the wall."

After looking around, Uchiha Gin found that standing in this position, he could see everything about Konoha, and then suddenly realized,

"How about that? What weird things are you talking about?"

Uchiha Madara, who was sitting aside, didn't have much reaction to Uchiha Gin's appearance. He just raised his eyebrows and complained casually,

"Just some unimportant things. Here, I brought you breakfast~"

After scratching his head, Uchiha Gin did not answer the question. He took out a few buns from his bag and threw them away.

"Um, thank you."

Taking the meat bun that was still a little hot, Madara Uchiha's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little warmth in his heart.

"We are all brothers. Are you polite? Where's Lemon?"

Uchiha Gin waved his hand indifferently, indicating to the other party to take advantage of the heat, then took out a matza and sat next to Uchiha Madara,

He didn't sit on the floor, because Uchiha Gin was afraid that he would become a young man with hemorrhoids.

"Tsk~ It's true that you are the one, driving the Susanako rock painting in the middle of the night, it's really a knife in the butt, it opened my eyes~"

Ignoring Uchiha Madara who was devouring his food, Uchiha Gin lowered his head to admire the brand new Hokage Rock. Looking at the lifelike avatar, he couldn't help but marvel.

"Hmph~ I said before, I, Uchiha Madara, don't want to be an artist!"

After swallowing the last bun, Uchiha Madara patted his swollen belly, raised his head proudly, and replied loudly,

He was the genius who once peeled an apple into a rabbit~

"That's not good, now you can pursue your artistic dream~"

His eyes fell on the delighted Senju Hashirama, and Uchiha Gin said seemingly unintentionally,

"Well, isn't this the first generation? There will be second and third generations in the future."

Uchiha Madara's breath was stagnant, and his eyes became a little wandering. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke, revealing his little thoughts.

"You said you were fat and you still had asthma?"

This time, Uchiha Gin was speechless. Before, when he mentioned the second generation, he was just teasing his eldest cousin, but he didn't expect that he would take it seriously.

"Who else would I be in the position of the second generation?"

When he mentioned the position of Hokage, Uchiha Madara became a little arrogant. He raised his chest and raised his head with a serious look on his face. He faced Uchiha Gin and patted his chest confidently.

"."

No, it's too outrageous. It seems that this kid Uchiha Madara has not experienced the torture of society, and he still wants to be Hokage.

"Okay, come on, if you need help, ask as soon as possible, my cousin will protect you~"

Uchiha Gin sighed slightly in his heart, but looking at his high-spirited cousin, he still couldn't bear to say some harsh words, so he could only nodded and spoke words of encouragement,

"No need. I made an agreement with Haxi Hot Mom to go to his office to help in a few days. This will help me familiarize myself with the work process in advance."

Hearing this, Uchiha Madara was moved and shook his head gently.

Previously, after losing to Senju Hashirama in the Tailed Beast War, the other party specially invited me to participate in village government affairs.

"Huh? Are you going to be the secretary?"

No, the damn Senju Hashirama abused his power and tried to undo the rules.

"Ah? No, they said they wanted me to assist the Hokage."

Haha, I didn't expect that the thick-browed and big-eyed Senju Hashirama also learned to play tricks. In just a few words, he had the eldest cousin in his hands.

"Then you have to be careful. Don't drink the black tea that Senju Hashirama handed to you!"

Seeing that he couldn't change his eldest cousin who had made up his mind, Uchiha Gin had to give up, but since it was related to Uchiha Madara's chastity, he still reminded him.

"Okay."

Although he was very surprised why his eldest cousin was so anxious, the other party's concern was not false. Uchiha Madara had to nod and said that he would never eat anything from Senju Hashirama in the future.

A few days later.

In the Hokage's office.

The trembling Senju Hashirama shrank between the two people who were tit-for-tat, and dared not speak. His black eyes were full of entanglement.

On the left was his biological brother.

On the right was the man he regarded as his lifelong friend.

The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh~

At this moment, the two men stared at each other intently, and when their eyes exchanged, there were faint flashes of lightning, which made Senju Hashirama, who was caught in the middle, shrink his neck subconsciously.

Finally, he couldn't stand this depressing scene anymore, so he gritted his teeth, plucked up his courage, and said,

"You guys."

"Shut up!"*2

However, before he could say the words of persuasion, the two people who were fighting spoke together, with a tacit understanding.

"Hmph~ Big brother, the tailed beasts must not be handed over to the Uchiha clan to manage!"

Senju Tobirama retracted his gaze and put his arms across his chest as usual. His scarlet eyes were full of vigilance. He looked at Uchiha Madara opposite and said without any scruples,

"Hehe, do you think our Uchiha clan is really willing to take over this mess? I took the initiative to help him bear some of the extra burden because of the hard work of Hasi Lama."

Uchiha Madara sneered, stared at Senju Tobirama who looked more like Uchiha than himself, and retorted,

"Stop arguing~Stop arguing~"

Senju Hashirama, who was sandwiched in the middle, persuaded weakly, but it didn't have much effect.

It turned out that these people were discussing how to deal with the tailed beasts.

Before, in order to compete for the position of Hokage, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha each captured four tailed beasts, and took all the free tailed beasts in the entire ninja world.

In the end, although the Pokémon Masters Tournament decided the winner, how to deal with the remaining tailed beasts became a thorny problem.

Except for the Nine-Tails that Hashirama Senju had promised, the other seven tailed beasts were still imprisoned in the forest outside Konoha.

However, it was not a big deal to rely on Hashirama Senju's four-pillar prison to imprison them. He could easily control one or two, and three to four were not too stressful, but it was a bit difficult to suppress seven at once.

In the original timeline, Hashirama Senju could have smoothly controlled the eight tailed beasts and sold them to various countries with the full help of Mito Uzumaki's mother's family.

But now, the relationship between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha cannot be said to be close, but can only be said to be a dead end.

As a result, apart from Hashirama Senju, only the Uchiha clan was able to control the tailed beasts and prevent them from causing chaos.

However, once this idea was proposed, it was strongly opposed by someone.

"In short, the tailed beasts are Konoha's property and must not be handed over to a certain family for management, especially a family with a wrong mind!"

Because the eldest brother had just taken office and was too busy with government affairs, Senju Tobirama had not had time to start research experiments on the tailed beasts.

Originally, he thought that he would dissect and study the tailed beasts in the future.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Madara actually intervened and tried to take away the control of the tailed beasts.

Just now, the eldest brother was a little tempted. How could he let Uchiha Madara do what he wanted? He must strangle him in the cradle!

"Who do you think is wrong? You damned white-haired guy, if you dare, challenge me!"

Except for Hashirama Senju, no other outsider dared to talk to him like this. Uchiha Madara, who was furious, immediately swung his arms and was ready to fight with Tobirama Senju.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Just when the situation was about to deteriorate into a fight, a rapid knock on the door interrupted the argument between several people. Three eyes turned to the door at the same time.

"Who is it?"

"Hokage, an urgent document!"

"Come in!"

Hearing that it was an urgent document, Hashirama Senju immediately changed his attitude. The weakness just now was swept away and he became extremely serious. Uchiha Madara and Tobirama Senju also temporarily put aside the dispute and turned their heads away, not looking at each other.

"This is... Hahaha, I said, my idea is correct!"

Taking the document, Hashirama Senju read it carefully with a solemn expression. However, after a while, a smile that attracted people's attention bloomed on his tense face. He laughed and held up the document in his hand, and said to the two most important people in his life,

"What does the document say?"

This scene successfully aroused the curiosity of the two people. Looking at Hashirama Senju who was smiling like a chrysanthemum, the two people asked at the same time,

"The ninja clans in other countries have followed Konoha's example and established ninja villages!"

Standing up excitedly, Hashirama Senju walked to the window, looked at the residents living and working in Konoha Village below, turned around and announced to the two people,

"What?"

Senju Tobirama was shocked when he heard the words. People from other countries acted so quickly. Konoha was established only a year ago, and there were already cottages.

"They must have seen the peaceful scene of the Fire Country and yearned for it, so they followed our system!"

Senju Hashirama, who has spent his whole life pursuing peace, did not blame other countries for such plagiarism. Instead, he recognized it with great pleasure,

"Hmph~ That's not necessarily the case."

Uchiha Madara, who was also astonished, crossed his arms and his eyes were full of thoughts. Then he looked at the excited Senju Hashirama and struck coldly,

"That's right! These countries must have discovered that the Fire Nation's strength has grown by leaps and bounds after establishing the one-country-one-village system, and they felt fear, so they chose to follow suit and strive not to fall behind."

Unexpectedly, Senju Tobirama reached a rare consensus with Uchiha Madara. He nodded, with a hint of mockery in his scarlet eyes, and then explained to his innocent elder brother,

"When their strength develops to a certain level, they will usher in a battle between countries."

Before Konoha was established, the internal situation of other countries was not much different from that of the Fire Country. They were all in a state of melee between ninja clans.

But now, the one-country-one-village system has been formed, and the power of the ninja clan has been unified. When there are no enemies within a country, their strategic goals are naturally self-evident.

I've been working overtime a lot lately, but I'll try my best to keep updated~
