Chapter 226 226 The Will of Fire (Part 2)

Half a month later, the rock sculpture of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama was finally completed, and after discussion with the elders of the decision-making group, it was decided to use the beginning of spring next week as the day for the induction ceremony.

On that day, Konoha was greeted by a crowd of people.

Both ninjas and civilians came out of their homes and gathered directly below the Hokage Building.

And Senju Hashirama, wearing white clothes and a Hokage hat on his head, was standing on the roof with a smile, welcoming the cheers of everyone.

Izuna, Madara, Senju Tobirama and other seven elders stood behind him.

A few minutes passed, and the cheers gradually subsided. Senju Hashirama coughed dryly and spoke slowly:

"What I want to tell you is that after hundreds of years of war, we have finally ushered in an era of peace. Wherever the leaves are flying, fires are growing, and the light of the fire will continue to illuminate the village and make it more peaceful. The new leaves sprout, this is... Konoha!"

When he came to the last two words, Senju Hashirama suddenly raised his voice and read each word one by one.

At the same time, the cheers and applause below also reached their peak.

"good!!!!!"

"Long live Hokage-sama!!! Long live Konoha!!!"

“I didn’t expect that this old bone like me could survive into the peaceful era!!!”

"Uuuuuuu~~Brother, have you seen it? We, we have finally reached a peaceful era..."

…

News of the Fire Country and the Hidden Leaf Village quickly spread throughout the entire ninja world.

Starting from the construction of Konoha, the Kingdom of Wind, Kingdom of Thunder, Kingdom of Earth, and Kingdom of Water, which are also war-torn areas, have also calmed down and thought.

Should the era of war be over?

For a time, many war-torn areas began to calm down.

The arrival of the era of the Five Ninja Villages is a general trend and a historical necessity.

And at this time, another piece of news came - Senju Hashirama's wife, Uzumaki Reina, or Senju Reina, was pregnant!

This is the wife of the First Hokage who is pregnant.

For a moment, the threshold of Senju Hashirama's home was almost leveled.

One after another congratulatory gifts were sent in. Although Senju Hashirama refused repeatedly, he couldn't stand it anymore and could only watch as the courtyard of his home was packed with gifts from various tribes.

Quan Nai was not polite, so she bought some fruit from a roadside stall and prepared to visit.

If Mito hadn't grabbed his waist and asked him to buy some decent gifts such as supplements, he would have really planned to just visit.

Madara, on the other hand, was very arrogant. Izuna wanted to invite him to visit with him, but he was rejected.

When he arrived at Senju Hashirama's mansion and saw the fruits in the pocket carried by Izuna, Senju Hashirama couldn't help but twitch his face.

Mito gave him a lot of supplements, and then took Reina Uzumaki to another room to chat.

There is no sign of Uzumaki Reina's belly right now, but within two months, it will probably swell.

"In her belly, she must be Tsunade's parents."

Izuna thought inwardly.

"Madara didn't come?"

Senju Hashirama knelt down opposite Izuna. This was a serious habit he had developed during the Warring States Period.

Quan Nai, on the other hand, was much more bold and unrestrained, sitting down cross-legged.

Picking up the pear in the pocket he brought and biting it, Quan Nai shook his head, "It's not like you don't know his character."

"really,"

Senju Hashirama shook his head, and then raised his eyebrows, "Speaking of which, you brought those fruits as gifts to us, right? Why did you eat them yourself?"

Izuna still looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. She took out an apple and threw it at Senju Hashirama. She changed the subject and said: "There are many problems that need to be solved in the recent construction of the village, right?"

Senju Hashirama was not pretentious. He took a bite of the apple and said: "Well, there are many problems. After all, it is still in the early stages of development. However, more important than these is diplomatic work."

"Madara?"

Quan Na pondered for a moment.

After all, Madara is now the elder of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Hashirama nodded, "The Country of Fire is generally dull. Seeing that it has created an era of peace, the ninjas of the other four major nations also hope to end the era of war and start peace talks. I think it won't be long before the other four major ninja villages will They have been established one after another, and when the time comes, diplomacy between villages and countries will be indispensable.”

Izuna thought to herself.

Now that Konoha has many masters such as himself, Madara, Senju Hashirama, and Senju Tobirama sitting in charge, it can be said to be its heyday.

The four major ninja villages combined are not enough to see.

But what kind of specific policies should be implemented? Izuna still wants to see what the other four major ninja villages will be like after they are built.

After all, in the original work, there is too little description of the first Kage of other four ninja villages.

After discussing the village's problems with Senju Hashirama for a while, a masked ANBU ninja suddenly appeared and claimed to report something important to Senna.

At this time, the Anbu were not directly under the Hokage.

After receiving the news, Izuna and Senju Hashirama said goodbye and left.

Mito Uzumaki, on the other hand, wanted to chat with Reina Uzumaki, so he stayed.

…

Konoha ANBU base.

"Lord Izuna."

The first generation AN minister, Elder Uchiha Sashu, knelt on one knee in front of Izuna and said.

"You should bring me good news again, right? Zuo Xiu."

Izuna asked calmly.

"Yes, there are already some clues about the secrets of the Hyuga clan that your Excellency wants us to investigate."

The Hyuga clan land that Uchiha Sashu mentioned is not the " clan land" where the Hyuga clan currently lives in Konoha.

But during the Warring States Period, they occupied one of the largest cities in the Fire Country, Hyuga Castle.

Now the resources there have been evacuated, leaving only a ruins.

I'm afraid that in a few decades, even the Hyuga family won't want to go there anymore.

Quan Nai's face changed slightly, "Let's go!"

Instead of leaving in a grand manner, Izuna led an Uchiha team from ANBU to quietly leave Konoha and go straight to the ruins of Hyuga Castle in the southern part of the Land of Fire.

The main target is the back mountain area of ​​Hyuga Castle.

…

Boom hoohoo~~Boom hoohoo~~

The sound of fierce running water kept reaching my ears.

What caught the eyes of Quan Na and others was a huge waterfall with a height of more than 100 meters. Water splashed down from time to time, soaking everyone's clothes.

"This is……"

Izuna narrowed her eyes.

The Uchiha Jonin wearing the ANBU pattern mask behind him replied: "Yes, Master Izuna, at the bottom of the waterfall, a water cave with a special barrier was discovered."

"Special enchantment..."

Quan Nai pondered for a moment, and then jumped into the bottom of the waterfall together with everyone else.

…

In the dim space, the front was unusually bright, revealing a faint green light.

The sound of everyone's footsteps was extremely obvious in this small space.
