Chapter 242 242 The second year of Konoha

With the birth of Senju Tomokazu, the first year of Konoha gradually entered the end.

Because of the birth of the eldest son of the Hokage, many people can't help but speculate whether the position of the second generation Hokage will be inherited by the eldest son of the first generation Hokage.

After all, during the Warring States Period, many ninja clan leaders were succeeded by their eldest sons.

The most representative of them is the Hyuga family.

For example, the current Hyuga Chisato, when his father Hyuga Tenzong died, there were at least three veterans in the family who were stronger than him.

Why make him the clan leader? Now it’s the Zong family again?

It is precisely because the Hyuga inheritance adopts this hereditary method.

Although Senju Hashirama is still under thirty and in his prime, the position of Hokage is so important that people have to pay attention to it.

I learned from the Intelligence Department that many ninjas and even some villagers were discussing this matter.

Senju Hashirama simply took advantage of Senju Tomokazu's full moon banquet to invite all the great ninja clans.

In the early days of Konoha's construction, he had to show his selflessness and express to the major families that he, Senju Hashirama, had no intention of monopolizing the position of "Hokage".

Despite the birth of his son, Senju Hashirama's time with his family has not actually increased. He is still fully devoted to his work as Hokage.

Compared with the future Seventh Generation Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto has only increased.

I wonder if Satoshi Senju and Mirai will become rebellious idiots like Boruto Uzumaki.

Of course no one would refuse the full moon banquet given by the Hokage-sama's eldest son.

Not only Izuna, but Madara, who never liked the excitement, came here to save face.

Seeing the arrival of the two Uchiha guests, the other guests involuntarily dispersed to make way for them.

Even if Izuna and Madara didn't deliberately exude aura, the impressions they had on other people in the village had already been deeply rooted in their hearts.

"Haha! Madara, Izuna, you are busy people too! But today, let's all put down what we are doing! Have a good drink, have fun, and play a few dice with me!"

Senju Hashirama laughed and walked out of the inner hall.

It seems to be no different from the period at the end of the Warring States Period, when Uchiha and Senju first united, and it was also the period when the relationship between the three was at its best.

"Ah,"

Madara sneered, crossed his arms over his chest, and tilted his head to the other side.

Hashirama laughed awkwardly twice.

Izuna said cheerfully: "Hashirama, don't you have any idea? You will lose every bet."

Senju Hashirama instantly lowered his head and became depressed, his old habit of gloominess recurred.

Senju Tobirama stood beside the seat in the inner hall, silent, just looking at the two Uchiha representatives quietly.

Senju Hashirama quickly returned to his silly smile and greeted everyone: "Come on, come on! Everyone, take a seat! Take a seat!"

As the founders of Konoha and representatives of Uchiha, Izuna and Madara naturally sat in the top seats, almost equal to Senju Hashirama in the main seat.

And Izuna's spouse, Uzumaki Mito, was sitting dignifiedly beside Izuna.

"Hashirama, you haven't forgotten the first thing about the full moon mat, right?"

Izuna still had the attitude of playing life, holding a wine glass and shouted to Senju Hashirama.

"Of course, of course,"

Senju Hashirama laughed twice.

After waving his hand, the servant of the Senju family immediately picked up a pile of things and arranged them in a circle.

These things include the four treasures of the study: pen, ink, paper and inkstone, abacus, jade, medical syringe, kitchen utensils, toys, food and so on.

Yes, this is "catch the week".

It sounds like a very superstitious custom, but in fact no one takes it seriously and just treats it as a piece of music.

But soon, someone discovered that today's "week capture" seemed to be more than just fun.

For children of ninjas, especially children of Hokage, among the items that are taken away, there are ninjutsu scrolls, or unopened tachi or kunai.

These are all essential things, however, Senju Hashirama was not prepared for them.

Immediately afterwards, the Hokage's wife, Uzumaki Reina, walked out of the back room, holding a petite body in her hands, and placed it gently in the middle of the circle.

Senju Tomokazu, who was just one month old and had just grown a little hair on his head, was looking around with curious eyes.

Should I say he is worthy of being the son of Hokage?

Surrounded by so many people, I didn't even cry.

I saw Senju Tomokazu's bright eyes staring curiously at the things surrounding him.

Two minutes later, he started to crawl around, finally grabbed a brush, held it in his hand, and waved it twice. Then he seemed to lose interest, his eyes became soft, and he looked like he wanted to cry.

Seeing this, Uzumaki Reina, who had been waiting silently by the side, quickly picked up her son again, bowed to the high-ranking Konoha figures present, and quickly returned to the inner room.

Soon, everyone heard a baby crying from the direction of the back room.

Just as the servants were cleaning up the Zhou Zhou objects on the floor, Senju Hashirama laughed again and said, "Hahaha! It seems that my son is more interested in literature!"

Hearing Senju Hashirama's words, everyone present was thoughtful.

Of course they wouldn't be stupid enough to believe this, it was just a child's nonsense.

What they were more concerned about was why Senju Hashirama didn't place things like ninjutsu scrolls and kunai among the Zhou Zhou objects.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Senju Hashirama say again: "Let me tell you another piece of good news. Not long ago, the great name of the Fire Country proposed marriage to my son, and he wanted to betroth his newly born little daughter to me. Boy, it seems that this is really God’s will, let him serve as a bridge between us Konoha and the Land of Fire, and I will let Reina train him into an excellent diplomat.”

diplomat?

Not a ninja?

Everyone understands.

Senju Hashirama used the guise of "catching Zhou" to announce to everyone - I, Senju Hashirama, have no intention of training my son to become Hokage.

They don't even intend to let him become a ninja. The Senju family has no monopoly on the "Hokage position".

"As expected of Hashirama, you really dare to do it..."

Quan Nai whispered.

Although I knew Senju Hashirama was not that kind of person, most people in the village didn't think so.

Even if he lacks strength, there are many losers who covet the position of Hokage.

There are also many people who want to find fault with Senju Hashirama.

Senju Hashirama simply used the method of knocking on the mountain to shock the tiger to warn these people and tell them to shut up.

Confirming his selflessness as Hokage.

"Chiya is so pitiful. He doesn't understand anything, so his life is determined."

Mito, who was sitting next to Izuna, whispered, his tone full of motherly love.

It’s no wonder that for a baby who is just one month old, his spouse and future path are determined.

Senju Hashirama and Namikaze Minato are both the same type of people.
