Chapter 306 306 Reducing his military power

After the tailed beast allocation meeting ended, Senju Hashirama changed a lot after returning to the village.

To be precise, my behavior has changed a lot.

Instead of being immersed in work as in the past, I like to take my wife and son to travel around the mountains and rivers.

From time to time, he would also bring his future daughter-in-law, the daimyo's little daughter, with him.

Fortunately, Senju Tomokazu and the daimyo's daughter were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship had been very good since childhood.

Nothing like the bloody drama in ethics dramas happened.

What Senju Hashirama likes most now is to sit with his wife, son, and daughter-in-law on the mountain behind Konoha above his sculpture, and tell his past stories.

Fourteen years after his son was born, he finally began to fulfill the mission of an ordinary father - to accompany his family.

And his duties were handed over to two people.

Qian Shu Feijian, in charge of internal affairs and diplomacy.

Uchiha Izuna, in charge of the Ninja Department and the military.

It can be said that he handed over everything to his younger brother and the current leader of the Uchiha clan.

Although many civilians and ninjas in the village criticized Uchiha Madara's behavior, under the absolute power of Uchiha Izuna, they did not dare to say anything at least openly.

Before you know it, Konoha's fourteenth year has officially arrived.

"Brother, Uchiha Izuna's power is too great."

Not long after the New Year, Senju Tobirama asked his eldest brother the question he had always been worried about.

Uchiha Izuna is now in charge of the ANBU, Security Department, Ninja Department and Education Department.

The power is too great, and it can be said that the gun is firmly grasped.

Senju Tobirama himself knew that his eldest brother still wanted him to take over the position of the second Hokage.

But Uchiha Izuna has such great power, coupled with his own strength.

Senju Tobirama is really worried that one day he will... rebel!

Facing this question raised by Senju Tobirama, Senju Hashirama could not help but frown deeply.

Although he wanted to convince himself in his heart, he felt that Izuna would not follow Madara's path.

However, Senju Hashirama, who has been a politician for many years, also understands the principle of "preventing things before they happen".

Uchiha Izuna's military power must indeed be reduced.

In the last nearly half a month, Senju Hashirama finally came up with several suitable solutions.

First, form an elite force to protect Daming Mansion, known as the "Twelve Protective Ninja Soldiers".

These people, composed of the elites of the Konoha ninja clan, were dispatched from the Konoha village to serve as guards for the daimyo.

There are hundreds of people at the bottom, and the elite ninjas who lead these people are named "The Twelve Guardian Ninjas".

It is composed of the elites of the major ninja clans in Konoha.

The candidates selected by Senju Hashirama, the first generation of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, include the super elites of the twelve top jonins of the family, including Uchiha, Hinata, Kaguya, Shimura, and Sarutobi.

Among them, Senju Hashirama also recommended the quasi-shadow level, Uchiha Enhuo, who is now one of Izuna's confidants, as the leader of the twelve guardian ninjas.

On the surface, it was to give the Uchiha clan great honor, but in fact, it was to disperse the soldiers and horses in Senna's hands.

Second, establish deeper diplomatic relations with Uzushio Village in the Country of Uzumaki, and settle most of the Kaguya clan in the eastern coastal area as a link with the Uzumaki clan.

Because Kaguya is a die-hard loyalist to Uchiha, the Kaguya family also noticed that something was wrong with Senju Hashirama. Otherwise, how could he start handing over duties to Senju Hashirama and Uchiha at the age of no more than forty years old? Izuna?

There must be something wrong with this!

In their opinion, if Senju Hashirama really has three strengths and two weaknesses, Uchiha Izuna is definitely the number one person in Konoha.

Therefore, he immediately joined the Uchiha side.

Now, Senju Hashirama is going to crack down on this kind of behavior.

Don't do this divisive behavior like taking sides!

As soon as these two orders were issued, everyone realized that Senju Hashirama was going to reduce Uchiha Izuna's military power.

In this matter, Senju Hashirama did a really good job. It not only reduced Izuna's military power, but also made people really find no reason to refute.

What’s even more ironic is yet to come.

Just after Naruto's eldest son, Senju Tomokazu, celebrated his fifteenth birthday, it was less than a month in the autumn of October, which was when the seasons changed.

Between Thousand Arms Pillar, I can't afford to get sick!

Many villagers thought this was just a trivial matter, nothing more than wind and cold.

With the body of the god of the ninja world, he can definitely recover within two days.

However, what everyone did not expect was that starting from this day, Senju Hashirama never appeared in public again.

Until the last day of Konoha's fourteenth year, the New Year's Eve festival.

Senju Hashirama, who was usually absent every year and would deliver New Year's greetings to the whole village at the Hokage Building, was absent this year.

At this moment, everyone realized that something really happened to Hokage-sama.

At this moment, many high-level officials of Konoha gathered in the courtyard of Senju Hashirama's home.

Uchiha Izuna stood at the front, silent.

The others, while facing the light snow falling above their heads, remained silent.

Dong~dong~dong~~

The melodious bell rang.

That’s the New Year’s Eve bell.

But now, no one is thinking about celebrating the New Year.

In the house, Senju Hashirama, who was lying on the hospital bed, forced a smile and said to his wife and son kneeling by the window: "But, it's a pity, at least let me see my son get married before..."

Hearing this, Uzumaki Reina quickly held Hashirama's hand and said with a forced smile: "I, I have discussed it with the Daimyo-sama and have chosen a good and auspicious day this month to hold Tomokazu's wedding. What do you think? ?”

Senju Hashirama was stunned for a moment. Although his face became paler, his smile became even wider, showing a trace of hesitation, "This, this is not good..."

Senju Hashirama knew that he would be a dead person soon.

Uzumaki Rena's behavior was to let her understand one wish before she left.

But in Senju Hashirama's opinion, it is inappropriate to hold a wedding banquet for his son when he is about to die...

"It's okay, Zhihe is also looking forward to it, right?"

Speaking of the latter, Uzumaki Rena looked at her son beside her.

Senju Tomokazu had already burst into tears at this time, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Hearing his mother's question, he choked and nodded.

"Yes, really?"

Senju Hashirama smiled happily, even if he objected, they would still insist on doing this for themselves, right?

"Yes, that's right, why didn't Tobirama come?"

Senju Hashirama suddenly remembered something and asked in a squeaky voice.

Now, even speaking, it takes a lot of effort for him.
