Chapter 57 Main Quest 3: Also Half a Thousand Hands

"Brother." Tobirama Senju interrupted Hashirama who was about to teach. He asked Shingon, "What is your purpose?"

Zhenyan scratched his head in distress: "Second-generation Grandpa, I've told you before, I'm here to get authorization from the first-generation Grandpa."

"How did you get your Wood Release?" Senju Tobirama didn't believe that Wood Release could be grown by farming. If Uchiha could grow Wood Release, could he also open the Sharingan?

"Mr. Shingon is actually the descendant of the Senju." Orochimaru spoke with a bad taste at this time.

"Ah?" Shingen suspected that he had heard wrongly. He turned to Orochimaru and asked, "Uncle Orochimaru, what did you just say?"

Orochimaru curled his lips and said with a smile: "I have already tested the blood left by Shingon-kun last time. Shingon-kun is indeed the descendant of Senju."

Zhenyan was shocked: "Could it be that I was taken away by mistake?"

"No." Shinyan quickly denied what he had just said, "I have the Sharingan."

"That's because Shingon-kun is not only a descendant of the Senju, but also a descendant of the Uchiha." Orochimaru dropped another bomb.

The room suddenly fell into silence, and it took a long while before someone spoke.

"Um...Sasuke, is there any difference between Senju and Uchiha?" Naruto asked Sasuke in a confused manner.

"Idiot, Senju and Uchiha are two completely different families." Sasuke glanced at Naruto and asked, "You don't even know this?"

"I'm not an Uchiha, how would I know such things?" Naruto retorted.

"Uchiha and Senju, they sound like two different families," Sasuke said speechlessly.

"But my father and mother have different last names, but there doesn't seem to be much difference..." Naruto still couldn't figure it out, "Is there a big difference between Senju and Uchiha?"

The difference is more than just big. The Senju and Uchiha are old rival families that have been fighting for thousands of years.

Senju Tobirama, who had recovered from the shock, couldn't help but ask Orochimaru: "Is what you said true?"

Orochimaru spread his hands: "I have no reason to lie."

"What's more, isn't the fact that Shingon-kun awakened Wood Release the best explanation?" Orochimaru said again.

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "…………"

Senju Tobirama looked at Shingon with a complicated look. It seemed easier for Senju and Uchiha to get married and have children than for Uchiha to grow wood escape techniques through farming...

"Not bad, not bad." Senju Hashirama was very pleased, "It seems that everyone gets along well."

After Senju Hashirama finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment.

Sensing the unusual atmosphere, Tobirama Senju could not help but ask the Third Hokage: "Monkey, what on earth has happened in Konoha in these years?"

The Third Hokage looked at Shingo and Sasuke, sighed, and said, "Now the only Uchiha left in the village are these two children."

The Third Hokage did not say the word "extinction of the clan" directly, but everyone present heard the deep meaning in his words, and everyone was silent for a while.

"The first grandfather, the second grandfather, and the third grandfather." Zhenyan spoke at this time.

Regarding his own life experience, Shingen accepted it very well. After all, the Senju and Uchiha were one family a thousand years ago. There was not much difference between Uchiha or Senju to him. He interrupted a few people at this time because he didn't want them to talk too much about the extinction of the clan in front of Sasuke.

"Naruto has some questions and would like to ask the three Hokage masters." Shingon changed the subject.

"Naruto?" Senju Hashirama turned to Naruto and looked at the blond boy in front of him curiously.

"Hello, Grandpa Soushi." Naruto greeted politely.

Senju Hashirama looked very easygoing, and seemed to always have a smile on his face. He asked Naruto, "What do you want to know?"

"Grandpa Shodaime, is Hokage a hero?" Naruto expressed his doubts.

Senju Hashirama was stunned for a moment, then said, "I can't judge whether the Hokage is a hero or not."

After saying that, he scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Although I am the Hokage, I am just doing what I should do."

"What should be done?" Naruto asked again.

"Do you know how the ninja village came about?" Senju Hashirama asked Naruto in return.

"It was the first generation grandfather who founded the ninja village." Naruto said, "So creating a ninja village is what the first generation grandfather should do?"

Senju Hashirama smiled and shook his head: "The village is not the most important thing, what is important is the people in the village."

Naruto looked even more confused.

Senju Hashirama looked at the three youngsters in front of him and asked, "Do you know what the ninja world was like before the establishment of the ninja village?"

"Family brawl." Shingen, who knew the history of the ninja world, answered quickly.

Senju Hashirama nodded and continued, "Before the emergence of the Ninja Village, ninjas all worked in families. When ninjas met each other at that time, they could not easily reveal their surnames."

"Because of the fighting between the families, the strange ninjas I met were likely from the enemy families, and that's when I met Madara..."

"Is it Master Ban from the Valley of the End?" Zhenyan couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha, it's Madara." Mentioning his former enemy and close friend, Senju Hashirama laughed heartily and said, "Madara and I know each other. Although we don't know each other's last names, we have the same aspirations."

"Especially after losing my two younger brothers in the war, I realized that it was wrong to let children go to a world where they couldn't even tell their family history and fight on the battlefield. I wanted to find a way to change that."

"It was at that time that Madara proposed a plan. He said that if you want to stop the war, you should be honest with the enemy and become sworn brothers."

"Did Grandpa Soushige and Grandpa Madara finally meet each other honestly?" Naruto was attracted by the story of Hashirama Senju, and he couldn't wait to know the result.

Senju Hashirama's faint smile revealed a hint of reminiscence: "At that time, I was touched by Madara's words, and I agreed with Madara to jointly create a village to protect my brother..."

But before the establishment of the ninja village, Madara's only brother also died in the Ninja War. Later, it was Hashirama Senju who moved Uchiha Madara with his determination to die, and the two enemy families formed an alliance, and the Konoha Ninja Village was established in the chaotic world.

Senju Hashirama understood Uchiha Madara, so he wanted Uchiha Madara to be the Hokage. He believed that as long as Madara was allowed to integrate into the village, he would protect the children in the village like he protected his younger brother, but most people in the village respected him more.

Madara was pushed away, and the two people's dreams began to diverge.

Later, Madara left the village, and when he came back, he wanted to attack the village. In order to protect the village, Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara had a big battle. In this battle, Hashirama Senju personally killed his best friend who once shared the same ideals and built the ninja village with him.

Senju Hashirama's easygoing expression suddenly became a little more sullen, but soon turned into a resolute and resolute expression: "I still firmly believe that protecting the village means protecting the ninjas and children in the village."

"But it is also true that I killed my friends for the sake of the village."

Senju Hashirama made a final summary. He looked at Naruto and said, "This is the village and its Hokage."

"As for whether or not Naruto is a hero, I think everyone's opinion should be different."

The story of the first Hokage reminded Naruto of his father who was also a Hokage.

As a child, and even now as a ninja, he could not fully understand why his parents could not be there for him like other people's parents.

He had asked his father more than once, but every time he asked, his father would put his hand on his head and say to him, "Naruto, you are the most important person to us."

When he said this, in addition to tenderness and tolerance, there was an emotion in his father's eyes that he could not understand.

He doesn't understand, since he is the most important, why can't I be by his side?

At this moment, he seemed to understand a little bit, what a village was, what a Hokage was, and what Shingon had once told him about the position of judging a person.

Senju Hashirama's final evaluation of himself was "a person who killed his friends for the village", but in the eyes of the entire ninja world, he is the "God of Ninja", and in the eyes of the Konoha villagers, he is a "hero" who protects the village.

Like the first Hokage, the father of the Fourth Hokage is also called a hero by the villagers because his father has been protecting everyone, and he is one of that family, and the most important one.

Naruto suddenly tightened his fists, and his clear blue eyes lit up again: "I have decided, I, Uzumaki Naruto, will become a Hokage in the future, a Hokage as powerful as my father!"

Seeing that Naruto had regained his spirits and had a new goal, Shingen smiled with relief.

Senju Hashirama also smiled with relief, and then he turned his gaze to Shingon.

"Your name is Shingon, right?" Senju Hashirama asked.

Zhenyan nodded: "Yes, first generation grandfather."

"Why don't you go to a ninja school?" In Hashirama Senju's imagination, ninja school is used to educate children, and since Shingon can use Wood Release, it means that he has the talent of a ninja.

"I don't have any ninja talent. I use Wood Release because I find it convenient for farming and building houses." Shingon explained.

The last time he was reborn from the dirt, Senju Hashirama heard Shingon say this. Hearing it again, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why do we need to use Wood Release to farm and build houses?"

"Were you the one who came up with that agricultural and sideline business development plan?" Senju Tobirama suddenly interrupted at this time and asked. He looked at Managa with a complicated expression.

Just now, Tobirama Senju and the Third Hokage learned about the changes that Konoha has undergone over the years, especially the plan that Shingen originally submitted.

"What plan?" asked Senju Hashirama, who was still unclear about the situation.

Senju Tobirama repeated to his brother what he had heard from the Third Hokage.

After listening to what Tobirama Senju said, Hashirama Senju patted Shingon's shoulder and said with a smile: "You are quite thoughtful!"

"I just feel that there will be fewer and fewer wars in the future, and the talents of ninjas will always have to find new uses," said Shingon.

"Not for war, but for development and production?" Senju Hashirama thought about the scene, looked at Shingon with satisfaction, and said, "Your idea is really good!"

"I think the first Hokage's idea of ​​establishing a ninja village and founding a ninja school is also very good." Shingon said that the first Hokage was worthy of being called the God of Ninja as he ended the chaotic Warring States period and ushered in the orderly era of the Ninja Village.

Senju Hashirama smiled heartily and said, "I just had an idea at first. The success of the Ninja School is all thanks to Tobirama."

Speaking of the Ninja School, Shingon looked at the Third Hokage and said, "I wanted to propose to the Third Hokage that we open a junior high school department for the Ninja School."

"Junior high school?" Senju Tobirama couldn't help but answer. After hearing about Manabu's development plan, he really wanted to know what other ideas Manabu had.

"The junior high school is a place where children who should have graduated can continue their studies for a few more years," Shingon explained. "Besides that, I think the school's enrollment range can be expanded. School is a place to learn, and there are many other talents in the world besides ninja talent."

"I think that in addition to training ninjas, schools can also train other talents, and of course the courses in the school should also be expanded."

"Who are the other talents you are talking about?" Senju Tobirama asked.

"He's good at everything, including mathematics, physics, and chemistry." Shingon looked at the puzzled Senju Tobirama and gave a detailed example, "For example, Uncle Orochimaru likes to do research. If Uncle Orochimaru wasn't a ninja, he could have created many products that are useful to mankind with his research talent."

"Of course, to achieve this, we need to create an environment first, just like when the first grandfather founded the Ninja Village, so that the ninjas have a place to settle down and their talents can be fully utilized." Zhenyan slowly expressed his views, "And now the village has better conditions, and in addition to ninjas, we can also cultivate more talents."

"Whether you are a ninja or an ordinary person, everyone can give full play to their talents. Only when all walks of life flourish can the times progress."

Senju Tobirama was stunned for a moment. He looked at Managao. At this moment, he actually saw the same spirit and mind as his brother on Managao's overly gorgeous Uchiha face.

Originally, Tobirama Senju had some doubts about Mangon's identity, but until this moment, he completely believed what Orochimaru said, that Mangon was indeed Senju's child.

Although he had already made a positive decision in his heart, Senju Tobirama couldn't help but say, "What you said is not easy to achieve, right?"

"Yeah." Shingon said, but he looked at Naruto and Sasuke, and the rest of the people present also looked at the two of them.

Mingren scratched his head, not understanding what was going on, and asked, "Brother Zhenyan, what's wrong?"

"Brother Shingon is thinking that when you become Hokage, the Ninja School might open a high school department."

"Hahahahaha." Senju Hashirama suddenly laughed out loud. He said to Senju Tobirama, "Tobirama, when we first built the village, we didn't expect this day to come. Let's leave the rest to the people behind."

After resolving Naruto's doubts, Shingon remembered his purpose and said to Hashirama Senju, "Grandpa Shodai, I want a license to use Wood Release."

Speaking of Wood Release, Hashirama Senju looked at Shingon and said to his brother proudly, "Tobirama, Shingon is my successor!"

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "…………"

Although he couldn't stand his brother's overly complacent look, Senju Tobirama still said to Shingon: "As a Senju, you can use Wood Release at will."

"But no one in the village knows, so I still want a letter of authorization." Shingon said. It would be very troublesome to explain things like identity. With a letter of authorization, no matter if he is a Senju or not, he can use Wood Release at will.

The authorization letter is just a matter of signing. Seeing that Shingen insisted, Hashirama Senju waved his hand and asked Orochimaru for paper and pen.

[The Hokage of Konoha has granted Shinon the right to use Wood Release, and no one can interfere.]

After writing this, Hashirama Senju signed his name. After signing, he looked at it and pulled his brother over: "Tobirama, you also sign."

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "…………"

As the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju thought this kind of thing was childish and would damage the dignity of the Hokage. He was reluctant, but Hashirama Senju stuffed the pen in his hand.

"Hurry up and sign a signature for Xiao Zhenyan." Senju Hashirama urged.

Shingon also stared at Senju Tobirama with shining eyes. With the signatures of two Hokage, the authorization would be more convincing.

Senju Tobirama looked at the two of them, especially the natural expression on Manabu's face that was exactly the same as his brother's. He once again confirmed that Manabu did have Senju's genes...

Senju Tobirama had a wooden face and signed his name under the gaze of the two people. After signing, he did not return the pen to Senju Hashirama, but handed it to the Third Hokage who was standing beside him.

"Monkey, you sign one too." Senju Tobirama said, asking everyone to come together, so that his name as the second generation would not be so conspicuous.

The Third Hokage: “…………”

The Third Hokage took the pen...

Finally, Shingon got a letter of authorization signed by three Hokage. !
