Kakashi's words left Might Guy a bit bewildered. Although he wasn't clear on the exact situation, Might Guy at least knew that Konoha was temporarily out of danger.
Thinking of this, Might Guy quickly released the Eight Gates Released Formation state.
Not only Might Guy, but many other Konoha Ninja also breathed a sigh of relief and similarly ended their combat states.
"Haha! Konoha is so much better now than when the village was first built."
Hashirama Senju scanned the joyful expressions in the eyes of the many Konoha Ninja and spoke with a happy face.
Compared to when Konoha Village was just established, and various clans still held wary attitudes towards each other, seeing the current Konoha Ninja...
Hashirama Senju could clearly feel that the many Konoha Ninja before him had a stronger sense of belonging to Konoha.
Thinking of this, the smile on Hashirama Senju's face grew even wider, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
While the words of Uchiha Madara and Yūto wouldn't shake Hashirama Senju's beliefs...
Deep down, Hashirama Senju still had a trace of confusion about true peace.
But now, seeing the state of the Konoha people, Hashirama Senju understood that the peace he was trying to uphold was not wrong.
If this was the case for the Ninja of Konoha Village, then it was probably the same for the Ninja of other Ninja Villages.
"Grandfather!"
Looking at Hashirama Senju, whose face held a simple, smiling expression, Tsunade's dissatisfied voice rang out from the side.
Hashirama Senju lightly coughed, and his face quickly took on a serious expression:
"Uchiha Madara and Yūto will definitely not let things go so easily. Before long, both of them will likely make big moves. Inform the other Ninja Villages of the information regarding these two so that they can be prepared."
Hashirama Senju's voice echoed in Tsunade's ears, causing her to furrow her brow.
The other Ninja Villages had just waged war on Konoha, and now they were being so easily given information. Naturally, Tsunade was unwilling in her heart.
Seeing Tsunade's expression, Jiraiya, who was standing nearby, thought for a moment and understood why Tsunade was frowning.
"Aside from Mist Ninja Village, the war waged by the other Three Great Ninja Villages against Konoha was likely instigated by First Mizukage Yūto from behind the scenes."
"The situation in the entire Ninja World is far more severe than imagined. This is not just Konoha's problem anymore, but a matter for the entire Ninja World."
Jiraiya stood beside Tsunade and spoke softly.
Tsunade rolled her eyes. She naturally understood the stakes involved.
It was just that what annoyed Tsunade was that the other Ninja Villages could so easily obtain the important information that their Konoha had spent so much effort to acquire.
Hashirama Senju glanced at Jiraiya, a satisfied look flashing in his eyes.
However, remembering the words Yūto had said before leaving, Hashirama Senju's face held a pensive expression.
Whether it was Yūto or Uchiha Madara, Hashirama Senju had no idea what these two were going to do next.
Hashirama Senju held his forehead, looking troubled. He had originally thought that the backup plan he left behind could deal with Yūto. Who would have thought that not only did it not work, but even Uchiha Madara had been resurrected?
As for what to plan next, Hashirama Senju had no idea what to do.
If Tobirama were here, it would be great.
Thinking of this, Hashirama Senju sighed helplessly.
"Lord Hashirama! Since the matters concerning First Mizukage Yūto and Uchiha Madara are temporarily concluded, Lord Hashirama doesn't need to return to the alternate dimension anymore."
"Konoha has not yet chosen a new Hokage. Could Lord Hashirama take the position?"
Jiraiya looked at Hashirama Senju, suddenly remembering something, and spoke with a glint in his eyes.
Regarding the position of Hokage, although Sarutobi-sensei had passed it on to him, Jiraiya had always believed that he was not suitable to be Hokage.
It would be better to choose Tsunade than himself.
But now, no one was more suitable to return to the position of Hokage than Lord Hashirama.
Jiraiya's voice was not loud, but it wasn't soft either.
As Jiraiya's voice rang out, the surrounding Konoha Ninja simultaneously turned their gazes towards Hashirama Senju, their faces showing agreement.
In the entire Konoha, no one was more suitable to be Hokage than Hashirama Senju, its former founder.
Tsunade, standing nearby, also had a glimmer in her eyes.
The election for the Hokage position had been discussed countless times in the Hokage Office, but each time Danzo, Homura Mitokado, and Utatane Koharu had found various reasons to postpone it.
Tsunade had long been dissatisfied with Danzo's faction. If her Grandfather returned as Hokage, Danzo and the others wouldn't even have an excuse to object.
Or rather, they wouldn't dare!
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Hashirama Senju was slightly taken aback. The next moment, he recalled the time when he was Hokage.
The scene of being buried by a large number of scrolls made Hashirama Senju shiver involuntarily.
Hashirama Senju quickly shook his head and spoke casually under the somewhat astonished gazes of everyone:
"Forget it, being Hokage is too tiring. Just choose another one."
After speaking, just as Tsunade was about to speak, Hashirama Senju took a step and disappeared from the spot.
Seeing Hashirama Senju disappear before her eyes, Tsunade couldn't help but hold her forehead and sigh softly.
When Hashirama Senju reappeared, he was standing on a relatively high rock.
Hashirama Senju raised his head and surveyed Konoha ahead. When he saw the somewhat damaged state of Konoha's entire periphery, Hashirama Senju's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
Clasping his hands together, Hashirama Senju quickly channeled the Chakra within his body.
Boom! Boom!
The next moment, a roaring sound suddenly rang out around the periphery of Konoha.
Immediately after, under everyone's gaze, the outermost wall of Konoha, which had been destroyed and not yet repaired, suddenly grew large trees.
As soon as these large trees appeared, they began to grow rapidly, intertwining with each other.
In the blink of an eye, a wall entirely composed of trees was re-erected around the periphery of Konoha.
"This should be enough."
Hashirama Senju released his hands again and muttered to himself.
Although the constructed wall was entirely composed of Wood Release, with his Chakra enhancement, the hardness of these trees was completely stronger than ordinary Earth Release Ninjutsu.
Although the wall was easily repaired, Hashirama Senju's face did not show any happy expression.
Repairing the wall was merely to make the civilians and some Ninja in Konoha feel a sense of security.
But Hashirama Senju knew that such a wall was like paper to Yūto and Uchiha Madara.
The only thing that could stop them was absolute strength.
But...
Hashirama Senju clenched his fists tightly. With his current strength, he was no longer a match for those two.
The reason this incident ended so easily was not because of him, nor was it because of the power displayed by Konoha. While these powers would cause trouble for Yūto and Uchiha Madara...
They were not enough to keep them. The real reason for the end was the mutual apprehension between Yūto and Uchiha Madara.
Both of them were afraid that the other would stab them in the back during the fight.
If it happened again, Konoha might not be able to resolve the matter as easily as it did now.
Must improve strength!
Thinking of this, Hashirama Senju's eyes flickered slightly.
Suddenly, Hashirama Senju's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something. His body flashed, turning into an afterimage and disappearing from the spot.
At this time, Tsunade and Jiraiya on the other side were still marveling at the wall that had been repaired by Wood Release in an instant.
Almost in an instant, Hashirama Senju reappeared before them.
"Lord Hashirama!"
Jiraiya was startled and quickly spoke.
Hashirama Senju casually nodded, but his gaze did not fall on Jiraiya. Instead, he looked around.
When Hashirama Senju's gaze saw a figure in a certain direction, his face showed joy, and he quickly walked over.
"Kakashi, amazing! As expected of Lord Hashirama Senju."
Might Guy looked at the wall in the distance, entirely composed of Wood Release, and exclaimed to Kakashi.
Kakashi also nodded. Although he already knew how terrifying Lord Hashirama's strength was, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe deep down.
Suddenly, Kakashi saw a familiar figure walking towards them.
Kakashi and Might Guy were both startled and quickly spoke respectfully to the figure:
"Lord Hashirama!"
Hashirama Senju walked up to the two and scratched his head, speaking a little awkwardly:
"What are your names?"
"Kakashi, Might Guy!"
Kakashi and Might Guy quickly replied respectfully.
"I remember now, I've seen you before."
Glancing at Kakashi, a look of realization flashed across Hashirama Senju's face. He suddenly remembered having seen him in the alternate dimension.
Seeing Hashirama Senju's expression, a black line couldn't help but appear on Kakashi's forehead.
Hashirama Senju gave a dry laugh, then his gaze fell on Might Guy. He said a little awkwardly:
"Sorry to bother you, but is Might Guy interested in talking alone?"
Might Guy was clearly startled. He turned to look at his equally stunned good friend, Kakashi, his face showing a look of surprise. He quickly said:
"Lord Hashirama, of course I'm interested!"
Hashirama Senju reached out and grabbed Might Guy's shoulder. His figure flashed, and the two simultaneously disappeared.
When the two reappeared, Hashirama Senju and Might Guy were standing on a road in Konoha.
"Amazing Body Flicker Technique!"
Might Guy looked around and said excitedly.
Hashirama Senju smiled: "A minor technique."
"By the way, Might Guy, what was that Ninjutsu you used back then called?"
Hashirama Senju's eyes widened, and he looked at Might Guy expectantly, gesturing with his hands against his body.
He was describing the bursts of Chakra that suddenly erupted from Might Guy at that time.
Might Guy was startled at first, but after seeing Hashirama Senju's actions, he instantly understood what Ninjutsu Hashirama Senju was asking about.
"That Ninjutsu is called the Eight Gates Released Formation!"
Might Guy said with a serious expression.
If someone else had asked about the Eight Gates Released Formation, Might Guy naturally wouldn't have easily told them, but if it was First Hokage Hashirama Senju, then it was a different matter.
"Eight Gates Released Formation? What an amazing name!"
Hashirama Senju's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say.
Might Guy was startled. The serious expression he had put on his face instantly disappeared. How could Might Guy not be excited to be called amazing by Lord Hashirama Senju?
His sparkling teeth were revealed, and Might Guy was about to give Hashirama Senju his usual thumbs-up gesture.
However, remembering Hashirama Senju's identity, Might Guy somewhat awkwardly put down the hand he had just raised. However, he still said with an excited expression:
"It's very amazing, isn't it? I also think it's a very amazing name."
"This is the result of my father, Maito Dai, spending over 20 years cultivating it."
Might Guy had an excited expression. If it weren't for Hashirama Senju's identity, Might Guy would have already made some youthful, passionate gestures.
