Chapter 5: Selection of the Third Hokage

"Teacher, is what the person in the light curtain said true?"

Tobirama shook his head and nodded.

"I'm not sure. I can only tell you that what I experienced personally is indeed as this person said."

Tobirama has actually confirmed that what the person in the light curtain said should be true.

It's just that he doesn't want Sarutobi Hiruzen to hear his judgment and thus influence the other party.

He is not young anymore. He will be Hokage for a few more years. When the new generation grows up, he will abdicate.

Those who can sit in the position of Hokage must have their own independent thinking ability and cannot just follow what others say.

Even he, the abdicated second-generation Hokage, is no exception.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen and several other students are the best of their generation.

According to his estimation, the third-generation Hokage will be selected from these students.

First, Mito Kado En, Utatane Koharu, Uchiha Kagami, and Akimichi Tofu are excluded.

The first two have good strength and character, but without the help of their families, it is difficult for them to become Hokage.

The families of the latter two can be a helper, and their own strength is also very strong.

However, it is impossible for Senju Tobirama to let someone from the Uchiha clan become Hokage, even if this person is a disciple he likes.

Because the people in this family are too emotional. To put it more clearly, the people in their clan are all potential mental patients, and they may develop a disease at any time.

It is already troublesome for ordinary people to have mental illness, not to mention that the members of the Uchiha clan are very strong.

As long as they develop a disease, it will be even more troublesome.

Akimichi Tofu is not bad, but the characteristics of their family are not suitable for being Hokage.

After choosing and choosing, only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are left.

First, the two of them are strong and are the best of this generation.

Second, their own families are also relatively good families in Konoha, which can give them some help.

In addition, he, as a teacher, is backing them up, as long as they can become Hokage, they should be able to sit firmly.

And among these two people, he is more optimistic about Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Therefore, he would not miss any opportunity to train the other party.

Of course, the matter has not been completely decided. After all, there are still several years to go. Sarutobi Hiruzen is only temporarily ahead of Shimura Danzo.

[. There are not many things in the Five Kage Talks. To put it simply, Hashirama wants to give the other four countries the tailed beasts for free, and Tobirama said that he can't give them for free and must exchange them for money. ]

[After hearing that the Kazekage did not want the tailed beasts, but wanted other countries to cede land, the other three Kages expressed their displeasure. ]

[When they were about to fight, Hashirama, relying on his strong affinity, banged his head on the table several times, implying that everyone present was the most stubborn. If you don't sign a peace agreement, I will smash your little heads. ]

[So, for the first time in this land, comprehensive peace was achieved. ]

"Teacher, did the first generation rely on his strong affinity or his own strength to make the other four countries sign a peace agreement? Why don't I understand it?"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's question, the corners of Tobirama's mouth twitched again.

He did not explain directly to the monkey, but prompted: "If the first generation does not have strong strength, do you think they can listen to us?"

"Is that so? It seems that in this ninja world, strength is still the key."

In order not to bring bad things to his elder brother, Tobirama quickly added: "You can't say that. If the first generation does not have affinity, wouldn't it be the same as Uchiha Madara?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it carefully and felt that it was right.

It is because they know that the first generation is different from Uchiha Madara that the villagers of Konoha will choose the first generation instead of Madara.

"Let me remind you that you can't learn the way the first generation does things, because you don't have the invincible strength of the first generation. Everything has two sides. You need to make your own decision whether to be tough or to compromise."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and stopped asking questions.

[.Several years later, Madara suddenly came back and attacked Konoha. In order to protect the village and guard the residents, Hashirama stepped forward and fought fiercely with Madara. 】

【Madara used the powerful power of the Sharingan to manipulate the Nine-Tails to fight Hashirama. 】

【And our brother Hashirama fought with the Wood Release Ninjutsu in Sage Mode. 】

【We saw Hashirama perform Wood Release: True Thousand Hands, and knocked off half of the Nine-Tails' Susanoo with a move of Buddha Hammer, then picked up the Nine-Tails like a chicken, and then patted the head and coaxed the Nine-Tails to sleep. 】

【This battle lasted for three days and three nights. In the end, Hashirama deceived Uchiha Madara with a Wood Release clone, and killed Madara with a backstab, becoming the defender of Konoha's peace. 】

Back then, when Uchiha Madara returned to Konoha and fought against Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi knew it.

But they did not watch, and could only glimpse the intensity of the battle from the battlefield afterwards.

Now, the light screen shows all the wonderful scenes of this battle.

The two looked at Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama fighting on the light screen, and they were fascinated.

Senju Tobirama was better. He had always been confident in his elder brother's strength and had seen his heroic appearance on the battlefield.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was different. He had never seen the first generation fighting with all his strength.

He never thought that the battle between ninjas could be so fierce.

Can the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails, be controlled just by saying it?

Such a big wooden man, and a huge Buddha statue with a thousand hands, can this really be summoned by humans?

Can Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama really be called ninjas?

Shouldn't they be called gods?

Thinking that Senju Hashirama had a younger brother, he quickly looked at his teacher.

"Teacher, you."

"No, I'm not as strong as my elder brother."

Obviously, Tobirama knew what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, and shook his head repeatedly to deny it.

"Tsk, they are obviously two brothers, why is there such a big gap in strength?"

"You brat, dare to make fun of me?"

Tobirama gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a knife to let him know that your teacher will always be your teacher.

"It hurts!"

Holding his head, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tobirama with a little dissatisfaction.

He just told the truth.

Is it wrong to tell the truth now?

At this time, the atmosphere in the office was pretty good.

He did not act as if he was facing a great enemy because of the appearance of the light curtain.

Until Lin Tian's voice came from the light curtain again.

[. When Hashirama was alive, he was worthy of the title of Ninja God. ]

[In fact, the upper limit of Hashirama's strength has always been described very vaguely. ]

[Including the Fourth War, Uchiha Madara was also glad that Hashirama and Tobirama were in the Impure World State. ]

Senju Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen: ? ? ?

"Si Zhan? Teacher, is that the Si Zhan I'm thinking of?"

"If the person who said this is not deliberately misleading, then it should be the Si Zhan you're thinking of."
