Chapter 30 Pitiful Minato

"The World of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama"

The evaluation of national power is now complete!

[National Strength Evaluation: 410 points]

Soon, the national strength evaluation scores of the First Hokage were displayed in front of everyone.

When they saw the score reach as high as 410 points, silence fell over the group.

Ryan, in particular, was taken aback. In the world of the First Hokage, Konoha had only been just established and was far from perfect. The foundation of Konoha had been perfected by the Second Hokage, but the First Hokage received a rating of 410 points from the chat group.

Even the First Hokage himself was surprised. "Ahahahaha! Is it really that high?"

He couldn't believe that his own world had achieved such a high score.

It was clear that in the world of the First Hokage, his importance to Konoha was immense. Without him, Konoha in this world would likely score around 200 points at best.

On the other hand, the surprising revelation was about the world of the Second Hokage, Tobirama. After the First Hokage's death, he managed to score 452 points for Konoha's development. It was a testament to the Second Hokage's immense power.

"Not bad!" Hashirama couldn't help but think about securing the number one position.

Tobirama shared the same ambition and they exchanged a determined look.

In an instant, a fierce flame of rivalry sparked in their eyes.

"Hmph! Even if you're the older brother, I won't back down!"

"Ah, Tobirama, don't forget, in my world, there's also you."

At that moment, the Second Hokage, Tobirama, froze on the spot. He had been directly defeated by the First Hokage.

Hashirama chuckled triumphantly as he looked at the silenced Tobirama.

<A big brother who has two identical brothers to bully and spoil. What a life! Tough love rocks!>

Meanwhile, Ryan, the leader of the group, was currently worried.

He had been relying on his foresight to continuously enhance Konoha's strength. But now, with the addition of the First Hokage and Second Hokage, two formidable individuals were fiercely competing with him.

This made Ryan a little tense. Although he didn't know what rewards the chat group would offer, he knew that being ranked first was a must. As the group leader, not achieving the top spot would be unacceptable.

The light curtain in front of everyone continued to change.

[The Fourth Place Selection...]

[Fourth Place: Fifth Hokage Tsunade's World!]

"Huh?"

"It's my world after all."

Tsunade was also surprised to see that her world had claimed fourth place. She had expected to rank lower.

However, as the fourth place was announced, everyone's attention immediately shifted to Namikaze Minato.

It became evident that only the world of Namikaze Minato remained at the bottom.

At that moment, everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for this kid.

Tobirama and Hashirama, in particular, stood by his side, patting Minato's shoulder.

"You've been through a lot, kid!"

Feeling the sympathetic gazes directed at him, Namikaze Minato felt a sense of shame.

As Hokage, he was truly powerless in his own village. As the episode progressed, everyone's focus returned to the light curtain.

Especially the First and Second Hokages, were eager to see how Tsunade would manage Konoha.

Hashirama couldn't help but think about his granddaughter's future.

"I must carefully observe her future."

[Konoha 64: The joint Chūnin exam held by Konoha Village has concluded; the Third Hokage was killed by the traitor Orochimaru; the village recommended you as the Fifth Hokage; looking at Konoha, which is full of holes, giving you a headache for a while.

[In the same year, you began directing the Konoha reconstruction work, but Uchiha Sasuke, the last survivor of the Uchiha clan, defected, so you had to order Shikamaru and others to form a temporary team to pursue him.]

[Due to Orochimaru's interference, the mission failed.]

In the 65th year of Konoha, under your leadership, Konoha Village started regaining its vitality, and everything was progressing well. Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage, followed Jiraiya to train.

In the 68th year of Konoha, Jiraiya, who had been helping Naruto train, returned with terrible news. A mysterious organization known as Akatsuki in the ninja world was capturing tailed beasts.

"They're capturing tailed beasts. It seems this organization is planning something extremely dangerous!"

As they looked at the description of the Akatsuki organization on the screen, everyone in the presence of the First Hokage exchanged serious glances.

<Hashirama used one wooden hand of The 1,000 Armed Kannon to subdue 9 tails and then defeated Madara. His cells were literally cheat codes for Obito and Orochimaru and Madara was only able to defeat them after biting his flesh in the valley of the end and having a Hashirama face on his chest. So defeat Hashirama you have to eat Hashirama.>

Their expressions turned grave.

Tsunade remembered mentioning that Konoha was now facing the threat of Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

"That's what you were worried about, Tsuna"

"What a dangerous group!"

Upon hearing the First Hokage's words, Tsunade also nodded with great seriousness.

However, with the existence of the chat group and the unlocking of the cross-border mutual assistance function, Tsunade felt reassured. She no longer had to worry.

That same year, the Akatsuki organization began its formal operations.

[Sunagakure sent a distress call; Kazekage Gaara was captured by the Akatsuki organization; realizing the severity of the situation, you hurriedly sent Kakashi and Might Guy's squads to provide support.]

[The mission ended with the Akatsuki capturing One-Tail, and Chiyo sacrificing herself to save Gaara's life.]

"Before you let your guard down, news of the death of Sarutobi Asuma arrived."

[To find out the Akatsuki organization's true purpose and gather accurate information, you had to send Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, to investigate in Land of Rain.]

[Soon after, news of Jiraiya's death came back to Konoha with a Toad summon.]

As the information about Tsunade's world appeared on the light curtain, a heavy silence fell over the group.

It was no wonder Tsunade had been so anxious earlier. Her comrades had died in battle, and even one of the Sannin, Jiraiya, had fallen.

Konoha, already full of holes, had been hit hard once again. Noticing Tsunade's despondency, Hashirama hurriedly approached her and gently touched her head.

"Don't worry, little Tsuna!"

"This time, Konoha won't encounter any problems!"Ryan nodded solemnly upon hearing Hashirama's words.

"That's right, Ryan!"

"The cross-border mutual assistance function has been unlocked!"

"If necessary, all of us will lend a helping hand!"

Hearing this, Tsunade quickly adjusted her state of mind and felt completely relieved.

But there was another unspoken sentence that Ryan didn't say:

Throughout the history of Hokage, there was no challenge that the Hokage of Konoha couldn't overcome.
