Chapter 4

Hashirama does not like fighting. He hopes that the Konoha he governs will never encounter war and every child born in this village can live peacefully. Although he is a peace-loving person he does not reject the use of force. He knows that if the village is to be truly peaceful a strong defense force is needed. Therefore the training of Shinobis cannot be stopped.

Konoha is not a single clan in the past but a Shinobi alliance formed by multiple different clans. Naturally the way of fighting will also change accordingly. In the meantime it depends on the experimental results in the Academy to formulate the war formation that Shinobi Village should adopt the future.

Others don't know yet, but Hashirama has already discussed with Tobirama that this Academy will be changed in the future not only the heirs of the Shinobi clan but also other clan members will be sent to this Academy for training and all Shinobis must be managed by the the village in a unified way. This is a necessary process to realize the ideal Konoha.

But Hashirama and Tobirama also know that this is not an easy task. They can't do it all at once. In fact if Tobirama was not the teacher of the Academy other clan probably wont sent their heir to the Academy. In choosing outstanding students as disciples the Clan will not necessarily agree to this. After all the heir should be taught by the Clan themself. Is it necessary to go to the Academy? The teacher of the Academy can still be comparable to the Clan themself. Only two people, Hashirama and Tobirama as the heads of the Academy made the Clans willing to send their heirs to study. On the one hand they can learn more from them and on the other hand as long as they become one of their disciple then the heir of the clan will have more power to speak in Konoha Village and the Clan will certainly not let go of this opportunity.

Even though he had a hunch in his heart but seeing the Shinobi who had promised so much that they was willing to send their heir, Hashirama was still very frustrated. He was comforted by his brother and said that this was the first step to achieve his ideals. One step then the next road can continue. Sooner or later the ideal Shinobi village will really appear.

Hashirama said that he believes that the future Shinobi pattern will further promote this process and other Shinobi villages have gradually gained a foothold and the situation where the five major countries stand on top of each other has initially taken shape. In order to ensure the peace of the country the method of teaching Shinobis by the Shinobi clan may have fallen behind and education led by the Shinobi village can better guarantee the strength of the village.

These are only known by the Senju Brothers. They will not easily talk about these ideas. If they are resisted by the Clans, their ideals will only become farther and farther away. Therefore they must be careful to implement these policies. Unconsciously they will slowly weaken Clan control over their Shinobis so that those of the Shinobi will establish their identity with Konoha instead. There are no Shinobi Village who belong to a single clan.

This is not just the other Shinobi clan even the Senju clan where Hashirama and Tobirama are located must obey this rule. In order to achieve their own goals they also need to find people who can agree with their own ideas. Tobirama must be placed in the Academy. The choice of their own disciples is also out of this consideration. In the world of Shinobi disciples are the heirs of the master ideals, jutsu, will etc. all of it will all be inherited by their disciples.

Although Konoha Academy has not been officially opened yet there is already a candidate in Hashirama's mind. He silently glances at Kazemori Masaki. With Kazemori Masaki's ability to perceive natural forces his future strength can surely become a Hokage. No one knows the power of the Sage mode better than the Hokage. Once the power of the Sage mode is truly mastered, it will be a clear distance from ordinary people.

It's just that he have to examine Kazemori Masaki's thoughts whether it's possible to put the village's interests ahead of his clan instead of focusing on his own clan's interests. If he can do that then Kazemori Masaki will have the qualifications to inherit this Shinobi village!

Looking at Kazemori Masaki the Hokage smiled and said: "Haha don't think about it, let me first teach you how to control the forces of nature it is impossible for me to stay here forever."

Kazemori Masaki came back to his senses and realized that his top priority was to learn to control the natural force that was constantly absorbed to his body with only briefly chat the natural force in his body has already accumulated a lot. So he condensed his mind and began to listen carefully to the Hokage's teachings.

Rimi didn't know what Hashirama was talking about with Kazemori Masaki. She knew that there were some things she couldn't know. Although the Hokage didn't say clearly Rimi naturally understood the meaning, so she was walked away from the house to make sure she will not hear the conversation between the two.

She was sitting on a rock at the door with her cheeks in her hands and looking up at the sky. She looked at the house from time to time and when she saw no one came out she continued to wait. She was so bored that she was about to doze off when she heard the sound of opening the door.

Rimi immediately woke up and turned to see Hashirama and Kazemori Masaki coming out she quickly got up and ran over and hurriedly asked "Hashirama-sama how is the situation with Masaki?"

"Huh?" Hashirama was stunned when he heard the words and looked at Kazemori Masaki next to him and smiled at Rimi: "He is fine and this situation will not happen again in the future."

Rimi breathed a sigh of relief with a smile on his face and said to Kazemori Masaki: "That's great Masaki."

Kazemori Masaki nodded with a faint smile and bowed to Senju Hashirama and said "Thank you so much Hashirama-sama."

"No it's up to you I just provided some help." The Hokage smiled and there was a hint of surprise in the eyes of Kazemori Masaki. This kid learned too quickly.

Although Hashirama himself has a deep understanding of the Sage mode part of his experience in learning the Sage mode is similar to Kazemori Masaki. His experience is indeed rich but he did not expect Kazemori Masaki to understand more than he thought. To be great basically just listen to it try a few times and successfully learn to control the forces of nature.

This made the Hokage feel a bit at a loss. When did the natural forces be so well controlled? Even if it was him it was almost life-threatening when he was learning the Sage Mode. But looking at Kazemori Masaki who has successfully learned to control natural forces he can only admit that Kazemori Masaki seems to be very talented in controling natural forces.

　　 Hashirama said: "Masaki you can take care of your body. The injuries have not completely healed. Don't rush to the Academy."

　　 "Yes Lord Hokage." Kazemori Masaki replied.

"Then I'll go first." said the Hokage just walking a few steps as if thinking of something said to the two of them: "I said before you guys think about it, your age is about to get married, don't continue to drag."

"Well..." Although Rimi was willing but the reservedness of being a girl prevented her from actively expressing it and Masaki hadn't agreed yet. At this time Kazemori Masaki next to him said "Okay. "

　　 Rimi looked at Kazemori Masaki in surprise and said clearly that he would get stronger before getting married. Why did he suddenly agree now?

Hashirama didn't care and smiled: "Okay then I will prepare for the marriage of the two of you and set a good day haha." Both Rimi and Masaki have no parents so naturally Hashirama will plan the marriage. No matter how you say it he is the elders of Rimi.

　　 After Hokage leaving, Rimi bit her lip lightly and said to Kazemori Masaki: "Why did you agree to marry me? Didn't you say you want to become a Shinobi before you get married?"

　　 "You don't want to?" Kazemori Masaki asked.

　　 "Of course not!" Rimi responded anxiously and felt that his performance was too eager turning his head away with blushing cheeks and said "it's just a little weird."

"This incident sounded a wake-up call for me. I almost left this world." Kazemori Masahui said "I don't think this can go on. If I can't even satisfy my wishes before I die that's too much Shame on it."

　　 "What a bad things to say!" Rimi glared at Kazemori Masaki took Kazemori Masaki's hand and solemnly said: "You can't die you have to revive your Clan."

　　 "I know, I definitely don't want to die" Kazemori Masaki smiled "I don't want to leave you alone in this world."

　　 Rimi looked at Kazemori Masaki was silent for a while and said "Masaki you seem to be different from before."

　　 "After experiencing this kind of thing of course I will change." Kazemori Masaki said. Although he still can't tell whether he is "Kazemori Masaki" or that person but he knows that he has indeed changed. Even if there is no confirmation he guesses that his spirit has undergone some unique changes. The reason for absorbing natural forces may come from this. When learning to control natural forces he clearly feels that he is easier to meditate and he perceives the flow in Natural forces from outside.

Kazemori Masaki also believes that the manga he saw indicates the future of this world. Although the manga does not have a definite time, he sure that soon the patriarch of the Uchiha clan Madara will leave Konoha. And a few years later he will attack Konoha with the Nine Tails and Hashirama will die shortly after the battle in the Valley of the End. Starting with the death of Hashirama what will come is to leave behind the five great nations on turmoil. The First War of the Shinobi World with a deep pain will happen.

Thinking of the wars and conspiracies in the future Kazemori Masaki made up his mind that he must become stronger so that he can survive the tragic First Shinobi War and then he will also get rid of everyone that would harm Konoha. All the factors that will harm Konoha and the entire Shinobi World will be eliminated one by one. For this he must obtain power so that he can have enough strength to deal with those enemies.

And Konoha Academy is an opportunity. Kazemori thought to himself that he would try to become a disciple of Senju Hashirama learn advanced Ninjutsu from him and his own performance would surpass Sarutobi Hiruzen make Hashirama chose him as the heir and became the third generation of Hokage in Konoha.
