Chapter 35

World of the First Hokage, Senju Clan Land, Konoha:

As Hashirama slowly opened his eyes, he took in the familiar surroundings before him, snapping back to reality.

"Huh~ I didn't expect the world rankings to bring such a big surprise! It was unexpected," Hashirama exclaimed, reminiscing about everything that happened in the Hokage chat group.

Just then, the familiar system prompt resounded in his mind, grabbing Hashirama's attention once again.

"Ding! Rewards have been issued! Please pay attention and Receive them," the prompt announced.

Hearing the voice, Hashirama's eyes sparkled with excitement. "It's here!" he exclaimed, hastily choosing to accept the rewards.

He knew that this was something that could heal his body. If his body could recover, he would pass on Konoha to Tobirama and focus on strengthening the village's power.

The thought of securing the top position in the next meeting filled Hashirama with determination.

The first-place reward was something even Hashirama, known as the God of the Ninja World, would envy. It was the first reward offered on the world leaderboard, with the promise of even better rewards in the future. Strong nations could even obtain rewards from the second and third-tier worlds. Plus if he got the Sharigan what face will Madara and Tobirama make? Hahaha.

With a burst of colourful light, an unremarkable jar appeared in front of Hashirama. It was about the size of a human head. Curiosity piqued, Hashirama eagerly opened the lid.

Inside the jar, he found a plethora of jellybeans. As he picked one up, he couldn't help but wonder how such small beans could have such miraculous effects. However, since it was a reward from the chat group, he trusted that they were genuine.

Without hesitation, Hashirama threw one of the beans into his mouth, savouring the moment.

"Ka~" The Senzu bean instantly unleashed a surge of tremendous vitality throughout Hashirama's body.

"Um?! What a terrifying life force!" Hashirama exclaimed, wide-eyed and stunned by the sudden surge of vitality.

In an instant, the Senzu bean healed the hidden illnesses, injuries, and physical deficits that plagued Hashirama. His body was restored to its full strength, and he could feel a powerful aura emanating from within him.

The sudden and overwhelming aura alerted the ninjas patrolling the Senju clan, who quickly gathered upon sensing the terrifying presence.

"Enemy attack? Who dares to attack our Senju clan? It seems to be the patriarch's mansion! Quick, notify Tobirama-sama immediately!" the ninjas exclaimed, prepared to defend their clan.

Before they could take action, Senju Tobirama appeared in a flash of blue light, using the Flying Thunder God technique to reach Hashirama's side.

"Damn it, that place is Big Brother's room! Follow up as soon as possible! Don't let any enemies escape!" Tobirama commanded his forces solely on protecting his brother.

Witnessing the alarming aura in Hashirama's courtyard, Tobirama was initially taken aback. However, his worries vanished as he realized that the source of the aura was his elder brother, Hashirama.

"Brother!!" Tobirama burst into the room, relieved to see Hashirama fully restored. His guess had been correct—his elder brother's body had indeed recovered.

Startled by Tobirama's sudden entrance, Hashirama belatedly realized that his exuberance had caused quite a commotion.

"Hahaha, Your health has recovered! I knew you'd be fine, brother, hahaha!" Tobirama exclaimed with joy, genuinely happy about Hashirama's recovery.

While Tobirama celebrated the restoration of Hashirama's body, the latter began contemplating the future events in the chat group. Though his memories were hazy, Hashirama vaguely recalled that the First Ninja World War had erupted after his death, with other major countries launching an invasion of Konoha.

With this in mind, a brilliant idea struck Hashirama: "Tobirama, don't tell anyone about my recovery today. I have a plan!"

Perplexed by his elder brother's newfound strategizing abilities, Tobirama couldn't help but feel surprised. When did Hashirama become so adept at coming up with plans? Nevertheless, Tobirama patiently listened as Hashirama excitedly described his ideas.

"Tobirama, after you leave my room today, officially take over as the Second Hokage and announce my death!"

"No!" Tobirama promptly refused, unwilling to go along with the plan.

However, this time, there was no room for Tobirama to refuse. Hashirama was determined to enhance Konoha's power, and now that he was in good health, he wanted to prepare for the next Hokage chat meeting and secure a position in the top three.

"Recently, the neighbouring countries on the Land of Fire's border have become active upon hearing news of my serious injury. Tobirama, you should understand. I've recovered now, and we can seize this opportunity to teach those ninja villages the true meaning of peace!" Hashirama explained, emphasizing the importance of their actions.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Tobirama reluctantly agreed, aligning himself with Hashirama's intentions. After a few more words of instruction, Tobirama swiftly left Hashirama's room to make the necessary preparations for the upcoming war.

Left alone, Hashirama noticed the can filled with Senju beans still on the table. He carefully stored it close to his body using a scroll.

Meanwhile, with Tobirama's departure, Mito, with tears streaming down her face, hurriedly arrived in Hashirama's yard. She was in for a surprise. Ehehehe.

You do know there is a reason why Uzumaki marry in the Senju family. Look at Minato what do you think was the reason for him being whipped? Nine tail chakra, Uzumaki stamina and adamantine chains. Kukuku.

Simultaneously, Tobirama's appointment as the Second Hokage was swiftly announced.

This turn of events alerted the entire Konoha community, indicating that something significant had occurred. The information quickly spread back to various villages through their respective spies, conveying a single message: "Confirmed, Senju Hashirama's time is limited!"
