Ninja World Live Stream: Was the Sixth Hokage really that powerful?

"Wouldn't it be better for you to go to the smelting plant?" Iruka asked. "The wages there are higher, especially for a ninja like you who has five chakra natures and specializes in fire and wind. You'd probably start at a supervisor level with a good salary."

Konohamaru stuck out his tongue, looking disgusted, and said, "A smelter is no place for a human to live."

"It was unbearably hot, like being roasted by fire every day. I went there during my internship, and I swore I would never work in a smelter again!"

"Haha, don't say that, the smelter will protest later..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a comment appeared.

[Konohamaru-kun, the smelting plant is a great place to train young people, you can't enjoy yourself too much, you know...]

[Hahahaha]

[Wow, that was a quick response! I love this smelter.]

Chapter 51 Wood Release: The Technique of Building Houses!

Konohamaru hastily changed the subject, mentioning a hydroelectric plant, "I interned at a hydroelectric plant when I was in my third year of junior high."

"It seems pretty good. The pay and working environment are decent. Students in the Lightning Release and Water Release classes might want to consider it."

[Lightning Release: Chidori Discharge Technique!!]

[Upstairs, the Sixth Generation Raiden wasn't used like that.]

[But to be fair, hydroelectric plants are also very busy.]

[Which factory isn't tiring? But it's alright for a ninja, their stamina is far superior to that of ordinary people.]

[Although the working conditions at the smelter are so-so, the pay is a bit better than at the hydroelectric power plant!]

[It's just a little bit; the extra isn't even enough to buy water. The smelter is really hot!]

"Use Chidori to generate electricity?" Kakashi's lips twitched slightly beneath his mask, but that wasn't the point. The future ninja had actually taken a job at a hydroelectric power plant.

Imagine seven or eight ninjas standing in front of rows of machines, unleashing lightning... There's something just off about that image.

"What do you think? A future ninja?" the Second Hokage suddenly asked him, his serious expression in his pomegranate-red eyes instantly making him solemn.

"Well..."

He scratched his head, a slightly relieved smile appearing on his face. "To be honest, seeing future ninjas discussing what jobs they should do after graduating from school so carefree makes me very happy."

"That kind of future is probably what every ninja who has suffered from war wants to achieve."

From ancient times, ninjas have made a living by assassination and other clandestine missions. Slaughter and disorder, bloodshed and violence permeated the lives of every ninja.

They were frequently thrown into battle, watching their loved ones leave one by one, until only the empty names on the memorial stone offered any solace.

The only option to escape the identity of a ninja is death.

So he had read books about how ninjas should die a long time ago.

How can a ninja die in a way that is meaningful and without shame?

He used to think that he would fight until the very last second, until all his usefulness was gone, until he lost all his passion and energy, until he squeezed every last drop of his chakra dry.

Ninjas are beings who, from the moment they are born, live in constant companionship with darkness and death.

But now, he saw an unprecedented light, a light that belonged to the ninja.

After a long pause, he slowly lowered his head. "If only this era had come sooner."

Tobirama looked at him intently for a few seconds, then reached out and patted his shoulder. "It's not too late now. Aren't you here? You can bring about this kind of change to ninjas in the future, and you can do it now too."

He smiled trustingly. "If it's you, I think there's absolutely no problem. I believe in you."

Can you trust it?

Kakashi's eyes widened slightly, as if he were back in his childhood, being patted on the head by his father who told him to believe, and being patted on the shoulder by Minato-sensei with a gentle smile.

Since Minato's death, such scenes of being trusted by elders have become less frequent. The Third Hokage also trusts him, but it's ultimately different from what his father and Minato did.

Now, however, he feels similar emotions to his father and Minato-sensei from the second generation.

I feel... a little flattered.

After a moment of stunned silence, he shook his head with a wry smile. "I think it's more a matter of the times, or perhaps also a matter of opportunity."

The most important reason is probably the unprecedentedly harmonious relationship among the five major powers after World War IV, as well as their rapid economic and technological development. He was just an insignificant cog in that rapidly changing world.

"Don't underestimate yourself. You are the Sixth Hokage that I have high hopes for."

Seeing that many people in the comments section were concerned about employment issues, Iruka chimed in.

"Recently, many construction companies have signed employment agreements with Konoha Academy, and it's likely that a large number of Earth Release ninjas will be working for these companies this year."

Konohamaru nodded. "It's a pity that there's only Lord Yamato as a Wood Release ninja right now, and he's incredibly busy. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to keep up with all the construction and landscaping commissions."

[Garden architecture is really popular lately, it's a real shame Konoha has more Wood Release ninjas.]

[Yamato has been borrowed to work on landscaping in Sunagakure and doesn't have time to take on building tasks.]

[I really envy Yamato; the money he earns from just one ninjutsu is something I could never even dream of in my lifetime.]

[Housing prices are really high now, and the real estate industry is making a fortune.]

[It must be the Wood Release: Nine-Pillar Technique!! I saw it with my own eyes!]

[That's right! A single ninja technique built nine luxurious Japanese-style buildings, each one unique and beautiful! Much better than those overrated designers.]

Pure land.

When Hashirama Senju saw this, his expression froze for a second, then gradually became blank. Wood Release?

Is that what he thought?

Nine-Pillar Technique? It sounds pretty powerful. He scratched his head in bewilderment, then tried to build a house using his Wood Release technique.

Clap your hands.

Boom boom boom! !

Around him, a hundred or so houses instantly rose high into the air.

The style was similar to the mansion he lived in when he was in Konoha Village, but it looked very simple, without any decoration or furniture.

With hands clasped together, in an instant, the Japanese-style building transformed into a luxurious palace, similar to the attic where a daimyo lived, complete with stairs and furniture.

It looks almost like a fully furnished apartment; you can move in right away.

"Hmm, not bad, looks very simple." So building a house is such an easy thing.

(Uchiha Madara: Using Hashirama's Wood Release to build houses?)

Although the words were plain, the sarcasm was almost palpable.

(Hashirama Senju: I just built 130 buildings, Madara, do you want to come and see?)

(Uchiha Madara: Okay.)

Madara Uchiha, who had just been complaining, instantly abandoned his principles and prepared to visit the house built by Hashirama.

Just kidding, how could that Yamato who's into landscaping compare to the house Hashirama built with his Wood Release?

(Yamato: First Generation, how long did it take you to build all these houses?)

(Hashirama Senju: Just a few minutes?)

(Yamato: ...Okay QAQ, the limit I can build right now is four houses.)

(Uchiha Madara: Hashirama can build this many houses with just a clap of his hands. If he were serious, he could easily build a thousand. Back when Konoha was first established, he built many of the houses himself.)

Madara Uchiha was still there, praising the First Hokage to the skies.

Yamato couldn't listen anymore. He lay on the ground, black lines running down his head, feeling that his life was utterly dark.

He was hit hard.

The First Generation truly lives up to his name, sob sob sob.

They both use Wood Release, so why are they different?!

The first leader clapped his hands, and a hundred or so houses appeared.

He formed hand seals, gathered his strength for a moment, and then, having exhausted his chakra, finally managed to unleash four powerful attacks...

(Minato Namikaze: Wow! That sounds amazing! I want to see Hashirama-sama's house too!)

No one cared about Yamato's sorrow.

(Hashirama Senju: Hehe, I think so too. I heard that the real estate industry will be very profitable in the future. It's such a pity. If we could take on house-building tasks back then, we wouldn't have had our allowance docked by Tobirama!)

(Kushina Uzumaki: ......)

(Tobirama Senju: ...Brother, don't tell everyone everything!)

The First Boss, being deducted from his allowance by his own brother—is that something he can just casually talk about?

Where does this leave the First Chief's reputation?!

Seeing the enraged Second Hokage, Kakashi felt a bead of cold sweat trickle down his forehead. The First Hokage's true nature had long been revealed.

Only the second generation truly worried about him.

(Minato Namikaze: Life in the future looks wonderful. What kind of job could I do? Maybe deliver things? My Flying Thunder God Technique is pretty fast.)

(Tobirama Senju: However, that is my Flying Thunder God Technique!)

Regarding the ninja profession, please feel free to share any good ideas in the comments section. The author's ideas are limited, and I want to gather everyone's thoughts. I will write down any reasonable ones later.

Chapter 52 Become Hokage and make everyone raise dogs!

The uproar in the ninja world after the live broadcast ended has yet to subside.

Many people are discussing what career they can pursue in the future, and how they can make a living if they don't just take on missions as ninjas.

"Ugh~ This is so troublesome," Shikamaru said, holding his head in his hands and staring at the blue sky and white clouds with dead fish eyes. His mind was filled with images of the future, and he felt a little lost. Should he become the Hokage's assistant?

This job is way too troublesome.

Just by looking at the ninja discussions on the forum, you can tell just how busy you are.
