Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Ultimately, the police department's main role is deterrence. If people have fear, they will definitely think twice before doing bad things.

Time flies, and an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.

A knock sounded on the door, and Jiri in the office said softly, "Master, Lord Tobirama, I'm coming in."

Zhili pushed open the office door with one hand, holding a delicate bag in the other.

It should be made of some kind of silk.

After bowing to the two adults, Chiri placed the bag in his hand on Hashirama's desk.

"Lord Tobirama, this is the cloak you will be wearing later. I have been keeping it safe."

Tobirama smiled, then patted Jiri's head: "Well done, Jiri."

Tobirama didn't care about anything and simply took the cloak out of the bag and put it on.

The white cloak embroidered with flame-red patterns, and the five large characters "Second Hokage" on his back, made Tobirama's majesty rise dramatically.

Coupled with Tobirama's slightly cold expression, Torifu and the others couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Lord Tobirama is so imposing!"

"I can't believe it," said Zhili, full of admiration.

Hashirama was consumed by jealousy when he saw that the disciple he had raised was so enamored with his younger brother.

But there was nothing they could do.

One is his younger brother, and the other is his apprentice, a female apprentice at that. Neither of them can be hit or scolded.

I guess I'll just have to accept this sourness.

However, seeing his younger brother wearing the Hokage's cloak filled Hashirama with immense emotion.

He never expected that Konoha Village would welcome its second Hokage so quickly; he still felt that Konoha Village had just been built.

If only Madara hadn't gone astray, he would have been a part of the current success.

But since that person is gone, there's no need for further lamentation.

Hashirama wasn't a sentimental person, and he quickly forgot about it.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others also arrived. Hiruzen now walks with his head held high and his back as straight as a bamboo pole.

After all, he was about to become the Hokage's apprentice, a title he had longed for.

"Lord Hashirama, Master, we've arrived." Hiruzen knocked on the door and then pushed it open to come in.

Danzo, Koharu, En, and Akimichi Tori followed him into the office.

Fortunately, the office space is large enough, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to accommodate all these people.

After exchanging glances with Toru, Kagami, and Jiri, the group quickly returned to their normal expressions.

Tobirama looked at Hiruzen: "How's the maintenance of order going?"

Hiruzen earnestly reported the situation to Hashirama and Tobirama: "The order outside has been restored. There are ninjas guarding the area at regular intervals to prevent stampedes or theft."

Tobirama nodded, somewhat satisfied with Hiruzen's report. He had always been very strict with his students, demanding that they excel in everything they did.

That's why Hiruzen and the others possessed such strength, making them top-tier ninjas even within the entire village.

According to the ninja physiques he just sketched out, Hiruzen and the others should all be at the level of Jonin or elite Jonin.

"Very good, keep an eye on it."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Hiruzen left the office with his teammates.

All six of them have now graduated and are working for Tobirama.

Hiruzen and others, including Kagami, were all bodyguards of the Second Hokage, Tobirama.

However, Tobirama intentionally had Kagami help him with some government affairs to cultivate his abilities.

This way, when the future Mirror becomes the head of the family, he will be able to handle things more easily.

About four hours later, it was almost time for the enthronement ceremony.

Hashirama had already put on the Hokage robe two hours earlier, but Torifu felt that the robe was too bulky.

It doesn't suit the image of the God of Ninjas. Wearing it makes him look more like a Sand Ninja. But since this should be the last time I see my master wearing this outfit, it doesn't really matter.

Tobirama's cloak is much more stylish than his robe; it looks simpler and more capable, which suits Tobirama's decisive and efficient nature.

"Well, it's time to get going."

After Hashirama finished speaking, he got up from the Hokage's seat, gently stroked the desk, smiled, and left the office, heading towards the rooftop.

The villagers were initially quite calm, chatting with their friends, and maintaining order wasn't difficult.

But when Hashirama and Tobirama appeared on the rooftop, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was in an uproar!

Everyone was shouting "Lord Hashirama!" and "Lord Tobirama!" loudly, their emotions running high!

Even the most indifferent person would be ignited by the villagers' passion at this moment!

Everyone surged toward the Hokage Building. The ninjas tried to stop them, but how could a few people possibly contend with a sea of ​​people?

All the ninjas who tried to stop them were swept along by the villagers and led to the front of the building.

But it was far from over. When the villagers who were still at home heard the shouts outside, they knew that the ceremony was about to begin, and they all came out of their homes and went out into the street.

The number of people more than doubled.

Just when the ninjas were powerless to stop it, Hashirama spoke up: "Fellow villagers, just stay where you are."

“I understand how you feel, but please look at our fellow countrymen around us. Some of them have been squeezed so tightly by you that they are unrecognizable.”

Once Hashirama spoke, the order was far better than when ninjas were used to manage things; not a single villager continued to crowd towards the building.

Hashirama looked at Tokifuru and nodded to him.

Qu Feng understood immediately, and then quickly formed hand seals: "Crystal Release - Giant Crystal Mirror!"

In an instant, many huge pale pink crystal mirrors appeared above the streets of Konoha.

Then a miniature mirror appeared in front of Hashirama.

Then the villagers discovered that they could see Lord Hashirama through the mirror.

Since that's the case, there's even less reason for people to continue pushing, and some people even stepped back a few meters.

In this way, the whole situation can be considered under control.

It has to be said that this live broadcast method is very useful, as Konoha Village is too big and has too many people.

Everyone wanted to witness the moment of the handover between the old and new Hokage, so naturally they all tried their best to squeeze in.

Chapter 126 The Second Hokage

It has to be said that this live broadcast method is very useful, as Konoha Village is too big and has too many people.

Everyone wanted to witness the moment of the handover between the old and new Hokage, so naturally they all tried their best to squeeze in.

After calming the villagers down, Hashirama stood on the rooftop and spoke with a smile.

"It has been fourteen years since the village was officially established."

“Among you, there are those who have followed me since the village was first established, and there are those who came later because of my reputation.”

Upon hearing this, the villagers looked at each other, all filled with genuine joy.

Originally, they might have been a family or clan unit, but they came together because of Konoha Village.

No matter where I go, I can proudly say, "I am from Konoha Village."

This is all because of the confidence that the Hokage gave them.

From the moment they joined Konoha, they truly stood tall and acted with dignity.

You don't have to be oppressed or have to be subservient to others.

"In order to give you a better life, and for the peace I have always longed for, I have not dared to slack off for the past fourteen years."

"Finally, two years ago, the five great ninja villages signed a peace treaty, and the ninja world finally ushered in peace."

Hashirama's words were very moving, and many of his longtime followers shed tears.

The newly joined villagers are not quite aware of the situation, but they know all too well what Lord Hashirama has done for Konoha.

This hard-won peace is the result of Lord Hashirama's efforts over more than a decade.

"As far back as I can remember, the war between ninjas has never stopped. My brother, father, and mother all died in the war."

"My compatriots are dying one by one before my eyes, which makes me yearn for the arrival of peace even more."

Hashirama's emotions were also somewhat fluctuating at this moment, which was understandable.

"But peace is not easily obtained, so I have fought for it for half my life, and now my granddaughter is three years old."

"Peace has been restored to the ninja world, and I'd like to take a short break. I hope you won't mind."

"Although I have decided to resign from the position of Hokage, I have long since become one with the village, and I will always protect everyone!"

After Hashirama finished speaking, he bowed to the villagers, who were already in tears.

They owe their current lives to Lord Hashirama, so how could they blame him?

It was unclear whose child started it, but a loud, childish shout rang out: "Lord Hashirama, please rest well. The future of the village rests on our shoulders!"

Immediately, all the young people joined in the shouting.

Hashirama thought he could control his emotions, but when he saw that countless new buds had sprouted on the towering tree, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"That's right! Children! The future of Konoha belongs to you! But you are still too young and inexperienced. For now, grow up under the protection of us old folks."

The entire Hidden Leaf Village suddenly became incredibly 'strange': some people were crying, some were smiling, and some were shouting loudly.

But everyone is expressing their respect for Hashirama in their own way.

After adjusting himself, Zhu Jian continued speaking, and the villagers listened attentively.

"Although I have resigned from the position of Hokage, the Will of Fire will be passed down from generation to generation. Today is not only the day I resign from the position of Hokage, but also the day the new Hokage takes office."
