Hokage: Unable to persuade Madara, I chose to build my own ninja village.

Chapter 81. Tobirama Senju, the Ninth Prince of Konoha, is caught in a dilemma. (Please vote with monthly tickets!!)

7 PM.

Uzumaki Tsubaki Shizuku is preparing dinner at Uchiha Makoto's villa.

This was the only meal Makoto Uchiha could have at home that day, so Shizuku Uzumaki took extra care of dinner, even treating it as seriously as a battle.

Soon.

The four dishes and one soup were ready.

Just as she finished cooking and the wok hei (the smoky aroma from a hot wok) was in full bloom, Uchiha Makoto opened the door to his home. Uzumaki Tsubaki Shizuku, born into a noble family with a thousand-year-old bloodline, naturally knew the importance of wok hei to a meal, so every second was within her calculations.

Welcome home, Anada!

"Do you want to eat first, or take a shower first, or do you want to enjoy me first!"

A classic opening statement.

Uzumaki Tsubaki said it with some embarrassment, but she had heard that such a welcoming ceremony could make Uchiha Makoto...

"Um."

When Makoto Uchiha saw the food on the table, he also saw the beautiful and charming Shizuku Uzumaki. She had shed her girlish naiveté, and her hair was styled in an extremely dangerous way, making her even more charming.

so.

Uchiha Makoto quickly put his work-related frustrations behind him and began to focus on enjoying the "delicious food" in front of him.

at the same time.

Konoha Village.

"Mito, did you not have time to make dinner again today? She hasn't come home yet."

Hashirama Senju seemed to have a change of heart. He realized that he and Madara Uchiha had been away for two months without returning home, so he made sure to go home for dinner on time for four or five consecutive days, hoping to make up for it by going home on time for Mito Uzumaki.

However, the reality has changed.

Unlike usual, Mito Uzumaki didn't stay at home, preparing meals and waiting for her to come home for dinner. Instead, she was out early and back late. She not only sent out clones to keep busy with the Women Ninja Mutual Aid Association, but also called on the female ninjas of Konoha to rediscover the ninja way and become ninjas again.

Her true form took the lead and completed two B-level missions in just a few days.

That's incredibly efficient!

Even the most experienced male Jonin of Konoha Village could not complete two B-rank missions in such a short period of time.

"Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go to Madara's place for another meal."

Hashirama Senju sighed slightly. He felt that Mito seemed to have changed a lot, but he also sensed that she seemed to be completely enjoying herself, so he didn't worry too much. Madara, you've come looking for me again!

Just as Hashirama Senju stepped out of his house, intending to go to the Uchiha clan's territory to ask Madara Uchiha for a meal, a Konoha ANBU ninja appeared in front of him.

"Lord Hokage, please come to the Hokage Building immediately. Lord Tobirama has important matters to discuss with you right now."

Hashirama Senju: "Is it really that important?"

The ANBU ninjas were speechless. As the ANBU squad leader personally promoted by Tobirama Senju, they had never seen Hashirama Senju do any work in the Hokage's office. It was always Tobirama-sama sitting in the Hokage's seat doing all the work.

It's rare for Tobirama to take the initiative to seek out the Hokage, so this must be something important concerning the future of the village. Yet the Hokage still asks, "Is it really that important?" Just what kind of things are considered important in the Hokage's mind?

Despite his inner turmoil, the ANBU ninja respectfully repeated, "This is extremely important. You are required to go to the Hokage Building alone immediately!"

The ANBU ninja emphasized "one person," and although Hashirama Senju probably didn't notice this, it was indeed important. This ANBU ninja appeared in the Senju clan's territory for a reason: to avoid a certain person. That's right, it was the inherently evil Madara Uchiha!

"I see."

Hashirama Senju nodded, temporarily abandoning his idea of ​​having dinner with Madara Uchiha, and followed the ANBU ninja to the Hokage Building.

Arrive at the Hokage's office.

The ANBU ninja left immediately, and Hashirama Senju went inside alone.

"Tobirama, what important matter could have made you call me here?"

"Mito, you're here too!"

When Hashirama Senju entered the room, he found that not only Tobirama Senju was there, but Mito Uzumaki was also in the room. This was an extremely rare occurrence. The probability of Mito Uzumaki, Hashirama Senju, and Tobirama Senju being in the Hokage's office together was almost as high as the probability of Madara Uchiha and Tobirama Senju being in the same office.

"I've recently been trying to help Tobirama with the village's daily affairs."

Mito Uzumaki spoke up first.

Her eyes held a hint of anticipation; she hoped Hashirama Senju would say something, even if it meant he flew into a rage and berated her for neglecting her duties, for being unhelpful, or for no longer caring about her.

But

"Oh, that's wonderful!"

"Tobirama is very busy with work every day. If Mito were there to help him, he could have a much easier time, and then I could work with him more at ease."

"Alright, alright, big brother, stop talking."

Tobirama Senju quickly interrupted Hashirama Senju, fearing that he would reveal the name of the inherently evil Madara Uchiha.

Even as his younger brother, he was speechless.

Why are you still "spotted" at this point?

Brother, are you really that addicted to freckles?

And, big brother!

Didn't you notice?

Your sister-in-law is already angry with you!

She doesn't even cook for me anymore, so I don't even have a chance to mooch a meal anymore. I have to figure out how to cook for myself every day!

Do I, as the younger brother, really have to spell things out clearly?

What a sin!

However, Mito Uzumaki is actively involved in the management of Konoha Village's affairs, and Tobirama Senju trusts his sister-in-law and is willing to entrust her with some of the village's affairs. With Mito Uzumaki's help, Tobirama Senju's workload has indeed been reduced to some extent. It can be said that he is experiencing both pain and joy.

Overwhelmed with mixed feelings, Tobirama Senju glanced at Mito Uzumaki's expression out of the corner of his eye and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no change in her expression.

My sister-in-law is as generous as ever!

"Let's get down to business."

Mito Uzumaki gave a slight snort, not bothering to argue further; she was used to it.

Hashirama Senju scratched his head. He noticed that something was off about the atmosphere in the room, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He just felt that Mito's attitude towards him seemed much colder.

"A team of ninjas from Konoha and Akatsuki went out of the village on a mission and clashed with Kumogakure in the Land of Rice Fields and the Land of Lightning. Konoha lost one Chunin, Akatsuki lost two Chunin, and the losses of Kumogakure are still unknown."

"Brother, this matter is of utmost importance."

"This involves not only Akatsuki Village, but also Kumogakure Village in the Land of Lightning. As the Hokage of Konoha, you must make your statement at this time."

What's your opinion?

Although Tobirama Senju was the Shadow Hokage and the 9,000-year-old elder of Konoha, he still cleverly sought Hashirama Senju's opinion on such a sensitive issue.

I'm exhausted.

My supervisor called me to the lab at 1:30 this afternoon, and I was busy until 6:00. Then I immediately rode my electric scooter back to my dorm and started writing, which I've been doing ever since.

So tired, so tired

I was originally planning to write 4,000 words today.

But I did it.

Still 6k today.
