Chapter 229
Chapter 229
In the heart of Senju Hashirama, as long as they know they are wrong, they are still companions and family members. He doesn't even care whether others have really changed their ways.
"But, if they know they are wrong, they will change. After all, they are also part of the village, and they..."
Senju Hashirama looked at Beixuan in a daze. He wanted to refute, but what he saw and heard made him not know how to start. The meaning of the village is to protect children, but...
"The shadow of fire illuminates the village, and new leaves will sprout. But when the shadow of fire also begins to compete for the little nutrients, the new leaves turn into dead leaves, will they still sprout?
Grandpa, once people's greed is turned on, it can't be turned off. You have walked out of the Warring States Period and should have seen more people than me.
Will those who constantly take risks for the sake of profit change? If you want to make this big tree better, you must prune some rotten branches and remove the borers in the tree."
Beixuan stretched out his hand and handed the leaves in his hand, which were very familiar to Senju Hashirama, to Senju Hashirama.
"Banara..."
Hashirama Senju took the leaf with a hole in a daze, and his memories were unconsciously pulled back to the past, when he and Banara were standing in this position. Konoha had just been established, and many ninja clans had not joined.
And he was not yet Hokage at that time, and Banara was also looking forward to protecting the village after he became Hokage.
Yes, Konoha seems to have surpassed many things for me. Hashirama Senju's memories were pulled back to what he said before he killed Banara himself.
Putting the cart before the horse... Banara, I seem to be really wrong.
Konoha Village was established to protect brothers and children, but in my heart, it has become that brothers and children can be abandoned for the sake of the village.
But I am obviously for the village, but now I am entangled because of the people in the village. They are hurting the village, but now they question Beixuan because they are people in the village.
I am like this... I am really unqualified, Banara, if you become Hokage, Konoha will be better now.
Senju Hashirama loosened his fingers, and the breeze blew the leaf towards Konoha.
"Just do it, Beixuan. Haha ... "No need to say anything, Tobirama. I'm not as smart as you and always do things according to my own temperament. Now I think about it, I really caused you too much trouble, hahahaha.
Bei Xuan, just do it. As long as you understand the right thing, I will support you. As you said, where the leaves of Konoha fly, the fire will also be endless. The shadow of fire illuminates the village, and new leaves will sprout.
It would be great if you could be born a few decades earlier. If you were there, Madara and I would not have come to this point. But it's not too late. I will bring him back to Konoha and apologize to him!
I hope he can still forgive me, hahahahaha!"
Senju Hashirama looked at the whole Konoha Village and laughed, but there was bitterness in his laughter.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was welcoming the Konoha ninja back to the village, suddenly froze. Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on the first generation of stone statues on the Hokage Rock.
He would never mistake the familiar chakra that flashed just now, it was definitely that man's chakra!
'Releasing chakra on the Hokage Rock... are you expressing dissatisfaction with me, Mr. Hashirama...'
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes fell on the cheering crowd, which was mixed with many children. At this point, a hint of bitterness appeared at the corners of Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth.
After simply sorting out his mood, Hiruzen Sarutobi reached out and took off the Hokage hat on his head, and raised his hand while looking at the villagers who were cheering around him.
"Everyone!! Now that the war is over, Konoha has once again welcomed peace. Although we have won, many of our compatriots are still in eternal sleep.
All this is because of my negligence as the Hokage, so after tomorrow's mourning ceremony, I will resign from the position of Hokage, and the new Hokage will be elected by the villagers and the jonin according to convention.
I believe you all know some of the treaties between the villages. I am sorry that it was my negligence that did not strictly control the negotiation team, which caused the village to suffer such losses.
Although the negotiation team has been punished, this is finallyIt was my fault after all. "
After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen put his hat on his chest, his face was 'painful', as if he had deeply realized his mistakes.
I thought the villagers would try to keep him or comfort him, but the place that was just cheering was now silent.
Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and saw that all the villagers had no expression on their faces, and some even had disgust in their eyes. The scene fell into silence for a while.
After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru, who was standing at the front of the team with his hands folded and no expression on his face. His eyes were complicated.
"Hiruzen! This is just a mistake made by the negotiation team. How can you take these mistakes on yourself! And your contribution to Konoha is obvious to all. Who else can be the Hokage but you! "
Seeing the silence, Mitomon En immediately stood up and spoke to retain Sarutobi Hiruzen, giving him a way out to prevent him from losing face again.
"En, I have made up my mind. I am no longer qualified for the position of Hokage. The Fourth Hokage will be elected among Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Namikaze Minato.
The election time is as mentioned just now. The election meeting will officially begin after the mourning day. Everyone is very tired after traveling through mountains and rivers, so let's disband on the spot. "
After saying the last sentence, Sarutobi Hiruzen put on his hat and turned to walk towards the Hokage building.
After arriving at the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen took off his Hokage robe, jumped out of the window and quickly rushed to the location of the Hokage Rock.
Soon Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived at the location of the Hokage Rock, stood on his own stone statue, looked around nervously, but found nothing except the gentle breeze.
"Don't you want to see me......"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked closely at the top of the stone statue of Senju Hashirama, his eyes were low, and I don't know what he was thinking.
And the person he was looking for had already run to the casino to relax himself.
