Shock!
Utterly shocked!
There were no emotions left but shock!
No one expected Hashirama to say such things, but when the words came from his mouth, no one felt it was out of place.
Perhaps.
This is true strength!
Is he aiming for unification?
Everyone's minds were filled with huge question marks!
Most of the people present had never seen Hashirama in his lifetime, except for the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.
At this moment, both of them had similar thoughts.
In the past.
The First Hokage relied more on charm and diplomacy rather than power to conquer.
Even at the first Five Kage Summit.
For the sake of world peace.
The First Hokage had even bowed deeply to everyone.
This time...
It was unclear what had triggered this reaction from the First Hokage in his current state, but since his reanimation, he had appeared especially aggressive and domineering.
Why does he resemble Uchiha Madara more and more?
Both of them had the same thought: the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, had changed, becoming even more fearsome than before.
“Now, let me share my thoughts with you.”
Hashirama’s gaze swept across the room, making everyone he looked at feel a shiver.
“Wait!”
Hashirama suddenly had a realization and abruptly halted the Four Kage Summit, turning to look at Tsunade.
“Little Tsunade!”
“You all have come together rarely.”
“The meeting has been going on for a while now.”
“They must be tired.”
“Let’s take a break.”
“Why don’t you play some cards with them?”
Hashirama leaned back, closing his eyes, and took on a posture of resting.
“???”
Everyone’s minds were filled with countless question marks. At this moment, they were all stunned.
Just a moment ago, they were discussing such serious matters.
And now, he has just disengaged!
What kind of move is this?
It’s incomprehensible!
Everyone's hearts were hanging in suspense, unable to be put at ease.
This feeling.
It was extremely uncomfortable.
Suspended in uncertainty.
“Alright then!”
Tsunade sprang up from her chair, twirling her golden shuriken in her hand before throwing it onto the table of the Four Kage Summit. The sharp blade embedded itself into the tabletop.
“Whoever wins against me today will get this commemorative golden shuriken, a gift from my grandfather!”
Tsunade approached with a smile, causing the Four Kage at the table to be stunned.
In an instant.
Everyone's gaze turned to Onoki.
It was as if they were thinking:
"Take this limited-edition commemorative golden shuriken home, and study its value. After all, you still need to compensate for ten thousand of these."
Immediately.
The Four Kage Summit turned into a Four Kage card game.
The atmosphere was filled with joy.
The four Kage at the table found it quite peculiar. It seemed that with enough time, they might become card buddies.
...
Hashirama had his eyes closed, mentally communicating with the Tengu.
“Tengu, what is the current percentage of Hashirama cells in my body?”
Hashirama asked promptly. He had an approximate figure in mind but needed the Tengu to provide an exact number.
“Host, the Hashirama cell content in your body has reached an astonishing 71%!”
The Tengu, glancing at the numbers on its phone, spoke with great confidence, its eyes filled with anticipation.
“Just as I thought!”
A faint smile appeared on Hashirama’s face.
However, everyone’s attention was now diverted by Tsunade, so no one noticed the change in Hashirama's expression.
With the Hashirama cell content at 71%, it was almost certain that each S-rank mission would yield 10% of Hashirama cells.
Completing just three more S-rank missions would bring him to 100%.
And then resurrection would be possible!
“Tengu, let's try a few tasks!”
Hashirama’s thoughts were racing. Coming up with S-rank missions was not difficult, but finding ones that could be completed in the short term was.
“Here’s the plan.”
“Create a task.”
“Make all four Kage submit to me at the Four Kage Summit!”
Hashirama mentally issued the task to the Tengu, holding back several other tasks that couldn’t be completed immediately.
“Understood.”
The Tengu quickly typed on its phone.
Beep beep beep!
Results soon appeared.
“B-rank!”
The Tengu promptly replied.
The result was surprising.
Not even an A-rank!
Hashirama sighed. It seemed that, according to the system’s judgment, this task was considered very simple.
Upon reflection, it was true.
Defeating the Five Kage would be an S-rank task.
Submission.
That was too easy.
If this wasn’t an S-rank, Hashirama couldn’t imagine what an S-rank task would look like.
Unifying the Shinobi world would definitely be an S-rank task.
However, if he issued that now, it would occupy a task slot.
Hashirama would tackle it, but not immediately. There was no need to rush things.
Wait!
Hashirama suddenly remembered that the Tengu had leveled up.
Tasks could be deleted now.
“Tengu, issue a task to integrate the four great Shinobi villages into a Shinobi Nation!”
Hashirama immediately issued the task, considering the priority of this task in his mind.
There was also the Akatsuki organization outside.
The matter with the tailed beasts was not yet resolved.
Both needed to be addressed concurrently.
The progress had to be managed carefully.
"S-rank!"
The Tengu immediately confirmed the task's rank with a nod, which eased Hashirama’s mind.
"Delete the Cloud Village task, then create another task to establish a unified Shinobi Nation named the Senju Nation!"
Hashirama issued this new task in the same way, focusing this time on unification and the name. The previous task involved integrating the four great Shinobi villages.
Although these appear to be two separate tasks both in literal terms and system judgment, they can actually be accomplished together.
"S-rank!"
The Tengu confirmed once more, noting that any task related to the Shinobi Nation was classified as S-rank.
"Alright, let's go with these two tasks!"
Hashirama rubbed his temples. He hadn’t planned on rushing things, but given the circumstances, these two tasks seemed quite promising.
Once completed, he would go straight to Orochimaru for the first month’s interest plus the previous principal.
That would make resurrection possible!
The Akatsuki’s plans and the tailed beasts could wait until after his revival.
After a brief mental review, Hashirama redefined his future path.
"Gentlemen, the break is over!"
Due to the serious local epidemic, I had a nucleic acid test today and am waiting for the final results.
