When summer came, Hashirama, who had always been strong and healthy, suddenly fell ill. He had been ill for half a month, feeling weak all over and suffering from a cold and runny nose. This had never happened before.Mito looked at his tired look and felt very sad, but Hashirama didn't take it seriously. He smiled and patted her hand, telling her not to worry too much.

"It's not a big deal. Besides, in an era when the average lifespan of a ninja is more than thirty years old, I'm already luckier than many people, right?"

He is right. Hashirama, who is in his 40s, has a wife, children, and grandchildren. He has a high martial arts value and a good reputation. He has close friends and respectable opponents who are sympathetic to him. His brother and confidant who took care of everything so that he could live as he pleased.

He was born in troubled times, grew up in troubled times, and finally calmed down the troubled times. It can be said that he has no regrets in this life.

"It would be perfect if my luck were better." Lying on the bed, Hashirama said quietly.

Mito, who was originally very worried, felt a drop of cold sweat slipping from her temples after hearing his words. It seemed that her man had not passed by for a long time.

"Then get better soon and play more often, and you will always win."

This is how they get along. Although Mito hates Hashirama going to the casino, she knows what to say to him when it comes to making him happy.

"Really let me go?"

Mito smiled and nodded.

Hashirama was so moved that he almost cried on the spot. He encouraged himself, "I will try my best to get well before tomorrow. I will keep my word and cannot go back on my words."

Mito:  …

There is a certain limit to the division of human cells. Even if he is an immortal, he has the ability to heal himself at any time.The long-term fighting consumed Hashirama a lot. As he got older, this happened for the first time. Both he and Mito understood his situation.

"From now on, don't do it easily. There are many outstanding ninjas down there. It's time for them to take the stage."

Hashirama agrees with her point of view. He is a bit like a product of the old times. Now, he is more like Konoha's mascot. The future of Konoha still depends more on young people, such as Hiruzen. Danzo, mirror them, that is the rising sun.

"Maybe it's time for me to step down, what do you think?"

Mito didn't care about this and handed him the peeled apple and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you are good, anything is fine."

Look, as long as she's not drunk, under normal circumstances, his Mito is this kind of gentle and considerate woman.

"and also,"

"Ok?"

"I'll try not to beat you in the future, I'll restrain myself."

"Can't you restrain yourself?"

Mito took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "Then tie me up."

"Uh……"

Speaking of being tied up, Hashirama suddenly recalled the picture book he had hidden in his mind, and it seemed that there was such a plot in it.

The thin elastic rope and how to tie the knot looks nice, but it is a bit complicated. I don’t know if I can learn it. If not, I will dig it out and study it another day.

Mito also remembered it. She hid the earthy love painting book in the mezzanine of the cabinet. She had said she wanted to try it at first. She looked at Hashirama shyly. Although the couple looked different, They are different in terms of their thoughts, but they reach the same goal by different paths.

Ok……

Mito: After retirement, your beautiful life may have just begun!

Hashirama: That’s right, whoever likes to be the village chief should be the village chief. He can enjoy himself as long as possible.

After his body recovered, Hashirama first went to Tobirama and told him that he wanted to retire. Tobirama frowned at Hashirama, wondering what he wanted to do. Was he trying to deceive him again? Money to gamble?

Think beautiful!

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Hashirama became a little anxious, "I told the truth, I didn't mean to defraud you of your money, why don't you believe it?"

Tobirama spread his hands: "That's because Anika comes to me most of the time for this reason. His credibility is overdrawn or collapsed."

"..." Three lines appeared on his head.

"Work hard and don't think about useless things all day long." Tobirama said in a bad tone, hitting Hashirama: "If you don't do your own work and think about useless things all day long, what should you do if I go on strike one day? ?”

"Cold."

"What?!" The voice suddenly rose.

"Nothing, nothing, just saying casually, why are you so angry?"

Tobirama rolled his eyes at him, when will his eldest brother mature like a real adult?

All joking aside, this time Hashirama is really thinking about resigning. He is a terrifying person who rushes to the front line, but he really makes him stay in the village obediently and immerse himself in documents one after another. Here, he is indeed not suitable.

In the early days of the establishment of the village, the situation was turbulent and unstable. He needed to rely on his own reputation to suppress the evil forces that were ready to move in the dark corners, and also to give confidence and peace of mind to the families who brought their entire clan to seek refuge with him. But today is different from the past. , a few years have passed, Konoha has become stable in all aspects, and his role has gradually weakened.

"But I'm really serious about telling you this. My body seems to be not as good as before..." Tobirama understood what this meant to Hashirama, who had a fairy body.

His expression became serious, and he reassured Hashirama, "It's just a little cold, isn't it?"

Hashirama smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There are no immortal people in this world, and I am no exception. Maybe it was because I used it too hard before, so..."

"Anika..."

Tobirama's expression was very strange. He looked at Hashirama and felt very sad. He had forgotten that even if he had a fairy body, Hashirama was still a human being. As long as he was a human being, he would suffer from birth, old age, illness and death. It was just the big brother who had always been strong and strong. It caused him to lose sight of the fragile side of human beings.

"Well, don't show that expression, Tobirama, it doesn't suit you very well." Hashirama laughed and patted his brother on the shoulder, telling him not to worry so much.

People who live in troubled times may lose their lives on any given day. People who grow up in such an environment can easily hide their emotions, and Tobirama has been like this since he was a child. He has a very different personality from his father, Senju Buddhama. Like, most of the time, emotions and anger are invisible, calmer and more mature.

Growing up, Tobirama, who was actually two years younger, was more like an older brother. He took care of him, did everything for him, and never complained.

Even such a person, who had nothing to control him, still panicked when faced with the health problems of his dearest brother.

"You seem to have a lot more emotions now. Kagura-san must have influenced you. It's great. This way you look like a normal person."

"Anika..." Tobirama turned around, his back facing Hashirama.

He's still not very good at showing his vulnerability to people.

Hashirama sat down on the chair, looked at his brother's back with a smile, and said softly: "It's not like I'm going to die immediately, it's just that my health is a little worse, it's not that the sky is falling, and I don't want to hold the position of village chief anymore. , the village chief symbolizes the power of a village, I want to give up my position to someone with more power." Two fingers tapped the table rhythmically, and Hashirama defined himself, "I have retired with success. Right, right, Tobirama."

However, Tobirama didn't care about this.

"It's Madara," Tobirama snorted, "Big brother's ideal candidate."

The smile disappeared from Hashirama's face, and he looked at Tobirama with a serious face.

"He has this ability. Besides, the position of village chief is a constraint for him. As the village chief, he has to risk his life to protect the village." Besides, making Madara the Hokage has always been one of Hashirama's The two of them had agreed upon their wish.

"..."

"Tobirama, I want you to help Madara just like you helped me. No matter who is the village chief, we can't do it without you." Hashirama said this from the bottom of his heart, but Tobirama didn't seem to listen. arrive.

Evil Uchiha...?

he asked himself.

Is it really okay to leave the village in the hands of such an emotionally unstable person?

Isn't the eldest brother really setting up trouble for Konoha?

"Tobirama, what I said..."

"Anika," Tobirama interrupted him, "If you want to ask me what I think, I hope this is just a temporary thought of yours. I'll just assume that you want to get some money from me to gamble. .”

"Not this time."

"..."

"Actually, you know very well that even if I no longer become Hokage, my life still belongs to the village, and I will still go to the village if there is danger. In this case, in the second half of my life, let me easily follow my own path. Let your heart come to you."

"..."

"If you don't speak, I will take it as your agreement."

"In this case, my opinion is still the same as before. In the democratic election system, Anika can nominate, and the final candidate will be voted by the ninjas in the village."

"..."

In fact, Hashirama knew in his heart that this was the most appropriate method. The public's eyes were sharp, and letting his subordinates choose the leader they wanted to follow would save a lot of trouble. He had no sufficient reason to deny Tobirama.

"Like you, Anika, I protect the village with my life. I don't want it to have any hidden dangers or risks."

Hashirama lowered his head, he was thinking, what about Madara, does he have the same idea as the two brothers now?
