Naruto: In the name of time, shock the ninja world!.

Chapter 198: Long time no see, Konoha

Even his own apprentice felt inferior to him, and Xingye Feng felt inexplicably jealous.

Suppressing his inner jealousy, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, teacher, Konoha is doing well, and it is firmly ranked first in the ninja world."

Hearing this, Hashirama laughed happily like a child.

"Hahaha......"

Uchiha Madara sneered and said sarcastically: "Don't laugh, your disciple is stirring up trouble in the ninja world and causing great suffering to other ninja villages."

"Now, except for the Sand Village, the other three major ninja villages have united."

Hashirama's laughter came to an abrupt end, and there was a sudden pause, without any further words.

He turned his head and frowned at Xingye Feng and asked, "What's going on? Alliance? They are being pushed into a desperate situation."

As one of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world, they naturally have their own pride. Moreover, there is always the risk of being backstabbed when allying with other villages.

Moreover, the situations within the ninja villages are different, with numerous factions and great resistance, and it is rare for people to reach a consensus.

The three major ninja villages united together, which obviously showed that they were forced into a desperate situation, otherwise this situation would never have occurred.

The corner of Hoshino Kaede's mouth twitched and he glared at Uchiha Madara, which was simply fanning the flames and blowing wind in one's ear.

But he was going to tell the teacher anyway, he couldn't hide it.

Facing Hashirama's serious gaze, Hoshino Kaede carefully considered her words and spoke.

"Teacher, it's been decades since you passed away, and everything is different now."

"Whether it's cognition, habits, or the ninja world, everything has changed."

"After your death, the First Shinobi World War broke out."

"After a few years of peace, the Second Ninja World War began again."

Listening to Kaede Hoshino's story, Hashirama couldn't help but feel depressed. He didn't expect that the war would break out.

Although he had anticipated these, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable after actually hearing them.

"What happened after that?" asked Hashirama. Something big must have happened afterwards, otherwise the ninja villages would not have united.

Hoshino Kaede did not continue speaking, but looked at Uchiha Madara and made a gesture of invitation.

"Madara-senpai, how about you take over the back?"

Upon hearing this, Hashirama turned his gaze to him.

Uchiha Madara snorted, but did not remain silent: "During the years when your disciple was in power, Konoha was extremely prosperous."

Hearing such high praise, Xingye Feng smiled and waved his hands: "Oh, that's too much praise, not worth mentioning."

He said these words modestly, but he looked very pleased.

"Clarify the laws, establish new rules, eliminate the treacherous and corrupt officials, and seize power."

"It can be said that there is no rival in the current Konoha Ninja World. Even if we unite, it will be useless."

"The Sand Village is now in name only. It has been infiltrated by this kid like a sieve."

Hoshino Feng was very surprised. He usually didn't hear such words of praise, so today he was really treated to a feast for his ears.

After hearing this, Hashirama Senju opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He felt excited and complicated.

He had expected Konoha to become strong in the hands of his disciples, but he had not expected it to be this strong.

From Madara's mouth, we can learn that Konoha possesses the strongest military strength in the entire ninja world, and the united ninja villages are like a joke in front of Konoha.

"That's really... surprising." His lips moved, and he finally said only this.

Uchiha Madara raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "I thought you would be kind and think this shouldn't happen."

Hashirama looked at him as if he were a fool and said speechlessly: "It's true that I have good intentions, but I'm not stupid."

After he finished speaking, Hoshino Kaede and Uchiha Madara looked at him with eyes that said "you are it".

Hashirama: “…”

"Ahem." The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. Hashirama coughed lightly and said with a wry smile: "Now that you've said that, what else can I do?"

"Konoha is no longer my era. I can't control what happens now."

Hashirama then thought for a moment, looked at Hoshino Kaede and asked, "Which Hokage is it now?"

"The inauguration ceremony for the fourth generation will be held soon. I am the third generation."

Hashirama uttered a sigh and said, "Are you giving up your position now? Why don't you stay for a few more years?"

Xingye Feng waved his hands repeatedly and refused: "Forget it, I have been in charge for seventeen years, it's time to let go."

Hashirama nodded: "Seventeen years, that's indeed not a short time."

He talked to himself for a while, then hesitated, his expression uncertain.

Seeing this, Xingye Feng knew what the teacher wanted to ask, and took the initiative to say, "The master's wife passed away a few years ago."

"As expected..." Hashirama looked disappointed, but he soon cheered up and smiled like the sun: "But I think Mito must be very relieved when he left."

Hearing this, Xingye Feng nodded sadly: "I am very relieved, without a single regret."

"That's good, that's good." Hashirama murmured, tears welling up in his eyes and a sour feeling in his throat.

After a moment of calm, Hashirama said, "Come on, take me to see Konoha as it is now."

Xingye Feng nodded and took the two of them back.

Of course, Hashirama's appearance would have to change, otherwise it would cause a sensation, and that would be troublesome.

"Oh? Is this the gate of Konoha? It's very grand." Hashirama came to the entrance of Konoha village and said with curiosity in his eyes.

Xingye Feng smiled and said with nostalgia: "This gate has been damaged for many years. I had it rebuilt and it looks like this now."

Looking at the magnificent gate, Hashirama couldn't help but recall: "I remember that we were very poor back then, but now the conditions are really good."

"Wait until you go in before saying this." Uchiha Madara said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Hashirama couldn't help but enter the village out of curiosity.

Looking at Konoha, which had been turned upside down and seemed to have entered another world, Hashirama couldn't help but burst into tears.

"This is the Konoha of my dreams."

The houses are well-built, the roads are interconnected, and every household is filled with happy smiles.

Hashirama looked around like a countryman entering the city, exclaiming in amazement from time to time.

The excessive frequency of the sound attracted the attention of passers-by on the roadside, with an indescribable expression on their faces.

The two people who were with Hashirama were also affected.

The corner of Xingye Feng's mouth twitched, and he quickly pulled Hashirama back: "Teacher, please restrain yourself, otherwise people will misunderstand you."

After hearing this, Hashirama nodded repeatedly, controlling his emotions but still looking around.

Uchiha Madara looked at him with disdain, and silently kept a distance from Hashirama to avoid being misunderstood.

Hashirama, who had not set foot in Konoha for a long time, found everything new to him.

Hoshino Feng followed behind, laughing and shaking his head.

Because he was paying too much attention to the situation in Konoha, he didn't notice the person in front of him and bumped into him.

"Uncle, please watch the road when you walk!" A childish and innocent voice came, making Xingye Feng raise his eyebrows and walk over quickly.

Hashirama laughed foolishly, scratched his head, and said apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't notice you."
