Over Konoha Village.
At that moment, the golden list trembled.A white beam of light burst upward and shot into the heavens.
Pure Land World.
Senju Hashirama had just finished saying his farewells when something suddenly appeared in his hand—a sword.
He looked down at the blade, its patterns both ancient and intricate, simple yet profound. Hashirama couldn't help but sigh.
[Senju Hashirama: What a magnificent sword. In all my years fighting across the ninja world, it's rare to see a divine weapon of this level.]
[Senju Hashirama: "Huangquan Hirasaka Sword"…? Such overwhelming power… And from this blade, I'm sensing a strange, unfamiliar aura. Could this be the power of the Yellow Springs itself!?]
[Senju Hashirama: Amazing… It's completely different from chakra or natural energy. The aura of this Huangquan Hirasaka Sword feels… otherworldly.]
[Senju Tobirama: Big Brother! Try out its power! Activate the sword of Huangquan Hirasaka!]
Beside him, Uzumaki Mito also looked at Hashirama with bright, expectant eyes.
[Uzumaki Mito: Yes, husband, go on—try it!]
Hearing this, Hashirama lifted the Huangquan Hirasaka Sword in his hand. He glanced at Mito and Tobirama.
[Senju Hashirama: Very well. I'll try it now.]
The moment he willed it, the blade erupted with an ancient, primordial aura. Pale yellow smoke curled outward.
A terrifying force surged from the sword as pale yellow light pulsed through the intricate carvings across its surface.
Seeing this, Tobirama and Mito exchanged shocked looks.
[Uzumaki Mito: Husband… This Huangquan aura is even more incredible than the Orochi-no-Sword… I've never felt anything like this.]
[Senju Tobirama: Big Brother, based on this, it seems the Huangquan Hirasaka Sword really does allow a temporary resurrection…]
[Senju Hashirama: Yes! Hahaha! After so many years, I can finally visit the human realm again! I'm truly curious… what has become of the ninja world now?]
[Senju Tobirama: Brother! Don't forget what I told you! Don't you dare forget!]
[Senju Hashirama: Don't worry, Tobirama! As for Sarutobi and Shimura Danzo, those two disgraceful disciples—forget reminding me. I'll teach them a lesson myself!]
After a brief and emotional farewell, Hashirama tightened his grip on the Huangquan Hirasaka Sword.
He activated it.
A blinding yellow radiance filled the Pure Land.When the light faded—
Hashirama's figure was gone.
Konoha Village.
Senju Hashirama stood amid the flowers and trees of Konoha, and emotion welled in his chest.
"The current Konoha… it's peaceful. Well-governed…"
The power of the Huangquan Hirasaka Sword had already resurrected him temporarily, allowing him to walk once more in the human world.
"I wonder who the Hokage is now…Come to think of it, in that earlier scene, Tsunade was shown becoming Hokage someday."
"If Tsunade is truly Hokage… and she manages the village this well… that would be wonderful."
These thoughts warmed his heart.
But he had no idea that the current Hokage was Tsunade.
As he walked, nostalgia guided him toward the building he remembered best—the Hokage's office.
Before long, he stood before the building marked with five bold characters: Hokage's Office.
Hashirama smiled faintly.
"It's aged… Much more than when I built it."
"I'm really curious now… who is Hokage?"But then his smile faded.
"Hopefully it's not that disgraceful apprentice of my brother from the earlier scenes…"
With that, Hashirama stepped inside.
A secret room.
Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura were in the middle of a tense discussion.
Shimura Danzo spoke first:
"Now that the reward, the Huangquan Hirasaka Sword, has been delivered to Senju Hashirama, we can be certain he will use it to resurrect himself."
"And as the First Hokage—the co-founder of this village alongside Uchiha Madara—once he returns to the human world…"
"He will definitely come to Konoha."
Danzo's expression tightened.
"And if he comes to Konoha, he will undoubtedly seek out myself and Sarutobi, as shown in the earlier images, and 'clean up' the village."
"And as Tsunade's grandfather, he will naturally support her. That means our plan to reclaim the Hokage seat will be severely obstructed…"
Sarutobi's brows furrowed.
"Yes… And his power was clearly shown earlier. As the legendary God of Shinobi, even if the four of us fought together, we wouldn't stand a chance."
Hearing this, Homura interjected:
"Huh? Sarutobi, Danzo… Weren't the two of you on the list earlier? And didn't you both receive powerful rewards?"
"If I remember correctly, you received the Rinnegan and Danzo the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, right?"
"With those, surely you could fight Hashirama?"
Homura had no idea that both rewards had been forcibly taken by Uchiha Madara when he captured and tied Sarutobi and Danzo inside the Root base.
Danzo and Sarutobi exchanged bitter, miserable looks.
"Our rewards… were taken by Madara Uchiha," Sarutobi muttered."The injuries you see… all from that time."
Koharu slammed her hand down.
"Outrageous! Madara Uchiha is nothing but an old relic—how dare he attack the sitting Hokage!? Unforgivable!"
Homura exhaled slowly.
"Regardless… it's too late to complain. What matters is how we handle the resurrected Senju Hashirama."
Danzo and Sarutobi spoke at once:
"First—we absolutely cannot let Hashirama find us!"
"Otherwise… we can forget ever becoming Hokage again!"
Homura nodded.
"Yes… Hashirama is a massive threat."
"But the only advantage is that his resurrection is temporary."
"Perhaps we can use that to buy time… and plan accordingly."
The four continued their frantic discussion in the dim room.
Inside the Hokage's Office.
Tsunade sat at her desk, staring at the golden list, imagining the moment her grandfather returned.
"Shizune, do you think Grandpa Hashirama will be so shocked his eyes pop out when he sees I'm Hokage?"
Shizune smiled.
"I'm sure Senju-sama will be surprised—and proud. Seeing you as Hokage will definitely make him happy."
Tsunade nodded vigorously, excitement bubbling inside her.
"Yes! Definitely!"
She began muttering to herself:
"Hmm… What should I do when I see Grandpa later?"
"Should I play a round of his favorite gambling games with him? Or walk around the village together? Show him how Konoha has changed?"
"Hm… Yes! I'll take him around the village first. Let Grandpa Hashirama see today's Konoha!"
"Then we can have a gambling match after that—"
Tsunade's imagination ran wild, her face glowing with anticipation.
Then—
The office door suddenly opened.
Tsunade turned toward the entrance.
And froze.
The man standing there…
He was exactly the same as in her memories.
Unchanged.Untouched by time.
"Hm…"
"Konoha Village has developed well… Very well indeed. And—who is the Hokage now?"
Hashirama smiled as he spoke, glancing back at the village outside—then he looked into the room.
His eyes met Tsunade's.
Both stood frozen.
"Tsunade…? Tsunade!?"
There she was—wearing the Hokage cloak and hat.
Hashirama's entire body trembled.
"You… you… you…"
Staring at her with disbelief, he finally choked out:
"Are you… my little granddaughter Tsunade?"
Tsunade nodded hard, tears welling up.
"Yes… Grandpa Hashirama!"
She rushed forward, and the two embraced tightly.
Sunlight bathed the village—warm, brilliant, beautiful.
