"So you two are here... Why are you two relaxing there when the Fire Nation's Daimyo came here to discuss."
Suddenly the white-haired man came while complaining.
"Tobirama..." Madara muttered the name of the other party.
Madara and Tobirama stared at each other in silence.
"Sister, who is it?"
Only now did Tobirama realize there was someone else.
"Ah, he is Ars, my old acquaintance and Madara. For the specific situation, I'll explain later. Let's go meet Daimyo."
Sensing the tense atmosphere between Madara and Tobirama, Hashirama hurriedly left with him.
They both went down the hill, leaving only Ars and Madara.
"There's something I need to do. You can look around the village if you want."
Not waiting for Ars' answer, Madara's figure disappeared.
"Let's follow Madara's advice, I want to see Konohagakure Village."
Saving the food that had not been eaten to the [Storage Magic], he descended the hill on foot rather than flying.
...
In the afternoon, one of the Senju Clan members told Hashirama to arrange a residence for Ars.
From the man, Ars knows the person who became Hokage is Hashirama, and not Madara.
"So it's like having a home... From today on, I don't need to travel aimlessly."
Ars checked the house he was given.
The house is not very large, consisting of two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a living room. In addition, the house was still empty without furniture.
"Not bad. There's still time before night, time to buy furniture."
Locking the door, Ars went to a store selling furniture.
Along the way, he saw smiles in the surrounding people.
(After a long time of war, they got the peace they wanted. Unfortunately, after Hashirama's death, the First Great Shinobi War will begin.) Ars thought as he walked among the crowd of pedestrians.
There were many merchants coming to Konohagakure Village to open a business. After all, this was the first village established by the two strongest clans.
Arriving at the furniture store, Ars bought many items such as mattresses, pillows, chairs, tables, plates, glasses, etc.
The furniture store owner also serves Ars directly because of the many purchases he makes in one purchase.
Because there were too many goods, he hired the services of porters.
After paying the bill with Ryo currency, Ars went home and was followed by dozens of porters carrying the goods he bought.
Arriving home, he instructed them to put the items, and not to forget to give bonus money.
"Now this place is no longer empty and looks more alive..."
Ars felt the silence in the house.
"Haaa... Too quiet... When will I find my soul mate."
...
Next day.
Ars stood next to Madara, besides there was an upper echelon of the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan.
They were all on the rooftops of the Hokage office building, and witnessed Hashirama's inauguration as the First Hokage.
"There are many people present." Ars said in a low voice.
"That's natural, this is a historical event. All the villagers of Konohagakure have gathered here to witness Hashirama's inauguration as Hokage." Madara.
There was no disappointment or upset that he did not become Hokage.
"Whatever happens, I will continue to protect the village. I believe that by protecting the village, it is a way to protect the shinobi, the residents, and also the children. Whoever wants to destroy my village, then I will fight him"
"Oooohhhhh!!!"
(Hashirama has charisma as a leader rather than Madara.) Thought Ars.
He could feel an unmoved look at him from the upper echelons of the two clans. Many were curious about his identity because he looked very familiar with Hashirama and Madara.
Ars' identity as an immortal and a traveler from another world is known only three people, namely Hashirama, Madara, and Tobirama.
As the Guardian who will protect Konohagakure Village for 100 years, of course Ars' background is kept secret. The fact that he is immortal can lure people with evil intentions who want to know the secret of his immortality.
After discussion, the three agreed that only Hokage would be given detailed information about Ars. Even the village elders had no right to know. This is to minimize the leaking of Ars information.
...
Day after day passed, without realizing it had been a month Ars lived in Konohagakure Village.
"What's wrong?"
Lying on the sofa while eating snacks, he spoke without anyone around.
*Swoosh*
Suddenly a man appeared and knelt one leg.
The man was wearing an animal mask, his uniform consisted of black clothes, a grey bulletproof jacket, metal arm guards and gloves, ninja sandals with spikes.
"What's Anbu looking for me for?" Ars asked while glancing at the man at a glance.
Anbu is an elite force created by Tobirama to complete dangerous mission missions. They were chosen directly by the Kage because they had special abilities or strength above average.
"Shodaime Hokage (First Hokage) asks you to come to his office." The mother spoke politely.
"Alright, tell him I'll be here soon." Ars answered casually.
*Swoosh*
The Anbu used [Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)], then his body disappeared like a ghost.
"I wonder why Hashirama called me."
Ars stood up from the sofa while stretching his body. Then he left the house and went to the Hokage building.
...
*Knock Knock*
"Lake in."
Ars opened the door and entered.
Hashirama was sitting on a chair, the table in front of him was filled with piles of documents.
"You look very busy, Hashirama."
"Haaa... If I knew it would be like this, I would hand over the Hokage position to Madara."
Hashirama sighed, and his eye bags were clearly visible. I don't know how many days he hasn't slept.
"But this is better than fighting on the battlefield, right?" Ars said.
"Yeah, you got a point."
Hashirama stood up, looking at the peaceful life of the villagers behind the windows, his fatigue swept away in an instant.
"Well, Ars. Have you heard of the formation of other villages?"
"of course. In the Water Country (Mizu no Kuni) there is Kirigakure Village, in the Wind Country (Kaze no Kuni) there is Sunagakure Village, in the Lightning Country (Kaminari no Kuni) there is Kumogakure Village, and in the Land Country (Tsuchi no Kuni) there is Iwagakure Village. Including the Fire Nation (Hi no Kuni) there is Konohagakure Village. These five are recognized as the five largest and strongest countries in the world. Because of your and Madara's efforts to establish Konohagakure Village, the landscape of the world is changing rapidly."
Ars was one of the top brass of Konohagakure Village, so he knew more information than ordinary people.
The establishment of Konohagakure Village consisting of dozens of clans became a major threat in the eyes of clans in other countries. Inevitably, they must unite to form a village in order to be equal to Konohagakure Village. Otherwise, they were worried about being defeated.
"Don't tell me you want to..."
Ars recalls recently Hashirama captured Bijuu that nobody has.
"Have you guessed it? Yes, I want to hold a meeting of the five Kage in the Iron Country (Tetsu no Kuni) to establish cooperation between the five major villages. I want you and Madara to accompany me at the conference."
"All right, I'm coming."
Ars agrees. He also wanted to see the first generation Kage with his own eyes.
