Hashirama laughed. "The Nara clan has produced many great strategists for Konoha. Their minds seem to have a few more circuits than normal people. They can think of things others can't."
This was probably why the members of the Nara clan were in a dominant position among the three clans. If a country has a smart leader, it will surely go further, and the same applies to a clan.
"Haha. It's a shame that our Senju clan doesn't produce many smart people. It seems there's only been Tobirama."
When he heard his older brother's words, Tobirama just grunted, as if to say, "I guess so." The Senju clan was much more low-key now than when the village was first established. This was mainly because Hashirama and Tobirama had retired. Besides big events, it was rare for anyone to run into them on the street, unless it was in a game.
But even so, the Senju clan's strength was still at the top of all the great clans in Konoha. The new generation, Tsunade and Nawaki, were both very strong and had already become independent ninja. And Tsunade seemed to be getting married soon. Her relationship with Dan had developed very quickly. In this world, Dan hadn't died on the battlefield, so his relationship with Tsunade was still very stable. It was only a matter of time before they became a couple. Although Tsunade wouldn't technically be part of the Senju clan once she married, there was still Nawaki, so the Senju clan's combat strength wouldn't decrease by too much. Although he didn't have Hashirama's terrifying chakra, he had inherited Wood Release. Torifu had fed him many rare herbs when he was a child, so his future strength was immeasurable.
It was also worth mentioning that Jiraiya had gone on a journey again. He had absolute faith in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy and kept saying he had to find the Child of Prophecy. But the Child of Prophecy was undoubtedly Naruto. But then a problem arose. Naruto was supposed to become the Child of Prophecy because he was the reincarnation of Asura, but how could Naruto become the Child of Prophecy when Hashirama, the current reincarnation of Asura, was still alive? But the Great Toad Sage had already made the prophecy. The prophecy couldn't be fake, right? Torifu was a little confused and could only take things one step at a time.
Mito was busy in the kitchen for a long time. Naori went in every now and then to ask if she needed help, but she came out again very quickly. It seemed that Mito didn't have much faith in her cooking skills. But it didn't take long for Mito to bring out all the dishes. Every dish gave off a delicious aroma. Torifu, who wasn't a picky eater, almost couldn't wait to start. When all the dishes were ready, Mito smiled. "Okay, everyone, we can start eating."
At the dinner table, everyone talked about the aftermath of the war. It had been a long time since Konoha had gone through a war. It was already a good thing that this sudden war hadn't thrown Konoha into chaos. So everyone encouraged and celebrated with each other.
After they had eaten and drank their fill, Torifu and Naori left their master's house. Torifu returned to the clan compound, while Naori was going to visit Koharu. Koharu had also gone to the battlefield and fought as a medical ninja with Tsunade. Tsunade was the overall commander, while Koharu was an advisor. In the original world, Koharu and Homura were Konoha's elders. In this world, Torifu hadn't appointed any elders, but he had given them some important positions. Koharu was in charge of the hospital. Although Tsunade had established the medical system, she was too young and still a bit impulsive. Koharu, on the other hand, was much more stable. Both Koharu and Homura could now be considered high-ranking officials. However, they only had minor authority and couldn't participate directly in the decision-making for Konoha's important matters. The management of the village, from beginning to end, had been in Torifu's hands alone. Not even Hashirama and Tobirama could change Torifu's decisions. Their opinions only served as a reference.
When he got to his home, Torifu noticed that the Katō clan compound next door was very lively. Laughter kept coming from inside. It had been a long time since he had said hello to Mrs. Katō. He walked directly into the Katō compound. Mamiko wondered who it was and immediately came out to greet him when she saw it was Torifu. "Torifu, what brings you to my place today?"
Torifu smiled. "It's been a long time since I've visited you. I just happened to have some free time today."
Mamiko took Torifu's hand and smiled. "You're the Hokage now, so it's normal for you to be busy with work. Come in, come in."
When he walked inside, he saw that Dan and Tsunade were there, along with Kon and his wife. There was also a little child crawling on the floor. When they saw him, they immediately stood up and greeted him, but they all called him "Big Brother." No one called him Hokage-sama. They were all family now. Calling him Hokage-sama would make it seem like they were distant. Torifu looked at the child on the floor. "Is this Kon's child? So cute."
He picked up the child. Although she was very young, she was very brave. She wasn't afraid of Torifu, a stranger, and instead looked around curiously. Mamiko walked up to Torifu and said, "She is. She's a little girl, and she's very cute. Her parents named her Shizune. Katō Shizune."
When he heard the name, Torifu wasn't surprised. It was about time for Shizune to appear. And she was Dan's niece, so she had to be Kon's child. But just like Kon, she had no talent as a ninja. Under Tsunade's guidance, she only became a medical ninja. It was a shame she never even learned the Creation Rebirth seal.
Torifu exchanged for a glowing green plant from the system store. He then squeezed the juice out of it and fed it to Shizune. Although the others didn't know what he was doing, they didn't stop him. After all, why would Torifu ever harm this child? After he had fed her all the juice, Torifu nodded in satisfaction. "Consider this a gift for her. She will be very talented in medical ninjutsu in the future."
When Tsunade heard that, she immediately stood up. "That's great! I'll teach her everything I know!"
The others hadn't reacted yet. When they finally understood, they were suddenly enlightened. Torifu had just boosted Shizune's talent? Tsunade wasn't too surprised. She already knew. Her older brother, Nawaki's, talent had also been forcibly raised by Torifu. Otherwise, that kid would never have been able to master Wood Release. But it was good that someone could take their grandfather's place. After all, her grandfather was so old... she felt stupid after saying that. Her grandfather now looked younger than her. How could she say he was old? And her grandmother. Every time she saw her grandmother's face, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.
