Chapter 1035: Hokage Madara Uchiha! (Extra chapter for Alliance Leader Meng zhi Yi Yu!)
Over in the Ninja World.
Jiraiya, Chiyo, Kitsuchi, Fugetsu Eiji, and other former high-ranking ninja village officials who had decided to remain in the Ninja World after their meeting in Rōran, had to set off again for Konohagakure. They were going to meet Otsutsuki Hamura, who had descended from the Pure Land, to discuss the various plans for the reconstruction of the Shinobi Sect.
Just as they left, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha arrived shortly after. After being questioned by a few Sea Ninja on the outskirts and successfully proving their identity, they were brought to Rōran.
At this moment, First Sea Kage Fukurokuju, leading Tengen Uzui, Daikoku, Hanzo, Fengying, Fengren, and a group of Jonin, personally came to the city gate to welcome them.
It wasn't just to show how much they valued them, but also out of curiosity. They wanted to see what kind of super ninja Hashirama Senju was – the one who could defeat Aramaki, engage in fierce battle with Admiral Aokiji for several days, and even hold the title of 'God of Shinobi' in this Ninja World.
They also wanted to see what kind of expert Madara Uchiha was – the one said to be the only one who could rival Hashirama Senju in legend.
Not to mention, the status of Sea Ninja Village within the World Government was very likely to receive a huge improvement because of their joining. At least they wouldn't be constrained by Cipher Pol anymore, right? They had been unhappy with those men in black for a long time!
"Welcome, you two, to Sea Ninja Village. We hope that we ninja can truly occupy a foothold in the World Government!" Fukurokuju said enthusiastically, taking Hashirama Senju's hand and laughing loudly.
As for why he didn't shake Madara Uchiha's hand, it was mainly because Madara Uchiha's aura didn't seem easy to talk to.
"Hahahahaha, Adult Sea Kage said it excellently! We must let everyone see the strength of us ninja!" Hashirama Senju's face was beaming with a happy smile.
He was truly happy. After all, joining the World Government meant coming into contact with the colorful multiverse. Compared to the Ninja World, this small world, the stage could be said to have expanded countless times. How could it not make people anticipate, not make people happy?
But at this moment, a voice carrying doubt and a very cold tone instantly dropped the originally pleasant atmosphere to the freezing point, and Fukurokuju's smile froze there.
Madara Uchiha looked strangely at Fukurokuju and asked, "You are the Sea Kage? But why don't you look very strong?"
Although the other party didn't have Chakra within them, an expert who had reached his level could completely feel whether a person could bring him a sense of danger and a sense of urgency.
In his understanding, a Kage should be the strongest ninja. So, as a Sea Ninja Village under the banner of the World Government, its strength should naturally also be very powerful. At least it wouldn't be weaker than himself, right?
But the current situation exceeded Madara Uchiha's expectation.
"Uh—" Fukurokuju opened his mouth but couldn't speak. It also caused Daikoku, Hanzo, Fengying, Fengren, and other Jonin of the former Oniwabanshū behind him to show displeasure, and their gaze also turned cold.
As for Tengen Uzui, he had a look of helplessness.
"Madara! You're doing something that offends people again!" Hashirama Senju was very angry and glared directly at Madara Uchiha.
"Didn't we agree before we came that we would get along well with everyone in Sea Ninja Village?"
"Hmph, I said be friendly with experts!" Madara Uchiha crossed his arms and casually curled his lip, not caring at all.
Why should a weakling be his direct superior?
"Cough cough, it's alright. Compared to everyone, I'm indeed not good at combat. It's just because the strength of the ninja in our sea star is low, and I was barely considered the strongest ninja before, which is why I was appointed as this First Sea Kage. However, I have already reported upwards to give the Sea Kage position to Jonin Tengen Uzui, and at the same time, assist in managing Sea Ninja Village's affairs as an elder." Fukurokuju sighed and directly spoke out everything.
"What?!" But his words also greatly surprised Hanzo, Fengying, and others, including Tengen Uzui.
"Adult Fukurokuju, there's no need, right? Up until now, everyone is very satisfied with your work, you are absolutely a competent Adult Sea Kage. As for combat, just leave it to us!" Tengen Uzui hurriedly spoke to dissuade him. He truly never thought about being the Sea Kage. That would be too troublesome!
He, who frequently went in and out of the Sea Kage Office, had witnessed Fukurokuju's busy appearance many times. If it were him, where would he have time to take care of the four wives at home?
Mm. That's right, it's not three anymore, but four. On the basis of the original three wives, there was the addition of Mashiro Moritaka from the Imperial Arms World, who had a head of snow-white short hair. She was that very beautiful, but also very rough woman who was knocked out by him on the snowfield back then and captured and brought back to the Star Gate Base.
So Tengen Uzui truly didn't want to touch the Sea Kage position!
"No, the Second Generation Sea Kage must be you, and can only be you. Hope you can become even stronger, and let the Sea Kage, this identity, live up to its name." Fukurokuju suddenly grabbed Tengen Uzui's shoulder with both hands and said solemnly. Obviously, he was serious.
Tengen Uzui looked at Fukurokuju's gaze and fell silent.
"Why can it only be him?" At this moment, Madara Uchiha sneered, "Although his strength is not bad, it seems to be just that. If you don't have stronger ninja, then Hashirama and I seem more suitable to be the Sea Kage, right!"
"Madara!!!" Hashirama Senju couldn't hold back anymore and immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
Madara Uchiha had a string of black lines on his head, and casually slapped his hand away, but just gave a cold snort, turned his head, and stopped speaking.
"Lord Madara Uchiha, Lord Hashirama Senju, here I need to remind you two, in this World Government, it doesn't completely rely on strength." Fukurokuju let go of Tengen Uzui and looked at them very seriously.
"Your strength is indeed very strong, but it's not strong enough for you to become the Sea Kage just after joining!"
Madara Uchiha frowned, seeming to want to say something again, but was pulled by Hashirama Senju's arm and immediately suppressed it. However, he then heard Hashirama Senju say what he wanted to say, but with a more polite attitude.
"Then may I ask what identity we have in Sea Ninja Village?"
Tengen Uzui and others thought inwardly, *Indeed!* Now the Five Ministers have been determined, and further down are the commanders of various troops. But how could this possibly be offered to these two big shots? Just think, the scene of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha being ranked below Ōnoki, Rasa, and others...
"Hehehehe, we were already prepared for this." Fukurokuju smiled unhurriedly, "Given your two special identities and powerful combat power, we have referenced the habit from the Ninja World side and will establish the 'Five Great Kage-level Title' rules!"
"Kage-level Title..." Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha both raised an eyebrow upon hearing these familiar words, with perfect synchronicity, like brothers.
"Yes, in the future, the five strongest ninja within Sea Ninja Village in terms of combat power will be granted their personal exclusive Kage-level Title. For example, we have already determined Lord Hashirama Senju as Wood Kage, and Lord Madara Uchiha as Hokage!" Fukurokuju patiently began explaining to everyone.
Even the other Sea Ninja standing guard nearby also pricked up their ears and listened with great interest.
"The rank of Kage-level Title ninja is the same rank as the Five Ministers, but they don't need to handle tedious government affairs. Normally, they can move freely, only needing to return to accept missions when they appear. During special circumstances, they have the authority to command Jonin and ninja below that rank."
"However, if a Sea Kage and the Five Ministers, after voting, determine that a Jonin also possessing Kage-level combat power issues a challenge, the challenged current Kage-level Title ninja must return to the village to accept it. If they win, needless to say, but if they are defeated, they will face the result of being replaced." After Fukurokuju finished speaking, he looked at Madara Uchiha and smiled slightly, "How about it, are you satisfied?"
Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju looked at each other.
However, in the next second, Hashirama Senju suddenly tilted his head back and laughed wildly, tears even sprayed out exaggeratedly.
"Hahahahaha!" "Madara, you unexpectedly also get to become Hokage one day!!!"
"..." A string of black lines immediately pulled down on Madara Uchiha's head.
"Hmph!"
