**Chapter 1042: The Peaceful Settlement of the Ninja Clans!**
The cool, rustling autumn wind swirled gently across this land named Hakumai.
With a pleasant rustling sound, streaks of fiery-red maple leaves were swept up by the wind, drifting towards the clear sky and the distance. They looked like clumps of scattered fire in the air.
Giant roosters, nearly two meters tall, completely black, with flaming combs on their heads and wattles under their jaws, pulled train cars behind them. Striding forward with thick, long chicken legs, they ran rapidly towards the north, forming two continuous convoys stretching over a hundred meters long.
The giant roosters held their heads high, wheels rolled, and smoke and dust billowed. Flags hanging outside the train cars flapped in the wind, and the clan emblems of the Uchiha and Senju fluttered in the roar of the convoy.
"Grandfather, this Wano Island is really interesting! It's much livelier than Konoha was back then!"
Tsunade, already thirty-three years old, sat in the surprisingly well-shock-absorbed train car, drinking sake from her cup heartily while looking at Hashirama Senju, who was enjoying the scenery outside the car, and laughed.
She had specifically asked Esdeath for leave to come here this time. After all, it was her grandfather's first time in Wano Country, so she definitely had to welcome him.
These past few days, Tsunade had been extremely busy, constantly working with Raijin, Fūjin, and other clansmen to tidy up the clan land that the World Government had allocated to them.
She heard that these clan lands originally belonged to the famous family manors from the previous 'Wano Country Era'. So the environment and facilities were quite good, and the land area was also decent. Although their Senju clan population wasn't large, the area was not much different from the Uchiha Clan, which should be thanks to her grandfather.
There was just a lot of dust, and some signs of damage caused by years of neglect and exposure to wind and rain. Fortunately, with the help of Shadow Clone, and the fact that their Senju clan never lacked stamina, the efficiency of tidying up wasn't slow.
It was just that a group of people claiming to be from the Ubuyashiki Family came uninvited and enthusiastically helped them clean. After cleaning, they even sent a lot of exquisite furniture, and finally left a message saying that their family head would definitely visit once Grandfather returned.
This piqued Tsunade's interest, and she spent some effort researching the Ubuyashiki Family's matter.
They were from the Demon Slayer World. A thousand-year-old family that formed the Demon Slayer Corps. The direct male descendants of their clan possessed the ability of Future Sight.
Behind them stood a man named Muzan Kibutsuji. He was not only the Ubuyashiki Family's ancestor but also the current Senior Researcher at the Biochemical Research Institute, the Life Return Instructor in the Military and Political Department, and simultaneously the Chairman of the Demon Slayer World International Alliance.
It could be said that this person had already secured a place in the World Government.
Before their ninja clans arrived, the Ubuyashiki Family was the most influential clan on Wano Island. Those renowned clans from the 'Wano Country Period' had long been swept into the history trash heap. Even the remaining members could only hide in the corners and silently shed unwilling tears.
The era has changed!
"Oh, how lively is it?"
Hashirama Senju withdrew his gaze from the fiery-red maple forest outside and asked curiously.
"Then let me first talk about a few noteworthy official forces on this island."
Tsunade's expression became serious. Because they had to adapt to the World Government's rules of the game. The current Senju clan, under the World Government, was completely insignificant without the grandfather in front of them.
"First is the Shogun's Mansion in the center of the Flower Capital, which is the political center established here by the World Government. The current General is Dracule Mihawk Saint, a Celestial Dragon!"
"Celestial Dragon?" Hashirama Senju raised an eyebrow. Tsunade nodded with extreme seriousness: "Yes, this person can be said to be the most noble person on the entire Wano Island. Regardless of anything, he is someone you absolutely cannot provoke or offend!"
"Later, I will show you his photo. You must remember it firmly. If you encounter him in the future, absolutely do not act recklessly, otherwise, all of us will be finished!"
"Alright..."
Hashirama Senju's corner of his mouth twitched as he looked at his granddaughter's worried look. Was he that unreliable? Why would he provoke the other party for no reason? At most, they would just drink alcohol together, right?
"Also, this Saint Mihawk is also the Master of the Gotousai, and it is said that he himself is a Great Swordsman, with very formidable strength."
Hearing this, Hashirama Senju immediately became interested.
"Gotousai? Great Swordsman?"
"Yes, the Gotousai is the organization established by the World Government on Wano Island, specifically responsible for collecting, organizing, and innovating various swordsmanship, as well as training, cultivating, and managing civilian swordsmen. This means that unless they join the military or official ranks, anyone recognized as a swordsman is under their authority to supervise!"
After speaking, Tsunade thought for a moment and added: "Swordsmen are similar to the samurai in our Ninja World."
"Oh oh oh—"
Hashirama Senju finally understood. He felt that the Gotousai was similar to the Land of Iron.
"Then where is this Gotousai?"
Tsunade replied: "It's right next to the Shogun's Mansion. When you arrive at the Flower Capital, you will be able to see it. It's very spectacular."
"Alright, anything else?"
Hashirama Senju crossed his arms and nodded thoughtfully.
"There's also the Sea Ninja Village in Kibi, and the Famous Sword Town in Udon. Among them, Famous Sword Town is where the World Government gathers the most excellent craftsmen from various worlds."
"That place is responsible for the output of high-quality weapons, as well as things like Ministerial Arms and Ninja Tools. Basically, if you need to order custom equipment with high quality, you can go there, but the cost will be much higher than outside."
Hashirama Senju nodded repeatedly: "I must go see it if I have the chance. This armor of mine is already too old. Perhaps they can help me repair it."
"Then let me talk about the situation of the various clans from the Ninja World, just like us."
Tsunade poured a cup of sake for her grandfather. Just as she was about to pour one for herself, she found the drink was gone, feeling speechless. This caused her beautiful eyes to lightly glance at the cup opposite her, only to see that her grandfather had already picked it up and drunk it dry.
"Hehehe~~"
Hashirama Senju chuckled smugly, showing no sign of being an elder.
"Hmph, let me first talk about the Flower Capital, because this is the core area of the entire island, and its area is the smallest, so only the most important clans are allowed to settle here."
Tsunade turned her head away unhappily, but continued to explain everything one by one.
"Besides our Senju Clan, the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan are also allowed to settle in the Flower Capital."
"In addition, the Third Raikage from Kumogakure and his family, the Fourth Kazekage from Sunagakure and his family, and the Third Tsuchikage from Iwagakure and his family also live in the city."
Hearing this, Hashirama Senju asked in doubt: "What about the Mizukage from Kirigakure, and that Fourth Hokage Orochimaru from our Konoha?"
"The Kazahana Clan's clan land is in Ringo, which is a zone that is constantly in winter. It should be considered suitable for their Ice Release. As for Orochimaru..."
Tsunade said with a strange expression: "I heard that he himself gave up joining the Sea Ninja Village and doesn't live on Wano Island, but instead applied to enter the World Government's Academy of Science, which is where they do research on various technology."
"Uh, alright, respect his choice. Although his term was very short, I can see that he was indeed an excellent Hokage."
Hashirama Senju shook his head. Although those words were actually said by his younger brother...
"Then where do the other ninja clans live, especially our Konoha's Nara Clan and Aburame Clan?"
