He was killed in Chapter 2.

"Thump~"

"Awooo, Tobirama, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm chatting with a Konoha junior? Oh, right, kid, tell me, has Madara become Hokage yet? He must have! Konoha seems so peaceful! Great, looks like Madara and I succeeded!"

"..."

Hearing Hashirama Senju urging him again, Ishigami fell silent, his gaze sweeping over...

Especially when they saw Tobirama Senju frowning and hesitating, Hashirama Senju looking expectant and happy, and Madara Uchiha looking happy, expectant, and curious, they seemed to not know how to speak for a moment.

After this eerie atmosphere persisted for a while, Tobirama Senju gave the kid opposite him a deep look, then turned to his older brother, opened his mouth expressionlessly, and said, "Brother..."

But before he could finish speaking...

"Wait a minute!" Hashirama Senju, who had been cheerful, suddenly became serious. He sat upright, arms crossed, staring intently at the stone stream opposite him. "Looks like quite a bit has happened! Little one, tell me, has Madara become Hokage?"

"Madara... Hey, Uchiha Madara did not become the First Hokage." Looking at the serious Senju Hashirama, Ishigami hesitated for a moment but did not hide it. Anyway, it was not something that happened in his time, so why hide it?

"You were the First Hokage of Konoha, Hashirama Senju!"

"?!" x3

The three fell silent, but apart from Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, who both looked somewhat surprised, Tobirama Senju had a cold smile on his lips.

Until a moment later,

"Madara didn't become the First Hokage?" Hashirama Senju calmed down from his surprise and regained his usual playful expression, scratching his head. "It seems that's really the case! What a pity, since we promised Madara to become the First Hokage."

With that, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed deeply to Madara, "I'm sorry, Madara, I didn't make you the First Hokage."

This sudden kowtow stunned the two people beside him; no, even the stone stream opposite them was taken aback.

I'd heard long ago that the First Hokage loved to ship people, and seeing it today... it's definitely true!

"Big brother, what are you doing?!" Tobirama Senju snapped out of his daze, his face darkening as he roared at his older brother, "There are Konoha's juniors here! You are Konoha's future First Hokage, how can you do something so disrespectful?!"

"Hey, Tobirama, don't pull me back! I already agreed..."

Hashirama Senju, who was being pulled along by Tobirama Senju, grumbled in dissatisfaction, but before he could finish speaking...

"Hmph! Hashirama, you broke your promise!" Madara's voice rang out at this moment. He snorted coldly, looking at Hashirama, who was kneeling on the ground being pulled by Tobirama, and said in a cold and indifferent tone, "But I don't care about these things. As long as that white-haired bastard doesn't become Hokage, that's enough. You get up right now and don't embarrass yourself in front of your juniors."

As he spoke, he turned his head again, looking at the stone stream opposite him, a smile involuntarily playing on his lips. "And our dream... came true, didn't it?"

"Madara, you..." Upon hearing Madara's words, Hashirama Senju's face showed a hint of emotion, but he quickly regained his composure, stood up, put his hands on his hips, and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, that's right! Madara~"

He glanced at Madara, then looked across at the same spot as Madara. "Yes! Our dream has come true. We've built a peaceful village, allowing children to live far away from war and enjoy a peaceful life!"

To build a village to protect children, and to establish a school for children to train, complete tasks, and be ranked, thus keeping children away from war—this was his and Ban's childhood dream.

Now there's a village, a school, and it looks very peaceful.

He and Ban really succeeded!

Thinking this, Hashirama Senju stopped worrying about who would become the First Hokage. He smiled again, hands still on his hips, looking at the ravine opposite him. "Little guy," he said, "even though Madara didn't become the First Hokage, he must have become the Second Hokage! Konoha must have enjoyed peace under my and Madara's protection, and everyone is living happily in the village!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Hashirama Senju looked at Shijian, but Tobirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, who were standing nearby, also turned their heads, their faces serious as they stared intently at Shijian.

It seems they also want to know who the next Hokage will be!

Shijian: ...

With so many people watching, Shi Jian, who had been watching the commotion, came to his senses. His lips twitched, and he scanned the crowd from left to right, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Hashirama Senju... how come he always seems to be walking on the edge of the line?

It's estimated that Madara is the only one who hasn't seen the stone tablet in his clan's secret grounds yet. In addition, the Third Shinobi World War has just ended not long ago here. Although there are still wars in some parts of the shinobi world, Konoha Village is generally in a peaceful atmosphere, which has deceived Madara into believing in this peaceful future.

Otherwise, Madara might have turned on him right then and there!

However, he had a rough idea of ​​the other side's timeline.

In the early stages of Konoha's establishment and the selection of the First Hokage, or rather, there were calls within the village for Hashirama Senju to become Hokage, but it had not yet been confirmed.

However, just as Shijian was pondering.

Hashirama Senju's head popped up again, his face showing displeasure, as if he were prying at a window.

"Hey, kid, what are you daydreaming about? Are all ninjas in peacetime prone to spacing out? Hurry up and tell me! Has Madara become the Second Hokage? That must be it!"

"This..." Shi Jian paused for a moment, but seeing Hashirama Senju's expression, he sighed, his tone filled with helplessness, "Madara Uchiha did not become the Second Hokage!"

"..." x3

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them froze on the spot again.

Immediately afterwards, Madara Uchiha lowered his head in disappointment, clenching his fists. Tobirama Senju wore a contemptuous smile and a knowing look in his eyes, while Hashirama Senju... remained stunned, though the overall atmosphere was somewhat somber.

"No?! This, this, how is this possible? Could Madara have become the Third Hokage?" But Hashirama Senju quickly recovered, leaning against the window again, glaring angrily at the opposite side. "It's fake, this must be fake. How could Madara not have become Hokage? Tell me, what's your scheme? Are you trying to sow discord between me and Madara? Hmph, I knew it was fake a long time ago."

"..."

Shi Jian looked at him silently.

This guy was clearly the first to believe he was the future, okay!

And last night... before I could even explain, they believed me, but now they're turning their backs on me?

Shi Jian covered his head helplessly, hesitating about how to explain, but before he could speak...

"Thump!" Tobirama Senju delivered another punch, pulling his older brother away. "Calm down!"

As he spoke, he looked across at the other person, his eyes and tone completely calm, "That guy didn't become Hokage? Heh, looks like a lot happened in the future!"

Before Shi Jian could say anything, these words were spoken.

Hearing his younger brother's words, Hashirama Senju rallied again, quickly climbing to the window, his playful demeanor returning. "Something must have happened in the future. Could Madara be becoming the Third Hokage?"

"...Uh, Madara Uchiha did not become the Hokage of Konoha."

"Impossible! Kid, lying is no good." Hearing Ishigami's words, Hashirama became angry again, glaring at the person opposite him. "How could Madara not have become Hokage? If Madara didn't become Hokage, what is he doing? Is he dead?"

"He is indeed dead. No, I should say... never mind." This time, Shi Jian didn't hide it anymore. He realized that hiding it or not was useless. If he wanted to contact the other side, they would find out sooner or later.

He sighed. "According to Konoha's historical records, Madara Uchiha later defected and was then killed by the First Hokage, which is you..."

Before he could finish speaking...

"Click~"

The screen suddenly disappeared.

Hashirama Senju: ...

Tobirama Senju: ...

Uchiha Madara: ...

The three people who had been listening attentively suddenly fell silent.
