"You must be talking about Yamatsuki Sōkei. He used to be a Genin, but for various reasons, he gave up on being a ninja. I've always thought highly of him. He's a very kind person."
Seeing that Amado had such a high opinion of this person, Torifu also nodded. "We can try to give him a more important role in the future. After all, we won't be selling our products only in Konoha, but in other countries as well."
"If someone like that isn't given an important role, then it would be a huge waste."
Amado nodded when he heard this. "Okay, big brother. I will. I can also guarantee that his actions this time weren't an act."
"Good. You have a good handle on things."
Torifu now left all the business matters to Amado. Although Amado's ninja talent was good, he didn't plan to continue developing as a ninja. He was just a mediocre Chūnin. So Torifu intentionally let him train his business skills. After all, only then could Torifu truly become a hands-off boss. It was hilarious. You wouldn't really think that Torifu let Amado manage the business just to give him another path, would you? It was just because Torifu was lazy.
The products made by Amado's factory would be sold throughout the shinobi world. There were so many things that the tasks every day were unimaginably numerous. Torifu didn't have the time to manage all that. He would rather spend that time lying down and getting some sun.
Although he was now the Hokage, Minato's talent was excellent. Torifu would carefully raise Minato, and with his talent, he would definitely be able to quickly take over Torifu's position as Hokage. At that time, he would truly be free. He could just lie at home all day and experience the life that Hashirama was living now.
But speaking of which, there wasn't much of a difference now. The wisdom puppet was handling the tasks in the office, and he would only personally review a small number of important matters. These days, nothing had gone wrong, which meant that the puppet was truly useful and handled official duties strictly according to the procedures. With that, Torifu became even more shameless in his laziness. It could be said that he hadn't been to the office even once since he took office. Before, he would occasionally be assigned a mission. But now, who would dare to assign a mission to the Hokage? They must have a death wish.
Time passed by little by little. The people in front of the appliance stores were no longer in line. The owners also began to count their remaining mobile phones and the money from the sales, preparing to report to Amado. There were many men and women gathered on every street corner, talking about their new mobile phones and figuring out how to use them together. They were all overjoyed when they learned how to add each other's contact information.
Those with better learning abilities had already started playing the game. Most of them were teenagers. They had grown up listening to the stories of the First Hokage, and now they could re-experience the First Hokage's story in the game. That was just too cool!
"Hey, what level are you on?"
"Level two. I'm still a little unsure how to play. I've watched the cutscene for this level so many times..."
Another boy next to him laughed proudly. "Hahaha, you're too weak. I've already met Young Uchiha Madara! I'm definitely the fastest person to beat this game!"
"Don't be so smug! We'll catch up to you soon!"
At the front door of a house, a few teenagers gathered to play on the mobile phones their parents had just bought. They were naturally not convinced that their friends had surpassed them, so they concentrated on fighting one battle after another. They finally caught up to their friends.
The children would laugh out loud from time to time, especially when they saw Young Hashirama standing behind Uchiha Madara, which caused him to be unable to urinate. They never expected that the incomparably powerful Uchiha Madara, who was so powerful in the adults' stories, was just like them when he was a child.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Torifu's face. He didn't expect to see children competing over game progress in this era. This seemed a little too distant for him. It had been more than twenty years since he had seen this.
And it wasn't just the children. The ninjas from various clans also started playing the Naruto game. Especially the Senju and Uchiha clans. After all, the protagonists in this game were their current clan head and their former clan head. The stories about them were all passed down orally, and there were no books to record them. They didn't know if this game would be as nonsensical as Hashirama's Tales.
Tsunade had just returned from outside and saw Hashirama nestled on the sofa, playing on his mobile phone with full concentration. "Damn it! Why is this game so hard! Why can't I even pass the first level!"
She quietly walked behind Hashirama and watched as he controlled Young Hashirama, who was constantly dodging the ninjas' pursuit. But he was always 'killed' just when he was about to pass. His controls were so bad that Tsunade couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hashirama was startled when he heard the sound. He immediately sat up and hid the mobile phone behind his back. "Ahem, oh, little Tsuna, you're back."
"Grandpa, don't pretend anymore. Just hurry up and pass the first level."
Hashirama's old face turned red when he heard this. "I'm just playing for fun. It's not that serious." But he still took out the mobile phone and continued to fight in the first level. But with each death, he challenged it again. Looking at the 'Young Hashirama' with a cheerful smile on the screen, he suddenly felt that his smile when he was a child was so annoying.
When Hashirama finally passed the first level, he couldn't help but cheer. Mito, who was cooking in the kitchen, was startled and came out to check if there was a thief. When she saw that her husband was just acting crazy, she helplessly returned to the kitchen.
Tsunade looked at Hashirama with a look of disdain. "Grandpa, you're celebrating a little too early. This is only the first level. I've already played to the part where you and Young Uchiha Madara become friends."
"That fast? You're so talented in this, little Tsuna! Come and teach me, Grandpa. I also want to see what Madara was like when he was a child and see if he's the same as I remember."
In fact, when Hashirama first started playing, he felt it was very strange. He had only told Torifu about his childhood a few times. He didn't expect him to remember so clearly and even make his appearance when he was a child so realistic. This was completely unexpected. This disciple was truly capable. If Torifu had heard this, he would have only said, "You're overthinking it, old man. You and the game were never meant to be. It was all because I spent 50,000 Peace Points to buy it."
"Okay, Grandpa. I'll teach you some basic controls first. You can't just swipe around to pass. It requires some skills." Seeing Tsunade so patiently teaching him how to play the game, Hashirama was very pleased and watched Tsunade's every move with full concentration, just like how Tsunade used to watch him when she was a child.
