As people get older, they tend to have many feelings and reflections.

During this period, Hashirama often reminisced about the days when he played with Madara Uchiha when he was a child.

They also often recalled the days when the two fought each other and slaughtered each other's people.

But time flies, and more than seventy years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Madara Uchiha has long since turned to dust, while Madara Uchiha has a large family and a thriving clan.

Hashirama couldn't figure out who was right and who was wrong about what happened back then, but he believed that he was right to protect Konoha.

Now, Konoha Village is becoming increasingly powerful, far exceeding its initial size, and will continue to prosper in the future.

The only difference is that Hashirama was able to witness these things with his own eyes, while Madara Uchiha was no longer able to.

Back then, the two discussed their dreams on a cliff, deciding on the name of Konoha Village using Wood Release and the name of the Hokage using Fire Release.

It embodies the dreams of the two and their hope for peace in the ninja world.

Now he's the only one left.

"Master, why are you feeling sad again?"

Hashirama waved his hand: "It reminds me of Uchiha Madara. I don't even know where that old guy died."

Qu Feng nodded: "I don't know either. He failed to kill me, so he probably just died of old age."

"Anyway, I definitely won't live as long as you."

Hashirama burst into laughter: "That's right, that guy's really short."

Toki didn't know what Hashirama meant by "short," but it didn't seem like a compliment.

"Alright, go check on the rope tree. I'll sit here by myself for a while."

After lunch, Rope Tree returned to his yard.

Now that he has a family and has become the clan chief, he naturally can no longer live in his grandfather's courtyard.

Only Tsuna and Tobirama, the eternal bachelor, lived in the courtyard of Hashirama.

"Ah! Who's insulting me!" Tobirama rubbed his nose and said with great suspicion.

"Who would scold you? You probably caught a chill. It's the season when the weather is still chilly, so wear more layers," Mito reminded her from the side.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, I understand."

Meanwhile, Qu Feng had already arrived at the Rope Tree's courtyard. He called out in the courtyard and then sat down at the stone table to wait.

Soon, Rope Tree came out of the house: "Master! What brings you here?"

"I've come to check on your wife's condition; my grand-disciple must take good care of her."

Rope Tree scratched his head: "My baby still has three months to go. My older sister is the one who needs more reminders, right?"

"Tsunade is a doctor, she doesn't need anyone to tell her how to take care of herself, so there's no need to worry."

"Besides, I'm not here for anything else, just to check on your situation as a couple."

Rope Tree naturally accepted his master's concern: "Then thank you very much, Master. I wonder what gift you have for your grand-disciple after he is born?"

Qu Feng glanced at Nawaki: "Yes, there is, but you, as the father, can't take it."

Rope Tree was stunned upon hearing this: "No, Master! What kind of person do you take me for? You really believe that I would take my son's gift?"

Qu Feng didn't say anything, just stared straight at him. Finally, Nawaki chuckled and said, "You have a good eye for people. If there's really something good, I'll definitely take it."

Qu Feng was utterly helpless: "How can I help you advance to the Six Paths level like this? Can't you properly temper your temperament?"

Rope Tree, however, said nonchalantly, "My temperament is already very good, so don't worry!"

Qu Feng was worried about the future of his grand-disciple, and a few minutes later, Zhi Zi also came out.

"Greetings, Master. What brings you here, Master?"

Zhi Zi is well-educated, reasonable, and very polite. Qu Feng is also very satisfied with this apprentice's wife.

Moreover, they are from the Sarutobi clan, making it a marriage alliance between the two clans.

"I came here specifically to check on you."

Qu Feng handed over a jade pendant: "This thing can protect you from any illness, whether internal or external. You should take good care of it."

Just from hearing its effects, you could tell this thing was extremely valuable. Just as Zhizi was about to say she couldn't accept it, the thing floated right onto her neck.

“You and your husband are really two different kinds of people. This guy just said he wanted to take his own son’s gift.”

Seeing that his master had sold him out so quickly, Rope Tree was heartbroken.

Tomoko only gave him a look, and Nawaki immediately felt guilty.

The wind successfully captured this detail; it turns out that Rope Tree is also henpecked.

He does resemble his grandfather somewhat.

However, rather than being henpecked, it's more accurate to say he loves and respects his wife.

The preference for sons over daughters was still quite strong in the village, but it has improved a lot over the decades through continuous education.

Rope Tree, on the other hand, was influenced by the way his grandparents interacted from a young age, so he imitated them.

“Take this jade pendant. I have something to give the child after he is born. I will keep it safe for you and make sure this guy doesn’t get his hands on it.”

Zhi Zi immediately nodded: "I understand, Master. I will definitely keep it safe."

"By the way, don't let your grandfather take care of your children every day in the future. If they develop a gambling habit, you'll be in big trouble!"

Rope Tree scratched his head: "But my grandfather hasn't gambled for a long time. He's quit for many years."

"It's better to be safe than sorry. Anyway, your grandpa isn't good at taking care of children. If he's really too busy, ask your grandma for help. Otherwise, you can take care of them yourself. That's the safest option."

Tomoko doesn't have much to do on weekdays, so she naturally plans to take care of the child herself.

Thus, Qu Feng had nothing more to say: "Alright, I'll be going now. You two take good care of yourselves."

After Tomoko left, Tomoko looked at Nawaki and said, "I heard you even wanted to take your son's birth gift? You really aren't ashamed."

Rope Tree waved his hands repeatedly: "No! It wasn't me! That's slander!"

“How could I possibly take things from my child? That’s all my master’s slander.”

Tomoko glanced at him and said, "It'd better be that way, otherwise you'd be a terrible father."

After hearing this, Nawaki was somewhat helpless: "I was really just joking! I haven't even become a father yet, how can I have already failed!"

At this moment, Rope Tree felt extremely powerless, unable to prove his innocence.

"Alright, I'll take care of the baby after it's born. There's no need to trouble Grandpa and Grandma. Grandma is busy enough taking care of the house every day. I really can't bear to have her take care of the baby too."

Rope Tree also had this idea. He would talk to his grandmother about it, and she would probably understand. After all, it would also help relieve her pressure.
