🌲 Hashirama Senju — The Shinobi God

The morning sun bathes Konohagakure in a warm, golden light. The village is still under construction—logs piled up, stone walls slowly rising, children running fearlessly among the construction sites.

Hashirama walks through the bustling streets with his hands behind his head, grinning from ear to ear as he greets everyone he meets. His black hair floats lightly in the wind, and his red armor contrasts beautifully with the blue midday sky.

"Hahaha! Good morning, Itaru-san! How are the bricks for the new building coming along? Ah, excellent! Keep it up!" He gives a friendly pat on the back to a construction worker, making the man stumble forward with an awkward smile on his face.

He continues walking, looking around with eyes shining with genuine pride. Every stone laid, every roof erected—all of it is living proof of the dream he and Madara shared when they were just children playing stones in a river.

As he passes through the central square, he sees a group of shinobi chatting animatedly about a recent mission and approaches them naturally.

"Hey, hey! You all came back safe and sound, right? Hahaha! I knew it! This village is full of amazing people!"

He scratches the back of his neck with a warm laugh, completely at ease, radiant like the sun itself.
