Seeing this, everyone agreed, so Arata nodded.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.

Ding! The host has successfully completed the given task.

Reward granted: Perfect Edo Tensei technique!

(No sacrifice needed. The summoned person will have 80% of their prime strength.)

Time seemed to freeze for a moment. A rush of information flooded Arata's mind—how to perform the jutsu, the hand signs, the mechanism behind it—everything.

Feeling this, Arata sighed.

"What happened, son?" Hashirama asked.

Arata snapped back to reality. He saw Hashirama happily chatting with Madara, Tobirama, and Izuna.

"Oh, nothing, Father. It's nothing. Let's go. The Daimyō has arrived, we need to attend the council meeting," Arata replied.

"Oh, right, we have to go," Hashirama nodded as he and the others started walking.

But unknown to Tobirama, and Izuna… the Daimyō was already under Madara's control. Only Hashirama,Madara and Arata knew the truth.

As they walked, Arata sighed again.

He realized something—the Edo Tensei he had received only required a person's DNA. That meant he could use even a drop of their blood or a single strand of hair to summon them back. Even the clothes they wore at the time of their death could be used to call them back from the afterlife.

Arata smiled, but then a thought hit him.

"Wait a minute… My brain shouldn't be able to handle so much information at once. How am I processing all this without my head exploding?and frying "

Just as he wondered this, the voice spoke again.

It is due to the host having the Gamer's Mind and Gamer's Body.

This is a privilege granted to the one chosen by the system.

"Oh… That makes sense," Arata thought.

As everyone listened, they nodded in agreement. Arata also nodded.

"Ah, Senju Hashirama, the clan head of the Senju, and Uchiha Madara, the clan head of the Uchiha. Please, take a seat," said the Fire Daimyō, Kato.

He spoke normally, completely unaware that he was under Genjutsu. Hashirama, Madara, and Tobirama and Izuna smiled, nodded, and took their seats respectfully. Hashirama and Madara had to respected the Daimyō—after all, he was the rightful ruler of the Land of Fire. Konoha might be strong, but they still needed financial support from the Daimyō. Without his funding, the village would struggle with resources, and the economy would collapse.

The Daimyō continued, "I have no issue with establishing the Hidden Village. Our country needs protection, after all. I am prepared to provide financial support and resources for your village, but in return, Konoha must protect the Land of Fire. That is your duty."

He paused for a moment before adding, "And I have one request. I want some elite shinobi stationed here to guard the Land of Fire. If anything happens in the future, and our land is destroyed, we won't be able to provide you with financial or material support anymore. So, this is a reasonable request, right?"

Silence filled the room as everyone began discussing among themselves. The logic was clear—the Land of Fire was paying for the village's resources and protection, so it was only fair that Konoha provided security in return. Even Hashirama understood that it was a reasonable demand.

"Yes, it's possible. Your request makes sense," Hashirama said with a nod.

He knew that Arata had given them the idea to control the Daimyō to prevent unnecessary war. However, Hashirama had made sure that the Daimyō's interests wouldn't harm Konoha. The Daimyō couldn't use the village for his personal grudges.

To ensure this, Hashirama had asked Madara to implant this thought deep into the Daimyō's mind. With Mito's help, they had created a special seal. Mito didn't know exactly what she was helping with, but with Arata's guidance, they completed the seal. This Genjutsu would pass down through the Daimyō's family, preventing future rulers from turning Konoha into their personal war machine.

Madara stood up and spoke. "Yes, your request is reasonable. But if you have specific tasks, you can send them to our village. We will dispatch shinobi to complete those missions, and in return, you can compensate us accordingly. As for everything else, we have no issues with your terms," Madara said firmly.

Since he and Hashirama had been chosen as the village's leaders, it was their responsibility to negotiate. Seeing this, everyone in the room focused on them. The message was clear—Hashirama and Madara were the faces of Konoha. They were its leaders.

The Daimyō observed them and then spoke. "So, you must be the Hokage, correct? The ones chosen by the people?"

Madara shook his head slightly. "Not exactly. I am one of the Hokage, but this village has two leaders. I am the Hokage, and Hashirama, the co-founder, is also Hokage. Since we both built this village together, we will rule together. Hashirama is the Shadow Hokage, while I am the Hokage. We share equal power and authority over Konoha," Madara explained.

The Daimyō thought for a moment before nodding. "Since you have no objections, neither do I. Let's finalize this agreement."

He then presented an official document. "This contract will officially recognize who the Hokage is. As both of you are leading the village, you must both sign it."

Kato took his pen, added a few details, and then handed the document to them. Hashirama and Madara both signed their names.

And with that, it was official—Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara had become the First Hokage and the First Shadow Hokage of Konoha.
