Fire Nation, Konoha Village
Inside the Hokage Building, Hokori, who was sitting in the Hokage's seat, had a headache at the moment. He was looking at the pieces of information in front of him, especially regarding the movements of the Mist, Rock, and Cloud Shinobi. The start of the Third Ninja War was approaching.
Since traveling to the world of Hokage, Hokori had relied on his ability of foresight and his identity as a civilian ninja. He practiced ninjutsu, showed talent, learned from Tsunade, and saved Uzumaki Kushina. At the same time, he secretly planned and secured the position of Hokage in advance of the third war.
Now, Hokori's strength has reached the peak of Kage-level, but it's not enough to face the monsters that would come in the later stages. Even in the upcoming three battles, having only peak Kage-level strength isn't enough to end the war single-handedly.
Without any cheat, getting this far had already set a benchmark for travelers.
Just when Hokori was pondering how to handle the Third Ninja War, a series of inexplicable mechanical sounds suddenly echoed in his mind:
'First Hokage Senju Hashirama joined the group chat.'
'Second Hokage Senju Tobirama joined the group chat.'
'Fifth Hokage Tsunade joined the group chat.'
At that moment, a light flashed in front of Hokori's eyes, and he found himself in a vast white world with a huge conference table like that of the Knights of the Round Table.
**[Welcome to the Konoha Hokage Chat Group]**
*[Here, group members can exchange information, intelligence, supplies, cross-boundary help, etc. You are the group owner selected by the chat group to automatically become the group owner.]*
*[The number of people in the group reaches five to open the world leaderboard, and the number of people reaches ten to start the mode of conquering the heavens!]*
*[The group leader has the ability to pull people, call meetings, and kick people!]*
As he read the words, Hokori understood his new ability.
"Konoha Hokage chat group~" he mused. "Compared to chat groups from various worlds, this one is limited to the Hokage world. But there is a mode of conquering the heavens!"
Although it wasn't quite the same as the various chat group novels he had seen in his previous life, it wasn't too bad. Unlike other chat groups where members had different agendas, here, all members were Hokages of Konoha. In future endeavors to conquer the heavens and worlds, they could work together.
The only thing that made Hokori feel a bit regretful was that this cheat had come too late. He had already become Hokage, and now he had this ability.
Looking at the cheat, Hokori's eyes were drawn to the current list in the group:
**[Fourth Hokage — Hokori (group leader)]**
**[First Hokage — Senju Hashirama (group member)]**
**[Second Hokage — Senju Tobirama (group member)]**
**[Fifth Hokage — Tsunade (group member)]**
Surprisingly, three Hokages were pulled in, all from the Senju clan. But he couldn't help but think how interesting it would be to replace Tsunade with the Third Generation, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Letting the First and Second Generation know that the Senju clan was wiped out by their good apprentice would probably make the Second Generation want to skin Sarutobi alive.
After thoroughly understanding the cheat, Hokori pressed the button to call a meeting:
**[Ding! The meeting was initiated by the group owner, Fourth Hokage Hokori.]**
*[Initiating a meeting with group members!]*
*[After the meeting starts, Hokage's own consciousness will reach the round table meeting and talk face to face.]*
*[A meeting is held every three months, and all members of the group must attend.]*
With the system beeping and reminding all the matters of the meeting, light gates appeared in the space instantly.

*Konoha, Year 10*
Inside the Konoha Village Senju residence, First Hokage Senju Hashirama was slightly weak and half lying on the bed, with Uzumaki Mito by his side to care for him and Senju Tobirama visiting.
"Ahem, cough, what's going on in the village recently?" Hashirama asked, looking at Senju Tobirama, who was also worried.
Regarding Hashirama's question, Tobirama pondered for a moment and then said, "Don't worry about it, brother. The most important thing now is your health! Other villages are likely watching your condition closely. If it worsens, the ninja world might fall into chaos again."
Hearing Tobirama's answer, Hashirama couldn't help but look at his body, full of helplessness. Since the battle with Madara, his body had been deteriorating. At this pace, he didn't have much time left. He feared that as soon as he died, the ninja world would descend into turmoil again.
Just as Hashirama was about to speak to Tobirama, a mechanical notification sounded in his mind:
**[You have joined the Konoha Hokage chat group]**
**[The group owner Hokori has called a round table meeting, please attend on time!]**
Hearing the voice in his head, Hashirama was taken aback. He looked around the room, but there was nothing unusual. It was impossible for someone to cast illusions on him without realizing it.
Realizing that neither Mito nor Tobirama heard anything, Hashirama, curious, noticed the first line:
'Hokage chat group~'
'Does that mean it's all Hokage?'
While Hashirama was still pondering, the reminder sounded again:
**[The group owner Hokori has called a round table meeting, please attend on time!]**
Hearing the voice in his head, Hashirama didn't think too much. Whatever it was, he decided to go in and see for himself. If there was a danger to Konoha, he would handle it himself.
"Join in!" As soon as Hashirama said it, colorful rays of light instantly enveloped him.
