# Chapter 939: Hashirama Senju's Underworld Tour!
Rōran.
It was like a jewel embedded in the vast desert of golden sand, impossible to ignore.
However, this bright pearl was often obscured by fierce sandstorms and gales.
The howling outside the window was like ghostly wails and wolf-like howls, adding a touch of irritation to one's heart.
"What!"
In a small meeting room, a shocked exclamation suddenly rang out.
Queen Sara looked at Minister Molotov across the table in disbelief.
"You want me to be the Ninja World's only Queen in the future?!"
"No, not me, but the World Government will support you and Rōran to become the Ninja World's leader and political center." After speaking, Minister Molotov took a sip of the fragrant coffee in her hand, its aroma rising with the heat: "Hmm~ your coffee here tastes quite good."
"This... then what about the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations?"
Queen Sara was somewhat at a loss at this moment.
"No need to worry, they have no place in the World Government's plan."
Minister Molotov put down his coffee cup and looked at the seemingly flustered young Queen with a smile in his eyes.
"There's no need to be so nervous. Your job is to cooperate with the World Government in managing the basic administrative affairs of this world and simultaneously implement the various policies issued by the World Government. Professional administrative officials will be there to assist and teach you how to do it."
"Is that so? That would be great..."
Queen Sara immediately let out a sigh of relief.
She truly didn't think she could manage the entire Ninja World by herself.
"Oh, there's one more thing I need to inform you about in advance."
"Although you will be the official leader of this 'Ninja World', this doesn't mean your status is supreme."
Minister Molotov spoke slowly and methodically in a calm tone.
"The World Government will formally announce the decision to establish the position of 'Planetary Governor' in the next Reverie."
"Planetary Governor..." Queen Sara pondered the name.
"A so-called Planetary Governor is an elite Celestial Dragon designated by the World Government, who graduated from the Celestial Dragon Holy Academy, to oversee a world under their banner."
"In other words, the entire planet will be their territory, and these Planetary Governors will be your direct superiors, the local leaders."
"According to the initially drafted rules, you can only submit reports directly to the World Government during the Reverie. At other times, you can only contact the World Government through the Planetary Governor."
The more Queen Sara listened, the more astonished she became, feeling as if a flood of information surged into her brain like a tide.
After she finally managed to fully digest it and barely understood Minister Molotov's words, she asked with doubt and surprise:
"Aren't Celestial Dragons beings who are above the law in your world? If such figures come to our world, won't they do as they please? What if they act recklessly?"
She began to feel afraid.
"Celestial Dragons are naturally World Nobles who are above all law, but..."
Minister Molotov looked at Queen Sara with a serious expression and said, "Planetary Governors need to comply with World Government law and various policies. If they violate them, they will face the punishment of being recalled to the Holy Land by the Five Elders and enjoying the rest of their lives in the 'Land of the Gods'."
"Enjoying the rest of their lives... punishment?"
Queen Sara was dumbfounded on the spot. She somewhat suspected she had misheard.
"That is to say, no matter how egregious the actions these Planetary Governors commit, the worst result is just being recalled to continue enjoying wealth and status?"
"Yes."
Minister Molotov nodded: "But please rest assured, these Planetary Governors absolutely do not wish to be forcibly recalled to the Holy Land. For them, that is an unacceptable outcome."
"Furthermore, you don't need to worry about being harmed or insulted by the Planetary Governors, because you otherworld leaders are protected by World Government law."
"At the same time, you also possess the right to dignity in front of most Celestial Dragons, such as not needing to kneel, refusing unreasonable demands, and prohibiting them from trespassing on private residences."
To be honest, Minister Molotov even envied these world leaders like Sara.
These privileges were essentially giving them the right to dialogue with the Planetary Governors.
It seemed those few above also didn't want those Planetary Governors to be too overbearing.
"This seems not bad..." Queen Sara softly murmured, lost in thought. Then she raised her head and asked again, "You said earlier that this matter will be announced at the next Reverie, so before that..."
Minister Molotov smiled: "That's right. Before Marine Calendar 1508, there will be no Planetary Governors. These five years are for you to prepare yourselves mentally."
"I see."
Queen Sara felt relieved. Five years would definitely be enough time.
[Thump thump thump!]
Just then, the door was knocked hard from the outside.
"Please come in."
As Minister Molotov's words fell.
A young official in a suit and leather shoes pushed the door open and entered.
"Minister, something happened with the Leaf Village Delegation!"
"Something happened?"
Minister Molotov asked with doubt.
After the conference ended earlier, Hashirama Senju, Orochimaru, and others were arranged to be sent to the Titan World for a tour, allowing them to see the sights of the otherworld with their own eyes and incidentally witness the World Government's grand military might.
"Yes, that 'First Hokage' Hashirama Senju just turned to ash and vanished right after passing through the 'Star Gate'. Only a tall man who had fallen into a coma was left on the ground."
"According to the current Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru, he is called Fūjin, but he doesn't know why he is still alive, because the sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation Technique is bound to die no matter what..."
The young official's face was full of doubt and surprise.
"What?"
Minister Molotov immediately stood up: "You send Queen Sara back first."
After speaking, he politely nodded to Sara, then walked quickly out of the room and headed to the underground palace.
On the other side.
In the Netherworld of the Titan World.
Hashirama Senju was looking around at the surroundings with a speechless expression.
A grayish-white sky without any starlight.
Looking out, all was a stretch of desolate sandy ground with pure white sand.
"What's going on?"
Hashirama Senju originally held a very expectant mood as he stepped into the 'Star Gate'.
But he didn't expect that right after entering, he found his body was burning, and the speed was particularly fast. He didn't even have time to go back and arrived in this place in the blink of an eye.
"The atmosphere is somewhat like the Netherworld, but it seems there's no such place in the Pure Land?"
Hashirama Senju rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
"That's right!"
Suddenly, he hit his right palm with his left fist and exclaimed loudly, "Could it be that this is the Pure Land of the place called 'Titan World'?"
Although it was a question, Hashirama Senju was basically certain in his heart.
It was probably because the Impure World Reincarnation Technique couldn't take effect in this world.
That's why it was forcibly dispelled, and his soul was sent to the Netherworld here.
"Then what should I do next..."
Hashirama Senju muttered to himself in distress while walking forward, stepping on the white sand.
"If I had known this would happen, I should have brought Tobirama. That way at least I'd have someone to discuss with..."
He just kept wandering aimlessly in the dead silent white sand sea, testing whether his abilities could be used normally.
The result was good. Neither Wood Release nor Ninjutsu had any problems.
This made Hashirama Senju feel relieved.
After all, as long as he had strength.
No matter where he was or what situation he encountered, he would have a method to deal with it.
"Hey!"
"That spirit over there, stop!"
Just then, a shout suddenly came from the distance.
"Someone?"
Hashirama Senju turned his head to look with surprise, only to find a group of giants wearing dark purple uniforms striding towards him.
Among them, the leading giant not only appeared taller and stronger, but also wore a purple coat draped over his shoulders.
"Why would I see the World Government's Coat of Justice in a place like this?!"
Although the color was a bit different, Hashirama Senju still recognized the coat style at a glance.
After all, he had really seen it too many times these past two days...
"I am Underworld Army Vice Admiral, 'Armored Titan' Reiner Braun of Yama's Underworld Palace! I am under orders to invite you to be a guest at Yama's Palace, Lord Hashirama Senju from the 'Ninja World'!"
