The News Shirou Emiya Had Finally Been Waiting For

Konoha Village.

The crisis in Konoha has not been completely resolved.

But at least it can relieve them of excessive tension.

Hashirama Senju's hands remained clasped together, his entire body surging with Sage Art Chakra, ready to apply a new seal to the suppressed Shirou Emiya at any moment.

"Now..."

"What should we do?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shirou Emiya was crouching under the torii gate, then turned to his teacher, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju: "Shall we release the Impure World Reincarnation from Lord Shirou and allow his soul to return to the Underworld to rest?"

"It's no use."

Tobirama Senju shook his head, not believing that the Impure World Reincarnation could still be broken. "The Impure World Reincarnation on him must have gone out of control, because when I resurrected Lord Shirou using the Impure World Reincarnation technique last time, I already knew how to break the Impure World Reincarnation, which allows the Impure World Reincarnation person to break free from the caster's control and continue to act..."

Click!

The sound of a torii gate breaking suddenly reached their ears, and the sound immediately made everyone present tense again!

Hashirama Senju immediately cast another spell, releasing torii gates of the Myriad Divine Gates once more, suppressing Shirou Emiya's figure in place!

"So, are we just going to let things remain at a stalemate like this?"

Jiraiya felt a vague unease.

"Other Sealing Jutsu might not be useful either..."

Tobirama Senju shook his head, his gaze fixed on Shirou Emiya's figure, as if he could see the terrifying soul hidden beneath that Impure World Reincarnation body.

Shirou Emiya's soul is too terrifying!

Even the Death Reaper of the Underworld dared not defy his soul!

But...

Death Reaper is not entirely useless.

At least it can force Shirou Emiya to leave his Impure World Reincarnation body.

Tobirama Senju was quite certain that his Dead Demon Consuming Seal had not succeeded, but he had still managed to force Shirou Emiya's soul back to the Underworld.

"There's still only one spell..."

Tobirama Senju recalled the scene he witnessed before his death and said in a deep voice, "Use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal force his soul back to the Underworld..."

But...

The Dead Demon Consuming Seal requires a sacrifice.

Once the Dead Demon Consuming Seal is used, the soul will inevitably be devoured and sealed by the Death Reaper as the price. In the future, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to help them break free from the Death Reaper's control in order to use them, like Orochimaru did.

Fortunately.

The Hokage is never afraid of sacrifice.

None of the Hokage present were afraid to sacrifice their lives, not even the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, who was once considered the most cunning.

This is a responsibility.

It is also a realization they had long ago come to.

"Let me do it."

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stepped forward and said calmly, "I have been preparing for this day for a long time."

And...

Only he can perform this technique.

Because those Impure World Reincarnation are essentially the dead, they cannot attract the arrival of the Death Reaper (Death Reaper), who is only interested in the souls of the living.

"Sandaime-sama!"

"Old man!"

Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya immediately tensed up.

"Monkey ..."

A look of relief appeared on the faces of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, relieved that the child they had once favored had grown into a qualified Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his disciple Jiraiya: "Jiraiya, from today onwards, you are the Fifth Hokage of Konoha."

Even today.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could only be entrusted to Jiraiya.

Because Konoha simply couldn't find any other suitable candidates.

"Ah?"

Jiraiya was caught off guard. He instinctively looked at Tsunade and suddenly suggested, "Wouldn't Tsunade be suitable too?"

Certainly.

Tsunade would indeed be a good fit.

However, Tsunade's current condition is very problematic.

However, when Shirou Emiya's identity changed, Tsunade's heart nearly collapsed, Sarutobi Hiruzen was unsure whether Tsunade could still take over the position of Hokage.

"I suggest that Tsunade succeed as the Fifth Hokage."

Jiraiya didn't deny this idea, but he offered a rather convincing reason. He looked at the distraught Tsunade and said, "If Tsunade takes on the responsibility of protecting Konoha, she will definitely be able to become strong again..."

Jiraiya did indeed have his own selfish motives.

Firstly, he naturally didn't want to be bound by the position of Hokage. He needed to continue to devote his energy to educating Naruto Uzumaki and to find new ways to guide his disciples Nagato and Konan back to the right path.

Secondly, he naturally didn't want to see Tsunade's future bleak. He knew how much weight Shirou Emiya held in Tsunade's heart, and only by filling Tsunade's heart with another being of equal weight could Tsunade be cheered up.

In the past...

Tsunade is merely carrying on the will of Shirou Emiya.

Now that Shirou Emiya's will has been shattered within her, the only way to restore it is to find a way to instill a new will within her.

Fortunately, in this world, there is no one more suitable than the Will of Fire passed down through generations in the Hokage.

"..."

After thinking for a while, considering both the interests and future of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly realized that Jiraiya's idea might be the best choice for Konoha.

Saying some unpleasant things...

The current Tsunade may no longer be able to face anything about Shirou Emiya, yet her life is filled with traces of Shirou Emiya. She may even no longer be able to become a medical ninja or a suitable ninja.

If we follow Jiraiya's idea...

Once Tsunade regains her strength, it will be crucial to Konoha. The only question is whether Tsunade can regain her strength by becoming Hokage.

"Perhaps... it's for the best."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hashirama Senju and the others, asking for their opinions, "First Hokage, Second, Minato, what do you think?"

"This is a matter for your generation."

Hashirama Senju waved his hand dismissively, not caring much about such matters. However, a fatal thought immediately occurred to him, "Wait, if Tsuna becomes Hokage, won't he cause the village to lose?"

"..."

Everyone present couldn't help but shudder.

No, it won't.

Jiraiya shook his head. He knew it was a joke, but his gaze fell on Shirou Emiya Myriad Divine Gates: "Actually, Tsunade hasn't gambled in a long time, and she's almost given up drinking in recent years..."

All of this...

All of this was thanks to Shirou Emiya.

However, Shirou Emiya was unmoved by this.

"Lord Shirou."

Jiraiya felt a little heavy-hearted. He wanted an answer from Shirou Emiya: "Why must you use extremely terrifying methods to create what you perceive as peace?"

"If you could do it yourselves..."

Shirou Emiya looked up at Jiraiya.

"I don't need to go through all that trouble."

"..."

Jiraiya's throat tightened, as if he had just thought of something. He immediately tried to persuade Shirou Emiya further, "But there must be others who can do it, like Naruto. Don't you also believe in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy? Don't you also think Naruto is the Child of Prophecy?"

"If it's Gamamaru's prophecy..."

Shirou Emiya looked at Jiraiya and suddenly asked, "What do you think... Nagato won't become the child of the prophecy?"

"..."

Jiraiya was speechless.

Because Nagato and Naruto Uzumaki were both his disciples.

Nagato even now has the idea of changing the Shinobi World!

But...

Nagato's idea came from Shirou Emiya!

Jiraiya had come to believe that Nagato and Naruto Uzumaki were the children of prophecy, but he could not accept it no matter what. He had to find a way to change Nagato's mind!

Once Sarutobi Hiruzen uses the Dead Demon Consuming Seal force Shirou Emiya's soul back to the Underworld, he will go to Nagato and persuade that disciple to abandon Akatsuki's War Weapon Project!

"Jiraiya".

Shirou Emiya stopped Jiraiya and calmly said, "Gamamaru told you a lot of things, which is why you've been so wary of me, right?"

"Yes..."

Jiraiya had no choice but to nod, his heart filled with boundless curiosity. "There's something very strange about me. The Great Toad Sage told me that Lord Shirou also took extreme actions for peace in Ancient Era... was it the Akatsuki's War Weapon Project?"

"If you want to know, I can tell you."

Shirou Emiya shook his head, his expression unchanged as he recounted his actions from Ancient Era: "Back then, I simply wanted to kill all the disciples of the Ninja Sect, that is, to kill everyone in that era who possessed Chakra, to prevent Chakra from being lost..."

"!!!"

Jiraiya's spirit is in great danger!

Even the First Hokage and the Second Hokage were startled at the same time!

Kill those who possess Chakra...

Isn't this the ancestor who killed them all?

This Ancient Era medical ninja actually went to such extremes back in Ancient Era!

Such a secret...

That's truly unheard of!

But this secret is just a little too scary!

Compared to Shirou Emiya's indiscriminate killing, the Akatsuki's War Weapon Project seemed so gentle and lovely to them at this moment!

"I really didn't expect that..."

Jiraiya knew that Shirou Emiya would not lie about this, but he shook his head and sighed, "The Medical Saint who has been revered in the Shinobi World for thousands of years actually has such a past..."

"Nothing is off-limits for the sake of lasting peace, just like your claims of doing anything for Konoha..."

"But..."

"Ashura".

"The ancestors of the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan."

Shirou Emiya looked at Hashirama Senju as if gazing at an old friend. "He convinced me back then, making me give up that idea..."

"..."

The crowd felt a little more relaxed.

Although they knew that Shirou Emiya's plan to kill all those with Chakra in Ancient Era had failed, hearing someone persuade Shirou Emiya to give up still put their minds at ease about the dangerous situation their ancestors faced.

"Ashura made a promise to me..."

"If people in this world understand each other, there will certainly be no more wars."

"I believe him."

Shirou Emiya reached out and touched his eye sockets, stroking the Rinnegan: "I also used the power of the Rinnegan to revive all the Ninja Sect disciples I killed, allowing the Chakra of this world to flow again..."

"..."

Jiraiya suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Even the Hokage felt uneasy listening to this. They suddenly understood Shirou Emiya's thoughts at this moment because they all knew the history of the Shinobi World.

Regardless of the Warring States period over a thousand years...

Or perhaps it was the birth of the Three Shinobi World War.

People of later generations...

Indeed, this disappointed Shirou Emiya, an Ancient Era ancestor.

"I'm so... sorry."

Hashirama Senju somewhat honest; he earnestly kowtowed to Shirou Emiya, apologizing for failing to fulfill his ancestor's promise.

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others could only stand there, too ashamed to utter a sound.

"..."

Tobirama Senju felt only guilt for a moment before immediately grasping a crucial point. "Wait... the Rinnegan has the ability to bring the dead back to life!"

"Lord Shirou, Nagato is in trouble!"

Just as Tobirama Senju was thinking of this, a voice appeared at Shirou Emiya's feet, and a Yin-Yang Black and White Faced Monster and two yin-yang symbol emerged, reporting to Shirou Emiya a message that the man had been waiting for.

"Danzo stole Nagato's Rinnegan!"

"Danzo?"

"Danzo!"

A look of surprise appeared on the faces of everyone present.

Sarutobi Hiruzen especially shocked and furious at this moment. He did not expect that when everyone was fighting to the death here, and even when he was prepared to sacrifice himself, Shimura Danzo would secretly try to steal the Rinnegan!

That bastard...

What exactly are they trying to do by seizing the Rinnegan at this time?
