Tobirama Senju: Ah! I'm furious! Bastard, bastard! Hiruzen Sarutobi! How could you be so weak? They've fucking bullied us right up to our doorstep! They've fucking shit on our necks! And you could still compromise? What kind of Hokage were you? You actually handed over one of your own village's comrades! Hiruzen Sarutobi, you despicable bastard! Fuck your ancestors!
Among all the Hokage Konoha had ever had, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was without a doubt a true hardliner!
Unlike the First Hokage, who was indecisive, Tobirama had always advocated taking a tough stance, whether in internal or external affairs!
In his view, if Kumogakure dared to provoke Konoha like this, then Konoha should have fought them with everything they had! Let's see if they would still dare to strut around Konoha afterward!
Hashirama Senju: How could this be? How could it turn out like this? Did they really hand over one of their own village's comrades? Third Hokage! How could this be?
Tobirama Senju: That bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi! I trained him, trusted him, and handed the position of Hokage over to him! Was this how he served as Hokage? That damned bastard!
Hizashi Hyuga: Please calm down, Second Hokage. The Third Hokage didn't actually want to do this either. It was just that, at the time...
Tobirama Senju: You're actually speaking up for him? Are you an idiot? Even if there were a thousand, ten thousand reasons, none of them would excuse what he did!
Hizashi Hyuga: But Second Hokage, look at how prosperous Konoha is now! It was precisely that compromise back then that bought Konoha time to develop!
Without that compromise, there probably wouldn't be such a thriving Konoha Village today!
Tobirama Senju: Bullshit!! You're a fucking moron! What meaning does prosperity like this even have? Is prosperity supposed to be bought through compromise? If so, then I'd rather not have that prosperity!
Fugaku Uchiha: Oh my, Second Hokage, you can't put it that way. After all, Konoha's higher-ups aren't entirely without merit. Besides compromising, they're also very skilled at brainwashing!
Tobirama Senju: What did you say?
Fugaku Uchiha: Just look at Hizashi Hyuga, and you'll understand. He was sold out, yet he's still here helping them count their money. He was treated as a disposable pawn, yet he's still speaking well of them! His brain's been scrubbed bald, and he still feels great about himself! So think about it, Second Hokage—how terrifying is that kind of brainwashing ability?
Madara Uchiha: Now that you mention it, Hiruzen Sarutobi's brainwashing ability really is terrifying! When it comes to brainwashing, I, Madara Uchiha, would call him the strongest!
Fugaku Uchiha never passed up an opportunity to criticize Konoha's higher-ups. Whenever he got the chance, he smeared them with all his might!
More importantly, he was speaking the truth, leaving no room for rebuttal!
And most importantly, Fugaku Uchiha did look down somewhat on the Hyuga Clan! In his view, the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan were known as Konoha's two great noble clans!
Yet the Hyuga Clan had willingly become lapdogs for Konoha's higher-ups. It was truly disgraceful for this so-called noble clan of Konoha!
Hizashi Hyuga: Fugaku Uchiha! You've got the nerve to say that? If your Uchiha Clan hadn't kept trying to stir up trouble back then—kept trying to seize power and rebel against your superiors—would we have needed to compromise with Kumogakure?
Fugaku Uchiha: Konoha was the one suppressing us first! If Konoha hadn't kept suppressing us, would we have wanted to seize power?
Hizashi Hyuga: Heh! What a high-sounding excuse! Wasn't it all just because of your ambition?
Fugaku Uchiha: Our Uchiha Clan isn't like your Hyuga Clan! We don't have a habit of being people's dogs! You big idiot who got sold out and still helped count their money!
Hizashi Hyuga: You!!!
Hizashi Hyuga realized that he seemed completely unable to argue with Fugaku Uchiha. This guy hadn't seemed so talkative when he was alive, so how had his tongue become so sharp after death?
Had he been suppressed in the Pure Land for too long? Had he kept everything bottled up with no one to talk to, so now he had become this chatty?
His mouth was practically fitted with an electric motor—it simply wouldn't stop!
Hizashi Hyuga: Hmph, I won't argue with you!
Fugaku Uchiha: Hmph, you big idiot!
Tobirama Senju: Enough, both of you, stop talking! The Uchiha weren't responsible for this! Even if someone had to be blamed, it couldn't be pinned on the Uchiha Clan! I can only blame myself for entrusting the position to the wrong person back then! I misjudged Hiruzen Sarutobi! Had I known this would happen, I would've been better off handing the position of Hokage to Danzo!
Hashirama Senju: Tobirama, you don't need to blame yourself too much. This wasn't your fault...
Tobirama Senju: Big Brother, it was my fault! How did I manage to teach such a thing? And I even handed the position of Hokage over to him! My lifelong reputation—truly, I've lost all face today!
Had I known this would happen, I wouldn't have given the position of Hokage to Hiruzen Sarutobi. Even if I had given it to Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, or Homura, something like this wouldn't have happened...
Makoto Ito: I'm afraid the Second Hokage will be disappointed again! You should know that this matter was unanimously approved by all of them~~~~
Tobirama Senju: Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Hizashi Hyuga: But Second Hokage, that is the truth!
Tobirama Senju: Fuck!!!
At that moment, Tobirama Senju had fallen into despair. He had no idea what he could even say anymore and could only spit out a single, "Fuck!"
What kind of things had he raised back then?
He had painstakingly selected disciples and trained them for half his life, only to produce a bunch of things like this?
Hizashi Hyuga: Second Hokage, don't be too angry. After all, the Third Hokage sincerely wanted what was best for Konoha. At the very least, he managed Konoha quite well, didn't he?
Minato Namikaze: That's right, Second Hokage! Judging from the results, the Third Hokage managed Konoha rather well!
Although the way he handled certain matters may not have suited your wishes, there was no denying that the Third Hokage truly was an outstanding Hokage!
After several people persuaded him like that, Tobirama Senju finally calmed down...
Tobirama Senju: All right, all right, stop talking! I... I... I'll try to look at his good side!
As they continued chatting and rambling on in the group, they finally figured out the reason behind Hizashi Hyuga's death.
At that moment, Makoto Ito had also followed his class and lined up on the playground!
Looking across the entire playground, there were several hundred students, from the upper grades down to the lower grades...
