Sarutobi Hiruzen Wants to Kill Himself? The Trial Begins, Tsunade's Tears Are the Killing Blow!

"What an interesting sight, Teacher Sarutobi."

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen lower his head, not daring to look up at all, Orochimaru chuckled mockingly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes filled with disbelief.

Shikaku Nara was actually attacking him?

After receiving Tobirama's acknowledgment, Hashirama Senju asked with a puzzled expression.

"Um...
