"Brother, can you be serious for once? This is Konoha Village!"

"The One-Tailed Shukaku has already stormed into the center of Konoha Village and is causing chaos!?!"

After shouting at Hashirama with a frustrated expression, Tobirama quickly turned around and spoke to Hiruzen, who was standing guard in the distance.

"Monkey, enough chit-chat. I'm currently completely out of control. I'm about to unleash a series of my signature ninjutsu on you. I hope you haven't wasted these years and can handle my attacks well!"

As for the One-Tailed Shukaku in the distance, send ninjas from the Uzumaki Clan to seal it as soon as possible!

You must gather all the elite ninjas here; only then will you have a chance to even slightly contend with Hashirama's brother!

The techniques I left behind back then have caused Konoha a great deal of trouble today.

However, no matter what, Konoha must not fall today, much less fall at the hands of me and my brother!

As soon as he finished speaking, Tobirama's hands couldn't help but begin forming hand seals.

As for what hand seal he formed?

Of course, it's Tobirama's favorite field-clearing skill Water Style: Waterfall Technique.

In the blink of an eye, the Hokage Tower was about to be swept away by the raging flood when Hashirama suddenly clapped his hands together in the Hashirama.

"Wood Release: Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

In an instant, an endless forest burst forth from the flood, directly absorbing all the boundless waves.

At the same time, Minato Namikaze frowned and raised his hands in frustration.

"Third Hokage, I am about to launch my attack. I will then conceal the Flying Thunder God Seal on a series of tree trunks around us."

This is terrible. Is he really going to cause Konoha so much trouble after his death?

Moreover, the person controlling me is actually Orochimaru- senpai, so Orochimaru- senpai has finally come to this point?

As he spoke, Minato Namikaze subtly released the Flying Thunder God seal and turned back to trying to figure out how to swim.

Unable to escape the control of the Impure World, it's impossible to avoid participating in the battle.

But if it's just about paddling as much as possible, then all you need to do is have the right mindset.

Thus, in the middle of the forest where the Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence, Minato Namikaze's figure appeared and disappeared intermittently. Since he was going to set up the Flying Thunder God anyway, he might as well set up as many Flying Thunder God as possible.

If I unleash ten thousand or eight thousand Flying Thunder God Seals on him, it will be difficult for him to lose this battle.

What? Orochimaru said I lost before I could even finish unleashing the Flying Thunder God Technique?

There's nothing we can do about it; their skill prefixes are just that long!

While secretly paddling his boat, Minato Namikaze looked worriedly at Shukaku in the distance.

Currently, it seems that Gamabunta is the one facing Shukaku.

But why is it Gamabunta who's the boss?

How long has it been since I died? How is my son? Has Naruto grown up well?

Why wasn't it Nine-Tails) fighting against the One-Tails? Hasn't Naruto properly mastered Nine-Tails's abilities yet?

This is really worrying...

While Minato Namikaze was worrying, Tobirama, who was already Tobirama a fierce battle with Hiruzen, was talking as they fought.

"It seems that the person controlling us behind the scenes doesn't want to annihilate Konoha in one battle. He actually kept Hashirama away from the battlefield and chose me to deal with you."

Luckily it was me, Monkey. Otherwise, even if you hadn't turned into this old man, you would never have been able to hold your own against your elder brother for even a moment.

I just heard the Fourth Hokage, whom I don't recognize, say that the person controlling us is Orochimaru- senpai.

So, was this the work of a traitor?

A traitor who can master the Impure World Reincarnation technique, monkey, could this be an important disciple of yours or someone else's?

This is really...

"Monkey, as Hokage, you must reflect on your actions!"

At this point, Tobirama casually kicked the Enma away, then unleashed a barrage of water waves with a palm strike, sending the monkey flying.

After defeating the monkeys, Tobirama took a moment to look back.

"Where did the Nine-Tails go? Did my sister-in-law die too?"

Who's controlling the Nine-Tails now? Let alone the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki betraying them too, that would be...!"

"The Nine-Tails- Tails Jinchuriki of this generation should be my son, Second Hokage."

Also, Third Hokage, how is Naruto? Is he growing up well again?

Minato Namikaze abruptly interrupted Tobirama, then looked expectantly at Hiruzen, who had been knocked away.

Sensing the presence of the Flying Thunder God, Tobirama gave Minato Namikaze a deep look, then turned back to give the monkey an admiring glance.

Although I don't know how well the disciple has performed over the years, at least the Fourth Hokage chosen by the monkey was indeed excellent.

A ninja who can use the Flying Thunder God as skillfully as I can should indeed be suited for a position like Hokage, just like I am.

It's a pity that the Fourth Hokage died so young.

Just as Tobirama was pondering, Hashirama had been standing silently in the distance, suddenly moved closer to the group.

"Hey monkey, tell me quick, where did Tsunade go?"

Why are there only toads from Mount Myōboku on the battlefield? Where is my sister Katsuyu from Shikkotsu Forest?

And also, the Fourth Hokage died so young, and you're so old now, so what is the Fifth Hokage doing?

Was the Fifth Hokage the one who controlled the toads of Mount Myōboku?

I don't see anyone!

"This... Hashirama!"

Even though it was a crucial moment in the battle, Hiruzen, who had just regained his balance and landed on the ground, still managed a helpless, bitter smile.

"Tsunade... she's currently doing field research in the Shinobi World..."

That kid has already made a name for himself as the biggest fat sheep in the Shinobi World...

"Haha, as expected of Tsunade! I knew she wasn't very good at gambling. Although she could win a couple of rounds from me occasionally, it was only because I wasn't serious!"

But then again..

Suddenly, the First Hokage's gaze toward Hiruzen was no longer as innocent as before, but instead held the gaze truly befitting a god of ninjas.

With a sharp gaze fixed on Hiruzen, Hashirama, enunciating each word clearly.

"Why is it that even a weakling like Shukaku can act like a tyrant in our village!"

Where is the Hokage after you? Did he die on the battlefield? Why didn't I see the Shukaku fighting Shukaku?

Is it possible that in Konoha Village right now, besides you, there is no other strong person who can stand before us?

If that's the case, are you going to leave the innocent villagers to face the tragedy that's about to unfold on their own?

Boom!!!

Just as Hashirama speaking, a startlingly Quake Shock suddenly echoed from afar.

Immediately afterwards, everyone, including Jian, involuntarily looked towards the direction from which the deafening roar seemed to shatter the sky!

Under the gaze of countless people, the enormous Shukaku, as big as a mountain, was slammed into the sky by the extremely turbulent airflow!

Immediately afterwards, the airflow carried Shukaku Luffy into the distance.

Rumble! Rumble!

Shukaku, out of control, crashed into mountains, shattering rivers and forests.

A moment later, no one present could see any trace of Shukaku anymore!

Hashirama eyesight was the best, widened his eyes slightly.

A moment later, Hashirama opened his mouth in surprise and said.

"Hiss, that was a powerful move!"

If I'm not mistaken, Shukaku sent flying back to the Land of Wind by that one palm strike!

This... what a vast distance!

"Sharp!"

Konoha Village, Tobirama to the side, finally revealed a satisfied smile. As expected, Konoha now had more powerful juniors than he had anticipated; this was the Konoha Village that should be like.

Now that I have such a junior, I can rest assured. Next, I will set up a few tactics to help that promising junior barely hold off my brother, while trying to kill the controller of the Impure World Reincarnation first!

With renewed enthusiasm, Tobirama became more serious about his feelings.

Meanwhile, in the distance.

Orochimaru stood there, completely stunned, staring in the direction where Shukaku had disappeared.

"That... that is?"

Just one move?

Once... a palm strike?!

Suddenly, Orochimaru understood why his teacher had looked at him that way!

Could it be that the teacher wasn't lying, and that the new Hokage's assistant really did have the power to easily defeat the teacher?

With his taijutsu skills already this strong, the teacher would never choose someone who only knows taijutsu as the next Hokage.

So, if that guy uses ninjutsu, then...?!?

The moment he thought of this, Orochimaru stopped his daydreaming.

Because, near the four Hokage in the distance, a pitch-black hole suddenly appeared!

Upon seeing the black hole, Tobirama paused for a moment, then revealed a satisfied smile.

This must be the junior who defeated Shukaku. Let me see the most outstanding young talent in Konoha today!

As Tobirama waited expectantly, Gawain slowly emerged from the black hole, greeting everyone with a hearty smile.

"Ha, what a lively scene! Five Hokage have actually gathered together."

Hiruzen, those two over there are the First and Second Hokage, right?

So, that black-haired guy is my good Sun Tzu?

"Ha???"

Gawain's inexplicable words shocked Tobirama.

He could understand the Fifth Hokage, but why was this junior addressing a senior like the Monkey King by his first name?

Most importantly, why did this junior dare to call his elder brother his Sun Tzu?!

Thinking of this, Tobirama looked at Hashirama with a face full of anger, wanting to persuade his older brother, who would definitely be angry, to be gentler with Konoha.

Although the junior is infuriating, his skills are really good. If you hit him gently, you might teach him a lesson.

The next moment, Tobirama saw his elder brother open his arms to Gawain with a look of surprise on his face.

"What?! The Fifth Hokage is actually my Sun Tzu?"

Are you still so young? Yes... wait...

I think my only granddaughter, Tsunade, is still alive, right?

What's going on with the Sun Tzu /grandson thing???

As soon as he finished speaking, Hashirama scratched his Hashirama in confusion, then instinctively clapped his hands together hard!

"Something's wrong, I'm in trouble. The guy controlling me is forcing me to unleash my next ninjutsu!"

I must have misheard you. You must be Tsunade's man. If that's the case, then you are indeed my Sun Tzu.

Wait, Wood Release: Wood Release - Wood Human Technique!

Wood Release: The Flower Tree World Emergence!

Also, Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!

So much? They value this kid that much? Hehe, Tsunade married a really good man!!!

While making jokes, Hashirama uncontrollably summoned a series of large creatures.

In the blink of an eye, the wooden dragon, nearly the size of Shukaku, gracefully coiled around the wooden figure, which was many times larger, while the wooden figure charged towards Gawain, stepping on the rapidly blooming flowering trees.

Looking at the arriving First Hokage, Gawain gently shook his head.

"The number of Wood Release users is too large. If we fight like this in the village, the losses will be too great."

Hiruzen, let's find another place to deal with them!

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain clapped his hands hard.

"The Amenominaka."

In the blink of an eye, Gawain incorporated everything present into his own world.

Immediately afterwards, Gawain moved everything to the Forest of Death outside the village.

The place isn't far from the village, so it won't interrupt his plan to perform a miracle in front of others.

Upon reappearing in the world, Hashirama, finally revealed an expression of disbelief.

"That feeling just now... it felt like the Pure Land!"

It's like another world!

"Brother, you're not mistaken, that really felt like another world."

At first, I thought he was using a space-time ninjutsu that was even more profound than the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But now it seems this junior is even more outrageous than we imagined!

"Yes, I lost all my Flying Thunder God seals for a moment. The sudden spatial entanglement made me briefly lose my connection with the guidance of the Flying Thunder God."

Logically speaking, I should be able to sense that same feeling as long as I'm in the Shinobi World!

"And I just recently experienced the feeling of being able to sever the Flying Thunder God Mark!"

At this point, Minato Namikaze seriously raised his shuriken for the first time.

Looking at Gawain's smiling face, Minato Namikaze scrutinized him for a moment, then shook his head and nodded.

"The feeling you give me is not that of the masked man from before. That man felt much more familiar to me than you do."

In any case, your ninjutsu is very similar to that of the masked guy, and they both have the same effect!

Who are you!"

As he asked, Minato Namikaze raised his right hand, and the Rasengan, a ninjutsu Rasengan without hand seals, was ready in the blink of an eye.

Looking at Minato's serious Minato Namikaze, Gawain smiled slightly and said.

"Please excuse me, it's rare to see everyone at the same time, and I actually forgot to introduce myself."

"I'm not from this era. I first appeared in the Shinobi World about a thousand years ago."

At this point, Gawain raised his right hand and gently aimed it at the giant wooden figure with a wooden dragon wrapped around its arm that was rushing towards him at high speed.

He gathered his strength slightly and then struck out with his palm again, muttering something under his breath.

"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"

Clang!!!

With a deafening roar like a great bell, the wooden man and the wooden dragon were both reduced to dust by a single palm strike.

Even Hashirama's body was destroyed in that instant.

Fine grains of sand gathered in the air and then settled around Tobirama and Minato Namikaze.

Seeing his brother constantly being reshaped, Tobirama's expression changed completely for the first time.

"How could this be... even my brother was defeated."

Although the elder brother's condition is not as perfect as it was when he was alive, wooden figures of that size are now very rare!

"How... how is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. It seems that after our deaths, Konoha has produced a truly remarkable figure!"

As he spoke, a few blue marks suddenly appeared on Hashirama's brows.

Beside him, watching Hashirama's transformation, Tobirama roared in disbelief.

"Wait, brother, you can't do that!"

Those are Konoha's juniors, not their former enemies!

You can't use that move!

With Tobirama's exclamation, Hashirama clasped his Hashirama together, and the aura of Sage Mode instantly filled the area.

Across from him, Gawain nodded slightly as he watched Hashirama finally become serious.

"Finally, I can watch the official version, haha."
