Hiruzen Sarutobi truly lived up to his reputation as a professor of ninjutsu. In no time, he had unleashed all sorts of techniques, holding his own against the First and Second Hokage.
Qinglong watched with great interest and couldn't help exclaiming, "What a spectacle!"
Even the First Hokage, in the middle of the fight, couldn't resist glancing sideways at the strange kid.
Qinglong jumped in fright. His expression instantly turned solemn again, and he stared tensely at the battlefield, raised his arm, and shouted,
"Go, Third Hokage-sama!"
"The Third Hokage is the strongest Hokage in history! Defeat the First and Second Hokage!"
At his words, beads of sweat instantly the size of beans appeared on the Third Hokage's face. An overwhelming sense of danger came crashing down on him like the sky was falling!
"Hm?"
The Second Hokage turned his face toward him. It was hard to tell what expression crossed his stern features; he seemed to be smiling, yet not.
"The strongest Hokage in history, you say? You've done well for yourself, little monkey. You've even earned such an honorable title!"
The Third Hokage's expression twisted beyond recognition!
"Sensei, let me explain!"
The Second Hokage replied coolly,
"There's no need to explain. We'll see whether you deserve the title of strongest Hokage."
With that, he charged at the Third Hokage. The First Hokage also unleashed Wood Release and joined the attack.
Then the First and Second Hokage proceeded to beat the Third Hokage senseless, leaving him howling in pain.
Even the Anbu Ninja watching nearby couldn't help but exclaim,
"Sugoi! What an advanced ninjutsu battle!"
He coughed. His expression and tone had been so full of concern, so why did he feel like he looked just like Qinglong, watching the show and snacking on gossip?
