The Two Gluttonous Brothers

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu left the Hokage Office in a daze.

The two exchanged a glance, only then realizing their backs were already drenched in cold sweat.

Recalling the moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face had seemed five or six years younger, yet his presence was even more terrifying than it had been in his prime.

At the slightest disagreement, Mitokado Homura had felt as if Sarutobi Hiruzen might pull out his staff and kill him the very next second.

This made Mitokado Homura feel like a scholar encountering a brute.

More importantly, such an attitude from Sarutobi Hiruzen suggested that a major move was likely imminent.

Because of Danzo's betrayal and loss of control, he might very well purge the power of the Council of Elders!

Danzo, oh Danzo, how could you be so foolish?!

Mitokado Homura gritted his teeth, believing that the primary reason for Sarutobi Hiruzen's overreaction was Danzo's assassination attempt on the Third Hokage.

Since this affected his own interests, he couldn't help but feel resentment toward Danzo as well.

Indeed, Danzo's aged spine had borne far too many scapegoats.

"Two old turtles."

Sarutobi Hiruzen conveniently ignored the fact that he was roughly the same age as Mitokado Homura and the other.

However, although he used his aura to intimidate them, he had no real intention of doing anything to the two of them.

After all, while they had some ambition, they were nowhere near as power-hungry as Danzo.

What was even more laughable was that their strength didn't even match their meager ambitions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally wouldn't bother haggling with guys who posed no real threat.

Besides, the two did have some capability; otherwise, they wouldn't have been taken in as disciples by Senju Tobirama or remained in the upper echelons of Konoha for so many years.

They had even managed to stay in the high ranks of Konoha all the way until the Boruto era.

Unlike Danzo, who later basically only knew how to play dirty tricks and act like a rat in the soup.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not yet prepared to take on all the work of the Hokage by himself.

"Lord Third."

At this moment, an Anbu suddenly knocked on the door to report the situation to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The two individuals you ordered are in the prison."

"They are eating very diligently."

"Everything is prepared."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, his expression showing a hint of anticipation.

The biological technology acquired in the Demon Slayer World had not yet been applied to the Ninja World.

In the Demon Slayer World, although there were many materials, Sarutobi Hiruzen had not mass-produced the Perfect Being because the cost of bringing them to the Ninja World was too high.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had only brought back Perfect 1 as experimental material, which had cost him 2,000 points of Source Energy.

There was another reason...

How could the physique of people from the Demon Slayer World compare to the ninjas of the Ninja World, who have 130 trillion cells...

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself.

Although there are physiques like rare blood and superhuman strength in Demon Slayer, they are still small fry compared to ninjas.

Thinking this, Sarutobi Hiruzen followed the Anbu to the Konoha prison.

Without going deep into the cells, in the area outside the main prison, two men, two meters tall and as robust as mountains, sat cross-legged on the ground.

Their hands and feet were wrapped in dense chains. While they lacked clearly defined muscle contours, they gave off a sense of power as heavy as a mountain.

Their arms were thicker than an average person's thighs, and their thighs were thicker than an average person's waist.

"Fujin! Raijin!"

Seeing the two still sitting there nonchalantly, the Anbu couldn't help but scold them.

"The Hokage is here! Why aren't you paying your respects?!"

Fujin and Raijin looked similar, one tall and one short; they were clearly twins.

"Hokage? That's a familiar name."

"Do you know it, brother?"

"I have a vague impression. It seems this prison is under the Hokage's jurisdiction."

"So what? If the one in charge of the prison doesn't provide food, I'm not giving any Hokage face."

"You're right, brother. Getting fed is what really matters."

The Anbu frowned upon hearing this.

"You two..."

But the next second, the Anbu shut his mouth.

Because Fujin and Raijin were growing impatient with the Anbu's words, the two brothers were staring at the Anbu with dangerous and greedy gazes.

Coupled with their physiques, which were far more robust than the average person, the brothers exerted immense pressure, instantly silencing even the battle-hardened Anbu.

"Enough!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped forward, interrupting the terrifying gaze of Fujin and Raijin.

"Are you two the brothers Fujin and Raijin?"

Fujin and Raijin nodded one after the other.

"That's right, I am Fujin (Raijin)!"

"It seems our reputation as brothers is still quite loud."

"Even this so-called Hokage knows about us..."

"Reputation is useless, brother, you can't trade it for food!"

"Then I was happy for nothing, brother."

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled; the two brothers were indeed just as they appeared in the original records, not very bright in the head.

"I hear you both have great strength."

"Can you demonstrate it for me?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a flatbread.

"Whoever gives the best demonstration gets the bread."

Immediately, upon seeing the bread, the two brothers became quite obedient, even eager.

"I'll go, I'll go!"

"I'll go first!"

"The older brother should let the younger brother go!"

"Who says that? The younger brother should let the older brother go!"

Seeing the two arguing endlessly over who should go first, Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted them.

He pointed at the older brother, Fujin, to go first.

"Hahahaha."

Fujin laughed, looking somewhat smug.

Then, with a slight movement of his body, he tore the iron chains binding his hands and feet to pieces as if they were made of paper.

"Is this good enough!"

Raijin, however, was somewhat unconvinced.

"Brother, that was too amateurish."

"You have to watch me!"

As he spoke, he took the iron chains scattered on Fujin and, as if kneading modeling clay, mashed them directly together.

They transformed into a large iron ball.

"How about it, Hokage?"

"Are you satisfied with this..."

Raijin was very smug, seemingly proud of his own creativity.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction and tossed a flatbread to each of them.

Seeing Fujin and Raijin engrossed in eating, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately formed hand seals.

"Genjutsu: Temple of Nirvana."

White feathers drifted down from the sky, and Fujin and Raijin's eyelids instantly began to droop.

But a moment later, Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprised to find that not only had the two brothers not fallen asleep, but they were also showing signs of breaking free from the genjutsu.

One must know that given Sarutobi Hiruzen's Chakra intensity and his mastery of genjutsu, even a Jonin would have no power to resist a targeted genjutsu of this level.

It seems being dull-witted doesn't mean their mental strength is poor.

On the contrary, physical strength and mental strength often complement each other.

With a solid body and sufficient energy, their spirits are naturally robust as well.

Thinking this, Sarutobi Hiruzen increased his Chakra output, knocking the two brothers completely unconscious.

With two thuds, the two mountains of flesh collapsed, causing the entire prison cell to tremble.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the brothers' bodies with satisfaction; they were simply top-tier experimental subjects.

Especially in terms of physical strength.

It would be difficult to find a rival for them in the entire Ninja World.

In their original performance, they easily defeated Jonin in close-quarters combat with pure physical strength alone, and even the combined efforts of the Ino-Shika-Cho could only barely restrain them before they eventually broke free.

Pure strength could unleash the destructive power of many high-level Ninjutsu, which showed just how terrifying their physical talent was.

"It's a pity that with such strong physical talent, their strength alone surpasses that of a Jonin, reaching the level of Nintaijutsu."

"If only they could train."
