"Did you come here to conquer the Shinobi World?"
Hashirama Senju's voice grew strained. Helplessness filled his dark eyes.
Even when he was alive, he might not have been able to defeat a ten-thousand-meter-long Black Dragon.
Now, his Impure World Reincarnation body held less than thirty percent of his strength at his peak, and Orochimaru controlled him on top of that.
What could he do?
How was he supposed to save Konoha?
"Divine Child, would you like to become Konoha's Fourth Hokage?"
"With your strength, you could easily become the Kage of the strongest Hidden Village in the Shinobi World!"
Tobirama Senju's mind raced. If they couldn't beat them, they could join them!
Wasn't that why so many shinobi clans had joined Konoha in the first place? They couldn't defeat Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, or Uchiha Madara, the Demon of the Shinobi World, so they had become part of the village.
If the other world was that powerful, they might as well join forces with it. That would spare countless lives.
They might even gain a stronger leader!
If these people Orochimaru called Divine Children destroyed Konoha and became the Kage of some other Hidden Village, wouldn't Konoha's people have died for nothing?
Yielding for strategic reasons, joining an enemy you couldn't beat—what was strange about doing that to survive?
If they were called Divine Children, their father might truly be a god.
"That's right! Great Divine Child, I ask you to become Konoha's Fourth Hokage. Please don't hurt your villagers."
Hashirama silently praised his quick-thinking brother and hurriedly addressed Kamui.
If Orochimaru hadn't been controlling him, he would have dropped to his knees and bowed before Kamui in a Dogza.
For Konoha, there was nothing he wouldn't do.
Hadn't he knelt before the other Kage for the
