"Hmph!!! You hateful brat!!!
"I admit it! I really did want to see Senju Hashirama!
"So what?!
"Is there a problem?!!!"
Hearing that, Ito Hirofumi looked at Uchiha Madara with an extremely suggestive expression...
"There's no problem at all! After all, Senju Hashirama is the God of Shinobi, and you're the man known as the God of Shinobi, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!"
"Damn it!!! What nonsense!!! What are you even saying, brat?! I'm the Ghost of the Uchiha!!! I'm not the man known as the God of Shinobi!!!"
Ito Hirofumi hurriedly picked at his ears...
That hateful Madara sure had a loud voice!
"Okay, okay, I get it! Why are you shouting so loudly?!
"Don't you know that there's a saying that makes a lot of sense? Denial is confirmation, and confirmation is fact!
"I know you're eager, but don't rush!
"I'm almost home. As soon as I get there, I'll summon someone!
"I just can't guarantee that I'll be able to summon Senju Hashirama. After all, there are several dead Konoha shinobi who had strength on the level of a Hokage...
"So even I can't say for sure. Maybe Senju Hashirama won't appear, but Senju Tobirama will!"
As soon as Ito Hirofumi mentioned Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara spat in disgust!
"Hah!!! Ptui!!!
"That evil Senju Tobirama!
"Just hearing his name annoys me!!!"
While chatting and shooting the breeze with Uchiha Madara in the Summoning Space, Ito Hirofumi made his way home.
Lying on his little bed, Ito Hirofumi contacted the system.
"System!"
[I'm here!]
Ito Hirofumi had a feeling that the system reminded him of a certain Ai.
"Can I summon someone in the Summoning Space, or do I have to do it in the real world?!"
[The Summoning Space was created for the host to perform summonings!
"Summoned creatures can also live in the Summoning Space!
"So the host can summon someone there!]
Hearing the system's reply, Ito Hirofumi felt reassured.
After all, if he summoned someone in the outside world, he might cause quite a commotion!
Especially if a powerful shinobi on the level of a Hokage casually unleashed some chakra. The whole of Konoha might tremble!
That old Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi probably wouldn't get any sleep!
In the Summoning Space, Ito Hirofumi and Uchiha Madara faced each other, and Madara's eyes were brimming with anticipation!
"Hurry up! What are you waiting for?!"
"Look at you, getting impatient again!" Ito Hirofumi said, regarding Uchiha Madara with an air of calm.
Madara's current look really made it seem like he was eager to get ahead...
That got Ito Hirofumi thinking. Once he became Hokage, should he take on a few students of his own?
Then one of his students would say to him, with barely restrained impatience...
"Teacher, I'm desperate to get ahead!"
All right, all right. What was this, Director Qi?
Without further hesitation, Ito Hirofumi contacted the system!
"System! Use one Golden Summoning for me!!!"
[Host, please form the summoning array!]
Having already summoned Uchiha Madara, Ito Hirofumi was familiar with the process. He followed the hand-seal sequence for the Summoning Technique, then slammed one hand down onto the ground!
Just like when Uchiha Madara had appeared, golden runes emerged on the floor of the Summoning Space, and dazzling golden light began to shine from the array!
Although he had already witnessed this once before, Ito Hirofumi couldn't help feeling excited at the sight.
After all, it meant he'd have another summoned being with strength on the level of a Hokage!
Well... "summoned being" didn't seem quite accurate...
Uchiha Madara, meanwhile, was staring intently at the summoning array. He had even activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!
The pinwheel pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan spun rapidly in his pupils!
Madara wanted to use his Mangekyō to figure out the secrets of the summoning array.
But no matter how long he looked, he couldn't make anything out!
There wasn't even the chakra fluctuation that should have accompanied the Summoning Technique!
A ball of Soul Fire gradually appeared inside the golden array...
Ito Hirofumi stared at it and shouted silently with all his might!
Senju Hashirama!
Senju Hashirama!
Senju Hashirama!
It has to be Senju Hashirama!!!
It was only natural for Ito Hirofumi to hope for that. After all, Senju Hashirama was the strongest person in Konoha's history—though, of course, the Uchiha Madara who had awakened the Rinnegan didn't count.
Uchiha Madara was a little nervous too.
From what Ito Hirofumi had said earlier, it took a hundred million silver taels for him to summon someone on the level of a Hokage.
And Ito Hirofumi had five hundred million silver taels, which meant he had five chances!
With five chances, there was actually a pretty good chance he'd get that blockhead Senju Hashirama...
But no one could say for sure!
So at that moment, Uchiha Madara was shouting inwardly too!
Hashirama!
Hashirama!
Hashirama!
It has to be Hashirama!!! Not that evil Senju Tobirama!!!
But sometimes, the world was just that mysterious. The more you didn't want something to happen, the more likely it was to happen!
The Soul Fire in the golden array gradually took human form.
The person had spiky white hair and wore blue armor...
It was clearly the style of the Warring States period. The armor wasn't much different from the one Uchiha Madara wore.
But when Uchiha Madara saw the person's silhouette, his face looked worse than if he'd eaten a dead child!
Because it wasn't the Senju Hashirama he'd been longing to see. It was Senju Tobirama, who went around calling the Uchiha evil, repeating it eight hundred times a day!
The golden light gradually faded, and a trace of confusion flashed in Senju Tobirama's eyes...
But when he saw the people before him, his gaze instantly turned sharp!
"Evil Uchiha!!!!"
Senju Tobirama hadn't figured out what had happened to him, but he immediately spotted Uchiha Madara standing not far away!
Was this evil Uchiha planning to carry out another evil scheme?!
And there was that evil brat standing beside the evil Uchiha Madara!
Judging by his looks, he was most likely an evil Uchiha...
What had these two evil Uchiha, one big and one small, summoned him for?!!!
The first thing Uchiha Madara heard after Senju Tobirama's revival was "Evil Uchiha," and he instantly lost it!!!
