After hearing those words, Senju Tobirama didn't say anything more.
There was nothing he could do. His big brother was just like that, and now wasn't the time to argue with him. Otherwise, he'd have to give his big brother a good, sharp "Shut up!!!"
He'd show that blockheaded big brother what a younger brother's dignity looked like!!!
But that evil Uchiha was still watching from the side, so he'd better save his big brother a little face...
Ito Hirofumi hadn't expected things to get so serious, only for Senju Hashirama to turn out to be eager for him to demonstrate his Summoning Technique.
To be honest, Ito Hirofumi was pretty excited to see who he'd summon next, too.
With his two golden summonings, he'd brought out the two Senju brothers. He had to admit, his luck was really good!
Now that he had three powerful fighters—Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, and Senju Tobirama—even if the next person he summoned was a weaker Kage-level fighter, he wouldn't mind...
After all, Kage-level fighters varied in strength!
Take the Konoha Technician, the Scraping King, Hatake Five-Five Split. Wasn't that guy a Kage-level fighter?!
The answer was, of course, yes!
Then was Senju Hashirama a Kage-level fighter? Of course he was!
Would Senju Hashirama need to use both hands to beat Kakashi?!
Or take Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke later on. Would either of them have any trouble dealing with Kakashi?!
So there were plenty of Kage-level fighters, but most of them were only a little stronger than Elite Jonin...
Someone like Five-Five Split—no, someone like Kakashi—was actually pretty outstanding.
The other villages' Kage later on were the ones who were laughably weak!
Especially Chojuro, the Sixth Mizukage. Any of Konoha's future rookies could probably beat him up!
Still, that just went to show how deep Konoha's reserves were. Even after the Third Hokage and Danzo had wreaked havoc for so many years, its strength was still nothing to scoff at!
With Senju Hashirama watching him eagerly, Ito Hirofumi stood up, ready to perform the Summoning Technique.
Uchiha Madara wasn't as curious this time. After all, unless it was his younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, he didn't care who came out next. The person he cared about most, Senju Hashirama, had already been summoned.
As for his younger brother, Uchiha Madara really wasn't sure whether Izuna counted as one of Konoha's dead.
After all, Konoha hadn't been founded when his younger brother died, even though Izuna had ultimately been buried in the village...
Senju Tobirama continued observing closely from the side, trying to figure out how Ito Hirofumi's ability worked.
Senju Hashirama looked like a little kid waiting for candy, his eyes shining brightly!
"Summoning Jutsu!!!"
Boom!!!
Ito Hirofumi contacted the system and used one of his golden summoning chances. At the same time, after forming the Hand Seals, he slammed one hand onto the ground!
The Golden Magic Circle appeared once more...
But...
The Soul Fire within the circle didn't react at all!
Uchiha Madara, watching from a short distance away, frowned slightly. This time seemed a little different from the previous two!
The moment the Golden Magic Circle appeared, the Soul Fire should have shown itself. So why hadn't it appeared this time?
It couldn't be that there were no more Kage-level dead left. That left only one explanation: something was wrong with this spirit!
Neither he nor Senju Hashirama had had any problems. So why was the summoned spirit taking so long to appear?!
Could it be even stronger than him and Senju Hashirama?!
Senju Tobirama was also carefully sensing the summoning circle. Summoning his big brother had gone smoothly, but now it felt as if something were blocking the process!
Sitting on the ground, Senju Hashirama looked around curiously.
"Where is he? Where is he? Where is he, where is he?!
"Xiao Haowen, why hasn't the person you summoned appeared yet this time?!
"Is something wrong with your Summoning Technique?! I was really hoping it might be someone we knew from way back!"
Ito Hirofumi frowned tightly.
This wasn't right!
When he'd summoned Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama, and Senju Hashirama, the Soul Fire had appeared long ago!
So why was there still no reaction?!
"System! What the hell are you doing?!
"I paid real money for this!
"You didn't gobble up my hundred million, did you?!
"Where's the Soul Fire?!
"Where's my Kage-level summon?!
"Even if I got incredibly lucky and summoned both Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, that's no reason to eat my money?!!!"
[Shut up!!! You think I'd eat your money?! The soul I drew this time is just a little unusual! Damn it!!! Who'd have thought the Underworld was hiding a little thing like this?! You didn't come out when I devoured the Underworld before! But now you're showing up, huh?! Damn it, you've got some nerve!!! I'll beat the crap out of you today! Then you'll know what the hell a system is!!!!]
As soon as Ito Hirofumi heard the system's voice, the Golden Magic Circle on the ground burst with golden light that shot straight into the sky!!!
The system was angry?!
By now, Ito Hirofumi had a pretty good idea of what was going on...
There was a connection to the Underworld, and something unusual about the soul. There could only be one person...
Seeing the Golden Magic Circle grow several times larger, with golden light shooting up into the sky, Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama, and Senju Hashirama all looked grim.
With an aura like this, the one being summoned must be something extraordinary!
Uchiha Madara, in particular, was already burning with battle intent.
After all, there hadn't been nearly this much commotion when Senju Hashirama appeared. Just what the hell was this kid Ito Hirofumi summoning this time?!
The next moment, a gigantic head emerged from the Golden Magic Circle!
Then it slowly began to rise. Most importantly, the creature seemed to be struggling in pain!
The instant Ito Hirofumi saw it, he thought, I knew it!
Wasn't this the Death God from the Naruto world?!
The one who appeared only when someone used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal...
It had thick, deathly pale hair and two horns on its head. Its face resembled the Hannya of legend, and its skin was pale with a bluish tint. A white robe hung from its body.
By then, Uchiha Madara had silently moved to Ito Hirofumi's side, the Rinnegan appearing in his eyes!
"Kid! What the hell did you bring out?!"
Senju Hashirama stared at the Death God, looking just as dumbfounded...
"Was this also a shinobi from Konoha?! How come I've never seen him before?! But he sure looks cool!!!"
