Karin, My Great-Grandson's Wife?

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju sized up the little old man.

Tobirama suddenly exclaimed in delight, "You're Maruboshi Kosuke? Big brother, he's Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple and also one of my unofficial disciples—the one who wanted to be a genin his entire life!"

Hashirama came to a realization. "So it was you! You've gotten so old? To us, it feels like only yesterday."

Maruboshi Kosuke pointed at Shao Nan beside Karin Uzumaki. "Lord Hashirama, could it be that you left behind a child during one of your romantic escapades?"

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju raised their heads and looked toward Shao Nan.

Tobirama said, "He actually looks exactly like Big Brother. The way he is now... that's right, even Big Brother's Wood Release sage arts..."

Tobirama then turned and angrily berated Hashirama. "Didn't you say ordinary women couldn't bear your children?"

Hashirama Senju scratched his head. "Although I've been with quite a few women, Mito was the only exception. The other women didn't have that capability. Their bodies were too weak to possibly bear my children!"

Shao Nan's soul was still inside Uchiha Sasuke's body.

He then controlled Uchiha Sasuke's body and walked toward his own body.

Then he pulled out that photograph from his pocket!

"Orochimaru, let's fight later. Let's talk about some family matters first!"

Orochimaru nodded. To be honest, he was rather curious too!

Just then, a yellow flash appeared there at Flying Thunder God speed!

"Sasuke, I'm here! Your lord and savior has made his dazzling entrance!"

The newcomer was Naruto!

When he had been swallowed by the giant snake, even the Nine-Tails could no longer stand watching.

He clearly could have used its power, yet his brain simply refused to work!

Only under the Nine-Tails' guidance had Naruto managed to enter Chakra Mode!

Tobirama said in surprise, "The Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Hashirama was even more astonished. "This is the Nine-Tails' Chakra Mode? Mito used it before!!!"

Orochimaru found it even harder to understand. That weakling Naruto from just moments ago was now perfectly controlling the Nine-Tails' chakra!

Controlling Uchiha Sasuke's body, Shao Nan spoke to Uchiha Sasuke's soul in his mind.

"See that? Don't you think Naruto is incredibly powerful right now, able to perfectly control such enormous chakra? Uchiha Sasuke, you're wrong! Your power is even stronger than Naruto's right now—you just don't know how to use it yet!"

Uchiha Sasuke's soul said, "Boss, did you really awaken our abilities?"

"Of course. You call me Boss—how could I not raise you properly?"

Shao Nan stopped talking to Uchiha Sasuke.

He handed the photograph to Hashirama Senju and said, "This is the photograph my great-grandmother gave me!"

Hashirama Senju looked at the Uchiha youth with the Sharingan before him, initially not thinking much of it.

Then he burst into laughter. "You're pretty good, kid! You actually used Sage Mode and then the Sharingan to enter that body! Not a bad idea!"

Then Hashirama Senju stared at the photograph in his hand, unable to let it go for a long time!

"So you're Shui Zhi's!"

Tobirama heard that and took a look!

He immediately slapped the back of Hashirama's head hard.

"Big Brother, are you even human? You ran off for a tryst during the Five Kage Summit!"

Hashirama looked exactly like a child who had done something wrong.

"I was just unbearably lonely! I merely took a stroll and happened to run into Shui Zhi!"

"Tell the truth!"

"Fine, I admit it. I coveted Shui Zhi's beauty!"

Tobirama then turned to Uchiha Sasuke. "You should return to your own body first! It feels awkward looking at you and talking to you like this!"

Shao Nan thought that made sense, so he spoke to Uchiha Sasuke's soul.

"Uchiha Sasuke, I'll show off your abilities later. Go talk with Naruto first. Judging from how he looks right now, he's really eager to show off in front of you! But seriously, you're stronger than Naruto is right now!"

"Fine, but Boss, remember to keep it secret for me!"

"Don't worry, Uchiha Sasuke. I'm your Boss. I'll keep your secret safe."

Biu~~

Shao Nan returned to his own body, then pulled Karin along as he walked up to Hashirama and Tobirama.

He immediately threw a left and right hook at Hashirama!

"Great-Grandpa Hashirama, when my great-grandmother died, her heart was still full of longing for you! She even told me to restore the Senju clan!!!"

Hashirama Senju did not fight back!

He took Shao Nan's two punches head-on!

"Great-grandson, I let your great-grandmother down! Your great-grandmother should have been my first wife, but I abandoned her!"

Although Shao Nan had transmigrated here, the emotions of this original body still affected him to some extent.

Shao Nan threw another punch, blowing Hashirama's head apart!

But very quickly, Hashirama's Impure World Reincarnation body restored itself!

"Bastard!"

"Do you know how much my great-grandmother suffered? She raised a child alone while constantly fleeing the Ninja World's pursuit!"

Hashirama Senju looked utterly bewildered!

"Pursuit? What pursuit? The Uzumaki clan was Konoha's ally. Who would dare pursue them!"

At the same time, Tobirama nervously took a step back!

"Stop right there!"

Hashirama Senju shouted!

"Tobirama, what exactly happened after I died!"

"Big Brother! Well, I... I was thinking of the village!"

"Tell me the truth!!!" Hashirama Senju roared.

"This was all your fault to begin with!"

"Me?" Hashirama Senju pointed at himself in confusion!

"It was because you distributed the tailed beasts among the other major nations! Later, those nations tried every possible method to control the tailed beasts' rampages, and in the end, they set their sights on the Uzumaki clan! You know why Konoha didn't intervene. Only if the other villages remained unstable could Konoha stand firm!"

"Bullshit! So you just stood by and watched the Uzumaki clan die?"

"I saved them!"

"Then why did things turn out like this!"

"During one mission, I realized I was certain to die! So before I died, I passed the position on to Hiruzen Sarutobi! Then I told him that no matter what, he had to bring back an Uzumaki clansman to serve as the Nine-Tails' vessel!"

Hashirama Senju flew into a rage, and his monstrous strength leaked out.

The entire forest seemed to tremble!

Even though this Impure World Reincarnation body possessed only a tenth or two of his strength from when he was alive, Hashirama Senju was still powerful!

"So you only saved one Uzumaki clansman?"

Tobirama Senju nodded fearfully!

Bang!

Hashirama Senju's huge hand struck with a single blow, shattering Tobirama Senju's entire body!

Other than Shao Nan, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto!

Everyone present was intimidated by the overwhelming aura emanating from Hashirama Senju!

They all involuntarily backed away!

Karin was no exception. She buried her head in Shao Nan's chest, trembling in fear!

"Don't be afraid, Karin! My great-grandfather will stand up for you!"

Hashirama Senju seemed to realize that he had embarrassed himself before his great-grandson!

"Great-grandson, I'm sorry. This was all my fault! I failed to consider this!"

"Great-Grandpa, what's done is done. No amount of regret can change anything! Even if you beat Great-Uncle Tobirama a hundred times or ten thousand times, the dead cannot come back to life!"

Hashirama Senju looked at Karin, then asked with a beaming smile, "Great-grandson, is this my great-grandson's wife?"

Upon hearing that, Karin's entire face turned as red as a ripe tomato!

"Not yet, Great-Grandpa! She's also a member of the Uzumaki clan! There are still other Uzumaki clansmen in the Land of Grass waiting for me to rescue them!"

"What? You want to rescue the Uzumaki clansmen? Once you rescue them, will you continue letting the other major nations covet the Uzumaki clan and use them as a means of controlling the tailed beasts?"

After restoring himself, Tobirama Senju spoke sternly.

"Shut up!"

Hashirama Senju shattered Tobirama Senju again!

"Then there's no time to lose. Great-Grandpa will immediately head to the Land of Grass and rescue the remaining Uzumaki clansmen!"

Shao Nan waved his hand!

He signaled that Hashirama Senju need not rush!

Then he explained the current situation with the exam to him!

"If that's the case, I'll entrust the mission of rescuing our clansmen to you, Great-grandson! You made that giant tree, didn't you? Your chakra reserves are greater than mine! It's even more powerful than my Deep Forest Emergence!"
