Hashirama, who had been yelled at to shut up by Tobirama, realized he might have said something wrong, but after reviewing his words and deciding they were acceptable, he quickly realized that he hadn't said anything wrong.

Tobirama thinks there's a problem, but I don't think there's a problem, so it must be my problem!

Hashirama Senju, who completely trusted his younger brother's wisdom, went into a state of utter euphoria, muttering words that only he could understand.

After inwardly praising Haku for doing a good job, Orochimaru, observing the situation, also spoke up.

"Both Lord Hokage, don't be misled by Teacher Sarutobi's words. Like me, Teacher Sarutobi is also an S-rank missing-nin from Konoha. The one with the Sharingan by his side is an A-rank missing-nin from Konoha, Itachi Uchiha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had always disliked Orochimaru Hiruzen Sarutobi's hypocritical demeanor and ruthlessly exposed his true colors.

"Monkey, you and your disciple defected from Konoha together?"

For some reason, Hashirama Senju suddenly remembered that Orochimaru was missing-nin and exclaimed in surprise.

"What exactly happened, Hiruzen Sarutobi?"

Knowing that the hasty selection of Hiruzen Sarutobi as Hokage would cause many troubles, Tobirama, who believed in his disciple's abilities, did not think that Hiruzen Sarutobi was incapable of becoming Hokage.

Judging from his age, a long time had passed since his death, and it's really hard to understand why Hiruzen Sarutobi, as Hokage, could become Konoha missing-nin!

No matter how cunning Tobirama Senju was, he reacted immediately and blurted out the question.

Meanwhile, Ai, who had been silently gathering intelligence, now appeared as a figure resembling a world-destroying demon.

Could it be because of Uchiha Yushu?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, despite his advanced age and thick skin, was still somewhat embarrassed in front of his teacher, his old face turning slightly red.

Unwilling to discuss the matter and not wanting to reveal his own intentions, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not answer.

Adding to the vague expectation he had felt when he looked at Tobirama Senju's figure earlier, Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to ask a question in return.

He asked the question that had puzzled him for years.

"Teacher, why did you establish the Konoha Military Police Force in the first place?"

It's hard to imagine that a single question could contain so many complex emotions. Hiruzen Sarutobi's question contained frustration, regret, resentment, and an unshakeable doubt!

Faced with such an emotionally charged question, Tobirama Senju gained some insight.

Thinking of a possible Tobirama Senju, and looking at Itachi Uchiha beside Hiruzen Sarutobi, a new question arose.

If things are really as I suspect, then what's the deal with this brat from the Uchiha Clan?

The quick-witted Tobirama Senju also had a remarkable habit of imagining things, but he wouldn't blindly trust his own judgment based on his imagined conclusions.

Unable to be certain of his own thoughts, Tobirama Senju chose to seek confirmation.

"Is the current Hokage of Konoha Uchiha Clan?"

Instead of getting an answer, Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback by a new question. He was immediately unsettled by the question, and his expression stiffened, his eyes becoming somewhat evasive.

Having found the answer in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart, Tobirama Senju finally answered Hiruzen Sarutobi's question.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, there is no one in this world without darkness in their heart. The ever-growing village brings more complex entanglements of interests, concentrating the fates of countless people in the hands of one person, which is full of uncontrollable risks. The existence of the Anbu increases these risks. I was only testing a certain possibility back then!"

Tobirama Senju's words were so cryptic that only Hiruzen Sarutobi and A were able to understand them.

It was precisely because he understood that Hiruzen Sarutobi found it even more absurd.

Teacher, you probably never considered that the Hokage and the head of the Konoha Military Police Force are the same person.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered again, and felt that there didn't seem to be any major problems, so why had the situation turned out this way?

He caught a glimpse of Hashirama uncontrollably after hearing Tobirama's words. Although he felt that Lord Hashirama definitely hadn't understood, Hiruzen Sarutobi had a sudden realization.

The teacher probably didn't expect that another powerful ninja from the Uchiha Clan would appear, someone on a completely different level from ordinary ninjas.

Perhaps the teacher was certain that an equally powerful Senju Clan ninja would appear?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's guess was indeed close to the truth. Tobirama Senju had naturally studied the incredibly powerful Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha thoroughly.

After the founding of Konoha, Tobirama Senju consulted various materials. Although he did not understand the karmic entanglement between Asura and Indra, he discovered that as long as the Senju Clan had ninjas who were extraordinary, the Uchiha Clan would also produce ninjas who could rival them.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was also gradually coming to terms with things, recalled the Wood Release experiment he had once initiated and mentally slapped himself a few times.

What a tragedy!
