God of Order! Tobirama Says You're More Dangerous Than Madara

Those few words spread throughout the Shattered Valley.

Hashirama froze where he stood.

He had assumed that Lumen's so-called ascension to godhood merely meant using his feat of defeating the God of Shinobi to gain prestige above that of the Five Kage throughout history.

Even if Lumen wanted the entire Shinobi World to acknowledge his position as the strongest, Hashirama could understand that.

The strong naturally yearned to reach the summit. It was hardly anything unusual.

But he had never expected that the god Lumen spoke of was not merely an honorific title.

He was truly preparing to rise above the Five Great Countries, look down upon all the shinobi villages, and unilaterally decide the future of the Shinobi World with absolute authority!

The cracks on the Third Kazekage's face tightened slightly.

Hozuki Gengetsu's playful expression from earlier had also vanished.

Kakuzu's five hearts pounded heavily. When he looked at Lumen, nothing remained in his green pupils but wariness.

Orochimaru covered his bleeding eyes. Although his vision had yet to recover, he had still heard Lumen's declaration clearly.

He had originally thought that his pursuit of immortality and desire to seize every ninjutsu in the world were already ambitious enough.

Yet compared to Lumen, what he sought seemed pitifully small.

He wanted to explore the truths of the world.

Lumen, however, wanted to sit upon the world's throne and make the entire Shinobi World operate according to his will!

Tobirama stared at Lumen, his expression growing colder and colder.

Only now did he truly confirm that Lumen's desire to become a god was not a momentary impulse after defeating Hashirama.

It was a long-planned scheme.

Reform the Uchiha, establish the Temple, pass down an entirely new cultivation method, crush Kumogakure, accumulate prestige, then challenge Hashirama and step onto the summit
