"The grandpa I remember was pretty oblivious, wasn't he?"
"How does he suddenly seem to understand everything?!"
Hashirama Senju laughed heartily.
"I did raise your father, you know!"
"Why bring that up out of nowhere..."
"Little Tsunade, I'm waiting for you to have a big, healthy baby boy. Remember to tell me at my grave when you do!"
"Grandpa!!!"
Just then,
Ruyi Jingu Bang began to shrink,
taking the shape of an ordinary staff.
Then
it struck Hashirama Senju squarely in the chest.
Thud!!!
The tremendous force
knocked Hashirama Senju straight to the ground.
Ruyi Jingu Bang stood planted against Hashirama Senju's chest,
and he could barely move.
It was like Thor's hammer in The Avengers,
pinning an enemy down by the chest and leaving them unable to move.
Ruyi Jingu Bang worked much the same way.
It weighed thirteen thousand five hundred jin.
That was heavy,
but Hashirama Senju had chakra to spare.
Yet
he felt a suppressive force radiating from Ruyi Jingu Bang.
A relieved smile appeared on Hashirama Senju's face.
"Looks like I've finally been pinned down."
"That young man really is impressive. Treasure him, Tsunade."
Hearing her grandfather's voice turn suddenly gentle,
Tsunade blushed and nodded.
Then
she seemed to remember something and shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Sealing Squad!"
Kabuto Yakushi heard Tsunade too,
and his eyes widened with fury.
I knew it!
I knew it!
That staff belongs to Aogetsu Hyuga!
Aogetsu Hyuga again!!
Every time something goes wrong, Aogetsu Hyuga is involved!
Is that bastard here just to ruin my plans?!
He hurriedly turned to Uchiha Itachi and Nagato.
"You two need to move too. We can't let the First Hokage get sealed!"
In the distance,
Aogetsu Hyuga suddenly smiled and shook his head.
"She really can't manage without me there
