Minato Namikaze explained his identity to Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

" The Fourth Hokage? Nine-Tails' Attack' attack?"

Hashirama Senju wore a curious expression.

"That Nine-Tails creature can kill people?"

He then quoted a famous Hokage reference, leaving Minato Namikaze extremely embarrassed.

" Minato, it's really Minato! Quick, Minato, use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport us out!"

Upon seeing Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and the others roared as if they had grasped at a last straw.

If it were Minato Namikaze, he could have evaded Yeyue Ziyun's pursuit with his Flying Thunder God Technique.

"No, don't misunderstand, everyone. I'm not here to rescue you. I've already joined the Kumogakure."

"I've come here to expose your true colors!"

Minato Namikaze's subsequent words left the Konoha F4 stunned on the spot.

Minato? Joined Kumogakure?

Are you mistaken? You're the Fourth Hokage, how could you have joined Kumogakure?

" Minato, what are you talking about?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened.

"Hmph, Third Hokage, do you even need to ask me? I've seen everything you've done to Naruto during the years I faked my death. Konoha is practically ruined by the higher-ups led by you four!"

" Konoha is nothing more than your personal plaything now."

Minato Namikaze angrily rebuked Konoha F4.

Upon hearing this, the Konoha F4 froze on the spot, their minds blank.

They had no idea that Minato Namikaze was still alive.

Unexpectedly, Minato Namikaze had already joined Kumogakure.

What they didn't expect was that Minato Namikaze had been lurking in Konoha all this time, meaning that Minato Namikaze had witnessed everything they did to Naruto!

I'm doomed! I'm completely doomed! If Minato Namikaze reveals the truth, my image will plummet!

"Stay put and don't move."

Sensing that Konoha F4 member Minato Namikaze was about to make a move, Ziyun smiled slightly and immediately restrained the four of them, preventing them from making any further actions.

" Hashirama Senju, you may not believe me, but you should at least believe the Fourth Hokage."

Ziyun said calmly, then looked at Minato Namikaze, indicating that he could speak.

Minato Namikaze nodded, then spoke:

" Lord First Hokage, Second Hokage, as the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, it is my duty to tell you about everything that has happened in Konoha under the rule of the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his Shimura Danzō, Homura Mitokado, Utatane Koharu, and others over the years."

Then Minato Namikaze began to recount his story.

From the near extermination of the Uzumaki Clan, to the Second Shinobi World War, to the near extermination of the Senju Clan, to the death of Senju Nawaki due to being betrayed by the Konoha leadership, to the Senju Clan joining Kumogakure, to how the Konoha High Command interfered in politics again under the pretext of cultivating him after he was elected Hokage, and the extermination of the Uchiha Clan, forcing them to resist, all of which had nothing to do with Kumogakure.

Minato Namikaze told the whole story without holding anything back.

After saying all this, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju's expressions completely changed.

If what Minato Namikaze said is true, then Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, and the others truly treated Konoha as their personal playthings and tools of power!

" Sarutobi, is everything he said true?"

Hashirama Senju's expression turned completely cold. Although he only had half a body and half an eye, his aura was still quite intimidating as he pressed Hiruzen Sarutobi for answers.

Seeing this, Ziyun's lips curled into a slight smile.

Finally... the real show is about to begin.

After learning the whole truth, even Hashirama Senju could no longer remain calm.

" Lord Hokage, don't believe him. Although he was once the Hokage, he's now a member of Kumogakure. Of course he'll side with Kumogakure."

Hiruzen Sarutobi went all out and directly smeared Minato Namikaze.

" Third Hokage, how could you be so shameless? Weren't these things done by the Konoha High Command?"

" Orochimaru, the Uchiha Clan, the Senju Clan, the Uzumaki Clan, and even Hinata Hyuga Clan —so many geniuses, weren't they all forced away by your Konoha High Command!"

This was the first time Minato Namikaze had ever spoken so out of character.

After all, he hadn't expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to be so shameless.

He was exposed to his face, yet he still managed to deny it.

Just then...

Snap!

A clear slap rang out as Tobirama Senju the black rods' restraints, walked up to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and delivered a crisp slap to his face.

Actually, it wasn't that he broke free from the restraints, but rather that Ziyun took the initiative to remove the black rod.

" Sarutobi, you've disappointed me greatly. Is this how you repay me after I entrusted Konoha to you?"

"I can't breathe Tobirama Senju said sternly, his eyes filled with rage as he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He was furious. The four people in front of him were all people he had trained, and he had personally passed on the mantle of Hokage to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The reason the four of them are still alive today is because they covered their retreat in that great battle.

And what happened? These four people, so greedy for power, completely ruined Konoha, the largest village in the world!

Tobirama Senju was naturally very angry.

"Tobirama -Teacher Tobirama, what's going on? You haven't actually believed the missing-nin who joined Kumogakure, have you?"

Covering his swollen cheek, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tobirama Senju in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that Tobirama Senju would slap him like that. What did it mean?

This means that Tobirama Senju has come to believe Minato Namikaze's words.

" Sarutobi, you don't need to tell me what I should believe. I only know that Konoha has become a weak village in your hands, and that's why you need to summon me and my older brother to help you."

"Based on this alone, you are not a qualified Hokage!"

"I'm annoyed," Tobirama Senju said.

He didn't actually need to know so many things; just the fact that the Konoha F4 had managed to govern Konoha into this mess was enough to enrage Tobirama Senju.

Not to mention that the Fourth Hokage actually betrayed the Kumogakure!

Although Tobirama Senju did not understand Minato Namikaze's character.

But to put it bluntly, if the Fourth Hokage hadn't reached his breaking point, why would he have betrayed the Kumogakure?

After all, he's already Hokage, why would he defect to another village?

Could it be that the Kumogakure also wants him to become the Raikage? That's completely unnecessary, and besides, the Kumogakure would never allow him to become the Raikage.

It can only be said that Minato Namikaze must have suffered extremely unfair treatment in Konoha, which led him to have the idea of betrayal.

Tobirama's intelligence is different from Hashirama's; he realized this, which is why he Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Seeing this, the Konoha F4 didn't dare to breathe, each of them lowering their heads and not daring to look directly at Tobirama Senju.

Konoha is indeed too weak, and it is precisely under their rule that it is so weak, so they have no confidence whatsoever.

" Teacher Sarutobi, I've come to save you!"

At the same time, Jiraiya led the Konoha group to the scene.

After all, all of Konoha High Command Ziyun, so of course they would send people to rescue them. However, they were a bit slow, arriving late when the matter was almost finished.

" Jiraiya!"

Upon seeing Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi with joy.

His heart was already filled with despair, but now that Jiraiya was there, things took a turn for the better.

"Quickly, attack the Fourth Raikage and rescue Teacher Sarutobi and the others!"

Jiraiya then gave the order, and a group of Konoha elites prepared to use their Ninjutsu.

"No need, Jiraiya. I have a few questions for you, and you must answer them truthfully."

Then Hashirama Senju spoke, and everyone in Konoha stopped.

The First Hokage held considerable prestige; with him around, even Hiruzen Sarutobi's words carried little weight.

" Lord First Hokage ask directly. I will do my best to answer whatever I know."

Jiraiya was somewhat puzzled. At this crucial moment, why was the Lord First Hokage suddenly asking him something?

However, Jiraiya had great respect for the First Hokage, so he obediently nodded.

At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind raced.

Jiraiya's group included many key members of Konoha's major clans. While most of them were unaware of the full story, they had some guesses.

If Hashirama Senju were to actually ask that question, he would be utterly disgraced.

" Jiraiya, cancel the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu immediately! Now!"

" The First Hokage and the Second Hokage have been bewitched by Yeyue Ziyun. Immediately cancel the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu!"

Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted at Jiraiya.

If the Impure World Reincarnation is canceled, the First Hokage and Second Hokage will disappear, and one's reputation will be preserved.

" Sarutobi! You actually...!"

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju never expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to be so shameless.

As soon as they finished speaking, Jiraiya Impure World Reincarnation: Release the Impure World Reincarnation. The dust that had enveloped their bodies began to dissipate, and their entire bodies emitted a pillar of light that shot into the sky, indicating that they were about to disappear.
