After all, Jiraiya had just arrived at the scene and wasn't entirely clear on the situation.
Upon hearing his teacher's words, Jiraiya reacted quickly, immediately dispelling the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu.
" Teacher Jiraiya, what are you doing? You've been deceived by the Third Hokage!"
Minato Namikaze was speechless. He had finally gotten a chance to ruin Konoha High Command's reputation, and it just slipped away like that?
"Huh? You're Minato? What are you doing here? What's going on? I don't remember reviving you."
Jiraiya, still confused, scratched his head and said...

" Jiraiya, this Minato is an imposter! Take him down!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi has completely lost his mind and gave orders to Jiraiya.
After all, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were about to return to the Pure Land. As long as they preserved their reputations, they wouldn't care even if Konoha Hiruzen Sarutobi was destroyed by Konoha.
After this battle, Konoha was indeed unable to withstand the attack from Kumogakure.
Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to do everything in his power to ensure that his reputation was not damaged.
" Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"
Jiraiya reacted quickly; the moment Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, his expression changed, and he launched an attack on Minato.
"Sigh... Teacher Jiraiya."
Minato was speechless and chose to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to evade.
The next moment, the other Konoha ninjas used Ninjutsu to precisely strike Minato's landing point.
Fire Style: Searing Migraine!
" Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
Lightning Release: Earth Flow!
" Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
A series of Ninjutsu combinations were unleashed, and their power was quite astonishing.
"Very good, as long as we take down Minato, everything can still be salvaged."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also delighted to see this.
It's truly unexpected that things have taken a turn for the better.
Just then, a Wood Release suddenly appeared in front of Minato Namikaze, helping him block the attack from the Konoha Ninja.
" Sarutobi, you have truly disappointed me. You have gone completely mad for power!"
Then Hashirama Senju's stern voice rang out.
For some unknown reason, Hashirama Senju's Impure World Reincarnation body did not disappear; instead, it reassembled.
"How... how is this possible? The Impure World Reincarnation was clearly canceled!"
Upon seeing this, the Konoha F4 all widened their eyes in astonishment.
"Hmph, Sarutobi, don't forget that I created this Ninjutsu; I naturally have a way to counter it."
"Once the caster forms the binding force for the Impure World Reincarnation, the contract is automatically dissolved. Forbidden techniques cannot be used recklessly."
Tobirama Senju looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with an arrogant expression.
Trying to use such a petty trick against him? Hiruzen Sarutobi is a hundred years too early.
"Looks like I won't need to do anything."
Ziyun, watching the show from the sidelines, remarked, "This is quite a spectacle."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened in disbelief; he never expected things to turn out this way.
Now that the Impure World Reincarnation has been broken, he's finished.
"Damn it, the Impure World Reincarnation has been broken! Quick, stop them!"
Jiraiya gritted his teeth and ordered the Konoha Ninja to attack Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
"No need. I wasn't controlled by anyone; it was all a scheme by the Third Hokage."
"Hashirama Senju said coldly, and the Konoha Ninja all stopped."
" The Lord First wasn't controlled? Then, Master, why did you ask me to undo the Impure World Reincarnation just now?"
Jiraiya was bewildered and asked Hiruzen Sarutobi, but received no answer.
"Hmph, Sarutobi, it seems I no longer need to question Jiraiya. Your actions have fully demonstrated that what the Fourth Hokage said is absolutely true. You and your partner have committed numerous heinous acts against Konoha!"
Hashirama Senju looked at the Konoha F4 with hatred in his eyes and said...
Even if he's slow on the uptake, he should have realized it by now.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions just now were simply an attempt to get him and his younger brother Tobirama Senju to leave this world as soon as possible, so they could find out the truth about those things.
It seems that he already knew the truth without even asking Jiraiya.
That's the Konoha High Command, led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, who have been persecuting the village's loyal and talented people for years, resulting in Konoha having no one to rely on and falling to this state!
The Senju Clan, the Uzumaki Clan, and the Uchiha Clan have all now joined forces with Kumogakure —this is all their doing!
Upon hearing this, the Konoha F4 all trembled.
Now, faced with such undeniable facts, they no longer have the nerve to argue.
After all, they wouldn't dare to oppose the First Hokage and Second Hokage even if they had a hundred lives.
It seems the end of the world has finally come.
" Jiraiya, go find the heads of all the major clans in the village. I'm going to hold a general meeting and discuss with them Sarutobi's crimes over the years!"
Hashirama Senju then gave the order to Jiraiya.
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a deep look, finally realizing that something seemed amiss.
Could it be that everything the teacher has done over the years has been exposed?
In fact Jiraiya was well aware of some of Hiruzen Sarutobi's methods, and he also felt that what he was doing was a bit excessive, but he was a sentimental person, so he wouldn't say anything openly.
In fact, after Orochimaru defected from Konoha and joined Kumogakure, he also wanted to find an excuse to leave Konoha and wander the Shinobi World.
After all, out of sight, out of mind; staying in Konoha to witness the dirty deeds of one's teacher is truly pointless.
However, Konoha was in dire straits, Jiraiya could not stand by and watch Konoha fall, so he had no choice but to begin researching the Impure World Reincarnation.
Now it seems that everything has been in vain. His teacher's methods and schemes have all been exposed and are known to the First Hokage and Second Hokage.
This is terrible. The teacher will definitely be severely punished and ruined.
" Jiraiya, hurry up and go! Do you still have a shred of sympathy for your teacher?"
Seeing that Jiraiya was not taking any action, Tobirama Senju urged him sternly.
"Yes, I understand. I'll go right now."
Jiraiya immediately went to find the heads of the various clans in Konoha.
He had feelings for Hiruzen Sarutobi, but on such an important matter, Jiraiya knew very well that he couldn't speak up for his Teacher Sarutobi, nor did he have the ability to do so.
In truth, Jiraiya harbored some resentment towards the Konoha High Command.
After all, his two old teammates Tsunade and Orochimaru, had both left in a huff, especially his goddess Tsunade, who left Konoha and married the Fourth Raikage.
Therefore, Jiraiya summoned the heads of the various clans almost without hesitation.
When these clan leaders heard that the First Hokage and Second Hokage were going to hold the Third Hokage accountable, they initially couldn't believe it.
After Jiraiya's repeated persuasion, the clan leaders finally believed him.
Suddenly, a fire that was usually suppressed within him ignited!
Over the years, the Konoha High Command has openly and covertly suppressed many powerful clans, such as the Hyuga Clan. They recently handed over their clan leader's daughter, Hinata Hyuga, to the Kumogakure.
As for the other major clans, they were forced to act as lackeys to the Konoha High Command, since everyone has seen the consequences of not doing so.
The Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan are good examples.
Therefore, upon hearing that the First Hokage was going to hold the Third Hokage accountable, the resentment that had been suppressed for many years resurfaced among some clan leaders, and they quickly gathered and assembled evidence.
" Fourth Raikage, I'm very grateful to you for exposing Sarutobi's scheme. However, this is a matter for Konoha, so please give me the honor and excuse yourself for now."
Hashirama Senju then spoke to Ziyun.
"Hehe, avoiding this is fine, but I'm the one who investigated this matter for you, so you'll have to pay a price."
"When you announce how you'll deal with the Konoha High Command, we'll also go to Konoha to observe. After all, many people from Kumogakure have enemies among the Konoha High Command."
Ziyun smiled in response to Hashirama Senju.
"Outrageous! This is an internal affair of Konoha; how dare others stand by and watch!"
"Tobirama Senju!" he said sternly.
Tobirama! Don't interrupt.
At that moment, Hashirama Senju immediately confronted his younger brother.
Don't be fooled by Tobirama Senju's frequent attempts to Hashirama; it's just that Hashirama has a good temper and tolerates his younger brother.
But when it really matters, a serious Hashirama or Tobirama can't handle it.
"Alright, Fourth Raikage, I agree. Now please leave."
Hashirama Senju readily agreed.
After all, he knew very well that there was nothing he could do if he didn't agree.
