roar!
The roar of the Nine-Tails Fox gradually faded away.
Finally, it obediently lay down behind Bai Yu, opened its mouth to yawn, and its eyelids began to droop.
Finally, a soft snoring sound rang out, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
Is this still the Nine-Tails they know?
They've even abandoned their dignity and prestige as Tailed Beast?
It's fair to say that everything they saw today completely overturned their long-held worldview.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would believe that the mighty Nine-Tails could have such a docile, kitten-like side?
Sakumo Hatake, filled with fear and resentment, secretly relaxed.
Even the Nine-Tails is so weak, so it's not shameful that he can't even hold his sword properly in front of this person.
" Bai Yu, is there something you want to ask me?"
"However, I'll make this clear from the start: if your questions or concerns pose any threat or disadvantage to Konoha Ninja Village, I'd rather die than tell you."
Mito Uzumaki glanced at the docile Nine-Tails, who was as docile as a kitten, and said through gritted teeth.
As the wife of the First Hokage, she also bore the responsibility of protecting Konoha Ninja Village.
Although her intuition told her that Bai Yu wouldn't target Konoha Ninja Village.
However, just in case, Mito Uzumaki still spoke up and pointed out a few things.
"What's wrong? Do you think I need to wait for you to say something before I can kill you all?"
Bai Yu took a swig of strong liquor and said with a smile.
"However, don't worry, this matter should actually be considered a good thing for your Konoha Ninja Village."
"If this isn't handled properly, even Tobirama Senju might face certain death."
"Will the Second Hokage die?"
Sakumo Hatake's expression changed, and he said urgently.
" The Second Hokage is one of the top figures in the Shinobi World besides the First Hokage. How could he possibly die?"
"I doubt anyone would believe that if I told them."
"Shut up!" Ignoring his injuries, Hiruzen Sarutobi Sakumo Hatake on the back of the head and glared at him as he spoke.
"If the Second Hokage knew that you drove him to his doom with just your words, he would be eternally grateful."
Sakumo Hatake paused for a moment, an absurd thought flashing through his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Isn't there someone right in front of us who could kill the Second Hokage?
What if the boy in front of me takes what he just said as a provocation?
They'll probably really have to consult the Second Hokage before deciding what to do.
At that point, not only would the person in front of him not let him go, but even the Second Hokage wouldn't.
Mito Uzumaki sighed helplessly, looking at this promising Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Such a display of low emotional intelligence undoubtedly added a touch of sorrow to his heart.
However, recalling Bai Yu's question from earlier, Mito Uzumaki couldn't help but speak up.
" Bai Yu, what do you mean by this? I'm not trying to flatter my uncle to death, but in this Shinobi World, Tobirama's strength isn't the strongest, but besides you, there shouldn't be many people who could kill him."
"If you truly won't attack Konoha Ninja Village, I will tell you everything else without reservation."
Hearing this impeccable speech, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Utatane Koharu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the naturally naive First Hokage, Mito Uzumaki, as his wife, was undoubtedly an authoritative figure skilled in negotiation.
Looking around the field, probably no one can compare to her.
Seeing Mito Uzumaki's resolute expression, Bai Yu couldn't help but smile. Without keeping him in suspense, Gate of Opening.
"Don't worry, I know a little about things in the Shinobi World."
"Right now, there are only two things I want to figure out."
"The first thing is, to what extent has the First Shinobi World War between your Kumogakure and Konoha Ninja Village progressed? Has it reached the point where negotiations are possible?"
"Also, where did Hashirama Senju go?"
"Don't you know about the First Hokage?"
Sakumo Hatake spoke again.
However, he was quickly glared at by Hiruzen Sarutobi and obediently shut up.
Mito Uzumaki, who was standing to the side, glanced at Bai Yu a couple of times and noticed that Bai Yu's expression was normal and he didn't seem to be asking questions on purpose. After a slight hesitation, she spoke.
" Bai Yu, to be honest, my husband, Hashirama Senju, suffered a backlash from the injuries accumulated over many years of battles after returning from the Valley of the End two years ago. His cells aged rapidly, his strength was greatly reduced, and he almost lost his life. If it weren't for our Uzumaki Clan's special Sealing Jutsu, Hashirama would probably be dead."
"It was for this reason that Tobirama quickly succeeded as the Second Hokage. With Hashirama's retirement and the disappearance of the Nine-Tails, the major ninja villages became restless. The Kumogakure took the lead by sending over a thousand elite troops to launch a surprise attack on our Konoha Ninja Village, which led to the outbreak of what you call the First Shinobi World War."
"As the leader of Tobirama, Konoha won seven or eight consecutive battles. In the end Hashirama, despite the backlash to his body, defeated the Second Raikage. After the clash, Kumogakure finally announced peace talks."
"However, we never expected that after accidentally discovering the Nine-Tails ' whereabouts and having me lead the sealing efforts, the Hidden Kumogakure would still be so persistent, sending people to launch a sneak attack, which has led to the current situation."
Seeing the worry on Mito Uzumaki's brow, Bai Yu suddenly Satori on.
I finally understand the cause of death of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, in the original story.
In the original story, after Hashirama Senju defeated Madara Uchiha, he returned to Konoha Ninja Village and mysteriously disappeared and died in his prime.
Tobirama Senju became the second Hokage of Konoha, and the First Shinobi World War broke out shortly afterward.
After the Shinobi World War ended, during negotiations with the Kinkaku Kumogakure, the Second Raikage was assassinated by Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
After the Second Hokage led his men to escape, they were pursued by the Kinkaku and Ginkaku Force. In the end, he fought to the death to cover their retreat.
Kinkaku and Ginkaku have also been lost to the dustbin of history.
Why would Hashirama Senju, who was able to dominate the Warring Sengoku period and easily capture and suppress the Nine Tailed Beasts, die?
Bai Yu finally understands that the battle with Madara Uchiha, where he used too many of his hand seal healing techniques, likely caused his cells to age rapidly.
Unable to suppress the backlash from injuries sustained in years of battle, he eventually died.
Of course, Bai Yu believed that Mito Uzumaki was hiding something. One of the things she was hiding was that Hashirama Senju had killed his close friend Madara Uchiha, and he was still troubled by it, which led to his depression and ultimately his death from his injuries.
Bai Yu's sudden appearance, replacing Hashirama Senju in the battle against Madara Uchiha, effectively allowed Hashirama Senju to survive.
Otherwise, Mito Uzumaki has given us now would already be devastating news.
Of course, Mito Uzumaki's pointing out of Hashirama Senju's existence is also to show that Konoha Ninja Village has a final bottom line.
If Bai Yu were to actually attack Konoha Ninja Village, Hashirama Senju would definitely not stand idly by.
