"Big brother, you've finally come to see Little Hashirama! I've missed you for two years."
"Big brother, it's been two years, and you're still as handsome as ever."
"Big brother, you'd better have a good get-together with me soon, Little Hashirama really misses you!"
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly shifted from tense to somewhat awkward.
Looking at the God of the Shinobi World, the most revered and respected being in the entire Shinobi World, calling him a Little Hashirama, it still felt very catchy.
An attitude that completely disregards one's dignity.
This completely overturned their understanding.
Like an invisible hammer, it relentlessly hammered down their bottom line.
Is this still the God of the Shinobi World they know?
If given a choice, I would choose not only the ninjas of Kumogakure, but also the younger generation of Konoha Ninja Village.
They absolutely did not want to see such an offensive scene.
If they were given another choice, they would rather never have been in this place.
What they found most unacceptable was that the boy, whom the dignified God of the Shinobi World addressed as "Big Brother," accepted all the flattery from the God of the Shinobi World without hesitation.
This feeling is like swallowing a fly – so frustrating!
Of course, this scene seemed somewhat natural to a few people like Hiruzen Sarutobi who knew the inside story.
At least, if others knew that this young man had killed Madara Uchiha.
I instantly realized how lucky I was to have latched onto this powerful patron.
"Zhen, come here quickly, let me tell you about how amazing my older brother is. If you knew, you'd definitely be amazed at how well I've latched onto him."
Hashirama Senju the bottle from Bai Yu, took a swig, turned around, and laughed loudly.
That enthusiasm was radiant on his face, without the slightest hint of pretense.
The Second Raikage's face immediately darkened. Looking at Hashirama Senju, who seemed determined to talk for hours before finally letting him off the hook, his scalp tingled. Without thinking, he hurriedly spoke.
" Hashirama Senju, I won't stop you from catching up with your old friend. I hope you won't miss the peace talks in the small town bordering the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire in three days."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
After saying these words, the Second Raikage clearly intended to slip away with his tail between his legs.
Unfortunately, he had only taken three or five steps when Bai Yu's voice rang out.
" Second Raikage, please wait!"
Tobirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki tensed up immediately, as did Hashirama Senju.
The three of them were the strongest fighting force in Konoha Ninja Village.
In a real fight, they could also capture everyone in the Kumogakure.
However, at this crucial juncture in the peace talks, they did not want to create any unnecessary complications.
Any one of these events could make it difficult for Konoha Ninja Village to maintain its standing in the Shinobi World.
If Bai Yu really intends to make a move, it would be a nightmare for them.
The Second Raikage's expression darkened slightly, and he turned around to speak.
" Bai Yu, I don't care what your relationship is with Hashirama Senju and Konoha Ninja Village."
"However, if you were to do something outrageous, I'm afraid Konoha Ninja Village wouldn't want to see that."
The true extent of their abilities was unclear regarding this suddenly appearing boy whose background was completely unknown.
However, it was something that could make the God of the Shinobi World swallow a Little Hashirama in one gulp.
That's probably a skill in itself.
Following closely behind were the Kinkaku Ginkaku, along with a group of elite Cloud Ninja. Their expressions also darkened, and they stared at Bai Yu with wary eyes.
Sensing the atmosphere suddenly becoming tense again, Bai Yu remained calm, smiling as he took a swig of wine.
" Second Raikage, don't be too nervous. Little Hashirama calls me 'Big Brother,' so of course I won't put Konoha Ninja Village in a bad position."
"However, I have a friend named Katakuri the Half-Immortal, who is an expert in divination and is almost always right. I've also learned a little bit of his skills."
"So, the first thing I noticed when I saw you were about to suffer a bloody disaster was that I hoped you would be careful and not let yourself be caught off guard, especially by being wary of your subordinates..."
The expressions of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku changed slightly, and a strange light flashed deep in their eyes.
However, this slight change in color quickly disappeared.
The Second Raikage was taken aback at first, then let out a cold snort.
"What a 'Katakuri the Half-Immortal are! What a 'bloody disaster' you've caused! Should I then call you 'Bai the Half-Immortal '?"
"However, you should save your breath and stop trying to sow discord. We people of the Kumogakure are all upright and honorable men."
"Besides, within the entire Kumogakure, who could kill me?"
"If there's nothing else, Bai the Half-Immortal, I'll be taking my leave now!"
After saying these words, the Second Raikage's body suddenly surged with lightning, and the Lightning Release Chakra Mode he had developed instantly enveloped his entire body.
The next moment, he shot away like a thunderbolt, tearing through the void.
The ground beneath my feet crumbled like a spider web.
Seeing this scene, which was like a show of force, demonstrating his extraordinary abilities, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but roll his Byakugan.
He really had an impulse just now to tell the whole story of how Bai Yu killed Madara Uchiha.
I'd love to see what the Second Raikage's expression will be when he learns all this.
Will they really be scrambling to latch onto Hashirama Senju and hurl Little Zhen at him?
However, as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Tobirama Senju quickly suppressed it, pondering whether he should make full use of his adopted older brother's role.
Go and scam the others.
" Tobirama, you'd better not try anything with other people."
Seeing Hashirama Senju the people from Kumogakure put away his usual playful smile and spoke with a rare serious expression.
As Tobirama Senju brother, Hashirama Senju was well aware of what his younger brother was thinking, given his petty and narrow-minded nature.
Tobirama Senju's expression changed slightly, and finally he gave a wry smile and said apologetically.
"Big brother is right, Bai Yu. I was sorry earlier. If you want to pursue this, you can come at me. It has nothing to do with Konoha Ninja Village."
" Bai Yu, come after me, this dying man."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hashirama Senju's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground red.
It had been full of energy and vigor, but suddenly it looked like it was on its last legs.
An otherwise normal face ages rapidly, with a large number of wrinkles appearing, making one feel as if they have aged twenty or thirty years in an instant.
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others' expressions changed drastically.
They had heard quite a bit about the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, over the past two years.
Among them are many well-known rumors that the First Hokage died from severe injuries sustained during a backlash.
However, to their utter surprise, the First Hokage standing before them now was perhaps more terrifying than death itself.
