Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Can That Thing Kill People?
"Shut up!" Sasuke yelled, and his Susanoo smashed the Third Hokage into pieces with another devastating punch.
Hashirama suddenly frowned—and his Wood Clone shattered into splinters on the spot.
"Shodai!" Namikaze Minato quickly stepped in to calm him down. "Don't get angry. That's the Third Hokage under the Impure World Reincarnation. He's already long dead."
"Huh?" Hashirama was taken aback and tilted his head to look at Minato. "Who are you?"
Minato replied, a little awkwardly, "Uh…"
Then he suddenly turned around and pointed to the kanji on the back of his Hokage cloak. "Ah! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm the Fourth Hokage."
"Oh~! I see!" Hashirama clapped his hands in surprise. "The village has made it to the Fourth Generation already! I see, I see! So, is the village peaceful now?"
"That..." The Fourth said awkwardly, scratching his head, "If you're asking me, I really don't know. I also died... before the Third Hokage."
"Ah? Is that so?" Hashirama was dumbfounded. "You weren't sealed along with Hiruzen. How did you die?"
"I sacrificed myself sealing the Nine-Tails!" the Fourth said proudly. "I'm a hero of the village—!"
Hashirama: "..."
"That damned fox can kill people?!" Hashirama was confused. "By the way, who's the Fifth Hokage now?"
"It's your granddaughter," Uchiha Shisui interrupted flatly.
Hashirama: ...
"Little Tsunade..." Hashirama almost collapsed on the spot. "The village... is it still okay... it still exists, right?"
"You—what are you worried about?" Minato smiled awkwardly.
"Ah, she's my eldest granddaughter, so I spoiled her," Hashirama said with a sheepish grin. "In the end, she even picked up my gambling habit. It's called a... haha..."
"Hey! Brother!" Tobirama interrupted sharply, pointing behind them. "Do you care about the guy over there?"
"Huh?" Hashirama finally remembered the Third Hokage, who had just been brutally smashed by Sasuke. "Hey, brother! Wait a sec, I have something to ask him!"
"Tch! Impure World Reincarnation again. Who's out there abusing the jutsu I created?" Tobirama said, frowning deeply.
"I have to say, the forbidden techniques and policies you left behind, Second Hokage, have caused a lot of trouble for the village," Orochimaru said with a mocking laugh. "Same as this time."
"You!" Tobirama pointed at Orochimaru. "You damn snake, are you trying to attack Konoha again?"
"Sigh~ No matter what era it is, war never ends," Hashirama said, scratching his head helplessly. "Speaking of which, this jutsu really isn't good. Tobirama, you should've listened to—"
"Brother, shut up, I'm talking to the younger generation!" Tobirama snapped back, arms folded with his trademark disdain.
"But—" Hashirama wanted to say something more.
"Shut up!" Tobirama barked.
Hashirama promptly ran to the corner and squatted down silently.
Everyone: "..."
The God of Shinobi has no dignity.
"Don't worry," Orochimaru said with a grin. "I'm not the one who summoned you this time. So I didn't place any restrictions on your personalities. You were brought back under my master's request."
"Hey, Sasuke over there—stop for a second!" Orochimaru shouted toward the ongoing sound of ping-pong destruction, which sounded like a concert of chaos. Eventually, Sarutobi Hiruzen went offline again.
"Master?" Tobirama frowned, then looked at Uchiha Shisui. "An Uchiha… that cursed clan again."
"Shut up, Tobirama!" Hashirama yelled suddenly. "Don't talk like that!"
"Brother, you're too naive!" Tobirama snapped back.
"I won't argue." Shisui raised his hand calmly. "The reason I was called this time was to ask for your help."
"Hmph! What help could the cursed Uchiha clan possibly need?" Tobirama said with disdain.
"Heh~" Shisui chuckled. "Do you still think our Uchiha clan is evil? Do you even know why Sasuke is attacking the Third Hokage?"
"Hmph!" Tobirama scoffed. "Beating a dead man? He's clearly no good himself."
"Tobirama!" Hashirama snapped again. "Listen to what he has to say!"
"The Third Hokage ordered Itachi to massacre the Uchiha clan, branded him a traitor, and then made him infiltrate the Akatsuki to spy on them," Shisui said coldly.
"Impossible!" Tobirama protested, frowning. "Unseal Hiruzen and let him speak for himself."
After being revived again, Hiruzen glanced around.
Tobirama stared him down. "Monkey, tell me about the Uchiha."
Hiruzen hesitated for a moment—then realized it was already too late. Itachi's secret was out.
He hurriedly explained, "Lord Hokage… Everything was for Konoha. Itachi always cherished peace and never followed the clan's extremism.
When they planned a coup, we entrusted the village's future to him. He eliminated the rebels, infiltrated Akatsuki on his own, and sacrificed everything… to protect Konoha."
"This is the cursed fate of the Uchiha clan," Tobirama said coldly. "Even on the brink of extinction, they attempted rebellion?"
"Pfft~" A laugh echoed. "Isn't anyone ashamed of those words?"
"Who dares talk like that to the Second Hokage?!" Hiruzen snapped—and finally looked toward the source of the voice.
There stood Uchiha Shisui.
"Impossible! You're supposed to be dead!" Hiruzen cried out in disbelief.
"Hehe~" Shisui smirked. "Not only am I alive, but the Uchiha clan wasn't wiped out by you either."
"Impossible!" Hiruzen muttered, losing his composure. "How could this be?!"
"What's going on, Monkey?" Tobirama asked. Hiruzen looked down, silent.
The Uchiha are supposed to be gone, he thought. If they're alive, what excuse do I have now?
"Let me explain," Shisui said, glaring at Hiruzen. "Second Hokage, you're the root of this."
Orochimaru chuckled darkly. "If you hadn't raised such a heartless disciple, maybe the Senju clan wouldn't have nearly vanished—leaving only one."
"Nani?! What did you say?!" Tobirama roared, his chakra flaring explosively.
"Relax, I'll explain everything." Orochimaru grinned. "It all started after your death.
Once the Third took power, he consolidated authority. Along with Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura, they formed the so-called Konoha Council. They started wiping out political opposition and targeting clans that threatened their control."
He continued, "First on their list was the Senju clan, once the most powerful in Konoha."
Hashirama and Tobirama looked sharply at Hiruzen, who kept his head lowered in shame.
"During the Second Great Ninja War, the Land of Fire initiated the conflict. After Mito Uzumaki died, the Third Hokage used the opportunity to send countless Senju members to the frontlines. They were slaughtered."
"By the end of the war, only Tsunade and her younger brother Nawaki remained."
Boom! Tobirama erupted with killing intent.
"Tobirama!" Hashirama slammed his hands together, suppressing Tobirama's chakra with sheer force. "Let him finish!"
"Now we come to my master—my brother, Namikaze Naruto," Orochimaru smirked. "He led Konoha to victory during the war. His strength rivaled yours, Hashirama. And... he was Tsunade's lover."
"Nani?!" Hashirama was stunned. "Tsunade's lover?!"
"During one battle, despite a clear advantage, Nawaki—just a Genin—was sent to the front under the excuse of a lack of manpower. He died on the spot."
Orochimaru turned his cold gaze on Tobirama, as if to say, This is the apprentice you raised.
"When Naruto wasn't in the village and Tsunade lacked the power to fight back, she kept working—rising through the ranks, aiming to become a high-ranking official."
"Later, Tsunade was informed your grandson, Senju Orangeshui—one of the Eight Prodigies of Konoha—was ambushed and needed a medical-nin urgently."
"You know what happened next." Orochimaru said, his voice low. "Your grandson died. Tsunade was ambushed by Iwagakure shinobi. Just as she was about to die, Naruto arrived and saved her."
"He stormed back into Konoha and beat the hell out of Hiruzen. If Tsunade hadn't pleaded, the old man would've died then and there."
"After that, Konoha entered a golden age under Naruto."
"Until the Third Great Ninja War..."
Orochimaru's eyes flashed coldly.
