Yamanaka Ino: "That's disgusting."
Ino Yamanaka: "I knew those old fogies from the black-framed world would say the same thing!"
Yamanaka Ino: "As expected, whether it's black-rimmed or gold-rimmed, the old man is equally disgusting!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."
I don't know why.
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly felt numb.
Hearing these foul words directed at it.
It seems... I don't feel much anymore.
Tobirama Senju: "Hmph!"
Tobirama Senju: "Monkey, do you think you'll get used to it?"
Tobirama Senju: "Then you're wrong."
Tobirama Senju: "I still had a sliver of lingering affection for him, so I didn't want to be so direct, nor did I want to sound like Naruto with black frames..."
Tobirama Senju: "You won't get used to it, nor will you become numb to it."
Tobirama Senju: "Give them a taste of their own medicine, and you will experience the journey of Naruto from two different worlds."
Tobirama Senju: "No, it will be multiplied a hundredfold!"
Tobirama Senju: "Haven't you figured it out yet?"
Tobirama Senju: "Your grandson seems to be ignored. Have they really been forgotten?"
boom--
Within the underground base of the root tissue.
A thunderclap seemed to resound in Hiruzen Sarutobi's head.
It immediately understood what Tobirama Senju meant.
Even if I understand...
It's absolutely impossible to prevent, and it's absolutely impossible for them to refuse.
Refusing... could very well sever the last of Sarutobi's life... completely.
...
The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:
[Hehehe~]
"Is the reason for not disclosing it to protect our rights?"
Orochimaru shook his head and smiled.
"Sarutobi-sensei, you're rotten to the core."
"Perhaps, you are playing the role of that old man who has no prejudice or hatred towards Naruto-kun?"
"He also frequently provided financial assistance to Naruto and constantly took the opportunity to instill the Will of Fire in him."
"Judging from your performance just now, you must be extremely surprised by Naruto-kun today."
"This is completely different from the Naruto you remember, isn't it?"
"Including changes to the water gates."
"Senpai Sarutobi, don't deny it. The reason you didn't choose me as the Fourth Hokage back then was because Minato was more obedient, wasn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze's eyes flashed.
He couldn't help but look at Kushina.
However, Kushina didn't seem to care much about him, and didn't even glance at him unconsciously.
Seeing this, Minato Namikaze could only sigh silently.
He was well aware of this as well.
[Kushina's personality.]
If it weren't for Naruto...
Perhaps, even getting him out of the sealed space is impossible for Kushina.
Hashirama Senju's brows were furrowed so deeply that he was almost cross-eyed.
Tobirama Senju wasn't that surprised.
[Just looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, one could see the shift from disappointment to despair, and then to pity.]
[Tobirama Senju could already foresee what would happen to Hiruzen Sarutobi afterward.]
[Kushina, a member of Mito's family.]
[From that look alone, you can tell she's a woman with a fiery temper.]
There are no restrictions here.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi was confined to his spot.
However, despite being constantly provoked and filled with resentment, Kushina did not choose to take action.
This already explains a lot.
[Obviously.]
[They already had a plan for how to deal with Hiruzen Sarutobi.]
[die? ]
A superficial punishment.
In this world, there are many punishments crueler than death.
[even...]
Tobirama Senju narrowed his eyes slightly.
[They don't even have to endure physical pain...]
As for things like "God of Ninja" or "Strongest Hokage,"...
[As soon as Orochimaru mentioned it.]
Tobirama Senju would naturally understand what was going on.
It's nothing more than that.
[After the death of his elder brother, the true God of Shinobi, the First Hokage.]
This plunged the once peaceful ninja world into war.
[But I lack the ability to suppress everything.]
[This led to the Cloud Village Incident.]
[The weaker and younger Hiruzen Sarutobi used this method to intimidate those outside the village.]
[And there are also some petty thieves within the Land of Fire.]
Perhaps things were normal at first.
Even if Tobirama Senju had terrible judgment, he wouldn't choose someone like trash.
[After obtaining resources that only the Hokage is qualified to acquire.]
Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
However, they are gradually corrupted by power.
Gradually, what was originally just a delaying tactic—a bluff using someone else's power—became a mere pretense.
It has become...
Tobirama Senju shook his head.
The consequences of failing to recognize one's own limitations are severe.
But what if the cost can be shifted to someone else?
That would mean that instead of recognizing their own shortcomings, things would only get worse.
Deep down, however, I know my own limitations.
[Unwilling to admit it.]
So, it means constantly shifting the burden of the costs onto others.
[This is how we maintain "decency."]
[Clearly, this is the case with Hiruzen Sarutobi.]
[And he never stopped, internally portraying himself as an invincible ninja god.]
Externally, the approach is to continuously... sacrifice one's own flesh to feed the eagles.
[So. ]
Based on this point.
[Tobirama Senju could roughly guess why the Uzumaki clan was wiped out overnight.]
Tobirama Senju closed his eyes.
Ultimately, it was his own choice.
This has removed two of Konoha's greatest strengths.
[If Tobirama Senju hadn't allowed Konoha to merge with... before he died, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist killing himself.]
["monkey."]
"You really aren't going to say anything?"
Tobirama Senju opens his eyes.
[Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi.]
If you don't say it.
He then spoke for himself.
After all, Tobirama Senju knew that his elder brother couldn't have thought that far ahead.
"Teacher Tobirama..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his mouth.
[The words that were just about to come out, ready to be spoken.]
[After encountering Tobirama Senju's murderous gaze.]
They backed down.
It slowly lowered its head.
"Teacher Tobirama."
"After Lord Hashirama and you both passed away."
"Konoha has fallen into a very passive situation."
"And to change this situation..."
"The most direct and simplest method is to create another Hashirama Senju... the God of Shinobi."
"At the same time, it also caused problems within their own ranks."
"And this mission was volunteered for by Danzo himself."
"He said, 'Although Tobirama-sensei chose me to become Hokage.'"
"But my methods were still too lenient."
"If that's the case, then let's make changes."
"Konoha is more than just one Kage."
"In the shadows of Konoha, there is another shadow."
["..."
Tobirama Senju's eyes turned to disgust, filled with contempt.
["hehe."]
"That's enough."
"You don't need to say anything."
"If I let you continue, wouldn't it seem like everything was forced upon you, and everyone else was the one at fault?"
