"For Konoha, we'll do anything!"
"If Tobirama-sensei had chosen me as Hokage back then, there wouldn't be so many problems now!"
"The Konoha you see now can't possibly be like this."
"With so many problems left unresolved... it was impossible for them not to erupt now!"
"If I had stepped forward sooner back then... the Hokage wouldn't have been Hiruzen! Konoha wouldn't be like this now!"
["If it weren't for me, Konoha would be in who knows what state now!"]
"What did I do wrong?!"
"I've merely inherited Tobirama-sensei's will, and I'm devoted to Konoha!!"
Danzo Shimura stood tall and proud, his gaze fixed directly on Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju.
[His gaze showed absolutely no evasion.]
[The words fell.]
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened in disbelief.
But in an instant, the hope in his heart burned even more fiercely.
[yes. ]
Isn't that what Danzo was like?
[If it didn't act this way, it wouldn't be the shadow of Konoha it knows.]
["Danzo!"]
["Shut up!"]
"Be mindful of your manner when speaking to Tobirama-sensei and Hashirama-sama!"
"What attitude am I?!" Shimura Danzo sneered.
"I'm just stating a fact."
"I have a clear conscience regarding Konoha!"
Onoki: "Heh, the darkness of Konoha."
Nagato Uzumaki: "What a 'clear conscience'!!"
Onoki: "It's hard to imagine how Shimura Danzo has managed all these years."
Onoki: "It didn't even realize how much the Third Hokage had 'trained' it."
Shimura Danzo: "!!!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."
Is there?
Okay, yes, there is.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never admit it.
Anyway, I am the Hokage.
...
["Kushina."]
[After taking a few deep breaths, Tsunade...]
Wipe away your tears.
Then she called out softly.
Kushina knew what Tsunade meant.
["good."]
[Buzz—]
[Kushina finished speaking.]
[In an instant.]
The golden chains, radiating light, hurtled towards Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, who were immobilized and bound in place.
[Splash—]
In the blink of an eye, the two were bound together like rice dumplings.
Then, like a caterpillar, it crawled on the ground.
[Minato Namikaze saw this.]
[I instinctively took a step back.]
This feeling... is not pleasant at all!
[He was already traumatized when he was in his chakra soul state.]
[It has a physical form...it's hard to imagine that kind of pain.]
Nine-Tailed Buddha (Yang): "No need for further words, I understand!"
[Um! ! ! ]
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura simultaneously widened their eyes.
[Especially Danzo Shimura.]
It was bewildered.
[Previously, the restriction only limited their movement and chakra.]
But it wasn't that intense.
[The two of them at this moment.]
[What's sealed by the Vajra Seal isn't just the physical body.]
Even their souls were imprisoned.
The chakra within his body was being suppressed completely.
Let alone a transfer.
[Even the instinctive physical reaction of chakra release is insufficient.]
[Previously, he was bound by Hashirama Senju's Wood Release.]
Danzo Shimura still harbored a glimmer of hope.
[After all, it's the Sharingan forbidden technique, Izanagi, which can be performed with just a thought.]
But now, let alone putting it into practice.
[It means that when you blink, you have to use all your strength to lift your eyelids.]
[and...]
That burning sensation.
[Deeply into the soul!]
It felt as if countless books were constantly piercing my flesh and even my soul.
Even letting out a scream is a luxury.
["beat."]
[Tsunade's tone was calm.]
Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were taken aback.
Can I get a call?
"Just don't kill him all at once; I can heal his injuries."
That's great!
[Just bear with it a little longer.]
[Tobirama Senju is about to have another heartfelt conversation with himself.]
[Whoosh—]
[The next second.]
Everyone was stunned.
Even Tobirama Senju himself was stunned.
[The fastest ninja in the world, the Yellow Flash, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.]
But, before Minato Namikaze.
The fastest ninja in the world is Tobirama Senju.
But now.
[Tobirama Senju activates the Flying Thunder God Technique seal he just left on Danzo Shimura.]
[Prepare to use Flying Thunder God Technique to get there.]
But before his body could reach him...
However, there was someone even faster than him!
[The fastest man in the entire ninja world during that era.]
We lost!
*Snap*
[Next.]
A crisp slap sounded.
"Wait! Big brother!"
Tobirama Senju called out hastily.
[Then he raised his hand.]
*Snap*
A heavy slap landed on Hiruzen Sarutobi's aged left cheek.
The left and right sides are now even.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was so pleased he rolled his eyes.
[The left and right sides of the face became visibly red and then swollen.]
But soon, red chakra overflowed from the Adamantine Seal.
[They immediately spotted the injuries on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face and rushed towards them.]
[When that ball of red chakra seeped into Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face.]
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened.
The skin on his old face was all wrinkled together.
[It's easy to imagine the kind of pain Hiruzen Sarutobi is enduring right now.]
However, the injuries are healing at a visibly rapid pace.
So, should Tobirama and Hashirama, who have only just begun to vent their frustrations, wait?
[No. ]
That's impossible.
Danzo Shimura's pupils contracted sharply.
[The next moment.]
[In its line of sight.]
[Hashirama Senju's fist appeared.]
[And it keeps getting bigger.]
The distance is getting closer.
Just when Shimura Danzo thought he was about to die.
*Snap*
A resounding slap landed on its old face.
"Want to die?"
"It's not that easy!"
It's hard to imagine that Hashirama Senju would display such intense anger.
*Snap*
Before Shimura Danzo could react.
[Tobirama Senju's slap followed closely behind.]
Sasuke's eyes turned red with envy.
[Whoosh—]
Sasuke instantly teleported there.
["Wait a moment!"]
"I want one too!"
[Regardless of how much the injury has recovered.]
Holding onto a force that wouldn't kill, he slapped her hard across the face.
*Snap*
Danzo's eyes rolled back, and he was about to faint.
But it soon regained its senses.
The pain suffered deep within the soul is a hundred times more intense than that suffered physically.
It is completely incapacitated.
We must be fully aware and accept everything.
"I want one too!"
"Wait, put on your gloves first, they're dirty!"
The cockroaches also joined the team.
Then, a strange scene unfolded above the arena.
[A crowd is lining up to beat up two elderly men, both over fifty years old.]
[Below.]
The imprisoned Konoha villagers were dumbfounded.
This scene was extremely stimulating for them.
Did the seemingly invincible Third Hokage...lose?
No! Impossible!
Third Hokage, please pull yourself together!
These evil guys...they're not good people!
Stop clinging to the past!
"They insulted you like this... Damn it, Third Hokage! Break free from your restraints and use your unparalleled power to kill them all!!"
This kind of emotion is not unique to one or two people.
[It kept making a whimpering sound.]
The onlookers from other villages were dumbfounded.
[This...this person's brain has been washed way too thoroughly, hasn't it?]
[certainly. ]
The group of Konoha villagers quickly quieted down.
[Nara Shikamaru holds the back of his head with both hands.]
[He called out.]
Then she raised her chin.
"With so many people, two aren't enough."
"Aren't there many below?"
"Just control your strength."
"That way we don't have to wait in line."
"Oh, right, there are quite a few outside the arena."
"They'll all be arrested soon. They bully a lot of people, including many ordinary villagers."
