They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 95 is finished! The other side has cheaters!!

"Fuck!!!"

This was practically the only thought that simultaneously flashed through the minds of the Third Kazekage and Onoki, two Kage-level powerhouses.

Senju Hashirama!

And then there's Tobirama Senju, who always looks annoyed, as if everyone owes him money!

Weren't they long ago dead?
The Third Kazekage and Onoki's expressions instantly turned ugly.

Cold sweat poured down his back, soaking his clothes.

How is this possible?
What an international joke!
"An illusion! It must be an illusion!"

The Third Kazekage forced himself to calm down, gritting his teeth and growling softly.

That's right! It must have been that old man Hiruzen Sarutobi who knew that the forces on the main battlefield were insufficient, so he had Orochimaru use this despicable tactic to buy time!
Their goal must be to wait until the fighting on the eastern and southern fronts is over before concentrating their forces to deal with them!

"Hmph! You dare to show off your petty tricks!"

Onoki had the same thought and tried to use his voice to cover up his inner horror.

However, the next moment.

The red-armored Hashirama Senju gave them no time to react or guess.

He simply took a step forward casually and clapped his hands together!
"Wood Release: The Tree Realm is coming!"

Rumble——!
The next moment, the earth began to tremble violently!
Countless thick trees burst from the ground at an incredible speed, growing wildly and instantly covering the Sand Village and Iwa Village allied ninja below who hadn't even had time to react!

The tree branches, like venomous snakes with life, precisely entangled and bound each ninja, rendering them unable to move!
In just a moment!

One technique!

Two ninja villages, thousands of well-trained ninjas, including their elite Jonin, were all brought under control by this sudden sea of ​​trees!

There wasn't even a chance to resist...

Looking down at the "green forest" filled with wailing and despair, the Third Kazekage and Onoki were completely dumbfounded.

This terrifying scale...

This power is utterly unreasonable...

This...this guy...is really Hashirama Senju!

The two Kage-level powerhouses opened their mouths, but couldn't utter a single word.

"Gentlemen, may we have a talk now?"

Just then, Orochimaru below raised his head, a mysterious smile on his face, and slowly spoke.

chat?
Screw you!
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, the Third Kazekage and Onoki's faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

beat?
What a slap in the face!

Let's not even talk about whether the two of them combined are enough to defeat the First Hokage alone.

The lives of thousands of ninjas from their two villages are now in the hands of this person!
If we really continue fighting, even if they manage to escape by chance, they'll be left with no one to command when they return. What's the point then?
Moreover, Orochimaru's methods are too bizarre!
If he can summon legendary dead people like the First and Second Hokage, who knows if he can summon other even more terrifying old monsters as well?

For example... Madara Uchiha?
The thought of that name sent chills down Onoki's spine.

"Ahem... Lord Orochimaru..."

The Third Kazekage swallowed hard, his voice dry as he spoke.
“We…can talk.”

"Let's talk this out. Young man, don't be so impulsive..."

Onoki quickly forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

And so, with just one devastating move, "Adventure of the World of Trees," by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the battle on the western front, before it even truly began, ended in a way no one had expected, without a single drop of blood.

This extraordinary battle report was transmitted to the other two battlefields at top speed through special channels.

Command camp of Hidden Mist Village.

The Third Mizukage looked at the intelligence report in his hand, his hand holding the pipe trembling slightly, oblivious to the ash falling all over him.

"The First Hokage... Hashirama Senju? Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees?"

"Thousands of Iwagakure and Sunagakure ninja... captured in a single move?"

He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things.

Is this intelligence... definitely not fake news released by Konoha to undermine their morale?

But the source of the intelligence is absolutely reliable!

Command camp of Hidden Cloud Village.

The future Third Raikage, A, looked at the almost identical intelligence report, his dark face now so gloomy it seemed to drip water.

"Hashirama Senju... Tobirama Senju..."

"Orochimaru……"

He kept repeating those names to himself, his eyes filled with apprehension and... a hint of unbelievable frustration.

Ultimately, the two Kage-level powerhouses, each holding a certain advantage on their respective battlefields, almost simultaneously, filled with resentment and helplessness, issued the same order:
"All troops... retreat!"

It's not that they didn't want to fight, it's just that... the other team was cheating!
Damn it! Hashirama Senju, who finally died after enduring so much hardship, has reappeared!

How is this still playing?
And so, to the astonishment of countless ninjas, the Second Shinobi World War, a catastrophe instigated by the four great nations and expected to engulf the entire ninja world, ended abruptly, with much ado about nothing.

……

A few days later, deep in a dark and damp cave.

"What?! What's going on?!"

Black Zetsu's unique hoarse voice was filled with bewilderment and frustration.

It was originally lurking in the shadows, happily waiting for the four great nations and the Land of Fire to fight to the death, with rivers of blood flowing, so that it could take the opportunity to cause trouble and gradually advance its grand plan to resurrect its mother, Kaguya.

But... what happened to the promised Ninja World War?
How the hell did it end like that?

"This chakra...this feeling is..."

However, just as Black Zetsu was about to explode in a frenzy, Madara Uchiha, who had been sitting cross-legged and as silent as a withered tree, suddenly showed a strange movement in his single eye.

He instinctively raised his hand and pressed it against his chest.

In the entire ninja world, from the past to the present, there is only one person who can give him this feeling...

Boom!

The next moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the top of the cave!
Countless thick tree roots and branches, like living things, forcefully pushed open and tore apart the thick rock wall!
Sunlight, which had been absent for a long time, shone down from the cracked ceiling, casting dappled patterns on Uchiha Madara's aged and withered body.

Amidst the blinding sunlight and billowing dust, a tall and familiar figure slowly emerged.

He was clad in bright red armor, his long black hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and he was silently watching Uchiha Madara below with a complex and inscrutable expression on his face.

"Long time no see, Madara."

Hashirama Senju's voice, carrying a hint of emotion at a long-awaited reunion, echoed in the silent cave.

"Hashirama..."

Madara Uchiha slowly raised his head and called out the other's name. His voice was somewhat hoarse from the long silence, but the pride and fighting spirit that ran deep in his bones remained undiminished.

"Are you looking at me like this... out of pity, Hashirama..."

Madara Uchiha slowly stood up. Although his body was old and frail, and he could barely stand, his eyes were still sharp as knives.

He could clearly sense that the Senju Hashirama before him was not a genjutsu, not a disguise, but the real Senju Hashirama, possessing immense life force and chakra!
"Do not……"

Hashirama Senju shook his head, the complexity on his face gradually fading, replaced by a resolute and serious expression.

"Humph!"

Before Hashirama could finish speaking, Madara Uchiha's aged body suddenly burst forth with astonishing speed, appearing beside Hashirama in a flash. His withered hand, carrying a sharp gust of wind, aimed straight for Hashirama's vital points!
Even when his life is over, he is still Madara Uchiha...

"Wait! Lord Madara! This is a trap!"

Seeing this, Black Zetsu also snapped out of his daze from the hasty end of the war.

Although it didn't know how this Hashirama Senju had appeared, even a fool could tell that it was definitely not a good thing!
However, just as Black Zetsu was about to make a move!
call out!call out!call out!
Several golden chakra chains, like venomous snakes emerging from the void, suddenly shot out from the surrounding shadows and instantly bound Black Zetsu's body tightly!
"What?! A sealing technique?!"

Black Zetsu was shocked. It could sense the powerful sealing force contained in these chains before it could even react.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Several crystal-like objects, shimmering with a ghostly blue light, were thrown over and landed precisely around Black Zetsu.

Immediately afterwards, these blue crystals shone brightly, their energy connecting with each other, instantly forming a square barrier that emitted strange fluctuations, completely enveloping Black Zetsu!
Zizzi——!
Black Zetsu tried to transform, but found that his body was as if it had hit an invisible barrier, and he could not break through the barrier no matter what he did!
"This is... Sage Chakra... It's you!"

Black Zetsu suddenly stopped struggling, and its faceless face seemed to be "looking" in a direction in the darkness.

In the entire ninja world, there is only one person who can use Sage Mode to this extent...

pat, pat.

Crisp footsteps sounded.

Orochimaru's figure, with his signature sinister smile, slowly emerged from the shadows.

He looked at Black Zetsu, who was trapped by the magical barrier, with great interest, and couldn't help but smile.

"You don't actually think that information about 'terrain modifiers' and 'individual chakra weapons' is so easy to get, do you, Blackie?"

Orochimaru's voice carried a hint of mockery.

"This is a 'luxury single room' that I tailored just for you. Do you like it?"

Since he knew about Black Zetsu's existence, some of its abilities, and its millennium-long plan to revive Kaguya in advance, how could he not have a backup plan?

The so-called "confidential information" that he deliberately leaked before was a carefully laid trap!
One of the purposes was, of course, to test Black Zetsu's abilities, such as how it steals information and how it can disappear without a trace.

His second objective was to secretly attach his specially made tracking marks to those "bait".

Once Black Zetsu accessed and took away those documents, it was as if he had acquired "navigation coordinates" for himself.

Then, Orochimaru could trace these marks in reverse to find Black Zetsu's lair, which is... Madara Uchiha's hiding place!

"what?!"

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Black Zetsu was completely stunned, and an unbelievable chill surged from the depths of its inhuman consciousness.

It...it was actually outmaneuvered?!
From beginning to end, it was like a clown, jumping around in someone else's script?!

But how is this possible? !
In this world, apart from his mother Kaguya, there shouldn't be anyone who knows its true existence and purpose!

……

Just as Orochimaru successfully captured "a wild black creature," the battle on the other side was also nearing its end.

Although Madara Uchiha was a legendary ninja, he was old and his physical functions were severely declining, and he had not awakened the power of the Six Paths.

Against the reanimated Hashirama Senju, who held no slack and possessed unlimited chakra and immortality, he had virtually no chance of fighting back.

boom!
Madara Uchiha collapsed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. He gasped for breath, looking at Hashirama Senju, who was completely unharmed and whose chakra had not diminished in the slightest. A complex yet relieved expression appeared on his aged face.

"That's really... an amazing technique... that can bring the dead back to life in this way..."

"yes……"

Hashirama Senju walked to Madara's side, sat down cross-legged, and spoke with a hint of melancholy.
"It was invented and improved by Tobirama and a very talented junior... To be honest, I was quite startled when I was first summoned by this technique."

"Tobirama...?"

A knowing glint flashed in Madara Uchiha's single eye.
"That guy... he's truly a genius when it comes to developing forbidden techniques..."

"I never imagined that I, Madara Uchiha, would ultimately fall to such an incomprehensible technique..."

His voice gradually lowered, carrying a hint of desolation at the end of a hero's life.

"Hey... Madara..."

As Hashirama Senju watched his dear friend's breath grow weaker and weaker, he was about to tell him about Orochimaru's ideas about the transformation of ninja society, the development of productivity, and the possibility of true peace in the future.

However, before he could finish speaking, he discovered that Madara Uchiha had completely fallen silent.

That eye, too, lost its sparkle forever.

Hashirama Senju reached out and gently closed Madara Uchiha's eyes, a wave of indescribable melancholy washing over him.

However, at this moment.

"Shh!"

Tobirama Senju appeared like a ghost beside Madara Uchiha's corpse. Without saying a word, he pulled out a huge scroll and quickly formed hand seals!
"seal up!"

Without any hesitation, he sealed Madara Uchiha's corpse completely into the scroll.

He, Tobirama Senju, would never make the same mistake again! All those troubles stemmed from his elder brother's momentary soft-heartedness back then!

If only he had retrieved Madara Uchiha's body immediately...

"Forehead……"

Hashirama Senju watched his younger brother's swift and decisive actions, his lips twitching slightly as he scratched his head in exasperation.

"Hey Tobirama... can't you at least consider my feelings as the older brother?"

"Humph."

With a cold expression, Tobirama Senju carefully put away the sealing scroll, glancing at his elder brother.
"If you want to catch up with Madara Uchiha, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Just have Orochimaru use the Impure World Reincarnation to summon him out and have a good chat with him."

"Now, we have more important things to do."

As he spoke, Tobirama Senju turned his sharp gaze toward Orochimaru, who was not far away.

More accurately, it was thrown at the black object in Orochimaru's hand that was trapped by the Sage Mode barrier and was trembling.

"Uh...that's true..."

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju nodded and also turned his gaze in that direction.

He noticed that the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Orochimaru, who had a smile more cunning than a fox, all had their eyes focused on him, filled with "research," "scrutiny," and "curiosity."

Trapped within the barrier, Black Zetsu felt a chill run straight to his head.

Oh... he doesn't have a forehead...

It's over... Mother...

These guys... why are they looking at me like I'm some precious experimental subject?!
