Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

Faced with the overwhelming attacks, Tobirama Senju remained calm and fearless.

His eyes narrowed slightly, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and with a flash, he disappeared from sight.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

When Tobirama Senju reappeared, he was already on the north side of the east gate of Konoha Village, which was the right flank of the four major clans.

The Second Hokage moved with lightning speed, quickly forming three hand seals before issuing a low shout:

"Water Release: Big Explosive Water Wave!"

Unlike Kisame Hoshigaki, who spewed out a waterfall, Tobirama Senju had a massive wall of water rise in front of him.

Even though it was the same water-style ninjutsu, and even though the amount of chakra he unleashed was far less than Kisame Hoshigaki's, the amount of water he gathered was more than three times that of Kisame.

The towering water wall, tens of meters high, collapsed with a deafening roar, crashing down on the stunned ninjas of the four great clans.

The fire-style ninjutsu flying everywhere was swallowed up by the towering wave.

Fire Release ninjutsu is like a match thrown into water; it reaches its limit with a "whoosh."

Even the most powerful fireball, after bursting into a cloud of white mist within the water curtain, was forced to extinguish.

What? You mean the even more powerful Fire Extinguisher?

Don't be ridiculous. In Madara Uchiha's hands, the Great Fire Annihilation Technique was a world-destroying super ninjutsu.

However, in the hands of Sarutobi clan ninjas, it is not even as threatening as the Great Fireball Technique.

After engulfing the Fire Release and Wind Release ninjutsu, the monstrous waves also swallowed up the Konoha ninja who launched the attack, instantly turning the forest outside the east gate of Konoha Village into a boundless ocean.

Surprisingly, the towering walls of Konoha remained completely unaffected.

The Konoha ninjas on the city wall looked down and were shocked to find that the water had not touched the wall at all, but had remained at a distance of about a fist's width.

Then they discovered that all the Konoha ninjas who had been swallowed by the giant wave had emerged from the water, and not one of them had died.

The Second Hokage's mastery of Water Release techniques can only be described as miraculous.

Tobirama Senju said in a deep voice, "This is the final warning. From now on, I will show no mercy."

He then turned to Orochimaru and said, "Orochimaru, and Yamanaka Hatsukyu, don't interfere."

"The root cause of this internal war in Konoha is my poor judgment of people back then, which sowed the seeds of a fatal hidden danger."

"The corruption of the Third Hokage of Konoha and the collective, as well as the greed of the upper echelons, are ultimately my fault."

"The war that has ensued should be resolved by me personally. Don't let your hands be stained with the blood of Konoha ninja."

Orochimaru nodded slightly, pulling Yamanaka Hatsugu back until they were at an absolutely safe distance before stopping.

His actions proved that he would not hold the Second Hokage back.

Orochimaru sneered, "They've started fighting after all."

"The Sarutobi clan ninjas have really lost their minds, the Shimura clan is blinded by hatred, and the Utatane and Mitomon clans are used to currying favor with the powerful. They actually actually fought against the Second Hokage."

"How pathetic. The Second Hokage was so kind. He didn't come to overthrow the Third Hokage at all, but to save these Konoha ninjas who were consumed by greed and hatred."

"As a result, they resorted to violence against the Second Hokage, which was tantamount to suicide."

"Sarutobi-sensei, is he simply unable to see the Second Hokage's gentleness, or is he deliberately sending his own clansmen to their deaths?"

Yamanaka Hatsukyu maliciously speculated, "Orochimaru-sensei, is it possible that Hiruzen Sarutobi, used to accepting others' decisions, has forgotten that he is the Hokage who needs to make decisions and bear the consequences?"

Orochimaru glanced at Chu Jiu: "Nonsense, Sarutobi-sensei has been the Hokage for twenty years. He even dared to sideline the Fourth Hokage, how could he not make the decision himself..."

He couldn't continue.

The Sand Village showed hostility, but the Third Hokage did nothing until they attacked the Land of Fire, at which point he reluctantly accepted the outbreak of war.

The Land of Rain became a battlefield between the three great nations, and the Third Hokage could only passively deal with the attacks from Iwagakure and Sunagakure, ignoring the Land of Rain's pleas.

It wasn't until Amegakure reached its breaking point and Hanzo launched a furious, indiscriminate counterattack that he reluctantly accepted the defeat of the Konoha ninja and regretfully retreated to the Land of Fire.

Sakumo Hatake's reputation was too high, so Danzo Shimura spread rumors to attack him, but the Third Hokage remained indifferent and did nothing.

It wasn't until Sakumo Hatake, having lost all hope in Konoha, chose to commit suicide to prove his innocence that he painfully accepted the loss of Konoha's White Fang.

Orochimaru remembered.

In recent years, whether it was the outbreak of war or internal conflicts, the Third Hokage never took the initiative to make decisions, but instead kept accepting the established facts.

In other words, it's perfectly reasonable for Hiruzen Sarutobi not to stand up and stop his own clansmen.

Orochimaru sighed deeply: "Perhaps you're right. Sarutobi-sensei is too passive. He doesn't act like a Hokage at all. He's more like a nice guy who's always a step behind in everything he does."

The two fell silent, and the Konoha ninjas around them also fell silent.

The fighting on the battlefield continued.

Tobirama Senju's figure appeared and disappeared unpredictably, his chakra showing no signs of weakening, causing chaos and defeat for the ninjas of the four major clans.

But Masao Sarutobi discovered that although Sarutobi's clansmen were beaten bloody and had broken bones and tendons, not a single one of them died on the battlefield.

The cunning and treacherous elder of the Sarutobi clan realized that this man was indeed the Second Hokage, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and extremely gentle towards the Konoha ninja.

Sarutobi Masao suppressed his unease with greed, forcing his clansmen to disregard vital organs and launch a frenzied, suicidal attack.

The despicable tactic worked as expected, and Tobirama Senju was immediately thrown into a panic.

Yamanaka Chuku, monitoring the changes in Orochimaru's emotions, immediately noticed the problem and whispered to him, "The Second Hokage is indeed powerful. He uses Water Release ninjutsu as if it were Sea Release, and his Flying Thunder God Technique and Impure World Reincarnation make him virtually invincible."

"But he's too gentle. He says tough things, but he doesn't really fight back against the ninjas of the four major clans. And that old man Sarutobi Masao saw through him. This can't go on."

"No matter what, the four major clans have a large number of ninjas, and the Anbu ninjas are also reluctantly helping. If this stalemate continues for a long time, the Second Hokage may suffer a loss."

Orochimaru nodded and said, "You're right, and besides, there are too many people in the Sarutobi clan."

"The chakra of the Impure World Reincarnation has its limits. If high-intensity battles are maintained for a long time, the impure body may suddenly collapse."

"It seems we still need to lend a hand..." said Chu Jiu from the mountain.

"No!"

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "The Second Hokage is very tough. He made it clear that he would handle it himself. If we interfere, we will only get scolded by him."

"However, I can summon reinforcements that the Second Hokage cannot refuse."

Shan Zhong Chu Jiu followed with a mischievous grin, saying, "I know who you're talking about."

The master and apprentice exchanged a glance and simultaneously grinned mischievously: "The First Hokage, Lord Hashirama Senju!"
