Starting with a list of Naruto episodes watched by Tobirama Senju

Chapter 13 Foolishness

[They were ambushed during the alliance ceremony by the Gold and Silver Brothers, who had launched a rebellion.]

At this point, Tobirama led several students to retreat to the grove, leaving only seven people including Tobirama.

Tobirama judged that there were twenty enemies, all of whom were elite members of the Kinkaku unit from Kumogakure.

[Tobirama decides to act as bait to distract the enemy so that his students can ambush the enemy's Gold and Silver Brothers and create an escape route.]

Before the operation, he handed over the position of Third Hokage to Hiruzen Sarutobi and went to meet the enemy alone.

[Personally, I feel this feels like a forced, plot-driven death.]

[It feels like, "Hey Tobirama, it's time for you to get your lunchbox," and Tobirama replies, "Okay~ but my people can't be nobody."]

In the end, Tobirama died at the hands of two attendants of Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) in "Journey to the West."

[Actually, Tobirama could have escaped on his own, but in the world of martial arts, one is often forced to act against one's will.]

His mission was to protect Danzo's students, and incidentally, to strongly promote the Will of Fire, protect the future of Konoha, and elect a new Hokage.

Therefore, for the sake of the plot, he had to die.

"So this is how I died."

Seeing how he died, Tobirama felt nothing in particular.

He just felt that he was too arrogant on the screen.

The villages of Kumogakure and Konoha have never been friendly villages for generations.

He signed a peace treaty with the enemy, but only brought a few of his students with him.

What about the dark side?

What about Konoha's ninja forces?

None of these exist.

Such arrogance and conceit are simply utterly foolish.

Tobirama refused to acknowledge that the idiot on the screen was himself.

Just as Lin Tian said, this has a bit of a plot-driven feel to it, forcibly lowering his intelligence.

In his view, if he went to sign a peace treaty, he should either go alone, or if something went wrong, he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.

Alternatively, lead a large army there to deter the radicals in the Hidden Cloud Village from having any other ideas.

What about myself on the light screen?

He only brought six students with him.

To put it bluntly, these six students are a burden.

They can't escape.

They couldn't defeat the enemy.

Under such circumstances, it would be unreasonable for him not to die.

"We're sorry, teacher, we've dragged you down."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt very guilty.

He blamed himself for his poor skills, which forced the teacher to cover their retreat and ultimately sacrificed himself.

Tobirama's eyes flickered a few times before he said, "It's alright, Master won't blame you."

As for Danzo...

After hearing Tobirama hand over the position of Third Hokage to Hiruzen, he remained silent.

At this moment, he really wanted to ask Tobirama-sensei, "Where exactly is he inferior to Hiruzen? Why was the position of Third Hokage given to him and not to me?"

Is it because of strength?

Danzo felt that he and Hiruzen were evenly matched, and if they were to fight, it was possible for either of them to win.

Is it because of the brain?

Don't be ridiculous. With Hiruzen's stupidity, he's nowhere near as smart as Danzo.

So, what exactly is the reason?!

Danzo clenched his fists, gritting his teeth as he stared at Hiruzen's retreating figure.

He dared not question Tobirama Senju, and could only direct his anger at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Danzo: Just you wait, Hiruzen. This time I will prove that I am smarter and stronger than you!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was still consumed by guilt for causing his teacher's death and did not notice Danzo's change.

However, Tobirama Senju knew his student very well; he had been secretly observing Danzo all along.

Seeing his appearance, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I felt that Danzo, with his rather dark mind, was indeed unsuitable to be the Third Hokage.

Similarly, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is still rather naive, is not suitable.

However, if I really had to choose between the two, Hiruzen Sarutobi would be more suitable.

Of course, this is only the 'history' shown in the light screen images.

In reality, Tobirama didn't think he would die there.

Since he won't die anytime soon, there's no rush to find a successor for the Third Hokage.

However, Lin Tian's explanation about the needs of the plot made Tobirama seem thoughtful.

Clever as he is, he has already discerned from numerous clues that he might be a character in a certain work.

By the way, at the beginning of the video, Lin Tian said that he was most familiar with "Naruto".

"Looks like I am a character from Naruto."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Knowing this, Tobirama Senju felt both frustrated and happy.

He was frustrated because he and everything in the ninja world were products created by others.

His thoughts, his talents, and his strength are all just settings within the work.

He was happy because with the appearance of the light screen, he had the opportunity to break free from his original destiny.

As long as one can change their own destiny, that is to say, one will be completely free from the control of that person, that is, the author of this work.

"The Gold and Silver Brothers from Kumogakure?"

"Wash your neck clean and you'll see."

Tobirama sneered, and the light curtain continued to illuminate.

After Tobirama's death, the six surviving students returned to Konoha Village. One of them, Hiruzen Sarutobi, naturally succeeded Tobirama as the Third Hokage, following the last words of the Second Hokage.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen, along with his close buddy Danzo, the scapegoat king, became Konoha's overt and covert agents, maintaining a superficial peace in the village.

"That can't be right. What do you mean by 'peaceful on the surface'? Does that mean that Konoha Village, under Danzo's rule, is actually quite dark behind the scenes?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi found it hard to accept Lin Tian's description of a seemingly peaceful situation.

However, he did not refute the term "best buddy".

In his heart, he always considered Danzo to be his good friend and brother.

Not only Danzo, but also Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were his good friends and brothers.

According to his plan, once he became the Third Hokage, he would definitely get these good brothers to help him.

As long as they are united, Konoha Village will definitely get better and better.

However, the narration on the screen aroused Hiruzen Sarutobi's suspicion.

Can he and his friends really govern Konoha Village well?

"This kid must be talking nonsense. I can't possibly be the scapegoat."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was doubting himself, and Danzo was also unable to accept it.

He absolutely cannot accept the title of "King of Scapegoats".

"Wait, one in the open and one in the shadows? Are we going to make a scapegoat?"

"So, the 'light' one must be Hiruzen, the Hokage, and I must be the 'dark' one?"

Danzo was quite sharp-minded when he was young.

The Hokage is the leader of the village and rarely gets involved in dirty or strenuous work, but these tasks still need to be done by someone.

In other words, he was responsible for doing the dirty work?

Since he's the one doing dirty work, it's only natural that he should take the blame.

Thinking of this, Danzo glared fiercely at Hiruzen and cursed, "You damned monkey! You get all the benefits, but I get all the blame. Is this how you treat your good friends?"

"Danzo. Me."

"Alright, stop arguing for now. We can talk about this later."
