Starting with a list of Naruto episodes watched by Tobirama Senju

Chapter 26 Danzo: Hiruzen, you shameless bastard!

The Third Hokage was intrigued that even the Anbu had gotten their hands on him without getting hurt, and the images and sounds on the screen also piqued his curiosity.

He then made the same decision as Tobirama in Konoha 37.

"You four go and guard the door. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

The four members of the Dark Guard were also very curious about the light screen.

However, the Hokage's orders are absolute, and they dare not disobey the Third Hokage's orders.

After the four of them left the room, the Third Hokage overheard Lin Tian saying that he was Kakashi Jr.

Suddenly, a lot of question marks popped up in his head.

"There's something wrong with this logic."

"Kakashi is my junior. How can an elder act like a junior?"

"This light screen is utter nonsense."

Despite saying that, the Third Hokage still watched the images on the screen very seriously.

[From the first volume of "The Book of Lin," which describes him as "the strongest Hokage known as the Doctor," and Orochimaru's description of him as the God of Shinobi.]

[The book "The Book of Battle Formations" refers to the researcher who is called "Professor".]

[The "cool factor" (or "prestige") of the game has been steadily declining with each version update.]

[The controversy surrounding the fact that the Third Hokage's resurrected form wasn't from his younger days meant that even at his advanced age, he remained a major star in the ninja world.]

Tobima's office.

Upon seeing the above words, everyone's expressions were somewhat complicated.

Danzo, in particular, actually laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious!"

"The strongest Hokage and the ninja god that your disciples talk about, you're even fooling yourself, hahaha."

"Shameless."

Danzo's unrestrained laughter annoyed Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Didn't you see? Lin Tian was talking about the 'Book of Lin' and the 'Book of Array.' It's obvious he's patching up the later settings. I definitely didn't say those things."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Believe it or not.

The people in Tobirama's office already knew that Naruto was just a work from that world.

Since it is a work of art, there will naturally be oversights, omissions, and oversights.

It's perfectly normal to release some setting sets to fill in the gaps from previous sets.

Therefore, the people in Tobirama's office didn't react much to the two setting books, "The Book of Lin" and "The Book of Zhen".

Except for Danzo, who was laughing wildly.

The Third Hokage, however, in his office, seemed somewhat unpredictable upon seeing the two sets of setting books.

"Fortunately, the First Hokage and Tobirama-sensei are no longer here, and Minato sacrificed himself to seal the Nine-Tails. So in reality, I am the strongest Hokage, that's for sure."

"But why are some of my circumstances described in those two books?"

The Third Hokage was eager to know the answer to this question, but the video on the screen wouldn't stop just because he was thinking.

Before Naruto entered its berserk phase, it wouldn't have been a problem for Hiruzen to claim the title of strongest among a group of sword-wielding ninja thugs.

At the time, his ANBU members would all boast, "The Hokage is truly amazing!"

Therefore, whether in the manga or official guidebooks, the Third Hokage was initially positioned as the strongest Hokage.

"What? I'm actually a character in a comic book?"

Upon seeing the comic book on the screen and the image of his character in the official guidebook, the Third Hokage's composure instantly crumbled.

He couldn't understand how he, who was capable of independent thinking and had his own ideas, could be a character in a comic book.

Fortunately, he was quite old and had experienced a lot, so he recovered quickly after a brief moment of losing his composure.

However, his expression was unusually unpleasant.

Before the brothers Hashirama and Tobirama became invincible, the true test of the Third Hokage's fighting prowess was the unparalleled clash between Hokage, a feat unmatched throughout history.

[As a veteran Hokage, Hiruzen was initially intended to be a kind and benevolent old Hokage of Konoha. However, due to the protagonist's early portrayal as a weakling and his later rise to power, coupled with the turning point of the Uchiha incident, his original image was contradicted.]

[Translation, in essence, is the author's unconscious creative process combined with the audience's exploration, which allows Hiruzen to be reinterpreted and given a new character design.]

[Given that Hiruzen is the Hokage, serving two terms—the longest tenure, with a long and complex career, and numerous plot holes—we'll focus on the backstory of his battle with Orochimaru in Part 1.]

[Key figures: Hiruzen, Orochimaru.]

In the Third Hokage's office, his already grim expression turned even uglier when he saw himself fighting Orochimaru on the rooftop, with the First and Second Hokage in front of him. His expression was similar to that of his eldest son when he died.

"If what this light screen says is true, then Konoha will face Orochimaru's attack tomorrow."

"And I have to face the First Hokage and the Second Hokage at the same time, as well as Orochimaru, this traitorous disciple."

Just thinking about it made the Third Hokage tremble with fear.

The ninjas of this generation in Konoha may not know how powerful the First and Second Hokage were, but surely he does?

"The only thing to be thankful for is that the First and Second Hokage were resurrected by Orochimaru using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

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

"In this state, their strength will be severely weakened."

"If Jiraiya and I were to fight together, we might be able to defeat the First and Second Hokage."

As for his public persona, he would never admit to it.

He, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha, is definitely not a character from a manga.

He is a living, breathing human being.

While the Third Hokage was still struggling with his identity, Tobirama made a sudden realization upon seeing these words.

After the previous review video ended, he was thinking about it.

Why hasn't Hiruzen stepped down yet, even though he's so old and looks so aged?

I only found out after watching the video that Hiruzen actually defeated two Hokage.

In other words, Konoha had a Fourth Hokage before his second term.

Perhaps it was because of the Fourth Hokage's untimely death and the lack of capable figures in Konoha at the time that Hiruzen continued to serve as Hokage.

Tobirama had thought things through very clearly. He didn't blame Hiruzen for his decision to become Hokage again, since he didn't know whether the situation at the time was during wartime or peacetime.

Anyway, he felt that Hiruzen must have had his reasons for returning to the Hokage.

Danzo, however, was different.

He had always coveted the Hokage position.

Hiruzen spoke up about covering the rear before him, and he had to admit that.

But you've already stepped down, and now you want to serve as Hokage a second time? Isn't that going too far?

And me?

Where is Danzo Shimura?

Could it be that I died around that time too?

Hiruzen sensed Danzo's resentment, which made him shake his head and smile bitterly.

The relationship that was so hard to improve now seems to have been a waste of effort.

When Hiruzen was a ninja, the Second Hokage was in charge of his class, and he was in the same class as Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, and he debuted as the center of attention.

The arrangement of two boys and one girl in the same class foreshadows future reforms by Hiruzen, which will be discussed later.

After becoming a Jonin instructor, Hiruzen took Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade with him.

Upon seeing this, Tobirama Senju suddenly remembered that Orochimaru was quite a talent.

He's been so busy lately that he'd completely forgotten about this person.

To avoid making a blunder, he whispered to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Is this Orochimaru really the student you took on last year along with Tsunade and Jiraiya?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and replied, "It should be him."

"Okay, that's good. After you finish watching the video, take me to meet him."

Oh no, is Tobirama planning to take down Orochimaru ahead of schedule?
