Starting with a list of Naruto episodes watched by Tobirama Senju

Chapter 30 Hiruzen: "Danzo, you disgust me."

After making a series of sarcastic remarks, Orochimaru dropped his pretense and revealed his true colors, claiming to have possessed the female ninja's body.

[The next vessel will be Sasuke. Hiruzen was shocked for a whole year, thinking to himself: This woman in front of me is no ordinary woman; she is a hermaphrodite.]

"It seems his experiment was a success."

Looking at Orochimaru, who had been transformed into a woman, on the screen, the Third Hokage couldn't help but sigh once again.

He always knew that Orochimaru wanted to live forever.

To this end, Orochimaru spared no expense in conducting many forbidden experiments.

While he was in Konoha, the Third Hokage was there watching him from time to time, which slowed down his experimental progress.

Sure enough, once he left Konoha, his experiment succeeded within a few years.

"Orochimaru, you're becoming more and more evil by using your soul power to possess other people's bodies."

The Third Hokage secretly resolved that he must not let anything happen to Sasuke tomorrow, given that Orochimaru had set his sights on Sasuke this time.

Otherwise, his mentally ill brother would probably go completely insane.

With Orochimaru already eyeing Konoha, that's enough. But if Itachi Uchiha joins the fray, given Konoha's current size, things really won't be easy for them.

While the Third Hokage was contemplating Sasuke and Itachi, the expressions on the faces of everyone in Tobirama's office were far more interesting.

They never imagined that Orochimaru would turn into a woman.

"This forbidden technique is extremely evil."

Devouring the other's soul and taking over their body—this forbidden technique even made Tobirama want to complain.

He was a man who had no taboos, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to develop so many forbidden techniques.

Even if you think researching forbidden techniques is simple, it still requires a great deal of manpower, resources, and lives.

"Hiruzen, you're Orochimaru's teacher. Why do you think he wanted to possess someone else's body?"

Hiruzen thought for a moment and replied, "He probably wants to live forever."

"Hmm? Tell me more."

"Yes, Tobirama-sensei."

Hiruzen paused briefly to organize his thoughts before saying, "Orochimaru's parents died in World War I, and because he witnessed so many deaths and knew the fragility of life, he has always been contemplating the meaning of life."

"Was this his original intention in wanting to achieve immortality?"

"Yes, he told me that he believed the human body contained a power that could not be used in a lifetime, so he wanted to live forever in order to learn all ninjutsu and master the truth of the world."

"I see."

Tobirama nodded.

It's good to have ideals.

He thought that Orochimaru decades later would be the kind of person who only thought about achieving immortality but didn't know why he wanted to achieve immortality, a person without any dreams.

The dream of mastering the truth of the world may seem absurd, but it is still a legitimate dream.

Tobirama's efforts in pursuit of his dream demonstrate his acceptance of Tobirama's ideal of achieving immortality.

Speaking of immortality, who in this world doesn't want to live forever?

At the very least, he wanted to live forever.

We need to spend more time finding a way to bring peace to the ninja world.

However, taking over someone else's body is indeed extremely unethical.

Furthermore, from his perspective, the forbidden technique of possessing another person's body must have enormous side effects.

Considering the compatibility between body and soul, most side effects will likely occur in the soul.

Tobirama is an expert in the realm of the soul.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique is used to summon the souls of long-dead ninjas back to the world of the living and revive them in physical form.

To call it resurrection is really just using a living person's body as a vessel.

Moreover, as time goes by, the soul of the resurrected person will become weaker and weaker, thus losing the ability to maintain the spell, and will return to the underworld to recuperate.

Therefore, in Tobirama's view, Orochimaru's forbidden technique would definitely harm his own soul.

To eliminate this side effect, the compatibility issue between body and soul must be completely resolved.

"It's not easy to do that."

"Why don't we wait until this video is over and then ask Lin Tian?"

On the screen, the Third Hokage was still fighting the First and Second Hokage, and Lin Tian's words rang out again as appropriate.

At this moment, Hashirama used Wood Release to trap Hiruzen again, but Enma transformed into "Diamond Wall" to block it.

[Tobirama used genjutsu again: Dark Travel Technique, which blocked Hiruzen's vision.]

After all, Hiruzen was 69 years old, and his health was declining day by day.

He had no choice but to steel himself and risk his life to unleash the forbidden technique: Corpse Demon Sealing.

Two shadow clones sealed the Hashirama and Tobirama brothers, while the main body sealed Orochimaru.

Orochimaru, who was trying to show off, saw Hiruzen get angry, and he got angry too.

With a slight lift of his index and middle fingers, he wielded his greatsword to severely injure Hiruzen.

Hiruzen, in pain, was no longer able to drain Orochimaru's soul, but he was determined to take away all of Orochimaru's techniques, which he had been obsessed with researching ninjutsu. With great difficulty, he used the Reaper Death Seal to sever Orochimaru's hands.

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

[In the end, Hiruzen believed deeply in Konoha, and his Will of Fire lived on forever.]

[Before dying, he smiled and forgave his adopted son.]

[An unparalleled battle throughout history, a human tragedy in which three generations were determined to beat their adopted son to a pulp has come to an end.]

"So that's how I died."

Looking at the screen where he smiled as he took Orochimaru's hands away, the Third Hokage's expression was quite complex.

Before the video started, he didn't believe what was being said on the screen.

He didn't truly believe it until he saw himself die.

Because if he were truly faced with the situation depicted on the screen, he would genuinely make the same choice.

We have no choice but to do it this way.

There was no rescue outside the Four Purple Flame Formation, and inside they were about to be surrounded and beaten by the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Orochimaru.

Furthermore, this traitorous disciple also wanted to harm Sasuke. In order to prevent Itachi from going insane, dying together with Orochimaru was the best option.

In summary, given the early stages of the story where the protagonist is a loser seeking sympathy, the Third Generation represents the goal he strives to surpass. He is also an approachable old man who cares deeply about everyone in the village and has an incredibly kind heart.

【Okay, just praise the Will of Fire and that's it.】

Alright, that concludes our discussion of the good side of the kind old man, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Now, let's talk about his "bad" side.

Starting with Shippuden, Hiruzen gradually began to resemble Danzo.

"Huh? What kind of lewd words are these? What do you mean by 'becomes my shape'?"

Originally, Danzo was quite pleased when he saw that Hiruzen was about to be shown his "bad" side.

The second sentence revealed that Hiruzen had transformed into his form.

If Hiruzen were a delicate and beautiful woman, Danzo wouldn't mind if she were transformed into his own shape.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi was a strong and burly man, which Danzo found unbearable.

"Monkey, are you with Danzo?"

Tobirama was also finding it hard to stand.

He used to think that Hiruzen's feelings for Danzo were just simple friendship.

Even though Hiruzen was particularly tolerant of Danzo, he didn't think about it in that way.

Hearing Lin Tian say this now, he suddenly realized that Hiruzen had such feelings for Danzo.

However, as their teacher, he would not interfere in his students' private relationship matters.

It seems he needs to reconsider his choice for Hokage.

"Impossible, that brat Lin Tian is definitely talking nonsense."

Hiruzen stood up, looking very excited.

No wonder he was agitated. If word got out that this was going to happen, would he still be able to get married?

For the sake of his wife, he had no choice but to sever ties with Danzo.

"Danzo, you disgust me."

Danzo: ? ? ?
