Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

Not only does he like to act cool and aloof, but his emotional intelligence is also quite low. After only a few words, he made a sarcastic comment about his father's advanced age and inability to maintain many techniques.

But they were still quite reliable, arriving at a speed not much slower than their secret service, and the guards performed their duties well.

There's a certain beauty in wanting to be a rebel but lacking the resolve...

The divine rabbit has two aspects and belongs to the category of "divine rabbit".

The technique that Hiruzen Sarutobi released was called by himself: "Earth Release: Earth Spear: Full-Time Coverage".

It is indeed Earth Release: Hardening Technique, and it also has the side effects mentioned by Fugaku Uchiha.

But that's someone else.

For Hiruzen Sarutobi, who now has abundant chakra and a thorough understanding of the five elemental natures, those drawbacks are irrelevant.

"A ninja's body is far too frail, like a cannon made of glass..."

"I must protect myself at all times! I can't hold back a single drop of chakra!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and exhaled a large amount of smoke into the arena, covering the Rashomon Formation.

Fire Release chakra gathered at his fingertips, and instantly a huge fire erupted!

"The form of 'Fire Release: Ashes Burning' cannot be blocked by Rashomon..."

Sakumo Hatake's eyes lit up: "Moreover, the Third Hokage was not affected by the hardening technique and can still use the Five Elements at will."

"As expected of the Third Generation Lord..."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded, his three-tomoe Sharingan fixed on Orochimaru, and unconsciously commented, "His vitality and posture are practically demonic..."

In his three-tomoe-like vision, Orochimaru, though burned by the fire jutsu, seemed unaffected, constantly shedding his skin like a snake as he slid across the ground.

Is this even human?

"Oh, you mean to say?" Sakumo Hatake asked, his face full of curiosity.

"No, no, no, Lord Sakumo, I didn't mean to say anything..." Fugaku Uchiha's face darkened.

Why can't I control my mouth?

Does getting married and having children really make me more mature? Would that even help?

The members of the secret service present were starting to lose their composure.

First they said the Hokage was old, then they commented that Orochimaru wasn't human...

What an accurate prediction about the Uchiha clan!

Inside the venue.

Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly formed two hand seals, and a massive water tornado rose from the ground.

When water and fire collide, extremely hot steam bursts out.

The Rashomon, whose internal structure was damaged by the high temperature, contracted when it suddenly encountered cold water, causing cracks to appear on the door.

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his steel staff, chakra coiling around it, and plunged it straight into the steam...

He imbued it with Wind Release and swung it forcefully!

Instantly, several Rashomon gates were reduced to fragments by the immense force of the shockwave!

Fugaku Uchiha's three-tomoe sword captured this scene, but his mind hadn't yet processed it.

This is what he saw:

Hiruzen Sarutobi charged into the water and fire, sweeping away the steam and the towering Rashomon gate with a single blow...

what?

This scene was witnessed by Shimura Danzo and Root, as well as Jiraiya carrying Asuma and Kakashi, and Tsunade.

"Oh no! The old man's gone berserk! He's going to clean house and kill that stinking snake!" Jiraiya's vision blurred, and he tossed the two little kids to Sakumo Hatake, ready to step in and mediate.

"Spare his life, old man!"

"You don't deserve to die! You don't deserve to die!"

Sakumo Hatake then casually tossed the two little ones to Shinnosuke, who was standing nearby.

Asuma and Kakashi were tossed around, completely powerless to resist.

At this moment, Kakashi, known as the number one genius of the Ninja Academy, realized the gap between Ninja Academy students and veteran Jonin, and a deep sense of loss overwhelmed him.

It also swept through Asma.

Sakumo Hatake immediately stepped in front of Jiraiya: "The Hokage did not give any orders to let anyone in."

Jiraiya jumped up and down in a panic: "Oh no, what if that stinky snake kills us! Be a little more flexible, Lord Sakumo!"

Fugaku Uchiha's expression turned very serious.

Sakumo Hatake's speed was so fast that even his three-tomoe Sharingan had difficulty keeping up with it.

If it were close combat...

Indeed, a great reputation is well-deserved.

But Fugaku Uchiha stared at Sakumo Hatake, who stood unmoved in front of Jiraiya, and even placed his hand on top of Sakumo's 'White Fang' short sword, using his gaze to intimidate Tsunade, who was about to make a move.

Here comes the critical commentary again, but this time it's in my mind: "This is a family matter; stopping others is just offending them..."

"Besides..."

Just thinking about the Third Hokage's ferocious attacks made Fugaku Uchiha's teeth ache: "Didn't Clan Chief Isshin say that the Third Hokage was old? In what way is he old?"

"Even the legendary Susanoo would have a hard time withstanding this blow!"

Danzo Shimura's eyes were somewhat vacant.

Wasn't this old guy overwhelmed by the pressure and anxiety brought on by the Hokage position?

This level of energy he displayed is probably the limit of his peak!

What does this mean?

Did a serious illness lead to a sudden enlightenment, or did some former Hokage possess me? Maybe I should get a fever myself sometime…

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued forming hand seals in mid-air.

"Earth Release·Earthquake Core!"

An entire piece of land was lifted up by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and under this impact, Orochimaru, who was hiding inside, was forced to reveal himself.

His guerrilla plan failed.

But the competition isn't over yet!

The master and apprentice exchanged a glance to assess each other's condition.

No need to stop.

Orochimaru reached into his throat, pulled out a finely crafted ninja sword, and slashed at Hiruzen Sarutobi while shouting:

"You idiot Jiraiya! Just stand aside and watch, don't interfere with my sparring session with the teacher!"

"It's good that you're coming down, it'll be a good opportunity for me to test your strength..." Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted, brandishing his staff.

Jiraiya immediately deflated, but then perked up again: "Old man, kill this stinking snake!"

The master and apprentice began a contest of ninja tools.

The sword and staff clashed, and Orochimaru's vertical pupils contracted. He thought to himself, "Wait, when did this old man become so strong? He's almost as strong as Tsunade..."

Orochimaru trembled all over, and ripples appeared on his skin as he used this method to deflect the force.

This is thanks to his unique technique: software modification.

If anyone else did what he did, internal bleeding would be the least of their worries…

"Good lad, invulnerable to swords and spears, impervious to water and fire..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi grew increasingly excited as he fought, intoxicated by the thrill of wielding extraordinary power and the novelty of witnessing diverse ninjutsu.

"Try this one!"

As more and more chakra accumulated on the staff, Hiruzen Sarutobi cleaved the staff with all his might.

Boom!

Orochimaru's pupils contracted. The moment the sword and staff made contact, he sensed something was wrong and quickly turned to the side to deflect the force, only to be sent flying through the air.

The steel rod slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater, with sand and gravel flying everywhere.

Fugaku Uchiha wrinkled his nose and grinned, feeling quite emotional.

No wonder the Uchiha clan lagged behind the Hokage lineage...

Judging by the intensity of this master-disciple fight, you'd really think it was a case of cleaning up the sect!

Look, this is real fighting!

If he has a son in the future, he will raise him in the same way!

He should be thrown into the battlefield from a young age to experience the intensity of the ninja world!

"Teacher, your surname is Sarutobi, not Senju!"

After being sent flying, Orochimaru muttered a curse in his mind, then lay on the ground with his mouth wide open. A huge snake shot out from his throat and charged straight at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The slime on the snake's body lay down, and upon contact with the ground, it reacted like some kind of acidic substance, emitting a corrosive sizzling sound.

During this time, the Jonin arrived one after another, along with some Chunin and Genin.

The batches naturally arrived in order, and the Sarutobi clan's assistants, Ino-Shika-Cho, were the first to arrive in this wave.

"Good timing!"

It was unclear whether they were referring to the ninja or Orochimaru's attack, but Hiruzen Sarutobi roared and swung his hardened fist at the snake's head without hesitation!

The shattered snake head sent blood and flesh flying everywhere.

From the lower half of the snake's body, a brand new Orochimaru emerged and delivered a powerful punch to Hiruzen Sarutobi's abdomen!

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even try to dodge, and threw a punch just as fiercely.

The two exchanged punches, each taking a few steps back.
