Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Speaking of majesty.

All the shadows of the five major countries.

No one can compare to Tobirama.

This is a natural born leader!

Just this brief exchange, as well as the expressions of Jiraiya and Kushina, and most importantly, the looks of Tsunade and the other two, were enough for Tobirama to capture some key information.

"Yes, Second Grandpa, I am the fifth Hokage of the village now."

"Eh? Tsuna, are you the Hokage? Then..."

After hearing this, Hashirama seemed to be resurrected with full health. He stood up suddenly and was about to say something.

"Aniga, shut up!"

Tobirama immediately raised his voice slightly and shouted.

"Oh, okay..."

Hashirama closed his mouth as if feeling aggrieved.

It was as if Tobirama was the older brother and Hashirama was the younger brother.

This completely reversed order of relationship can actually be said to be a microcosm of the decades-long brotherly relationship between Hashirama and Tobirama.

They have always been like this in the past.

Chapter 501: Depression in Silence

"Tell me, Xiao Gang, what is the current situation of the village? What kind of enemy is it that requires you to summon us?"

After looking at his elder brother helplessly, Tobirama turned his head and looked directly at Tsunade, and spoke in an unprecedented solemn tone.

Tobirama knew it very well.

The fact that his granddaughter had to be resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation must be a huge crisis. It is very likely that if he is not careful, the village will be in great danger of collapse.

"Yes, Second Grandpa, this is what happened..."

Tsunade took a deep breath, and then she told Hashirama, Tobirama and others about a series of events that had happened in the village over the years, including the Nine-Tails Rebellion more than ten years ago, and tried to explain in the most concise words. Of course, only when it came to the matter of Uzumaki Menma, Tsunade still used more detailed words to describe it. She was different from Danzo, who would definitely stand from his own perspective to discredit others as much as possible and make explanations that were extremely favorable to himself.

Tsunade's character destined her to be realistic. She would say what the truth was that she knew about what happened. One is one and two is two. Tsunade would not hide anything and would not exaggerate anything.

Even though the matter involved her mentor, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Jiraiya, Tsunade still told them everything clearly.

Of course, the most important point is that the people standing in front of Tsunade at this moment are her most respected great-grandfather and second grandfather, especially Tobirama, who is known as the smartest person in the history of their Senju.

Want to play tricks in front of Tobirama! ?

Isn't that like an old man hanging himself - seeking death?!

Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, who were sitting nearby, were planning to say something when Tsunade was describing some decisions made by the former Konoha F4, but when they met Tobirama's extremely cold expression.

All the courage that surged in the two people's hearts turned into nothingness.

This was the mentor whom they once respected the most and also feared the most.

Trying to play tricks in front of their teacher! ?

Even if all of them were tied together, they couldn't even touch a hair of their teacher.

It’s better to be honest.

They don't want to be beaten up by their own teachers at their old age. Don't think this is an exaggeration. Based on their understanding of their own teachers, this is something their teachers will definitely do.

Didn't you see that Tobirama's expression was becoming more and more gloomy and dangerous as Tsunade described it.

The aura has become extremely cold and fierce.

The temperature all around dropped suddenly.

Let’s not talk about the previous mess, but when it comes to the matter of Uzumaki Menma, Tobirama really can’t stand how there can be such a stupid leader in the world.

The heirs you choose are really more stupid than the last one. Even if you take a step back and say that they really did something stupid, you should at least have the ability to control the situation and finish it off! ?

But it isn't.

I just sat there and watched the situation deteriorate further.

Tobirama was really unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

At this moment, even Hashirama put away the smile on his lips.

Hashirama is just a little carefree in character, but that doesn't mean he knows nothing.

The things Tsunade described, the crisis the village was facing, Hashirama found incredible. With such a good hand of cards, the worst that could happen was that they would win less, right? ?

How can he still fight so badly?!

Losing is bad enough, but losing to the point of bankruptcy means this has nothing to do with luck at gambling. It's simply that the card player has a huge flaw in his brain!

Including Hatake Sakumo on the side, everyone showed a very surprised expression. He originally thought that he was released by the Impure World Reincarnation, most likely because of the Ninja World War. The village was facing siege from several major ninja villages and lacked combat power, so they needed help.

Sakumo was also mentally prepared. After all, he was still a member of the Hidden Leaf Village. Sakumo was willing to fight for the village again.

But I really didn't expect that the situation would be like this?

Sakumo couldn't help but look a little longer at the Minato couple and Jiraiya, who had already hung his head dejectedly. Finally, his eyes involuntarily fixed on Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had the most shocked and unacceptable expression at the moment.

It should be said that among all the people present at this moment.

The one with the most expressive expression is the Third Hokage. It is as exciting as it can be. He looks so shocked that he is speechless.

He really didn't expect that the change of one thought back then, no, it should even be said that he had always believed that it was the correct and most appropriate approach.

It turned out to be a big mistake today.

It's a huge mistake that is totally irreparable.

Defeat the Five Great Ninja Villages! ?

They have gathered seven, no, now there are probably nine tailed beasts, and they are about to attack and destroy the Hidden Leaf Village! ?

This is a joke right!?

That's a big lie, right?

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't believe his ears no matter what.

Jiraiya, who was sitting next to him, had an even more bitter look on his face. He sighed softly and didn't dare to look at Minato and Kushina on the other side.

Because after all, it comes down to it.

All of this has led to the current situation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya are both the primary persons responsible.

The former is a Kage, and the latter is Minato’s mentor.

It was the decision made by these two people that forced Minato's other child to resolutely choose to defect from the village after suffering such a childhood experience, and now he is determined to destroy Konoha.

What is this! ?

Minato also looked helpless and embarrassed.

As early as that time when he met Menma, Minato was mentally prepared, but he really didn't expect that in just three years, Menma could become so strong. The most important thing is the problem between Konoha and Menma now.

Minato is not only the Hokage of Konoha, but also Menma's father.

He has already been unfaithful to his own child, does he have to continue to hurt his own child now?

Even though Minato loved the ninja village so much and died with the title of Kage, he could not do this.

Not to mention Kushina who was standing beside her.

It can be said that when Tsunade was narrating those things, Kushina had a cold expression throughout.

As a mother, it is undoubtedly heartbreaking to see her own children fighting each other, and all of this was caused by the Hidden Leaf Village, or people like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya. Kushina did not turn against them on the spot, which was already giving face to these so-called elders in the past, as well as to her husband who was the Hokage.

"Monkey, Yan, Xiaochun, you three really did a great job!!!"

Tobirama suppressed the rage in his heart and looked at the three people with an extremely cold expression. At this moment, the Second Hokage, who was praised by the insiders as the most cruel and dangerous, really wanted to skin all three of them, including the dead Danzo. Oh, Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead too?

That is still an unforgivable sin!

The village's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was actually treated this way!? And he was the son of the Hokage. His husband and wife had just sacrificed themselves for the village, and the village treated the son of a hero like this? The most ridiculous thing is that they treated him differently. How stupid and disgusting.

Just let stupid things happen one after another.

But it doesn’t even have the ability to provide a safety net.

If you really do something stupid and you can cover yourself and solve the problems that arise, then it's okay, at least it's not the worst situation.

But now! ?

It would be fine if he defected with the Nine-Tails, but only three years later, he could come with great force and destroy Konoha?

Tobirama really felt that he was blind to choose this bunch of idiots as his disciples and to inherit the responsibility of the village.

The anger in his voice was clearly audible.

"It is our uselessness and our stupidity. Please forgive me, Master Second Generation."

Both Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu were panicked and quickly knelt on one knee. They didn't even dare to call out the teacher, as it was obvious that their teacher was already furious.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a look of panic and guilt on his face, and he immediately knelt on one knee.

"Second-generation master, everything is my fault. It was my wrong decision that led to the current situation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and said with a bitter tone.

An unfolding that was far from expected.

Although he had some realization before his death when he saw Menma knowing his identity and resolutely defecting, he could never have imagined that in just three years, Menma would become so strong and kill Jiraiya, defeat Ōnoki, and many of the tailed beasts.

It has also integrated the power of Kusagakure Village and Takigakure Village, and is a main force that is capable of defeating the five major ninja villages.

If Konoha is really going to be destroyed by Menma next.

He was the culprit of everything. It was his different treatment of Menma and Naruto, and his series of actions that allowed rumors to hurt Menma that led to this result.

I am the biggest culprit for the destruction of the village.

"Minato, Kushina, I am sorry for you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also turned his head to look at Minato and Kushina on the other side, with a very sincere look of apology, he bowed his head and apologized.

We must look at it from a comprehensive and real perspective.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is really not a person with a 'dark nature'. If he was really the same type as Danzo, or a darker and dirtier politician, no matter how blind Tobirama was, he would never have chosen Hiruzen as the Third Hokage.

Moreover, the "original author who does not understand Naruto at all" designed Sarutobi Hiruzen to be a kind and amiable Hokage.

It's a 'good guy' setting.

Therefore, from a fundamental perspective, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a wise and decisive "ninja hero" in his early years, but when he entered middle age, he became dull, confused, and indecisive, an old man.

Being hesitant and confused, one will always avoid most of the correct choices in a series of events and choose the wrong choice.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not treat Uzumaki Menma like this occasionally, but since the earlier incident with Hatake Sakumo, the Third Hokage had already begun to enter this kind of "stupid" state.

After all, allowing a strong man who was considered a "nuclear deterrent" at that time to be hurt by rumors and eventually commit suicide is inexplicable no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, there is a sentence that is most appropriate to describe Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The Third Hokage - Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Either stupid or bad.

To fully comply with the setting.

The Third Hokage can only be stupid, and he has to be stupid to the extreme. This not only fits the character setting of the original work, but also fills in most of the holes in the original work, although it still seems a bit forced (after all, some things really can't be described as stupid).

At least it makes sense.

This is a shadow that becomes more stupid, foolish and useless as it gets older.

"Third generation, you..."

As Minato was helped to become the Fourth Hokage by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and was also Jiraiya's disciple, Minato naturally knew Sarutobi Hiruzen very well, and he also knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not really have any ill will towards his own children, but the facts were still there.

Even though Minato wouldn't really say anything cold and hostile to Sarutobi Hiruzen given his personality, it's impossible for him to say anything against his will.
