Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

It also made Kushina's heart soften.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 503 Forked Road

After all, it's all a thing of the past.

Not to mention that her husband is actually in a bit of a difficult situation. Anyway, she has already said that she will no longer interfere in this matter, so she should give her husband more face.

Of course, an equally important point is that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya are both dead, so there is nothing to be obsessed with.

"Hey, get up, Sandaime-sama, Jiraiya-sensei, it's just like what Minato said, everything is over anyway, so let's just leave it at that."

Kushina sighed softly inwardly, and although her expression did not change, her tone did soften a little.

"Kushina..."

Jiraiya, who was helped up by Minato, wanted to say something.

"Well, since all the seniors have agreed to this, there is no need to say anything. What you decide to do next is your own business. My husband and I will not get involved. Lady Tsunade, please tell us where Naruto is now? We need to take Naruto away first."

Kushina waved her hand, interrupting Jiraiya's words.

Being unwilling to hold on to it doesn't mean that Kushina will forgive Jiraiya and the others, she just feels that it is meaningless.

She didn't want to waste time here anymore.

The most valuable thing is to leave here as soon as possible, find Naruto and Menma, and spend more time with their family.

"Ah? Naruto is going to Myoboku Mountain now and hasn't come back yet."

Tsunade was stunned at first, then immediately responded.

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama."

For Tsunade who also has no responsibilities or obligations.

Kushina still maintained basic respect. After bowing slightly, she turned her head and glanced at Minato.

"Well, my Lords, Kushina and I will excuse ourselves first."

Minato still had a gentle look on his face. After bowing to Hashirama, Tobirama and others, he held his wife's right hand.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of golden light.

The two of them disappeared.

Watching the Minato couple leaving.

Hashirama, who was standing still, also sighed deeply and glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him, his eyes full of disappointment.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is Tobirama's disciple, he is different from Danzo and others.

Hashirama once taught Sarutobi Hiruzen personally, so he could be considered half his disciple. At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was full of vigor, courage and bravery, and had a heart that was enough to warm the hearts of all his companions in the village.

In Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hashirama saw a descendant who perfectly inherited the will of fire, and saw the future of their Konohagakure Village.

In fact, Hashirama was not wrong at that time.

Tobirama chose Sarutobi Hiruzen as his successor and personally covered the rear. He also designated Sarutobi Hiruzen as the third generation. At least at that time, it was a correct decision.

Don't forget that the First Ninja World War was caused by the death of Hashirama, which released the ambitions of other ninja villages that had been suppressed for so many years.

Then, Tobirama, the second-generation Hokage, died at the end of the First Ninja World War.

Konoha at that time was in a difficult situation. There were rebellious people inside and many threats outside. The pressure was enormous.

Sarutobi Hiruzen managed to stabilize the ninja village bit by bit under such pressure, and not only won the Second Ninja World War,

It also cultivated countless outstanding ninjas.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade are representatives.

If we don’t count this extraordinary guy, Hashirama.

In fact, the peak period of Konohagakure Village was reached during the reign of Sarutobi Hiruzen. At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also hailed as the Ninja Hero by the entire ninja world. This was a title he earned through his own strength and ability.

It’s a pity that this peak period was too short.

It seemed that with the end of the Second Ninja World War, Sarutobi Hiruzen entered a stupid era of one stupid move after another.

Although there is no comparison between them.

But just looking at the changes before and after.

To use Menma's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen is really a guy like Emperor Minghuang of Tang and Emperor Wu of Han.

Wise and decisive in the early stage.

Various illnesses occurred in the later stages.

This time dividing line is the death of Hatake Sakumo.

It was as if from that moment on, Sarutobi Hiruzen was possessed by someone else and became even more stupid.

Hashirama didn't say much, just gave him a look.

It was enough to make Sarutobi Hiruzen feel ashamed.

In fact, during the Chunin Exam three years ago, when he was facing Orochimaru and was dying, with many scenes flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern, Sarutobi Hiruzen already regretted many of the things he had done.

He always felt that if Sakumo had not died, if Minato had not died, if Tsunade and Jiraiya had not left the village, if he could have faced Orochimaru's development squarely, would Konoha have been on the road to a brighter future?

Instead, I have become the sinner of the village now.

"Come on, Monkey, and the two of you, come with me and tell me everything!"

Tobirama snorted coldly and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu.

If you are the one who taught the rebellious disciple, then you should teach him a lesson yourself.

Of course, everything still has to wait until the threat of Menma is resolved.

"Yes, second generation sir."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu all responded immediately. The latter two had long lost the calm demeanor of the so-called village Hokage advisors, and were only filled with infinite panic.

This is their Hokage mentor.

"Tobirama, please send an invitation letter to that kid named Menma in my name. If possible, try to sit down and have a good talk. Although the road to peace is very difficult, we still have to fight for it."

Hashirama said while looking at Tobirama.

"Yes, Aniga, I understand. Don't worry. The three of you, follow me!"

Tobirama nodded slightly, then glanced at his three traitors with a stern look and led the way out of the secret room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two immediately followed.

Wait until the four people leave one after another.

"Tsunayoshi, and this one is called Sakumo, right? The two of you will accompany me for a walk around the village. The last time I was summoned back, it wasn't long before my consciousness was wiped out. Now let me see what Konoha will look like in a few decades."

Hashirama said with a gentle look, looking at Tsunade and Sakumo, who hadn't said a word the whole time, and smiled.

The affairs of the village were left to Tobirama to handle.

In this regard, Hashirama has always trusted Tobirama, and he believed that Tobirama could handle everything in an orderly and reasonable manner. Even before the establishment of the Hidden Leaf Village, even though Hashirama was the patriarch of the Senju clan, the actual clan affairs were handled by Tobirama.

At this point.

The same is true for the Uchiha clan. Madara is just a nominal clan leader who rose to power through strength. In fact, aren't all the clan's internal affairs still handled by Izuna! ?

This is also the reason why when Uchiha Madara wanted to leave Konoha, he couldn't take his clan members with him.

Interests are naturally the most important aspect, but it is also closely related to Madara’s low prestige within the clan. If you were Izuna and she were still alive, would you try it?

When Quannai says east, no one in the tribe dares to say west.

Including Madara, they all obey their younger brother's orders.

Izuna and Tobirama are the true 'alternative selves in this world'!

"Yes, Grandpa."

"I will obey your orders, Master Shodai."

Sakumo also bowed to the first Hokage of the village and replied softly with the highest respect.

"Well, let's go. Accompany an old man like me to take a good tour of the village! Hahaha!"

Hashirama laughed heartily and immediately returned to his usual cheerful expression. For this God of Ninja, there was no hurdle in the world that was insurmountable.

It is like this when you are young, it is like this when you are young, it is like this when you are middle-aged, and it is still like this when you are old.

This is the first Hokage of Konohagakure - Hashirama Senju.

In different forms.

Talk about the different choices you made.

Three separate groups of people.

At this moment, no one has yet learned about the huge changes that have taken place within the Hidden Leaf Village.

The same is true for Uchiha Madara, who is Black Zetsu's 'temporary master'. This is not only because Uchiha Madara's mind is too simple, but more importantly, Black Zetsu's actions never reveal any obvious traces.

Those 100,000 White Zetsu completely obeyed the orders of Black Zetsu.

Uchiha Madara?

Uchiha Obito?

They were just the number one and number two spokespeople chosen by Black Zetsu.

The moment Black Zetsu saw the Impure World Reincarnation technique being successfully completed, he left first.

At the scene, there is Ashura, the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Although Black Zetsu is very confident in his means of hiding and concealing, the possibility of being discovered still exists.

Before a few people woke up.

Black Zetsu sneaked away and left the range of Konohagakure Village in an instant.

"Hehe, with a few people like these, there will be no problem in at least testing out all of Uzumaki Menma's cards. At worst, we can consume most of Uzumaki Menma's physical strength and chakra."

Black Zetsu said coldly with a sinister smile as he looked at the brightly lit Konohagakure Village in the distance.

The Indras of all generations were troublesome guys.

Although this generation of Uchiha Madara is the most talented among Indra's reincarnations, he obviously has no brains, as if the reincarnation of Indra has to rely on his brain to gain strength (Ashura seems to be similar).

The more brainless the person is.

The more powerful it will be.

This also led to.

The so-called Moon Eye Project.

In fact, it seems that it was formulated by Uchiha Madara, but at least most of the arrangements in the plan were led and promoted by Black Zetsu.

If Black Zetsu wasn't here.

What can Uchiha Madara achieve?!

But people are chosen by themselves, and the road is created by themselves, so Black Zetsu has nothing to complain about. If they were replaced by people with brains like Tobirama and Izuna, Black Zetsu would fool them! ?

Hei Zetsu has brains as he didn't get fooled by others.

This is the two sides of the coin. Where there are advantages, there are naturally disadvantages.

Anyway, from the positive perspective of the plan, Uchiha Madara is really the best choice for Black Zetsu, and paying for Uchiha Madara's personality is also a price that Black Zetsu himself must bear.

Fortunately, Black Zetsu had already realized this a thousand years ago.

Now it is finally time to harvest.

Black Zetsu took one last deep look at the Hidden Leaf Village and then left at an extremely fast speed. He had to return to Uchiha Madara as soon as possible.

Next comes the most crucial final battle.

He has to keep an eye on it all the time.

At the same time.
