Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

It was used to warn major countries in the world. It must be said that, at least during that period, its significance and effect were very obvious.

Before the news of Hashirama Senju's actual death spread.

The Hidden Leaf Village has always been able to look down on its peers, and the Fire Nation has been able to look down on other countries. While the surrounding countries are eyeing them, it still holds the position of the most powerful country and firmly occupies the most abundant and prosperous land in the world.

And today.

it's here.

This will also be a battle that will determine the fate of ninja villages in countries around the world.

It is extremely ironic that all the national ninja villages have to pin their hopes on the first Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village.

The person involved is Hashirama Senju.

The second time I came here, I was filled with emotion.

"I didn't expect there really is such a statue. Tsk tsk, Tobirama, the quality of this statue is really high. It even engraved Madara's proud posture vividly. By the way, this must have cost a lot of money and time, right?"

Hashirama stood on the top of his own stone statue, looked at the stone statue of Uchiha Madara on the opposite side, and said with a very surprised and happy expression.

To be honest, it is an amazing thing to be able to remain the same for decades and maintain your previous state of mind and personality no matter what happens.

Not much to say.

Just the betrayal by a close friend would cause a huge emotional upheaval for any normal person.

But only Senju Hashirama remains the same as before.

He didn't feel that Uchiha Madara had betrayed him, he just felt regretful that the two brothers had not been able to sit down and have a good talk.

You know, after the battle in the Valley of the End.

Even Hashirama didn't allow Tobirama to declare Madara a traitor.

The treatment of the Uchiha clan, at least before Hashirama's death, remained exactly the same as when he first joined.

This is the magnanimity of Hashirama Senju.

"Well, the statue was personally proposed by the daimyo at the time, and the best stone carving masters in the Land of Fire were recruited. The government covered all the expenses, and we in Konoha only sent some relevant personnel to assist. Since we had enough personnel, it only took three or four months to complete."

Tobirama on the right responded softly.

The terrain of the Valley of the End was not like this before. It was just a large basin. After that, it experienced the earth-shaking battle between Hashirama and Madara, and was forcibly changed by the continuous bombardment of various terrifying techniques such as Susanoo and Shin's Thousand Hands.

During that battle, Tobirama and his sister-in-law were watching from the closest position.

It must be said.

That battle brought a great shock to Tobirama.

Whether it is Madara's powerful Susanoo or his elder brother's True Thousand Hands, they are not at all a level that ordinary ninjas can reach.

Even Tobirama himself felt that he had no ability to resist.

This truly illustrates the saying that the tailed beasts are just toys in front of these two people.

For two people with such great power, changing the terrain is really a piece of cake. Originally, both Tobirama and the daimyo were only planning to carve a stone statue of Hashirama as a declaration of the winner. Later, Tobirama suddenly thought of some obsessions in his elder brother's heart, and that Uchiha Madara had indeed made considerable contributions to Konohagakure at least when Konohagakure was just established. And most importantly, Uchiha Madara had a strength that only his elder brother could match. So Tobirama proposed to carve the stone statue of Uchiha Madara together.

This is the end.

This place is called the Valley of the End.

A place that holds special significance for the Hidden Leaf Village.

Because Konoha's history here came to an end and a new life began.

Whether the battle of sixty years ago can be repeated today, only God knows.

"Eh? Was it all paid for by the daimyo? Haha, thank you so much."

Hashirama's eyes lit up and he laughed.

"If I may..."

Then I wanted to continue talking about when.

Suddenly.

Hashirama sensed that in the distance there was an extremely hot chakra aura approaching rapidly.

A subconscious pause.

The moment Tobirama saw his elder brother's face change, he realized something.

"Anika, is Uzumaki Menma here?"

Although not as perverted as Menma's.

But Hashirama's perception is also far beyond that of ordinary ninjas.

He nodded emphatically and said solemnly, "Ah, it shouldn't be surprising. It's that Menma boy. There's another chakra fluctuation next to him that's slightly weaker but equally terrifying. It should be the special Hyuga boy named Toneri who can suppress the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki alone."

"Only two of you are here? Is this sincerity? Or confidence?"

Tobirama frowned and began to think secretly in his heart.

Single-handedly suppress the Eight-Tails.

Tobirama himself can do it.

Hoshigaki Kisame's water escape technique is very strong, right? He is considered the top water escape technique expert in the ninja world today, but compared to Tobirama, he is still a small witch compared to a big witch. Tobirama is known as the God of Water.

His ordinary water-style techniques have a power comparable to that of an S-class forbidden technique.

It might be a little difficult to deal with the complete Nine-Tails, but there would be absolutely no problem in suppressing the Eight-Tails.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 534: Sneer

So, if we only look at the record of defeating the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki alone.

Tobirama was confident that he could intercept this boy with the white eyes, but he was a little confused about Uzumaki Menma. He was very clear about how powerful the Eight Gates Ninjutsu was. He had studied this technique himself in the past, but it was a pity that this technique had very high physical requirements for the learner (if there were really no requirements at all, let alone Danzo's character, at least some people in the Root would definitely be forced to learn the Eight Gates Ninjutsu, so that they could launch a suicidal attack for Danzo at the critical moment.)

Even with the level of an expert in forbidden techniques research like Tobirama.

He could only master six of the Eight Gates Formation.

He couldn't open the seventh door by himself no matter what.

Not to mention the Eight Gates Ninjutsu in extreme situations. Without practical experience, it would be difficult for Tobirama to judge what level of power this technique would unleash when one's life was exhausted.

Moreover, the same technique will have different power when performed by different people.

Kai and Xiao Li are a good example of contrast.

Tobirama did not witness the final battle between Menma and Gai with his own eyes, and could only judge it through indirect information. Tobirama could only speculate that Menma's strength might be comparable to that of his older brother, or slightly stronger.

Therefore, the moment he learned that Menma had only brought Toneri with him.

Tobirama's heartstrings suddenly tensed up.

Because different meanings represent completely different developments.

What is the basis for Menma Uzumaki to do this?

It is very important to Tobirama.

"Isn't it true that he is much stronger than Anika?"

Tobirama looked deeply towards the west. The two chakra auras had already entered his perception range. His whole body tensed up subconsciously at that moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was standing behind Hashirama and Tobirama, also looked solemn.

Uzumaki Menma.

Like Naruto, he is Minato's biological child.

Just because of his red hair, he inherited the perfect bloodline of the Uzumaki clan and became the third generation Jinchūriki of the Hidden Leaf Village who sealed the Nine-Tails.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen really thought that Menma's identity as a Jinchuriki was too special and required special care.

That's what separated the two brothers.

Hiding Menma's identity as the son of the Hokage is also because it is believed that doing so will be more suitable for Menma's growth.

Does Sarutobi Hiruzen have any selfish motives?

That’s not true.

Because if Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he really needed to have 100% control over Menma, he might as well take Menma back to his home and raise him personally. In that case, according to common sense, wouldn't Menma be even more grateful to Sarutobi Hiruzen when he grows up?

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen did that was really because the Third Hokage thought that was the most correct thing to do.

But the facts gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a slap in the face.

A series of events that happened later proved that he was wrong.

The Third Hokage was not a bad guy.

It's really just pure stupidity and cowardice.

After a while.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

In the dense forest opposite.

Under the watchful eyes of Hashirama, Tobirama, and Hiruzen.

The two straight figures of Menma and Sheren flew out together.

The line of sight of intersection.

The figures that they saw each other.

Looking at the 'familiar' faces of Hashirama and the other two, Menma's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

Just a light tap of one foot.

Menma leaped up and landed directly on the head of the stone statue of Uchiha Madara.

"Haha, I didn't expect that you would be the first one to arrive and wait. This is really rude of me as a junior."

Menma said leisurely.

"Haha, we just arrived a little while ago, there's no need to be so polite, Menma boy."

Seeing Menma's red hair and the feeling of the traditional Uzumaki clan's bloodline, Hashirama's face revealed a very gentle look.

His wife is from the Uzumaki clan.

At the beginning, she was like a little princess of the Uzumaki clan.

The Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan became more steadfast allies because of the union of Hashirama and Mito.

The alliance between Konohagakure Village and Uzushio Village also came from this.

"No, Mr. Shodai is my elder after all. My mother once regarded Mito-senpai as a grandmother. From this point of view, Mr. Shodai is also my elder, and the necessary etiquette cannot be missed."

Menma still had that faint smile on his face as he spoke softly.

From the bottom of his heart, Menma actually has some respect for people like Senju Hashirama, because he is truly consistent and not the kind of person who says one thing and does another. More importantly, he is always honest to anyone, even his enemies. This is why the enemies of the ninja villages in various countries in the ninja world at that time all had a very high opinion of Hashirama.

This is an existence worthy of respect.

He has the pride of a strong man, but not the arrogance of a strong man.

In the true sense of doing what he said, regardless of whether the path he chose was correct, at least Hashirama Senju really did what he promised. In contrast, Naruto is actually far behind the first Hokage.

To give a most direct example, Naruto himself once made a solemn declaration to Neji during the Chunin Exam that he would change the Hyuga clan after he became Hokage, but what happened in the end?

Anyone who understands understands.

Perhaps there are indeed hidden stories and difficulties that cannot be explained, but the fact is that Naruto broke his promise.

He didn't do what he promised.

And listening to Menma's words.

The smile on Hashirama's eyes became more and more intense. In Hashirama's simple mind, he thought that this was a good child with such a gentle and polite attitude.

Hashirama suddenly felt that everything could be discussed.
