After Bai left, on a small hill several kilometers away, a White Zetsu was reporting everything he saw to Pain.
"Orochimaru's subordinate just activated the sealing barrier and has now left. Should we continue monitoring?"
Deva Path, in Yahiko's appearance, looked at the conspicuous ice dome in the distance and shook his head, saying,
"No need, those things are not important."
Then Pain walked towards the Battlefield, and White Zetsu silently followed behind him.
Let's return to when Kakuzu escaped.
Besides Kakuzu, who was terrified and fled upon seeing Hashirama's face, the other few people also recognized the identities of the three Impure World Ninja.
Hidan didn't recognize anyone and was completely unconcerned.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew of the Edo Tensei's existence, and his face was so gloomy it looked like it would drip water after seeing the three, but he looked at Tobirama's figure with a strange sense of anticipation.
Only Itachi was truly shocked. Being a man of few words, he naturally didn't speak, but he exclaimed in his heart,
This... this is First Hokage-sama!
And Second Hokage-sama!
And the Fourth Raikage of Hidden Cloud Village!
As Itachi was in shock, with the last piece of earth flying in, the three simultaneously opened their eyes.
"Hahaha, is this the Pure Land? It looks pretty similar to the Ninja World. I wonder if Madara is here?"
The first to speak, as expected, was Senju Hashirama.
Unlike the carefree Hashirama, Senju Tobirama and Raikage A first carefully confirmed their surroundings.
However, Raikage A also exclaimed when he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi,
"Hiruzen Sarutobi!"
He tried to immediately activate his Lightning Release Chakra Mode but realized something was wrong with himself.
"If I remember correctly, I should be dead, so, is this another one of your Konoha's conspiracies?"
He tried to move and found that only his neck could turn. He looked left and right, finding himself standing in a row with two guys whose conditions were clearly problematic.
From their attire, it resembled the style of Sengoku period samurai. Besides Hiruzen Sarutobi and a young man, there was also a man with slicked-back hair and a long rod stuck in his heart, and Orochimaru standing behind him to his right.
Raikage A, who appeared rough but was actually meticulous, clearly discerned three factions. If his deduction was correct, he seemed to be controlled by Orochimaru.
Raikage A decided to remain silent for now and observe the situation.
However, Raikage A's previous call of "Hiruzen Sarutobi," combined with his current predicament, made Senju Tobirama instantly understand many things.
Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who, despite being covered in wrinkles and age spots, still vaguely resembled his younger self, Senju Tobirama did not ask foolish questions like whether the war had ended.
Nor did he inquire why Edo Tensei was classified as a forbidden jutsu, yet he himself had been summoned.
Senju Tobirama also observed the surroundings, especially the conspicuous sealing barrier, and then asked,
"Hiruzen, this doesn't seem to be Konoha, has a new war broken out?"
Tobirama's voice made Hashirama, who was still thinking about finding his good friend Madara, immediately snap back to reality. He turned to look at Tobirama, then at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Tobirama, are you dead too? And Monkey, why are you so old?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who understood Hashirama's original personality, did not answer Hashirama's questions but pondered Senju Tobirama's query.
After only a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke.
"First Hokage-sama, and Teacher, I apologize for disturbing your peaceful rest. It was my oversight that led to the abuse of this forbidden jutsu. The one who used the forbidden jutsu is my disciple, now Konoha's S-rank rogue Ninja, Orochimaru. As for the war, it has already ended."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's words caused slight changes in the expressions of those present.
Itachi's initially somewhat shocked eyes became calm again.
Raikage A's heart sank. It really was Konoha's doing. To think there was such a blasphemous jutsu. Konoha truly is evil!
Raikage A was currently plotting how to gather more intelligence and how to transmit it back to Hidden Cloud Village.
Tobirama became even more puzzled. This was clearly not Konoha, and possibly not even the Land of Fire. What exactly happened that caused Hiruzen Sarutobi to appear here?
Hashirama's focus was somewhat unusual. He immediately spoke,
"Oh, so he's your disciple. A very excellent young man. I couldn't even understand such a complex jutsu back then."
After speaking, he looked at Itachi, who was next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, with an appreciative expression, completely ignoring the other content and mistaking Itachi for Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple.
Senju Hashirama's mysterious actions made everyone present feel incredulous.
Having obtained a lot of information from their conversation, Raikage A suddenly felt that Senju Hashirama, the legendary God of Ninja, might have been overhyped!
Senju Tobirama, feeling deeply embarrassed, his face darkened, and he directly yelled at his older brother beside him,
"Shut up!"
