Hashirama Senju was already somewhat saddened when he learned that the Fourth Hokage had died so young.
Such a talented supporting actor... died so easily.
However, as the third generation of the Ye family, he set a good example but did not absorb it.
[The appearance of Kushina Uzumaki.]
[This was to allow Hashirama Senju to fill in some of the events that happened back then.]
After all, his own wife was a member of the Uzumaki clan.
[Still the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.]
[After hearing the curses from those Konoha villagers.]
[A lot of information has been captured.]
Even he could guess the general situation of the Fourth Hokage's family.
Kushina Uzumaki, a member of the Uzumaki clan, is highly likely to be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki after Mito.
The seal on the Nine-Tails has been broken, and the Nine-Tails is wreaking havoc.
The fourth generation couple both died in battle.
[When Kushina Uzumaki, as a Jinchūriki, breaks the seal, or when the seal weakens, the Nine-Tails breaks free.]
[This will inevitably lead to the death of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki; it's a foregone conclusion.]
The Fourth Hokage stepped forward.
Protecting Konoha, he single-handedly battled the Nine-Tails.
Judging from Kushina's current performance, she was probably still alive at the time and could still coordinate attacks.
[Finally, the Nine-Tails was sealed inside their child, who is now standing before us as Naruto Uzumaki.]
This family is truly heroes.
[But judging from the words just spoken by those Konoha villagers, it's not hard to imagine how this boy survived.]
Let's look at the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who succeeded him as the strongest Hokage and the God of Shinobi.
[Not only did they fail to set an example at the time.]
[The probability that they can't even take care of one child properly... or have other ideas, is not small.]
[Given the current state of the Fourth Generation couple, it's probably more than just a matter of them not being properly cared for.]
Hashirama Senju closed his eyes.
[He sighed inwardly.]
He knew it very well.
He could guess all of this.
His younger brother, Tobirama Senju, couldn't possibly have been unaware of this.
[It's very likely that he guessed it the moment those Konoha villagers in the audience opened their mouths.]
But still...
Uchiha Izuna: Yeah.
Uchiha Izuna: I chose it myself, so I have to swallow it no matter what.
Uchiha Izuna: Even at the last moment, we must consider the bigger picture.
Tobirama Senju: "..."
Forget it, I'd better not say anything.
[For Konoha, for the greater good?]
Hashirama Senju seemed to have realized something.
Open your eyes.
[He happened to be looking directly into the eyes of his granddaughter, Tsunade.]
[That one glance.]
Hashirama Senju froze completely.
The ominous premonition grew stronger.
The look in his granddaughter's eyes... broke his heart.
At this point, Ino could no longer tolerate it.
"Hey! I'm talking to you guys!"
"A fox demon?!"
"Do you even know who you're talking about?!"
"The son of the Fourth Hokage who died protecting Konoha and the former Great Fox Jinchuriki, who were still thinking of the village and you beasts even on their deathbeds!"
"If the Third Hokage you're talking about was so powerful, where was he back then?!"
"Why do you think Konoha remained unscathed after that great disaster, without being attacked by other ninja villages?!"
"Because the great fox jinchūriki is still alive!"
"The most suitable person to become a Jinchūriki is Naruto Uzumaki, the child of Uncle Minato and Aunt Kushina!"
"How old is he?!"
"What parent would want their child to become a Jinchūriki?!"
"Besides, Aunt Kushina was a Jinchūriki!"
Uchiha Izuna: Well said!
Uchiha Izuna: As expected of Ino~
Ino Yamanaka: "Thank you for the compliment, handsome godfather~"
Uchiha Izuna: Hahaha~
Uchiha Izuna: Big brother, why don't you say something too?
Uchiha Madara: ...
He sensed it.
The heaviness in the heart of my best friend, Hashi's hot mom.
The two have different ideologies.
They couldn't convince each other.
now.
This is equivalent to Hash Hot Mom voluntarily admitting defeat.
I thought I would be very happy.
But Madara Uchiha could only sigh silently at this moment.
...
Ino's voice was already cracking a bit.
However, the villagers below, who had been brainwashed by the Will of Fire, seemed to feel nothing at all.
She still looked at them with that same disgust.
"You didn't say a single word of apology or thank you!"
"Did we make them do this?!" a voice suddenly rang out.
The speaker was hiding in the crowd.
[Upon hearing this,]
The people from other villages who came to watch the game were stunned.
My brain went blank for a while.
[Have you heard what people are saying?]
Ino was exhausted.
Seeing this.
Many people can relate to this.
These guys have been brainwashed by the Will of Fire.
Truly hopeless!
I was initially somewhat reluctant to speculate about Nara Shikamaru.
He slapped himself hard.
These people don't deserve to have an easy life.
Pure Land World.
Tobirama Senju suddenly trembled.
broken.
A bad feeling is coming!
...
["monkey!"]
Tobirama Senju glared fiercely at the frail and elderly Hiruzen Sarutobi.
It felt like punching cotton.
Unexpected.
One day, he actually had to face such an opponent.
[There are so many excellent young leaves and buds.]
But this is how it turned out.
And he, too, must face all of this.
Did the Fourth Hokage's family do anything wrong?
[No! ]
They owe Konoha absolutely nothing!
[There's even Enmuye.]
But this is how it turned out...
[How could Tobirama Senju not know what method Hiruzen Sarutobi planned to use against Naruto Uzumaki?]
It's no wonder that the whole family is on the opposing side.
[But...]
Sometimes, we really do have no choice in what we do, like right now.
Tobirama Senju took a deep breath.
[Look away.]
[Looking towards Minato Namikaze.]
"This is shadow."
["so..."]
He hadn't finished speaking.
It seems that Hiruzen Sarutobi triggered some kind of underlying code.
"Where leaves dance in the air, fire burns eternally."
As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi's cloudy old eyes were fixed intently on Naruto.
It's quite obvious.
[What did Hiruzen Sarutobi remember?]
Let's call it the "White Moonlight" Project for now.
[In a life filled with great suffering and hardship.]
[Naruto Uzumaki is at the center of a dark vortex.]
[I saw a ray of light called hope.]
[And that beam of light belonged to Hiruzen Sarutobi.]
[...]
Tobirama Senju's pupils suddenly contracted.
[He opened his mouth as if to speak.]
[The next second.]
[Buzz—! ...
The whole world fell silent.
Hashirama Senju raised his hand, trying to stop Tobirama Senju from speaking, but it was too late.
[Just a fleeting moment.]
The two brothers were then engulfed by lightning.
[And from the perspective of the audience in the stands.]
It was as if time had stood still.
[The Lightning Release: Kirin technique was clearly incredibly fast.]
But in their eyes, it seemed like slow motion.
[BOOM—!!!]
A blinding flash of lightning erupted.
The entire Leaf Village was engulfed in lightning.
