I, The New Hokage of Konoha - Chapter 292
As Konoha’s cards were in motion, on the other side, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju broke through obstacles, heading straight for Konoha’s train station.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Dozens of shurikens shot from all directions were deflected one by one by the speeding Tobirama Senju, without slowing his pace.
“Da** it! Don’t underestimate us!”
Ignoring the two and focusing on advancing, a Konoha ninja ahead swiftly formed hand seals.
“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”
Instantly, a huge fireball hurtled towards Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
Seemingly fierce, yet with a simple speed alteration, they easily dodged.
As the Konoha ninja, with a changed expression, was about to act, a shuriken with a yellow tag swiftly approached him.
“This is…” The Konoha ninja’s eyes widened in realization, but before he could speak, a figure flashed by, silencing his words with a chilling blade.
“Flying Raijin Jutsu!”
At this moment, not just one Konoha ninja was attacking the duo Senju.
While the previous Konoha ninja couldn’t speak, others witnessing this scene were shockingly voicing the truth.
However, despite this, they still couldn’t believe their eyes.
Over the years, the Flying Raijin Jutsu has gained immense fame in the ninja world.
Aside from the renowned golden flashes during the Third Great Ninja War, even the current Hokage mastered this technique.
As Konoha members, the Konoha ninjas were well aware of the Flying Raijin Jutsu.
They knew well that it was one of the challenging forbidden techniques in Konoha.
For decades, aside from the mentioned two, only the Second Hokage had mastered it.
The Second Hokage…
“They are the First and Second Hokage!”
Soon! The first to arrive, not yet informed of the latest information, the Konoha ninjas were utterly shocked again.
This was much more shocking than the earlier “Flying Raijin Jutsu.”
The Konoha ninjas never imagined that the two deceased Hokage would suddenly appear here, attacking Konoha.
Regardless of their identity, since the newcomers were hostile, for the village’s sake, everyone continued to block them with all their might.
Under the Reanimation Jutsu, even if Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju didn’t possess half of their original strength, these Konoha ninjas were no match for them.
Even as more Konoha ninjas arrived to support, they couldn’t touch Tobirama Senju due to the incredibly agile Flying Raijin Jutsu.
Continuously, Tobirama Senju threw Flying Raijin shurikens, paying no attention to others, just teleporting alongside Hashirama Senju.
Thus, no matter how many Konoha ninjas came, they could only watch helplessly as the two swiftly infiltrated Konoha’s village.
In no time, the Konoha train station was in sight.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Reaching their destination, Tobirama Senju, with Hashirama Senju, formed hand seals. Instantly, numerous tags peeled off from their Reanimated bodies, continuously turning into exploding tags, adhering to the nearest tracks and trains.
Collaborative Exploding Tags Technique.
Developed by Tobirama Senju, this infinite exploding technique was designed to complement the Reanimation Jutsu and undoubtedly proved effective at this moment.
Boom!
The surrounding Konoha ninjas couldn’t block it in time, witnessing a tremendous explosion.
Soon after, a series of explosions followed.
Not far away, Team Asuma and Naruto, Hinata, and Kakashi, who were about to separate, heard the commotion.
Inside the train station, seeing the devastation around, the enraged Konoha ninjas were ready to attack Tobirama Senju.
Among them were elite Konoha Jonin clad in chakra armor.
Seeing this, Hashirama Senju, who had been relatively inactive, swiftly clapped his hands together:
“Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A massive number of trees sprouted from the center where the Hashirama Senju stood. Though not as grand as the Forest of Death or even the Uchiha Clan grounds, these trees still dominated against the Konoha ninjas.
Instantly, numerous Konoha ninjas caught within the forest were entangled by trees from all directions, unable to attend to anything else.
Seizing this opportunity, although Tobirama Senju had made some progress, compared to the colossal railway headquarters and Konoha’s ability to recover, the destruction was still insufficient. He began extracting more exploding tags from his Reanimated body.
However, at that moment, a blur, undetectable to the naked eye, an unbelievably fast blue figure streaked through the sky.
As the blue figure appeared beside Tobirama Senju before the latter could react, an incredibly forceful kick landed on him.
In an instant!
As if flattened by a heavy truck, with a thunderous “boom,” Tobirama Senju was sent flying at an incredible speed, trailing a thick cloud of dust on the ground.
Under this cloud, as the dust settled, just as he had arrived, clad in a green jumpsuit, enveloped in blue steam, Might Guy raised his right hand, thumb extended, striking a familiar pose, exclaiming passionately, “The proud Azure Beast of the Konoha makes its entrance!”
Croak! Croak! Croak!
The next moment, apart from the shrill cries of the crows startled by the earlier commotion, there was no other response.
Fortunately, Might Guy wasn’t embarrassed.
He prepared to move again, to rescue his Konoha colleagues trapped in the World of Trees technique.
A colossal staff descended from above.
With a sweep, numerous trees were snapped in half.
Slightly slower than Might Guy, but eventually catching up, Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the Third Hokage, wielding the Adamantine Staff of Heaven, also stepped onto the scene.
“The Third!”
“Third Hokage!”
“…”
With Hiruzen Sarutobi’s assistance, the numerous Konoha ninjas trapped in the World of Trees technique quickly freed themselves and paid their respects to the long-unseen Third Hokage.
Unaware of the conflicts between the former Third and Fourth Hokage, those not in leadership positions were excited to see the retired Third Hokage back in action.
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, swiftly instructing, “Jonin, stay. Other Konoha ninjas, evacuate the perimeter, relocate logistical supplies.”
Aware of the enemy’s formidable strength, Hiruzen Sarutobi, unable to allow ordinary ninjas to risk their lives, issued these orders.
“Yes, sir!”
At his command, the gathered Konoha ninjas acted swiftly.
Eventually, only five high-ranking Konoha ninjas remained beside Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Among them was Might Guy.
Once everything was arranged, Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed at the opposing duo with a complex expression.
“Long time no see! First Hokage, Second Hokage.”
No response.
Hashirama Senju, now devoid of will, was reactivating the destroyed World of Trees.
On the other side, Tobirama Senju, whose body had been largely pulverized by Guy’s kick, was rapidly recovering due to the Reanimation Jutsu’s effects, soon regaining his original form.
Watching this scene, despite his earlier expectations, Hiruzen Sarutobi tightly gripped the Adamantine Staff of Heaven with his aged hands, uttering each word:
“Orochimaru!”
