Chapter 791: Imposter Hokage? Let's Go!
Chapter 791: Imposter Hokage? Let's Go!
"This doesn't seem right. I remember Konoha was built on flat land. Did my memory fail me?"
As he entered the gates of Konoha, Senju Hashirama surveyed the village with a quick glance, immediately noticing something amiss.
"It's not that your memory is faulty, brother. It's that the height has changed."
Senju Tobirama's smile faded as he glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"When I passed away, Konoha wasn't like this."
Hiruzen quickly explained, knowing this wasn't his fault.
Konoha was still intact when he used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
"Well, there was an accident some time ago, and this is how it ended up."
Tsunade sheepishly explained.
"Are the villagers okay?"
Hashirama asked with concern.
"There were no casualties, but we did suffer some economic losses."
Tsunade replied honestly.
Many had died, but Nagato's use of the Reincarnation Jutsu brought them back, leaving only economic damage.
"It's good that no one died."
Hashirama nodded, deciding that a little financial loss was acceptable as long as lives were spared.
Hearing that the damage wasn't severe, Tobirama's expression eased.
"Everyone, go back and rest."
Tsunade addressed the large group of Konoha ninja behind her.
She believed that the ninja's most pressing desire at the moment was a good night's sleep rather than a celebratory meeting.
The ninja cheered and headed toward their homes.
"This Konoha must be a new and unfamiliar sight for you too, Mumu. Would you like to take a look around with me?"
Tobirama turned to Mumu with an invitation.
He had many questions about parallel worlds and wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about Mumu and his world.
"I was just thinking the same."
Mumu smiled and accepted.
For him, experiencing the original world's authenticity would be a refreshing change.
Hashirama laughed heartily, indicating his desire to join them.
Hiruzen, seeing that both Hashirama and Tobirama were going to tour Konoha, felt obliged as their disciple to accompany them instead of returning home first.
"Dad, why don't you and Brother Mumu take a walk around the village?"
Naruto scratched his head, suggesting.
Living alone, Naruto wasn't the tidiest, and his home was in a bit of a mess.
This was the first time Minato had returned home since his resurrection, and Naruto wanted to clean up and give his father the best homecoming experience.
"Okay."
Minato nodded with a smile.
Naruto hurried home, determined to tidy up as quickly as possible.
"Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Obito performed the hand seals, creating numerous Shadow Clones to search for those in need within Konoha.
The clones dispersed in all directions, with one following Naruto.
After completing this task, Obito trailed behind Mumu.
Among Mumu's disciples, only Might Guy had left with his older self for a sparring match; the rest chose to stay together.
With four days to spare, they could visit other places later, but this might be their only chance to tour Konoha with so many Hokages.
"It reminds me of when we first established the village."
Hashirama gazed at the vast expanse of simple wooden structures, his expression filled with nostalgia.
"That's like taking a step backward," Obito couldn't help but quip.
It wasn't just him; even in Naruto's world, which was over a decade more advanced, Konoha couldn't compare to the Six Paths City, which had been built in less than ten years.
And compared to Mumu's reformed Konoha, it fell even shorter.
Tobirama's smile faded again.
When he went to negotiate with the Cloud Village, Konoha hadn't been in such a state.
Tobirama glanced at Hiruzen.
Hiruzen immediately felt embarrassed and explained, "It must have been the accident that Tsunade mentioned. It wasn't like this before I passed away."
He wasn't going to take the blame; during his reign, Konoha's economy had been thriving.
Tobirama's face darkened. Was rebuilding the entire Konoha considered a minor accident?
"Tobirama, don't be too hard on Tsunade. At least Konoha is still here; that's a good outcome."
Hashirama offered consolation.
Upon learning that Tsunade was the current Hokage, Hashirama felt like the sky was about to fall.
Could his spoiled little princess shoulder the heavy responsibility of being a Hokage?
After witnessing Tsunade's performance on the battlefield, Hashirama felt relieved; his little princess had grown into a capable ninja whom others could rely on.
"Hmm?"
Mito Uzumaki and Koharu Utatane, observing the commotion caused by the arrival of the ninja forces from the Fire Shadow Building, led a group of ninja to the Konoha gates to investigate. They happened to run into Tobirama and his companions.
Konoha Elder, Tsunade, furrowed her brows at the peculiar group before her. She recognized her former student, Senju Tobirama, and scrutinized the two with her sharp gaze.
"How audacious to impersonate the Hokages," she scolded sternly.
As a high-ranking Konoha official, Tsunade wouldn't usually bother with such trivial matters, but the imposter dared to show disdain with his eyes, which she found offensive.
She was a senior advisor, someone even the current Hokage respected, yet this imposter looked at her as if she were a mere junior. Did he think he was the Second Hokage?
There was no doubt in Tsunade's mind that they were fakes.
The Second Hokage had been dead for many years, and even if he were to appear, it wouldn't be as a living person, at most, a Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation.
And even if the Hokages had been resurrected, who were these Fourth Hokages? They had to be imposters.
Senju Tobirama frowned slightly.
Moonbath Leader, Mumu, smiled faintly.
Uchiha Dai Tu struggled to keep a straight face.
Wave Water Gate, Sarutobi, sighed helplessly.
"Take them down!" Tsunade ordered the surrounding ninjas, seeing the imposters' stubbornness.
Boom!
The expressionless Senju Tobirama unleashed his chakra, creating a powerful gust that shook the nearby houses.
The sheer force of his presence left the Konoha ninjas frozen, and Tsunade and Sarutobi's eyes widened in shock.
Tsunade and Sarutobi exchanged glances, both wearing expressions of disbelief.
"Hahaha!"
The comical scene made Senju Hashirama burst into laughter.
Uchiha Dai Tu had been holding back, but Senju Hashirama's laughter set him off as well.
"It's a long story, but in short, we've been resurrected," Sarutobi explained with a bitter smile.
He had intended to provide some context, but Tsunade spoke too quickly. Before he could explain, she had already given the order to attack.
"Tsunade, Sarutobi, it's been a while. You both seem different from before," Senju Tobirama said, withdrawing his aura and greeting them calmly.
Tsunade instantly broke into a cold sweat.
The formidable power and identical demeanor made her believe it might indeed be her deceased teacher.
"For such a significant event, why wasn't I informed?" Tsunade muttered to herself, her mind filled with curses for Tsunade. She forced herself to face Senju Tobirama and said, "I'm sorry, teacher. Given the war, the village is short-staffed, and I feared it might be a ruse. Please forgive my disrespect."
"Let's put that aside for now. Why aren't you and Sarutobi on the battlefield?" Senju Tobirama asked, waving his hand.
In truth, he didn't mind Tsunade's earlier disrespect. After all, in the public eye, they were both deceased, so it was understandable that Tsunade initially thought they were imposters.
Haru Matsuri let out a sigh of relief and glanced at Dai Tu, her expression curious.
She estimated Dai Tu to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, and he wasn't even born when Senju Tobirama died.
She couldn't understand why Senju Tobirama would be so concerned about Dai Tu, as the two of them shouldn't have been that close.
"What's the situation with the Fourth Hokage?"
Mizumon En looked at Wave Water Gate and Moonbath Leader, voicing his confusion.
He had initially thought that Senju Tobirama and the others were fake Hokages because there were two Fourth Hokages in the group, which seemed obviously fake.
"Moonbath Leader is a powerful ally who came to support us from a parallel world," Senju Tobirama explained.
"Moonbath Leader is also a Fourth Hokage," Dai Tu added.
"A Fourth Hokage from a parallel world?" Mizumon En struggled to comprehend Senju Tobirama and Dai Tu's words.
After a lengthy explanation, Mizumon En and Haru Matsuri finally understood what a parallel world was.
"Where's Danzo? I haven't sensed his chakra on the battlefield or in the village," Senju Tobirama said, having activated his perception ninjutsu.
He had already seen three of his four disciples; only Danzo Shimura was missing.
"Danzo was killed by the S-rank rogue ninja, Sasuke," Mizumon En said with a pained expression.
"Danzo, as the acting Hokage, attended the Five Kage Summit to discuss important matters of the ninja world, but he was pursued and killed by the rogue ninja, Sasuke."
"Killed by Sasuke..." Senju Tobirama's expression turned contemplative.
Sasuke had indeed mentioned obtaining information about Uchiha Itachi from Danzo, but he didn't specify how he got it.
"That innately evil Uchiha brat," Senju Tobirama said sternly.
He had never liked Sasuke, who had boldly declared his intention to destroy Konoha, and now he disliked him even more.
Even as an acting Hokage, Sasuke had dared to kill a Hokage, and in Senju Tobirama's eyes, Sasuke was now on par with Uchiha Sasuke.
Moonbath Leader observed Mizumon En and Haru Matsuri, the two old actors, with interest.
Although they weren't as bad as Danzo, who had committed countless misdeeds, they were currently hindering Konoha's development.
"Uncle Shadow Clone, I really need to speak up for Sasuke," Dai Tu stepped forward and said upon hearing Danzo's name.
Haru Matsuri wanted to scold Dai Tu for his lack of respect, but recalling Senju Tobirama's gaze, she swallowed her words.
Senju Tobirama quietly observed Dai Tu, waiting for his explanation.
When Sasuke had declared his intention to destroy Konoha, Dai Tu's reaction had been even faster than his, which proved that Dai Tu didn't like Sasuke either.
"If Sasuke killed Danzo, he might not be wrong. The Danzo in our world is an absolute scoundrel; he's so evil that he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't commit a misdeed every day," Dai Tu said, waving his arms dramatically.
After the Ninja World Competition, Hiruzen Sarutobi had voluntarily released the investigation report on Moonbath Leader, which he had entrusted to Danzo. The report revealed Danzo's heinous crimes to the public.
The sheer number and severity of his crimes left a deep impression on the Konoha residents, marking Danzo as the number one villain in the history of Konoha's founding.
As the Hokage's assistant, Danzo had seriously violated the rules by abusing his power to amass wealth and develop his personal organization, the Root, which led to numerous problems.
Within the Root, Danzo employed illegal training methods that went against Konoha's regulations, causing ninjas to fight among themselves.
The most unbearable aspect was that Danzo even kidnapped civilians for inhumane experiments, with a survival rate of nearly zero.
Listening to Dai Tu list Danzo's crimes, even the usually calm Senju Hashirama's expression turned cold.
"Danzo might not be that bad in our world. There might be differences between the two worlds, and they might not be the same person," Hiruzen Sarutobi said after careful consideration, speaking up for Danzo.
In his memory, Danzo was indeed obsessive, but not to this extent.
Orochimaru was the more dangerous one.
"The Danzo in your world indeed deserved to die, but Monkey Boy is right. The two worlds are not entirely the same, and we need to conduct an actual investigation to confirm," Senju Tobirama agreed, nodding.
To uncover the truth, Senju Tobirama didn't linger in Konoha. He first went to the Hokage Tower to review the records with his original body and then sent his shadow clone to investigate.
In the end, Senju Tobirama sat in the Hokage's office, his expression cold as he stared at the two advisors standing at attention in front of the desk.
Damn it! How did my disciples become such a bunch of vermin?! That innately evil Uchiha brat should have been taken care of along with the others.
