At the Chūnin Exam venue, Tsunade was already on the verge of exploding with rage after witnessing Danzo play with the souls of her loved ones.
But then, Uchiha Madara suddenly asked her, in his usual domineering tone, how many children she had, instantly causing her face to stiffen and turn dark.
Even Uchiha Shirou, who was sitting confidently on the Hokage's stone chair with an air of authority, had a mont of awkward stiffness on his face. For all his grandeur, even he couldn't mask his reaction.
Who ets soone and imdiately asks how many kids they have?
At that mont, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, couldn't handle Uchiha Madara's smug expression anymore. Glaring at Tsunade from afar, he shouted:
"Tsunade! Tell ! How many children did you have?"
"Tobirama!"
Senju Hashirama, the First Hokage and the embodint of carefree wisdom glared at his younger brother with a commanding presence. Then, turning to laugh heartily, he said:
"Little Tsuna inherited the strong constitution of our Senju clan. She must've had quite a few!"
This whole situation left Senju Tsunade feeling both aggrieved and furious. To ask her, in front of so many people, how many children she had—these old fogeys were unbelievable!
"Haha, Madara, look how wonderful this is—Senju and Uchiha have finally beco one family."
Hashirama's thick-headed reaction left Uchiha Madara feeling utterly stifled. He had been preparing this for years! Yet here was this idiot Senju Hashirama! At that mont, Madara also felt a sense of defeat. If it weren't for that annoying white-haired Tobirama looking like he was about to explode, Madara would've thought all his efforts over the years had gone to waste.
"Idiot!"
Uchiha Madara snorted coldly in frustration. anwhile, Senju Tobirama was just as exasperated.
"Big brother, there are so many people here—try to maintain so image!"
"Haha, Tobirama, look! Madara's descendant married Little Tsuna! I'm so happy! If only Madara had been a woman back then, none of those later troubles would've ever happened."
Overco with emotion, the First Hokage shouted this with tears in his eyes. Upon hearing this, Madara's face turned green.
"Hashirama! You're the one who should've been a woman!"
The usually aloof and dignified Uchiha Madara completely lost his composure whenever he was around Senju Hashirama. It was as if their fates were destined to clash, and even his usual deanor couldn't hold up.
"Haha, don't take it so seriously, Madara."
Hashirama's oblivious and carefree attitude left even Tobirama at a loss for words.
"Enough! Grandpa, Second Grandpa! Danzo has long been stripped of his status as a Konoha ninja. He's now an S-rank fugitive. And as for Hiruzen Sarutobi, if it weren't for maintaining the village's reputation..."
Tsunade angrily berated them, her rage boiling over as she listed the cris of the two n over the years. She knew her grandfather's personality all too well—if this continued, their family's reputation would be completely ruined.
"What?! The Monkey and Danzo conducted human experints, tampered with the Sharingan and Wood Release bloodlines..."
When he heard that these experints involved his older brother's body, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama completely lost it.
"Sarutobi! Danzo!"
In his fury, he didn't even bother to call Hiruzen by his nickna, "Monkey." Tobirama's rage burned as he declared that he alone had the right to study his brother's body—no one else!
On the side, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face froze, his eyes darting around in guilt as he stamred:
"Teacher... Back then, the village was facing..."
Before he could finish, Danzo cut him off sharply.
"Teacher, everything I've done was for Konoha. Forgive for what I must do!"
With that, Danzo ford a hand seal and shouted. Instantly, the bodies of several people resurrected by the Edo Tensei began to move uncontrollably.
"Danzo! You dare manipulate us?!"
Tobirama was enraged. His body was bound, and what made it worse was that the Edo Tensei vessels couldn't unleash his full power, leaving him unable to break free.
Uchiha Madara, too, showed a flicker of anger. Though he could break the control, he chose to hold back, curious to test the strength of the current Uchiha Shirou.
At the sa ti, Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan caught a glimpse of Hashirama's reaction. Sure enough, the First Hokage laughed heartily as he said, "Sorry, Little Tsuna, it looks like we'll be causing you so trouble."
"Annoying!"
From afar, Tsunade flicked her head, shaking away the mist of tears in her eyes as a fiery anger blazed forth.
It was obvious that Hashirama could easily break free of the control, but doing so would destroy the Edo Tensei body.
As the resurrected Hokage began to charge, Shirou shouted coldly:
"Konan, Samui, Yugito, Mabui—the Four Kage, along with Hiruzen and the Third Raikage, are yours to handle!"
"Yes!"
The four kunoichi, who served as elite guards, responded without hesitation. Their teamwork, honed over ti, made them a fearso unit.
"Uchiha Shirou! The Fourth Kazekage, Mizukage, Hiruzen, and the Third Raikage all have perfect vessels!"
Danzo roared in anger as the two sides clashed.
anwhile, Hashirama, Tobirama, and Madara charged forward to engage Shirou and Tsunade.
"Little Tsuna, I heard from the Monkey that this man of yours wants to unify the entire ninja world?"
Hashirama, snapping out of his focus, looked at Shirou before him with curiosity.
Tsunade dodged an attack and snorted coldly. "That's right. History has proven that your philosophy, Grandpa, was wrong. The mont you died, the ninja world erupted into a brutal war."
"Your overwhelming strength forced the world into your version of peace. But when that strength disappeared, greed and desire inevitably led to another war. All that changed was the scale—from clan skirmishes in the Warring States era to full-blown wars between nations and villages."
Tsunade spoke calmly, laying out the harsh truth. Hashirama nodded thoughtfully, even as he fought.
"You know, you make a lot of sense."
"Big Brother!" Tobirama, on the verge of exploding, widened his eyes. "Is this the ti for this conversation?!"
"Big Brother, an Uchiha married Little Tsuna. The Uchiha now control Konoha!"
Tobirama, seething with frustration, tried to get his older brother to focus.
But Hashirama simply laughed heartily.
This train of thought left Tobirama utterly speechless. Of all things, this was the one he couldn't tolerate!
"Besides, didn't Little Tsuna inherit the Senju surna? Oh, by the way, is it true that as long as your kids don't awaken the Sharingan, they'll take the Senju na?"
At this point, Senju Hashirama seed to think of sothing, and he looked at his granddaughter with excitent.
Faced with this strange logic, Tsunade hadn't even had ti to refute it when Uchiha Madara, standing nearby, completely lost his temper.
"Let tell you, the pride of the Uchiha will never allow it. The children must carry the Uchiha na!"
On this matter, Uchiha Madara was firmly opposed.
For the first ti, Shirou felt stifled. Damn it! These old geezers' verbal attacks were just too strong.
"With the Senju clan's physique, one child a year is not a problem. With Uchiha Shirou's bloodline that awakened the Mangekyō, the responsibility of strengthening the clan rests on you!"
Madara's domineering voice was so loud that almost everyone heard it. Tsunade, who had been excited a mont ago, was instantly dumbfounded.
The next mont, Tsunade shouted in embarrassnt and anger, "Shut up!"
She was furious! What were her grandfather and Uchiha Madara treating her as? One child a year? And they dared to say in front of everyone.
How humiliating! Too humiliating!
"Enough!"
At the sa ti, Tobirama also yelled frantically to stop his embarrassing older brother.
anwhile, Uchiha Madara, watching this scene unfold, felt as if he had just chugged a can of ice-cold soda on a scorching sumr day. His whole body felt refreshed.
Satisfying! Finally! The frustration that had built up for countless years was finally being vented.
"Haha, Hashirama, in the end, the legacy of Konoha belongs to the Uchiha!"
"Madara! Your way of thinking is wrong!"
Madara, already familiar with Hashirama's naïve reasoning, didn't even bother replying. Instead, he burst into laughter, giving a provocative look to the white-haired Tobirama, and deliberately said:
"Haha, Uchiha Shirou, in this one thing, I, Uchiha Madara, am willing to call you the strongest!"
Shirou and Tsunade exchanged glances and imdiately understood the aning in each other's eyes.
Beat him up!
...
The sudden scene shocked everyone. The dead had been summoned back to life, and the foreign ninja were all dumbfounded.
When the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, saw Uchiha Madara's imposing figure, panic flashed in his eyes. The long-buried fear resurfaced in his heart.
"Old man!"
"All Iwa-nin are to remain still!" Faced with his granddaughter Kurotsuchi's concern, Ōnoki gritted his teeth and barked out the order.
If—if Konoha had also mastered this kind of power, then once he returned, he would never step outside again!
"Father!"
Nearby, the Fourth Raikage A was furious. His father had been resurrected and controlled, but for now, he couldn't let the Kumo-nin act recklessly.
Under the terrifying battle, the Third Raikage's strongest shield and spear were indeed powerful, but Mabui's Flying Thunder God technique, which belonged to the realm of space-ti ninjutsu, completely restrained the Third Raikage.
anwhile, Samui's Lightning Release Taijutsu directly pinned down the Fourth Kazekage Rasa. Yugito, wearing the Tailed Beast Cloak and activating the Sage Mode, was overwhelming the Fourth Mizukage with ease.
Under Konan's Paper Release, which flew everywhere like a storm, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was also being suppressed.
"Wow! So strong! The Fourth Hokage's personal guards are unbelievably strong!"
Many Konoha ninjas were stunned by the battle, feeling that the strength on display was almost excessive.
The four Hokage guards' combat power was on par with the four Kage-level opponents.
"My body isn't under my control, or rather, my combat instincts are controlling it. The target is Tsunade's husband."
Under Senju Hashirama's overwhelming Taijutsu attacks, he also launched verbal assaults, leaving Tsunade furious. But the worst part was that this was her grandfather.
"Uchiha, I have to admit, your ambition is impressive. You're even crazier than Madara, daring to dream of uniting the ninja world. But! You're too dangerous!"
Senju Tobirama stared at Shirou with a face full of hostility, but just then, a figure shot forward like a sharp blade.
"Tobirama, watch out!"
With Hashirama's shout of alarm, a blue-armored figure kicked Senju Tobirama's cracked face.
The force of the kick sent Tobirama flying like a cannonball, crashing into a wall with a loud bang.
"Well done!"
Seeing this, Uchiha Madara's face lit up with excitent, and he couldn't help but shout.
Damn! He had disliked Tobirama for a long ti. After all, his brother had died at Tobirama's hands. Hit him harder!
Nearby, Hashirama looked exasperated at the scene.
"Madara, Tobirama is my brother."
Hashirama sighed helplessly as if to say, "Aren't we supposed to be on the sa team now?"
As the figure landed, Hashirama's face showed astonishnt. The person in blue armor, with flowing black hair, wielding a majestic Gunbai fan, and bearing a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, looked strikingly like Madara.
"Mikoto!"
Uchiha Mikoto, clad in blue armor, made a commanding entrance. She held the Gunbai fan and gazed coldly at the enemies before her.
"Even though you are past Hokage, you are now my enemies."
Her cold and concise words echoed, giving Hashirama the impression that she was a replica of Madara. Unable to hold back, he blurted out:
"Madara! Is this also your descendant!?"
Madara, who had been full of excitent, suddenly felt frustrated. With a disgruntled snort, he replied:
"Hashirama, she also has a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan!"
Tobirama, erging from the rubble, looked furious. Another Mangekyō Sharingan user.
Watching from a distance, Danzo, who had been hiding, shouted in alarm:
"Second Hokage, this person is the first to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan after Uchiha Madara. She's also the wife of this evil Uchiha Shirou. Be careful!"
"What!? How many wives does this guy have!?" Hashirama's brain buzzed, while Madara couldn't help but shout excitedly:
"Well done, Uchiha Shirou. I, Uchiha Madara, approve of you!"
Madara roared with excitent. The frustration of being betrayed and exiled in the past was completely released today.
Satisfying!
Uchiha Shirou, Uchiha Mikoto, and Senju Tsunade VS Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and Uchiha Madara.
3 VS 3
"Forr Hokages, it seems we'll have to defeat you first."
Facing the past Hokage, Shirou couldn't help but show a trace of disappointnt. They weren't at their strongest, which left him slightly disheartened—but no matter.
"It seems we're being underestimated!"
Despite their bodies being under control, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara couldn't help but feel a surge of fighting spirit when they saw Shirou's disappointed expression.
After all, they were proud individuals at their core!
"Madara!"
"Hashirama!"
The two exchanged glances and shouted in unison. Perhaps the Edo Tensei technique had provided them a stage—a stage for the two to once again fight side by side.
As Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara's expressions turned serious, terrifying chakra erupted from their bodies in an instant.
At this mont, Shimura Danzo seed to sense sothing, and his pupils shrank.
"This is bad! The constraints of Edo Tensei might be broken at any mont!"
anwhile, Uchiha Obito was already being closely watched by Minato Namikaze, leaving him unable to intervene.
The next mont, Konoha's shinobi felt the oppressive force of this terrifying chakra.
"How... how is this possible?!"
As a genius from Iwagakure, Kurotsuchi was drenched in cold sweat, trembling in fear at the overwhelming pressure of the chakra. This was sothing she had never felt, not even from tailed beasts or jinchūriki.
"So... this is the era my grandfather spoke of? These terrifying beings existed!"
Kurotsuchi swallowed hard, her mind flashing back to the stories told by her grandfather, Ōnoki. She turned to see the fear in his eyes, and for the first ti, she began to understand the source of his terror.
"This is the power of our predecessors? How frightening!"
Countless Konoha shinobi stared in shock at the oppressive chakra emanating from the rooftop. Was this the true power of the past Hokage?
On the Five Kage spectators' platform, the Fourth Raikage, A, widened his eyes in disbelief. Just the pressure from this chakra alone far surpassed the Eight-Tails.
"They're getting serious now!"
Just as Shirou revealed an excited grin, Senju Tsunade suddenly shouted in anger:
"This farce ends now!"
In an instant, a terrifying surge of chakra swept outward. At the sa ti, Tsunade clapped her hands together with a resounding force. This scene left Hashirama, Madara, and Tobirama utterly stunned.
"That seal—!" Hashirama and Madara stared in shock at the familiar hand sign.
"Could it be?!" The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, seed to realize sothing, his face filled with excitent!
PS: This Chapter took a while to edit. The past hokages and Madara acting like cultivation sect elders. It's so hard to read. xD
