Chapter 15 What did you all protect?
As Tobirama Senju watched Izuna Uchiha disappear into the distance, his expression became incredibly complex.
He began to analyze the current situation.
"Izuna was resurrected by someone and gained a special physique."
"However, it seems that he has not yet regained his full power."
"Moreover, he seems unaware of the current state of the ninja world, let alone that Madara Uchiha is dead."
Thinking of this, Tobirama's expression turned serious.
"If he finds out that Madara Uchiha was killed by my older brother, then Konoha will..."
He knew very well what kind of personality the Uchiha clan had. If Izuna knew what happened to Madara Uchiha, he would definitely go berserk.
"No, Uchiha Izuna, I absolutely will not allow you to lay a hand on Konoha if you insist on doing so."
Tobirama clenched his fist.
"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time. Even if I can't kill you, I will seal you away!"
He made a decision: he absolutely could not die easily now. He had to protect Konoha and would never allow the village his elder brother had built to be destroyed by Uchiha Izuna.
However, he never imagined that Uchiha Izuna had never been resurrected at all.
The person who came to his rescue was an imposter.
Yellow Weasel Grave.
Haha, what a bumper harvest!
Sitting on the grass, Tetsuya, whose chest injury had healed, played with the Six Paths Blades.
He thought the Seven Star Sword and the Banana Leaf Fan were the most fun.
These two things are simple and straightforward, and there aren't many complicated steps involved in using them.
"It's a pity that these items all belong to Izuna, so I don't have the chance to use them openly."
Looking at the four treasures on the ground, Tetsuya sighed.
"But judging by the time, the war should be over by now."
Thinking this, he took out a scroll and gathered up everything on the ground.
"Master Wong, I should go back now."
Upon hearing Tetsuya's voice, Huang Bai also appeared in front of him.
"Going back?"
"Well, that's about it. The war should be over soon, and this combat training should also be over."
Huang Bai looked at Tetsuya and nodded.
"It's time to end this. You've grown a lot from this war."
Huang Bai stayed with Tetsuya from the start of the battle, and he witnessed Tetsuya's growth firsthand.
From a novice who trembled when he first started killing, he grew to the point where he could team up with the Kage of the village to fight against a fake Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.
Such growth is considerable.
"Hehe, it's alright, all thanks to Wong Tai Sin's good teaching."
"Hmph, glib tongue."
Huang Bai laughed; after all, who doesn't like being flattered?
Konoha, Hokage Building.
The Hokage's guards who had escaped gathered here, along with the heads of various ninja clans.
Their gazes fell upon Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Here's a joke: the Hokage's guards only managed to escape because the Hokage himself had to sacrifice himself to cover their retreat.
Are you guys the Hokage's guards, or is the Hokage the guards of you guys?
What else is there to say? The Second Hokage has already handed over the Hokage position to you.
Are you kidding me?
The Uchiha clan, who were extremely obsessed with the Hokage position, were the first to speak and question the matter.
"You're saying that on the battlefield, the Second Hokage passed the position to you, Hiruzen Sarutobi? What evidence do you have to prove that what you're saying is true!"
Faced with the Uchiha's questioning.
Danzo Shimura gave a look of disgust, as did the others.
As Tobirama's students, their dislike for the Uchiha clan was inherited.
"Hmph, the teacher said it himself, and we are all witnesses!"
The head of the Hyuga clan sneered.
"Hmph, who knows if you're all in cahoots to lie. Although you are Lord Tobirama's students, you are also his guards."
The implication behind his words is quite clear: you are guards, and the targets you are supposed to protect sacrificed themselves to protect you. So what exactly were you protecting?
Many clan leaders began to question Hiruzen Sarutobi, while others remained neutral, such as the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
Just as everyone was arguing, the door to the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open.
When everyone could see who was at the door, the entire office fell silent.
"What are you all arguing about!"
Tobirama looked at the heads of various clans and his students and couldn't help but rebuke them.
"Teacher!" *4
"Lord Tobirama!" *N
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately stood up from his seat and gave up his place.
He felt both happy and regretful upon seeing Tobirama.
He was happy that his teacher was still alive, but regretful that he probably wouldn't be able to become Hokage for the time being.
"Monkey, it's been so long and you still haven't been able to bring stability to the village. You've disappointed me greatly."
Tobirama went straight to the Hokage seat and sat down, somewhat dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi's performance.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his head, while Danzo felt a little happy inside.
Hiruzen has angered the teacher, so doesn't that mean I still have a chance?
Back on the battlefield, when Tobirama said he would leave someone behind to cover the retreat, he actually wanted to step forward as well.
But he hesitated for a second at the last moment, allowing Hiruzen Sarutobi to step forward first, which caused him to miss out on the Hokage position.
Fortunately, Tobirama-sensei has returned alive, which means that Hiruzen will not be able to take the Hokage position for the time being. As long as Hiruzen hasn't taken that position, I still have a chance.
Tobirama looked at everyone and spoke.
"I did say that I would pass the Hokage position to Hiruzen. Does anyone have any questions about that?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
After all, Tobirama's reputation was undeniable, and even the Uchiha clan fell silent.
"However, judging from today's events, Hiruzen, you are not ready to take over my position."
"The teacher is right."
Hiruzen Sarutobi obediently lowered his head.
Tobirama glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the other villagers.
"Alright, since everyone's here, let me just say a few words. The war is nearing its end, and next..."
The return of Tobirama Senju was undoubtedly a momentous event, which revitalized the previously gloomy Konoha.
Soon, news came from Yunying's side.
With the deaths of Jinjiao and Yinjiao, the rebellion in Yunying Village came to an end.
The Third Raikage has taken over and wants to resume peace talks with Konoha.
Tobirama agreed, but this peace negotiation had to be led by Konoha, and it was a foregone conclusion that the Cloud Shadow would have to shed a great deal of blood.
However, none of this has anything to do with Tetsuya.
Back in Konoha, Tetsuya lay in bed.
"I'm so tired, I can finally rest for a bit."
"Hahoo~!"
He yawned and suddenly remembered something.
"What if I really resurrected Uchiha Izuna?"
