Ma Buyi stared nervously at the Fourth Raikage, A.
"No."The Fourth Raikage answered loudly, full of confidence.
"But the opponent is the legendary God of Shinobi… Senju Hashirama!" Ma Buyi said anxiously.
"So what if he is the legendary God of Shinobi? As long as it isn't a true, permanent resurrection, there's nothing to fear."The Fourth Raikage analyzed calmly:
"The Huangquan Hirasaka Sword has a cooldown. Meaning—even if Konoha possesses such a terrifying killing tool, they can't just activate it freely."
"Besides—we merely surrounded Konoha. We haven't attacked them. What's there to panic about!?"
The Fourth Raikage spoke with absolute certainty:"Relax. For Konoha's sake alone… Hashirama absolutely won't strike us."
"And more importantly…"His eyes turned cold."…it was Hashirama's very existence that created this massive power gap between the villages."
"If Hashirama appears again, things will only spiral deeper into chaos."
"…Sister."
Ebizo stared up at the glowing list above Konoha with a grave expression.
"The Huangquan Hirasaka Sword…"
"After Senju Hashirama receives that reward, he'll definitely use it. Konoha's combat power will soar drastically…"
Ebizo said with deep worry.
"And once Hashirama sees we've surrounded Konoha… won't he…"
He looked toward Chiyo with concern.
"Maybe… we should withdraw the Sand ninja first."
Chiyo spoke calmly:
"Don't be afraid, little brother."
"Even if Hashirama can temporarily manifest in the human world through the Huangquan Hirasaka Sword, he won't actually attack us."
"Remember, it isn't just Sunagakure surrounding Konoha. Three other great villages are here as well."
"If he dares strike all four Great Villages at once—he will only bring catastrophe to Konoha."
"Hashirama may be powerful, but even he has limits. And he knows what would happen to Konoha afterward."
She spoke with confidence:
"Besides—I also received a reward from the list. My strength has grown significantly."
"If a fight truly breaks out… no one can say for sure what the outcome will be."
"Things are getting lively… Who would've thought—even the legendary Senju Hashirama would return."
Onoki stared at the list above Konoha, jealousy flickering in his eyes.
"The sword of the Yellow Springs… the ability to control Yomi's power…"
"Terrifying. With this, Hashirama can resurrect himself temporarily…"
His voice trembled slightly.
"Tsuchikage-sama, should we withdraw?" the Red Earth asked cautiously.
Onoki shook his head.
"No."
"Even if Hashirama is resurrected, it's only temporary. He cannot engage in large-scale combat."
Onoki analyzed with rare clarity:
"The shinobi world is undergoing enormous change. This mysterious list appeared out of nowhere above Konoha—capable of seeing everything throughout history."
"Not only that—it can play images before the entire shinobi world."
His narrowed eyes reflected greed and fear.
"And even more terrifying—"
"The list can gather people from around the world, rank them, and issue rewards… rewards that can increase strength… or even resurrect the dead."
"And such a miraculous list is floating above Konoha."
"Therefore, our stance will be simple: we're here to witness this phenomenon—not to besiege Konoha."
"As long as we do not attack first, and maintain a stalemate—even Hashirama can do nothing to us."
Red Earth's eyes lit up with admiration.
"As expected of Tsuchikage-sama!"
Onoki chuckled.
"No need to withdraw. Let Iwagakure's troops maintain their positions."
"Yes!"
Akatsuki Headquarters
"To think… a sword that controls the Yellow Springs… that can temporarily revive the dead…"
Everyone stared at the list, their faces turning pale.
And the one receiving this reward was none other than—
The God of Shinobi. The First Hokage. Senju Hashirama.
If he revived…
Wouldn't he first seek revenge against Akatsuki for invading and destroying Konoha in the future timeline?
Especially their leader, Pain—Nagato—who obliterated Konoha with a single Shinra Tensei in the future image.
One by one, the members turned to glare resentfully at Tendo Pain.
Then back at the list.
Then back at Pain.
Every Akatsuki member silently swallowed.
"…Is it too late to resign from Akatsuki?"
Pure Land Realm
When Hashirama saw the reward list, he suddenly became excited.
[Senju Hashirama: Nani!? The Huangquan Hirasaka Sword!? Something that controls Yomi's power and lets someone walk the human world temporarily!?]
[Senju Hashirama: Doesn't that mean I can be resurrected too!? I can go to the human world like Madara Uchiha did!?]
[Senju Tobirama: Yes, big brother! Congratulations! You'll finally get to return to the shinobi world!]
[Senju Hashirama: Yes… I wonder what the shinobi world is like now… I'm so curious!]
[Senju Tobirama: I hope the world achieved peace… and that Konoha has become strong under our ideals.]
[Senju Hashirama: After we distributed the Tailed Beasts, the villages balanced each other. Peace should've lasted… hopefully.]
[Senju Hashirama: Still… the idea of returning to the shinobi world… I can hardly stay calm!]
Uzumaki Mito spoke gently:
[Uzumaki Mito: Yes, husband. You'll also be able to see our little granddaughter, Tsunade. Look at what she has become.]
[Uzumaki Mito: In the future vision, Tsunade fought Madara herself. She became the proud kunoichi of Konoha.]
[Senju Hashirama: I believe in her! Tsunade will surely be great!]
[Senju Hashirama: Speaking of Tsunade… it reminds me of two others…]
Tobirama's expression darkened instantly.
[Senju Tobirama: Big brother—are you thinking about those two scums, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo!?]
Hashirama nodded.
[Senju Hashirama: Yes. Those two.]
Tobirama gritted his teeth:
[Senju Tobirama: Big brother! Those two have betrayed everything! I severed my ties with them! When you return—do not hold back! Teach them a harsh lesson!]
[Senju Tobirama: If I could resurrect, I'd flay them myself! So please—beat them once for my sake too!]
Hashirama replied firmly:
[Senju Hashirama: Don't worry. That's my intention! They tarnished Konoha's name and committed countless crimes.]
[Senju Hashirama: Experimenting on children… destroying the Senju and Uchiha clans…]
[Senju Hashirama: Creating the Root division, committing atrocities from the shadows while hiding underground when Konoha was in danger…]
[Senju Hashirama: Agreeing to unreasonable treaties, provoking the Hyuga conflict, pushing heroes like Sakumo to their deaths…]
[Senju Hashirama: Their crimes are endless!]
[Senju Hashirama: As the First Hokage—I cannot ignore this.]
Mito joined in:
[Uzumaki Mito: Husband, well said! Give those villains the punishment they deserve!]
[Senju Hashirama: Rest assured, wife! When I return, I will educate them thoroughly.]
Mito's eyes teared up.
[Uzumaki Mito: Yes… husband…]
[Senju Hashirama: Don't cry, love. It's not like I won't come back…]
Before he could finish, Mito threw her arms around him, tears flowing.
The two held each other tightly.
