Is that really the case?
Tobirama Senju quickly realized that he had been making assumptions.
[Today's episode.]
[This appears to be a judgment against Hiruzen Sarutobi.]
In reality... the trial wasn't just for Hiruzen Sarutobi, but also for both brothers.
The people from other villages watched with incredible focus.
The sounds of fighting outside the arena couldn't dampen their curiosity.
Everyone knows.
Today will inevitably bring about a result.
The history of Konoha.
This will also divide the situation into upper and lower levels.
Of course.
[The premise is that the handsome young man is willing to let Konoha continue to exist.]
[So. ]
[The History of Konoha, Volume 2.]
[Page 1 - Everything is being rebuilt, and countless talents are flocking to Konoha!]
However, these are just the thoughts of some clever "spectators."
How things will actually turn out depends on that young man.
"Xiao Gang..."
Hashirama Senju lowered his eyes slightly, not daring to look at Tsunade.
"Grandpa."
"Look at Konoha now, what has it become?"
"The old leaves burn themselves to illuminate the tender buds."
"But why is it that over the years, what I've seen more often is tender shoots burning themselves to illuminate older leaves?"
[Waaaaah—! ...
[Upon hearing Tsunade say this.]
The villagers, brainwashed by the Will of Fire, couldn't take it anymore.
This is a public "insult" to the supreme Will of Fire.
[This is intolerable!]
"You said you would never let any more children die because of war."
["But."]
"Over the years, the youngest child to die on the battlefield has never been more than ten years old!"
"The Ninja Academy...is a form of protection, but if you graduate early and become a genin, you're no longer under that protection!"
"That's quite a skill."
Tobirama Senju's pupils suddenly contracted.
Has it come to this point already?
[hehe. ]
Tobirama Senju closed his eyes in anguish.
[yes. ]
[Even the Land of Whirlpools can be removed.]
[And what about the Uchiha clan whose teeth have been pulled?]
The alliance that had been friendly for generations is now gone.
[And now, the sharpest blade since the Thousand Hands technique has been lost.]
[It's not so surprising that children are being sent to the battlefield.]
Hashirama Senju was speechless.
He didn't know how to answer.
The words Madara Uchiha had said to him back then kept echoing in his mind.
This is putting the cart before the horse.
[They reaped what they sowed.]
The Senju Uchiha clan exists in name only.
"They even killed Rope Tree."
"I was also caused to develop hemophobia... which drove Konoha away."
"Second Grandfather."
"Why did you have to die so young?"
Is it my turn?
Tobirama Senju paused for a moment.
Immediately, a surge of anger welled up in his chest, and he couldn't get it out.
[I just felt unbearable pain.]
He looked at Tsunade with a face full of guilt.
He opened his mouth, but then didn't know what to say.
"Why did you make him Hokage?!"
[Upon hearing the name Rope Tree.]
Orochimaru's smile froze.
[Then it gradually subsided.]
Finally, they shifted their gaze away from Naruto.
She looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Memories of Rope Tree, long sealed away in my mind, resurfaced.
The death of Rope Tree made her realize the fragility of life.
That's why they started researching the art of immortality.
Orochimaru: "Hehehe~"
Orochimaru: "That's how it is."
Orochimaru: "Naruto with black frames is right."
Orochimaru: "Back then... that was indeed the case, and that was the only way it could be."
After all, it happened right under Orochimaru's nose.
She was also the commander of Konoha for many years.
She could tell whose methods were being used at a glance.
That's why I was disappointed.
Disappointed to the point of despair.
When the heart dies, other things arise.
The fragility of life...
Just then.
Tsunade suddenly glanced at Orochimaru.
Her eyes were red and swollen.
Large tears kept sliding down her cheeks.
Orochimaru looked away, avoiding her gaze.
"Orochimaru."
Are you very sad?
"Your plan to destroy Konoha has been ruined."
"Aren't you saddened that you couldn't let your beloved Third Hokage die as a hero?"
[These words.]
[The Konoha villagers who had been imprisoned below also came to their senses.]
[yes! ]
[They were so busy criticizing everyone else that they forgot about Orochimaru, the guy who was planning to kill his master!]
Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a few whimpers, but to no avail.
[but. ]
At this moment, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were too preoccupied to deal with it.
The two brothers exchanged a glance.
They both saw the deep astonishment in each other's eyes.
[Hemophobia? ]
[Still the little princess who grew up spoiled by everyone...]
[He actually has hemophobia?!]
What methods would be needed to achieve this?!
These two brothers certainly understood Tsunade's personality.
[It's big at a glance.]
Even children like this have been driven to develop hemophobia.
[That must have involved so much pain and so much torment...]
Most importantly, there are the Konoha villagers below who are imprisoned.
[When he was spewing nonsense.]
[A piece of information has been revealed.]
Their beloved little princess is one of the top medical ninjas in the ninja world.
They even pioneered a ninja medical system.
[Made a tremendous contribution.]
Of course, in their mouths, this contribution was minimal; the most important credit went to the Third Hokage, and they even said that Tsunade was arrogant because of his favor.
[A medical ninja with exceptional medical skills.]
[Do you have hemophobia?]
"Xiao Gang..."
"You really... have hemophobia?"
Tobirama Senju's voice trembled slightly.
Tsunade turned around abruptly, glaring at him fiercely.
But soon, that hatred and ferocity transformed into a deep sense of grievance.
[Next.]
[She has transformed back into the Tsunade most familiar to Tobirama and Hashirama Senju.]
[Each time the two brothers hardened their hearts and strictly forbade a certain bad behavior.]
[The appearance that only appears...]
Tsunade sobbed, her emotions finally erupting.
Those large teardrops were like the bleeding hearts of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
[Although the two are now resurrected through Edo Tensei.]
[But I still felt that pain that went deep into my soul.]
The optimistic ninja god is no longer optimistic, and the calm inventor of ninjutsu is no longer calm.
The two brothers stood frozen in place, somewhat at a loss.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Orochimaru coughed twice.
[Since Naruto-kun with the black-rimmed glasses likes it.]
Then I can't let this drama stop.
["actually."]
"The death of Nawaki had already caused Tsunade immense psychological trauma."
"From that time on, Tsunade developed psychological issues."
"It's just not that obvious."
Orochimaru's voice immediately woke Tobirama Senju.
How did Rope Tree die?
