Chapter 3: The Cruel Tobirama Will Never Die Because of Kumogakure Ninjas
[Space and Time: Second Hokage
Time: Konoha Year 17
Unification Progress: 18%]
Hashirama only felt his body sway, and he disappeared into the Hokage's office and appeared in a dense forest.
Hiraishin no Jutsu?
No, it must be a stronger space-time ninjutsu!
Hiraishin no Jutsu couldn't just bring him here like that.
Is it the power of this man's Rinnegan?
Could it be an illusion? Hashirama was arrogant, and he still had the ability to distinguish illusions.
Even Madara's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan couldn't make him sink for a moment.
If this was really an illusion several times stronger than Madara's illusion, then he had no choice but to admit it.
"Where is this?"
"The world 17 years later is within the scope of the Land of Lightning."
"The Kumogakure Village you just mentioned is the ninja village that was later established by the Land of Lightning?"
"That's right."
Hashirama was surprised. He was actually brought to the world 17 years in the future? Could this man really be an immortal being comparable to the Rikudo Sennin?
After all, he was also the God of Ninja, so Hashirama quickly calmed down.
He didn't forget his main goal, which was to find out how Tobirama died?
Hashirama closed his eyes and took a moment to sense.
He instantly locked onto Tobirama's chakra aura in the distance.
Then, driven by his desire to save his brother, he immediately dodged and jumped towards it.
Lux shook his head. Hashirama was very difficult to serve. As soon as he heard that his brother was in danger, the whole world would be destroyed!
How could Lux, who was still a human being, keep up with Hashirama's speed, so he had to activate World Teleportation again.
Hundreds of meters away.
As Hashirama sat on a thick tree branch, Lux teleported to his side.
And signaled him to hide quietly first.
Hashirama did as he was told and looked towards the grass in the distance.
At this time, 'Parallel Worlds 2, Second Hokage Senju Tobirama' was discussing escape strategies with the gathered elite guard team members.
"Is that really Tobirama? He's much older! His chakra isn't as good as before. Is this chakra aura injured?"
"And those two, are they Saru and Danzo? And the Uchiha members? They all have good auras and look much more mature and reliable. Tobirama has trained a good group of students!"
At a glance, Hashirama recognized Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, and admired their changes.
But he was also pleased with Hiruzen and the others' growth.
"Sir, what is that Tobirama and the others?"
Hashirama turned to ask, very confused about the current situation. After all, this might happen years from now, and he has no understanding of the current situation.
Lux also explained briefly.
That is: the 17th year of Konoha, when the First Shinobi World War took place.
The Second Raikage took advantage of Hashirama's death and attacked Konoha, but was successfully repelled by Second Hokage Tobirama and his Konoha forces.
The Second Raikage saw that the situation was not right and prepared to negotiate peace. As a result, the brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku objected, but the Second Raikage refused to accept it and still decided to negotiate peace and an alliance. As a result, he was killed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku at the peace conference. The two also severely injured Tobirama in a sneak attack, and continued to lead the elite forces to hunt down Tobirama, Hiruzen and the others.
Severely injured, Tobirama couldn't escape with his six bodyguards, so he chose to remain as bait, and tested his subordinates by sacrificing himself as bait until death. Although Danzo had the idea to volunteer as bait, he was too ashamed to speak at the critical moment.
At that time, Hiruzen stepped forward and was willing to take the bait. Tobirama praised Hiruzen's actions and appointed Hiruzen as the next Hokage.
In the end, he died heroically while protecting Hiruzen and the others.
Hashirama saw everything that happened below and sighed silently:
"Testing your subordinates at this time seems like something Tobirama would do!"
"But he has already decided to let Saru become the next Hokage, right? This test is just to make his teammates more confident in Saru."
"And Danzo, his hands are trembling. Although impulsive, he is still afraid of death! Yes, this is human nature. Death is not so easily defeated!"
"Everything Madara, Tobirama, and I have done is to prevent groups of children from facing such cruel choices of death on the battlefield..."
"Saru has really grown into a brave ninja."
"I think he will definitely be a great Hokage!"
Hearing this, Lux silently sneered.
'Wait until next time, you'll see this amazing Saru and his group of villainous consultants and staff. In just twenty or thirty years, they will bring disaster to the entire Senju Clan.'
Hashirama will know what 'excellence' means.
However, there is one thing to say, at least Hiruzen, Danzo and the others in this period can be called extraordinary.
Their merits cannot outweigh the sins they committed. And the evil they did in the second half of their lives cannot cover up their contributions to the village at this time.

Soon, Hiruzen's group left.
Only one person, Tobirama, remained, and he began to set traps and act as bait, preparing to delay the pursuit forces of Kikaku and Ginkaku.
He was in a very bad state at this time.
Most of his chakra was consumed, and five internal organs were injured. Now, the most important thing was his determination so that he could maintain the majesty of the Hokage in front of Hiruzen and the others.
Many people could blame him and the Second Raikage for being careless.
The Second Raikage didn't expect his subordinates to dare to stab him in the back, and Tobirama didn't expect the Second Raikage to be stabbed in the back by his subordinates! This made the peace conference a trap.
As for the sneak attack, it all made sense.
Madara Rikudo could still be torn apart by the Black Zetsu!
Even though he was seriously injured, and even though he was left as bait, Tobirama wouldn't give up easily.
He was the dignified Second Hokage, so he should at least damage the Kumogakure pursuit forces and kill at least Kinkaku and Ginkaku to ensure that Hiruzen and the others could return to Konoha alive.
'Huft, how nice it would be if brother were still here. These clowns don't even have the courage to start a war!'
Tobirama sighed as he continued to set traps.
❀❀❀
At the same time, seeing the lonely figure of Tobirama on the tree branch, Hashirama felt very sad.
He couldn't imagine his arrogant brother being so lonely and ashamed at this time.
"Are those Kinkaku and Ginkaku very strong? Why haven't I heard of them?" Hashirama asked in a low voice.
When Tobirama slashed Izuna to death, it was very cruel, it was done quickly.
Lux simply explained: "They have the Rikudo Sennin Ninja Tools and part of the Kyuubi's Chakra. Their strength is similar to ordinary Kage. Normally, your brother could defeat them..."
"Then why?"
"It was probably a sneak attack, he was careless and didn't dodge."
"So that's it!"
Hashirama suddenly realized that sneak attacks and the like were indeed despicable.
But after a pause.
He still added: "Tobirama has really regressed. I can't let him learn forbidden arts anymore. He needs to be trained to improve his fighting skills!"
At that moment.
Kinkaku and Ginkaku led a group of elite cloud ninjas to the battlefield.
Seeing the enemy approaching, Hashirama became anxious.
Based on his strength, he could accurately judge. Given Tobirama's poor condition at this time, he would most likely not be able to match the strength of these Kumogakure ninjas.
If he wanted to save Tobirama, he had to take action!
But could he take action on his own?
It seems that he is in the future timeline 16 years later. Would a hasty intervention cause a disaster?
Hashirama turned to look at Lux, the urgency in his eyes seemed to seek approval from Lux, 'the supposed immortal'.
"Don't worry, wait a while before taking action."
"That's just making your arrogant brother suffer even more."
The living Tobirama is more valuable than the dead Tobirama.
At least it can maintain the integrity of Konoha as a whole, making it easier for the Second Hokage to complete the task of unifying the ninja world.
And the greater suffering at this time can also further arouse Tobirama's anger, so that he can persuade him to unify the ninja world.
This is Lux's real purpose for coming to this parallel world.
