Chapter 270 - 271 (1/2)
”It's a long story.»
Tsunade shook her head and involuntarily sighed.
Sakumo's words brought back memories of the past years.
Even now, she felt a certain shock as she recalled what had happened over the years.
The story of Yeruashi's ascent is like a myth. From becoming Orochimaru's disciple to first appearing on the battlefield, from becoming her disciple to study Ireninjutsu, to killing the Third Raikage and then Hanzo Salamander, Yeruashi ascended step by step to the top of the Shinobi world.
Phew!
At that moment, another figure appeared.
This was a short man with wrinkles on his face, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, by this time he had already got used to leaving the post of Hokage.
When Yeruashi became the Fifth Hokage, Hiruzen completely disappeared from the political arena of Konoha.
After several months of silence, he threw everything aside and started teaching classes at the Shinobi Academy.
Now Hiruzen has focused all his efforts on educating the younger generation of Konoha.
As he watched the people around him continue to move forward and realized his past mistakes, Hiruzen couldn't continue to sit still and also began to make every effort.
After all, he is the Third Hokage of Konoha.
”Sakumo...»
As he looked at Sakumo, a hint of guilt flickered in Hiruzen's eyes: ”Back then, I watched what was happening to you from the sidelines and didn't interfere, it's my fault, I've regretted it all these years...»
”Lord Hokage...»
Complex emotions flashed through Sakumo's eyes: ”No, it's all my fault. I am too weak and unqualified to be a shinobi, since what happened could make me give up my life.»
«...»
Hiruzen heaved a sigh, feeling strong emotions, and turned his head to look at Hashirama and Kurama fighting in the distance, ” This chakra and Mokuton...the elder Hashirama.»
To this point.
Kurama was already pinned to the ground by the wooden dragons and the huge golem. Although Yeruashi gave Kurama some of his senchakra, which allowed him to break the first wooden dragon, but Hashirama immediately created three more of the same.
Looking at this scene, Sakumo's expression darkened greatly: ”Even the Kyubi was suppressed, the First Hokage is too strong, Lord Third Hokage, the situation is becoming extremely dangerous.»
Hearing Sakumo's words, urging him to start immediately commanding the Shinobi of Konoha, Hiruzen shook his head and looked at Yeruashi: ”Ah, I am a simple pensioner, this should be done by the Fifth Hokage, now all over the world he is called the 'God of Shinobi', as well as the First Hokage.»
Hiruzen's words caused Sakumo to lose touch with reality.
He looked at Yeruashi with shock and disbelief.
God...Shinobi?!
If this phrase had not been uttered by Hiruzen, Sakumo would even have thought that the Konoha Shinobi were simply exaggerating. He was already very shocked that Yeruashi was able to become a Hokage at the age of nineteen, how could he even get the title that was held by the legendary Senju Hashirama from the past?
Tsunade noticed Sakumo's disbelieving gaze and nodded affirmatively, ” That's really true. Times have changed a lot, Senior Sakumo.»
”Lord Hokage.»
Shikaku's voice came from the side, he looked at the battle in the distance and said, ” This is not a battle that we can participate in, we can only watch your performance.»
The battle between Hashirama and Kurama was extremely loud and large-scale.
Most Shinobi felt a strong suffocation simply by feeling the pulse of the chakra. They knew that they would not be able to resist even the consequences of such a battle.
But.
Compared to the fear of this battle, Konoha Shinobi's faith in the Fifth Hokage was stronger!
The end of the Third Shinobi World War and the beginning of the unification of the Shinobi world were extremely grandiose events, allowing the Fifth Hokage to even surpass the legendary First Hokage, in the eyes of the Konoha Shinobi!
The strongest Hokage in history, standing at the top of the Shinobi world!
Looking at the back of the Fifth Hokage and his cloak gently fluttering in the wind, all the surrounding Shinobi felt an inexplicable calm.
Even if the gates to hell opened and the sky collapsed, they would be forced to retreat in front of this figure!
After hearing Shikaku's words and seeing the eyes of shinobi Konoha filled with respect and reverence, Sakumo was at a loss for a while.
