Such commotion naturally attracted the attention of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At this moment, panic finally crept onto his face. For the first time, he abandoned all his guard and turned to face his two teachers, attempting to explain everything himself.

Because both were very important to him, he did not want the misunderstanding to deepen further.

But faster than its reaction,

It is desolate.

Since the decision has been made to carry out this evil, there is absolutely no reason to stop.

Hidden deep within Sarutobi's heart are his two teachers, so let's tear off that scale first!

"You think this is the end of it?"

"No, this is only the beginning."

"After all, compared to gaining a powerful ninja who can use Wood Release ninjutsu like the First Hokage, sacrificing some Senju ninjas who don't have any special talents is a completely worthwhile exchange."

"Moreover, this is an order from the Hokage."

"Many Senju clan ninjas chose to accept this mission with feelings of 'gratitude' and 'honor'."

"But who knew that this was a one-way street to satisfy someone's selfish desires?"

Huang's wording gradually became more cautious and malicious, and the sarcasm at the corners of his mouth became increasingly undisguised.

"The third and fourth experiments continued."

"But the final result was exactly the same as before."

"The experimental subjects that underwent transplantation of Hashira's predecessor cells all lignified and died."

"However, after several experiments, we finally achieved some results on countless corpses."

"Those Senju clan ninjas no longer die immediately after having Hashirama's cells transplanted, but instead have a brief period of time to send out a distress call and call out Hashirama's name."

"Then, sharp wooden forks will burst out and tear from various parts of the body, such as the brain, arms, and chest."

The description of the wilderness is not detailed.

However, more vivid and bloody images involuntarily surfaced in Hashirama Senju's mind, as if he could hear the helpless cries of his clansmen.

These senseless sacrifices were all caused by his students' attempt to replicate his power!

He has an inescapable sin.

"An evil race."

"Shut up!"

Standing behind the former, Tobirama Senju was clearly also aware of his elder brother's strange behavior and the evil man's tendency to continue speaking.

So he decisively shouted to stop him, and even tried to erase the remaining demon.

But the person in front of him blocked him once again.

Tobirama's every move was completely observed and suppressed by his older brother.

"You go on."

A suppressed voice, carrying a deep, piercing pain, burst forth from Hashirama Senju.

This stemmed from his own sins, and he wanted to hear it with his own ears, word by word.

"Sama Shodaime..."

Sensing that his teacher was becoming increasingly strange, Hiruzen Sarutobi was eager to offer his own explanation.

"Are you saying that what Uchiha Ara said about the past is all false and fabricated?"

Hashirama Senju looked at Sarutobi, who was eager to explain, and saw an emotion in his eyes that Sarutobi had never seen before.

It was a distinct emotion called hatred.

Compared to Tobirama Senju's absolute rationality, Hashirama Senju possessed an absolute sensibility that enabled him to understand and embrace all things.

The hatred that arose here was mostly not directed at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Because he clearly knew that the monkey's fundamental purpose in doing this was to ensure that Konoha would remain prosperous and powerful.

The mistake was that he had once possessed such great power.

A force that future generations can never forget or relinquish.

"No, it's not."

Looking into his former teacher's eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi's attempts to refute or explain himself were futile.

He simply couldn't bring himself to verbally deceive the two people in front of him.

However, while giving this answer, he also clearly saw the disappointment in Lord Hashirama's eyes.

Do not,

Not only Hashirama-sama, but Tobirama-sama as well!

A sense of regret began to creep into my heart.

At the same time, this is precisely the decisive factor that allows Huang to arbitrarily unleash malice.

"evil?"

"Then you can continue listening."

He glanced coldly at Tobirama Senju, then suppressed the sneer on his lips and stated in a chilling voice:

"During this time, Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura, who were also involved in this top-secret operation, tried to stop this experiment that seemed to have no hope."

"However, no one can stop the Third Hokage's ambitions."

"Simply because he is the Hokage, and thus holds absolute power."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's barely rising frustration and dejection were instantly swept away.

This...this seems...not right!

Do you know what ultimately led to the temporary end of this experiment?

"Tobirama-senpai."

His voice gradually rose in pitch, and he turned the question back to the guy who had been defining himself as evil.

Even someone as rational as the Second Generation couldn't help but feel a sudden jolt in his heart.

It was this objective rationality that made him instantly think of a certain possibility.

"What brought this cruel experiment to an end was that the Thousand Hands Clan had no one left to use."

"No matter who it is, regardless of gender or age, as long as they are descendants of the Thousand Hands lineage, they are all stuffed into this bottomless experiment."

"Of course, it is still nominally all voluntary."

"After all, the powerful members of this family have all died long ago, and there is no one left to protect the elderly, women, and children!"

Ara stared intently at Tobirama Senju, his unwavering gaze revealing no trace of guilt.

And yet, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had recovered his senses, tried to explain, shouting, "That's not how it is!"

Because his confidence stems from:

"Just like when the Whirlpool Clan was wiped out, they stood by and watched."

"Just like when they wielded their swords to slaughter the Uchiha clan, leaving no one alive."

"He had already mastered these things after gaining power, let alone the Senju clan, who had no special talents but had inherited the bloodline of the 'God of Shinobi'?"

A lie supported by truth can instantly construct the truth!

"No, no, that's not it."

"This is not the truth!"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was over sixty years old, was speaking with the strain of a child.

But it is already late.

Even Hashirama Senju could no longer easily distinguish between what was real and what was fake.

He only acknowledged one fact:

In the present world,

The Uzumaki clan, with which it had forged an eternal alliance, was destroyed; the Senju clan, to which it belonged, was destroyed; and the Uchiha clan, with whom it had once jointly established this power, was barely surviving.

And all of this is related to his former students.

Furthermore, he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Simply because the other party is [Shadow]!

As the Hokage, how could all of this have escaped his notice?

but,

The descendants of the family who were unjustly branded with evil still did not want it to end there.

"The development experiments of Wood Release ninjas are not yet completely over."

These words alone caused both the grief-stricken Hashirama Senju and the mentally confused Tobirama Senju to tremble.

"enough."

"Shut up!"

The latter growl was not meant to prevent the truth from being revealed, but simply to buy time to sort through all the information.

He realized that he could not be simply indoctrinated or led by the nose by that inherently evil guy!

Most importantly, he still had a sliver of trust in his chosen successor.

With that low growl, Tobirama Senju vanished from his spot.

He launched an attack while his elder brother was grieving and distracted and unable to stop him.

This is the [Body Instantaneous Movement Technique!]

But when he arrived at the place where that despicable man had stood, he was shocked to find that it was now an empty, deserted place.
