Apart from the rubble crushed by the chakra aura, there was no trace of the other party's existence.

No, that's not right!

Senju Tobirama's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a kunai that was almost suspended in mid-air.

The next second, a calloused hand suddenly took over the ninja tool, and then a familiar figure appeared instantly.

Then, he felt a tremendous force lashing his back.

"Boom boom boom!"

The stiffness of his body, which was far inferior to that of his life, and the immense, uncontrollable force, caused him to tumble helplessly onto the roof of the main grandstand.

Before Tobirama Senju could regain his footing and organize his attack, the ghostly figure reappeared above him and stomped down hard.

"Boom."

An energy circle then spread out in all directions.

This once-powerful figure was thus crushed underfoot by Huang Si.

This is a combination of the Flying Thunder God Technique, improved by the Fourth Hokage, and Shisui's Body Flicker Technique.

It is a form of absolute control over a given space!

"Oh?"

"Is it because you felt humiliated after hearing about the crimes committed by your successor being exposed to Hashirama-senpai that you couldn't wait to use force to silence him?"

"The second generation."

They are vengeful and will retaliate against any insult.

Chapter 545 The once mighty Senju of the Forest is now nothing more than a dog under the Third Hokage.

Hearing the sarcasm derived from his own words, Tobirama Senju felt no anger or shame.

It's not just because he's at a level where he's already able to remain unmoved by external gains or losses, but also because what he says is all true!

The Uchiha clan is inherently evil; this is an indelible fact!

The only thing that makes him feel resentful right now is that his secret techniques have been stolen by the descendants of this clan, and he has been ruthlessly trampled underfoot.

After all, with his eyesight, even a fleeting glance would be enough to notice that the technique on the hilt of that kunai was extremely similar to the technique of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the principles of the techniques were also very similar!

"I never imagined that such an evil clan would still be so fond of copying other people's ninjutsu."

The Second Hokage, having failed to break free, coldly mocked.

This seemingly young man possessed the immense power of a mountain hidden within him, which held him firmly to the ground.

Of course, the most important reason is that the body itself is too stiff and too weak, making it impossible for him to unleash any greater power.

Ultimately, the Impure World Reincarnation technique was merely a wicked forbidden jutsu hastily created to cope with the war, and it was immediately sealed away after the war, without undergoing any further optimization.

"copy?"

"So, this is a ninjutsu that can be easily copied with the Sharingan?"

"You've been buried in the ground for decades, don't you even have this much common sense?"

Ara looked at the second-generation leader, whom he had trampled under his feet, with utter contempt.

It's hard to connect Tobirama Senju with that powerful being who developed countless forbidden techniques.

"That sealed book was only allowed to be taken out by your successor in order to further win the heart of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Using something that is taboo to the entire village to indirectly isolate and win over someone, I really don't know whether to describe your lineage as having guts or just not taking forbidden arts seriously."

"However, it is worth it to exchange a sealing book that not everyone can learn for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's obedience."

"Just like how the Senju clan, who were useless and had no one to protect them, were sacrificed in order to obtain Wood Release."

He went on to add, the sarcasm in his words becoming increasingly clear.

Even the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, failed to speak at that moment.

His mind was already chaotic enough; he had been forcibly bombarded with far too many messages.

He wanted to gain time to think and digest the information, but instead he was bombarded with even more information, and even his trust in Hiruzen Sarutobi began to waver.

From an objective and rational perspective, whether it's replicating a powerful Wood Release ninja like the eldest brother or completely recruiting the Jinchuriki who possess the power of the Tailed Beasts for one's own use, it's something worth paying the price for.

Moreover, such benefits far outweigh those of the Senju clan, who possess no special talents, and the sealed book, which is almost impossible to circulate outside the village.

Isolate them, then win them back.

[Will he use such a heinous act as stealing the Book of Seals to incite even deeper hatred among the village's ninjas for the already vulnerable Jinchuriki, and then reveal himself to try and win them over?]

Is this really something you would do, you monkey?!

For a moment, Tobirama Senju, who was suppressed by Ara, actually began to have doubts and started to think further down the path of the person he had labeled as evil.

"If this counts as copying, then Hiruzen Sarutobi, in order to obtain the power of the Sharingan, deceived the trust of my clan's elders, wantonly slaughtered my clan's ninjas, and transplanted the eye that belonged only to my clan into his own comrades."

"And what is this all about?"

Ara looked down at the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, his voice not loud but deep and suppressed, and his bloodshot pupils looked just like those of a demon.

"Shimura Danzo,"

"You must be familiar with this name, right?"

"The Sharingan eyes transplanted onto his right arm and into his right eye socket are from my clan!"

Do you know why he didn't show up here?

"That's because he couldn't stand the endless lab rat experiments anymore, and he couldn't resist the power from the Hokage, so he chose to flee the village."

"By the way, the title of traitorous ninja was also bestowed upon you by your successor."

"I also have an arrest warrant here, do you want to see it?"

"I'll show you."

As they were speaking, a small booklet suddenly fell from his arms to the ground, landing right in front of Tobirama Senju.

This is a wanted list for Konoha's rogue ninjas, which should have contained information on all Konoha ninjas on the run.

However, this wanted list of rogue ninjas had obviously been torn by its owner, leaving only two pages. One of the pages had his former student, Danzo Shimura, pasted on it!

He was an excellent ninja with talent comparable to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But in the photo, he looks haggard and fierce, and you can't find the spirited feeling of wanting to become Hokage back then.

He looked more like a dejected and fierce old man.

And most importantly, as the evil clansman said, his right eye and right arm were wrapped in white bandages, as if they were hiding something!

While this doesn't prove that Hiruzen Sarutobi forcibly transplanted his Sharingan, it at least proves that he was indeed a rogue ninja wanted by Konoha.

But he was someone who desperately wanted to become Hokage!

The past flashed through Tobirama Senju's mind like a slideshow.

At this moment, no matter how much the third generation tried to deny it or explain, he could no longer hear it.

Because seeing is believing, if everything is a fabricated illusion.

If such a thing happened in Konoha, how could Shimura and Utatane, if they were still alive or still in the village, possibly stand idly by or not be present?

Even Orochimaru felt a chill run down his spine at this moment, and a sinister fear rose from the bottom of his heart.

If he hadn't been a witness to history and a participant in some secret experiments, he would have almost been fooled by such outrageous lies!

And the most terrifying thing about this lie is that it is based on facts!!

They lure the victims into the shady shop, induce them to sit down and spend money, and then carefully and gradually rip them off after closing the shop!

[Uchiha Ara]

Just how much evil lurks within your heart?!

Orochimaru's gaze grew increasingly solemn; he suddenly realized that he needed to be fully prepared mentally.

Should we still follow our pre-ordained plan and make it our hunting target?

If so, then the only opportunity I have left to take action is today.

And it can only succeed.

Otherwise, given the current situation, he could already fully imagine the retaliation he would face from the other party in the future!

That would be an even more difficult revenge than that of the Akatsuki!

“You mentioned my clan’s senior, Uchiha Kagami, earlier.”

"I didn't know his true fate."

"But what I do know is that he did not survive the Second Shinobi War."

"There are no remains either."

The sound rang in his ears again, causing Tobirama Senju to subconsciously pull his gaze away from the Konoha traitor wanted list and shift his eyes upwards, where he met the cold glint in the corner of the boy's eye.

Those utterly cold and malevolent eyes left no room for doubt or weakness.

The news that reached his ears caused his heart to tremble slightly once again.

He did not return to the village.

That obviously means one outcome: dying on the battlefield.

But at that time, he had already drawn away the main force of the Cloud Village pursuers.

At that time, the usurpers Kinkaku and Ginkaku had absolutely no reason to let themselves, as the Hokage, not pursue them with all their might, and instead be distracted by hunting a bunch of young lads.

But if it wasn't the pursuers from Kumogakure who caused Uchiha Kagami's death, then who was it?

In a daze, he caught a glimpse of Shimura's photo in the booklet next to him out of the corner of his eye.

Is that thing wrapped in white gauze and bandages really a Sharingan?

"A bunch of nonsense."

"What nonsense!"
