The sharp shards of tile tore through his aged skin, and the First Generation's monstrous strength caused half of his face to go numb instantly.
But the pain these sensations caused him were nothing compared to the words deeply ingrained in his mind:
I'm very disappointed in you.
These heartfelt words, spoken by the person he respected most, made him feel as if he had fallen into an abyss, even though he was living in the present world.
Helplessness, resentment, and a tearing pain in my heart.
This made him feel wronged and pained, like a child who had been wronged by his favorite teacher.
Witnessing this scene, Ara also shifted his gaze from Hiruzen Sarutobi's disheveled state and instead focused on the Second Hokage, who seemed to have lost his voice and given up struggling.
At this moment, having witnessed what had just happened, the cruel and sinister smile on his lips became clearer and more undisguised.
Even at this moment, Tobirama Senju sensed something amiss in the hateful man's smile and began to recall and ponder Hiruzen Sarutobi's aggrieved cry.
But these thoughts were gradually swallowed up by the words of this evil race member in the next second:
"Hey, do you want to see it?"
"In that dark laboratory, there were the painful cries of the Senju clan, the blood and bone fragments that gushed out as the petrified flesh pierced through their bodies, the desperate pleas of the test subjects to the Third Hokage, their painful calls to the First Hokage, and their hatred and loathing for you."
Those bloody words, those vivid descriptions of the past, even though Tobirama Senju didn't witness them with his own eyes.
But at this moment, the scene of hell on earth couldn't help but appear in his mind.
In an instant, this once arrogant and domineering powerhouse actually hesitated, subtly avoiding the other's gaze!
"I'll show you."
"You must really want to see it!"
“All of these things are in my sight.”
Ara crouched down, his pliers-like hand easily gripping Tobirama Senju's visibly trembling jaw, and then turned his gaze toward him.
The next instant, an illusion was constructed.
The descendants of the Thousand Hands, who were pierced by the petrification, and the newborns who were still young but sealed in nutrient tanks, were all presented to the Second Generation.
Huang did not embellish the already bloody scenes, nor did he make any superficial representation of these sealed historical facts.
It was just that a few more desperate pleas for help and curses were added.
[Help me, help me, someone please save me, save the Thousand Hands of the Forest!]
[Lord Hokage, please spare me! Please spare us! This experiment is just causing unnecessary casualties!]
Lord Hashirama, please save the Senju clan! Please protect the Senju of the Forest!
[Damn Tobirama Senju, damn Tobirama Senju, damn traitor to the clan!!]
At the edge of the screen, amidst the countless descendants of the Thousand Hands attempting to reach their palms into the shadowy corner, the Second Generation saw a young, aloof figure standing alone.
Indeed, it was his student, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Yet, under the light and shadow, gazing upon this hell on earth, his face remained completely unmoved.
He merely gave cold commands, saying:
【continue. 】
"Remember this well, you absolutely must remember it well, and you must not forget it even when you get down there."
"The one who single-handedly brought about the destruction of the Senju clan was none other than you, Tobirama Senju!"
"You are the one who made them lose the bonds that brought them closer together, you are the one who made them give up their former glory and become ordinary ninjas who could be slaughtered at will, you are the one who chose the third Hokage and personally created this hell."
"It's not just them, it's not just your people."
"Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and all your former disciples have either died or defected under the Third Hokage's torment."
"Otherwise, why haven't those guys shown up yet?"
"All of this is your fault."
Tobirama Senju's pupils contracted continuously, and his pained expression was no longer concealed.
Even murmured echoes escaped from her trembling lips:
"All of this is my fault."
As he spoke, the pain and regret on his face became even more pronounced, completely destroying his innate arrogance.
But at that very moment, the pain on Tobirama Senju's face disappeared, and the blankness in his eyes was completely discarded!
The sudden gust of wind came from afar and slammed hard into the spot where Huang was crouching.
However, this powerful blow shattered only a phantom, while the real entity slowly materialized in a more distant location.
[Secret Technique: Mirror Flower, Water Moon!]
After glancing at Hashirama Senju, who was standing in his place, Ara looked at the effeminate man standing beside the two coffins.
Such a crude and direct attack was clearly not from the real First Generation, but rather from that stinking snake whose stance has always been unclear.
"What do you want to do, you stinking snake?"
He spoke coldly, his words filled with arrogance and disdain.
Those who only engage in petty tricks like sneak attacks and alliances will never amount to anything.
"Old man, are you so old that you can't even stand up anymore?"
"If we continue climbing, then the entire Hidden Leaf Village will be handed over to the Uchiha."
Orochimaru did not directly answer Ara's question, but instead used provocation to challenge his former teacher.
In fact, this cunning fellow, who was used to lurking in the shadows, did not want to reveal his true intentions so directly and confront that person head-on.
However, the changes in the situation were completely different from the established development direction.
He originally thought that he could weaken Uchiha Ara's fighting power by using Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand, but the Third Hokage's sudden compromise forced him to unseal the two former Hokage in order to catalyze the continuation of the struggle.
After all, those who know the dark side of Konoha are well aware that the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the Uchiha clan have irreconcilable conflicts.
Whether it was Madara Uchiha leaving the village initially, or the various events Konoha subsequently inflicted on the Uchiha clan, his shadow or will was always present.
To his utter surprise, this key figure, who was supposed to be the one to escalate the conflict, now appeared so distraught.
As things increasingly deviated from their intended course, Orochimaru was once again forced to become the disruptor.
Of course, he had considered continuing with the original plan:
Together with Uchiha Ara, they eliminated the Third Hokage and then destroyed the village.
Furthermore, since he had already placed a cursed seal on Uchiha Sasuke in the 44th Trial Ground, planting the seed for his own reincarnation, this operation already had a good safety net.
Furthermore, the strength displayed by Uchiha Ara can only be described as unfathomable.
Even if I team up with the old man, I might not necessarily come out on top.
However, every time he looked at this guy, the desire that had been suppressed in his heart would erupt like a volcano, surging out uncontrollably.
Because Orochimaru knew perfectly well that this was truly his only chance!
Fortune favors the bold; you can't get what you don't take risks for!
Ultimately, such obsession suppressed all his inner composure and fear, and madness surged forth!
He wanted that stronger body as the vessel for his reincarnation!
"I want to protect your beloved Konoha."
"I want to explain this to your two teachers."
"Then, get up quickly."
Orochimaru once again provoked the Third Hokage, who had already lost most of his strength, saying that his newly devised plan could not be separated from the other party's power.
After all, this person was hailed as the strongest Hokage in history, and his research and planning on the Uchiha clan were far more profound.
In addition, there were two legendary ninjas that he summoned.
There would be no reason for them to lose!
Moreover, this is Konoha.
As one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, he knew best what was going to happen next.
All the clans, all the ninjas, and even that toad, will come over after settling the ordinary civilians.
At that time, the Uchiha clan alone, along with those hundred Sand Village ninjas, would not be able to make any waves under such an siege.
Even if you add that guy Guren and that monster from Sunagakure, the result will be the same.
Once the Uchiha clan members are captured, and once the situation changes, how can that guy still muster 100% of his strength to fight against me?
Undoubtedly, the best outcome of this operation would be for Konoha to also be reduced to ruins in this clash.
He will be the biggest beneficiary of this plan!
"Oh?"
"Is this what you call cooperation?"
"It seems I'll have to take Sasuke back myself."
Seeing that stinky snake repeatedly ignore his existence, Ara's eyes revealed a hint of irony.
Fortunately, he had already realized that this guy was not a partner that could be easily trusted.
If they can betray Sunagakure, then they can certainly betray themselves.
Previously, the coffin with the clearly engraved number "four" contained the poor fourth generation, Kaze Rasa.
In order to expand the influence and power of Sunagakure, they trusted the person they should have trusted the least.
“Well, it seems we haven’t formally discussed cooperation before.”
"Besides, this is my most respected teacher!"
"The price you've paid is far from enough to take his life."
"After all, Uchiha Sasuke is nothing more than a dispensable pawn to you."
Sensing the hostility emanating from the boy, Orochimaru had no choice but to look him in the eye.
