Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Hashirama was sent flying by a punch, crashing through the wall and falling outside the Hokage's office.

The shattered walls and the people falling out immediately attracted the attention of everyone nearby. A series of whooshing sounds rang out as a group of ninjas appeared near the Hokage Building—including ANBU ninjas and ordinary ninjas…

"Oops!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in surprise. He could already guess what would happen next: the First Hokage of Konoha would be ganged up on by Konoha ninjas...

If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal, but Tsunade was among those involved in the beating!

What an incredible act of filial piety!

With that in mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to get involved and stop Tsunade from fighting the First Hokage...

Seeing the Third Hokage rushing towards Tsunade, Fugaku Uchiha pondered for a moment before deciding to stop the other ninjas from approaching the area.

"Mikoto, be careful to protect yourself when the fight breaks out."

With that, Fugaku Uchiha charged toward the Konoha ninjas. His Mangekyou Sharingan began to rotate slowly, and a surge of ocular power erupted from his eyes. Crimson bones appeared around his body, protecting him.

"Whoa~ It's Susanoo!"

Madara Uchiha stood with his arms crossed at the broken part of the wall, watching the battle below with great interest.

Not daring to take Tsunade's attack head-on, and without retaliating, Hiruzen Sarutobi dodged with all his might, looking somewhat disheveled.

Hashirama was surrounded by Konoha ninja. Since the battle was taking place near the Hokage Building, the Konoha ninja did not use highly destructive ninjutsu, but instead chose to fight him with taijutsu...

Unfortunately, Hashirama's taijutsu was very strong. Ordinary ninjas would not be able to last two rounds against him. With the sound of "bang bang bang", one Konoha ninja after another was knocked away.

On the other side, protected by several ribs, Fugaku Uchiha was using a powerful genjutsu, causing one ninja after another to fall into a coma. Only a few elite Jonin were able to withstand the genjutsu.

At the top of the Hokage Building, Tobirama stood on the edge of the rooftop, arms crossed, scrutinizing the Konoha ninja with a critical eye and offering his assessment.

"Not bad to be able to withstand seven moves from your elder brother."

"It can resist the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan, that's good."

"You were able to exchange punches with my brother several times, that's pretty impressive!"

"How dare you look directly at the Mangekyou Sharingan? What an idiot!"

"To actually use Fire Release right next to the Hokage Building, what an idiot!"

Tobirama's tone grew increasingly agitated; one foolish move after another fueled his rage...

As Mikoto Uchiha watched the Konoha ninjas arriving one after another, a sense of worry rose in her heart.

At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi deactivated his transformation jutsu and explained the whole story: "Tsunade, listen to me, I really am Hiruzen Sarutobi. Someone resurrected me for some purpose..."

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish speaking, Tsunade threw a punch. The violent force of the punch severed a few strands of white hair from Hiruzen Sarutobi's forehead, startling him so much that a few drops of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

"Do you think I'm a fool?! Who would believe such an absurd reason?!"

Tsunade unleashed a furious combo, the violent force of her punches seemingly tearing Hiruzen Sarutobi apart.

"They really showed no mercy whatsoever!"

Under Tsunade's relentless attacks, Hiruzen Sarutobi performed a series of difficult maneuvers, desperately trying to dodge, and he could almost hear a "crackling" sound in his ears.

His back can't take any more strain!

'Looks like I need to find some help...'

Thinking this, Hiruzen Sarutobi made a decisive move, using the Body Flicker Technique to create distance, and then used the Summoning Technique to summon the Monkey King, Enma.

With a loud "bang," white smoke billowed out as Tsunade punched the newly arrived Enma. The collision produced a dull thud, and Enma shot out like a cannonball, smashing everything in its path. Fragments and mud were whipped up by the strong wind, forming an oval-shaped passage, with mud and sand filling the surrounding area...

'How miserable~'

Although Enma is very resilient, taking a punch from Tsunade without any preparation means he will almost certainly be injured...

but--

As mentioned before, Enma is very resilient. Even if he is hit by Tsunade's full-force attack without any warning, he will not lose his ability to move and will at least survive.

"Wow..."

Having crashed into the Fire Shadow Rock and been buried under the collapsed rubble, the Ape Demon pushed aside the debris, clutched his broken left arm, and stood up, his monkey face showing lingering fear.

Luckily, he was prepared for battle when he realized he had been summoned; otherwise, what awaited him wouldn't have been a broken left arm, but rather...

Thinking of this, the ape demon's thoughts abruptly stopped. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to join the battlefield without any preparation, but he was certain that his fate would be terrible...

"Where are you watching the show?! Come help me!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was dodging in a disheveled manner, saw that Enma was standing there in a daze. He was so angry that his beard trembled and he roared angrily, startling Enma out of his reverie.

After regaining his senses, the Enma observed carefully for a moment and suddenly realized that the two fighting were Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade...

His limited brain suddenly went blank. If I remember correctly, that old geezer Hiruzen Sarutobi seems to have already…

But apart from him, it seems no one else has the ability to summon me. Could it be... that he's alive again?!

"...What are you standing there for! Come help me!"

Seeing that the Monkey King was still standing still, Hiruzen Sarutobi was so angry that he wanted to hit him...

"Here we go~ here we go~"

"You're getting on in years~ Don't be so short-tempered!"

The ape demon smiled happily, after all, it was a reunion with an old friend.

As a summoning beast, it would be impossible for it to mistake its contractor, since the number of people who contract with a summoning beast is generally very small.

There is only one person who can command him, the Monkey King: the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Therefore, he was certain that the person in front of him was Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Ape Demon!"

Dodging Tsunade's punch, Hiruzen Sarutobi extended his right hand. The running Enma suddenly leaped up, its body transforming in mid-air, instantly becoming a staff that spun and flew into Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.

Holding a staff that was gold at both ends and black in the middle, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood ready, staring intently at Tsunade.

With his exclusive weapon at hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi was confident he could stall for a few more minutes.

The two continued their fight. The staff, known as the "Diamond Staff," could change size at will, extend and retract freely, and possessed extraordinary hardness. Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's control, it disrupted Tsunade's attack rhythm, reversing her previous disadvantage and turning the situation into a stalemate...

After a fierce battle, Tsunade punched the Vajra Staff, smashing it into a U-shape. The face of the Monkey King appeared at one end of the staff, his expression quite distorted, as if he was about to vomit his dinner at the next second.

Boom——

The Vajra Staff suddenly straightened, and Tsunade took a few steps back to dissipate the force of the impact, while Hiruzen Sarutobi staggered backward and almost fell.

Although I used force-dissipating techniques, but...

Tsunade's strength was truly outrageous; it was impossible to completely deflect all the force using only force-dissipating techniques.

Seeing the disheveled Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade's expression gradually became subtle. Based on the feeling of the fight just now and the sensation of the summoned beast hitting him, she had a guess about the identity of the person in front of her, and she immediately thought it was outrageous.

At the same time, a slight flutter of excitement and a hint of longing emerged in my heart.

"Old man, how did you survive?"

With a few blinks, Tsunade arrived next to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said directly.

"I already told you before, he was resurrected by someone."

Seeing Tsunade confirm that he was real, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief. Any longer and his old bones would have fallen apart!

"Is that so..." Tsunade nodded slightly, then suddenly paused, recalling the conversation from a few minutes earlier. Her gaze fell on Hashirama, who was single-handedly beating up a group of people, and her expression gradually became subtle...

"Hey! Old man, don't tell me..."

Before Tsunade could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, indicating that she guessed correctly: "It's the person you're thinking of..."

"Oh~" Tsunade's expression was quite calm. She knew her great-grandfather's personality and that he wouldn't care about her earlier surprise punch.

"What about the others?"

"It's the teacher, Uchiha Madara, Fugaku, Mikoto, Kushina, Minato..."

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi mention the names, Tsunade clicked her tongue in amazement and exclaimed, "They're all familiar faces!"

"There are also people who aren't acquaintances, but they didn't come to Konoha."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow: "Judging from your tone... quite a few people have been resurrected?"

“Quite a lot.” Hiruzen Sarutobi didn’t give a detailed number, but provided some other information: “I can only tell you that most of the people who were resurrected are very famous people in the history of the ninja world.”

"Are you trying to glorify yourself?!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened immediately. Although he understood that Tsunade was deliberately trying to provoke him, he was still very angry!

"Tell me more information." Without giving Hiruzen Sarutobi a chance to refute, Tsunade directly changed the subject.

"No," Hiruzen Sarutobi said irritably. "Since they dare to let us move around freely, they must have ways to restrict us. I can't disclose the details..."

"Is that so..." Tsunade nodded slightly, indicating her understanding.

"Root" actually has similar methods to restrict people from revealing information.

"Say everything you can."

As she said this, Tsunade turned to look at the other ninjas, some of whom had come after her out of concern for her safety.

"Go tell the others that these people are not the enemy, and the battle is over."

"Yes," the three middle-aged ninjas replied and disappeared in a flash.

The others remained by Tsunade's side, watching Hiruzen Sarutobi with somewhat strange looks...

Chapter 253 Danzo's Decision

Is he really the Third Hokage?!

The same question arose in the minds of everyone present, and their emotions were quite complex, a mixture of joy and sorrow...

If it's true, does that mean there's a way to revive him? If it's false, impersonating the Hokage is a very serious crime...

"Come with me, old man, let's talk this out in the office..."

Tsunade didn't bother to explain further. She turned to face the Hokage Building, and just as she was about to take a step, she suddenly froze. The Hokage's office, with its broken walls, came into view.

'It doesn't seem appropriate to discuss serious matters here; let's find another place.'
