Pirate: I'm cracked, but my mutation talent is incredibly strong.

"Did you come here to dominate the ninja world?"

Hashirama Senju's tone suddenly became somewhat strained, his dark eyes filled with a sense of powerlessness.

Let's not even talk about whether we could defeat a 10,000-meter-long black dragon while we're alive.

The body he's resurrected with is now less than 30% of his former strength, and he's still being controlled by Orochimaru.

What can he do?

What can he use to save Konoha?

"Young master, do you want to become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha?"

"With your strength, you are perfectly capable of becoming the Kage of the strongest hidden village in the ninja world!"

Tobirama Senju's mind raced. Since he couldn't beat them, he decided to join them!

Back then, so many ninja clans only joined Konoha because they couldn't defeat the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, and the Asura of Shinobi, Madara Uchiha.

Since the other world is so powerful, why not just join it? That would reduce a lot of casualties.

Maybe they can even latch onto an even stronger leader!

What if these guys Orochimaru called "divine children" destroy Konoha and become the Kage of other hidden villages? Wouldn't Konoha have died in vain?

In order to survive, strategically yielding and joining forces when you can't win is a perfectly normal thing to do!

If they can be called divine children, then their fathers may truly be gods.

"That's right! Great God, I beg you to become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha and not harm your villagers."

Hashirama Senju inwardly praised his quick-thinking younger brother and immediately spoke to Kamui.

If he weren't currently being controlled by Orochimaru, he would have wanted to give Kamui a deep bow.

He's capable of anything for Konoha.

Back at the first Five Kage Summit, didn't he kneel down to the other Kage for the sake of peace?

How can personal honor or disgrace compare to the peace of the ninja world?

"The First Hokage! The Second Hokage! The Fourth Hokage died long ago!"

Orochimaru's lips twitched slightly as he watched the two Hokage beg Kamui to become the Fourth Hokage, and he almost laughed.

Even Sasuke Uchiha, the second son of the sage, almost burst out laughing.

"What?!"

"The Fourth Hokage is dead? How did he die?"

"Isn't the monkey still the Third Hokage? How come the Fourth Hokage is gone?!"

The Senju brothers, Hashirama and Tobirama, were somewhat taken aback. Only then did they realize what was happening and glance at the Hokage Rock.

There is indeed a young statue above.

"I heard they perished together with the Nine-Tails..."

Sasuke Uchiha spoke calmly, glancing at Naruto, who was in the midst of a fierce battle in his tailed beast form.

This loser is actually the son of the Fourth Hokage.

"To perish together with the Nine-Tails?"

"Isn't defeating the Nine-Tails something anyone can do?"

Hashirama Senju could hardly believe what he was hearing.

Was the Fourth Hokage really that weak?

Even if we fight one of the nine tails, we'll all perish together!

Back then, he captured all the tailed beasts and distributed them to various hidden villages.

Orochimaru was somewhat speechless.

"The Fourth Hokage did indeed use his life to activate the Reaper Death Seal, sealing the rampaging Nine-Tails."

"The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, regained power and returned to the throne after the death of the Fourth Hokage."

"He also seized all the assets and businesses of the Fourth Hokage and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki..."

"He and Danzo even secretly spread rumors that the Fourth Hokage's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was a demon fox, isolating and controlling him, causing the Fourth Hokage's son to grow up alone and miserable, hated by the villagers, and unable to even get a full meal..."

Orochimaru continued to criticize Hiruzen Sarutobi, that treacherous and unjust teacher.

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Hashirama Senju instantly flew into a rage, while Tobirama Senju's face darkened even further...

Even Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened in surprise; he hadn't expected that the loser had such a past.

Suddenly, he felt that Naruto, that annoying guy, was just as pitiful as he was.

He felt a sense of shared misfortune towards this bottom-of-the-barrel man.

"By the way, Tsunade actually had the opportunity to become the Fourth or Fifth Hokage, but her younger brother Nawaki and her boyfriend Dan Kato both died unexpectedly, forcing her to leave Konoha."

"As Nawaki's teacher and Tsunade's teammate, I know that their deaths were not simple."

"But Hiruzen Sarutobi controlled Konoha for decades, raising hundreds, even thousands, of ninjas from the Sarutobi clan..."

Orochimaru continued to embellish the story, regardless of whether Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were involved or not; he just wanted to pin the blame on them first.

He wanted to make Hiruzen Sarutobi betray everyone, be utterly disgraced, and ruin his reputation!

Just like when he escaped from Konoha, he went from being a heroic Sannin of Konoha and a candidate for the Fourth Hokage to a human experimentation demon hated by everyone.

He wanted Hiruzen Sarutobi to experience this feeling too.

If Danzo hadn't already died, he would have continued to criticize Danzo.

Of course, Danzo himself was a villain; even if you don't criticize him, he was still a ruthless and power-hungry old thief who would do anything.

Now that Danzo has been killed, Orochimaru took the opportunity to pin all the dark deeds Danzo had done on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Anyway, those two old bastards are in cahoots, one in the underworld and one in the legitimate world, protecting each other; neither of them are good people.

"You mean they killed my grandson? And Tsunade was forced to leave Konoha too?"

Even though Hashirama Senju had a good temper, he was furious at this moment, and his chakra was exploding wildly.

It almost knocked Orochimaru's control talisman away.

Although Tobirama Senju didn't entirely believe Orochimaru's words, he clenched his fists when it came to Nawaki and Tsunade.

He was more inclined to believe Hiruzen Sarutobi, his student.

However, as Orochimaru said, it is very unreasonable for the monkey to step down from the position of Third Hokage and then return to power.

Why not choose the Fifth Hokage?

Most importantly, there were indeed quite a lot of Sarutobi ninja.

This forced him to believe most of the facts Orochimaru told him.

"Orochimaru, release me! I want to ask him myself!"

If what Orochimaru said is true, Hashirama Senju would not be able to resist killing Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His beloved grandson and granddaughter are living such miserable lives, one is dead and the other has run away!

Uchiha Sasuke listened intently to these Konoha secrets, while even Kamui watched with great interest as these guys tore each other apart.

What a spectacular show! It was as captivating as watching a political intrigue drama.

"Let us go!"

Tobirama Senju also looked coldly at his grand-disciple, but now he was filled with doubt and coldness towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Nawaki's death is a fact, Tsunade's departure is a fact, Sarutobi's lust for power is a fact, and the Sarutobi clan's ninja numbers have surged—these are all facts...

So many facts all point to one truth.

Tobirama Senju couldn't believe that the honest, selfless monkey he once was had become such a power-hungry old thief.

"Hehe, I really want to let you go too."

"But I'm worried that you'll ruin the battle between Mikoto and Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"I don't want to offend the Three Gods, after all, this God has a very bad temper."

"Unless you can persuade the Great God..."

"Now, the Great God is the master of this battlefield."

Orochimaru still didn't make a move. Instead, he respectfully looked at Kamui and handed over the decision-making power to Kamui, who was watching the show from the sidelines.

This was both a way to avoid offending Katakuri and a way to subtly praise Kamui, the new boss he followed.

He was waiting for Kamui to take him to another world so he could explore new power systems and methods of immortality.
