I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 634 To maintain dignity in old age, one must promptly clean up one's dark past.

"Just who is this Fourth Hokage? His medical ninjutsu is incredibly powerful!"

On the street, a young Konoha genin spoke to his team leader, a jonin. The jonin shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. I heard it's the Fourth Hokage from another timeline."

"But this medical ninjutsu is truly powerful. I'm afraid even Lady Tsunade couldn't have done it any better."

As he spoke, the slug that was attached to him channeled Tatsuma's Sage Chakra into his wound. With the adhesive effect of the slug's mucus, the wound healed completely in the blink of an eye.

In the distance, Tobirama Senju stood on a telephone pole, his crimson eyes twitching incessantly within their sockets, his ears seemingly twitching slightly, almost simultaneously monitoring and listening to the movements of the entire battlefield.

"Tsuna's medical ninjutsu seems quite impressive, but... where did she go?"

He was overjoyed and finally understood why the Fourth Hokage used Tsunade as evidence when emphasizing his expertise in medical ninjutsu. It seemed that Tsunade in this timeline had also won over the villagers with her medical ninjutsu.

However, Tobirama Senju was also puzzled. Even though he had only been resurrected by Edo Tensei for a short time, with his abilities, he had already roughly analyzed the situation.

Orochimaru, disguised as the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, led many Sunagakure ninja to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams. This Chunin Exams was an unparalleled event, but...

Why isn't Tsunade here? As a descendant of Hashirama Senju, Tsunade has no reason not to participate in such an important village event, unless she is dead.

However, judging from the discussions among the village ninjas and villagers, it's clear that Tsunade did not die, and even became one of the "famous" Legendary Sannin, with Orochimaru seemingly also being one of them.

But that's not all the strange things happened; there were more.

"Where are the Uchiha? Did they follow Madara's lead and defect? ​​They really are the evil Uchiha."

In such an important occasion and at such a critical moment, he couldn't even see a single ninja in a fan-shaped uniform with his Sharingan, which made Tobirama Senju have to think more deeply.

After all, the Uchiha clan's betrayal was not impossible; in fact, Tobirama Senju himself had witnessed it not just once, but twice.

Madara Uchiha once, Setsuna Uchiha once.

However, Madara Uchiha had his older brother with him that time, and Setsuna Uchiha had him with him that time. Could it be that after his death, the Uchiha rebelled again, and this time, they chose to leave the village?

How did Hiruzen become Hokage?! How could he allow such power to leak away from the village?!

It seems that what Orochimaru said about the village's decay under the flames of war was not just his personal nonsense, but that something bad had indeed happened in the village.

As expected, Hiruzen's talent was still lacking, and part of it was also his responsibility as a teacher, who hadn't yet properly trained his disciple before placing the heavy burden on his shoulders.

I simply didn't have any other choice back then.

"Thank you for your hard work, Fourth Generation."

The moment Tobirama Senju spoke, Tatsuma interrupted the medical ninjutsu he was using in conjunction with the slug. He rose from his seated position, looked at Tobirama Senju, who was standing not far away, remaining extremely vigilant, and said:

"As expected of the Second Generation Lord, your mastery of perception techniques far surpasses that of a junior like myself."

"Your senses are also quite good. There were a few civilian wounded that I didn't even sense, but you found them and saved them."

Tobirama Senju looked at Tatsuma and said approvingly, "Commoners are actually the hardest to perceive because they don't refine their chakra. The tiny amount of chakra that naturally condenses in their bodies is so little that it can be almost ignored."

Even with his wide-ranging perception, Tobirama Senju couldn't find every civilian's trace, but Tatsuma did manage to treat many unconscious wounded.

However, it is clear that Tatsuma and Hiruzen share the same weakness: a lack of constant vigilance and hypothetical hostility towards the outside world. After all, these younger generations may have participated in wars, but they have never lived or grown up in war.

Moreover, Tatsuma has already performed very well. As for the Hyuga ninjas who participated in the rescue, are their Byakugans charged by the hour? Under the flames of war, they dared not use their Byakugans the entire time.

You should know that during the Warring States period, if a Hyuga ninja dared to close his Byakugan on the battlefield, he would be scolded by his elders.

Compared to the Hyuga who have lost their fighting instincts, Tatsuma at least retains the capacity to perform defensive perception while focusing on his refined medical ninjutsu, guarding against potential dangers.

"It seems that the matter with the First Generation Lord has also come to an end."

Tatsuma looked in a certain direction. By this time, the wounded in the village had all been treated, while those who had not been treated by Tatsuma had already died before he could treat them.

Under the organization of the ninjas, the villagers retreated in an orderly manner to a spacious area. Although Hashirama Senju's Wood Release had covered almost the entire village, supporting the buildings that might collapse, the risk was still there.

"Thump~"

Tobirama Senju leaped down from the telephone pole, glanced back in the direction of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, and after confirming there were no other troubles, said to Tatsuma:

"Fourth Hokage, you should know Konoha of this era better than I do. Do you feel something is amiss?"

"There are no Uchiha, right? Second Hokage, I've read all your diaries."

Tatsuma smiled, and Tobirama Senju's serious expression froze for a moment before he said, "That was just a joke from my youth; it shouldn't be taken seriously."

"But the Uchiha have indeed disappeared from this village. No, there's still one, one and a half."

As he spoke, Tatsuma continued to gaze in the direction he had just been looking. Tobirama Senju also focused his senses slightly, nodded, and said, "It's still that nauseating chakra, and one of them even looks somewhat familiar."

After saying that, Tobirama Senju shook his head. How could he possibly feel familiar with an Uchiha from this era? It was probably just a misperception.

"First Hokage, has the Fourth Hokage really returned?"

In the distance, Kakashi, carrying the unconscious blond boy on his back, asked Hashirama Senju beside him, "Hmm, a very powerful ninja."

Kakashi nodded. His teacher, the Fourth Hokage of the village, was indeed a powerful ninja. But if it weren't for the Nine-Tails and that masked man, perhaps everything would have been different.

"Hey! It's over there!"

Hashirama Senju pointed forward, and two figures appeared almost simultaneously. Kakashi looked up, his eyes misting over.

"Old man, who are you? You're not the Fourth Hokage!"

Looking at the person that Hashirama Senju was pointing at, Kakashi suddenly became wary. Could this be another of Orochimaru's schemes, having someone impersonate the Fourth Hokage to gain the trust of the resurrected First and Second Hokage?

"Calm down, young man."

Tobirama Senju frowned and said, his stereotypes about this ninja with the Sharingan made him instinctively repulsed, "This is the Fourth Hokage, but not the Fourth Hokage of this timeline, and he is different from the Fourth Hokage you know."

Kakashi didn't immediately lower his guard. Tatsuma nodded at him and said, "It seems that no matter which timeline you're in, you don't really like me, Kakashi. By the way, my name is Sakamoto Tatsuma."

Still silent, Kakashi even tightened his embrace around Naruto, drawing upon his already limited chakra. Tatsuma, his gaze now fixed on Naruto, said:

"Is this Minato's child? He was a bit older when I last saw him."

Upon hearing Tatsuma reveal Naruto's past, Kakashi glanced nervously behind him, not at Naruto on his back, but at Sasuke and Sakura following behind.

But the two of them looked up, seemingly puzzled.

"Concentrating chakra into a wall allows sound to coalesce and the vocal path to become controllable. Not a bad idea, young man. There's no need to worry about others hearing you."

Tobirama Senju spoke, bringing Kakashi back to his senses. Hashirama Senju scratched his head and asked, "Why are you two just talking without saying a word?"

"Because it's a confidential secret that can't be disclosed, right?"

As Tobirama explained to his brother, Hashirama's mood sombered. He said, "Tobirama, there's something you can't tell me, huh?"

Sasuke and Sakura: Is this really the First Hokage who founded Konoha?

Seeing his elder brother so humiliated in front of the younger generation, Tobirama Senju felt his head spinning. How could he smooth things over? Should he say that his elder brother was too old and senile? No, that would also damage his image.

Tatsuma ignored Hashirama Senju's eccentric behavior and glanced at Tobirama Senju with surprise. Not only had Tobirama seen through his techniques in a single glance, but he had also completely copied and skillfully applied them.

So, Second Hokage, those red pupils of yours are actually Sharingan with hidden tomoe colors, right?

"So, can I really trust you?"

Kakashi brought up the topic again, and Tatsuma thought for a moment before saying, "Loulan."

"Loulan?"

This word made Kakashi frown. He seemed to have been here on a mission many years ago. What happened back then? He couldn't remember.

However, it seems that only he, his teacher, Shimi Aburame, Choza Akimichi, and the Third Generation knew about this mission, and this "Fourth Generation" in front of him also knew.

For some inexplicable reason, Kakashi lowered his hostility considerably, and Tatsuma added, "Also, I'm not interested in the Nine-Tails' chakra, because I have it myself."

As he spoke, he spread his hands, and orange-red chakra condensed in his palm. The violent texture made Kakashi believe that it was the Nine-Tails' chakra. At this moment, Naruto on his back also moved.

"Naruto?"

"It's the Nine-Tailed Fox."

In a flash, Tatsuma, who was just a few meters away, suddenly appeared in front of him. Most importantly, Tatsuma's hand was already on Naruto's forehead.

"you!"

As Kakashi retreated, he freed his right hand, and a ball of lightning condensed in his palm.

"Rude young man."

Tobirama Senju frowned and said, "The Fourth Hokage only helped this child suppress the rampaging Nine-Tails chakra."

"Huh? This?"

Kakashi noticed that Naruto had fallen asleep again, which made him a little embarrassed. Tatsuma waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind, then looked at Hashirama Senju and asked:

"By the way, First Hokage, you must have just encountered the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, right? Why didn't you bring him back?"

"Huh? This?"

Hashirama Senju scratched his head. Tobirama Senju, sensing something was wrong, asked, "Anima, you didn't... let the enemy go again, did you?"

"What can I do? He was just a kid who got tricked; he's already learned his lesson."

"And what about you? Have you forgotten the lesson?"

Tobirama Senju said with exasperation that his older brother always did such things. Hashirama Senju looked aggrieved, having been scolded by his younger brother again.

After taking several deep breaths, Tobirama Senju finally suppressed his anger, looked at Kakashi, and said, "Bring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and that Uchiha too, come with me."

"Yes, Second Hokage."

Kakashi gave Sasuke a look, and Sasuke nodded. Sakura asked疑惑地问道, "What about me?"

No one could answer her questions; she could only watch her teachers, companions, and the highly respected Hokage walk away.

"Damn it! I'll definitely catch up to you guys in the future! And earn the Hokage's respect!"
