I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 635 It's carefree to not want something yourself, but it's incredibly frustrating when others don't give it to you.

"Second Hokage, I also have some questions for Orochimaru, so... you know what I mean."

"I will spare his life during my interrogation."

Hearing their conversation, Orochimaru's lips twitched. These two were talking as if killing him was so easy! Wait? It really was easy? Well, never mind then.

Tobirama Senju looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who stood there like a lackey, not even knowing where to place his hands, and said, "Sarutobi, go call a meeting and bring over everyone responsible for this 'Konoha Crush Plan'!"

"Yes, teacher."

Having been assigned a task, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a little more relaxed. But as soon as he took a step, he realized that the person responsible was the one who deserved to be punished, and he was undoubtedly the first one to be punished!

In an instant, his mood plummeted again, but he knew he should bear the greatest responsibility. With that thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only bury his head and leave.

"Then, Second Hokage, while you're interrogating and investigating, shall I go and find you a Fifth Hokage?"

Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tatsuma was much more relaxed. Tobirama Senju looked at Tatsuma with satisfaction and approval, and nodded. This was the talent and composure that a Hokage should have.

With just one sentence, Chenma immediately understood what he wanted. If this child had been born earlier and could have become his disciple, how fortunate that would have been for him.

"The Fifth Hokage? Didn't you just say there were only four Hokage?"

Hashirama Senju asked a question, but neither Tobirama Senju nor Tatsuma Senju both paid any attention to the First Hokage who ended the Warring States period and established the ninja village system.

Tatsuma vanished in a flash of silver light. Tobirama Senju also gave Orochimaru, who was not bound, a look. Orochimaru smirked, but still acted as the most obedient criminal, leading Tobirama Senju towards the interrogation department.

The village's layout and planning had changed a lot compared to the time of Tobirama Senju, but Orochimaru still understood it, so he led the way with ease.

Orochimaru's cooperation put Tobirama Senju at ease. He only had three days, and he had too many things to do. He didn't want to waste too much time on Orochimaru.

Seeing the others leave, Hashirama Senju sighed in boredom, then squatted down without any regard for appearances, glancing at Kakashi and Sasuke standing to the side. He wasn't interested in Kakashi, but rather...

"Child, do you know Mada?"

Hashirama Senju asked with a smile. Sasuke looked up at Kakashi, who gave him a helpless look. Sasuke then looked back at Hashirama Senju and said, "I know him. He was the first rogue ninja after Konoha was founded."

"Sigh~ It's all Tobirama's fault. I've already said that Madara just has different beliefs from me, but he insisted on including Madara on the list of rogue ninjas."

Hashirama Senju looked melancholy, and Sasuke, suppressing his fear, asked, "First Hokage?"

"what?"

"I would like to ask you how to defeat an Uchiha ninja who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"It's easy."

As soon as Hashirama Senju finished speaking, Sasuke's eyes lit up, anticipating what Hashirama would say next. Hashirama didn't keep Sasuke waiting long, and said with a smile, "Just be stronger than him."

If he weren't so weak, Sasuke would really want to emulate the Second Hokage and fiercely question the First Hokage at this moment.

Is that even human language?!

On the other side, Jiraiya, holding binoculars, watched Orochimaru lead the way for Tobirama Senju, his face full of sighs.

"Jiraiya-sensei."

The sound behind him startled Jiraiya. He frantically retrieved the fallen binoculars, finally managing to hold them back. Turning around, he examined them, muttering to himself:

"So you're the Fourth Hokage from another timeline? You don't look that impressive."

"I was your mentor."

After Tatsuma finished speaking, Jiraiya paused for a moment, coughed lightly, and said, "Ahaha~ Actually, it's not bad."

"Jiraiya-sensei, Minato and I are best friends, and we started out studying under you together. However, I was assigned to my teacher, Tsunade."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's eyes softened even more, and he said with a smile, "No wonder! You and Minato both inherited my talents! By the way, in your timeline, Minato..."

"He's fine, it's just that I became the Fourth Hokage."

After Tatsuma finished speaking, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said as if talking to himself, "That's good, that's good too. You're even better than Minato, and you'll become the Fourth Hokage."

"Jiraiya-sensei, I'm not here to catch up with you. After all, we just met here."

Tatsuma interrupted Jiraiya's mutterings and said, "I'm looking for you because I promised the Second Hokage that I would bring the Fifth Hokage here."

"Tch! I'm not going to be the Fifth Hokage."

Jiraiya showed his resistance to the Hokage position, and Tatsuma shrugged, saying, "You're not someone I'm considering either."

"How could you say that? Am I that weak?!"

It's one thing to not want to be one, but it's another to be denied by the "student." Tatsuma curled his lip and said, "Konoha doesn't need a Hokage who, after taking office, will probably only know how to use the telescope technique."

"So, who have you chosen?"

"My teacher, do you know where she is?"

"Tsunade? She should be in Tanabata Town these days, right? But if she becomes Hokage? Aren't you afraid she'll gamble away the entire village?"

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Tatsuma, who was certain that Tsunade was already in Tanabata, had already used his teleportation to leave. Jiraiya's words were forced to stop, and he gritted his teeth in anger. "That kid is really annoying. Minato is much better!"

She must value Minato more, which is why she made him Tsunade's student. After all, his temperament is more to Tsunade's liking, though he's probably also more likely to get punched by her.

In Tanabata Street, Tsunade wandered aimlessly down the street. She had lost enough today, and her gambling addiction had almost subsided. It was time to find something to eat, wasn't it? But...

Tsunade squeezed her empty wallet and said angrily to Shizune beside her, "I had a feeling I could win that last round. The bookmaker must have rigged it to make me lose!"

"Damn you, Shizune! Tomorrow you go borrow some more money from the bank, and we're going to kill you!"

"Lady Tsunade, you say that every time."

"This time it's for real! I really had a feeling!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth, while Shizune looked dejected. She tightened her grip on the ninja pig in her arms; it was another night without food.

Tsunade continued cursing and swearing, while Shizune remained dejectedly silent. Suddenly, a figure blocked their path. Tsunade instinctively reached out to push the figure aside, saying, "Excuse me."

"teacher."

Before she could move her hand, a strange voice reached Tsunade's ears. She said with displeasure, "Where did this blind person come from? Why are they looking around like this?"

As she spoke, she looked up, but when she saw the person blocking her way, Tsunade was stunned for a moment. She had a vague feeling that this person blocking her way was like her second grandfather when she was a child.

Tsunade shook her head, opened and closed her eyes several times, and when she looked again, the features didn't quite match up; it wasn't her second grandfather.

Yeah, how could that be!

"teacher."

Tatsuma called out again, and Tsunade, looking impatient, said, "I don't have a student like you. Get out of my way!"

As she spoke, she increased the pressure on her hands, but Tatsuma remained motionless. Tsunade frowned, circulated her chakra, and tried to move him again, but still couldn't budge him.

"Mute, move aside."

Tsunade's face darkened as she warily watched Tatsuma. Shizune also sensed something was amiss and retreated to the side with her ninja pig in her arms, even intentionally circling behind Tatsuma to coordinate with Tsunade at any time.

"I don't care who you are or what your purpose is. I'll say it again: get out of my way, or else..."

Before Tsunade could finish speaking, she withdrew her hand, her chakra surged, unleashing monstrous strength, and she punched Tatsuma. Tatsuma raised his hand.

"Bang!"

A dull, loud bang echoed out, dust swirled, the ground became fragmented, and the walls beside the two were peeling away, cracks appearing in the walls. Tsunade's expression turned serious as she began to look directly at the person in front of her.

At the same time, she was also thinking, who sent this person? Which of her creditors is it? Impossible, they wouldn't take such a desperate path.

"The Fourth Hokage?!"

At this moment, Shizune, who had circled around to Tatsuma's side and behind, spoke with some surprise. Tsunade frowned, and Tatsuma explained in a timely manner, "I forgot to mention, I come from another ninja world and was summoned here by Lord Orochimaru."

"I am your disciple, and also the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. By the way, Shizune, you're not as cute as you were when you were little."

"So you were sent by Orochimaru?"

Tsunade questioned him, and Tatsuma shook his head, saying, "Lord Orochimaru summoned me at the Chunin Exams in order to destroy Konoha, and at the same time used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon the First Hokage and the Second Hokage."

"asshole!"

Tsunade unleashed her chakra, sending the sand that had finally begun to settle flying again. She said angrily, "How dare Orochimaru?!"

"You don't need to be too angry, because Lord Orochimaru has already been subdued by us."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade looked at Tatsuma with a questioning gaze. Tatsuma said, "I've come here to take you back to the village. The Second Hokage doesn't intend for the Third Hokage to remain in the position of Hokage."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm sending you back to take over the position of Fifth Hokage."

"Dream on! Didn't you say you were the Fourth Hokage? Why don't you take over then?"

Tsunade stepped back, crossed her arms, and scrutinized Tatsuma. His strength was immense, and his chakra reserves were astonishingly vast. If his chakra control was also precise enough, then perhaps she really would nurture such a genius.

Of course, it was only when she was young, naive and ignorant, that she would do such a foolish thing.

"I can't stay much longer. The First and Second Hokage only have less than three days left. Are you sure you don't want to go back and see them?"

Even though his teacher was from another time and another destiny, Tatsuma was still able to maintain some patience with him.

Tsunade rolled her eyes and said, "What if you're lying to me? Go back to the village? That would waste at least a day traveling back and forth. I had incredibly good luck gambling today; do you know how much money I'll lose because of it?!"

"Come on, teacher, I've known you since I was five."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade became somewhat embarrassed and angry, and said, "What do you mean?!"

Tatsuma shrugged. Seeing that Tsunade was about to make a move again, he sighed and said helplessly, "Teacher, you are not as good as you were in my timeline when you were more than ten years younger."

If we intervene again, the situation will become very difficult to manage.

Tsunade's raised fist stopped, not because of Tatsuma's words—those words would only make her want to hit someone more—but because of the ever-growing vines on Tatsuma's outstretched hand.

"It seems I really will have to go with you. However, if you try to deceive me, I'll show you my power!"

Tatsuma flung the vines to the ground, turned slightly to the side, and reached out his hand to Tsunade and Shizune.

"What do you mean?"

"I have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, just like Minato."

"Hmph, I didn't know that becoming the Fourth Hokage of Konoha required mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Although her tone was still unpleasant, Tsunade still raised her hand to touch him. Seeing that Tsunade was doing the same, Shizune also moved closer and carefully took Tatsuma's hand.

"What are you doing?!"

Suddenly feeling Tatsuma's chakra attached to her, Tsunade was about to shake him off when she realized that her surroundings had completely changed.

"Xiao Gang?!"

A voice that only existed in her memory rang out, and Tsunade turned around stiffly.

"Grandpa?"
