I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 641 Even things that are set in stone need someone to put nails on the plank first.

"What do you mean?"

Everyone in the meeting room was puzzled by Tatsuma's question, except for Danzo, whose heart was pounding. He wanted to deny it, since regardless of whether Tatsuma came from another time or not, he shouldn't know this news.

Unless he really is Orochimaru's henchman!

"Second Generation"

"Sizzle~"

A line of water swept across the room, and Danzo's words choked in his throat. Tobirama Senju said solemnly, "Truly powerful water jutsu skills, comparable to mine."

Before the others could fully react, Tobirama Senju recognized what kind of technique it was, because it was the Water Wave Severing Technique that he had developed.

"I'm just learning from you."

Tatsuma said modestly, but only then did Hiruzen Sarutobi react, looking at Danzo's head gradually shifting from his neck, and said incredulously, "You...you actually killed Danzo?!"

In an instant, emotions such as sadness, anger, and disbelief filled Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart. He stood up, and the chakra within his body surged involuntarily.

Everyone else turned their attention to Tatsuma, unable to believe that the "Fourth Hokage" had so directly killed Danzo, the Hokage's assistant from Konoha.

Most importantly, the Second Hokage didn't get angry. Could it be that, as Danzo said, even the Second Hokage was bewitched by some forbidden technique?

The reason why Tobirama Senju didn't turn against him was simple: he didn't believe Tatsuma's baseless accusations. This young man was very similar to him and must also know that killing Danzo now would only bring trouble to himself and would not have any positive effect.

Moreover, while everyone's attention was focused on Tatsuma, Tobirama Senju, who was the first to look at Tatsuma, was already looking at the spot where Danzo had stood. It was empty.

In an instant, Tobirama Senju's face darkened, and a surge of killing intent and turbulent chakra swept through the conference room, drawing everyone's attention back to the present.

"Good! Well done!"

Tobirama Senju suddenly spoke, saying, "Fourth Hokage, bring Danzo back. I will interrogate him personally!"

"Bring him back? Interrogate him? Reincarnate him?"

The group, who had just learned about the Impure World Reincarnation technique, were somewhat surprised and did not understand what Tobirama Senju meant. Hashirama Senju, however, stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"it is good."

Tatsuma nodded, clapped his hands, and the Sage Mode mask appeared on his face. He hadn't gathered too much chakra, so he needed to absorb relatively less natural energy, which allowed him to enter Sage Mode faster.

"Splash splash splash~"

A golden chain, studded with spikes and barbs, emerged from Tatsuma's body, bringing Hashirama Senju back to his senses. He chuckled and said, "Mito's methods, huh? It seems Mito taught you very diligently."

"I will never forget Grandma Mito's kindness."

Tatsuma nodded with a smile. Hearing Tatsuma's address to Uzumaki Mito, Senju Hashirama laughed even more heartily, even giving Senju Tobirama a smug look, while Senju Tobirama rolled his eyes.

The chain, like a serpent emerging from its hole, shot upwards.

"Bang!"

The ceiling collapsed, and a figure was pulled down by chains. The crowd, who were already somewhat confused, were now even more dumbfounded. Wasn't Danzo just dead?

All those present were Jonin, and even though many of them hadn't been on the battlefield or on field missions for many years, their eyesight hadn't deteriorated much. Danzo's death just now couldn't have been faked; he was indeed really dead.

But at this moment, Danzo is bound by golden chains.

"Go ahead and keep killing me if you dare!"

Danzo stared at Tatsuma as if he were insane. From the moment Tobirama Senju uttered those words, he knew he could not survive in this village. Now, he hoped Tatsuma would kill him and give him a better chance to escape.

"Really? Lord Danzo?"

Tatsuma asked with a smile. Danzo stiffened his neck, wanting to say something heroic, but before he could speak, sealing techniques flowed from the chains, and Danzo's expression changed.

What kind of sealing technique is this? How can it even seal a forbidden Uchiha technique?

And this guy definitely knows his secret! Otherwise, how could he be so precise?

"Splash~"

The chains were released and returned to Tatsuma's body. At this moment, the sage mask on Tatsuma's face also faded. He looked at Tobirama Senju, who nodded gratefully.

Danzo went too far, but Tatsuma still gave him a final bit of dignity. Regardless of whether it was because of him being the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju had to thank Tatsuma.

If Tatsuma insists on not giving Danzo any face, then Konoha will lose all face, not to mention that Tobirama Senju fell on the ignorant and clueless Sasuke.

There's another Uchiha there. If this kid sees something, the village might produce another Uchiha rogue ninja.

Withdrawing his gaze, Tobirama Senju looked at Danzo, who no longer dared to resist, and said, "Stubborn fool! I retract my previous punishment of you. From this day forward, you are no longer a Konoha ninja!"

Everything you've taken from the village, and everything you've brought to the village, I will settle accounts with you properly!

The overwhelming killing intent even made many Jonin in the conference room tremble with fear, and even someone as thick-skinned as Might Guy began to keep his eyes down.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave his friend a deep look. As the Hokage, his knowledge was unmatched by any other ninja. At this moment, all he could offer his former friend was a sigh.

Although his teacher and the other two Hokage wouldn't stay in the mortal world for long, only a few hours had passed. The enemy was defeated, the culprit was captured, and the reconstruction work was completed.

There are still more than two days left. Even if Danzo were a tough nut to crack, he would probably be chewed up, let alone someone who isn't.

Tobirama Senju snorted, slowly withdrawing his killing intent, and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi. Before Tobirama could speak, Hiruzen Sarutobi said directly:

"Teacher! As the Hokage, I have raised a disciple like Orochimaru, tolerated a criminal like Danzo, and almost caused the destruction of Konoha. I am ashamed of my position as Hokage, and I voluntarily resign from the position."

Although many people knew the truth, they were still surprised when Hiruzen Sarutobi said these words, after all, most of the people in the meeting room became ninjas under Hiruzen Sarutobi's command and worked their way up to where they are now.

Now that this Hokage is about to leave his post, I feel a bit choked up.

However, Tobirama Senju did not share their sentimentality. He spoke in an extremely serious and authoritative tone: "Don't think this is the end of it. If I find out that you also participated in the destruction of the village..."

"I will definitely kill myself!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi answered without hesitation, which made Tobirama Senju's expression soften a bit. Hiruzen Sarutobi dared to say that, so he probably hadn't been involved. Even though he was the Hokage, as the Hokage, he was still at fault for what happened to the village.

But it's much better than participating. If Hiruzen Sarutobi had really participated, Tobirama Senju wouldn't know how to answer the villagers and ninjas of Konoha.

Tobirama Senju looked at his elder brother, Hashirama Senju, who nodded, but the smile on his face was gone. As the founder of the village, no one valued Konoha more than him.

If something is indeed discovered, even if Tobirama intends to conceal it, Hashirama Senju is determined to give the village an explanation.

Withdrawing his gaze, Tobirama Senju could only pray that his disciples wouldn't do anything too outrageous. He then looked at everyone and said, "Now that the Third Hokage has resigned, it's time to vote for the next Hokage. Does anyone have a suitable candidate?"

Sometimes, even things that are set in stone require someone to put nails on the plank first.

Tobirama Senju did not want to appoint someone directly. He had already done it once, and the result was obviously not good. Moreover, if he appointed someone directly, wouldn't it give people the feeling of being appointed by imperial decree?

But Tobirama Senju's aura had been too overwhelming, and no one dared to speak. Tobirama scoffed, "These people are such cowards! When did Konoha become like this?!"

He focused his gaze on Tatsuma, who shrugged. From his actions and eyes, Tobirama Senju understood that he couldn't interfere in these matters out of politeness. So he shifted his gaze to Sasuke beside Tatsuma.

In an instant, Sasuke felt his blood stop flowing. Not long ago, when he faced Orochimaru, he was also frightened, but that time his limbs only stiffened. This time, Sasuke regretted not just finding a place to relieve himself in the training ground.

"Lady Tsunade! I recommend Lady Tsunade!"

Sasuke blurted out. It wasn't that he hadn't heard it; Tatsuma had specifically brought Tsunade back to be the Fifth Hokage, even though he didn't know Tsunade at all and had only heard her story in textbooks and rumors.

However, this does not prevent him from clearly and firmly supporting Tsunade becoming the Fifth Hokage of the village.

After saying that, Tobirama Senju withdrew his gaze, and Sasuke felt as if he had come back to life. The Hokage was terrifying.

Once someone takes the lead, even if it's just a low-ranking ninja from a village, or even a low-ranking ninja who isn't even qualified to attend the meeting, everyone else will follow suit.

"Alright, since everyone wants it, then Tsuna, you will become the Fifth Hokage of the village."

"Me? Oh, this."

Tsunade wanted to continue refusing, but so much had happened in the short time that had passed in the meeting room. She knew that her great-grandfather must be in a bad mood, and if she objected, she might be implicated as well.

After thinking for a moment, Tsunade forced a smile and said, "Grandpa, I can take over as the Fifth Hokage, but right now the village is focused on emergency repairs and external affairs, so we need you to take charge. How about I take over after a while?"

Once her second grandfather returns to the Pure Land, she can find an excuse to slip away. No one in the village can stop her now, unless her second grandfather is summoned by spirits a second time. Otherwise, if anyone wants to blame her, they'll have to wait until she goes to the Pure Land as well.

Tobirama Senju saw right through Tsunade's little scheme. Like Hashirama Senju, Tsunade wore her heart on her sleeve, and you could tell what she was thinking without even having to think about it.

"Hmph! Can I help the village for a day or two, or for ten or twenty years? You should take over as soon as possible, and I will try my best to teach you the skills required to be Hokage during this time."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's lips twitched. She had also heard that her great-uncle only had a little over two days left and was planning to make her study 24 hours a day.

Before she could say anything more, she saw Hashirama Senju looking at her with wide, pitiful eyes, and saying, "Tsuna, Grandpa just wants to see you become Hokage. Can you fulfill Grandpa's last wish?"

You're a reincarnated person! What kind of last wish are you talking about?!
