Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

However, Senju Er Ye did not stop his hand movements while he was talking. After a series of hand seals, he reminded Sarutobi Hiruzen to be careful, shouting "Water Dragon Bullet," but in fact, he was forming the S-rank ninjutsu "Water Dragon Bite Explosion" with his hands. A huge vortex of water rushed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Fortunately, due to his limited strength, the power of this Water Dragon Bite was not very great. Hiruzen Sarutobi cursed his teacher for being shameless and narrowly dodged Senju's Water Release technique.

At this moment, he once again realized the strength of the number one schemer in the ninja world, far surpassing Onoki...

"Holy crap! The second-generation master is shameless!"

"Yeah, they can even mix up the names."

"Don't you know? The Second Generation Lord also has a nickname: Old Schemer..."

The Second Hokage's move left the Konoha underlings outside the barrier dumbfounded. They couldn't believe such a tactic was being used. Their Second Hokage was being a bit despicable.

"Idiot! I can't control my body!"

Upon hearing his underlings' voices outside, Second Master Senju's face instantly darkened. He had a premonition that after this incident, his historical standing as a great scientist, politician, military strategist, and the fastest ninja in the world would plummet in the eyes of future generations...

"Hahaha, old ginger is indeed spicier! Second Master is mighty! Second Master is awesome!!"

Shinto was also completely taken aback by Senju's amazing skills. This kind of ninjutsu is not as simple as multitasking. He was shouting out one ninjutsu while simultaneously performing another. Only Senju could pull off such a feat.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's constipated old face, Shinto almost burst out laughing. Standing outside the barrier, he pulled out a megaphone and colorful flags from somewhere to cheer for Hiruzen.

"Holy crap, holy crap! Hiruzen Sarutobi, you dare to fight back? You have no respect for your master! Go, Second Master, get him!"

"Grandpa Senju, I have a list of Tsunade's losses over the decades, along with a contract. Come and take a look when you have time. Tsunade and I are in love, but because of our different identities, we can never be together. She was too embarrassed to summon you. Now that you're here, why not sign this marriage certificate? Your wife, Mito, already agreed to it back then..."

"......"

Shindou started babbling outside the barrier, then pulled out a few A4 sheets of paper and yelled at Senju, who was playing in the grove.

"......"

The Konoha underlings outside were also furious at this bastard's actions. Their leader was being beaten up by two former leaders inside, and this bastard actually brought it up here. Wasn't he trying to get the First Hokage to sell out Lady Tsunade?

This is blatant opportunism.

But they had no choice. The only people who could speak up were White Fang and Jiraiya, who were busy fighting off external enemies. Their status was too low to have any influence. Besides, Orochimaru was already in such a state; what would happen if they provoked this Golden Lion?

"Haha, really? I didn't expect Xiaogang to have someone he likes. Time flies!"

Grandpa Senju burst into laughter, completely unconcerned about his status. His greatest ideal during his lifetime was for the ninja world to be a loving family.

".....-_-||"

Orochimaru, who was controlling the Senju elders nearby, nearly collapsed to the ground. If Tsunade found out that he had summoned the Senju elder and was now pursuing him, only to be betrayed by the Senju elder, their friendship would be over in no time...

"Brother, stop talking nonsense! Kid, are you with Orochimaru?"

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to give up, the Second Master Senju unleashed another large-scale Water Release attack on Hiruzen Sarutobi and then asked the brat who was still eyeing Tsunade with annoyance.

"..........The Third Generation Sir......╥﹏╥"

Although these leaders were chatting and joking, their hands were constantly moving. Just as their Third Hokage had dodged the First Hokage's Wood Release and hadn't even caught his breath, the Second Hokage's Water Release had already arrived. This brought tears to the eyes of the Konoha underlings outside. They only regretted that they were too weak and could only watch as their Third Hokage was beaten up by the two leaders without being able to help at all. They wanted to rush up and help, but they really couldn't break through this barrier!

"Second Master, you're mistaken. While Orochimaru and I are friends, it's a personal matter. This has nothing to do with me. I came to Konoha just to watch the show. But I have to say something. It's all because of your disciples. Look at Orochimaru, handsome and talented, the greatest scientist in the ninja world after you. Such a talent would be a national treasure in any village. And yet, your disciples... you, you, you! Mitokado Homura, don't hide! Your teacher saw you! I'm talking about you! You actually turned such a hero, whose contributions are so great that a temple could be built for him after his death, into a rogue ninja! He risked his life for Konoha for decades, and all he got was the title of rogue ninja! Second Master, if you were in his shoes, wouldn't you be furious?"

Shinto, looking indignant on behalf of his friend, pointed to the side and said to Senju Niji, "Mitokado Homura is frantically moving behind the Konoha underlings to minimize his presence, like a child who has done something wrong and is afraid of being discovered by the teacher."

1003. Orochimaru, I'm backing you up this time!

"...I never imagined Orochimaru would do so much for the village."

"I heard from my former captain that Orochimaru used to be a hero of the village, I never imagined it was true..."

"Waaaaah... Orochimaru is so pitiful, I never expected the village to treat him like this..."

"..."

Regardless of how Senju the elder and the younger Senju the younger were reacting, the Konoha underlings around Shinto were all moved to tears by his passionate speech!

They are just young people who have risen to power in recent years. Orochimaru's defection was more than ten years ago. In addition, because of his sensitive identity as the Hokage's disciple, the reason for Orochimaru's defection was not spread. At that time, only Hiruzen Sarutobi and the ANBU underlings who were involved in the operation knew about it. Most of those ANBU underlings have either died or retired. Those who have retired would not spread such a thing, after all, the old hands knew that Orochimaru was their Third Hokage's beloved disciple. If they dared to talk about it, even if they had retired, they would be in trouble. They still had to live on their pensions.

So these young people have no idea why Orochimaru defected back then. Now, hearing Masato's enthusiastic praise, they think it's really... pitiful that such a hero, whose death would have been commemorated as a defector.

At that moment, they didn't even care why Orochimaru had defected; they were simply moved and sympathetic...

"....(⊙_⊙)?"

Snake was also bewildered by Shinto's exaggerated praise. He hadn't thought much of it before, but now, after hearing Shiki's boast, he began to doubt whether Shiki was actually praising him. He even asked himself, "Am I really that great?"

"What?! Little monkey, what's going on?! Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!"

Even the simple-minded Hashirama Senju believed it, looking at Orochimaru, who was momentarily stunned and no longer in control of him, with the gaze of a grandfather looking at his grandson. Then, he angrily questioned Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was not currently under Orochimaru's control. However, his body had already habitually clashed with Hiruzen Sarutobi in a small grove of trees.

Ultimately, it was the title of "Strongest Hokage in History" bestowed upon Hiruzen Sarutobi that spurred him on...

"Hiruzen, do you have anything to say? Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

Compared to Hashirama Senju, who met Orochimaru for the first time, Tobirama Senju met Orochimaru for the second time. Therefore, he knew more about Orochimaru than his older brother. After all, it was Orochimaru who summoned him to help Nawaki develop the Three-Sword Style. Although he was not familiar with Orochimaru, he was familiar with his granddaughter Tsunade. He believed that if Orochimaru were truly a heinous rogue ninja, even if Nawaki was trying to save face, she would never have asked Orochimaru to summon her in the first place.

He was a scientist too, so he naturally knew the drawbacks of those scientific experiments, which did indeed somewhat contradict Konoha's glorious image of love and peace. Therefore, even though he himself had secretly conducted those small scientific experiments back then, he didn't think it was a big deal. After all, he had secretly dug up his own brother's grave years ago...

"Holy crap... Masters, Orochimaru, that monstrous devil, has gone mad in his quest for immortality! He's using villagers to research forbidden techniques! Those were living, breathing people!"

Well, to put it another way, a qualified politician needs at least one Best Actor in his hands.

Hiruzen Sarutobi dodged Senju's Water Release once again, and after cleaving a tree hurtling towards him in two with a single blow, he immediately adopted a pitiful and disappointed expression, tears welling up in his eyes. This performance once again moved the Konoha comrades outside to tears.

"Seriously! I knew the Third Hokage wasn't that kind of person. Orochimaru is truly despicable, using village names to research forbidden techniques..."

"That's right, that's right..."

"Sogatari! That's not right of you. Tobirama said you're Tsuna's teammate, right? How could you use villagers for experiments?! Wood Release: Wood Release: Wood Release..."

Grandpa Senju was also thoroughly fooled by Hiruzen Sarutobi's antics. He turned around and lectured Orochimaru in the tone of a grandfather lecturing his grandson, while his hands continued to move, sending a giant wooden figure hurtling towards Hiruzen Sarutobi, seemingly unable to do it himself.

"...Heh, First Hokage, you were known as the 'God of Shinobi' when you were alive, but in the end you were nothing but a pile of bones. My dream is immortality, and there's nothing wrong with that..."

Orochimaru watched as Hashirama Senju, who seemed to be helplessly summoning a wooden puppet to rant at his teacher Sarutobi, thought to himself, "Wow, that's something!"

If he weren't the one controlling the Edo Tensei, he would have thought Tsunade's grandfather was an honest and kind man.

As expected, the person who could defeat Madara Uchiha is not as simple as he appears on the surface...

"That's absolutely right! What reason could possibly stop a man's dream? Orochimaru, I'm rooting for you!"

Masato slapped his thigh, looking incredibly moved by Orochimaru's grand dream. Although his acting wasn't as polished as Hiruzen Sarutobi's, and he could cry on cue, his eyes were still wet with tears. If the competition wasn't too fierce, he should have no problem winning the Best Actor award.

"Shut up, brat! Water Release: Hard Whirlpool Water Blade... (▼he▼メ)"

Tobirama Senju glared at Shinto with annoyance, but his hands showed no sign of stopping as he unleashed a sharp water-style attack on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Through Hiruzen Sarutobi's and Orochimaru's accounts, he roughly understood what had happened. However, considering Tsunade's attitude towards Orochimaru, he was certain there was something fishy going on. Konoha was the culmination of his and his brother's life's work. If Orochimaru really dared to experiment on the villagers, given Tsunade's fiery temper, she would have attacked him the moment she saw him. These were his disciples, and although apart from Hiruzen and Kagami, the others weren't his direct disciples, he still knew them quite well.

However, family scandals should not be aired in public, and such things would inevitably have some impact if they got out, so it's better not to say anything. He and his elder brother are already dead, and the people in charge of the village are now his disciples, so they can't imprison that many people.

"....(-"-anger)"

Having just been humiliated by the wooden doll, Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the water spear coming at him and thought to himself, "What the hell? It's clearly that bastard who's causing trouble, what does it have to do with me? Why does he always harass me?"

However, seeing that the two teachers seemed to have no choice in the situation, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't openly criticize them in front of a large audience and could only silently endure it.

Are we really going to criticize the two teachers in front of so many of our underlings?

It would be strange if the two teachers didn't end up in doubles matches later...

1004. Kakashi: Thank goodness I didn't summon Grandpa.

"Phew... I feel so light now. First Generation Lord, Second Generation Lord! This is... (⊙_⊙)"

At this moment, White Fang and his son also appeared, but it was clear that they had just gone through a fierce battle, as there were still some bloodstains on their bodies and some sweat on their foreheads.

It has to be said that White Fang's condition has really declined. Although he is still at his peak, he is not a team-fighting type of player and his physical skills have started to decline. The underlings brought by Orochimaru are just a bunch of small karami. In his peak years, he would have been just warming up by going in and out seven times, but now he is already sweating profusely after dealing with a group of small karami.

However, worried about the comfort of his old leader, he rushed over immediately after dealing with a group of young karaomis without taking a break.

When he saw the two Thousand Hands CEOs inside the barrier, he was completely bewildered. How did these two get out?

"Oh! I recognize your white-haired guy. You're the young white-haired boy from the Hatake family, right? Hahaha, the young white-haired boy from back then has grown into a middle-aged man. Is this young white-haired boy your son? Wood Dragon Technique..."

While White Fang looked completely bewildered, Senju-sama also looked over, spouting his chuunibyou and goofy remarks while continuing to tease Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"It's been many years since we last met the First Lord."

“…”

Although many years have passed, White Fang had seen Senju quite a few times when he was a child, so he was fairly familiar with Senju's goofy personality. However, Kakashi was just rolling his deadpan eyes on the side, which sounded rather awkward...

"Lord White Fang, the situation is like this @#￥%#@#￥..."

After White Fang appeared, the Konoha underlings beside him finally found their leader and immediately explained the current situation.

In short, Orochimaru summoned the two generations of CEOs and gave their Third Hokage a good beating. However, Orochimaru's underlings couldn't break the barrier they had set up. They could only watch as the Third Hokage was attacked by the two CEOs. Not only did Shiki not help, but he also frantically poured water on the sidelines. They suspected that the two CEOs' desperate attack on the Third Hokage was related to Shiki's watering the sidelines.

"...Phew, thank goodness Orochimaru didn't summon Grandpa."

Kakashi listened to his underling's introduction, then looked at the blond old man outside the barrier who was chatting and joking with the First and Second Hokage, constantly referring to them as "the strongest Hokage in history," and was speechless.

It's estimated that the first and second generations were truly provoked...

At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Orochimaru only summoned two CEOs. If he had summoned his grandfather, how could they possibly fight? It didn't matter that Tsunade and Nawaki weren't in the village, but if Orochimaru summoned his grandfather and he fought his father, that would be treason...

"...I'll give it a try."

Hearing his son's words, Bai Ya nodded imperceptibly. Even if it were a million reasons, he wouldn't be able to fight his father. He was already used to his lifelong enemy's behavior and didn't bother to pay attention. Instead, he went to the edge of the barrier, took out the ancestral short blade from his back, and unleashed a barrage of powerful attacks at the barrier.

However, his ultimate attack struck the barrier without causing a ripple, as if the attack was absorbed into the barrier.

"Hehe, Sakumo, there's no need to try anymore. I developed this barrier after a long period of research. Even the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball might not be able to break through it... Golden Lion's sword aura might be able to, but this is the center of Konoha. If Golden Lion were to slash down with his sword, the consequences would be very serious."

While controlling Senju elder and Senju niece to fight Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru spoke to Sakumo Hatake as if they were old friends meeting.

He wasn't surprised by White Fang's arrival. After all, he knew very well the quality of the underlings White Fang brought. It was impossible for them to stop Sakumo. He was just using those underlings to create the conditions for him to fight Sarutobi-sensei one-on-one at the beginning. Now the effect had been achieved, the barrier had been set up, and no one else would come. Sarutobi-sensei couldn't get out either. Those underlings had been raised for so long, so it was worth it for them to die. It didn't matter that White Fang came.

"...How about it? Want me to give you a sword strike? I guarantee there won't be any pain."

Shinto pulled out his Uchiha Greatsword, walked over, and said eagerly.

"this...."

White Fang hesitated, not because of the bastard's last words, but because he saw that the old leader inside the barrier was already running out of steam under the combined attack of the two CEOs. If this continued, the old leader would either be overwhelmed or killed. But Orochimaru was right. This was the center of the village, and he knew how fierce that bastard's sword energy was. If he really got hit by such a sword, it would be disastrous.

"Sakumo, don't worry about me. Kakashi, go and evacuate the villagers. I can handle things..."
