I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

Based on only a few pieces of information, Tobirama Senju was able to make an incredibly accurate deduction about the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, proving himself to be the true strategist of the Senju clan and Konoha.

Then, with his expression still cold, he continued to speak to Orochimaru: "You call yourself a disciple of the Monkey King, whether what you say is true or not. But you are now a rogue ninja, and now you're summoning us, clearly intending to harm Konoha. I have no interest in acknowledging a 'grand-disciple' like you."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have no feelings for Konoha or for master and disciple anymore."

Orochimaru stuck out his long, bloody tongue, his gaze lingering between the two Hokage and Konoha Village, before excitedly licking his lips.

"In comparison, I'm quite interested in having the First and Second Hokage of Konoha attack the very Konoha they founded!"

Orochimaru's face was full of anticipation.

Instantly, Tobirama Senju's expression grew even colder.

Meanwhile, Hashirama Senju, who had finally reluctantly turned his gaze away from Konoha Village, frowned and looked at Orochimaru, saying:

"Junior, since the Third Hokage accepted you as his disciple, his initial judgment must have been correct. Can you tell me why you chose to defect from Konoha? If there's any misunderstanding, I can help you resolve it. If not, I'm willing to believe that the flame of the Will of Fire still burns within you. Stop now. Even if you have grievances, you shouldn't take them out on ordinary people."

"Reason? Misunderstanding? Will of Fire?" Orochimaru calmly shook his head and said, "I lost interest in the Will of Fire a long time ago. If you want to know why I defected, it's only because Konoha, this small world, can no longer contain my ambitions! Besides, not harming civilians? Not every ninja is as naive as you, First Hokage! Moreover, we are currently at war."

"war?"

In an instant, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, who were very sensitive to this word, raised their voices in unison.

Orochimaru, however, had lost interest in explaining further.

After the exchange, having lost interest in historical figures like the First and Second Hokage, he decided to get down to business.

"As for the war, let's talk about it when I have time to summon you both again. For now, let's fulfill my obligation to summon you both."

After saying that, Orochimaru formed a hand seal with one hand, about to erase the will of the two.

Although the Impure World Reincarnation technique has been completed, there are still some flaws.

For example, there are still occasionally some resurrected beings who resist orders.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Orochimaru decided to first erase the wills of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

Although this will make the two of them lack the strength they can exert.

However, given the immense reputations of the First and Second Hokage, Orochimaru preferred this arrangement to taking a greater risk.

Anyway, his original goal wasn't to destroy Konoha, and his current strength was more than enough to destroy the Konoha train station.

Damn it!

At this moment, Tobirama Senju's face was very ugly as he felt his will being rapidly erased.

The reason he communicated with Orochimaru in that way before was not only to obtain information, but also to buy time and secretly do everything he could to break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Although he and his brother seemed to be free, in reality, they could only move around to a limited extent under Orochimaru's extremely cautious and full-force control from the very beginning.

For example, it is completely impossible to undo the Impure World Reincarnation technique by forming hand seals.

'If only the original body were of higher quality,' Tobirama Senju thought with deep regret.

The strength of the person summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation technique is closely related to the quality of the corpse used as a sacrifice.

The power that Tobirama Senju, who was summoned at the moment, could unleash was less than half of his original strength.

So much so that when he tried to break free from the control of the technique, he discovered that his strength was still insufficient.

Ultimately, lacking both power and time, Tobirama Senju could only have his will erased amidst deep resentment, becoming a rigid puppet that obeyed orders and acted on instinct.

On the other hand, Hashirama Senju, whose strength was even more severely weakened than Tobirama Senju, followed suit.

Looking at the two Hokage before him, their eyes now unfocused and completely obedient to his commands, Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction. Then, glancing at the bustling Hidden Leaf Village, he smiled faintly and said:

"The time has come, so let the 'Konoha Raid Plan' officially begin!"

Chapter 291 The Foundation of Konoha Village

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Orochimaru waved his hand, and the two Edo Tensei bodies of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju transformed into two sharp arrows and rushed towards Konoha Village.

He remained where he was, quietly watching what was about to happen.

Having already died twice, Orochimaru really didn't want any more accidents to happen in the near future.

soon.

As Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju sped along, making no attempt to conceal their passage through the perception barrier set up by Konoha, a sharp alarm immediately rang out at the Konoha Barrier Team's base.

"The perception barrier has been activated!"

"Foreign enemies have invaded!"

"Target: Two people!"

The members of the Konoha Barrier Team quickly reported the current situation using their barrier perception.

"Two people?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the barrier class, who had rushed over, was quite surprised, but still ordered, "Immediately send the message to Lord Shikaku. Also, pull up the surveillance cameras and find out the identity of the intruding enemy."

"Yes!"

One of his men quickly went to relay the message, while another man went to the instrument and skillfully began to operate it.

The next second, the screen in front of them quickly showed Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju passing through the barrier at an extremely fast speed.

After the barrier class leader had his subordinates pause the screen, he stared wide-eyed at the two people in the forbidden state on the screen and said with great surprise, "Why do these two look so familiar to me?"

"This...this isn't the First Hokage and the Second Hokage?" A member of the barrier team who was also looking over exclaimed in shock.

He lived near the Hokage Rock, and he was already very familiar with the large portraits above his head, so he immediately recognized the faces of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

"The First Hokage? The Second Hokage?" The leader of the barrier team was stunned, and then, as if struck by lightning, his body trembled violently.

No wonder I always felt a sense of familiarity before.

The appearance and clothing of the two people on the screen are exactly the same as those of the First and Second Hokage.

However, due to the fixed perception that the First and Second Hokage had been dead for many years, he didn't react immediately.

The identity of the invading enemy has now been revealed.

But the question is, what exactly is going on?

First of all, it's not the fact that the First and Second Hokage had already died many years ago.

Even if they were to be resurrected like Madara Uchiha, they would never turn their anger against Konoha, which they themselves had personally suggested.

Could it be that someone is deliberately impersonating someone?

But there's no need for that!

At that moment, while everyone in the barrier team was shocked and confused, the team leader, who had not forgotten his responsibilities, quickly ordered, "Go and inform Lord Shikaku that the invading enemy is suspected to be the First Hokage and the Second Hokage."

"Yes!"

One of his men obeyed.

Thanks to Konoha's advanced communication technology, within moments, Nara Shikaku, who was in charge of the village at that time, received another message from the Barrier Team, and his brows furrowed instantly.

He had already dispatched a small team to deal with the situation when he discovered the invasion.

They initially thought the attackers were just two arrogant fools, and that a small squad would be enough.

However, it now seems that the trouble is quite significant.

"The First Hokage? The Second Hokage?" At that moment, Ritsuko Yamanaka's voice rang out beside Shikaku.

Having been instructed by Yun Ting to stay in Konoha to assist Shikaku, she also saw the latest information sent by the Barrier Team.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique? Orochimaru has made his move!"

Compared to other Konoha ninjas, Ritsuko Yamanaka, as the Hokage's secretary, who had access to more advanced information, did not show the same level of shock as the barrier team ninjas.

After calming down, she quickly analyzed the truth.

Similarly, Shikaku had previously learned from Yunting that Orochimaru had completed the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and that Orochimaru had even summoned the First and Second Hokage during their last encounter with Akatsuki.

It's one thing to know, but another thing to do.

But trouble is still trouble.

Although the First and Second Hokage were not as strong as before after being resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, they were still not comparable to ordinary ninjas.

"Orochimaru's intentions this time are probably not good!"

Lu Jiu frowned deeply.

He was very wary of this former one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, who had served under him for a period of time during the Third Shinobi World War.

Putting aside the fact that the other party already possessed a strange and powerful strength that was known throughout the ninja world, even he admired their command abilities during the war.

Does such a meticulous, ruthless, and cunning person really think he can attack Konoha with just the Impure World Reincarnation technique?

Do not!

If it were Shikaku himself, knowing that he would at most cause minor damage to Konoha and would not be able to seriously injure it, he would not recklessly expose himself to the outside world just to vent his anger.

Therefore, Orochimaru must have had other purposes for this trip.

If he were in Konoha, the only way to maximize the damage to the Konoha clan at this point in time would be...

"not good!"

The thought of that possibility sent a jolt through Lu Jiu's heart.

After quickly informing Ritsuko Yamanaka of his thoughts, he then said in a very fast tone, "Ritsuko, take some people and evacuate the villagers safely first. I will personally go and take charge of the Konoha train station."

“Understood!” Ritsuko Yamanaka didn’t hesitate at all, then reminded him, “The Hokage also left an insurance policy for Konoha beforehand. Shikaku, it’s time for Might Guy to make his move.”

"The Eight Gates? I understand." Shikaku nodded. "Also, Ritsuko, I'd like to ask the Third Hokage, who's currently unemployed, to take action. Although the First and Second Hokage's Edo Tensei forms aren't at their peak, they're still not something ordinary ninjas can handle, especially given the current situation in Konoha where there aren't many ninjas left."

The Third Hokage

Ritsuko Yamanaka is well aware that while the Third Hokage appears to be idle at home, he is actually under house arrest.

After a moment or two of silence, she finally nodded emphatically and said, "I agree. If the Hokage investigates later, I will share the responsibility with you."

"No need, I can do it myself. But I think given the Hokage's personality, he wouldn't blame us if he knew our situation," Shikaku said with a smile.

Without saying anything more, the two nodded to each other and quickly got to work.
