I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

However, he stopped very soon.

Since his own strength was insufficient to force these two to go all out, he couldn't possibly judge who was stronger or weaker.

Orochimaru shook his head, then closed his eyes, awaiting the next resurrection.

Anyway, he got used to dying as he went along.

To his surprise, Hashirama Senju, who came to him, did not want to kill him.

"As a dead man, I should not interfere too much in Konoha's internal affairs. Since you are a rogue ninja of Konoha, let the current Konoha decide your fate."

After saying that, Hashirama Senju stretched out his right hand, and his palm, which was covered with sealing techniques, pressed down on Orochimaru's head.

Without waiting for a response, he placed it on the sealing pillar.

In an instant, Orochimaru's eyelids rolled back, and he fell into a coma.

On the other side, Tobirama Senju, whose body had been fully restored but had been targeted by Hashirama Senju's Wood Release, finally regained his senses when Orochimaru was sealed away and the Impure World Reincarnation was also lifted.

Noticing that his soul was about to return to the underworld, Tobirama Senju's gaze sharpened, and he quickly formed the reverse hand seals for the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Zi – Chou – Shen – Yin – Chen – Hai.

"Impure World Reincarnation - Release!"

moment!

His corrupted body, which was on the verge of collapse, stabilized again.

Chapter 302 Tsunade was still so young...

When Orochimaru was unable to maintain the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Tobirama Senju, who had regained control of his body, did not choose to return to the Underworld. Instead, he voluntarily broke the Impure World Reincarnation contract and remained in the human world.

"Tobirama, we are both dead. Let's not linger too long in the mortal world. The underworld is our true home," Hashirama Senju quickly reminded him, seeing this scene unfold.

He knew very well that his younger brother had been very opinionated since childhood, and coupled with his unconventional way of doing things, if it weren't for his older brother keeping him in check, who knows how many more forbidden techniques like the Impure World Reincarnation that manipulated souls would have been developed.

Suddenly seeing that the other party had chosen to stay, he instinctively started administering the seedling injection.

"Don't worry, brother, I can still distinguish between life and death." Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju calmly nodded and said, "It's just that after so many years, I rarely have time to return to the human world. I want to spend more time looking at Konoha Village now, so that I can return to the underworld with more peace of mind."

"I see~~ Now I'd like to see more of Konoha Village! My previous cursory visit was too rushed. How about... staying a little longer?"

After resolving the Orochimaru problem, Hashirama Senju originally planned to return to the Underworld, adhering to the principle of separating the living and the dead.

However, upon hearing his younger brother say this, he was immediately intrigued and changed his mind with great enthusiasm.

Anyway, there's no rush to return to the underworld. I can take a good look at the new look of Konoha, which I founded, before leaving.

Oh, right! There's also that little girl who knows Wood Release and looks really kind.

I never expected that the Senju clan would produce such a genius. I must meet him properly later.

Thinking of this, Hashirama Senju's face was full of anticipation.

Meanwhile, seeing that the battle had ended, Nara Shikaku, Uchiha Aya, and other Konoha ninjas quickly arrived at the scene.

Filled with excitement, admiration, curiosity, and surprise, the group loudly greeted Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju:

"First generation sir! Second generation sir!"

Haha! Hello everyone!

Seeing this, Hashirama Senju, without the slightest airs, revealed his signature big laugh and waved enthusiastically to the group of Konoha ninja.

Even the usually calm and collected Tobirama Senju smiled and nodded, a rare occurrence for him.

"It really is the First and Second Generation Lords!"

Seeing the genuine responses from the two Konoha Hokage ahead, many Konoha ninjas were instantly thrilled.

For their generation, the First Hokage and the Second Hokage were figures from textbooks. Throughout their time at the Ninja Academy, they were always objects of admiration.

Now that the figures they admired as children have actually appeared before them, one can only imagine their feelings.

So, in the time that followed, the battlefield turned into a lively fan meeting.

Among them, the outgoing Hashirama Senju is always ready to answer any questions from his fans.

After inspecting the area, Tobirama Senju pulled Shikaku aside, whose hairstyle clearly indicated he belonged to the Nara clan and was now very likely the leader of the Jonin class, and inquired about the current situation in Konoha and even the ninja world.

Nara Shikaku did not hide anything and briefly told him about the changes in Konoha and the situation in the ninja world over the years.

After that, Tobirama Senju remained silent for a while and said nothing more.

Not far away, Uchiha Aya, unusually calm compared to the others, withdrew her gaze from Senju Tobirama.

The Uchiha clan generally did not have a very good opinion of this Second Hokage.

After all, the security forces were something he created and that the Third Hokage developed and expanded them, turning them into a prison that had previously confined the Uchiha clan.

However, the Uchiha clan had a greater appreciation for the First Hokage.

Looking at the First Hokage, who remained enthusiastic and approachable, and then glancing at the unconscious Orochimaru on the other side, Aya Uchiha couldn't help but smile.

It wasn't for any other reason, but rather because she suddenly remembered something the Fourth Hokage had once said unintentionally: "Impure World Reincarnation, the technique to fulfill dreams."

She didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence before.

But now, she understands.

......

Soon, with the arrival of Konoha reinforcements led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Naruto fan meeting came to a temporary end.

"First Hokage! Second Hokage!" Seeing that Orochimaru had been dealt with, the First and Second Hokage regained their will, and Hiruzen Sarutobi greeted them with a sigh.

"Long time no see, monkey! You look a lot older!" Hashirama Senju walked over with a big laugh and patted Hiruzen Sarutobi on the shoulder.

"There's nothing I can do; you can't deny getting old. Looking at it now, this is the result of my years of self-cultivation," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a slight smile.

"You've done a great job all these years, Monkey. It wasn't in vain that I chose you as the Third Hokage." Tobirama Senju walked over and patted Hiruzen Sarutobi on the other shoulder.

"The Third Hokage? With my limited talent, I can only say that I barely managed to keep things in order. In fact, everything that Konoha has now is largely thanks to the current Fourth Hokage." Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had long since let go of everything, said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju took it as mere modesty.

However, Tobirama Senju, who had learned some information from Shikaku Nara, understood the true meaning behind Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

"Regardless of the circumstances, you, Monkey, deserve great credit for Konoha's current state," he said earnestly.

“Indeed!” Hashirama Senju echoed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a tremor in his heart.

……

The three Hokage of Konoha continued their conversation.

However, due to the lingering effects of Orochimaru's attack, this reminiscing did not last long.

As he led the people of Konoha back, Hiruzen Sarutobi also hoped that the two Hokage could return to Konoha Village for a visit.

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, who had already planned this, naturally nodded in agreement.

Along the way, Hashirama Senju asked his younger brother curiously, "By the way, Tobirama, do you know the current Fourth Hokage of Konoha?"

In his previous interactions with many Konoha ninjas, he learned that the current Fourth Hokage of Konoha was from the Senju clan and had awakened Wood Release just like himself, which naturally piqued his interest.

He had died young and had never heard of such a person in the clan, so he inquired about his younger brother who had died later.

"I don't know him," Tobirama Senju shook his head.

When he died in battle, Tsunade was just a little kid, and the even younger Fourth Hokage hadn't even been born yet.

However, when Tsunade was mentioned, Tobirama Senju suddenly looked at his older brother and said, "Brother, don't you know that the Fourth Hokage's current wife is Tsunade?"

"What? Tsunade got married?" Hashirama Senju exclaimed in surprise.

He really didn't know.

After all, when he had enthusiastically interacted with many Konoha ninjas before, although he had asked the current Fourth Hokage, he wouldn't idly ask who the other person's wife was.

"Tsunade is still so young..."

Subconsciously, Hashirama Senju, whose memory of his granddaughter was still that of her as a child, blurted out the name.

However, he soon paused again after noticing everything in front of him.

I almost forgot, this is decades later.

"I didn't realize Tsunade was already married!"

At this moment, just as he had felt a profound sense of loss upon learning that the bustling city was Konoha, Hashirama Senju sighed deeply.

Senju Tobirama saw this and, with a smile in his eyes, was about to give his older brother an even bigger surprise.

But then the "surprise" arrived on its own, as it lunged towards its older brother, saying in a clear voice:

"Great-grandfather!!"

Chapter 303 Great-Grandfather?!

"Great-grandfather!!"

The cheerful, crisp voice of a girl rang in Hashirama Senju's ears.

Before he could react, a petite figure suddenly rushed into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

Hashirama Senju instinctively reached out and hugged the little girl who was rushing towards him, then smiled kindly and said, "Little girl, slow down."

"Great-Grandpa!" The little girl, Senju Maki, called out happily in Senju Hashirama's ear as she wrapped her little arms around his neck.

"Grandpa... Grandpa? Me?"

Hashirama Senju was taken aback for a moment before realizing that someone was calling his name.

Could it be...?

With a surprised expression, Hashirama Senju suddenly realized something and quickly pulled the little girl in his arms close to his eyes for a closer look.

Isn't this the little girl who practiced Wood Release with him before?

Instantly, Hashirama Senju's face lit up with excitement.
