In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

"Phew..." Yoriichi finally felt relieved. Suddenly, he sensed a surge of chakra and looked up at the sky.

Sai arrived at the scene riding an Asuka with Suigetsu, Shiro, and Jugo. He was shocked to see the ground charred black by the fire.

Yuan Yi smiled slightly.

"Thank goodness you're all alright..."

"Although we arrived a little late."

Soon, the massive Roots members arrived at the scene. Upon arrival, they were immediately struck by an intense heat wave, which startled the entire army into a halt.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed person spotted Orochimaru, who was as thin as seaweed on the ground, and standing next to him was the disheveled young Uchiha Yoriichi.

"It's Lord Kenshin! Lord Kenshin defeated Orochimaru!"

After everyone realized that the fire was set off by Yoriichi, they immediately lowered their guard and began to cheer.

"We won!"

Chapter 119 The Rebellious Genius

"That fire was really powerful!" Shuiyue exclaimed, looking at Orochimaru, who had turned to charcoal on the ground.

Sai stared in astonishment as Yoriichi removed his mask.

"Lord Kenshin, you're so young...!"

"Lord Kenshin!" The crowd surged, and the members of Root gathered in front of Yoriichi, their faces filled with excitement.

When Yoriichi saw the crowd surrounding him, he tried to put on his mask, only to find that it had already been blasted to pieces...

"Never mind," Yoriichi smiled. "There's no need to hide my identity anymore."

Yoriichi hid his Sharingan, replaced it with a pair of ordinary pupils, and faced the crowd.

"Everyone, the future is uncertain, and we still need to continue our efforts to build our village..."

"Our enemies have not stopped their advance, and the crisis is not truly over."

So, keep trying...

Yoriichi did not deliberately mention the upcoming attack on Kagehiku by Konoha and the Land of Water.

Just reminding everyone to be careful is enough; at least the current crisis has been temporarily resolved.

Yoriichi was a little tired; tonight's battle was anything but easy.

Soon, in the distance, Sai rode a flying bird down from the sky and excitedly came to Yoriichi's side.

"Lord Kenshin, my brother and I have completed the task you assigned us!"

"Well done!" Yoriichi smiled with satisfaction, gently patting Sai on the shoulder, then looked at Haku, Suigetsu, and Jugo beside him.

Soon, Lingyu and Kimimaro walked up to Yoriichi from behind.

"Kimimaro, I'm so glad you're alright." Jugo, still lying on the flying bird, his injuries not fully healed, continued apologetically:

"I lost control of myself earlier and suffered a minor injury."

Kimimaro nodded slightly. "Thankfully, you're all alright..."

Yoriichi smiled as he looked at everyone, but then something occurred to him. His gaze sharpened, and he looked up into the distance.

"You guys keep talking!"

With a "whoosh," the phantom instantly propelled Yoriichi into the air, quickly disappearing from the spot.

Soon, Yoriichi arrived at the foot of the Great Buddha, where Hashirama Senju was.

"Good lad, you still remember us." Tobirama Senju, who was trapped to the side, smiled slightly.

Yoriichi gave a bitter smile, conjured a paper bullet in his hand, and set it ablaze, igniting the Wood Release technique that had trapped Tobirama.

Tobirama quickly broke free of his restraints and stepped out.

"Brother, I think we should be leaving soon too." Tobirama Senju looked at Hashirama Senju beside him, whose body was gradually turning fluorescent.

Obviously, after Orochimaru's death, the traces of the Impure World Reincarnation on the two of them will gradually dissipate.

Hashirama Senju looked at Yoriichi and smiled slightly:

"Although I don't know what your relationship with Konoha Village is, it's actually none of our business anymore."

“Brother, this person has the bloodlines of the Hyuga, Senju, and Uchiha clans, the person the Sage of Six Paths spoke of! How could he possibly have any connection with Konoha…” Tobirama Senju interjected.

"I don't think so," Hashirama Senju shook his head.

Yoriichi smiled without saying a word; he couldn't very well tell Hashirama Senju that he was about to wage war against Konoha.

“Senior God of Ninjas, my ideal is to build an era where there is no longer a need for ninjas and no more war,” Yoriichi said.

"Is that so? Even I couldn't fulfill such a wish." Hashirama Senju smiled bitterly and suddenly looked up.

"However, after witnessing your power, I feel that such a thing may not necessarily be impossible."

"Thank you."

Hashirama Senju nodded slightly.

"Tobirama, we should go," Hashirama Senju said softly.

"Wait a minute, senpai." Yoriichi suddenly called out to Hashirama.

"May I ask... how exactly did you die?"

"Someone as powerful as you, yet the cause of your death remains unknown. It's as if this matter has been completely buried. I want to know, why must the cause of death not be revealed?"

Hashirama Senju smiled. "That's because..."

"Big brother..." Tobirama Senju began, sounding somewhat worried.

"It's okay... Back then, I deliberately concealed the terrible consequences I caused, and that was wrong of me..."

Yoriichi looked at Hashirama Senju as if he had found a treasure; he had wanted to know the answer to this question for a long time.

However, there is no information revealing the cause of Hashirama Senju's death. It can't be that he was killed by kunai, as rumored online.

That's too grotesque...

Yoriichi always felt that there was another reason for Hashirama Senju's death, and it didn't seem like he died of old age.

Although the death of Hashirama Senju could not be revealed casually for the sake of the Land of Fire's safety, the Land of Fire still failed to disclose the cause of death even after other countries learned of it, which has become one of the unsolved mysteries in Naruto.

What exactly... could kill Hashirama Senju?

Moreover...

Yoriichi looked at Hashirama Senju, seeing his worried face, and Yoriichi felt that things were not so simple.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Hashirama's explanation.

Of course, Yoriichi wasn't just satisfying his own curiosity; the power that could kill Hashirama Senju must have been an extremely formidable force.

If he had the chance to acquire that ability... perhaps he could rise to the top in one step and build a new world for the ninja.

—Of course, the prerequisite is to eliminate all the transmigrators first...

And, they recruited the scientist Amado.

"Long ago, Madara and I established the ninja village, became Hokage, captured the tailed beasts and dispersed them among the five great nations, thus creating a peaceful situation for the five great nations."

"Peaceful life is hard-won, and I gradually have my own family, namely Mito Uzumaki of the Land of Whirlpools."

"I fell in love with Mito and we had a son named... Senju Tennis".

Yuan was stunned for a moment. He thought for a moment, since Hashirama had a granddaughter Tsunade, then Tsunade should also have a father. But this matter, like Hashirama's death, is also an unsolved mystery.

"At the time, we didn't want Tianhong to be exposed to the outside world too early, so we were very strict with him every day, hoping he could shoulder the responsibility for the future of the village..."

"But Tianhong didn't have such dreams; he was a child who yearned for freedom and loved to play..."

"He possesses both the Thousand Hands bloodline and the Uzumaki bloodline in his body, making him an absolute training genius. Every day, he would finish my and Mito's tasks ahead of time and then sneak out."

"The first few times were fine, just wandering around Konoha Village..."

"But as he grew older, he became increasingly rebellious. He deliberately knocked out the Konoha guards and ran out to play, not returning for three days and three nights."

"I was furious at the time, but as the Hokage, I couldn't leave the office, so I had to get rid of the ninjas and bring him back."

......

"As a result, an unexpected event occurred..."

"They found Tianhong, but Tianhong didn't want to go back. He... killed the ninja who went to find him."

Chapter 120 The Hunter

Yuan gasped in shock.

“This incident was a huge blow to Mito and me. We decided to lock him up and stop asking him to go out.”

"But there has to be an explanation for this..."

"Mito couldn't bear to hand her son over, so she proposed to return to the Land of Whirlpools to retrieve the Land of Whirlpools' Life Jewel to revive the ninjas. Only then was the matter finally settled."

"But this also made Mito and me realize the seriousness of the matter. Mito and I no longer allowed Tenhong to go out, which was met with fierce resistance from him."

"So that day, I beat him up..."

"That night..." Hashirama Senju sighed softly.

"Tianhong disappeared silently from the house for some unknown reason. He ran away again and stole the Life Jade at the same time."

"After that, Mito and I could no longer find Tianhong."

"Until a few years later, during a riot, Tianhong reappeared in Konoha Village. He burned, killed, and looted like a madman."

"Back then, Mito and I attacked simultaneously, and it was only then that we managed to subdue him. He was only in his early twenties at the time, yet he already possessed the strength of a Kage..."

"Later we learned that he used the Life Jade to complete a transformation in his strength, which, combined with his original talent, allowed him to progress so rapidly."

"At that time, he had already drained the energy accumulated in the Life Jade over hundreds of years. He came here to replenish the Life Jade by killing people and obtaining the life force of everyone."

"We later learned that before this, he had already plundered countless countries and taken the lives of innocent people. He was a vicious bandit in the ninja world at that time."
