Thanks to the presence of Tsunade and Lei Luo's identity as Hokage, Senju Tobirama did not refuse to help. After asking about the situation, although his attitude was a little unhappy, he still agreed patiently.
.
After all, as the second generation Hokage, even if Senju Tobirama scolded Lei Luo and others for being incompetent and needing to rely on the strength of their seniors to win the war, how could he ignore it when the village was really in danger?
On this point, the concepts of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama are the same.
Of course, as ninjas who fought during the Warring States Period, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama did not completely believe Lei Luo's words. After a brief communication with Tsunade, the two immediately expressed that they wanted to go out and see the current situation.
Konoha.
Hearing is false and seeing is belief. This idea is understandable. Lei Luo did not stop it and agreed very decisively. After all, Konoha is still the same Konoha. You can tell others everything.
If you like Naruto, just watch it.
After the matter was settled, in order not to scare the villagers, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama put on a cloak to cover their bodies, and put on a mask, dressing up like a root ninja, and they were ready.
Lei Luo did not follow the two Hokages around. He still had many things to deal with. He casually left the time coordinates in the bodies of Senju Hashirama and the two, agreed on a time to meet again, and then left.
The cracking work of the "anti-Rayluo Device" cannot be done by one person, Senju Tobirama, as that would be too slow. Leiluo's idea is to gather the existing high-end talents in Konoha to work together on this project.
So, he went to gather people.
The perspective turned to Tsunade. She accompanied her two grandfathers out of the scientific research institute, passed through the forest of death, and came to Konoha Village. They walked and chatted on the wide street.
At the right time, the wind is gentle and the sun is bright, the sky is clear and the air is clear.
The environment in Konoha is still about the same as usual, harmonious, peaceful, and happy. Residents are doing their jobs, and people are coming and going on the streets. It seems that there is no atmosphere of war.
"It feels like the village has changed a lot."
Along the way, Senju Hashirama kept observing the surroundings, always pausing his gaze at those tall buildings, showing a curious look. Although Senju Tobirama was a little more reserved, his attitude was similar.
Hidden by the mask, Tsunade couldn't see the expressions of the two grandfathers, but she could still detect two clues from their movements, so she shrugged her shoulders and sighed:
"It's quite big. Since Lei Luo came to power, there has been a lot of construction and expansion of the village several times. Today's Konoha is more like a city than a ninja village."
Hearing this, Senju Hashirama unconsciously looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw that the walled area was far away from him. Although he could not estimate the exact distance, he could still roughly tell...
Konoha is definitely much bigger than when he was alive.
Under the mask, Senju Hashirama smiled with satisfaction. Based on the information he had collected so far, he had an impression of Lei Luo: he valued people's livelihood and development, so he should be a good Hokage.
"Tsuna, since Lei Luo is the Fourth Hokage, that means Sarutobi has retired, right? What year is it now?"
Senju Tobirama was also observing the surrounding environment. Seeing that the situation in Konoha was indeed much better than before, he felt a little relieved. Thinking of his apprentice, he couldn't help but ask.
"Sarutobi-sensei..."
Tsunade's face changed slightly, and her expression was a little tangled, as if she didn't know how to answer. She wanted to help Lei Luo hide something, but because she was not prepared in advance, she was inevitably speechless for a while.
"Sarutobi-sensei... his mental state was a little abnormal due to the illness. He knew that he could no longer be Hokage, so... he voluntarily gave up the position of Hokage to Lei Luo."
The hesitant words not only made Senju Tobirama suspicious, but also attracted Senju Hashirama's attention. The two Hokages stopped at the same time and looked at Tsunade.
"Xiao Gang, what is going on? Just tell the truth."
Senju Tobirama stared at Tsunade with serious eyes.
Senju Hashirama patted Tsunade on the shoulder and said in a slower tone:
"Don't worry, as the dead, we will not interfere in the present world wantonly."
"Besides, the current environment of the village is very good, even better than when the two of us were alive. This is enough. No matter what happens to Monkey, we will not be in trouble with Konoha now."
Under the gazes of the two grandfathers, Tsunade felt the pressure was as heavy as two mountains. She thought rapidly in her mind. Finally, she gritted her teeth and told the truth intermittently as if she was willing to give it all.
Tsunade knew what the two grandfathers wanted to hear, so she simply mentioned the changes in the situation in the Ninja world after Senju Tobirama's death, and then talked about the Second Ninja War. She mentioned Lei Luo's past and Danzo's past.
There is also the past of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Starting from the initial conflict between the three parties, we gradually talked about Lei Luo taking control of the military with the help of Danzo, and then he defeated Sunagakure to gain prestige, and then talked about Sarutobi Hiruzen colluding with foreign enemies, and the final coup.
Listening quietly to Tsunade's narration of these historical events, from the 12th year of Konoha to the current 46th year, the expressions of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama also kept changing, some were surprised, some were angry, and some were
Sluggish and complicated.
Lei Luo...
He was born as a civilian ninja, but he was able to reach where he is today by his own efforts. The history of the Fourth Hokage's rise to power is simply a history of struggle. Senju Tobi's fists clenched unconsciously.
Then, he weakly let go.
As the Hokage who came to power through a coup, Senju Tobirama was originally full of anger towards him, but when he heard that the evidence of Sarutobi Hiruzen's crime was so conclusive that he could not allow any excuse, he felt dissatisfaction in his heart that iron could not become steel, but also the sadness of witnessing his apprentice's misfortune.
.
He raised his head and looked around, looking at the village with tall buildings, the wide and flat avenues, and the residents living in harmony with each other. A faint sense of confusion rose in Qianshou Feijian's eyes.
"This is generally the case with Sarutobi-sensei. Although he is still alive, in my opinion, he is no different from being dead, whether from his own perspective or from the perspective of the outside world. This may be the case."
There are three times of human death.
The first time is when the heart stops beating, which is death from a biological perspective. The second time is at the funeral, when people I know come to pay their respects, which is death from a social perspective. The third time is when the last person I remember dies, which is a complete death.
's disappearance.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi is still alive, as Lei Luo came to power, his influence decreased year by year, and his image continued to fade among the villagers and ninjas. Isn't this a kind of social disappearance?
With a sigh, Tsunade raised her head and looked at the Hokage Rock in the distance. Her eyes stayed on the third rock statue. Her eyes were lonely and melancholy... Yes, in Konoha now, who else can remember the third generation?
