Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 What Are You Protecting?

Seeing the vanishing figure of 'Uchiha Izuna', Senju Tobirama's expression was particularly conflicted.

He analyzed the current situation.

"Izuna was resurrected by someone unknown and obtained a special physique."

"But it seems like he hasn't regained his peak strength yet."

"Furthermore, he seems not to know the current situation in the ninja world, let alone that Uchiha Madara is dead."

Thinking of this, Tobirama's expression became serious.

"If he knows that Uchiha Madara was killed by his elder brother, then Konoha will..."

He knew very well what kind of unhinged character the Uchiha clan has. If Izuna knew what happened to Uchiha Madara, he would definitely go berserk.

"No, Uchiha Izuna, I will never allow you to do anything to that harms Konoha."

Tobirama clenched his fists.

"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time. Even if I can't kill you, I will seal you!"

He vowed that he would never die easily. He would safeguard Konoha and would never allow the village built by his elder brother to be ravaged by Uchiha Izuna.

amusingly, he would never have imagined in his wildest dreams that Uchiha Izuna was not resurrected at all.

The one who came to save him was an impostor.

Yellow Sand Tomb Tomb.

Hahaha, what a bumper harvest, what a bumper harvest.

Sitting on the grass, Tetsuya, who had recovered from his chest injury, played with these Six Paths blades.

He judges that the most useful weapons are the Seven-Star Sword and the Banana Fan.

These two things are simple and crude, pretty straightforward to handle.

"It's a pity, these things all belong to 'Izuna', I don't have the chance to use them openly."

Looking at the four Noble Phantasms on the ground, Tetsuya sighed.

"But considering the time, the war should be concluded."

Thinking about it, he took out the scroll and collected everything on the ground.

"Huang Bai, it's time for me to return."

Hearing Tetsuya's voice, Huang Bai also appeared in front of him.

"Are you going back?"

"Well, there's almost nothing to be gained. The war should be over, so should this actual combat training."

Huang Bai looked at Tetsuya and nodded.

"It's time to end. After this war, you have matured a lot."

Huang Bai has been with Tetsuya ever since the battle began. He has witnessed Tetsuya's growth with his own eyes.

From a novice who would tremble when killing people, he has grown to the point where he can join forces with the Shadow of a Village to deal with two pseudo-tailed beast Jinchūriki.

This kind of growth is praise worthy.

"Hey, hey, it's not bad, it's all thanks to Huang Bai's teachings."

"Huh, what a glib tongue."

Huang Bai laughed, who doesn't like to be flattered.

Konoha, Hokage Building.

The Hokage escorts who had escaped, as well as the heads of the major ninja families gathered here.

Their eyes fell on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

What a f*cking joke, the Hokage escort needed the Hokage's sacrifice to allow them to escape.

Are you the Hokage's bodyguards, or is the Hokage the bodyguards for you escorts?

to make things worse, The Second Hokage handed over the position of Hokage to you.

What a joke.

The Uchiha clan, who had a great obsession with the position of Hokage, was the first to ask.

"You said that on the battlefield, the position of Second Generation Hokage was passed to you Sarutobi Hiruzen? What evidence do you have to prove your claim!"

Facing Uchiha's questioning.

Shimura Danzo showed disgust, as did several others.

As Tobirama's students, they share the same dislike for Uchiha.

"Huh, this is what the teacher said himself, and we are all witnesses!"

The leader of the Hyuga clan sneered.

"Hmph, who knows if you are colluding to deceive others. Although you are Lord Tobirama's students, you are also his bodyguards."

The meaning behind his words hinted at his absurdity. You are guards. The target you need to protect has sacrificed himself to protect you. Who exactly is protecting who?

Many clan leaders began to question Hiruzen Sarutobi, of course there were some who remained neutral, such as the Ino, Shika, and Chō families.

While everyone was arguing, the door to Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open.

When everyone saw clearly who was at the door, the entire office fell silent.

"What are you all arguing about?"

Tobirama looked at the heads of each family and his own students and couldn't help but scold them.

"Teacher!"*4

"Tobirama-sama!"*N

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately stood up from the main seat and gave up his position.

Seeing Tobirama, he was both ecstatic yet regretful.

I feel glad that my teacher is still alive, yet I feel regret that I may not be able to take the position of Hokage for the time being.

"Monkey, it's been so long and you still haven't led the village to settle down. You dissapoint me too much."

Tobirama went straight to the Hokage's seat and sat down. He was a little dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance.

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but lower his head, Danzo was a little happy in his heart.

This monkey made the teacher dissatisfied, so wouldn't he still have a chance?

On the battlefield, when Tobirama said he wanted to leave someone behind to stabilise the rear, he actually wanted to volunteer.

But in the end, he hesitated for a second, which allowed Sarutobi Hiruzen to volunteer first, causing him to miss the Hokage position.

Fortunately, Teacher Tobirama is back now, preventing Hiruzen from rising as the Hokage for the time being. As long as he has gotten truly elected, he could still fight for it.

Tobirama looked solemnly at everyone and said.

"I did say that I would pass the position of Hokage to Hiruzen. Do any of you have conflicting opinions?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became silent.

Tobirama's reputation was stellar that even the Uchiha clan stayed quiet.

"Judging from what happened today, Hiruzen, you are not yet ready to take over my position."

"The teacher hath spoken."

Sarutobi Hiruzen bowed his head honestly.

Tobirama glanced at him, then turned to look at the other people in the village.

"Well, since everyone is here, let us handle the aftermath. The war has come to an end. Next..."

Senju Tobirama's return is undoubtedly an unexpected thing. Citizens of Konoha cheered, reversing the gloomy atmosphere moments before.

Soon, news came from kumogakure.

Gold Horn and Silver Horn died, and the rebellion in kumogakure Village ceased.

The Third Raikage came to power and wanted to renew the treaty with Konoha.

Tobirama also agreed, but this time the peace talks must be led by Konoha, and it is a certainty that kumogakure will bleed heavily.

As favorable as these terms were to Konoha, it have nothing to do with Tetsuya.

Tetsuya, who returned to Konoha, layed on the bed.

"I'm so exhausted, I can finally take a rest."

"Hahu~!"

He had a hunch and thought of something.

"What would happen if I really resurrected Uchiha Izuna?"
