Chapter 501: Depression in Silence

"Tell me, Tsuna, what is the current situation of the village? What kind of enemy is it that makes you need to summon us?"

After looking at his elder brother helplessly, Tobirama turned his head and looked directly at Tsunade, speaking in an unprecedented solemn tone.

Tobirama knew very well.

The fact that his granddaughter had to be reborn into them must be a huge crisis. It is very likely that if he is not careful, the village will be in great danger of collapse.

"Yes, second grandfather, this is the case..."

Tsunade took a deep breath, and then told Hashirama, Tobirama and others about the series of things that had happened in the village over the years, including the Nine-Tails Rebellion more than ten years ago, and tried to explain it in the most concise words. Of course, only when it comes to Uzumaki Menma, Tsunade still uses more detailed words to describe it, which is different from Danzo, who will definitely stand from his own perspective to discredit others as much as possible and make extremely favorable explanations for himself.

Tsunade's character destined her to seek truth from facts. Whatever happened, what she knew was the truth, she would say it. One is one, two is two. Tsunade would not hide anything, nor would she add fuel to the fire.

Even if the matter involved her mentor, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Jiraiya, Tsunade still told everything clearly.

Of course, the most important point is that the people standing in front of Tsunade at this moment are her most respected grandfather and second grandfather, especially Tobirama, who is known as the smartest person in the history of their Senju of the Forest.

Want to play tricks in front of Tobirama! ?

Isn't that an old man hanging himself - looking for death! ?

Mitomonen and Utatane Koharu, who were standing aside, were originally planning to say something when Tsunade described some of the decisions of their Konoha F4 in the past, but the moment they met Tobirama's extremely cold expression.

All the courage that emerged in their hearts turned into nothingness.

This is the mentor they once respected and feared the most.

Want to play tricks in front of their teacher! ?

All of them tied together, they can't even touch their teacher.

It's better to be honest.

They don't want to be beaten up by their teacher at such an old age. Don't think this is an exaggeration. Based on their understanding of their teacher, this is something their teacher will definitely do.

Didn't you see that Tobirama's expression has become more and more gloomy and dangerous as Tsunade described it.

The breath has become extremely cold.

The temperature around has dropped a lot.

Let's not talk about the previous mess, but when it comes to Uzumaki Menma, Tobirama really can't stand how there can be such a stupid leader in the world.

The successors he chose are really stupider than each other, and even if you take a step back, if you really do something stupid, you should at least have the ability to suppress the situation and finish it! ?

But he didn't.

Sitting and watching the situation deteriorate infinitely.

Tobirama was really about to be unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

At this moment, even Hashirama put away the smile on his lips.

Hashirama was just a little carefree, but it didn't mean that Hashirama didn't know anything.

Hashirama felt incredible about the things Tsunade described and the crisis that the village was currently facing. With a good hand of cards, the worst situation under normal circumstances is to win less, right? ?

He could actually play so badly! ?

Losing is fine, but losing to the point of bankruptcy, this has nothing to do with gambling luck, it's just that the brain of the card player has a huge defect!

Including Hatake Sakumo on the side, they all showed a very surprised expression. He originally thought that he was expelled from the Impure World War, most likely because of the Ninja World War, the village had to face the siege of several major ninja villages, and the combat power was insufficient, so they needed to come out to help.

Sakumo was also mentally prepared. After all, he was still a member of the Hidden Leaf Village. Sakumo was willing to fight for the village again.

But he really didn't expect that it would be such a situation?

Sakumo couldn't help but look at the Minato couple and Jiraiya, who had already lowered his head sadly. Finally, his eyes were involuntarily fixed on Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was the most shocked and the most unacceptable at the moment.

It should be said that among all the people present at the moment.

The one with the richest expression was the third generation Hokage. It was as wonderful as it could be. He looked so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He really didn't expect that the difference in his mind back then, no, it should even be said that he had always thought it was the right and most appropriate approach.

It would actually lead to a big mistake today.

Or it was a big mistake that was completely irreparable.

Defeat the five major ninja villages! ?

Collected a full seven, no, now it is very likely that there should be nine tailed beasts, and they are about to approach and attempt to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village! ?

This is a joke! ?

Is this a huge lie?

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't believe his ears no matter what.

Jiraiya, who was sitting next to him, had a bitter look on his face and sighed softly, not daring to look at Minato and Kushina on the other side.

Because talk and talk.

All have led to this situation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya are the primary responsible persons.

The former is Kage, and the latter is Minato's mentor.

It was the decision made by these two people that forced another child of Minato to resolutely choose to defect from the village after suffering such a childhood experience, and now he wants to destroy Konoha.

What is this! ?

Minato also looked helpless and embarrassed.

After meeting Menma at that time, Minato was mentally prepared, but he really didn't expect that in just three years, Menma could become so strong. The most important thing is that now between Konoha and Menma problem of time.

Minato is the Hokage of Konoha and Menma's father.

He has already felt sorry for his child. Will he continue to attack his child now?

Even if Minato loved Ninja Village so much and died bearing the name of Kage, he couldn't do this.

Not to mention Kushina on the side.

It can be said that when Tsunade recounted those things, Kushina had a cold expression throughout.

As a mother, it is undoubtedly heartbreaking to see her children fighting fratricide. All of this was caused by people from the Hidden Leaf Village, or people like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya. Yes, Kushina did not fall out directly on the spot, which was considered to be a way of giving face to these so-called elders in the past, as well as to her husband who was the Hokage.

"Monkey, Yan, Xiaochun, you three, you really did a good job!!!"

Tobirama suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the three of them with an extremely cold expression. At this moment, the second-generation Hokage, who was praised internally as the cruelest and most dangerous, really looked like him. He directly pulled out the skins of these three people, including the dead Danzo. Oh, Sarutobi Hiruzen is also dead?

That is still an unpardonable crime!

The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki in the village was treated in this way! ? Moreover, he is the son of the Hokage, and his wife has just sacrificed his life for the village. Is this how the village treats the son of a hero? The most ridiculous thing is that they treat each other differently, how stupid and disgusting it is.

Just forget about one stupid thing after another.

But he doesn't even have the ability to tell the truth.

If you really did something stupid and you could tell the truth and solve the problems that came up, then that would be okay, at least it wouldn't be the worst situation.

But now! ?

Even if they defected with the Kyuubi, only three years later, they could come with the general trend to destroy Konoha?

Tobirama really felt that he was blind in choosing these B-bastards as his disciples to inherit the important responsibilities of the village.

This was clearly audible and full of anger.

"It's our uselessness and our stupidity. Please forgive me, the second generation."

Mito Kadeni and Koharu, both of whom were transferred to the dormitory, panicked and quickly knelt down on one knee. Even the teacher did not dare to shout. It was clear that their teacher was already furious.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a look of fear and guilt on his face, and he also immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Second Generation Sir, everything is my responsibility. It was my wrong decision that led to the current situation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and said bitterly.

It unfolded far beyond what was expected.

Although he felt enlightened when he saw Menma knowing his identity and resolutely defecting before he died, it was impossible to imagine that Menma could become like this in just three years. Strong, killed Jiraiya, defeated Ōnoki, and many Tailed Beast Jinchūriki.

It even integrated the power of Kusagakure and Takigakure, and it was the main force capable of defeating the five great ninja villages.

If Konoha is really going to be destroyed by Menma next.

He was the culprit of everything. It was his behavior in treating Menma and Naruto brothers differently and letting rumors hurt Menma that led to this result.

He is actually the biggest criminal responsible for the destruction of the village.

"Minato, Kushina, I'm sorry for you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also turned to look at Minato and Kushina on the other side, with a very sincere look of guilt, bowed his head and apologized.

It must be viewed from a comprehensive and real perspective.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is really not a person with a "dark nature". If he was really the same type as Danzo, or a darker and more dirty politician, no matter how blind Tobirama was, there was no way he would have chosen Hiruzen as the third generation. Naruto's.

And that "original author who doesn't understand Naruto at all", others set up Sarutobi Hiruzen as a kind and kind Hokage.

It’s just a ‘good guy’ setting.

Therefore, from a fundamental point of view, Sarutobi Hiruzen is an old man who was wise and decisive in the early stage, and then became slow, dull, and indecisive when he entered middle age.

Looking forward and backward, with confused thoughts, in a series of events, one will always avoid most of the right choices and choose the wrong one.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not treat Uzumaki Menma like this by chance alone, but starting from the earlier incident with Hatake Sakumo, the Third Hokage had already begun to enter this kind of 'stupidity' In the state.

After all, it is impossible to explain how he would allow a strong man who was considered a "nuclear bomb deterrent" at that time to be hurt by rumors, and eventually lead to suicide.

Therefore, there is a sentence that is most suitable to describe Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The Third Hokage - Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Either stupid or bad.

And if you want to fully comply with the settings.

The Third Hokage can only be stupid, and he must be so stupid that he has no limit to the sky. This can not only conform to the character setting of this character in the original work, but also solve most of the pitfalls in the original work, although there will still be It seems a little reluctant (after all, some things cannot be described as stupid.)

At least it makes sense.

This is a shadow that gets dumber, more stupid and useless as he gets older.

"Sandaime-sama, you..."

As Minato, who was promoted to the position of the Fourth Hokage by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and who was also a disciple of Jiraiya, Minato naturally understood the character of Hiruzen Sarutobi very well, and also knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi did not really care about his children. What a huge malice, but after all, the facts are still there.

Even if Minato's character wouldn't really say anything cold-hearted to Sarutobi Hiruzen, it would be impossible for him to say something so contrary to his will.

He is still a father after all.

Be a husband.

He must be responsible for his wife and children.

More importantly, he had sacrificed for the village, fulfilled his duty as Hokage, died in battle together with his wife, and used his own child as a container to seal the tailed beast. At least from this aspect, Minato He is already worthy of Konoha and worthy of his identity as Hokage.

However, Minato would tolerate it.

Kushina couldn't do it.

"Sandaime-sama, there is no need for this. We, the couple, cannot bear your apology. Anyway, all this is in the past. It is meaningless to mention these things now. I understand what Tsunade-sama means by calling us out. What is it? However, here we would like to state that we have given everything for Konoha. We are also dead. We do not want to get involved in anything in this world anymore. We will not do anything about it. Anyone, any village does anything, we just want to see our children, and then go back to where we should be. At this point, I hope that Lady Tsunade and several previous Hokages , and the two consultants, and Teacher Jiraiya can understand a little bit."

Kushina stepped forward, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, Tsunade and others in front of her with a cold expression, and said in a calm tone.

Especially when the last person's name is mentioned, the look in his eyes seems to be inadvertent and deliberate.

Jiraiya lowered his head in shame.

He failed to take good care of the two brothers and let them kill each other. It should be said that under this situation.

The person who felt the most guilty and sorry for Minato and his wife was Jiraiya.

You know, the relationship between Minato and Jiraiya is as close as a father and son. Even Naruto's name is taken from the protagonists of Jiraiya's novel, Menma and Naruto. He is a 'grandson' of Jiraiya, but it is because of the so-called Miaomu Mountain prophecy and some arrangements made by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Jiraiya really let it go and didn't bother with Menma's life.

Menma was left to endure tremendous malice and rejection for twelve years, losing all the glory and peace that should have belonged to him.

I have never felt the warmth of family affection at all.

It can be said that in the huge Hidden Leaf Village, Jiraiya is the last person who should do this.

Therefore, at this moment, Jiraiya really did not dare to look at Kushina for a second.
