Seeing the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, supporting him, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a wave of emotion…
"I'm fine, Lord First!"
Hashirama grinned goofily at his words…
"Good to hear! Since you're okay, how about I spar with you a bit!
Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!!!"
Boom!!!!
Hiruzen was sent flying in an instant, his mind blank as he soared through the air. He had thought the First Hokage was concerned for him, but nope—Hashirama just wanted to beat him up!
Before Hiruzen could even process what was happening, a voice rang out beside him!
"Flying Thunder God Technique!!!
Here's a kidney shot!!!"
Boom!!!
As Hiruzen hurtled through the air, all he could make out was a flash of yellow hair before he was redirected, flying off in another direction.
"Heh heh heh heh heh heh… Susano'o!!!"
Fugaku Uchiha took his turn, batting Hiruzen like a ball, sending him spinning in yet another direction!
"Adamantine Sealing Chains!!!"
"Earth Release: Mud River!!!"
"Susano'o!!!"
"…"
And so, the group ganging up on Hiruzen Sarutobi began, each taking their turn. Hirofumi Ito watched anxiously. He had just spent a billion wealth points to revive Hiruzen—don't tell him they were going to kill him again right after!
If they did, he'd have to spend another fifty million to bring him back!
Thankfully, the group seemed to hold back just enough. Hiruzen looked battered and bruised, but there were no fatal injuries.
That is, until Hashirama got a bit too excited!
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!!!"
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!!
Hiruzen Sarutobi, deceased!
The freshly revived Third Hokage was reduced to a soul flame once again.
This marked the first time everyone in the summoning space, including Hirofumi, saw what happened when someone revived via summoning died again.
Instead of leaving a body, Hiruzen's corpse transformed entirely into a soul flame…
The soul flame didn't return to the afterlife but remained in the summoning space.
Hirofumi already knew this from the system's explanation—summoned beasts' soul flames stayed in his summoning space upon death, which acted like another afterlife.
What he hadn't expected was the lack of a body…
The whole corpse turning into a soul flame was pretty wild…
But the next moment, Hirofumi put on a pained expression. Fifty million wealth points!!!
Sure, reviving someone he'd already summoned only cost half price, but fifty million was still a fortune!
Damn it!
He'd make Hashirama pay him back tenfold later!!!
And that old geezer Hiruzen! Making him spend a billion and fifty million!
Unacceptable!!!
He'd make Hiruzen pay him back double! The Sarutobi clan was loaded, right? A few billion shouldn't be a problem!
Meanwhile, atop his massive Buddha statue, Hashirama scratched his head awkwardly…
He'd thought the little monkey was tougher, so he might've gone a bit overboard. He only used two of the thousand arms behind the Buddha, but who knew Hiruzen would be that weak?!
Just two arms, and he was dead?!
Madara could tank all thousand arms!
What a weakling!
Everyone stared awkwardly at the soul flame floating before them, their gazes shifting to Hirofumi.
"Hahaha…" Hashirama scratched his head again, chuckling nervously.
"Hey, Hirofumi… uh… oops… I kinda accidentally killed the monkey…"
"No big deal… just make sure you pay me back later!"
Hirofumi approached the soul flame, speaking casually.
Truthfully, this was his first time observing a soul flame up close. Usually, they appeared in the summoning array and immediately took human form…
Looking at the white flame, Hirofumi reached out and poked it.
No heat, no sensation—like poking a puff of air…
Pretty fascinating!
"Summoning Technique!!!!"
Hirofumi could sense that, even though Hiruzen was dead, his soul flame remained in the summoning space, so he could still tap into Hiruzen's chakra. He just couldn't summon him fully.
"System! Spend fifty million wealth points to summon Hiruzen Sarutobi!"
[Wealth points consumed! Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned successfully!]
Boom!!!!
A golden array appeared, and the white soul flame transformed back into Hiruzen Sarutobi…
The moment he materialized, Hiruzen's eyes snapped open, filled with terror!
Hashirama, still embarrassed, waved awkwardly at him.
"Uh… little monkey…"
"Lord First! I was wrong!!! I know I've made so many mistakes! I've thought it through! I wasn't a good Hokage! I really know I messed up!!!"
Hiruzen scrambled back in panic.
Hashirama just gave an awkward smile…
"Uh… I didn't mean to kill you.
I just heard you were the strongest Hokage in the Hidden Leaf.
So I got a little excited and wanted to test your strength! Didn't expect that I'd get carried away and… poof, you were gone…"
Hearing this, Madara Uchiha, who hadn't joined in earlier, raised an eyebrow and fixed a piercing stare on Hiruzen.
"Speaking of which, I almost forgot—you called yourself the strongest Hokage?! Well, I'd like to test the strength of this so-called strongest Hokage!!!"
Boom!!!!
A loud crash rang out—not from Madara attacking, but from Hiruzen dropping to his knees!
"Lord Madara!!! Please, let me explain!!!
When I said I was the strongest Hokage, there's a reason…
Think about it!
The First Hokage used Wood Release!
The Second Hokage, my teacher, used Water Release and forbidden techniques!
The Fourth Hokage, Minato, used the Flying Thunder God Technique!
But among all four Hokages, I'm the only one who chose to use Fire Release, so I shamelessly called myself the strongest Hokage…
Please, I'm just a young guy who didn't know better—spare me!!!"
Hiruzen had no desire to experience death again. Even though he could be revived, the pain and despair of dying were all too real—especially since he'd just been pummeled to death!
He could still feel himself being crushed into paste…
And technically, he wasn't wrong. Sure, he wasn't exactly young, but Madara was way older!
In front of Madara, he was just a kid…
How could a grown man get mad at a kid, right?!
