Why did that voice sound so familiar?
When everyone heard the name Tobirama, realization struck all at once.
Wasn't that the God of Shinobi—Senju Hashirama?!
At that moment, everyone was stunned. The voice echoing in their minds seemed to be confirming something again and again…
Senju Tobirama: "Big Brother, what's there to say?"
Senju Hashirama: "It really works! Move farther away from me—yes, a bit farther. Now say it again!"
Senju Tobirama: "How childish, Big Brother."
Senju Hashirama: "Amazing! I can't even see you anymore, but I can still hear what you're saying!"
Tobirama?!
Everyone was shocked once more.
Even Senju Tobirama had appeared?
And their voices were directly echoing in everyone's minds.
Thinking back to the information the sky screen had transmitted earlier, everyone felt at that moment—
This was no simple matter.
Uchiha Madara: "You two are too noisy. Shut up!"
Senju Hashirama: "Madara's here too? Long time no see! Which district of the Pure Land are you living in? I'll come visit you!"
Uchiha Madara: "Hmph. Want to fight me again? Come on! Come on!"
Yagura Karatachi: "Madara! Weren't you dead? Then why could you still use the Sharingan to control me and carry out the Bloody Mist policy? That was never my will!!!"
In the real world, all the shinobi were shaken.
There was something like that?!
The Bloody Mist policy wasn't voluntarily carried out by the Fourth Mizukage—it was mind control?!
But Madara was already dead!
Then how could he still control the Mizukage?
The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
Mei Terumī: "Madara, answer me! Was it you or not? Have you… been resurrected?"
Resurrected?
Everyone's hearts jolted.
If Madara had truly been resurrected, who could possibly stop him now?
With that personality of his—
It would be a disaster for the entire shinobi world!
Senju Hashirama: "Madara, you've been resurrected? Really?!"
Senju Tobirama: "Resurrected? Was it Impure World Reincarnation?!"
At this moment, Uchiha Madara wished he could smash that screen into pieces.
This was absurd—whether he spoke or stayed silent, he couldn't win.
After a brief silence, Madara spoke irritably—
Uchiha Madara: "I'm not resurrected! If I were, the first thing I'd do is destroy Konoha!"
Tsunade, in tears, cried out:
"Grandfather? Grandpa! Konoha… was destroyed under my watch!"
"…"
Senju Hashirama: "Tsunade? Is that you? It's okay, don't cry! Madara—still saying you're not resurrected?! Give me your location, I'll beat you flat!"
Senju Tobirama: "I knew it. The Uchiha clan can't be trusted. Sooner or later, Konoha would be destroyed by them!"
Uchiha Madara was speechless.
I'm not resurrected!
I didn't destroy Konoha!
What exactly is going on here?!
Uchiha Madara: "Whoever destroyed Konoha, step forward! I'm not taking the blame!"
Nagato: "I destroyed Konoha. If Madara hasn't been resurrected, then who was the one impersonating you? What are they planning?!"
???
Uchiha Obito was on the verge of losing his mind.
What the hell was going on?!
Konoha had been destroyed. Once the Nine-Tails was captured, everything would be complete. Rin would return to this world.
So why was this sudden complication happening?!
Fourth Raikage A: "Konoha was destroyed? Is that true?!"
Ōnoki: "Nagato? I've never heard of this person."
Mei Terumī: "Can you hear me? Can you hear me?!"
Gaara: "Is Naruto alright?"
Hidan: "Hahaha! Leader's amazing! Sacrifice them all—especially that sleepy brat!"
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly echoed once more in everyone's minds.
[Ding! Dual viewing content loaded!]
[Ding! About to begin playback…]
[Ding! Countdown starting…]
[10…]
[9…]
[8…]
…
As the countdown echoed, the massive screen spanning the sky flickered, as if issuing a warning.
Soon, the red half of the screen dimmed, while the white half gradually lit up!
[3…]
[2…]
[1…]
[Viewing begins…]
The moment the countdown ended, a clear image appeared on the white screen.
[Before the outbreak of the Second Shinobi World War.]
[Civilians of Amegakure carried their belongings, trudging through mud and torrential rain as they fled the Land of Rain in panic.]
[With the war beginning, the Land of Rain became a battlefield for the great nations. Ruins and devastation were everywhere.]
[On a stormy night filled with thunder and lightning, a thin red-haired boy, around seven or eight years old, panted heavily in fear. Thankfully, his parents stood beside him, shielding him protectively.]
Fourth Raikage A: "Who is that boy? Red hair… a member of the Uzumaki clan?"
Uchiha Madara: "Why are they showing someone from the Uzumaki clan? Does my Uchiha clan have no presence?!"
Hanzō of the Salamander: "That boy is Nagato. The organization he founded is the Akatsuki!"
Ōnoki: "Were you killed by the Akatsuki?"
Hanzō of the Salamander: "More precisely, by the Akatsuki led by Nagato."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Nagato? The same Nagato who destroyed Konoha? I told Danzō long ago to eliminate him, but he never listened!"
Danzō: "..."
When the hell did you ever say that?!
Now that Konoha's been destroyed, you're blaming me?!
Hiruzen Sarutobi—you're truly shameless!
Senju Hashirama: "Oh, so that boy is Nagato? He's the one who destroyed Konoha? What kind of deep hatred could drive him to that?"
Nagato: "Is this… my past? What kind of pain did I endure? Watch carefully, all of you."
