Trees Chapter 300 Hashirama's First Mental Breakdown

Shikamaru spent the entire afternoon chatting in the Hokage's Office, during which both of them had to take multiple bathroom breaks.

In the end, Tobirama finally figured out how these two organizations with great ambitions were somehow connected to that yellow-haired delinquent.

And this time, it even involved Tsunade's apprentice, Haruno Sakura.

Shikamaru stood in the office, feeling a little uneasy.

He had come clean about the two cults, but deliberately avoided mentioning all the incidents Team 7 had been involved in over the years.

Although those world-destroying crises were more or less related to them to some extent, Shikamaru felt that these situations were not initiated by Team 7.

After all...

Given their strength, if they really wanted to cause trouble, no one could stop them anyway.

Plus, there are just too many incidents that they cannot be finished in a short time.

But even so, Tobirama was able to get a lot of information from it.

For example...

Konoha’s Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura were the nominal are leaders of these two organizations.

In the past, these groups were labeled as evil cults, but over the years, they have turned over a new leaf and become role models in the Shinobi World, rivaling even the Akatsuki.

But!

Tobirama was convinced this was all a facade!

He had glimpsed the truth.

Whether it was the Cult Mechanicus’s belief in mechanical ascension or the Scientific Truth Society’s goal of eradicating Chakra...

These were the core tenets embedded in their very bones.

Tobirama didn’t even dare to imagine it.

‘These two organizations were far more terrifying than that inherently evil Uchiha Madara.’

‘Or perhaps...’

‘The mastermind behind it all was an Uchiha!’

Tobirama massaged his temples. He felt that he could afford to speculate even more boldly...

‘If even deceased Hokages like us could be revived, then Uchiha Madara’s resurrection wasn’t out of the question either.’

Bang…

When Tobirama thought of this, he slammed his fist on the desk in excitement.

‘I’ve got it!’

‘It must be Uchiha Madara pulling the strings behind the scenes, trying to destroy the world!’

Shikamaru stood frozen in place, watching as the Second Hokage alternated between excited desk-slamming and muttering to himself. He couldn’t help but think that he needed to send some blood pressure medication to Tobirama later.

"Alright."

"You can go now."

Having pieced together his theory, Tobirama waved his hand, signaling Shikamaru to leave.

But before Shikamaru could take more than a few steps, Tobirama called him back.

"Continue your undercover mission as planned."

"And one more thing..."

"What was discussed today stays between us. Understood?"

Shikamaru nodded and then left the Hokage Tower.

Tobirama stood by the window of the Hokage’s Office, gazing at a certain ruined area in the village. After thinking for a while, he called an Anbu to his side.

"Send Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke out of the village immediately."

"Any mission will do… just get them out of here!"

When the Anbu’s member heard Tobirama’s order, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

‘Damn it!’

‘Sir, please don’t do this!’

"What are you standing around for!?”

"Do my words carry no weight at all!?"

When Tobirama saw the Anbu’s member still standing stupidly in the office, he immediately remembered the scene where he was blatantly ignored by the few guys in the office just now, and his anger flared up again.

"Yes! Nidaime-sama!"

Seeing the Hokage getting angry, the Anbu’s member quickly stood at attention and bowed, then left the office while filled with dread.

He really wanted to remind Tobirama...

But looking at the angry look on his face, the Anbu’s member was really worried that he would be beaten away by the other party with Water Release Ninjutsu as soon as he opened his mouth to say a word.

‘Sigh...’

‘Nidaime-sama is still too inexperienced...’

The Anbu’s member had no choice but to find a random mission, which was in other country.

‘Maybe if those two troublemakers were sent far enough away, there won't be any problems...’

…

The next day.

With sponsorship from Hashirama and the Cult Mechanicus, Shikamaru’s family’s arcade held another grand reopening event at dawn.

This time, the scale was several times larger than before, so Shikamaru directly changed the name of the store to Shika Arcade City...

"Grandpa!"

"I’m just here to look around... Don’t hit me!"

"Little bro Hashirama, save me!"

At the entrance of the arcade, Konohamaru held the recharge card to his chest and kept dodging Hiruzen’s stick.

"You brat! Get back here!"

"Stop embarrassing me like this!"

Hiruzen covered his chest, gasping for breath while chasing his grandson. He stopped to rest for a while and glared fiercely at Asuma, who was watching the fun nearby.

"You get back here too!"

Asuma: “...”

Meanwhile, Naruto and Sasuke stood at the entrance, their foreheads pressed together, their eyes looking as if they could produce flames.

"Tch! You want to go again?!"

"I've asked Sasori to send out Kurosaki Ichigo… This time, I promise to beat you to pieces!"

Sasuke knew Naruto too well, so he knew exactly how to provoke his anger.

With a smirk, he took a step back, put his hands in his pockets, tilted his head and spat to the side.

"Oh, you’re so good."

"Did you secretly modify the data?"

Naruto stared at Sasuke in disbelief, wondering if he’d misheard.

‘This kid...’

‘How dare he dare talk to me like that?!’

"Tch! Thin Ice Bro!"

Naruto was so angry that he took out the Black Coffin covered with eyes on the spot, then also called out to the Immortal Emperor Kurama in his heart.

He was going all out to show Sasuke who the real boss was!

"Immortal Emperor! The fight has begun."

"Put your phone down now!"

But the Immortal Emperor Kurama was currently playing a game and was completely absorbed in his match. He had no time to pay attention to Naruto.

Without even raising his head, he shouted to Naruto in a low voice, "No time."

"If you want to fight, just fight him yourself."

With a final tap, the Immortal Emperor Kurama controlled Ichigo and instantly wiped out his opponent’s health bar.

Seeing the ‘VICTORY’ screen, he slapped his belly and burst into laughter.

"HAHAHAHAHA!”

"What Senju Hashirama! He’s absolute trash!"

Outside, Naruto was still arguing with Sasuke.

It’s not that Naruto didn’t want to fight, but the main reason was that the arcade had just opened today, so he had to give his High Priest some face.

Just as the two were about to call a truce, Hashirama suddenly roared and smashed his brand-new phone against the ground.

"AAAAAAHHH!!!"

"Damn it! DAMN IT!"

Hashirama was on the verge of a breakdown.

When he got back last night, he was thrilled to see his own character added to the game, so he had happily played a few rounds.

But by the third match...

A person with the ID of ‘NineImmortalEmperor’ kept spamming him with duel invites.

Hashirama became instantly excited when he saw someone wanted to challenge him in the game.

Although he couldn’t beat the younger generation before, that was all because the Yamato in the game was not strong enough.

But now that he’s using his own character, Hashirama is determined to beat the opponent so hard that they will doubt their life.

However, from late last night until now...

He never won a single match!!

If that was all, Hashirama wouldn't be so angry.

The main reason is that the other party had also added him as a friend just to keep trash-talking him… calling him ‘Trash of Shinobi’, ‘Hashirama? More like Hashi-trash’, and other taunts.

Hashirama was already angry because he lost the games, and when faced with this person's ridicule, he completely lost it.

"Damn it!"

"Naruto, come here."

"You said this game was yours, right?"
