Trees Chapter 288 The Sky of Konoha is Finally Getting Bright

"This power…"

"Truly astonishing."

Tobirama spread his hands in front of his eyes, carefully examined them, and found that he had indeed been fully resurrected.

Not only that, but his body was in its prime, just like during his peak years.

While he was very resistant to this kind of thing before, as things like cross-dressing to save Konoha sounded absolutely ridiculous.

But then again.......

Who doesn't want to live again?

"The eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, huh?"

"What a great power!"

Hashirama looked at the red-haired Shinobi in front of him, his expression full of admiration.

"Well then…"

"I’ll take my leave first."

"There’s still a lot of work waiting for me back in the village."

Nagato glanced at the Hokages in front of him, then turned his head to glance at the yellow-haired man, who was in a daze.

At this moment, Naruto's eyes were darting around nervously as he hid behind Jiraiya like a scared puppy.

And standing right in front of him, Hiruzen had a gloomy expression.

Once again, he could feel his blood pressure skyrocketing.

"Naruto!"

"What the hell were you doing!?"

Hiruzen, who had just been resurrected, was furious when he saw this kid.

He is really devastated now.

He originally thought that once the reconstruction of Konoha Village was completed, he could return to the Pure Land and live a leisurely life.

As for resurrection...

He really didn't dare to even think about it.

Tsunade had asked for his opinion some time ago, and in order to avoid being resurrected to be dragged back into this mess, he naturally refused.

He thought that, since there are Shodaime and Nidaime to manage the village...

There was no way they’d come after him, right?

But…

‘GODDAMMIT!!!’

‘How come this is completely different from what we agreed?!’

‘You all clearly said that you would not resurrect me, so why did you drag me back from the Pure Land today?!’

"I just thought... you, Grandpa Sandaime, have been very kind to me..."

"If we can revive Shodaime-sama and Nidaime-sama, why can't we revive you too?"

Tobirama: "…"

Hiruzen: "…"

The two Hokage were speechless.

‘Did anyone care about what we wanted?!’

While Naruto did have a point, and Hiruzen was touched that the kid cared so much about him…

But…

‘Couldn’t you have just left this old man alone?’

"Tobirama, Saru… What’s done is done."

"Let us, the Hokage, work hard together for Konoha Village’s future!"

Hashirama reached out and grabbed the two's shoulders, still with that silly look on his face.

Watching this scene, Tsunade felt as if the dark clouds that had loomed over the Shinobi World for years...

Had finally parted!

Hiruzen couldn’t take it anymore and frantically patted himself down, trying to find the blood pressure medicine on him.

But how could there be something on him after he was freshly resurrected?

"Grandpa!!"

"Grandpa! I'm here!"

Fortunately, Konohamaru, Hiruzen’s good grandson, knew exactly what his grandfather wanted.

The moment he heard about Hiruzen’s resurrection, Konohamaru had rushed to his grandfather’s grave and dug up the entire stash of medicine.

Konohamaru sprinted over, holding a large number of pill bottles in his hands.

Hiruzen was so happy to see that his grandson cared about him so much that he covered his chest and breathed heavily.

A grandson bringing his grandfather medicine should have been heartwarming, but for Hiruzen, the sheer excitement on Konohamaru’s face was downright unsettling.

‘Did this brat enjoy watching me suffer!?’

Hiruzen sighed deeply, glanced at the yellow-haired delinquent beside him, and then glanced at the golden-haired Tsunade.

He really felt that it would not be long before he would be pissed off to death by these people.

‘Sigh…’

‘Orochimaru… Where are you...’

Hiruzen’s thoughts were a tangled mess.

On the surface, the resurrection of Konoha’s past Hokage seemed to be a good thing, but for some reason, Hiruzen always felt that something extremely terrible would happen in the future.

Noticing that four of the five Hokage were now present, Hiruzen turned to Naruto and Tsunade and spoke sternly.

"Naruto..."

"Why didn’t you resurrect Yondaime?"

Hiruzen, who was still worried, finally felt that it would be safest to resurrect Minato and Kushina as well.

At the very least, if Naruto caused any more trouble in the future, his parents would be there to rein him in.

Kakashi immediately understood Hiruzen’s intentions.

Though he had a feeling…

‘Minato-sensei might not be able to control this yellow-haired brat.’

Kakashi sighed and looked up at the now-sealed rift in the sky.

The red seal left by the yellow-haired delinquent is still clearly visible...

"Good question."

Naruto rested his chin on his hand, pretending to ponder deeply.

What he was actually thinking about was how to lure Obito out.

After all, given how many times they’d been tricked before, Obito and Black Zetsu probably wouldn’t fall for it again.

‘If I want to catch that bastard later...’

‘I'm afraid it may be a bit difficult.’

"Sigh!"

Hiruzen shook his head, swallowed the blood pressure medicine in one gulp, and left.

Tobirama took one last look at the two damn brats, then left the scene with Tsunade with mixed feelings.

As for Hashirama, he went back to continue rebuilding the village.

Most of the people at the scene left to help with reconstruction, leaving only the four people from Team 7 behind.

It’s not that the four of them weren’t willing to help …

The main reason was that Hiruzen and Tsunade strictly prohibited their Team 7 from causing trouble.

Naruto and Sasuke squatted on the ground, watching as buildings rose from the earth one after another. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, feeling that Hashirama’s Wood Release was different from Yamato's.

"Kakashi-sensei..."

"What are we supposed to do now?"

Sakura poked Kakashi, who was busy scrolling through his phone.

She couldn’t help feeling guilty.

After all, this disaster was more or less related to her, and she wouldn’t feel right unless she contributed something to the village.

Kakashi's heart tightened when he heard the girl's words.

‘Please…’

‘Can you three please put aside the urge to work hard in your hearts for a moment?!’

Kakashi's head hurt when he thought about how the three guys had nearly caused an interdimensional invasion.

And…

He had a vague recollection of whatever Naruto had thrown into the rifts...

Probably annihilated an entire world.

Kakashi felt really tired just thinking about this.

‘Had it really gotten to the point…’

‘Where the Shinobi World wasn’t enough for you three to wreck?!’

Kakashi buried his face in his hands and sighed.

"Doing nothing would be your greatest contribution to the village."

Sakura had a weird expression when she heard this.

And these words successfully attracted Naruto's attention.

“What the hell are you talking about!”

“What the hell are you talking about!?”

"What’s that supposed to mean, you white-haired slacker?"

Hearing Kakashi’s not-so-subtle implication that they were nothing but troublemakers, Naruto immediately expressed his displeasure.

‘Who was it that dealt with the invaders from the Space-Time Rifts?!’

‘Who was it that sealed those things shut?!’

‘White-haired bum, you actually dare to speak like this?!’

Seeing that head of white hair, Naruto instinctively pulled out a certain black stick from Mount Myoboku.

"N-Naruto?! What are you doing?!"

When Kakashi saw the black stick, his body trembled on reflex.

The painful memories from his youth kept coming back to his mind.

"Enough."

At this time, Sasuke, who was still crouched on the ground, frowned and spoke out to stop the bickering.

He also held up his phone, showing the others the screen.

"What's going on with Kumogakure?"

"Why is Killer B also coming out to start livestreaming?"
