Trees Chapter 284 Don’t Underestimate Our Hokage!

Hiruzen, who was directing the villagers from a distance, was so angry when he saw his two disciples pulling such a disgraceful act in front of Hashirama and Tobirama. His teeth nearly shattered from gritting in fury.

He clenched his fists tightly, even stomped his feet hard, and shouted with gritted teeth, "Those damned disciples!"

Clearly, Tsunade’s words about how she wasn’t worthy of being a Hokage...

In Hiruzen’s eyes, it was just another excuse to shirk responsibility.

Thinking about how Tsunade had previously swindled the villagers right under his nose, Hiruzen’s expression grew even darker.

And the fact that she had done such absurd things while still in office as Hokage…

If Tsunade were to resign...

Hiruzen didn’t even dare imagine what kind of chaos she might unleash.

"Yo, Saru."

"I almost didn’t recognize you."

Hashirama suddenly appeared behind Hiruzen, first lamenting at the cruelty of time, and then began to call on Hiruzen to help evacuate the villagers...

Because he was preparing to use a large-scale Ninjutsu.

Hiruzen finally looked towards Tsunade's position, and kept shaking his head and sighing.

"Shodaime-sama... there’s actually something I need to tell you."

Just as Hashirama clapped his hands together, he turned around and saw Hiruzen still standing there stupidly. He stopped immediately and waved his hand to urge him, "Saru, what could be more important than rebuilding the village right now?"

"Go and evacuate the villagers."

Hashirama was halfway through his words when he noticed that something was wrong with Hiruzen's expression.

After a moment’s thought, he figured that given the current state of the village, it was understandable for Hiruzen to be so worried.

Hashirama paused for a moment, called out to Hiruzen, who was about to leave, and put on a reassuring 'everything will be fine with me here' expression.

"Don't worry, Saru."

"Seeing Konoha in this state..."

"Tobirama and I won’t just stand by and do nothing."

Hiruzen: “…”

While hearing the First Hokage’s reassurance did bring a sense of security, and his smile was undeniably very contagious…

However...

The real issue was that Konoha’s problems weren’t just about rebuilding the village!!

Hiruzen thought of the various chaos that had occurred in the village recently, and shakily pulled out a bottle of blood pressure medication from his pocket.

At this point, he didn’t care about the dosage, and without any hesitation, he tilted his head back and downed the entire bottle.

Seeing this, Hashirama, who was standing nearby, was utterly baffled.

‘I was just talking to you, what do you mean by suddenly taking out medicine?’

‘Can a body from the Impure World Reincarnation even digest medicine?’

Hashirama's thoughts were in a mess. After a long time, when he saw Hiruzen leave, he clapped his hands and used Wood Release to start a large-scale construction.

On the other side, Sasuke and Tobirama were still locked in a standoff.

Sasuke has never had a good impression of white-haired people, and Tobirama had started off by calling him ‘inherently evil Uchiha’...

The tone of his insults was exactly the same as the one Naruto used when joking with him.

But for some reason...

As soon as the old man Tobirama opened his mouth, Sasuke became angry.

In short, Sasuke could tell that this guy had very strong malice towards him.

He even felt that Tobirama would hate every Uchiha equally.

"Konoha Village doesn't need someone like you!"

Tobirama's eyes were solemn. this Uchiha brat hadn’t possessed the eye of the Sage of Six Paths and a Sharingan similar to Madara’s...

He wouldn’t have felt such killing intent toward him.

After all, he knew all too well the power of the Uchiha Clan, a strength that was immense but came with an extremely unstable psyche.

Moreover, it's hard for Konoha to produce another Shinobi like his oldest brother, but the Uchiha Clan has produced another prodigy...

If the other party decides to destroy the village on a whim, there’d be no one left to stop him.

As the Nidaime Hokage of Konoha, it was his duty to nip this threat in the bud.

It’s a pity that Naruto doesn’t understand what Tobirama is thinking.

Otherwise, he would probably add: ‘This child’s talent is extraordinary. Leaving him alive will only bring disaster.’

"Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Sasuke was genuinely speechless at Tobirama.

He hadn’t done anything, but this old geezer was already hurling insults at him without any justification.

As for the previous trouble, he was at most an accomplice, and the yellow-haired mastermind was still standing nearby.

So why was he the only one getting yelled at??

Sasuke was furious.

Today, he was going to see just how strong this so-called ‘Forbidden Technique Master’, the Nidaime Hokage, really was.

After Tobirama finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, at a speed so fast that an ordinary person wouldn’t have been able to react.

Naruto was a little surprised, because he didn't see clearly when Tobirama had placed the Flying Thunder God’s mark.

The moment Sasuke saw Tobirama disappear, he immediately realized that the other party knew Space-Time Ninjutsu.

If this had been in the past, he would’ve been completely helpless against such a technique. But now...

He would be extremely excited if he saw his opponent using Space-Time Ninjutsu.

There couldn’t be many in the ninja world who could use Space-Time Ninjutsu, but the enemies who know this Ninjutsu must be very confident in their own Ninjutsu and are proud of it.

And for Sasuke...

Nothing excited him more than disabling his enemy’s Space-Time Ninjutsu.

‘Duel Space, activate!’

The moment Tobirama appeared behind Sasuke, Sasuke turned almost at the same time.

The next second, Naruto saw Tobirama and Sasuke vanished into thin air.

Naruto's expression was solemn. He was beginning to worry whether Tobirama would collapse after being beaten up by Sasuke...

With this in mind, Naruto's gaze moved towards Tsunade nearby.

Tsunade was still sitting on the ground, maintaining her earlier tearful appearance.

Seeing that his aunt’s behavior didn’t seem fake, Narutowanted to go up to her and say a few words of concern, and maybe ask how they should handle things once Tobirama got beaten to a pulp.

He walked behind Tsunade and stretched out his finger to poke Tsunade's shoulder.

But before his finger could land, Tsunade, who was still crouched on the ground, suddenly let out a low, eerie chuckle.

"Ohohohohohohohohoho!!”

"This day..."

"This day I've been waiting for has finally come!!"

At this moment, no words could describe the excitement and joy in Tsunade’s heart.

After years of waiting, she had finally thrown off the burden she’d been carrying.

From now on…

She no longer had to worry about the village being short of money, nor did she have to worry about any major crises in the Shinobi World.

And most importantly, she wouldn’t have to deal with the damn Team 7 causing trouble for her anymore.

If anything happened from now on, people could either go bother the two Hokage or turn to the ‘Savior of the Shinobi World’, Nagato.

She, Tsunade, is liberated!

Tsunade stood up, put her hands on her hips, and laughed wildly at the sky.

There was no sign of the fragile, pitiful look she had shown in front of the two elders just now.

Naruto and Kakashi couldn't help but sigh when they saw Tsunade’s behavior.

‘Sigh...’

‘Even after many years have passed, it seems like old man Sandaime had been the more reliable Hokage.’

Both of them were deeply concerned for Konoha’s future.

Swoosh…

Just as Tsunade was leaving, Sasuke and Tobirama reappeared in their original spots.

However, their postures are quite strange...
