Trees Chapter 283 Tobirama Has Not Realized The Severity of The Problem

Upon hearing this, Tobirama also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Konoha has obviously encountered a strong enemy at this moment.

He glared at the two damn brats, crossed his arms, and suppressed his anger for the sake of the bigger picture.

"Tsunade, where are the enemies?"

Tobirama said in a cold voice, and began to wonder in his mind whether Kumogakure had launched another attack on Konoha.

When Tsunade heard her grand-uncle’s question, sweat instantly broke out on her forehead, droplets even falling to the ground.

She fell silent, not knowing how to explain.

‘Should I tell them...’

‘That the entire Shinobi World had been razed by a group of silver puppets?’

‘And that Konoha, the village they had poured their hearts into, had already been bombed into a crater?’

‘Oh, and not just Konoha… other places were pretty much in the same condition.’

"What's wrong, Tsunade?"

When Hashirama saw Tsunade's troubled expression, a person immediately came to his mind, ‘Madara?’

‘Could it be that Madara was resurrected and is trying to destroy the world?’

Hashirama knew that the only ones capable of reducing the battlefield to such a wasteland...

Aside from Uchiha Madara, it would have to be himself.

Coupled with Tsunade's fearful and hesitant demeanor, Hashirama grew even more convinced of his speculation.

‘No doubt about it!’

‘This had to be it!’

‘Madara must have used some mysterious technique to resurrect himself.’

‘And now, he was preparing to wage war against the entire Shinobi World!’

Tsunade still didn't reply, as she really didn't know where to even begin explaining.

And besides...

She had a strong feeling that Team 7 was somehow involved in this mess.

Because she...had seen Naruto's handwriting on the mission scroll before...

And comparing it to the red words in the cracks, she was about 80% sure that this crisis was yet another one caused by Team 7.

‘Damn it!’

‘What on earth does Team 7 want?’

Tsunade was genuinely on the verge of a breakdown.

"Tsuna-chan, just tell me..."

"Is this because of that guy, Madara?"

Tobirama: “?”

Tsunade: “??”

Naruto: “???”

When Hashirama saw that his granddaughter still did not respond, he stepped forward anxiously and asked, with wisdom gleaming in his eyes.

Everyone present was instantly dumbfounded by Hashirama’s words.

They wondered what the hell was he talking about.

Obviously, they just want him to come out to help with the reconstruction...

Who would’ve thought that the moment Hashirama was summoned, he’d start talking to everyone on a completely different wavelength?

And he just kept going on and on about Madara this, Madara that.

But among these people, only Naruto understood the weight of Hashirama's words.

‘Damn it!’

‘Wasn’t Hashirama supposed to be a bit slow in the head???’

‘How did he immediately see through Uchiha Madara’s years-long schemes?!’

‘This didn’t make any sense!’

Tsunade watched as her grandfather rambled on about countering Uchiha Madara and how only he could stop that guy...

As if it were all fate’s arrangement.

"Um... Grandpa."

After listening to Hashirama’s lengthy rant, Tsunade didn't want to interrupt his interest, but for the sake of Konoha, she had no choice but to cut in.

"Is there a possibility that... that the place we’re standing on right now... is Konoha Village..."

When the members of Team 7 heard Tsunade talk about this, they somehow felt guilty and took a step back at the same time.

It was as if he was saying that this matter had nothing to do with their Team 7.

Hashirama had mentally prepared his speech when for facing Madara, and Tobirama was ready to wait for his older brother to speak, and he would follow up with his usual ‘inherently evil Uchiha’.

But when the two Senju Elders heard that the place they were standing on was Konoha Village, they were dumbfounded.

As two of the most experienced figures in the Shinobi World, their knowledge far surpassed 90% of this world’s population.

But...

‘You’re telling me this wasteland beneath our feet was Konoha Village?’

‘Are you sure this isn’t some frontline battlefield???’

Hashirama and Tobirama stood frozen in place, utterly speechless.

They tried to recall Konoha Village’s former glory in their minds...

‘Damn it!’

‘What the hell happened here?!’

The two original founders of Konoha Village realized that all their hard work seemed to have gone up in smoke, and they were on the verge of losing it.

"Um..."

"Grandpa... We’ll need you to handle the village’s reconstruction."

Tsunade's face turned pale when she said this, as if she had just endured an intense battle.

Hashirama was about to ask what was going on, but in the next second, he saw Tsunade's legs give out as she slumped to the ground.

Jiraiya, who was standing next to her, looked anxious. He immediately rushed forward to support Tsunade, then shouted with concern, "Godaime-sama!"

"Are you alright!?"

"Konoha Village needs its Hokage now more than ever, you must not fall here!"

Tsunade clutched her chest, her eyes instantly moistened, and she grabbed Jiraiya's collar, and her entire body sagged in defeat.

"It's all my fault..."

"As the Hokage of this village... I let it suffer such a catastrophe..."

"I’m not a worthy Hokage."

Tsunade sat on the ground, hugged her knees with her hands, buried her head between her legs, and her crying sounded in everyone's ears.

Naruto: “???”

Naruto and Kakashi were standing nearby, and their expressions twisted in confusion when they saw this scene.

‘Wait...’

‘What the hell was Hokage-sama doing??’

‘Why was she acting like she was the one who blew up Konoha?’

Naruto was completely baffled.

He had thought Tsunade called him back to resurrect the two Senju Elders for reconstruction.

‘But now...’

‘It seemed that Tsunade wanted to take this opportunity to throw away her Hokage’s position... and hand it back to the two Senju Elders.’

Just as he was thinking this, Jiraiya finally showed his true colors.

"Damn it!"

"Now that Tsunade-sama is so decadent... If Konoha Village doesn't have a strong leader to protect it now..."

"Then the village really will be finished!"

Jiraiya didn't say a word to the two Hokage, but his words made them feel like they had to step up and take responsibility.

Because... they were the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage!

And the ‘little’ Tsunade clearly wasn’t as happy as they remembered...

So they believed she must have had a hard time all these years.

As her elders, how could they not help?

"Jiraiya, was it?"

"Stop wailing."

"For now, we’ll handle the village’s affairs."

When Tsunade heard this, her breathing hitched and her eyes flashed with an unprecedented brilliance.

That was the freedom she had longed for for many years!

‘This Hokage’s position...’

‘I can finally throw it away!!’

Naruto stood there with mixed feelings.

Because he realized that Tsunade and Jiraiya's acting skills had reached terrifying new heights.

"Brother, you should help everyone rebuild their houses first."

Tobirama smoothly took over the Hokage’s authority from Tsunade, and immediately started giving orders to his older brother.

"Got it! Leave it to me!"

Hashirama yelled, and then he created wooden clones that ran in all directions.

Meanwhile, Tobirama turned his gaze toward Sasuke again.

"Now then..."

"It’s time to deal with you, the unstable element."
