Hiruzen stared blankly at Danzo not far away, as well as the First Hokage and the Second Hokage beside him. Besides them, there was also Kagami.
How dare Danzo?!
Hiruzen was no stranger to Edo Tensei.
Danzo had actually summoned Hashirama and Tobirama, and even Kagami.
If Hiruzen had previously intended to spare Danzo's life, wishing to have him confined for the rest of his days, then now he could only conclude that Danzo was beyond saving, so be it.
It would be a strange thing if Kazuki could accept Kagami being Edo Tensei'd. At this point, no one could save Danzo.
"Is that monkey?" Tobirama paused in surprise upon recognizing Hiruzen.
Tobirama still remembered Hiruzen's Chakra signature very clearly.
Hashirama sensed Danzo's presence behind him and said, "Tobirama, I told you not to research this ninjutsu. Also, you're Danzo, aren't you? I feel my Chakra on you. Did you transplant my cells?"
As he spoke, Hashirama began to worry for Konoha. Hiruzen was wearing the Hokage's battle robe. He was most likely the Hokage after Tobirama.
Just by sensing his Chakra, he certainly couldn't compare to himself, but he was still qualified to be Hokage. But what was the deal with Danzo?
Why did he have his Chakra signature and his presence?
Thinking of these things, he began to worry for Konoha.
"First Hokage-sama, Tobirama-sensei." Hiruzen took a deep breath and greeted them. "And Kagami, long time no see."
"Hiruzen. It seems I've been dead for many years." Kagami looked at Hiruzen not far away and greeted him.
"Is Konoha doing well? And how is that child Kazuki?"
"Kagami? You're already dead?" Tobirama looked at the Uchiha he trusted most, his eyes flashing with a complex expression.
Kagami was undoubtedly the best inheritor of the Will of Fire. His Will of Fire was even stronger than Hiruzen's, but alas, Kagami was an Uchiha.
"Yes, I sacrificed myself during a mission, sensei."
Kagami seemed to remember something and quickly reminded Hiruzen, "Oh, by the way, monkey, the Third Mizukage has a problem. He's being controlled by a very powerful ocular power, a power far beyond mine. I suspect it's Madara. Madara is still alive, and I also died by his hand."
"What?"
Kagami's words shocked everyone. Not only were Hiruzen, Hashirama, and Tobirama shocked, but even Danzo was dumbfounded. He didn't know Madara was still alive either.
"Kagami, the Third Mizukage is already dead. He was killed by that child Kazuki." Hiruzen said with complicated thoughts.
"What?" Kagami was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
"So he also awakened those eyes?"
Tobirama frowned. A genius had appeared in the Uchiha Clan, and even a Mizukage had died by his hand? This was not a good thing.
After all, the stronger the Uchiha, the more problematic their minds.
"He is a true genius. He displayed excellent talent from a young age. After graduating early, he became Tsunade's disciple, and was later taught by Mito."
As Hiruzen spoke, he looked at Tobirama. He knew his teacher's aversion to the Uchiha Clan.
As expected, when Tobirama learned that Kazuki was Tsunade's disciple and had been taught by Mito, he let out a huge sigh of relief. Tsunade's disciple, and furthermore, having been instilled with the Will of Fire by Mito from a young age, no one was more 'rooted' than Kazuki.
If nothing unexpected happened, that child would be another Uchiha like Kagami.
"He seems like a good child." Hashirama murmured, then looked at Danzo behind him and asked, "What's going on here?"
"Danzo embezzled a large amount of the village's resources. I was just about to bring him back to Konoha, but I didn't expect him to..."
At this point, Hiruzen looked at Danzo with anger at his lack of self-control.
After Hiruzen's explanation, the others glared at Danzo. It seemed Danzo had violated the Will of Fire.
"Hmph, Monkey, you tried to hand the Hokage position to that Kazuki. You are wrong. The Uchiha will only threaten Konoha. I'm only doing this for Konoha." Danzo snorted coldly, looking at Hiruzen with dissatisfaction.
"What's wrong with an Uchiha becoming Hokage?" Hashirama looked at Danzo speechlessly.
"I even wanted Madara to become Hokage back then."
Tobirama silently closed his eyes. He hadn't met Kazuki, but he was willing to trust Tsunade, Mito, and Hiruzen. If even they acknowledged Kazuki, then he must be a good child.
Moreover, if he could solve the Uchiha clan's problem and allow an Uchiha to become Hokage, it would be all beneficial and no harm.
Kagami looked at Danzo with complex emotions.
His son was going to become Hokage?
This filled his heart with immense excitement. It seemed many people in the village supported Kazuki.
But what was wrong with his old friend? Did his son bother him?
You actually want to deal with my son.
Between Kazuki and Konoha, Kagami would choose Konoha. But between Danzo and Kazuki, he would definitely choose his own son, Kazuki.
Danzo, you've changed.
"The Uchiha clan is Konoha's greatest scourge. Their existence hinders Konoha's development and will sooner or later harm Konoha's interests."
Danzo hadn't expected Hashirama to say such a thing.
You are the First Hokage, how can you say such things?
Shouldn't you be the main force against the Uchiha?
"Danzo, so that's how you view the Uchiha." Kagami looked at Danzo with complicated thoughts.
He and Danzo were good friends back then, and he had saved Danzo more than once on the battlefield. But Danzo viewed the Uchiha in such a way. It was impossible for him not to feel disheartened.
"Hmph!" Danzo snorted lightly, not intending to refute.
That's what he believed. Of course, not just the Uchiha, even Nawaki and others, in his eyes, were obstacles to Konoha's development.
