Chapter 227 - Chapter 227: Taking the Blame

Hashirama Senju raised his hand and pointed at Madara Uchiha, looking surprised, as if he had seen a ghost.

Madara Uchiha was not to be outdone and pointed back, his voice even louder.

"Monkey, long time no see. It seems Konoha is in big trouble."

"Truly a naturally evil Uchiha!"

Tobirama Senju first greeted Sarutobi Hiruzen, then turned around and stared at Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha with a sharp gaze.

Sasuke pouted unhappily upon hearing this. What trash talk was this? How was the Uchiha clan naturally evil?

Wasn't he a good Uchiha?

There were plenty of good Uchiha in the clan!

"Tobirama, don't say that," Hashirama turned his head and admonished.

"Big brother, shut up. Haven't you figured out the situation yet?" Tobirama scolded.

Hashirama's face stiffened, then he hung his head dejectedly, looking pitiful and weak.

This shocked Kakashi and the others. Wasn't he the God of Shinobi? Wasn't he the big brother? Why did something seem off?

"As expected of Tobirama Senju, truly annoying. But haven't you been reduced to our pawn?" Madara Uchiha mocked.

"Madara, what do you want to do?" Tobirama asked coldly.

"Just capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. But your descendants are quite outstanding, so we have to borrow your strength to be sure."

"You will help us with all your might, won't you?" Madara Uchiha laughed freely.

"Madara, don't engage in any schemes and plots."

"And this unfamiliar young brother too. Let's coexist peacefully and discuss things if there's an issue," Hashirama mumbled.

Obito Uchiha frowned. Was this First Hokage too naive?

"Hehe, Hashirama, you're still so naive. The kunai has already been thrown," Madara Uchiha shook his head and laughed.

"Is that so? Then we won't help you."

"Although he can forcibly control us through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, limited by our bodies and instinctive fighting, we can't exert much of our strength."

"I believe the younger generation of Konoha will be able to withstand and thwart your conspiracy!" Hashirama said very seriously.

It had to be said, they were indeed family. Tsunade's style of doing things was also a huge gamble. Don't ask; if she believed, she believed.

What if they lost?

Impossible to lose. They wouldn't disappoint people!

What if they really lost?

As long as their lives weren't lost, they would fight to win it back!

Although Tobirama Senju's style was somewhat influenced, he was much more pragmatic. His gaze fell on the leader.

"Junior, it seems you are the Hokage. What is your name, and which generation are you?"

Kageyama Kogetsu said politely, "Lord Second, I am the Sixth Hokage, Kageyama Kogetsu."

"Already the sixth generation? How did the Fourth and Fifth die?" Tobirama Senju, seeing that Kageyama Kogetsu was very strong, asked with a smile.

"The Fourth Hokage was his biological father, Minato Namikaze. He was sneak-attacked by the Masked Man over there using space-time ninjutsu to infiltrate the birthing site in Konoha while the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki was giving birth."

"Lord Third's wife and disciples were killed on the spot, and the Nine-Tails was released into the village."

"At that time, Konoha wasn't this strong. To seal the Nine-Tails, we paid a considerable sacrifice and suffered heavy losses."

"The Fourth dealt with the external enemy and the Nine-Tails. With little chakra left, he could only choose the Dead Demon Consuming Seal from the Uzumaki clan."

"You should be very familiar with the Fifth Hokage. It was your disciple, Danzō."

"He was attacked by numerous powerful enemies on his way to a meeting in the Fire Capital. Although there is no concrete evidence, we speculate that it was the Masked Man who did it."

Obito Uchiha immediately retorted, "I admit to the first thing, but I didn't do the second."

When he said this, no one believed him. Under the preconceived and deep-rooted impression, Obito Uchiha was already a super villain, rotten to the core.

Obito Uchiha felt very wronged taking the blame. Why was something he didn't do pinned on him?

"Hmph, Kageyama Kogetsu, stop slandering me. I didn't kill Danzō."

"I actually think it was you who did it to become Hokage. You are very insidious, planting a full five spies in my Akatsuki!"

Under the preconceived and deep-rooted impression of Kageyama Kogetsu and Obito Uchiha, the Konoha crowd naturally didn't believe it. They just thought Obito Uchiha was sowing discord, with extremely sinister intentions!

Even Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju didn't believe it. Only Madara Uchiha thought there was some credibility.

"You guy are really too bad, irredeemably bad!"

"Tobirama, I only admit that he is a naturally evil Uchiha, harming Konoha. I will personally..."

Before his words faded, Hashirama Senju erupted with extremely powerful chakra, instantly disappearing from his spot, his right hand aimed straight at Obito's heart.

Obito Uchiha had been on guard. Sensing something wrong, he immediately formed hand seals to strengthen his control. In the end, the fingertips were only half a centimeter away from his left chest.

"Big brother, you're too impulsive..."

Swoosh!

Before his words faded, a blue water needle shot from Tobirama Senju's mouth, like an arrow from a bow, straight for Obito Uchiha's forehead.

Smack!

The Uchiha war fan blocked Obito's face, and the water needle was directly deflected...

"Tobirama, you bastard, still so insidious. Unfortunately, with me here, you are destined to only be a pawn," Madara Uchiha mocked disdainfully after retracting the fan.

"Even without your help, he wouldn't have hit me. I wasn't careless," Obito Uchiha said lightly.

Having suffered too many losses in the past, Obito Uchiha dared not be arrogant just because of Kamui.

Besides, whether it was Hashirama Senju or Tobirama Senju, they were legendary figures in the ninja world. How could he be careless?

"Reunion time is over. Spend your energy dealing with the Konoha ninja."

Obito Uchiha formed hand seals, erasing Tobirama Senju's consciousness as well.

"The situation has changed. Later, support Sasuke and Naruto as the situation dictates."

"Kakashi and Guy in one team. Lord Third, Kurenai, and Asuma in another team."

"Be careful. Do not be careless," Kageyama Kogetsu said with a serious expression.

"Understood!" The seven said in unison with solemn faces.

"Masked Man, last time you and Nagato fought me seven against one. This time it's eight against one. I think you will still lose."

Kageyama Kogetsu smiled, his tone flat, as if everything was under control.

"Boasting shamelessly. I hate your look of having everything under control the most. Prepare to die!"

Obito Uchiha's tone was icy and displeased. With a thought, the seven puppets formed a formation.

Tobirama Senju stood at the very front. The taijutsu specialists, Five-Tails Han and Four-Tails Rōshi, stood in the second row. Two-Tails Yugito and Three-Tails Yagura stood in the third row. Six-Tails Utakata was in the last row, and Seven-Tails Fū grew wings and flew in the air.

This formation did look quite formidable.

"Descendant who looks like Izuna, come with me. Let me see how much of the Uchiha clan's skills you have mastered."

Madara Uchiha smiled slightly, then flashed away.

Seeing Kageyama Kogetsu nod, Sasuke drew the Sword of Kusanagi and chased after him...

"Hehe... Sasuke, if you lose, I'll laugh at you forever."

"Idiot, worry about yourself first. The God of Shinobi, even with only fighting instincts left, is still the God of Shinobi."

Hearing Sasuke's parting words, Naruto's face became solemn, and he flashed away.

With a thought from Obito Uchiha, he had Hashirama Senju chase after him.

It was quite interesting. The reincarnation of Indra against the reincarnation of Indra, and the reincarnation of Asura against the reincarnation of Asura.

Kageyama Kogetsu and Obito Uchiha also had similarities in some places...
