This scene really makes the so-called title of Ninja God…
Oh no, his character completely collapsed!
Shouldn't Senju Hashirama have a thousand giant hands and a face covered in stripes?
That's what my ancestors told me! I remember… yes, that's right.

Video footage:
A few days later, Senju Tobirama rushed into the Hokage's office, eyes gleaming with excitement!
"Brother! I invented another ninjutsu! It's called the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Several wooden clones were already standing beside Senju Hashirama, ready to head out on missions. They turned to glare at Tobirama.
Clone 1: "Hmm? Isn't the Wooden Clone good enough?"
Clone 2: "What do you mean? Aren't we practical?"
Clone 3: "Do you see me forming hand seals? Exactly!"
Clone 4: "With one fucking slap, all your Shadow Clones will pop like balloons. Do you believe it?"
Clone 5: "If you don't ban this broken technique today, we clone brothers don't care if you're the real brother or the clone brother!"
All the clones turned their heads toward Clone 6, who had stayed silent.
Clone 6 scratched his head nervously.
Clone 6: "Uh… you guys already said everything. What else am I supposed to add?"
Senju Tobirama: "...Ban! Fine, I'll ban it! Is that not enough!?"
With tears in his eyes, Tobirama reluctantly wrote the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique into the Forbidden Scroll.
[Senju Tobirama: Damn, just thinking about it makes me mad! If this were my real brother, I'd have cursed him out long ago! But it's just a clone… I can't scold it, and I can't beat it!]
[Senju Hashirama: ...Ahem, this has nothing to do with me!]

Video footage:
"Brother! This technique is amazing!"
"It's called Flying Thunder God—"
Before Tobirama could finish, Hashirama slammed the desk.
"Ah, Fei Fei Fei, Fei your sister! Is this ninjutsu something normal people can even use? Hardly anyone understands Flying Thunder God, and you're still tinkering with it? I haven't even settled accounts with you for killing Izuna with that Flying Thunder God Slash last time!"
"Look, before Izuna died, he gave her eyes to Madara. Because of you, your brother nearly went on a rampage!"
Senju Tobirama's mind buzzed with thoughts.
You never scolded me before! But now, just for your brother-in-law… wow!
"Brother!"
"What is it now?"
"It's fine, I'll just put it in the forbidden scroll…"
Tobirama turned to leave under Hashirama's stern gaze.
Hashirama froze. "Wait, brother, why aren't you following the routine? Don't you want to ask me anything? Why aren't you asking?"
Tobirama was thinking bitterly:
You ignored me yesterday!
You can't stop me today!

[Namikaze Minato: ??? So I'm not a normal person…?]
[Senju Tobirama: …Don't overthink it. You're being called abnormal by someone who's abnormal himself. Who do you think is the real abnormal one here?]
[Senju Hashirama: My brother is right!]
[Senju Tobirama: Exactly.]
[Senju Hashirama: So, my brother just admitted the Forbidden Technique Grandmaster is cool? Was he praising himself?]
Hashirama clapped his hands in sudden realization.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Minato could only stare silently.
The whole shinobi world already knew Tobirama invented forbidden techniques like he was giving away candy…
Only you, big brother, had no clue!
[Fourth Raikage: Good grief, you just realized now?]
[Mei Terumī: Uh… I suspect he's in Versailles, but I have no proof!]
[Ding! Starting the quiz!]
[Ding! Question: How many forbidden techniques did Senju Tobirama invent during his lifetime?]
[Ding! Answer correctly to receive one random forbidden technique from the Forbidden Scroll, redeemable for 800,000 gold coins. Penalty for a wrong answer: unknown!]
[Ding! This is a number-based question. Any number-related chat counts as an answer! Please chat carefully!]
[Senju Hashirama: ??? Eh, that's the question?]
[Senju Tsunade: Hah! This is about my Second Grandfather's forbidden techniques! Do you think we don't know the answer?]
[Ding! Determining Senju Tsunade's answer. Number of forbidden techniques invented: Two.]
[Ding! Wrong! Punishment: Three random C-rank Ninjutsu removed.]
[Senju Tobirama: ...No, seriously, even I don't know!]
[Senju Tsunade: ??? You didn't even know what you invented!?]
[Fourth Raikage: I'd like to award the title of 'Most Reckless' to the Fifth Hokage!]
[Senju Hashirama: !!! Fifth Hokage? Holy crap! Are you sure Konoha won't get wiped out under her leadership?]
[Ding! Determining Fourth Raikage's answer. Number: Five.]
[Ding! Wrong! Punishment: Three random C-rank Ninjutsu removed.]
[Ding! Determining Senju Hashirama's answer. Number: Five.]
[Ding! Wrong! Punishment: Three random C-rank Ninjutsu removed.]
[Senju Tobirama: If Tsunade's confused, then you two are just dumbasses!]
[Fourth Raikage: Ahem, keep a low profile. It was just a mistake…]
[Senju Hashirama: By the way, is it true Princess Tsunade won't lose all of Konoha's wealth gambling?]
[Senju Tsunade: ??? How is that possible! Do I look like that kind of person?]
[Shizune: Not at all.]
[Orochimaru: I must comment. When Tsunade took over, there wasn't much left to lose… There wasn't even a single person in Konoha who could break the Four Purple Yang Formation.]
[Ding! Determining Orochimaru's answer. Number: Four.]
[Ding! Wrong! Punishment: Three random C-rank Ninjutsu removed.]
[Senju Hashirama: !! Yeah, now that you mention it, I get it! Who in the village could break that barrier back then?]
[Senju Tobirama: If this crappy barrier could withstand my Water Severing Wave, I'd shut up right now.]
[Sarutobi Hiruzen: ...And why am I getting dragged into this? I'm already dead! Go blame Danzo!]
Danzo Shimura, lurking in the shadows, stayed outwardly calm—but his heart pounded like crazy.
Shit! Hiruzen, you bastard, stop pushing all the blame onto me!
But in truth, Hiruzen was even more panicked. How was he supposed to deal with having the First, Second, and Fourth Hokage breathing down his neck?
When the fighting started, guess who they'd all turn on?
If not you, then who?
[Shimura Danzo: Hmph. I don't know either one. I always followed Hiruzen's orders. How could I possibly know this?]
[Ding! Determining Shimura Danzo's answer. Number: One.]
[Ding! Wrong! Punishment: Three random C-rank Ninjutsu removed.]
[Uchiha Madara: Enough of your petty Konoha squabbles. The real question is—what's the correct answer?]
[Shimura Danzo: Hmph, that's right. Our goal should be the present, not the past.]
