Just then, in the Pure Land, the First Hokage, Second Hokage, and Fourth Hokage looked toward the figure that suddenly appeared beside them...
A giant glowing green title shone brightly above his head: "Go home and check your brain!"
Senju Hashirama's eyes widened in awe.
"So cool! I want one too!"
Meanwhile, Senju Tobirama and Minato Namikaze's eyelids twitched violently...
It was a good thing they had stopped Hashirama from choosing option A earlier—otherwise, having someone standing beside them all day with the title "Go home and check your brain" would've created a severe psychological shadow!
Video Screen:
As Ōnoki asked the question, the atmosphere instantly became awkward.
At that moment, the Masked Man stood up.
"Next time, we'll meet on the battlefield!"
A swirling vortex appeared, and his figure vanished from sight.
Everyone watched him disappear, then began discussing countermeasures.
"So, what should we do next?" Ōnoki asked, looking around at the other Kage.
The first to respond was unexpectedly Gaara.
"We can only form the Allied Shinobi Forces first."
Mifune nodded, "The world's first Allied Forces are being formed right here."
"Then who should be given command of the Allied Shinobi Forces? Including myself, all the Five Kage have been criticized by you!" Ōnoki questioned.
Mifune silently let the sword sheath drop from his sleeve and re-sheathed his blade.
"I believe Raikage A is the best candidate."
Ōnoki turned to the Mizukage and Kazekage.
"Mizukage, Kazekage, any objections?"
"I trust Raikage."
"Let's leave it to the Raikage."
Seeing no one object, the Raikage nodded.
"Understood. Then I will command the Allied Forces!"
He looked to Ōnoki.
"Ōnoki! You're the only one here who's fought Uchiha Madara. Please elaborate on any useful information!"
Ōnoki nodded solemnly.
"I understand. I'll take care of it."
[Ding! Video ended!]
[Ding! Starting to release questions!]
[Ding! Question: Did Ōnoki really fight Uchiha Madara?]
A. Yes, they fought
B. No, they didn't fight
C. They fought, but not completely
[Ding! Correct answer reward: Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Technique one-time experience card ×1]
[Wrong answer penalty: Unknown!]
[Ding! Quick answer session starts in one minute!]
In Sunagakure, silence lingered.
That person really was Gaara!
Since the death of the Fourth Kazekage, Gaara had changed greatly after returning to the village.
No longer bloodthirsty. No longer terrifying. Sometimes, he even smiled—a gesture the old Gaara would never make.
The father dies, and the son smiles?
Would that same Gaara really become Kazekage later?
If Chiyo hadn't stepped in to temporarily stabilize the village after the Kazekage's death, Sunagakure would have surely fallen into chaos.
Fortunately, Gaara—this so-called Tailed Beast Weapon—was still there.
He seemed dangerous, yet with him guarding the village, no one dared to invade.
It was precisely because of this that Gaara was later recognized and became the Fifth Kazekage, right?
[Mu: ...My good disciple, when did you ever fight Madara?]
[Ōnoki: Uh... this... Teacher, let me explain!]
[Fourth Raikage: ??? Holy crap, Ōnoki, you didn't fight Uchiha Madara?!]
[Mei Terumī: ...Then what was that video about?]
[Senju Tsunade: Forget that, I'm more curious... What happened to me? Did I die or get kidnapped?]
[Ding! Danzo Shimura successfully answered quickly! Please begin answering!]
[Danzo Shimura: Does that even need to be said? The Second Tsuchikage is questioning it! So, it must be B! There's only one truth—and that is... Ōnoki is showing off!]
[Ding! Danzo Shimura's answer is B!]
[Ding! Danzo Shimura's answer is incorrect! Chakra level reduced by 5%!]
[Danzo Shimura: ??? Impossible!]
[Ding! Danzo Shimura successfully answered quickly! Please begin answering!]
[Danzo Shimura: A!]
[Ding! Danzo Shimura's answer is A!]
[Ding! Danzo Shimura's answer is incorrect! Chakra level reduced by 10%!]
[Danzo Shimura: !!! Holy crap! I'll answer again!]
[Ding! Senju Hashirama successfully answered quickly! Please begin answering!]
[Danzo Shimura: ??? First Hokage-sama???]
[Senju Hashirama: ...I said it was an accident, do you believe me?]
The entire Ninja World was stunned.
The Atomic Dismantling Technique was incredibly powerful. Seeing Danzo Shimura answer three times in a row, everyone thought the Ninjutsu experience card would surely go to him.
No one expected Senju Hashirama to suddenly jump in!
Danzo almost cried. I was just about to get it…
[Senju Tobirama: Seriously, you're hopeless. If there are three long and one short, pick the shortest. If there are three short and one long, pick the longest! How can you still mess it up? If there are two short and one long, pick the long one! Idiot!]
[Senju Hashirama: Hehe, I've wanted to try this Atomic... Atomic... Atomic Cutting Technique for a while! Finally got a chance~ Hehehe, I choose C!]
[Ōnoki: First Hokage-sama, that's the Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Technique...]
[Senju Hashirama: Oh oh! Got it! Dismantling Glass Cutting!]
[Ōnoki: What the hell is glass cutting!...]
[Mu: ...I'm not even anxious yet, what are you anxious about? Lord Hashirama can call it whatever he wants! Do you have a problem with that?]
[Ding! Senju Hashirama's answer is C!]
[Ding! Senju Hashirama's answer is correct! Reward: Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Technique one-time experience card ×1]
Senju Tobirama covered his face, unable to watch anymore.
As expected—his big brother was just curious!
This Bloodline Elimination created from three chakra natures...
As the only being in the world surpassing Bloodline Limits—
...well, that wasn't what Hashirama cared about.
What he did care about was—
"How does this Dust Release cut things? It looks so strong!"
Ōnoki in the video mentioned molecular-level cutting and all sorts of complex stuff he didn't understand at all.
But it looked very powerful!
[Senju Tobirama: I'm more curious what C means—'They fought, but not completely.']
[Uchiha Madara: Does that even need curiosity? How much power do you think they could force out of me?]
[Senju Hashirama: Ah... It would be impressive if they made you use your Sharingan, right?]
[Mu: ...I suddenly remembered a certain scene... and now I have an ominous feeling!]
[Ding! Starting to play "Ōnoki's First Meeting with Uchiha Madara"!]
[Mu: !!! Holy crap, I knew it! Damn it! Ōnoki, you scheming brat! Would you die if you didn't show off? Look what you've done—you even dragged me into it!]
Everyone was confused.
What did the Second Tsuchikage do?
Why was he suddenly so agitated?
Mu was nearly in tears.
Damn it... if I remember correctly, the first time we met Uchiha Madara…
