Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 115 The Heartbroken Hashirama

After the group from the Land of Hot Water finished their "frank" conversation, they began to discuss their options.

Ultimately, the group decided to return to the Land of Fire, but not to Konoha.

Jiraiya and his companions completely distrusted Momoshiki's suggestions to Boruto, such as cooperating with Urashiki and persuading Urashiki not to attack Naruto of this era.

At the same time, for Jiraiya, what Sasuke and Boruto said also indirectly confirmed that what Bai Mo said was true, and that he did not deceive anyone in the slightest.

This time, Tsunade truly misjudged the situation.

But precisely because of this, Jiraiya also became hesitant and conflicted.

Jiraiya could accept his own death, but he couldn't bring himself to decide the life or death of others, especially those who were objectively "good people."

Just as they temporarily forgave and understood Boruto's decision to let Momoshiki kill the Third Hokage and Asuma, it doesn't mean that Jiraiya could do the same thing for the sake of the so-called future.

Sometimes, seeing things in black and white is really a comfortable thing.

Even now, Jiraiya is unsure whether it's right or wrong for him to insist on protecting the future.

However, aside from that, everyone agrees on the Otsutsuki clan.

Urashiki is definitely an enemy.

So they decided to take Urashiki's target, Naruto, and wander around the wilderness near Konoha.

Firstly, to prevent the main battlefield from being located within the village, resulting in meaningless casualties and destruction, similar to the Konoha Collapse Plan. Secondly, being close to Konoha would facilitate calls for help and support.

There's nothing wrong with this plan.

However, because everyone except Naruto and Konohamaru, who were unaware of the situation, was tormented, their journey was much slower.

Now it's not just Boruto who wants to escape.

Moreover, it seems that the roles of Konoha and Akatsuki have been reversed.

On Konoha's side, there should be someone named "Pain" (Pain), while on Bai Mo's side, Nagato should rename Pain "Joy" (Joy of Pleasure)...

Although it might sound a bit unconventional.

-

The desert of the Land of Wind.

In the deep pit of the dragon vein.

Not long after dawn, Orochimaru arrived with his team.

Orochimaru seemed to have guessed Bai Mo's meaning in asking him to bring two more White Zetsu, so he directly used two White Zetsu to resurrect the Senju brothers Hashirama and Tobirama Senju again.

Then, using Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique, they quickly traveled to their destination.

"Bai Mojun, I've brought the people, and these two as well. I took the liberty of calling them out again, I hope you don't mind."

To be sure I wasn't mistaken about your intentions, I asked the chief for two more to bring.

Orochimaru greeted Bai Mo.

Besides Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, who were resurrected through Edo Tensei, two other White Zetsu followed them.

"How is it? White Zetsu is quite useful, isn't it?"

Bai Mo looked at Tobirama Senju, who appeared last with Hashirama Senju, and smiled at Orochimaru.

"Indeed, the First Hokage cells in White Zetsu can significantly increase the upper limit and proportion of the reanimated targets' pre-birth strength..."

However, if the target is too powerful, it cannot be effectively contained. Fortunately, one of the targets this time was the First Hokage.

Orochimaru glanced behind him.

After the [Konoha Crush Plan 4 Purple Flame Formation Discussion Meeting], Orochimaru gained some understanding of the personalities of the two Hokage.

Unlike during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the current Edo Tensei has not yet been optimized by Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi.

Therefore, Orochimaru is currently unable to control either the First or Second Hokage, who have been resurrected using Edo Tensei.

If it weren't for Akatsuki territory, he would never have tried it if it were in Otogakure.

There haven't been any problems so far.

Just use emotions to please the first generation, and use the first generation to suppress the second generation.

"First Lord, our mission is complete. Now, it is time for..."

Orochimaru turned around to say something to Hashirama Senju, only to find Hashirama running up to a girl with long, straight black hair with a "lewd" look on his face, grinning at her.

"Hehehe, Tobirama, come and see! It really looks like Madara! I only saw the portrait before, but now that I've seen the real thing, it really does look like him..."

The fly between the pillars rubbed its hands together and laughed.

Tobirama covered his face with a slap.

Whenever his older brother mentions Ban, he always manages to do things that completely subvert his image.

Uh, it seems like freckles are the same.

What is this?

Is it a two-way journey?

Tobirama suddenly felt nauseous.

"Disgusting, get out!"

Tobirama: "?"

Tobirama looked up in surprise at the sound.

who is it?

He actually voiced his true feelings?

"Amatellas!"

When Uchiha Hikaru faced Hashirama Senju, one of the two pillars of Konoha whom he had met in the Tsukuyomi space after being educated about the history of the ninja world by Bai Mo, he immediately jumped back to create distance and used Amaterasu.

The blood flowing from the Mangekyou Sharingan is not only blood, but also disgust, nausea, and loathing.

Hey.

Bai Mo quickly grabbed Guang's hand: "Stop!"

"Um?"

Guang turned his head to look at Bai Mo, puzzled.

This "hmm" had a thick nasal tone, and his lips were slightly pursed, as if he was angry that Bai Mo had helped Senju Hashirama.

"Don't reward him."

"……oh."

After a moment of silence, Hikaru glanced at Hashirama Senju, whose eyes held a hint of anticipation, and obediently stopped his attack, even retracting Amaterasu.

"You know about his past relationship with Madara Uchiha. Now that the Uchiha clan has been wiped out, he's been too repressed, which is why he wants to use your Mangekyou Sharingan attack as a substitute for Madara."

Bai Mo explained it to Guang.

"So that's how it is."

Guang patted her chest, relieved that Bai Mo had reminded her.

Otherwise, she would have become part of the Konoha Twins play.

"The best way to deal with this kind of person is not to attack or insult them, but to ignore them."

"Understood, thank you."

"Hey, isn't that going too far?"

Hashirama Senju had a sullen face and one hand was on Bai Mo's shoulder.

He was watching Bai Mo and Uchiha Hikaru chatting, and it was as if he was seeing himself and Madara's youthful days, reminiscing about the good old days.

As a result, Bai Mo suddenly told Uchiha Hikaru not to pay attention to him, which immediately saddened Senju Hashirama.

"So what do you want to do?"

Bai Mo tilted his head and looked at Zhu Jian.

"Such a fine young man from the Uchiha clan, as the First Hokage of Konoha, I certainly have to take good care of him..."

"..."

Uchiha Hikari really wanted to blurt out "Get lost," but with Bai Mo's reminder, she held back.

Pretend you didn't hear anything.

"First of all, Hikaru is of a higher generation than you, so what gives you the right to care? Secondly, Konoha was founded many years ago, so she wasn't exactly a Konoha ninja."

"Ugh."

Hashirama Senju had no words to refute, and dejectedly turned around and walked to the side, squatting on the ground.

"How can I possibly help? What exactly is this thing?"

Tobirama Senju looked up at the roots of the dragon vein and asked Bai Mo.

"Oh, Second Generation, your task is simple: first, teach me the Light Technique of Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

Bai Mo pointed to the light beside him.

"What?!"

Tobirama was furious.

You want him to teach you the ninjutsu he created for the Uchiha clan?!

"What?!"

Hashirama was heartbroken.

Even Tobirama can communicate with Hikaru, but he can't!
