Tobirama could only frown after hearing Orochimaru's explanation. "The ideal shinobi?" he wonders.
He immediately looked down at the remains of the altar under his feet and studied the many Fuinjutsu engraved on the altar ruins; after a while, he looked along the lines of the chakra bearer and his face turned solemn.
Nidaime Hokage is one of the top Ninjutsu innovators and researchers in the shinobi world... Senju Tobirama created some of the most famous and dangerous ninjutsu in the shinobi world, including but not limited to Kage Bunshin, Edo Tensei, Flying Raijin, and so on. As a result, he could understand the outline of the ritual ceremony performed in this volcanic cave in seconds, and inevitably grew even more regretful. "Danzo... Sarutobi does not deserve the title Hokage..."
Tobirama's sudden remark, 'Sarutobi is inappropriate' caught the three of them off guard, whether it is Hashirama, Orochimaru, or Homusubi. "What are you trying to say?"
"Hahahahaha.. did you finally realize that instead of Sarutobi, you should have chosen me?" Danzo laughed menacingly and mockingly inside the volcano "But it's too late..."
"Don't get me wrong, Danzo," Tobirama replied, shaking his head, "Even if I had another chance to choose between Sarutobi and you, I would choose Sarutobi... The only reason I believe Sarutobi isn't worthy of being Hokage is that, despite knowing exactly what kind of person you are, he didn't get rid of you while the situation was still under control..."
The explosion!
Tobirama was about to finish his sentence when Danzo appeared in front of him and punched him in the stomach...
Bang out!
Tobirama flew away like a cannonball and crashed into the granite wall of the volcano, accompanied by a deafening loud roar...
Destroy it!
Danzo's form became more pronounced after Tobirama was shot inside the wall... He had used the Quick Element to its maximum extent in the blow earlier, and as a result, his speed was so fast that only Homusubi, with the help of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, was able to capture his figure; other than him, he was able to capture it, no one could see Danzo...
Hashirama would be able to sense Danzo easily if he was in Sennin Mode, but since he wasn't, tracking Danzo with just his eyes was a difficult task even for him.
No one else including Tobirama and Orochimaru was able to seize the figure of Danzo.
"Dead...!" yell Danzo at this time. "Dead, dead, dead... You all must perish!" and instinctively weave signatures...
Thousands of Explosion tags buried under the rocks erupted and shook the entire volcano, bringing it to an active stage.
bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum boo
At the same time, blood-red crystals appeared in the cave openings, shutting off all possible routes out of the volcano.
…
Outside the Fire Mountain.
All the shinobi outside the cave looked towards the cave with anxious expressions due to the strong shocks and explosions.
"What's going on inside?"
Whether the Konoha shinobi is tied to the Charka Transmission Array or the Shinobi Root confronting Kakashi, they are all overwhelmed by doubt and anxiety at this point.
As the tremors grew stronger, baseless cracks began to form around the volcano. This rupture is large enough to start hundreds of meters from the foot of the volcano and extend all the way to the top of the volcano, giving the impression that the volcano and the surrounding land will be buried!
"Will this volcano erupt?" disturbing doubts arose in their minds.
In the face of such a crisis, Root Shinobi turned his back on Kakashi and focused on how to assess the situation inside.
Their master Danzo is still inside, therefore they must find a way to contact him and, if necessary, save him.
Even Kakashi was worried; he had no idea what was going on inside the volcano or why it was showing any indication of collapse... However, he was relieved that he now had the possibility to save all the Konoha Shinobi here... He still did not know how he would save over a thousand shinobi.
Of course, Kakashi had no idea that Rinnegan's making had been halted due to his hasty determination to save Konoha's Shinobi...
If he were to learn it, he would not know whether to be happy or disappointed ...
…
Somewhere at the End of the Fire Nation
Yondaime Raikage asked one of the Kumogakure Shinobi standing behind him, "Is that the direction?" after hearing a small rumbling sound in the distance and feeling the tremors on earth.
"Well, the sound did come from the Shinobi Konoha gathering location" shinobi Kumogakure confirmed. " Although…"
"Then we can't wait any longer" Yondaime Raikage said. "Coming-out!"
Yondaime Raikage's officer, Dodai, stopped him immediately, "Raikage-sama... More than one thousand five hundred Konoha shinobi have gathered there, according to Anbu reports... Our total number, including all the Anbu teams, is less than one hundred... If we ventured into the Konoha region irresponsibly in such a situation, the situation would quickly spiral out of control...
Please, at the very least, wait for the initial investigation squad to return so that we can devise an effective plan."
Since the purpose of the Raikage was to sneak into the Fire Nation, he did not bring many shinobi squads with him; other than himself and his personal bodyguards, there were only about 20 squads of four in the area.
They had been waiting for the initial investigation team to return for this reason.
Although Ay is impatient, he understands that he is the backbone of Kumgakure and must not have an accident. In the current state of the shinobi world, if something were to happen to him, the entire Kumogakure would be frightened, so he remained calm and asked, "How long will they all return?"
"I've already relayed the order to gather here, it should be no more than 15 minutes for all the squads to return." said the young Mabui, Yondaime Raikage's assistant.
"Ten minutes at most .. no matter how many squads have gathered by then, we will be departing in ten minutes!" Said Raikage while waving his hand.
…
Elsewhere in the Fire Nation.
"How far, Naomi?"
Naomi replied, "Homusubi-sama, we're almost at their base..."
"Alright then," said Homusubi as he nodded, "as soon as we arrive, I will be responsible for attracting all the attention, and as I fight against them, I will be in charge, you'll sneak into their base and save the girl..."
"understand..." Naomi nodded.
As a result, Homusubi and Naomi speed up and run into one of Root's secret fortresses in an attempt to save Senju Mika from Shimura Danzo's clutches.
…
Inside the Volcano.
Because Danzo used Crystals to seal all the fissures of the Volcano, the volcano was filled with dust, smoke, and heat generated by the explosion of hundreds of thousands of explosive papers... The entire volcano was engulfed in smoke and dust in an instant.it was as if it was the epitome of hell on Earth.
Homusubi and Orochimaru exchanged worried looks while standing inside this hell.
The problem is that volcanic activity is increasing due to earthquakes, and is beginning to show signs of eruptions, which may be very dangerous for everyone.
In addition, the walls of the volcano became increasingly fragile as it began to collapse due to the unrelenting shaking...
Shodaime pushed his palm to the ground and shouted, "Wood Style: The appearance of the Deep Forest!" as the walls of the Volcano began to collapse.
Countless powerful trees appeared out of nowhere, intertwined, and protected the walls of the volcano from collapsing like a sturdy pillar …
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief as they realized the collapse had been avoided.
At the same time, everyone was enchanted by the power of the Shodaime Hokage. Only the legendary Shodaime Hokage could prevent the 500-meter-high volcano from collapsing so easily.
Orochimaru was the one who was most shocked.
Despite the fact that he knew the Wood Style Shodaime Hokage was extremely powerful, he had no idea it could be this powerful... Senju Hashirama achieved something that he thought was almost impossible.
"Tobirama, the current strength of Danzo is more than you can bear alone..," exclaimed Hashirama after preventing the volcano from collapsing. We have to be serious about this!"
"It seems that you are right Big brother..," Tobirama said as he walked away from the broken wall, nodding towards Hashirama. "So, let's start ..."
