Chapter 142: The Resurrected Hokages
At this moment, Tsunade, who was sorting through intelligence reports in the Hokage's office, suddenly stopped and stood up abruptly.
Her beautiful eyes widened, displaying an expression of disbelief and shock.
"This... how is this possible?!"
"This familiar chakra... it's Grandfather!"
As the granddaughter of Hashirama, Tsunade sensed two familiar and immense chakras covering the entire village of Konoha.
On Hokage Rock, four figures gazed at the present-day Konoha with mixed emotions.
"So, this is what Konoha looks like now."
"Tobirama, I told you your jutsu would cause trouble for future generations."
"This is the second time we've been summoned back from the Pure Land."
Tobirama's face twitched a few times. He hadn't expected his forbidden jutsu to be misused.
Ultimately, it was the village's insufficient protection of forbidden jutsus that was to blame.
These four figures corresponded to the faces carved into the Hokage Rock.
The First Hokage, Second Hokage, Third Hokage, and Fourth Hokage, the once-deceased former Hokages, had been resurrected through Edo Tensei.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!"
Tsunade, along with Kakashi and several other Jonin, stared in shock at the former Hokages.
"Grandfather?!"
Tsunade was especially shocked to see Hashirama Senju before her.
"Sensei?"
"Old man?!"
Asuma and Kakashi were equally stunned, staring at Minato and Hiruzen.
The deceased former Hokages had actually been resurrected?
"Oh! It's little Tsuna!"
"You've grown so much over the years."
Hashirama was equally surprised to see Tsunade.
"Now isn't the time to discuss this!"
"This state! It's Edo Tensei. Who exactly resurrected you?"
Hashirama and Tobirama's faces stiffened as they sighed helplessly.
"The Uchiha clan..."
"Indeed, now is not the time to discuss this. You all must be careful. Our wills have been altered, and our sole purpose here is to destroy Konoha!"
"What?!"
Before anyone could react, a terrifying chakra wave erupted from Hashirama.
Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!
Their faces turned serious.
As former Hokages, they didn't want to fight their village's ninja, but they couldn't control their bodies in this state.
Boom—!
Endless chakra burst forth from Hashirama, like a volcanic eruption, suffocating everyone with its pressure.
The next moment, the ground beneath Tsunade and the others began to tremble violently.
Tsunade's pupils contracted, and she shouted, "Retreat quickly!"
She vividly remembered her grandfather demonstrating this terrifying jutsu when she was a child.
Countless twisted trees burst from the ground, as if alive, consuming everything around them.
The trees connected and grew wildly, splitting the surrounding land.
Wood Release!
It had once brought peace to a war-torn ninja world during Hashirama's era.
The power of Wood Release was universally acknowledged in the shinobi world.
Seeing this, Tsunade and Kakashi were horrified.
This was the true power of the First Hokage's Wood Release, far beyond Yamato's capabilities.
Yamato himself fell into contemplation, questioning whether his Wood Release could even be considered the same as Hashirama's.
Facing the wave of trees, everyone used their best techniques.
But the trees created by Wood Release couldn't be easily destroyed.
Various Fire, Water, Lightning, and Wind jutsu proved ineffective against the encroaching trees.
The overwhelming power was similar to the feeling Ryujiro had given them.
Hashirama's face darkened; he wanted to stop but couldn't control his body.
Although this wasn't his full power, it was still beyond what the village's ninja could handle.
Just then, a gentle repelling force pushed Tsunade and the others to a safe distance.
Following that, a brilliant and invincible slash tore through the air towards the raging, twisted trees.
Slash!
The violent trees that Kakashi and the others couldn't stop were instantly shredded by this terrifying slash.
At the same time, Hashirama's expression changed.
What was that flying towards them?
It didn't seem like a slash!
Two figures stood in the sky, looking down at the former Hokages, with Hinata showing a particularly shocked expression.
The former Hokages were resurrected?
And the Third Hokage too!
"Ryujiro! Hinata!"
Tsunade got up and shouted at Hinata and Ryujiro, "Ryujiro, Grandfather and the others are being controlled.
Their goal is to destroy Konoha. You must find a way to stop them!"
With no other options, they could only rely on Ryujiro and Hinata.
To have broken through Hashirama's Wood with a single attack, this young man's power was unfathomable.
Even Hashirama, known as the 'God of Shinobi,' was surprised by Ryujiro's strength.
Seeing Ryujiro, Hiruzen finally sighed in relief.
"With Ryujiro here, the village should be safe."
"Lord Third, who is that young man?"
Minato asked, looking at the unfamiliar face. He had never seen him when he was in the village.
"That child is Konoha's hope."
Konoha's hope?
Minato was surprised that Hiruzen would give the young man such high praise.
But what puzzled the Third Hokage was why Ryujiro and Hinata were floating in the air.
Whoosh!
They knew that they were up against the past Hokages. It wasn't just Hashirama they had to deal with.
Several kunai flew past Ryujiro and Hinata.
In the next moment, Tobirama's figure disappeared, instantly appearing before Ryujiro and Hinata.
Flying Thunder God Slash!
Clang!
Ryujiro blocked Tobirama's attack with his Zanpakuto.
"Not bad, young man."
He admired Ryujiro for being able to counter his Flying Thunder God Slash.
"Second Hokage, your jutsu has indeed caused a lot of trouble for the future generations," Ryujiro said bluntly.
