Meeting of Teacher and Student

Meeting of Teacher and Student, Konoha Village, Hokage Office.

"Having done such a thing, we should immediately issue a warrant for Uchiha Sasuke!"

Utatane Koharu said with a dark face.

"That won't do." The speaker wasn't the usually good-tempered Third Hokage, but Mitokado Homura. He met his old partner's astonished gaze and said calmly, "Currently, no one can prove that Uchiha Sasuke is the one who killed Danzo."

Isn't this just blatant lying? The Uchiha's signature Fire Release, the Chidori marks on the wound, are they suggesting Kakashi killed Danzo? Even if there are no witnesses and Danzo's body was destroyed, what about Uchiha Sasuke suddenly leaving the village late at night? The Third Hokage didn't want to publicize it, just like the Uchiha massacre back then. It's clearly a scandal involving the village's higher-ups, something that a hundred mouths couldn't explain clearly, so it definitely couldn't be known by anyone other than the three of them.

However, there's one difference from the Uchiha massacre. Back then, Itachi was cursed by the entire village's lower and middle classes, but now, the dead Danzo is cursed by many middle and upper classes.

There's no helping it, the Root's dirty work that had been exposed was too much.

Just the act of seizing orphans on a large scale during the war and imitating the Village of the Bloody Mist to train ninja was something many couldn't tolerate. Among the Jonin in the higher-ups, there might be some radicals, but influenced by the Third Hokage, the vast majority were still inclined towards gentle and conservative steady progress.

The elite Jonin were also not ruthless individuals. In this situation, it would be strange if they had a good impression of Danzo.

Konoha, illuminated by the sunlight, cannot tolerate the exposed, dirty, and filthy Root.

As long as Danzo was alive, people would wonder if others in the higher-ups were involved in those evil deeds, which is why they were being protected? Or were they simply instructed by the higher-ups?

Ordinary ninja were fine, but the opinions of the ninja clans were very troublesome.

Once morale is lost, the village becomes difficult to lead.

The Second Hokage's return gave the village a shot in the arm, but this could only work temporarily. As time goes on, unless the even more mythical First Hokage is brought out, the question of 'how to deal with Root and Danzo' will eventually return.

Once Root was brought into the open, Danzo's political life was over. The best dignified exit would be a quiet suicide, bearing everything.

You're good, I'm good, everyone's good.

However, everyone knew what the Third Hokage was like, and Utatane Koharu was a very nostalgic person. Mitokado Homura knew that even if he spoke up, it would never pass, and he didn't want to stain himself with Root's filth, so he kept dragging it on.

In his opinion, since you're going to bear the village's sins, why don't you have the awareness to bear the consequences? The longer it dragged on, the more disappointed he became in his former friend. A few days ago, he had the idea that someone could stand up and replace Root to deal with the village's sins.

It sounds cruel to Danzo, but this is the bloody reality.

The office was silent for a long time, and the Third Hokage took the initiative to speak, saying, "Teacher should already know, right."

He was indecisive, but not a complete fool. He knew that Sasuke wouldn't go anywhere else after leaving the village, only to find Lin Ke.

Senju Tobirama, who was doing experiments with him, definitely already knew about this.

Utatane Koharu didn't respond. She knew her teacher's personality. Even if he came back, he wouldn't say much, and might even pretend that nothing had happened, just like Homura.

She changed the subject, saying, "Sarutobi, teacher isn't here now, you are the Hokage."

It was a reversal of roles.

"..." Mitokado Homura sighed and said, "Let's leave it at that. Seal off the relevant information and wait for teacher and Lin Ke to come back and handle it."

"With Lin Ke's technique, he should be able to summon Danzo back."

The higher-ups, including the heads of the ninja clans, all knew from Senju Tobirama how Lin Ke's Summoning Jutsu communicated with and summoned the dead.

They also agreed that after dying, they would immediately provide feedback upon hearing the voice.

So, Danzo is dead, so be it. Anyway, he can come back again, and then we can consider other things.

They had been fussing over this matter since morning, sitting until the afternoon. Utatane Koharu had nothing more to say. She was angry that Sasuke killed Danzo, but now that they could bring the person back, there was no need to take the lead in the charge.

The Third Hokage took off his hat and placed it on the desk, rubbing his waist. As he got older, his energy was not as good as before, but there was no one in the village who could take his place.

Jiraiya and Tsunade didn't make things easy for him either. One was running around with the Jinchuriki, and the Second Hokage sent a message back to the village but didn't get a response. The other had mysteriously disappeared, and it had been a while now.

Too willful, fortunately there was Lin Ke's technique, it really helped a lot.

Sigh, when Lin Ke comes back, I can rest again, if...

...

—One hour later, Hokage Office.

"Sarutobi, what happened, why are you in such a hurry—"

Mitokado Homura said as he pushed open the door. As soon as he entered, he saw the little brat sitting on the Hokage's desk, and he leaned back on the spot, his expression frozen.

"Homura, sit down first." Senju Tobirama (childhood version) said in a childish voice.

Mitokado Homura took a deep breath, swallowed his saliva, sat down, and tentatively asked, "Second Hokage-sama?"

I woke up too hard, how could I see such a small Second Hokage, is it also a summoning of the dead? Can it also change appearance? Transformation Jutsu? Genjutsu?

He was in a frantic brainstorming session.

Sitting next to him, Sarutobi Hiruzen, like a grandfather watching his grandson, wiped his sweat and whispered, "The new technique that Lin Ke and the Second Hokage researched can reincarnate the dead."

[What?!]

Mitokado Homura's expression changed rapidly. He stood up abruptly, but after seeing the familiar look in the Second Hokage's eyes, he sat back down and whispered, "Are you sure it's...?"

The omitted words contained a lot, such as whether the little brat sitting on the office desk was the Second Hokage himself.

And whether it was truly reincarnation.

Senju Tobirama glanced at the two people whispering to each other, but said nothing. It would be better to wait for Utatane Koharu to arrive before discussing it together. The resurrection of the dead was indeed quite bizarre.

Even in the ninja world, it was a miracle.

Especially since he had turned into his childhood self.

Ah, brother, he thought, feeling a headache about his brother. Due to his personality and experiences, Senju Hashirama firmly believed that the dead should not interfere with the living. Therefore, he would most likely refuse to come out and speak, even if Lin Ke, that little brat, harassed him.

Unless he was pulled out once using the original Impure World Reincarnation to have a good chat.

Senju Tobirama had already made a decision in his heart. After his strength recovered a bit, he would pull out his brother and talk about reincarnation.

Even in his childhood state, his brother was definitely not weak. With the experience of his previous life, a few years of cultivation would be enough to make him a valuable asset. Even if he couldn't reach the strength he had when he quelled the chaos of the world, he would still be more than capable of being a Hokage.

That would save him time.

In the current ninja world, no one would be able to defeat his brother after he was reincarnated and cultivated for a few years. After a few more years...

Senju Tobirama unconsciously thought a lot, and finally confirmed the importance of Lin Ke, who completely trampled on the taboo of life and death. Such an ability was too powerful.

If someone jumped out and said that Lin Ke, that little brat, was the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, he would believe it.

"Click~"

"Sarutobi, I—"

Another stunned old man appeared at the office door.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mitokado Homura, who had already communicated through codes, eye contact, actions, and words, waved their hands. Only one person was missing from Konoha F4.

The three of them had also communicated for a while, confirming that the feeling of Chakra was correct, the appearance was correct, and the words and actions were correct.

Could it really be reincarnation?

While the three were still somewhat doubtful,

Senju Tobirama made a starting gesture. The Shadow, who had been waiting for a long time by the window, left. After a while, Lin Ke arrived, covered in dust. After nodding to the three people sitting next to him, he made a hand seal, clapped his hands together, and activated the Summoning Jutsu.

[Shimura Danzo, Shimura Danzo! Respond if you receive, respond if you receive]

[The Darkness of the Shinobi is dead?]

[Good riddance, good riddance!]

[Even Danzo]

[Lord Danzo, how could this be?]

It had to be said that this old guy's 'popularity' was not bad. As soon as his name was mentioned, the Pure Land exploded, and dense voices rang in his ears.

Well, 99% of them were curses. The rest included those with complex emotions like Yahiko, and a small number of Root loyalists.

Lin Ke marked them one by one in his mind, and suddenly surprisingly discovered that he had caught the guy who had been arguing with him anonymously all along.

The one who opened his mouth and said: [You're talking nonsense! How could the Third Kazekage be killed by that brat Sasori!]

That guy was the Third Kazekage himself...

Unbearable.

Anyway, the moment Lin Ke pulled the Third Kazekage in, both of them were a little speechless.

[Lin Ke, it's me,] Shimura Danzo's voice also rang out.

[Lord Third Kazekage, who won't be killed by that brat Sasori, we'll see you in a while,] Lin Ke joked, ignored the Third Kazekage whose Vest had been exposed, marked Shimura Danzo first, canceled the Summoning Jutsu, and then increased the amount of Chakra to pull out the Pot Shadow student.

Oh, a young version of Danzo, who was quite handsome, but his eyes were as gloomy as when he was old.

[However, without the arm made of Hashirama Cells and the Sharingan, his strength has decreased quite a bit.]

Lin Ke thought to himself.

"Danzo," Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to call out his old friend's name.

Shimura Danzo looked up at Senju Tobirama sitting at the desk. He originally thought that after dying once, there was nothing he hadn't seen, but this, he really hadn't seen before.

After a moment of silence, he hesitated and said, "Teacher?"

"Yes."

Senju Tobirama replied with a nasal tone, saying, "Regarding your death, these three are also here. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it now."

Mitokado Homura remained calm and gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a look.

Heaven knows if Danzo will open his mouth and bite people indiscriminately. Later, he needs to have a private chat with Lin Ke, and he must not come up with anything like wanting to put Uchiha Sasuke on the wanted list again.

One Utatane Koharu is chaotic enough.
