A Journey Through the Universes - Chapter 171: HOKAGE!

The wind blew the smoke away, showing everyone Hashiram, Tobiram and Kakuzu.

While everyone was looking at them in shock, they themselves began to look around in confusion.

“Where am I?” Hashirama muttered, looking ahead at the sculpture of Madara and the red–haired guy on it – The Valley of Completion? –

Tobirama chuckled – Hmm, we were summoned using my technique… and this technique has been improved quite well and brought to mind. –

Hashirama turned his head sideways and saw his brother– Tobiram? –

When Hashirama turned his head and looked at Tobirama, he saw with his peripheral vision a large crowd of women and men behind him – Mito?! –

Mito calmly replied with a nod– Hashirama. –

– Grandpa! Tsunade shouted and jumped into his arms

– Oh e! – the former Shinobi God was surprised when he was almost knocked down. Putting his granddaughter in her place, he said in surprise – Tsunade? That’s what you’ve grown up! –

– I’m so glad to see you again! Tsuna spoke tearfully and joyfully with a happy smile and moist eyes

Meanwhile, Tobirama looked around the crowd and saw his disciple in it. Looking at him, he, with a swirl of emotions, said – Sarutobi… You’ve aged… –

The third Hokage smiled and puffed on his pipe, replied – A lot of time has passed, sensei. –

– I can tell by you. Tobirama sighed and seriously asked Orochi – There must be a reason for using this technique. –

The girl nodded calmly – There is such a reason. You have to help me in the battle with that man. –

Tobirama turned his head and squinted at the smiling young red–haired guy who was standing relaxed on the sculpture opposite – Who is this? His chakra… –

The voice was given by the silent Kakuzu – Uzumaki Tetsuya. The Shinobi God. –

– I can believe it. Tobirama replied gloomily, feeling this huge amount of the most powerful chakra. Then he felt an equally powerful chakra from a woman with horns who was nearby – “Incredibly strong… And it looks like she’s on the side of our summoner. It turns out that even her strength is not enough to stop that red-haired one? What happened after my death?” –

Hashirama, having finished calming the touched granddaughter, turned his head in the direction of the red–haired – God Shinobi? –

– Yes. – Orochi nodded – You have to help me defeat him. I’m not going to kill him, but don’t be afraid to be serious, there’s not much that can do him any harm at all. –

– I see. Hashirama nodded and squinted at Tetsuya

Kushina smiled sweetly and shouted to Tetsuya – Hey! Don’t you want to chat with your father, my love!? –

Tetsuya shook his head with a smile, there was no point in it now before the fight.

– Beloved? Tobirama raised an eyebrow – Is he your boyfriend? –

Kushina pointed her finger at herself – Is it mine? No. –

Tobirama frowned–Then why… –

Kushina interrupted Nidaime Hokage – He’s our guy. – she answered with a smile, opening her arms wide, as if embracing Mito and Tsunade

Tobirama stared blankly at the trio

Hashirama, hearing this, smiled gently – That’s how it is… and the guy turns out not to be a blunder… That’s just it… Mito, I’m glad you found your happiness, but I can’t believe you became a member of someone’s harem… It’s not in your nature at all. –

Mito grinned–I wouldn’t believe it either, but this guy is special. –

Hashirama tilted his head inquiringly, as if asking, “What? Why is he so special that someone like you agreed to a harem?”

Mito replied with a smile – He is my flesh and blood. He’s my son. –

Then Hashirama joined Tobirama, only staring blankly at Mito with his mouth open.

Tetsuya meanwhile, with a grin, in silence, watched the unfolding picture – “There is not enough popcorn and soda.” –

Tobirama, recovering from the shock, asked – How? – remembering the customs of Uzumaki, he realized that for them this is not the norm, for them it is the best choice.

– Simple. – Mito shrugged her shoulders and looked at Hashirama, said – He is your son, too, by the way. –

Hashirama was like a sculpture, with his inanimate summoning body. His brain was trying to digest the information received, and his empty, lifeless eyes stared blankly into the void.

Finally, Hashirama abruptly turned towards Tetsuya– Son? –

– Yes. – Mito said calmly with a smile – He was born eight months after your death. –

– I see. – Hashirama said and with a slightly strained warm smile said – Well, the main thing is that you are happy. –

Tobirama, massaging his face, looked at his brother – Seriously? Your ex-wife has joined your son’s harem, and that’s all you can say? –

Hashirama shrugged his shoulders – So what? I died and thus broke our marriage contract. Moreover, on my deathbed, I told Mito to find his happiness. The happiness she was deprived of in her marriage with me. Yes, of course what she is now… With our son, it’s weird, but I’m still happy for them. –

Tobirama said with a slight smile – And it’s not because you… –

Hashirama said sharply and loudly – No! –

Seeing that he had attracted unwanted attention with his exclamation, he cleared his throat, with a nervous smile, said to Tobirama – There are no more reasons. I’m just happy for my ex-wife and son. –

Mito narrowed her eyes and looked at Tobirama – Finish what you wanted to say. –

Tobirama calmly looked at Mito and just as calmly said – During your marriage, Hashirama cheated on you several times. I think he was tormented by guilt for this, and now he thinks that you are even, since you joined your son’s harem. –

Silence…

Even the wind began to howl quieter, as if he himself was interested in seeing what would happen next.

Everyone slowly turned their heads and stared disapprovingly at the former Shinobi God.

Jiraya whistled softly and also said softly – In gives. –

Maito Dai and Guy clucked disapprovingly, shaking their heads.

Mito looked at him especially fiercely, even though their relationship had ended a long time ago. The woman’s eyes were burning with hellfire, and Mephistopheles with a smile threw coals into them for the general heat.

Hashirama, sweating terribly under these condemning glances, stared indignantly at Tobirama, and also raised his hand and pointed at him with his finger – You swore to me that you wouldn’t tell anyone! –

Tobirama spread his hands – We are dead, the oaths no longer work. –

– But… – swallowing, Hashirama began to back away a little – Mito… –

Uzumaki Mito calmly said – Hashirama. –

The former Shinobi God would be glad if she screamed and swore at him, and did not pronounce his name in a calm sepulchral voice – Yes? – answered he said

– Have I been a bad wife? – she said gloomily

– N-no. – he answered cautiously

“Do you think I was worthy of this act?” –

– Mito, I was drunk. You know I can’t drink… –

– Do you think I was worthy of such an act? – she repeated the question calmly

– No, of course not! –

“Do you think we’re even now?” – she squinted

– Of course not! Hashiram shook his head from side to side

“If you want my forgiveness, then do your best in this battle. –

– Of course! I will do my best! Hashirama replied with a nervous smile, wiping sweat from his forehead

Tsunade muttered with displeasure – Well, you give, grandfather… –

Hashirama sighed guiltily–I know what I’ve done. I don’t want to put the blame on alcohol, but I really don’t know how to drink. And drunk, I don’t look like myself at all. –

Mito wasn’t really that shocked and upset by Hashirama’s act, now she was worried about only one man in her life, and this same man was watching the whole mess from the side with a grin.

Orochi clapped her hands – Now let’s get to the battle. –

Tobirama raised his hand–Wait. And what are we actually fighting for? I can’t understand… –

Hashirama and even the silent Kakuzu nodded

Orochi calmly replied – For a place in the harem. I want to become his woman, and he has set me a condition that I must defeat him in battle. Something like that. –

– What the… – grabbed Tobiram’s head – But that’s stupid! –

– We know. – Mito, Tsunade, Kushina, Jiraya and Hiruzen said at the same time

Hashirama smiled– Well, it’s better than a war or a battle for resources. –

Shaking his head, Tobirama calmly said, sighed – Maybe. –

Everyone turned to face Tetsuya at the same time and looked at him with different emotions.

When the situation was ready to reach its climax, a loud male voice rang out – Stand, they are afraid! –

Instantly, Madara appeared next to Tetsuya – what do you want to arrange here, huh?! Konoha is literally at hand! –

– Madara! Hashirama exclaimed in shock , not without warmth in his voice

Tobirama frowned seriously at the sight of Uchiha – What the hell is he alive for? –

Tetsuya, smiling, said with amusement, looking at Madara – Oh, you decided to control the situation, Mr. Hokage. –

Hashirama was surprised by this news. I was pleasantly surprised, although I didn’t understand what was going on at all, but Tobirama…

– HOKAGE!!! – he shouted at the top of his voice, while his eyes widened to the maximum like a vulture looked at Uchiha.

In a radius of a kilometer, birds, frightened by a brutal voice, flew into the sky.

Madara looked at Tobirama’s shocked face and grinned, took out the hat of the fourth Hokage from the seal and putting it on, said – Oh, today turned out to be such a hard day, and now this sun is climbing into his eyes. It’s better now. –

Tobirama stood still, and his hands, like the rest of his body, periodically trembled from overflowing Senju emotions. It seemed that at any moment Tobirama, already dead, would be taken to the next world by a stroke.

– A lot seems to have changed after my death. Hashirama said with a smile

“It is, Hashirama. – Madara nodded – So what’s going on here? –

– Battle. Tetsuya simply replied, “Don’t you know about my situation with Orochi?” –

– Oh, are you talking about this stupidest nonsense? Yes, I know. But why here? Do you have any idea the scale of such a battle? Konoha won’t survive her, literally. –

Kaguya’s calm voice intervened in the conversation – There is no need to worry. The battle will take place in my personal dimension. –

– That’s how. – Madara thought, and then, smiling, disappeared and already appeared on the opposite side with other Hokages – Perhaps then I will also take part. I’ve always wanted to take revenge, there’s no better opportunity. –

Tetsuya grinned, “I thought you’d be on my side.” –

– I prefer to be on the side of the weak, it’s more interesting this way. Madara replied with a smile, standing next to Hashirama and Tobirama, who was still staring at the walking nightmare incarnation in shock.

– I see. Tetsuya nodded with a smile and squinted, activated the Emperor’s Eyes, Rinne Sharingans and the Imperial Zone – Then let’s start. –

The Rinne Sharingan on Kaguya’s forehead was activated, and a moment later they were all in another dimension.
