Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
Chapter 655: Orochimaru’s Trump CardsBang, Bang!
Two coffins appeared out of nowhere, with the words ‘Sho’ and ‘Ni’ written on the lids.
“Edo Tensei of Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage?” Homusubi grimaced as she saw the two coffins. Are they your trump card… Are you certain they’ll be able to handle Danzo?”
Homusubi has already confronted the two Hokage while using the Fujin Clone a few months back… The two Hokage in the Edo Tensei form, as far as she knows, aren’t too weak, and their strength should be slightly higher than Kage rank, but that’s it…
Shodaime Hokage and Nidaime Hokage in their present Edo Tensei form would not be enough to fight Shimura Danzo, who now has seven Kekkei Genkai, including the Wood Release and Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Orochimaru grinned and remained deafeningly silent. He’d much rather have his masterwork demonstrate it to Homusubi via action than through words.
With a sigh and a shake of her head, Homusubi expressed her dissatisfaction with the situation.
She has no idea how things will turn out now; all she knows is that she hopes it doesn’t get out of hand.
Tuk… Tuk…
Two individuals with dull faces and cracked bodies walked out of the coffins step by step as the lids of both coffins slid off.
Homusubi’s pupils shrank as soon as she noticed the two of them with her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan…

The chakra fluctuations she was sensing from the bodies of the two former Hokages, particularly the Shodaime Hokage, were exceedingly powerful, far more so than the ones Fujin had felt from them during his last combat with them.
It’s not impossible for an Edo Tensei to have such strength; Uchiha Madara’s strength in the fourth great shinobi war is clear proof of this; however, the possibility of them being able to show such strength at this point in time should have been next to impossible, but… this is no longer the case, and it can only mean one thing, and it’s extremely surprising.
“How did Orochimaru enhance the Edo Tensei Jutsu to this degree so quickly?” Homusubi wondered.
She has no idea what the answer is to this question… She can only assume it’s due to the threat posed by the Akatsuki Organization, which is always hovering above Orochimaru’s head.
Whatever the reason for his rapid improvement in Edo Tensei Jutsu, it is a positive thing for them right now.
Even if Danzo is their former apprentice, Homusubi is confident that the two Hokages will not remain silent after witnessing Danzo’s horrible crimes against the Konoha Shinobi.
The Shodaime Hokage, dressed in the red shinobi armor of the Warring States Period, stared at his broken hands and groaned miserably, “This Jutsu again?”
The Nidaime Hokage, dressed in Warring States Period blue shinobi gear, folded his hands over his chest and studied the young figure standing not far away for a time before muttering, “Danzo… “Is that you?”.
Nidaime Hokage, as the superior and Sensei of the six shinobi at the time, was a very dedicated Sensei to his six followers. To defend his followers and Konoha’s future, he even chose to face Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and their elite forces on his own to ensure that Konoha’s future was protected.
As a result, when Senju Tobirama saw the familiar face of one of those six children, he immediately recognized it as none other than Danzo…
He was astonished when he observed something unexpected and exclaimed, “Mangekyou Sharingan?” and shook his head, “No, that pair isn’t merely Mangekyou Sharingan… It’s Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!”
His elder brother Hashirama, drawn in by Tobirama’s comments, shifted his gaze to the young man who resembled Danzo and nodded slightly, “Well, you are right Tobirama… That pair of eyes reminds me of Madara’s… They are the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.”
Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage, who had dealt with the Uchiha Clan before, were well-versed in the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Senju Hashirama, in particular, because he has frequently battled the strongest Uchiha, could tell just by looking at the youngster’s dark crimson Susano’o that the Sharingan’s visual prowess in his eyes is closer to that of Madara back in the day.
Shodaime, on the other hand, believes that the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan of the child inside the crimson Susano’o is far more malevolent than Madara’s… It appears to be loaded with rage, greed, lust, and other vices.
Tobirama’s face became grave as he received his elder brother’s affirmation, and he said, “Danzo… you are Danzo, right? Why do you have the Uchiha Clan’s eyes?”
The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan can only be awakened by an Uchiha clansman, and Danzo isn’t an Uchiha, so the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan that Danzo holds must have been stolen from someone.
Tobirama’s heart was freezing.
He couldn’t believe his apprentice had become enamored with power and had strayed from the ‘Will of Fire.’
This was too much for him to bear… He instilled in them the desire to be better than this.
On the shattered altar.
Danzo inhaled deeply and mumbled to himself, “Is that… Sensei?” as he glanced at the two familiar figures with a puzzled expression.
Danzo hasn’t fully recovered his mind, but he did know the two figures, Shodaime Hokage and Nidaime Hokage.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Shodaime Hokage-sama, Nidaime Hokage-sama, I believe it is appropriate to reminisce about the past days at a later time; just now, the Konoha Village and the entire shinobi world are in peril…”
Shodaime and Nidaime both turned around and gazed at Orochimaru with puzzled expressions on their faces.
“First, this guy conspired against Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and forced him to step down from the position of Hokage, and about a month after taking the power of Konoha Village in his hands, he ordered nearly fifteen hundred high-ranking Konoha Shinobi to secretly assemble outside this Volcano,” Orochimaru said, pointing at Danzo.
“For a war?” Tobirama asked, frowning.
“If it was merely for a war, then the Konoha Village and the entire shinobi world wouldn’t have been imperiled by his acts,” Orochimaru explained, shaking his head. ” He gathered those fifteen hundred Konoha shinobi outside this cave for the goal of absorbing their chakra and life force while performing a ceremony.”
“A ritual?” Shodaime was perplexed this time. “What type of ritual are you talking about?”
“A ceremony to climb into a God,” Orochimaru continued. ” If he succeeds, he will become a God, and I don’t suppose I need to explain what it takes to become a God, the life of the fifteen hundred Konoha shinobi outside this cave. We attempted to stop him ourselves, but the strength he has already acquired is far greater than we can bear… As a result, I had no choice but to extricate the two of you from the underworld.”
Nidaime Hokage’s expression darkened after hearing Orochimaru’s explanation…
Shodaime Hokage sought to sense the condition outside the cave at the same moment, and he did detect over 1500 Chakra signals… Many of them were already dead, some were barely surviving, and the remainder were on the verge of death as they spoke. Shodaime’s face became somber as he realized there was some truth to that statement.
Although Nidaime didn’t totally trust Orochimaru’s words, he couldn’t help but be suspicious when he felt the evil chakra encircling Danzo and saw people dying all around him. “Danzo… did you really do all of this?” he wondered. “Did you truly plan to sabotage Hiruzen?”
“You were mistaken, Sensei…! Hiruzen… he’s not deserving of the title of Hokage! I am the only shinobi who has been it and will be worthy of the title of Hokage… Only I have the ability to take Konoha to new heights…!” said Danzo with a roar as if to add weight to his words.
The current Danzo lacks the mental capacity to comprehend the circumstances… Instead of responding appropriately to Tobirama’s query, he uttered the ideas that had always been hidden in his heart.
Rather than sprinkling water on the fire that Orochimaru was attempting to start, Danzo added more oil to it.
“Tobirama, this pupil of yours has lost his head in the desire of power,” Hashirama stated casually as he rubbed his brother’s shoulder. “Such a person cannot be allowed to remain Hokage because he would wreck Konoha… We must put an end to him at all costs.”
Shodaime Hokage went so far as to kill Madara for the sake of Konoha, so how can he spare simply a Danzo?
Tobirama drew a deep breath and stayed silent; he had not anticipated the day when he would be forced to murder his own apprentice.
