When Hiruzen heard Danzo's words, he was angry and about reprimanding him.
But when he looked up, he was completely shocked by the messages in the golden list message area.
'Danzo didn't lie, the golden list really showed Shinigami!'
'But how can Rifan know the Reaper Death Seal!?'
'And he can even see Shinigami?!'
Hiruzen was shocked.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that people did see the Shinigami through the words of others in the golden list.
Originally, he didn't think that Rifan had the ability to see Shinigami without relying on the golden list.
But thinking of the power Rifan has shown so far, plus seeing his confirmation.
Hiruzen had a faint feeling that Rifan might really have such power.
'If so, if Rifan was able to see the Shinigami, does that mean he has the ability to deal with Shinigami?!'
The thought made Hiruzen's heart beat faster.
Hiruzen felt ashamed when he thought that he might be able to defeat Rifan by relying on the Shinigami.
Fortunately, only he himself knows this kind of thinking. If Rifan knows about it, maybe there will be a worse situation in the future.
[Sarutobi Hiruzen: Shodai, teacher, Minato, don't worry, I'm fine. Now, I have returned to Konoha Village. ]
Seeing Hiruzen's message, Minato and others breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, they were once again surprised by the ability of the golden list.
Even the Shinigami of the ninja world cannot break the rules of the Golden List.
In the battle of the golden list, the golden list has the absolute ability to help those on the list to repair their bodies.
This is no exception to the damage from Shinigami in the ninja world.
[Senju Hashirama: That's good, Saru, you should take care of yourself first. Next, it's up to me to play. ]
Senju Hashirama's thoughts moved, and communication was on the golden list.
——First Hokage Senju Hashirama challenges Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei, please prepare both sides.
——The challenge arena will open in ten seconds...
Kirigakure, Mizukage Office.
"It's finally coming, I've been waiting for a long time."
Mei put her hands together and couldn't wait to look at the golden list in the sky:
"Zabuza, Utakata, you watch carefully."
"I'm going to practice with that First Hokage."
"To let you guys know how right it is to join Kirigakure now."
Utakata, Zabuza, and the others looked at each other.
In the face of Terumi who was so excited, they were speechless for a while.
After the countdown to the golden list rankings ended, Terumi Mei's figure disappeared from the room.
Utakata then said to Terumi's clone:
"In terms of strength, I have nothing to say."
"But what we want to see is a reformation of Kirigakure."
From beginning to end, this was what Utakata wanted to see.
Especially for him as a Jinchūriki.
Because of his Jinchūriki's identity, he was shunned from the village.
So he became one of the first ninjas to break away from Kirigakure as a result of the tyranny of the Fourth Mizukage.
For him, what he wants to see is not a simple reform.
It is a reform for him, who is Jinchūriki, to live well in Kirigakure.
"Don't worry, Utakata." Terumi's clone smiled gently. "If it was before, I might not be able to guarantee the living conditions of Jinchūriki."
"But now, things are different."
"Teacher Rifan taught us more than strength."
"Under his influence, the way I manage the village will be very different from before."
Hearing Terumi's clone's words, Yutaka couldn't help narrowing his eyes.
'Rifan?'
'A person with that level of power would not appreciate the power of a tailed beast.'
'I don't know what kind of image Terumi will receive from him.'
Although Utakata was young, he was treated as a foreigner since he was a child.
It made his mind grow extremely fast.
Likewise, he has become extremely sensitive.
Now that he can't leave Kirigakure, he desperately hopes that under the leadership of Terumi, Kirigakure can move in a direction that is extremely friendly to both ordinary people and a Jinchūriki like him.
Sunagakure, inside the leaf barn.
"It's starting."
"Sister Terumi is finally going to fight First Hokage!"
Guren raised her hand and grabbed Rifan's arm, her eyes full of excitement.
Although it was not her who was fighting the first Hokage, she was able to see her sister Terumi Mei, who she met once in Kirigakure, stepped forward to fight the god of ninjas.
Guren also felt quite excited.
She looked at Rifan excitedly and asked:
"Teacher Rifan, do you think Sister Terumi Mei will defeat the First Hokage as easily as she defeated the Third Hokage?"
As she spoke, Guren couldn't help but think of the god-like power that First Hokage had displayed in the golden list challenge arena.
Although in the battle with Rifan, First Hokage did not take any advantage.
But that's only because his opponent is Rifan.
During the training with Rifan, Guren deeply felt how powerful and bottomless Rifan's power is.
So she thinks it's normal that the first Hokage was defeated.
