Looking at the decision made by Tobirama displayed on the screen, Hashirama suddenly frowned. He questioned why Tobirama's ninjutsu was referred to as forbidden techniques. When Tobirama told his elder brother about his new Ninjutsu research. In Hashirama's view, these techniques were deemed dangerous, especially the ones involving manipulating the souls of the dead.
"Tobirama!" Hashirama called out, and Tobirama could already guess what his elder brother wanted to say. However, this time, Tobirama was not willing to listen, firmly believing that their actions at the time were justified.
"Brother, there's no need to explain," Tobirama responded. "The situation at that time demanded tough measures. The war would not have ended easily without them! War means death and such losses were unacceptable for the young Konoha!" Even the Ryan and duo on the side nodded in agreement.
During the First Great Ninja War, Konoha faced attacks from all sides, becoming the primary target for all the other ninja villages. They all desired a piece of Konoha's land. Tobirama realized that if he had relied solely on conventional means, Konoha would have been dragged into a quagmire.
As for Ryan, he couldn't help but think about the future. Without Tobirama's forbidden techniques, where would the story of the Hokage Ninja be? At least Tobirama's techniques provided material for 300 more episodes.
Witnessing this, Hashirama remained silent and continued reading, curious to see how Tobirama's methods would unfold.
In the sixteenth year of Konoha, the war reached its peak, with the entire Land of Fire surrounded by enemies. Tobirama realized that they couldn't continue dragging it on, as it would only lead to Konoha's downfall. So he took charge and led elite troops in a counterattack.
With the aid of forbidden techniques, victory became inevitable. Using his full firepower, Tobirama rallied Konoha and employed the Flying Thunder God Technique on the battlefield.
Since the Second Tsuchikage and Second Mizukage had perished in the war, Tobirama seized the opportunity and swiftly sent troops to attack their respective countries.
With the Flying Thunder God Technique, Tobirama's presence was felt simultaneously on both battlefields. They successfully defeated the Land of Earth and the Land of Water, prompting the two countries to sign a peace agreement.
After securing victory in those battles, Tobirama's attention turned to the Land of Wind. With the title of the fastest ninja in the world, Tobirama's arrival on the battlefield boosted Konoha's momentum, resulting in a quick defeat of the Land of Wind and the signing of a peace agreement.
Now, only the Land of Lightning remained as the final opponent. With the other battlefields resolved. Konoha breathed a sigh of relief prepared for a prolonged war against the Land of Lightning.
As Hashirama observed the events unfolding in the images, he found himself frozen in place. He never expected the situation to turn out this way after his death.
This Ninja World War was equivalent to all four countries attacking the Land of Fire simultaneously. His mind raced, contemplating what to do next.
In the seventeenth year of Konoha, as the battle between Konoha and the Cloud Shinobi neared its end, Tobirama and the Second Raikage discussed and prepared to sign an alliance agreement to end the war. However, just one month before the signing. Tobirama entered the Hokage chat group and changed his fate.
Tobirama entrusted the signing of the agreement to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo. After their departure, they immediately led the Senju clan to annihilate the entire Sarutobi and Shimura clans in one fell swoop.
As everyone watched Tobirama's exhibition of pure ruthlessness. They were left dumbfounded by the unexpected turn of events. It was particularly surprising for Minato, who had recently become a Hokage and realized that Nidaime had altered his destiny through the Hokage chat group. This led Minato to believe that he would have the chance to go back.
{This is a pure ninja. Just like how Blackbeard is a pure pirate. Extremely ruthless no need to talk shit about peace. If you don't have power and money at your disposal no need to lecture the entire world about how they should live their own lives.}
Despite the shocking means employed by Tobirama, he showed no mercy, even towards his own disciples. He sent them out to die without hesitation. Ryan and others were taken aback by Tobirama's swift actions.
At this moment, Tobirama felt a bit disturbed. Suddenly, he uttered, "Letting them die on the battlefield is too easy for those two." His words left the others feeling ashamed. It was evident that Tobirama had been ruthless throughout his life.
"The Second Hokage Senju Tobirama's world display of national power is complete!" the announcement proclaimed.
"452 points?" Tobirama couldn't help but frown upon seeing his score. In his view, under his management, Konoha had been rapidly growing. He hadn't expected such a significant difference of 110 points.
According to the rules of the Hokage chat group, this gap equated to half the strength of one of the Five Great Ninja Villages. Tobirama felt disappointed for a while but secretly resolved to strive for the top spot next time. He had also taken note of Ryan's operations and the young heroes who would appear in Konoha in the future.
Upon returning, he planned to take them under his command. Falling behind once didn't mean he would fall behind again. With hard work, he believed he could reach the first position.
Meanwhile, Hashirama focused on the light curtain in front of him, anticipating the announcement of the third-place selection. Tsunade and Minato also showed interest, hoping it would be their world. As the light curtain continuously changed, a line of characters finally appeared.
"The third-place selection... Third Place: First Hokage's World!"
"Wow ha ha ha ha! It's me!" Hashirama exclaimed, feeling delighted by his victory in this gamble-like selection. Tsunade became even more annoyed, while Minato simply went with the flow since he had just entered the chat group and hadn't fully grasped the situation yet.
As Hashirama's excitement subsided, a question arose in his mind. While Tsunade and Minato still seemed lost, Hashirama stared at the two suspiciously. "This... Minato and Tsuna... What happened to Konoha under both of you? How did it end up worse than when I first established it?"
