"Hiruzen, shut up!"
"I won't. Who told you to provoke me first?"
Kagami's gaze turned cold again, and Danzo was furious.
To calm Kagami's anger, Danzo was ruthless and slapped himself hard in front of everyone.
This slap stunned the bystanders watching the scene.
"Danzo, as expected of you, bold and shameless enough."
"Hiruzen… you wait."
"Heh, I'm waiting!"
Danzo gritted his teeth, looking at Hiruzen, who remained calm and composed.
This was the first time Hashirama had seen such a situation.
He remembered when Danzo and Hiruzen were kids, they got along very well. They were so close that they could almost wear the same pair of pants.
So how did they grow up to the point where they now acted like enemies, always at odds?
"Tobirama, aren't you going to do something about them?"
Senju Tobirama shook his head and replied, "Let them handle their issues. As long as no life is lost, it's fine."
Hearing this, Hashirama looked at Tobirama in surprise.
"I didn't expect it, Tobirama, you're so forward-thinking."
"???"
Tobirama was confused and had no idea what his older brother was talking about.
He had just expressed his thoughts on the conflict between Hiruzen and Danzo, so how did that make him forward-thinking?
"Don't worry, little brother."
At this moment, Hashirama patted Tobirama on the shoulder and spoke with the tone of someone with experience.
"Men can't have children with other men, so don't worry, they won't have to worry about being pregnant."
Senju Tobirama: ???
"Sorry, big brother, it's possible that I made a mistake while cloning your body. I might have damaged the brain of this body. How about this, big brother, you go die for a bit, and I'll clone a new body for you?"
"Uh, never mind. I think this body is fine."
Thinking about how there was still Madara's face on his chest, Hashirama casually added, "Well, in many ways, it's quite good."
Seeing Hashirama like this, Tobirama had completely given up on trying to complain.
He could only turn to his sister-in-law, Mito, and say, "Sister-in-law, from now on, please take care of big brother. Please make sure he learns proper physiological knowledge and stops thinking about strange things."
Mito, while eating sunflower seeds and watching a video on a light screen, didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the Senju brothers.
When she suddenly heard Tobirama call her, she froze for a moment.
"Tobirama, what do you mean?"
"Big brother and Uchiha Madara have no future!"
Mito's small hand shook, almost dropping the sunflower seeds.
She widened her eyes and looked at Tobirama, as if asking: What the heck are you talking about?
[After some searching, Deidara finally found Sasuke.]
[Seeing that Sasuke hadn't noticed him yet, he immediately threw two explosive clay birds, giving Sasuke a warning.]
[Sasuke reacted quickly, instantly using his snake-like defense and activating his Sharingan.]
[While thinking, Deidara was faced with Sasuke asking him, "Where's Uchiha Itachi?" with a look of arrogance.]
[After hearing that, Deidara thought, "This guy must be Itachi's brother, he's so annoying."]
[Angrily, Deidara didn't care and threw more explosive birds, bombing Sasuke mercilessly.]
[Later, he spat out some clay figurines from his palms and used them for taijutsu, hoping to tire Sasuke out while trying to kill him with explosions.]
[Facing such an attack, Sasuke, with his Sharingan active, used the snake-like movements taught by Orochimaru to dodge the explosive birds.]
[Deidara saw this and played a tactical move, successfully wrapping Sasuke up in clay and releasing a stronger bomb to blow up this annoying guy.]
[At that moment, Sasuke used the strongest substitution jutsu from "Naruto" to dodge the attack.]
[Seeing that the explosion was once again avoided by Sasuke, Deidara grew tired of the tactics and decided to increase the intensity.]
[Deidara quickly formed a C2 dragon, and the dragon's mouth released clay bombs, sending small clay dragons to harass Sasuke.]
[The C2 dragon also carried Deidara into the sky, evading Sasuke's lightning jutsu.]
[At the same time, Zetsu followed Deidara's instructions and buried explosive clay in the ground, trapping Sasuke in a small minefield.]
[With Deidara in the sky, Zetsu on the ground, and the minefield of explosive clay surrounding him, victory seemed certain. Deidara maneuvered the C2 dragon above Sasuke, confidently saying, "How can I lose when I'm riding the flying dragon?"]
"Sasuke, you can win, right?"
The situation for Sasuke on the screen looked dire.
Above him was the small clay dragon from the C2 dragon, and below him was the minefield of explosive clay.
If he wasn't careful, Sasuke could be blown to pieces.
"You idiot, the timeline on the screen is from before I went to find Itachi. Since I later defeated Itachi, this fight with Deidara is obviously one that I will win."
Naruto's concern warmed Sasuke's heart, though he still instinctively called him an idiot.
As for Naruto, he wasn't bothered at all.
He had long since gotten used to being called that.
Besides, he himself admitted that in certain aspects, he wasn't as smart as Sasuke.
"Winning is good. Sigh~"
"I won. Why are you sighing?"
"It's nothing. I just feel a little regretful that I couldn't take revenge for Gaara myself."
"Don't worry. You'll have another chance."
After saying this, Sasuke stopped paying attention to Naruto.
The battle currently taking place on the screen was a future version of Sasuke himself.
Watching this kind of battle was very valuable for his current self.
Seeing that Sasuke wasn't talking to him anymore, Naruto didn't press the issue. Instead, he focused with the others, carefully watching the screen.
He didn't want to miss this exciting battle.
[Facing dual attacks from both the sky and the ground, Sasuke activated his cursed seal second state. He used the two large eagle claws on his back to block the explosion.]
[However, Deidara's explosions were strong enough that one of Sasuke's eagle claws was completely destroyed.]
[Since there was more explosive clay underground, Sasuke couldn't move recklessly.]
[Meanwhile, Deidara was riding the C2 dragon, continuously attacking from the air, and the situation looked very favorable for him.]
[But even though the situation was looking grim, Sasuke didn't slack off. He stomped on a sword that was stuck in the ground and, using his remaining eagle wing, leaped into the air. He feigned an attack with his ninja tools to disrupt Deidara, then used Chidori to cut off the C2 dragon's wings. He manipulated the ninja tools with wire, using a backhand move to pin Deidara's arms.]
[After making sure he was safe, Sasuke threw out a snake to wrap around a nearby tree, leaving the explosive area.]
[Sasuke completed this entire sequence smoothly, reversing the tide of battle in an instant.]
[This really proves that old saying: "Celebrating too early is never a good idea."]
