Chapter 38 Arriving in Konoha forty years later
A year's plan starts with spring, and a day's plan starts with the morning.
In the morning, Senju Tobirama and six disciples gathered in the Hokage's office for the time travel.
Akimichi Tofu, Mitomon En, and Utane Koharu didn't have time travel quotas, so they didn't need to come.
But they felt that if they didn't come, they would seem out of place.
It just so happened that they also wanted to witness how Tobirama and his teachers traveled through time, and see if they could find any loopholes to let them travel with them.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tobirama said, "I checked Madara's grave yesterday and found that the coffin was empty, which shows that Madara is really not dead."
At this point, Tobirama looked at his glasses and asked, "Kami, did you get anything from there?"
Kami shook his head and said, "It's just that one night is still too little time, I need more time."
Tobirama didn't make things difficult for Kami.
He knew that a family like theirs that has been passed down for hundreds of years must have a lot of books at home.
It's really impossible to find the secret technique that made Madara fake his death in one night.
"How about you, Hiruzen? Are there any bad signs from Orochimaru?"
Apart from the fact that Uchiha Madara is not dead, Tobirama is most concerned about Orochimaru.
This is a genius of the next generation of Konoha, and he cannot be allowed to become a traitor as shown by the light curtain.
Even if he finally returned to Konoha, he betrayed the village halfway and killed the third generation Hokage who was his teacher. It is a stain anyway.
"I talked to Orochimaru for a long time last night. He did have bad signs and kept discussing topics such as the meaning of life with me."
Sarutobi Hiruzen touched his head and felt a little embarrassed.
As a teacher, he was completely at a disadvantage in the conversation with Orochimaru.
Faced with Orochimaru's questions, he didn't know how to answer.
If Orochimaru asked him questions about escape techniques, he would not need to think about anything and could answer immediately.
But the question of life is too heavy and broad, and it seems particularly difficult to answer these questions with his knowledge reserves.
"If nothing goes wrong during this time travel, you can bring Orochimaru to see me after you come back."
"Okay, Mr. Tobirama."
Seeing Hiruzen agreed, Tobirama nodded and continued, "By the way, there is something I should have told you and Kagami last night, so that you don't forget it after traveling back. I will tell you now."
Touching his chin, Tobirama organized his words in his mind and said, "You should all know that I sent members of the three families of 'Ino-Shika-Cho' to protect the city lords of the country some time ago, right?"
The six students replied in unison, "I know, Mr. Tobirama."
"That's good to know. The members of 'Ino-Shika-Cho' are in charge of the city lords, but the daimyo has a different idea. He wants Hiruzen and Kagami to go and protect him."
"Teacher, I have no problem."
Kgami had no objection to protecting the daimyo and quickly agreed.
It was Hiruzen who was embarrassed.
"Hiruzen, do you have any ideas?"
Faced with Tobirama's question, Hiruzen asked embarrassedly: "Teacher, how long will Kagami and I be gone?"
"I don't know, as short as one or two months, as long as one or two years, it's possible."
"Is that so."
Hiruzen frowned and thought for a while, and continued to ask: "Then can I take my three students with me?"
Hiruzen felt that if he didn't take Orochimaru with him, when he came back, Orochimaru would probably become the shape of Tobirama.
He didn't want his genius disciple to be snatched away by someone else.
Even if this person was Tobirama's teacher.
"The daimyo should agree to let Tsunade go, but he certainly won't agree to Orochimaru and Jiraiya."
Tsunade and the daimyo of the Land of Fire are relatives, and the former calls the latter grandpa.
Otherwise, do you really think that the title of Princess Tsunade is because she is the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju?
The title of Princess can only be held by the direct relatives of the daimyo of each country.
If his granddaughter wants to protect him, I'm afraid the daimyo, as a grandfather, will be too happy to rush out.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru are not good enough. These two are outsiders and cannot get close to the daimyo.
"Then I'm leaving. What about Orochimaru and the others?"
"It doesn't matter. I will be responsible for teaching them."
Tobirama said firmly.
Tobirama has always admired Orochimaru.
While Hiruzen is going to protect the daimyo, he can take him with him and teach him well.
Tsunade, she is Tobirama's granddaughter, and Tobirama will naturally not refuse to teach him.
As for the last Jiraiya.
Tobirama felt that the person who could win the title of the three ninjas with Tsunade and Orochimaru in the second ninja war should not be too bad, so he simply taught them together.
"Do you have any other questions?"
Seeing that Tobirama teacher had arranged everything, Hiruzen had nothing to say. He could only sigh and replied: "I have no questions."
"No problem."
At this time, Danzo asked anxiously: "Teacher, what about me?"
His meaning was very clear. Kagami and Hiruzen went to protect the daimyo, so what about him? Are there any other arrangements?
In response to Danzo's question, Tobirama directly replied: "You and Tofu and the others should just stay in Konoha with peace of mind."
"Is that so?"
It can be seen from the way Danzo clenched his fists that he was very unwilling at this moment.
He didn't want to protect the daimyo or others that much, he just didn't want to lose to Hiruzen.
Tobirama ignored Danzo's unwillingness. He looked at the time and found that there was more than a minute left until half past nine.
He immediately took out four masks from the drawer.
One of them was covered on his face, and the other three were distributed to the three people who were going to travel through time.
Looking at the masks in their hands, the three asked in confusion: "Teacher, what is this?"
"In order not to cause any trouble to the village forty years later, just hide your identity a little and show the village's forehead protector."
"I see."
After hearing the reason given by Tobirama, the three of them quickly started to put on the masks.
When they put on the masks, the time was exactly half past nine.
In an instant, a rotating circular formation appeared under the feet of the four of them.
Before they could see the patterns on the formation clearly, with a flash of white light, the four disappeared in the office.
Akimichi Tofu, Utane Koharu, and Mitomon En looked at each other, without saying anything, but stood outside the office door in tacit understanding.
They would not allow anyone to enter until the four Senju Tobirama returned.
Konoha Village in the 61st year of Konoha.
In a small alley not far from the entrance of the village, with a wave of space fluctuations, Tobirama, wearing a mask, successfully arrived in Konoha forty years later.
"Where are Hiruzen and the others?"
Looking around, Tobirama did not see his three students.
He immediately realized that this time the four people should be randomly scattered anywhere in Konoha.
"I don't know where the three of them are?"
Standing there and thinking for a while, Tobirama decided not to look for them, but to rush to the management desk, where the Chunin Exam was held in the light curtain.
At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who appeared in the bathhouse, was being chased by a group of women.
Uchiha Kagami, who appeared in the suburbs of the village, asked a passerby and started to go to the Uchiha residence.
Danzo was very lucky. He appeared directly between the Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage. This undoubtedly saved him time on the road. He got there in one step. It was really a cause for celebration!
