Tobirama Senju's face immediately darkened. He really hadn't expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to die, but the question was, how did he die?
"How did you die?"
My designated heir.
He actually died like that?
No, are monkeys really that bad?
Tsunade responded softly, "Killed."
Tobirama Senju's face grew increasingly dark, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who killed him?"
"I!"
Bai Mu said.
Before Tsunade could answer, Bai Mu answered the question first, saying that there was no need to hide anything and that it was what it was.
"Okay, I knew it."
Tobirama Senju was furious.
He looked at his older brother and began to rant: "Big brother, you see, I told you long ago that the inherently evil Uchiha are not to be trusted. I could tell at a glance that this guy is not a good person, and he is a very typical Uchiha."
I told you so long ago, how could you not believe me?
See that? They admitted it, how arrogant!
"Tobirama, calm down. Maybe something went wrong. And what's with the fact that the Hokage is that kid from the Sarutobi clan? Also, why did you die so young?"
Hashirama Senju was not as furious as Tobirama Senju, perhaps because Tsunade was the Hokage, so he did not believe that the Uchiha had done anything that would anger both heaven and man.
If that's the case, then the Uchiha clan member will become Hokage, meaning this young man will become Hokage, not Tsunade.
Surely it can't be that my granddaughter has a problem with this Uchiha Hakubaki?
If they did this, then there must be something wrong with Hiruzen Sarutobi's side. Otherwise, why would they kill him? For Hashirama Senju, anyone who threatens the village must be eliminated.
He killed even a close friend like Madara Uchiha without any mercy, let alone Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Therefore, Hashirama Senju felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi had done something, which led him to have his granddaughter and Hakumu join forces to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Brother, don't be fooled."
Tobirama Senju was furious when he heard this. Even though he was already dead, he was still very angry about it, which was unacceptable.
"Don't worry, I haven't been deceived." Regarding what Tobirama Senju said, Hashirama Senju believed that he had not been deceived. On the contrary, it was you who were provoked by the Uchiha and made a mistake in judgment.
"The successor I chose cannot be problematic." Tobirama Senju was confident in this; he did not believe there would be any issues.
"Second Grandfather, you're being too arbitrary." Tsunade couldn't help but complain when she saw this. Just as Bai Mu said, her second grandfather was sometimes too arrogant.
"What? Tsuna, what did Sarutobi do?" Tobirama Senju's expression changed immediately upon hearing this, and he questioned him right away.
However, he didn't wait for Tsunade's answer. Instead, he looked at Orochimaru and said, "Orochimaru, you answer."
"I won't participate, because when the coup happened, I wasn't in the village, I was on the front lines. However, based on the listed charges..."
"Roughly speaking, he was a weak Hokage who was tough on the outside but weak on the inside, inactive in dealing with problems, and allowed Danzo to plot against the village. He also started the Wood Release experiments, which killed a large number of test subjects. Many members of the Senju clan were involved, resulting in heavy losses..."
Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, Tobirama Senju, his face grim, interrupted him, saying in a deep voice, "Enough, no need to say any more."
Chapter 262 Tsunade is the Hokage, but the one in power is you, Uchiha Bai Mu!
The monkeys disappointed me greatly.
Although it was only a few words, he had roughly figured out some issues. Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's situation, he would inevitably suppress the ninja clans after taking power.
Tobirama Senju did not object to this, and he did the same thing.
But obviously, the methods weren't working. Then there was the Wood Release experiment, which made Tobirama Senju very angry because the Senju clan members got involved and suffered heavy losses, and so on.
Clearly, the number of deaths was far more than usual.
Look at Tsunade, there isn't a single clansman by her side, that's already a bad sign, so... wait, where's Nawaki?
What happened to my brother's grandson?
Tobirama Senju dared not think any further.
If anyone could participate in such an experiment, it would undoubtedly be Rope Tree.
Because he's the eldest brother's grandson, his bloodline is more suitable. Could it be that bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi...?
Tobirama Senju really didn't dare to think about it too much, but after looking at Tsunade, he felt it was unlikely. The monkey wouldn't be that crazy. But what about Danzo? Did he condone it?
It was used as a knife.
But the knife is out of control?
You're trash, you're really trash!
Wait, what did I overlook...?
Orochimaru was talking about a coup? Who staged the coup? Was it the Uchiha?
"Orochimaru, you said a coup, was it the Uchiha who launched the coup?" Tobirama Senju was furious. The Uchiha actually succeeded in their coup. That monkey was truly a piece of trash.
The chosen successor was overthrown in a coup by the Uchiha clan, and now the mastermind behind it has been resurrected using Edo Tensei. Is he trying to show off and flaunt his power?
Soon, Tobirama Senju began to understand the meaning behind it, and his gaze toward Bai Mu was filled with deep apprehension. This kid was too unpredictable.
"To be precise, it was Tsunade and Uchiha Hakubaki who launched the coup together," Orochimaru smiled and then corrected him.
Why a coup?
Hashirama Senju looked at his granddaughter Tsunade with a serious expression. So this was a coup d'état that led to her becoming Hokage, not through the proper channels, which he could not accept.
Tsunade turned her head away, unsure how to answer.
At this moment, Bai Mu spoke up, saying, "Special cases should be handled specially. Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other leaders disregarded the interests of the village. The remnants of the old era are not qualified to lead Konoha. We need young people to take the lead, and Tsunade is undoubtedly the most suitable."
"Hmph, it's true that Tsunade is the Hokage, but the one who truly holds power is you, isn't he?" Tobirama Senju sneered. He had seen through everything. It seemed that Tsunade was the Hokage, but in reality, the one in power was Uchiha Hakumu.
Tsunade is indeed the Hokage.
But the one who truly holds power is you, Uchiha Hakumu!
I, Tobirama Senju, have already seen through it. You succeeded by deceiving Tsunade. I knew how you succeeded; it seems you relied on Tsunade's identity.
Tobirama Senju was well aware that Tsunade's status was extremely special. If she were willing to take the position of Hokage, there would likely be little opposition, which was completely different from the Uchiha taking the position.
A member of the Uchiha clan could not possibly be the Hokage.
The opposition will inevitably be very strong.
But if it's Tsunade...
Hmph, that's different.
Damn, a brainy guy actually came out of the Uchiha clan?
Tobirama Senju was extremely wary. He hadn't expected Bai Mu to actually have a brain, not just some mindless Uchiha. "I knew this guy made me so uneasy..."
As expected, there's a reason for that. They're not mindless Uchiha; they're Uchiha with brains.
"I'm not the Hokage, so whether I'm in power or not isn't really the right word. If you're talking about who truly holds power, it should be her," Bai Mu shrugged and said casually.
When he got to the later part of the story, he specifically pointed to Alice Lizard next to him, because it was she who fulfilled the duties of the Hokage. She handled the Hokage's daily affairs and made the decisions.
If we're talking about power, then she's the one who truly holds it.
Thousand Hands Tobirama: "..."
What the hell?
Looking at Alice Lisse, who was younger than Tsunade and still had the innocence of a young girl, Tobirama Senju fell silent. The current Konoha was dominated by young people, but weren't they too young?
I think Tsunade is very young for someone in her thirties, but you...
He doesn't even look twenty years old, he's only in his teens, maybe seventeen or eighteen at most. And this is what he means by being in power? And what was the meaning of what Uchiha Hakumo said?
Tobirama Senju was a little confused. Why wasn't he in power, but a woman was?
The key question is, which ninja clan did they come from?
He didn't even know!
Furthermore, the other two women are not simple either.
Tobirama Senju then looked at Irene and Esdeath and realized that neither of them were simple people. He had no idea what was going on in Konoha.
That's true.
Alice Lise nodded, agreeing with a "0...".
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Tsunade doesn't do anything; I'm the one handling all the daily affairs of the Hokage."
If Tsunade isn't doing her job, then I'm the one doing the work. It's Tsunade's own problem, and she can't blame anyone else. If she had just been willing to put in some effort, I wouldn't be the one cleaning up her mess.
Tobirama Senju took a deep breath, turned around and glared angrily at Tsunade, his face contorted, clearly furious at her words.
"Tsuna, is that so?"
However, despite this, Tobirama Senju tried his best to remain calm and spoke in a relatively gentle tone, hoping that Tsunade would tell the truth.
"Uh, cough cough, Second Grandfather, it's not that I don't want to do things, it's just that there are some things that others would handle better, and Alice handles them better than I do..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tobirama Senju interrupted him, saying, "You are the Hokage!"
You seized power through a coup, so why do you have this kind of demand?
Is it acceptable to become Hokage and then do nothing?
Is this how you act as Hokage?
They do nothing and lack responsibility.
Why do you have to do this?
In short, Tobirama Senju was extremely angry about Tsunade's actions. She had already seized power through a coup, so why didn't she take control? Why did she have to delegate power? Wasn't she just giving that Uchiha, Bai Mu, the opportunity to take power?
Could all the women around him be his women?
