Chapter 134, Grandma 2?
During the First Shinobi World War, Tobirama, thanks to the Inuma Talisman, still looked young even after many years.
But at this moment, she was no longer young at heart. Looking at her bleeding abdomen, she realized that the protective charm left by Ningxia had been exhausted.
She is still recovering from her serious injuries, and beside her...
Looking at the students around him, Tobirama's eyes held a hint of determination.
"Sarutobi, Shimura..."
Tobirama called out the names of his students one by one, indicating that someone was needed to cover the rear, and wondered if any of them would be willing.
Upon learning that they were to cover the rear, everyone hesitated. Danzo was the quickest to make up his mind, but as he felt the stinging pain in his shoulder, his initial enthusiasm turned into fear.
Tobirama always kept an eye on the students. She was somewhat disappointed by Danzo's performance, but she didn't blame him. Death is a fear deeply rooted in human nature.
Even she couldn't completely control herself, let alone these young people.
After a fierce internal struggle, Danzo finally made up his mind that even if he died, he would give Konoha hope!
But someone else spoke first.
"Teacher, let me cover the rear!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands were still trembling, but his eyes were exceptionally resolute. He was still sharp as the years had not yet dulled his spirit, and he knew very well that exchanging a Hokage student for the Hokage position was a very worthwhile deal.
This surprised Danzo, but also brought a sense of relief; at least... he wasn't the one who was going to die.
Looking at the young man who had mustered up his courage, Tobirama smiled gently. She rarely smiled, and even these students had hardly ever seen her smile.
In particular, that genuine, relaxed smile eased the otherwise heavy atmosphere.
The young people couldn't help but blush. Even though Tobirama was already old enough to be called a grandmother, she could definitely be called the most beautiful woman in Konoha.
However, this most beautiful woman never married. Some say she was waiting for a man, while others say she married herself off to Konoha.
But Danzo and Sarutobi vaguely remembered that there was a man beside Tobirama who had played the zither...
The man's features were blurred, and they couldn't remember who he was, and Tobirama never mentioned him.
"Sarutobi".
Tobirama spoke calmly, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi with satisfaction in his eyes, before solemnly declaring, "From today onwards, you are the Hokage."
Sarutobi, who was preparing to die, was stunned and didn't react for a moment. Danzo next to him was dumbfounded. Sarutobi had become Hokage?
"Teacher, I..."
"No need to say anything more. Everyone, remember this: when you return, you must do your best to assist Sarutobi. The future of Konoha rests on your shoulders."
"teacher……"
Everyone felt a lump in their throat. Tobirama was a qualified teacher; aside from occasionally being wary of the Uchiha, he was completely open with everyone.
Even Uchiha Kagami.
After spending so many years together, it would be a lie to say that Danzo wasn't heartbroken to witness his teacher's death. Even he couldn't help but cry.
"Don't cry! Sarutobi, the road ahead will be difficult, but I hope you will persevere."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tobirama used Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, leaving everyone still grieving.
Remembering Tobirama's entrustment, Sarutobi disregarded his grief and immediately ordered a retreat, otherwise he would be letting his teacher down.
Kinkaku and Ginkaku were also surprised to see Tobirama covering the rear, but they quickly revealed a smug smile. The Second Raikage was already dead, and now the Second Hokage would also become their achievement.
"bring it on."
Tobirama, holding a kunai, was prepared to die with Ningxia. She might not live to see Ningxia return, but the Gold and Silver Brothers wouldn't survive either!
This time, Tobirama stopped suppressing himself and unleashed a barrage of forbidden techniques, leaving Kinkaku and Ginkaku completely helpless.
However, Tobirama's injuries were too severe, and he gradually began to lose his strength, eventually allowing Kinkaku to seize an opening...
Just when Tobirama thought he was going to die, his body suddenly returned to its peak condition, and he barely managed to dodge the attack with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Looking at the bewildered Gold and Silver Brothers, Tobirama realized that it was Ningxia's power.
Using the famous sword left behind by Ningxia, Tobirama successfully killed the Gold and Silver Brothers, but he was exhausted and lay on the ground with his eyes gradually becoming unfocused.
"I really want to see Ningxia again..."
Tobirama murmured softly, but just then, a familiar voice came:
"Hey, hey... don't just leave your last words, especially such embarrassing ones."
Ningxia squatted down beside Tobirama, indicating that he hadn't arrived too late and had at least managed to rescue Tobirama.
"Ningxia? Am I hallucinating? My body is gradually losing sensation, is this what dying feels like? It's like I'm going to..."
Seeing Tobirama rambling incoherently and her soul about to leave her body, Ningxia's lips twitched, and she forcibly brought her back.
"Ningxia? Am I dreaming?"
Coming to his senses, Tobirama suddenly stood up and carefully examined Ningxia in front of him. She looked exactly the same as before he left.
"Okay, stop pinching, let's get out of here!"
Ningxia watched as Tobirama kept pinching his face, her lips twitched, and she said in an annoyed tone.
"Huh? Hmm..."
Tobirama belatedly realized what was happening and pulled Ningxia away from the battlefield using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
On the way back, Tobirama recounted his experiences.
After Ningxia left, the hawks of the Uchiha clan became restless. One of them even captured the Nine-Tails, but was easily subdued by Hashirama, a wood clone, and the Nine-Tails was sealed away.
This matter was likely caused by Izumi Nagisa of Rinboku, but it seems that she gave up afterward.
Immediately afterwards, the five great nations began capturing tailed beasts to use as nuclear weapons. Originally, Hashirama, the Wood Clone, wanted to capture one himself and deliver it to her, but she held him back with Ningxia's anger.
But the tailed beasts becoming nuclear weapons was a done deal, and Tobirama couldn't do anything about it.
Later, Itama's goddaughter, Dai, gave birth to Tsunade, who was the apple of Hashirama's eye, and thus earned the nickname Princess Tsunade.
Itama later passed away peacefully, but he died with a smile on his face, having already held his granddaughter.
"Then Hashirama's clones ran out of chakra, and the First Shinobi World War began."
"right."
Ningxia shook his head. This ending was inevitable. In order to get back as soon as possible, he didn't want to get involved anymore. If it weren't for Tobirama, he would have gone back to the present time directly.
"After this, you're considered dead in everyone's eyes. Tobirama, it's time for you to go back."
Ningxia wanted to settle Tobirama quickly so she could continue traveling back in time, but Tobirama suddenly changed his demeanor and gently hugged Ningxia.
"I've waited for you for so long, and now that we've met... you're going to leave me?"
Tobirama's tone was as plaintive as a wronged young wife, and... she even started using consonants!
Turning his head little by little, he saw Tobirama's aggrieved expression. Isn't this something only Hashirama would do? Tobirama, you've changed.
After Tobirama's persistent pleading, Ningxia finally agreed to let her stay for a few days.
Having already handed over the Hokage position to Sarutobi, Tobirama has decided to completely relinquish control and take Ningxia home.
"Do we really want to stay here...?"
Ningxia looked at the house and thought, "Isn't this my home?"
It seems that Tobirama moved in right after I left.
"Let's stop talking about this, let's... hurry up."
The years of separation had left Tobirama irrational, and he pulled Ningxia towards the room.
As soon as he opened the door, Tobirama ran into a blonde little girl.
"Second...Second Grandma?"
