Chapter 263: He Absolutely Cannot Control the Nine-Tails
"That's simple," Uchiha Douhuan nodded. Look at the awareness of the First Hokage. After being reincarnated by the Impure World Reincarnation, under the condition that he must hide his identity, logically, it wouldn't be too much for Uchiha Douhuan to find a way to set up a gambling den for him to play in. But all he asked for was a set of dice to pass the time.
"And the Second? Is there anything you need?" Uchiha Douhuan turned to look at Senju Tobirama. Although this old geezer seemed unfriendly towards him, he was still the village's Second Hokage. The respect that should be given must still be given.
"Can you send me the village's history from these past years? As the Second Hokage, I should have the right to know what has happened in the village all these years, right?" Senju Tobirama said, looking at Uchiha Douhuan.
Upon hearing Senju Tobirama's words, Uchiha Douhuan's expression remained as usual. However, Sarutobi Hiruzen became nervous instead.
The shady things Uchiha Douhuan had done before taking power were cleaned up immediately after he became Hokage. As for after taking office? Some secret matters, such as his contact with Orochimaru, left no records at all.
On the contrary, for Sarutobi Hiruzen, although Danzō had done all the dirty work for him, even some matters that looked fine on the surface were enough to make Senju Tobirama furious.
Putting other things aside, for the White Fang incident and the matter of Hyuga Hizashi, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think his little tricks could deceive his teacher's eyes.
"Of course, no problem. I've always heard Lord Third speak of the Second's wisdom. Now that there is a rare opportunity, I naturally want Lord Second Hokage to give some guidance," Uchiha Douhuan gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a reassuring look out of the corner of his eye, and then said.
Uchiha Douhuan took out a sealing scroll from the file cabinet and handed it to Senju Tobirama.
After Senju Tobirama took it, Uchiha Douhuan led the two back to the secret room where the Impure World Reincarnation had been used before.
"Then the two of you will stay here for tonight. I'll call someone over to help tidy up the rooms for you in a moment," Uchiha Douhuan said.
"It's so late, there's no need to trouble the village's ninjas," Senju Hashirama waved his hand and said. "We ninjas, what harsh environments haven't we stayed in? Making do for one night is no big deal."
"Then, please make yourselves at home, you two Hokage. I should be getting off work as well," Uchiha Douhuan said.
"First Hokage, Teacher, then I'll be going back too," Sarutobi Hiruzen also said at this time.
"You two go back. Don't worry about us," Senju Hashirama said.
After Uchiha Douhuan and Sarutobi Hiruzen left, Senju Hashirama directly found a place to sit cross-legged, planning to make do for the night. Senju Tobirama, on the other hand, opened the sealing scroll Uchiha Douhuan had given him.
After Uchiha Douhuan and Sarutobi Hiruzen left the Hokage Tower, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Uchiha Douhuan nervously in a low voice, "Douhuan, will there be any problem if we just show this to Lord Second Hokage directly?"
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked just like a naughty child who had caused trouble and was waiting anxiously for the judgment of his elders.
"Don't worry, Lord Third. I've already handled the village's history. I've pushed all the things that should be pushed onto Danzō onto that guy. After Lord Second Hokage finishes reading, at most he'll just be a little dissatisfied with you. He won't do anything to you," Uchiha Douhuan said with a suppressed laugh.
"Then I'm relieved," Sarutobi Hiruzen finally breathed a sigh of relief, then said gratefully, "Thank you for this, Douhuan."
"What is Lord Third saying? Didn't I say before? For the cohesion of the village, there can be no stain on the Hokage's hat," Uchiha Douhuan said with a light laugh.
"In any case, thank you," Sarutobi Hiruzen said, while thinking to himself.
[I'm sorry, Danzō. This is really, really the last time.]
...
"Damn you, Shimura Danzō! I was really blind back then! To have taken in such a disciple!" After reading the village's history for two hours, Senju Tobirama saw the records of Danzō colluding with Orochimaru, using orphans from the same village to research Hashirama's cells, and also ambushing the Uchiha clan in the war to seize their Sharingan, and was instantly enraged and cursed loudly.
Although he himself had also researched Hashirama's cells and the Sharingan, he had never been so deranged as to use orphans from his own village for experiments! And, no matter how much he disliked the Uchiha, he would never do something like ambushing a comrade on the battlefield!
Senju Tobirama had already made up his mind at this moment. After returning to the Pure Land, the first thing he would do was to find Danzō and clean up the family!
Senju Tobirama took a deep breath, then stood up.
"Tobirama, where are you going?" Senju Hashirama opened his eyes and asked.
"I'm going to take a walk around the village. I'll be back in a moment," Senju Tobirama said.
"Tobirama, you'll cause trouble for Douhuan and Monkey and the others like this," Senju Hashirama said.
"Don't worry, big brother. It'll be fine as long as I'm not seen," Senju Tobirama said. "Although my strength in this state is not as good as in my prime, if it's just a disguise, no one will be able to discover me."
After speaking, Senju Tobirama pushed open the door and left the secret room.
"Hey! Tobirama!" Senju Hashirama shook his head helplessly, then continued to close his eyes and rest. This younger brother of his had always been very opinionated on these matters.
...
Senju Clan Compound.
"Damn it! There's definitely something wrong with that casino! Can I really go 25 consecutive rounds of betting big or small without winning?" Tsunade walked into the clan compound, swaying, holding a wine bottle in one hand.
"Lady Tsunade, you've drunk too much again!" At this time, Shizune, upon hearing the noise, came out of the house. Looking at the obviously drunk Tsunade, a look of helplessness also appeared on her face.
"Lady Tsunade," at this time, Karin's mother also heard the noise, came out, and supported Tsunade from both sides, taking her back home.
"I'm not drunk! I'm very sober!" Tsunade shouted while acting drunk.
"Lady Tsunade, you went to the gambling den again?" Shizune said with a headache. "Lord Hokage has already sent someone to help you clear your gambling debts once this month. You should restrain yourself a little."
"Restrain what?" Tsunade said righteously. "I help him train so many medical-nin a year, how much salary do I get from him! It's only right that he helps me pay my debts!"
"Alright, alright, Lady Tsunade, you should rest first. You still have to go to work tomorrow," Uzumaki Anri said while helping Tsunade clean up. She was much more experienced than Shizune. She knew that before a drunkard sobered up, it was best to go along with whatever she said.
"Work? Work my ass! Shizune, help me ask for leave tomorrow morning!" After Tsunade finished speaking, she fell into a deep sleep.
Uzumaki Anri and Shizune exchanged a look, then helplessly helped Tsunade cover herself with the blanket, then turned off the light and left. Tsunade's room instantly fell into darkness.
After a while, a voice clearly suppressing anger sounded in the room.
"Tsunade!"
"Tsunade!"
"Who the hell is calling me in the middle of the night!" Tsunade, woken up by this voice, sat up abruptly.
"So you're finally awake?" The voice in the darkness said upon seeing this.
And Tsunade's response to this was only a powerful punch.
However, this punch directly hit empty air. And then, that figure appeared again behind Tsunade.
"You've really grown up, huh? You've even learned to fight me."
"You ghost-like fellow! Die for me!" Tsunade turned around, another punch.
However, this time, her wrist was directly grabbed.
"Have you become so lax? To only have this little strength at your age?" The newcomer's tone was filled with the anger of unmet expectations.
"Who on earth are you?" Tsunade's expression also became grave at this time. She began to use her chakra to break down the alcohol in her body. Although at this moment she was not in her best state due to being drunk, the person who could so lightly block her punch was by no means an ordinary person.
"Your second granduncle!" Senju Tobirama said.
"Your second granduncle!" Tsunade was instantly enraged upon hearing this, and her other fist swung up. She directly used her monstrous strength in this punch.
However, after a dizzying spin, Tsunade suddenly found that she had been moved from her room to the wild. At the same time, after losing her target, Tsunade also lost her balance and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
And at this time, by the moonlight, Tsunade finally got a clear look at the newcomer's face.
Well now, it really was her second granduncle.
"Second Granduncle?" Tsunade was stunned on the spot.
This Flying Thunder God Technique from Senju Tobirama just now undoubtedly proved his identity.
"Tsunade, you have truly disappointed me. Binge drinking, gambling. How can you bear the name of the Senju clan like this?"
In front of Senju Tobirama, Tsunade obediently received the scolding. As a child, Tsunade had always been very afraid of this stern second granduncle of hers. Senju Tobirama had only used two sentences to make her recall the memories of being disciplined as a child.
As for the question of the other's identity, the fluctuation of the other's chakra was exactly the same as the Senju Tobirama Tsunade was familiar with as a child. Plus that Flying Thunder God Technique just now, although she still didn't know why Senju Tobirama had been revived, Tsunade was certain that the other was her second granduncle.
After a round of scolding, Tsunade asked with a smiling face, "Um, Second Granduncle, why have you come back?"
"The village has run into a bit of trouble," Senju Tobirama said, and then explained the whole story to Tsunade.
"Damn Orochimaru! If he's dead, he's dead. Why did he have to cause such big trouble and disturb your rest, Second Granduncle," Tsunade said with righteous indignation after listening.
"Alright, I won't say more about other things. Tell me about the things that have happened over the years, especially about Uchiha Douhuan," Senju Tobirama said. With his sharp eyes, he could naturally see that there was something wrong with the village's history that Uchiha Douhuan had given him. So, Senju Tobirama chose to investigate himself.
"Douhuan?" Tsunade said upon hearing this. "He's been a pretty good Hokage these past few years. Although he came to power through a coup that drove the old man Third from the stage, the village has developed much better under his hands than under the old man Third's."
Although Tsunade liked to cause a little trouble for Uchiha Douhuan from time to time, she still acknowledged Uchiha Douhuan's work results. After all, what Uchiha Douhuan was having her do now was her dream from her early years. And she also knew how much it cost to train medical-nin on such a large scale as now. But these past few years, she didn't even need to ask for the medical school's funds; a large sum of money would be transferred to the account at the beginning of each month.
So, at this moment, when facing her second granduncle's question, Tsunade was not stingy in putting in a few good words for Uchiha Douhuan. However, Senju Tobirama's attention was attracted by a word in Tsunade's speech.
"A coup? This Fifth Hokage of his came to power through a coup?" Senju Tobirama let out a sharp cry.
"Uh, Second Granduncle, it can't really be counted like that. At that time, the situation in the village was that the old man Third was clinging to power. Douhuan's rise to power could actually be said to be the will of the people in the village," Tsunade said.
"Why are you speaking up for him like this? Haven't you considered that the Nine-Tails' rampage back then was controlled by him with his Mangekyo Sharingan? Judging by the time, he had the ability and the motive!" Senju Tobirama said.
"That's absolutely impossible," Tsunade said, directly and confidently, upon hearing this.
"Hmm?" Senju Tobirama's brows furrowed upon hearing this.
"With Uchiha Douhuan's genjutsu level, where even a Chunin in the village who specializes in genjutsu is better than him, if he could control the Nine-Tails, then I could win every casino in Tanzaku Quarters tomorrow. And, the culprit of the Nine-Tails' rampage has already been killed by him personally," Tsunade said.
Senju Tobirama: ???
"What did you say? An Uchiha's genjutsu level can be that bad?" Senju Tobirama said in disbelief. You must know, as an old rival of the Uchiha clan, even with his strength, he had a big headache with the Uchiha clan's genjutsu. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically developed a jutsu like the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique to counter the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.
But now, what did he just hear?
An Uchiha with a Mangekyo Sharingan was actually worse at genjutsu than some Chunin?
"Uh, um, Second Granduncle, you absolutely must not spread this around. This is a village secret," Tsunade said.
"Alright, I understand," Senju Tobirama nodded. "Tell me about the other things, especially the matter of the coup."
"Um... Second Granduncle, when Douhuan staged his coup, I wasn't in the village. So, I only have a partial understanding of this matter," Tsunade said.
"Then just tell me what you know. And tell me in detail what he has done after taking office," Senju Tobirama said.
"Alright," Tsunade nodded. Subsequently, the granduncle and grandniece chatted until almost dawn.
The next day, Senju Tobirama, who had returned to the secret room of the Hokage Tower, called out to Uchiha Douhuan with a serious expression when he came to greet them before work.
"Fifth, you are preparing for war right now, aren't you?"
