After the Konoha Ninja appeared behind Senju Hashirama.
These Ninja looked at Senju Hashirama, their faces filled with excitement, and they quickly and respectfully said:
"Shodai(1st)-sama!"
Their clear voices echoed above everyone.
After speaking, this group of Konoha Ninja simultaneously looked towards Uchiha Madara and Yūto in front, their faces showing shared hatred for the enemy.
"What is this?"
Senju Hashirama looked at the appearing Konoha Ninja, slightly stunned.
Tsunade strode to Senju Hashirama's side, her eyes filled with anger as she looked towards Yūto and Uchiha Madara:
"Konoha Village doesn't just need Grandfather to protect it. Konoha is a place where everyone lives and grows together, and we will also fight to the death to protect this place!"
"Anyone who wants to destroy Konoha, all of us will fight to the end!"
"Strength of a Hundred Seal: Release!"
Tsunade formed hand seals and let out a low shout, a vast amount of Chakra rapidly surged from her body.
Immediately, the diamond-shaped mark on Tsunade's forehead rapidly began to expand, connecting to the center of her entire forehead.
"Konoha won't be destroyed that easily!"
Jiraiya also stood beside Senju Hashirama, his face serious, and slammed his hands onto the ground.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang! Bang!
As the two clouds of smoke dissipated, Fukasaku and Shima from Mount Myōboku simultaneously stood on Jiraiya's shoulders.
"What a tense atmosphere."
As soon as Fukasaku appeared, he surveyed the surroundings, his voice carrying a hint of seriousness.
"As expected, did something big happen in Konoha?"
Shima's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression serious.
"Both Sage, I'll leave it to you!"
Jiraiya said respectfully.
Shima and Fukasaku exchanged glances, then nodded, their two frog paws pressed together!
Boom!
The next moment, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Jiraiya's body.
Sage Mode!
Jiraiya laughed heartily, looking at the indifferent Uchiha Madara and Yūto opposite him, and loudly declared:
"Your battle with Shodai(1st)-sama is over, now it's a battle against Konoha!"
Feeling the Sage Art Chakra surging from Jiraiya's body, and seeing the two frogs on his shoulders, Senju Hashirama's face showed a hint of surprise.
"Is that Mount Myōboku's Sage Art? It's truly astonishing."
Senju Hashirama's voice carried a tone of surprise.
"Yes, Shodai(1st)-sama."
Hearing Senju Hashirama's words, Jiraiya quickly replied.
Shodai(1st)-sama??
Hearing this address, Fukasaku and Shima exchanged confused glances, then simultaneously looked at Jiraiya.
Noticing the gazes of Fukasaku and Shima, Jiraiya softly said:
"That's right, it's Konoha's First Hokage, Lord Hashirama Senju."
Fukasaku and Shima had stunned expressions on their faces, taking a moment to process it.
"Then who are those two people opposite you?"
A very bad premonition suddenly arose in Fukasaku's heart, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Uchiha Madara and First Mizukage Yūto."
Jiraiya said with a heavy expression.
Shima's eyelids twitched violently, and he turned his head to look at Fukasaku on Jiraiya's other shoulder:
"Old Man, we aren't dreaming, are we?"
While Fukasaku and Shima were still somewhat stunned.
A green figure flashed and also appeared at the very front of the battlefield.
"Now is the time for Konoha's Proud Blue Beast to make his appearance, right, Kakashi!"
Might Guy's voice was full of fighting spirit as he looked at Uchiha Madara and Yūto opposite him.
Kakashi walked out from behind Might Guy, pulled down his eye patch, crouched slightly, his expression solemn, showing no intention of replying to Might Guy.
Seeing Kakashi not respond, Might Guy didn't mind and tightly clenched his fists, roaring:
"Eight Gates Released Formation! Gate of Opening, open! Gate of Healing, open! Gate of Life, open! Gate of Pain, open!"
Might Guy opened four gates consecutively, and a blue Chakra instantly enveloped his entire body.
Not only did Tsunade and others erupt with intense auras, but the rest of the Konoha Ninja also simultaneously prepared for battle, their expressions resolute!
Is this the current Konoha?
Seeing this scene before him, Senju Hashirama's eyes flickered slightly, and the solemn expression on his face suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, Senju Hashirama put his hands on his hips, looked at Yūto and Uchiha Madara, and burst into hearty laughter, showing a simple-minded expression.
"Madara! Yūto! See, this is the peace I want to uphold!"
Senju Hashirama said to Uchiha Madara and Yūto while laughing.
Uchiha Madara crossed his arms, his face indifferent, watching Jiraiya, Tsunade, and others among the Konoha ranks erupt with not-weak auras, and couldn't help but frown.
When Uchiha Madara heard Senju Hashirama's words and saw his simple-minded smile.
Uchiha Madara's eyelid twitched, and he slowly opened his mouth and uttered two words:
"Idiot!"
Yūto, standing in the other direction, looked at the scene of the large number of Konoha Ninja gathering behind Senju Hashirama, and also couldn't help but frown.
Especially when he saw Might Guy standing at the front of the crowd, Yūto let out a soft sigh and said helplessly:
"This is really troublesome!"
"Hahahaha!!!"
At this moment, Senju Hashirama's hearty laughter continuously echoed across the entire battlefield.
Everyone's gaze was directed towards Senju Hashirama, who was laughing heartily in the center of the battlefield.
The somewhat oppressive atmosphere was forcefully dispelled by the laughter.
The Konoha Ninja, who had been filled with a resolute aura, couldn't help but show embarrassed expressions as Senju Hashirama laughed.
If they didn't know that the person laughing in front was the First Hokage, someone probably would have already covered Senju Hashirama's mouth.
Bang!
A fist slammed onto Senju Hashirama's head, Tsunade's face was red with suppressed anger, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"Grandfather!!"
Senju Hashirama stopped laughing, rubbed his head, and showed an innocent expression.
Seeing Tsunade's murderous gaze, Senju Hashirama quickly put on a serious expression, raised his head, and looked at Uchiha Madara and Yūto in front:
"Do you want to fight again! Now it's you against all of Konoha!"
Uchiha Madara and Yūto's expressions simultaneously sank.
Uchiha Madara's face was ugly not because of the Konoha Ninja, but because if he really fought against all of Konoha.
As long as Yūto was there, he would have to spend half of his energy constantly guarding against Yūto.
And the reason for Yūto's ugly expression was Might Guy. Others might not know, but how could he not know?
"Hmph! Hashirama, I'll let you have your moment this time."
Uchiha Madara let out a cold snort towards Senju Hashirama, and with a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
"This game has just begun. Since you want to make a move, let's use the entire Ninja World as the board."
Yūto twisted his neck and said in a calm voice.
The next moment, Yūto's entire body turned into a black streak of light, disappearing from the eyes of the numerous Konoha Ninja in the blink of an eye.
After a moment had passed, and he sensed that the presences of Uchiha Madara and Yūto had completely disappeared.
Senju Hashirama turned around to look at Tsunade beside him and said with a smile:
"You won the gamble."
As Senju Hashirama's words sounded, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kakashi, what's going on?"
Might Guy looked at Kakashi, who had just sighed in relief, with a look of surprise, his voice full of confusion.
"Idiot..."
Kakashi straightened up, pulled his forehead protector back down, and said softly.
