Chapter 99: I am the Second Hokage, the Spokesperson for Water Style Ninjas
Uchiha Fugaku's face was covered in black lines. Although the Uchiha clan held clan meetings frequently, putting an issue like how to handle the Second Hokage on the agenda, no matter how you looked at it, seemed like a ridiculous decision!
Kitahara glanced at Tobirama Senju, who was originally sitting upright. Upon hearing that his issue might be placed on the Uchiha clan meeting agenda, his cushion seemed to have stiffened, and he was constantly shifting his body.
Somehow... the crow was suddenly reminded of a certain bald-headed big shot who inspected an ancient city in the mid-1930s. How similar this scene was!
The Second Hokage had tried every means to suppress the Uchiha clan, and even their clan grounds were continuously pushed away from the village core by Tobirama Senju and his disciples. Now, he had fallen into the hands of a crow in the Uchiha clan head's house!
Even if he was a dead person...
Kitahara's heart suddenly jolted, struck by a flash of inspiration, "Caw!"
Both Uchiha Itachi and Tobirama Senju could understand its meaning, and both their faces were covered in black lines. This crow was actually proposing to secretly collaborate with someone to manipulate events, force the Third Hokage to abdicate, then expose the matter, thereby allowing the deceased Tobirama Senju to take the position of Hokage!
"...Kitahara, be serious!"
This method, no matter how you looked at it, was too unrealistic! If it could really be done, those ninjas in Konoha who yearned for the position of Hokage would probably cry their eyes out!
For example, the certain someone Kitahara proposed contacting was the leader of Konoha's private army, who had waited for decades for the position of Hokage to fall upon him. After the Fourth Hokage's sacrifice, he thought it was his chance, but as a result, the Third Hokage took the stage again.
If he were to be played by the Uchiha clan, he would probably go mad in his old age...
What was the meaning of this?
A reverse succession for the Hokage position?
If the Second Hokage stepped down, would the position then revert to the First Hokage? If Konoha didn't mind that the First and Second were reanimated, it could actually work...
Uchiha Fugaku shook his head forcefully, "Our clan, after all, still belongs to the village. Moreover, the conflict between the clan and the village's leadership has eased somewhat..."
Kitahara raised an eyebrow. Back then, that person was still sworn brothers with the bald-headed big shot!
Unfortunately, it couldn't explain that historical case in detail. Otherwise, with some careful manipulation, there was a certain possibility of changing the entire structure of Konoha and achieving internal harmony in a practical sense.
With the crow's eloquence, it was also unable to persuade Fugaku and Itachi. The matter returned to square one.
Uchiha Fugaku had a bit of a headache. How could Orochimaru be so incompetent as to let their family's crow snatch control of the Second Hokage... although he had never thought Kitahara could use the Edo Tensei jutsu.
The old father glanced at the Second Hokage, "What a big trouble!"
Tobirama Senju: "..."
Aren't you all the big trouble in the village!
What evil Uchiha! The only reason I'm in this ghostly state is because you raised an evil crow! Look at its eyes, completely blood-red, how evil!
Unfortunately, Fugaku couldn't hear Lord Second Hokage's internal monologue...
"Although Lord Second Hokage once used political means to isolate the entire Uchiha clan, causing the current rift between the village and us..."
Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and continued, "But he is still a meritorious subject to the entire village. We are also a part of the village and must respect him. Kitahara, can you release the Edo Tensei jutsu?"
"Caw!"
The crow's eyes rolled. It could say it doesn't know how!
Uchiha Itachi rubbed his forehead, "Kitahara doesn't..."
"I can!"
Tobirama Senju stood up. As the developer of the Edo Tensei jutsu, he also knew how to release the technique. After speaking, he prepared to form hand seals...
Then his body froze stiffly in place.
The crow spread its wings and landed in front of Tobirama Senju, "Caw? Caw?"
Do you know how hard it was for me to learn Edo Tensei?
Do you know how difficult it was to snatch the remains from an S-rank Konoha rogue ninja?
"..."
Tobirama Senju was silent, not knowing what to say. If even a crow could learn it, it proved that the Edo Tensei he researched wasn't that difficult to learn!
And that Konoha rogue ninja had directly performed the Edo Tensei ritual in front of the enemy, which meant the situation he faced was very dangerous. And the rogue ninja's enemy was only the crow before him...
A pile of nonsense...
Edo Tensei could control a person's body but couldn't change their will. Tobirama Senju had already guessed that the crow had some conditions waiting for him; there must be something it needed him to do voluntarily.
"Just say what you have to say!"
It was nothing more than those forbidden jutsus he had once developed!
Truly an evil crow raised by the evil Uchiha!
Look at this family's older brother, actually flicking his own younger brother's forehead! Think of their Senju of the Forest's older brother, who treated his younger brother with the utmost love!
Look at this family's younger brother, what a waste, actually letting his older brother act recklessly! Think of their Senju of the Forest clan's younger brother, who would proactively correct his older brother's mistakes!
Since the crow disagreed with releasing the Edo Tensei and proactively sent Tobirama Senju away from Konoha, the Uchiha Fugaku couple could only pretend not to know about Tobirama Senju's reanimation. They would not interfere in a family member's decision.
The next day, in the Land of Water.
Kisame Hoshigaki carried Samehada in one hand and dragged a small fellow with spiky hair in the other. The two had just fought a battle, and the victor was, of course, the shark-faced young man.
As a result, a crow suddenly appeared before him... It wasn't accompanied by the genius ninja of the Sharingan clan. Appearing with it seemed to be the idol of their Hidden Mist Village ninjas!
"Hey, hey, hey, am I seeing things!"
Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Tobirama Senju in surprise, "This guy is the Second Hokage, right! He's the strongest Water Style ninja in history!"
Any ninja proficient in Water Style almost certainly knew of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. This was a fact that made generations of Mizukage in the Hidden Mist Village weep.
A Hokage was actually publicly acknowledged as the strongest in Water Style in the ninja world. Even their Hidden Mist Village had to try every means to obtain Water Style ninjutsu from Konoha ninjas.
For a great nation's ninja village, it was truly a great sorrow...
Perhaps because some ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village once had astonishing talent and developed a powerful Water Style ninjutsu on their own. Just as they were making a name for themselves in the ninja world with this jutsu, they would hear a knowledgeable person praise them for actually being able to learn a certain Water Style developed by Tobirama Senju.
A not-so-famous ninja going to compete with the Konoha Hokage for the naming rights of a Water Style? It was unjustifiable in terms of time, reason, and strength!
What could be done at this time?
（╯‵□′）╯︵┴─┴
Can't help but want to flip a table and curse someone...
┬─┬ノ('-'ノ)
But one still has to endure... That bastard Tobirama Senju himself was so strong that no one dared to provoke him, let alone the fact that he had the entire Konoha behind him!
( ^▽^ )…
And on the surface, one still had to maintain a humble smile. Yes, yes, I didn't expect to be able to learn this jutsu either. The Second Hokage who developed this jutsu is truly amazing!
It wasn't until after Tobirama Senju's death that the variety of Water Style ninjutsu in the Hidden Mist Village began to increase again, but in terms of power, they were clearly more than a notch below the Second Hokage's ninjutsu...
As a result, the great Lord Hokage became the spokesperson for Water Style...
