Chapter 73 You Regret My Shadow

But the bad news for Konoha was far more than that. On the second day after the news of Senju Tobirama's death came out, the Sand Ninja suddenly sent a large number of ninjas into the territory of the Land of Fire.

On the other hand, the Rock Ninja were also secretly mobilizing ninjas. The Grass Country was almost occupied by the Rock Ninja, and the war was about to break out.

Senju House.

Hiruzen scowled as he looked at Tsunade kneeling beside the coffin, not knowing what to say.

Why did he, as a member of the Hokage's guard, survive, but the Hokage died?

Even though everyone knew that it was not Sarutobi Hiruzen's fault, the fact was the fact, and Sarutobi Hiruzen himself was also bearing the pain in his heart.

Senju Tobirama's body was sent back by Kagami, and Hiruzen immediately sent it back to the Senju family, strictly forbidding anyone to touch it, not even Danzo and his Anbu.

Tsunade didn't feel sad at all when she heard the news, but she was stunned for a long time.

She looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief until she saw Senju Tobirama in the coffin.

"cough......"

An old voice sounded from the courtyard, and Gu Zang crawled out of the room tremblingly.

"Mr. Gu Zang!"

Hiruzen quickly tried to go over and help support Kozo, but even as he raised his hands, his feet stopped where they were.

He remembered what Senju Tobirama had told him.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Gu Zang seemed to be dying, but he did not dare to get too close to Gu Zang or trust him too much.

"Ahem... Tobirama..."

Gu Zang walked to the side of the coffin as if no one was around. The short distance seemed to have exhausted his strength. When he reached the coffin, he leaned directly against the side of it, just like the day Hashirama died.

"I remember telling you a long time ago that if you plan too carefully, you will eventually die from miscalculation... Tobirama, you are tired too..."

The old Gu Zang groped the edge of the coffin with his claws, and those claws seemed to become a little soft and faded along with Gu Zang's weak body.

"Take a rest if you are tired. The future can be handed over to the young people."

Kozo looked at Hiruzen.

"Ahem... Hiruzen, Tobirama trusts you the most, don't let him down. Konoha... is the hard work of Hashirama and Tobirama..."

Hiruzen frowned and nodded in agreement.

He tried hard not to doubt this old, insect-shaped spiritual beast.

Even in this state, Kozo still did not forget the Konoha founded by Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama. How could he let himself be treated as an imaginary enemy and be on guard against such a summoning beast?!

Gu Zang slowly moved away from the coffin in Tobirama and waved to Hiruzen behind him.

"I'm old, but I won't die yet. Ahem... Hiruzen, if the village is in danger, you must wake me up from my sleep. I will fight for Konoha one last time."

Both Hiruzen and Tsunade had tears in their eyes.

In their eyes, Kozo and Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju are the same. They work tirelessly for this village and will devote themselves to it until the last moment.

Gu Zang left behind an old figure and returned to the house without any sound.

Hiruzen and Tsunade didn't want to disturb Kozo's rest anymore.

At midnight.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo started arguing in the Hokage Building.

The war situation was critical, and many of the projects left behind by Senju Tobirama needed to go through Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands and eyes. He was very busy, but Danzo came to ask for Senju Tobirama's body.

"Huruzen! It's too unsafe to leave the teacher's body in the Senju family! Mr. Kozo is old and it's difficult for him to protect the teacher's body!"

"Danzo! I told you, no one is allowed to touch the teacher's body! Including you!"

"Hiruzen! Don't you understand?!"

Danzo slammed his hand on the table, and the one-eyed Danzo looked even more sinister.

"I won't monopolize the teacher's body, but if you don't take it back to the Anbu and leave it there like that, something bad will happen sooner or later!"

"No, I promised Tsunade, this is non-negotiable."

Hiruzen's tone was firm.

Danzo looked at Hiruzen who refused to give in, gritted his teeth and a sound came out from between his teeth.

"Hiruzen! You will regret this."

"Danzo!"

Hiruzen suddenly raised his voice.

"I am the Hokage!"

The two were arguing with each other when the door of the Hokage's office was pushed open.

Mitomon En looked at the two of them with a cold expression.

"The Nidaime-sama's body is still warm, and you two are still arguing here. I think Konoha no longer needs unity or the Will of Fire. Why don't you just fight each other and let the ninja world laugh at you and destroy Konoha? What do you think of my suggestion?"

"Hmph!" X2

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and snorted coldly.

At this time, Utane Koharu's voice came from behind Mitomon En.

"You two, since Nidaime-sama is away, we should unite even more. Yan and I plan to help Hiruzen gain the power of Hokage as soon as possible. Danzo, at this time, you should also help Hiruzen. We are one."

Help? Of course I would, even though the Hokage belonged to Hiruzen, not Danzo.

But Danzo firmly believed that no one loved Konoha more deeply than he, Danzo Shimura.

Even if there was a conflict with Hiruzen, it would be between the two of them and would not escalate to the level of the village.

"Huruzen! I repeat, Sensei's body is not safe. You can't ignore it because of your promise to Tsunade."

"Hand over the Anbu, yes, Danzo, your position as Anbu captain must also be handed over!"

Hiruzen was angry with Danzo, but unexpectedly Danzo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he actually laughed.

"Haha...Okay, it's settled!"

Danzo's face darkened as he shook off Mitomon En's obstruction and pushed the door open.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu looked at each other, all a little at a loss.

In Danzo's view, the Anbu Captain-in-Chief is directly under the Hokage and is inferior to Hiruzen. He would rather not do this, because sooner or later, Hiruzen will feel guilty and beg him to go back.

Just as the two were arguing in the Hokage Building, the body of Senju Tobirama, whom they were talking about, faced the most dangerous moment.

Under the moonlight, Tsunade had fallen asleep, and the only sound left beside the coffin was a salivating voice.

"Hehe... Tobirama... Now, you are in my hands..."

Gu Zang's voice was full of desire. The body of Senju Tobirama smelled so good.

But he was debating whether to swallow it whole or just part of it.

With the strength of Senju Tobirama, there is no difference in the improvement of Gu Zang whether swallowing the whole cell or swallowing part of the cell.

The main difference is, can swallowing Tobirama's body completely eliminate the possibility of Senju Tobirama coming back to life again?

Gu Zang felt that this was unlikely. It was almost impossible for someone like Senju Tobirama to not have a backup plan, especially since the war was about to start.

Even if he swallowed him, he probably left behind other cell tissues to prevent the body from being destroyed. Especially since he had planned to cut off his stomach, he must have explained every step clearly and left a backup plan.

Moreover, once he swallowed Senju Tobirama completely, he would not be able to stay in Konoha no matter how he explained it. This old silver coin Senju Tobirama must have said something to Hiruzen. During the day, Gu Zang saw Hiruzen's hesitation very clearly.

"How tempting, Senju Tobirama... However, for the sake of my invincibility, I will spare you for now..."

Gu Zang muttered, dug out a small piece of tissue from Senju Tobirama's wound, swallowed it into his mouth, and was digested by the system.

After swallowing it, Gu Zang returned to the house, feeling the changes in his body and cognition.

The strength of the body did not increase much. After all, although Tobirama Senju's physique was very strong, after being strengthened by his counterpart Hashirama Senju, Tobirama's physique could only be considered a bonus.

However, he has completely mastered the release of the forbidden techniques left by Senju Tobirama, as well as some water-style ninjutsu.

"What a treasure, Senju Tobirama~ Hahahaha!!"
