Orochimaru and the Kage watched Funan in silence.
"I see. You still choose to turn Konoha into a battlefield?" Orochimaru said in a mocking tone. "Hokage-sama, you really are a ruthless man!"
Funan laughed wildly and said: "Zehahaha! As long as I can get rid of you all at once, what are these sacrifices? I, Uchiha Funan, am ruthless!"
'We don't believe a word you say!' they all thought in unison, with expressions of disgust.
There was no need to think too much; it was clear that Funan had already planned everything.
The villagers had probably already been evacuated and those left behind were those who opposed him. After all, Funan had anticipated their every move and now planned to fight without restraint.
"Funan, is there something you haven't anticipated?" Orochimaru asked coldly.
"Of course!" Funan stared at him. "Tell me, did you guys capture Rasa or… kill him?"
"We killed him!" Orochimaru replied matter-of-factly. "We didn't understand why Rasa was so loyal to you. To be on the safe side, we decided to eliminate him. He's still a Kage, after all. Killing him was the safest course."
"Really?" Funan sighed.
Rasa's death was a great loss. He had been instrumental in stabilizing Sunagakure, and his Magnet Release could have brought in enormous wealth.
Now, he is dead.
Kakuzu is probably going to be angry to death.
Funan gave Orochimaru a strange look. If he survived the battle in Konoha, he would have to watch out for Kakuzu. For money, that man would not hesitate to pursue Orochimaru to the ends of the earth.
With his abilities, Kakuzu could cause a lot of trouble even for someone of Orochimaru's level.
"Funan-kun, do you mind answering a question for me?"
"Of course, please go ahead!"
Orochimaru stared at Funan and said, "How is it that the Konoha forces, which were supposedly displaced, are still in the village?"
"Orochimaru, when did you become so naive?" Funan laughed loudly. "How could you possibly know the true extent of Konoha's military power? Throughout the entire village…" He pointed at himself. "Only I know!"
"Understood…" Orochimaru nodded with a smile. "Then, let's begin. Funan-kun, are you ready to receive my gift?"
"Of course! I'm looking forward to it."
"Okay. Here goes the first one!"
[Boom!]
With a rumble, the ground shook. A giant three-headed snake emerged from underground and roared as it charged towards the Hokage Rock. Behind it, a one-eyed snake covered in scars followed. Its colossal size and terrifying appearance were enough to instill fear.
As they advanced, everything in their path was reduced to rubble. No shinobi could stop them.
"Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique!"
Jiraiya's thunderous voice echoed out as a gigantic toad appeared, crushing the three-headed snake and leaving it severely injured.
"Hahaha, little snakes, come on! Toad Sage Jiraiya will send you on your way!" Jiraiya shouted, laughing loudly from the toad's head. His gaze shifted to the main platform, where his expression turned serious and he thought, 'Orochimaru, you finally decided to act!'
'Old man, what about you? Where are you? What role do you play in this chaos?'
At this moment, Jiraiya didn't know that Asuma had already taken action.
Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya coldly and smiled strangely. "That idiot, tsk, tsk, I actually forgot about him."
"Poor Jiraiya, is his existence so irrelevant?" Funan shook his head and sighed. "He loves you so much, he adores you madly. How could you forget him?"
"Humph! Funan-kun, prepare for my second gift."
Without answering, Orochimaru sent out a signal. Instantly, a forest of bones emerged, spreading rapidly and covering everything. Then, it was engulfed by burning flames that melted it little by little.
Kimimaro had sprung into action, but he soon faced a new opponent: Pakura.
"Pakura?" Orochimaru said, his expression even more grim.
Kimimaro was one of his strongest cards. He had used a special drug to enhance Kimimaro's abilities, truly bringing him to the level of a Kage.
Of course, the price was high: after this battle, Kimimaro would die without a doubt.
"Do you have anything else?" Funan asked, laughing arrogantly. "Maybe the Oto-nin? Zehahaha. Those shinobi aren't much use. I still have over five thousand shinobi in Konoha ready to go into battle."
Five thousand?
Surprise was reflected on the faces of the Kage present.
"Orochimaru, stop wasting time and act at once!" The Raikage shouted coldly.
[Swish! Swish! Swish!]
Suddenly, figures began to appear one after another in front of them.
They were the Kage's bodyguards.
On the other hand, Yako appeared next to Funan, slightly adjusting her glasses.
"A member of the Uzumaki clan..." Orochimaru shot a piercing glance at Yako, before laughing coldly. "Funan-kun, I suppose this person is no ordinary person, right?"
"Of course!" Funan replied proudly. "My Yako has a strength that is easily among the top five in Konoha."
Funan looked towards the Kage bodyguards and said, "Just now, your men already had the chance to see for themselves."
Yako had been facing several of them, and although she had not used her full strength, she managed to keep them busy, thus demonstrating her power.
"Hokage-sama!" Yako said calmly. "There are too many of them. Call for reinforcements."
Hearing this, Orochimaru laughed while clapping his hands.
[Swish!]
Four people appeared on the periphery.
"Four Violet Flames Formation!"
Just like in the original timeline, a large barrier enveloped Funan and the others.
Funan raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Those four… Orochimaru, I must admit, your men are impressive."
"Don't worry, Funan-kun!" Orochimaru said, "These people will not intervene in the battle. Their purpose is just to stop those who want to hinder us."
"It doesn't matter!" Funan waved his hand at the others and said: "Come on, you guys!"
"Funan-kun, you think too much." Orochimaru made seals with his hands and laughed wantonly, "Your opponents are not us."
[Bang! Bang!]
Two coffins appeared in front of them.
Funan looked towards the Kage present, whose expressions remained unchanged, and said, "Raikage, Tsuchikage, are you not worried about this technique? Be careful, lest Orochimaru dig up the graves of your ancestors as well!"
"We're more worried about you," the Raikage replied coldly. "If we can get rid of you, we can rest easy. As for the reincarnation technique, Orochimaru has already promised to seal it away once we're done with you."
Funan looked at the Raikage with interest.
[Crack! Crack!]
The coffins were slowly opened.
Two figures emerged from them.
The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama!
The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama!
This time, the reincarnation seemed different from before. Both of them had regained not only their strength, but also their consciousness.
"Impure World Reincarnation?" Tobirama was the first to speak, his tone icy. "This is my ninjutsu! How dare you use it on me?"
His eyes locked coldly on Orochimaru. Noticing the presence of the Raikage and the others, he frowned. "Is that you, Onoki? What's going on here?"
Hashirama also looked around curiously. "Are we in… Konoha?"
"Yes, this is Konoha." Funan stared at Hashirama with deep affection. "Hashirama, this is our Konoha."
"Ours?" Hashirama looked at him in surprise. "You're from the Uchiha clan, right? We've met?"
"Hashirama, it's me!" Funan said with tears in his eyes. "I am your Madara!"
Everyone: "..."
"Are you Madara?" Hashirama touched his chin suspiciously, leaned forward, stared at Funan, and murmured: "Why do I feel something is wrong..."
"Nonsense!" Tobirama shouted angrily, the veins on his forehead throbbing. "How can this child be Uchiha Madara, brother, you..."
"Tobirama, don't get involved in the affairs between me and your brother," Funan sighed. "I know you always opposed our relationship. But, even after death, you still can't get over it?"
Tobirama: "..."
"Hashirama..."
"You don't need to say anything else," Hashirama interrupted, looking at Funan seriously. "You are definitely not Madara."
"Why?"
"Because I would never mistake Madara," Hashirama stated confidently.
Funan: "..."
Orochimaru coughed to interrupt. "Funan-kun, First and Second Hokage, may we continue?"
Tobirama frowned. "What's going on here? We're in Konoha? And they're fighting?"
Funan tilted his head and said with interest, "Tobirama, are you excited? Senju and Uchiha are going to fight again? The battle between the old enemies has started again."
"Uchiha vs. Senju?" Tobirama looked at Funan and then at Orochimaru. "Who are you? And how is it possible that an Uchiha became Hokage?"
Hashirama laughed loudly. "An Uchiha Hokage! I always said that the Uchiha were worthy of being Hokage." He turned to Tobirama. "Look, bro, I was right! You always had prejudices against them…"
"Shut up!" Tobirama cut him off, giving him an icy look.
"But, Tobirama…"
"Shut up, bro!" Tobirama repeated firmly.
Hashirama complied and fell silent, his posture slumped as if he were a scolded child.
Even Orochimaru couldn't help but have the corners of his lips twitch at the scene.
On the other hand, Onoki was not surprised. This scene was also seen in the past.
"Zehahaha, Tobirama, you are still the same." Funan laughed loudly.
"Shut up, brat!" Tobirama growled, glaring at Funan in annoyance. Although he was surprised that an Uchiha had become Hokage, he couldn't accept the behavior of this evil Uchiha brat.
"I'll make it short!" Funan said with a smile. "I am Uchiha Funan, the greatest Hokage in the history of Konoha. The person controlling you is a traitor to Konoha who has allied himself with the Kage of other villages to destroy Konoha."
"The greatest Hokage in history?" Tobirama sneered.
With his older brother around, who deserves the word of the greatest Hokage in history?
Furthermore, Tobirama is very confident in himself, he had brought great changes to the shinobi world!
But what surprised him was the expressions on everyone else's faces. Even Orochimaru and the other Kage seemed to agree.
This time, Tobirama was really interested.
This Uchiha Hokage seemed to have something.
