Chapter 95: Chapter 095: The Terrified Hokages!
Even the widely experienced Orochimaru, known as the "Jackal of the Shinobi World," and the "God of Shinobi," Hashirama Senju, had never heard of a technique where one could understand everything just by touching someone's forehead!
At this moment, they couldn't help but suspect that Hashirama was trying to deceive Sasuke.
Even Suigetsu Hōzuki couldn't resist warning Sasuke, saying, "Sasuke, don't trust him! He's the God of Shinobi! What if he's trying to ambush you? You'd be done for!"
As soon as these words were spoken, before Sasuke could even react, Orochimaru shook his head and said, "No need to worry. Precisely because he is the God of Shinobi, he has no need for underhanded tactics like ambushes."
In Orochimaru's view, while Sasuke's strength had grown significantly, he was still far from matching Hashirama's level. There was no reason for Hashirama to resort to deceit.
"Enough nonsense!"
Hashirama stared at Sasuke and snorted, "Uchiha clan, huh? Hmph, my brother would never use any sneaky tricks. If he wanted to deal with you, he'd do it openly."
It was clear that he still held no goodwill toward the Uchiha clan.
At that moment, however, Sasuke suddenly stepped forward and coldly said to Hashirama, "Do it."
Hashirama's finger touched Sasuke's forehead, and immediately, his cold expression twisted into one of utter shock.
Suigetsu, witnessing this, was so startled that he began shouting, "I told you! The God of Shinobi must have tricked Sasuke! Otherwise, someone as cold as him would never make such an expression!"
Everyone: "..."
They chose to ignore such a childish deduction.
Hashirama, seeing Sasuke immersed in the memories he had transmitted, didn't have time to wait for him to finish—the situation was too urgent!
So, he immediately turned to Orochimaru and the others and said, "The situation is critical. We must head to the battlefield immediately. Once he finishes seeing what I showed him, he'll join you there."
Orochimaru was shocked and asked, "Lord First Hokage, are you so certain that Sasuke will really go to the battlefield after seeing what you showed him?"
Hashirama smiled faintly. "Of course. He's an Uchiha."
However, he didn't explain why. After speaking, he simply gestured to Tobirama, Minato, and Hiruzen. "Let's go."
Just as they were about to leave, Orochimaru suddenly asked again, "Lord First Hokage, why do I feel like you already have a deep understanding of the current situation?"
Hashirama glanced at him and replied, "I do know more than you might expect, but the explanation is complicated. We'll talk about it another time."
With that, he signaled to Tobirama and Minato. In an instant, he and Hiruzen were whisked away by the Flying Thunder God Technique!
Watching them leave, Suigetsu asked in confusion, "Lord Orochimaru, should we stop them?"
"Stop them? How?" Orochimaru countered. "Can you defeat them?"
Suigetsu was speechless for a moment before muttering, "How could I possibly beat them? One's the God of Shinobi, another's the inventor of countless jutsu, and the other two are top-tier Konoha shinobi!"
"Exactly."
Orochimaru's gaze turned toward the battlefield, as if trying to see the situation from afar. A strong sense of curiosity rose within him.
"Originally, I had no interest in this war. But now… things seem to have taken a far more intriguing turn. Just what is the truth? What is the purpose of all this?"
Hearing his muttering, Suigetsu and Karin exchanged glances, both utterly lost.
Seeing their confusion, Orochimaru could only sigh and shift his attention back to Sasuke.
For now, he could only wait for Sasuke to provide some answers—like what exactly Hashirama had transmitted to him.
Meanwhile, Hashirama, carrying Tobirama on his back, swiftly traversed the battlefield using the Flying Thunder God Technique. Thanks to the technique's speed, they covered great distances quickly, but because the battlefield was so vast, they had to teleport multiple times.
When they finally arrived near the battlefield, they were met with a scene of black flames roaring and dark clouds swirling—a sight so terrifying that even Hashirama's expression turned grave.
Seeing his reaction, Tobirama couldn't help but ask, "Brother, shouldn't you explain what's going on now?"
Minato and Hiruzen also looked at Hashirama with curiosity.
Hashirama took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Explaining it would be complicated. But in short, the enemy we're about to face is incredibly powerful. You must be fully prepared."
"What enemy could possibly make even the First Hokage so serious?" Hiruzen asked in shock.
He knew Hashirama's strength better than anyone. He couldn't even imagine what kind of foe would make the God of Shinobi speak with such gravity.
Hashirama's voice was low and heavy.
"The Creator God of the Shinobi World—Kaguya Ōtsutsuki."
"WHAT?!"
Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Minato were completely stunned. For a moment, they wondered if they were dreaming—or if Hashirama was joking.
After all, the Sage of Six Paths was already a figure of legend to them, let alone his mother!
But from Hashirama's expression, they could tell—this was deadly serious.
In other words, they were about to face a battle unlike any they had ever experienced before!
