Chapter 90.2 : Poor Hiruzen 2!

[Uchiha Ran: If there wasn't a Gold List, he would've taken the Second Hokage and Orochimaru to prove his greatness. But with the Gold List, everyone's consciousness can remain awake, no matter where they are. Just imagine Orochimaru, First Hokage, Second Hokage, and, in the end, add a Fourth Hokage and himself, all stuck in Shinigami's belly. What would that lead to?]

After Uchiha Ran's statement, everyone started to imagine the scenario.

In a small space, Sarutobi Hiruzen was surrounded by Hashirama, Tobirama, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato.

Hashirama and Tobirama were teachers to Sarutobi Hiruzen, but they had been treated poorly by him. The Senju clan had been destroyed, and there was still resentment, especially from Tsunade. 

Orochimaru was a political victim, kicked out of Konoha by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Namikaze Minato had sacrificed for Konoha, but his son had been treated like a tool by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

How would Sarutobi Hiruzen handle these four individuals? Perhaps he would be on the receiving end of a daily beating.

Shinigami's space had turned into a gathering of Hokage from different Generation. First, Second, and Fourth Hokages joined forces against the Third Hokage. Eventually, he would suffer worst punishment there than in hell.

"Hi~"

Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered that day, and his soul shuddered. He no longer wanted to think about why the Dead Demon Consuming Seal had ultimately failed.

And it seemed everyone else believed the same.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the mastermind.

"Damn!"

Rasa, Koharu, and Mitokado Homura saw Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression and decided not to press further.

"Hey, let it go!"

"You're quite skilled!"

At the top of a mountain, Uchiha Madara said to Uchiha Ran. Though there was no concrete evidence or clues, he was convinced that Sarutobi Hiruzen had something to do with Uchiha Ran.

Uchiha Ran smiled without denying it, "Not bad."

Upon a mountaintop, Uchiha Madara addressed Uchiha Ran.

Although there were no concrete evidence or clues, Madara had concluded that Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions had some connection with Uchiha Ran.

"So, so," Uchiha Ran responded with a smile, not denying it.

Their battle came to a swift end when Sarutobi was defeated.

The livestream had also been terminated at that moment, ensuring the privacy of their conversation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's final confrontation was entirely dominated by his heightened senses.

The moment he reopened his eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen found himself captured by Uchiha Ran.

Unless one day his spiritual power surpassed its current limits, there was no escaping this captivity.

But could the old monkey manage it?

In this era of prosperity, instead of letting the Second Hokage and Orochimaru be absorbed by the Shinigami, it was preferable for them to remain in this world, shining on for Uchiha Ran.

"I shall take my leave now; Hashirama is approaching," Madara remarked.

"I'd rather not confront him just yet."

Uchiha Madara glanced in the direction of Konoha and prepared to depart.

In accordance with his agreement with Uchiha Ran, he would assist him in his resurrection when he found a suitable Kage-level powerhouse.

"No problem. If you need anything, you can contact through Golden List, and for private matters, inject your message into the kunai I provided," Uchiha Ran affirmed.

"You handle the role of Flash far better than the Fourth Hokage and Tobirama."

Madara praised and took his leave.

After his departure, Uchiha Ran utilized the Flying Thunder God technique to return to the Land of Rain.

"Now, here's what you all need to do..." Uchiha Ran proceeded to assign the tasks that had been planned for some time.

The members of Akatsuki had no objections.

Uzumaki Nagato was immersed in reading historical records, showing no dissent.

Once the Akatsuki organization's affairs were settled, Uchiha Ran returned to Konoha to address the situation.

Thanks to their preparations, there were no casualties on Konoha's side, although some were injured.

This earned his Fifth Hokage title a boost in reputation.

On the Sand Shinobi's side, most of their ninja were captured, even Gaara couldn't evade capture. He crossed paths with Tsunade on his way, was overpowered by Wood Style, and brought back to Konoha.

Reconstruction efforts were minimal.

Orochimaru's assault on Konoha had appeared intense, but Konoha only lost an aged Third Hokage, and the return of the First and Second Hokage meant that either one of them was superior to the Third Hokage.

Currently, Konoha retained its status as the most powerful ninja village, and no other village dared to object.

The Sand Shinobi held an emergency negotiation and prepared to pay a hefty price to redeem their captured comrades in Konoha.

In this battle, Konoha had secured a significant victory, and Uchiha Ran, had a victory that few knew about.

However, in the shadows, the undercurrents continued to surge.

Everyone diligently pursued the Summoning Beast list for the following seven days.

Times had changed.

In the world of the gold list, the one at the top rank reigned supreme!

Time slipped away rapidly in such circumstances, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

"Boom!"

The golden bell rang on time.

[Ninja World Gold List Announcement: The gold list now contains the souls of all the Ninja World and those of the Pure Land.]

[Ninja World Gold List Announcement: Speech restrictions remain in effect... (rules remain unchanged)]

[Gold List Announcement: Note that anyone added to the list in the future may speak freely without restriction.]

"Boom!"

A three-dimensional image materialized.

It was Kakashi Hatake of Konoha Village.

However, this time, it wasn't a static image; it was a moving one.

"The Art of Summoning!" Image Kakashi performed a Summoning jutsu.

Eight ninja dogs emerged.

30th place: Eight Ninja Dogs (comprising Pakkun, Bull, Urushi, Shiba, Bisuke, Akino, Ūhei, and Guruko - a renowned pack of dogs)

Blood Pact: Hatake Kakashi.
