4. The Future Raikage Meets The Future Hokage

" A legend of a generation has finally fallen "

Danzo silently mourned for Tobirama.

If Hashirama is considered the cornerstone of Konoha then Tobirama is the one who perfected it, he is a true pillar. Konoha flourished under Tobirama's governance, he was the one who introduced ANBU, The ninja schools, and various other reforms.

He also dealt with the Uchiha clan perfectly and maintained stability for a long time.

Thus Tobirama's importance to Konoha was undeniable. So such a person deserves his full-blown respect.

After Danzo finished securing the tools used by the Gold and Silver brothers into the system space he returned to Tobirama's side.

*Whoosh Whoosh!! *

Just when Danzo was about to carry Tobirama on his back, dozens of figures appeared in front of him. From their outfits, they seemed to be Kumo shinobi.

After seeing them Danzo's eyes went cold and a terrifying killing intent burst from him. He held Tobirama's sword in front of him and from his stance, one could see that he was prepared to go on a massacre.

" Shinobi from Konoha please don't misunderstand us, we are the subordinates of Second Raikage " At this moment a tall muscular shinobi with bronze skin stepped out from among the group and said.

Danzo immediately understood who the other party was after seeing his face. It was the future Third Raikage !!.

According to the original plot, after being severely wounded by the enemy, Tobirama died after killing Ginkaku.

Then the Third Raikage taking advantage of the situation killed Ginkaku, and after that, he went and formally apologized to Konoha for what happened during the treaty.

" What? Does Kumo want to kill the rest of the Konoha stragglers"

Danzo's cold words did not annoy Ai, but instead, he stepped forward and gave a deep bow to Tobirama.

Seeing Ai step forward, Danzo immediately went on guard, the Thunder sword in his hand was crackling with lightning and his heavy aura pressed down on the Kumo shinobi making them feel a sense of oppression, they drew their weapons and surrounded Danzo.

" Your excellency, please don't misunderstand me, Kumo is in the wrong and I will personally come to Konoha to give a formal apology, And you all Get out of the way! "

Ai shouted the last part to his subordinates making them move out of the way.

" I hope you keep your word "

Danzo said coldly, and he left with Tobirama on his back quickly.

If the situation was optimal Danzo wanted to kill all of the Kumo shinobi here. After all, Ai is the future Third Raikage if you kill him right now a lot of problems can be avoided.

But Danzo decided to take Tobirama's body back as it was much more beneficial for him than assassinating Ai.

" Ai - sama is it wise for us to let him leave just like that, from his display of strength he seems to be the successor of Second Hokage" A Kumo shinobi looked towards Ai and said in a complicated tone. After all, Konoha and Kumo are at loggerheads with each other, and due to the Gold and Silver brothers killing Tobirama they will surely be mortal enemies in the future.

" What? You still think the relationship between us and Konoha is not rigid enough, if we dare to kill him and detain Tobirama's body then Konoha will be mortal enemies with us, the consequences have you thought it through" Ai's solemn voice reverberated among them.

And this caused the face of the Kumo shinobi who asked this question to become pale, he forgot that this time the treaty was proposed by Kumo to Konoha because Kumogakure couldn't afford to wage a war. Konoha's assault troops made them helpless and they were unable to resist if their attacks continued, a lot of Kumo shinobi will perish.

Even if they survive the onslaught of Konoha , Kirigakure, and Iwagakure who are eyeing them like wolves will Pounce on them in their moment of weakness. Once Konoha wages a full-scale war on them their fate is sealed.

" Recover the bodies of Kinkaku and Ginkaku and retrieve their equipment" After taking a deep breath Ai adjusted his emotions and ordered his subordinates.

" Ai-sama... their equipment is not here! "

After hearing his subordinates shout Ai had a bad feeling in his heart and rushed to check the bodies of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and to Ai's rage, the tools used by the brothers were missing. It could be seen that there were traces of the tools being used by them during battle. So if the tools were stolen it would only have been after the battle finished and all three parties present were dead, so the only other person present here, when they arrived, was the one who left with Tobirama's body. Thinking up to this Ai's face was green.

{ A.N : I think green here means he got bamboozled, I often see this in Chinese novels or translations, I think it goes something like, " He went green with regret ". yep that's it just putting it out there :) }

The tools of the sage of six paths are undoubtedly powerful weapons. If you let an Elite Jonin use it he will be able to battle against a Kage-level powerhouse without falling to a disadvantage, It is like having another Kage-level powerhouse in your village.

Thinking up about this Ai couldn't help but clench his fist with rage, but he knew it was futile because Konoha's reinforcements have already arrived and they won't be able to handle them with the men present here.

' I can only wait until further negotiations from Konoha to retrieve the tools '

Ai is well aware of the importance of these tools.

So no matter what, he will retrieve the tools from Danzo's hands! *
