Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Kakashi had some guesses about the three human cocoons, but he couldn't be sure, so he asked, "Lord Jiraiya, what are they...?"

Jiraiya didn't hold back, stating directly, "These three are all A-rank or higher rogue ninjas who have committed numerous evil deeds; they are the vessels I have chosen."

With that, Jiraiya dragged the three human cocoons into the Impure World Reincarnation formation and placed a medium on them. Then he said to Kakashi, "Come on, use Impure World Reincarnation to bring them back to the human world!"

Seeing this, Kakashi understood what was happening. Without saying anything more, he formed hand seals and began to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The next moment, Kakashi slammed his hands into the ground and shouted, "Impure World Reincarnation!"

Just as Kakashi finished speaking, an unknown and invisible portal appeared above the Impure World Reincarnation formation, connecting to the legendary Pure Land.

Within the Pure Land, two slumbering souls, as if drawn and summoned, gradually flew towards the portal.

During this process, foul soil surged wildly from the two cocoons that served as containers, enveloping them.

As for the last remaining human pupa, it remained completely still.

Seeing this, Jiraiya frowned slightly, thinking to himself, 'That's the Third Hokage's vessel, why isn't it moving? Did something go wrong?'

Just as Jiraiya was puzzled, two familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figures appeared before him.

Kakashi stared at the two figures before him. Although he had suspected something was amiss, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart, muttering, "The First Hokage, the Second Hokage..."

That's right, the two people resurrected by Jiraiya using the Impure World Reincarnation technique were the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who was hailed as the God of Shinobi, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who was hailed as the Grandmaster of the Shinobi World.

Amidst Kakashi's tremor, Hashirama Senju, somewhat dazed and confused, asked, "This is the human world... why have I returned here?"

Beside him, Tobirama Senju, sensing his own existence, coldly uttered, "Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu..."

As he spoke, Tobirama Senju turned his gaze to Jiraiya and Kakashi, frowning as he asked, "Didn't I already list this technique as a forbidden technique? How were you able to use it? And why did you resurrect us in the human world using the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

Upon seeing this, Jiraiya said directly, "Second Hokage, I am Jiraiya, one of the disciples of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. It was my idea to resurrect you all in the human world this time."

"Because I want you to see for yourselves what Konoha Village is like under the current leadership of the Konoha high command, and I also want to use your strength to fight against the darkness that will soon engulf the entire world."

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju exchanged a glance, then turned their gaze to Jiraiya, signaling him to continue.

Jiraiya did not hesitate to tell Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju everything he knew.

In Jiraiya's narration, the decline of the Senju clan, the destruction of the Uchiha clan, and the fate of the hero's son... all reached the ears of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

......

Chapter 604 Orochimaru's Name, Tsunade's Bond!

As they listened to Jiraiya's account, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were already building up their anger.

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, his anger was already uncontrollable and erupted.

With their rage erupting, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju's terrifying chakra also burst forth, instantly crushing the surrounding ground and whipping up a whirlwind that swept towards Jiraiya and Kakashi.

Even Jiraiya felt an extremely terrifying sense of oppression after sensing the chakra bursts of Hashirama and Tobirama, which made his mind feel suppressed.

As for Kakashi, there's even less to say.

In this situation, Tobirama Senju angrily shouted, "Where is Hiruzen? Tell him to come see me! I want to see what kind of explanation he can give me!"

Hashirama Senju, standing to the side, also looked extremely grim.

Putting everything else aside, just consider the Senju clan within Konoha Village. The fact that they've fallen so low that they can only field Tsunade alone is simply unbelievable without some hidden force pulling the strings behind the scenes.

As the Hokage of Konoha, even if the Third Hokage wasn't the mastermind, he must have known about it and tacitly approved of it.

Otherwise, the Senju clan would not have fallen into such decline.

Hashirama Senju never imagined that Konoha, founded by the Senju and Uchiha clans, would end up with one clan declining and the other being wiped out.

Faced with this outcome, even the good-tempered Hashirama Senju couldn't suppress his anger.

Not to mention other outrageous things.

Hashirama Senju also wanted to see what kind of explanation Hiruzen Sarutobi would give him. If the explanation was not satisfactory, then his time as Hokage would be over.

Faced with the rage of the First and Second Hokage, Jiraiya suppressed his emotions and said, "The Third Hokage was killed by a rogue ninja from Konoha not long ago."

As he spoke, Jiraiya pointed to the unchanging human cocoon beside him and continued, "I originally wanted to resurrect him with the Impure World Reincarnation, but I don't know why I failed."

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju could only suppress his anger and looked at the man beside him, frowning as he said, "There's nothing wrong with this Impure World Reincarnation formation, otherwise it wouldn't be able to resurrect us."

"The medium should also be fine, so there's only one possibility: Hiruzen's soul is sealed, which is why the Impure World Reincarnation couldn't summon him back to the human world."

Jiraiya was taken aback upon hearing this, not having considered this possibility. He asked in confusion, "Sealed? How could the Third Hokage's soul be sealed? And who has the ability to seal the Third Hokage's soul?"

As he spoke, Jiraiya frowned and continued, "Could it be Danzo? But regardless of Danzo's abilities, why would he do such a thing?"

Just then, Kakashi, as if he had thought of something, couldn't help but say, "Could it be Chen Anxia who did it?"

"Because after he killed the Third Generation, he took the Third Generation's heart."

Kakashi's words startled Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Jiraiya.

Among them, Tobirama Senju and Jiraiya were both trying to search their memories, hoping to find ninjutsu related to the heart and soul.

But no matter how they searched, they couldn't find even the slightest bit of relevant information.

Faced with this, they could only suppress their doubts and stop wasting time.

Hashirama Senju then said, "Let's put the matter of the Third Hokage aside for now. We will personally verify whether what you said is true or false."

"Now, let's talk about the darkness."

"What kind of darkness is it that requires the power of the dead to fight against?"

Clearly, Tobirama Senju and Kakashi were also curious about this, and couldn't help but look at Jiraiya.

Upon seeing this, Jiraiya did not hesitate and directly recounted the Great Toad Sage's prophecy and the matters he had been instructed to do.

As Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Kakashi listened to Jiraiya's account, their hearts were filled with a storm of emotions.

They never imagined that in the future, darkness would descend upon the world, a darkness that would threaten its very survival. Even the Great Toad Sage admitted that they would have to rely on the power of Kaguya Otsutsuki to have any chance of fighting it.

Note that it is possible.

This gives you an idea of ​​how terrifying the darkness must have been.

After Jiraiya finished speaking, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Kakashi were deeply moved and their emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Tobirama Senju took a deep breath and tried to compose himself, saying, "Now I understand why you thought of using the power of the dead."

As he spoke, Tobirama Senju clenched his fist and continued, "If the darkness of the future is truly as terrible as the Great Toad Sage predicted, then I hope you can find me a new vessel."

"This container can only unleash a little over half of my power, and it's far from being able to unleash my full potential. To fight against the darkness, I need to have even greater power."

“Not only me, but also my older brother, and the future vessels of the League of the Dead, must be the best.”

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya frowned slightly and asked, "I only have a superficial understanding of the Impure World Reincarnation. I only know that the quality of the vessel is related to its strength, but I don't know what kind of vessel is the best?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju immediately replied, "The best vessel is naturally my elder brother's Sage Body, but only my elder brother possesses such a physique, and we cannot force it."

"So we had no choice but to settle for second best, which was a container containing my elder brother's immortal cells."

Before Jiraiya could react, Tobirama Senju continued, "If Konoha is really as you say, I believe those ambitious people will not let my brother's cells go."

“They must have my older brother’s cells in their hands, and they may even have already cultivated experimental subjects.”

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya frowned as if deep in thought, and then said, "I don't know if they have it, but I know that one person definitely has it, and his research on experimental subjects using the first generation of cells began a long time ago."

"Who is it?" Tobirama Senju couldn't help but ask.

Jiraiya didn't hesitate and solemnly announced, "Orochimaru, the S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha!"

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were clearly unfamiliar with the name Orochimaru and didn't react much, but they were somewhat sensitive to the word "traitorous ninja".

As for Kakashi, there was no doubt that he was jolted when he heard the name 'Orochimaru'.

Just then, Hashirama Senju spoke up, "Let's put aside the matter of the container for now."

As he spoke, Hashirama Senju looked at Jiraiya with a complicated expression and said, "Jiraiya, could you bring Tsunade to see me? I want to know how she's been all these years..."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's expression suddenly became very strange.

If Jiraiya's prediction is correct, then Tsunade should be...

......

Chapter 605 Danzo's Death Shakes the Shinobi World!

Another three days passed.

Over these three days, the undercurrents within Konoha grew increasingly turbulent.

root.

Danzo Shimura felt his unease growing stronger.

Ever since Yakushi Kabuto and the others returned, Shimura Danzo has been restless.

Although Shimura Danzo sent Root members to investigate Jiraiya and his group after that.

Strangely, the Root members couldn't find any trace of Jiraiya and his group, as if they had completely disappeared from Konoha.

Judging from Jiraiya's words at the time, they certainly wouldn't leave Konoha so easily.

It is highly likely that they are secretly carrying out some kind of operation against us.

However, Danzo Shimura probably never imagined that Jiraiya and the others would actually want his life.

That night, Shimura Danzo, who hadn't rested yet, seemed to sense something. His brows furrowed slightly, and then, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but say, "What? Are the legendary Sannin such cowardly and secretive people?"

The moment Shimura Danzo finished speaking, Jiraiya's figure appeared.

Just when Shimura Danzo thought his provocation had worked, he witnessed something unbelievable. His expression turned to shock as he looked at the two figures who had appeared with Jiraiya, and he stammered, "First Hokage... Second Hokage... How could this be!?"

As he spoke, Danzo Shimura noticed the strange behavior of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, and frowned, saying, "Impure World Reincarnation, Jiraiya! How dare you disturb the slumber of our ancestors and violate the forbidden technique—Impure World Reincarnation! This is utterly rebellious!"

"Just wait, I will expose your crimes to the public and strip you of your title as one of the Three Legendary Sannin!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya remained unmoved, simply looking at Shimura Danzo and saying, "You no longer have a chance."

As he spoke, Jiraiya continued, despite Shimura Danzo's puzzled expression, "Minato is right. Konoha is now rotten and needs to be cleansed with blood."

"I used to be too indecisive and overthink things, but now I know that some things can't be decided indecisive. Bad apples like you need to be eliminated as soon as possible..."

Seeing that Jiraiya was still planning to continue, Tobirama Senju frowned and said with displeasure, "Are all ninjas of this era so talkative?"
