"Ah-leh?"

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he returned to the silly look Tsunade was familiar with.

This appearance, on the contrary, made Tsunade breathe a sigh of relief; this is really her silly younger brother!

Nawaki Senju scratched his head; why does it feel like someone has been calling his name recently?

He looked at the woman who called his name; obviously, he didn't know this woman.

Nawaki Senju muttered: "Really don't understand."

Even Rukia Kuchiki paid a little attention to Tsunade.

This woman, knows Nawaki before death?

Tsunade's voice, on the contrary, disguisedly relieved Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At least now no one is paying attention to him anymore.

"Is it really Nawaki Senju?"

Some ninjas who had seen the heir of the Senju family opened their mouths slightly, looking in disbelief.

Others also looked over, their eyes a bit dazed.

"How is that possible!"

"Isn't Nawaki Senju already?"

Speaking of this, their voices gradually became smaller, for fear of being heard by Tsunade and getting a punch from her.

Even Shimura Danzo, who was secretly peeping at this battle, was shocked when he saw Nawaki Senju's face!

"Quick! Go to the laboratory to confirm if Nawaki Senju's heart is still there!"

Soon, Root members returned to report: "Lord Danzo, Nawaki Senju's heart has no abnormalities!"

Hearing this news, Shimura Danzo's eyes widened.

Could it be, he saw a ghost?

Thinking of this, Shimura Danzo suddenly felt guilty.

Damn, could it be that he came to claim his life?

Konoha East Street.

Whispering discussions rang out, couldn't help but make Hiruzen Sarutobi, Konohamaru Utatane, and Homura Mitokado look sideways.

When they saw that familiar face, their pupils trembled uncontrollably like an earthquake.

"Actually, it really is Nawaki Senju!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer maintain his hypocritical face and exclaimed.

That expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

Or maybe he really saw a ghost!

Nawaki Senju was clearly already dead!

And the autopsy was also conducted by Konoha. After confirming Nawaki Senju's body, Hiruzen Sarutobi personally canceled his ninja registration number.

But what's going on now?

Resurrection from the dead?

Or did Nawaki Senju not die at all?

Did Konoha's autopsy make a mistake?

But if Nawaki Senju didn't die, how could he be mixed up with the people of the Land of Whirlpools?

And it seems, as if he has already successfully infiltrated the Land of Whirlpools and become a Soul Reaper!

Even through the Land of Whirlpools' space-time ninjutsu, he came to Konoha, in the posture of an enemy?

What is this all about?

Tsunade being rebellious is one thing, how come Nawaki Senju is also rebellious?!

Don't forget!

This is the Konoha founded by your grandfather!

Hiruzen Sarutobi really wanted to say this loudly!

But after thinking carefully, he was really afraid that because of this reason, the Senju Clan would ask him to hand over the position of Hokage.

So he just let it go; after all, he had only sat firmly in this position for a few years and hadn't sat enough yet.

And, maybe Nawaki Senju infiltrating the Land of Whirlpools is also a good thing for Konoha?

Just as he said, Nawaki Senju is after all a person of Konoha, and Konoha is also the village founded by his grandfather.

This is his root!

No matter how you think about it, he couldn't possibly do anything unfavorable to Konoha, right?

And with Nawaki Senju as a pawn inserted by Konoha into the Land of Whirlpools, he could also reveal the intelligence of the Land of Whirlpools to Konoha at any time!

Hiruzen Sarutobi took it for granted that Nawaki Senju was a spy inserted by Konoha into the Land of Whirlpools.

Little did he know, this was just his wishful thinking.

Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled Orochimaru's intelligence earlier and looked carefully at the sword at Nawaki Senju's waist.

Is that the Asauchi received for free from the True Central Spirit Arts Academy?

Well done! Nawaki!

As long as you get all the no-seal ninjutsu and Zanpakuto forging technology of the Land of Whirlpools, it will be the time for Konoha to be glorious again!

But soon, a sentence from Nawaki Senju shattered his dream.

"You... who are you? How come you seem to know me?"

Nawaki Senju scratched his head, blinked, and looked strange.

As soon as this came out, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face stiffened, and his heart turned cold.

What's the situation?

Nawaki Senju actually doesn't know them?

Oh, he understood, this must be Nawaki's disguise!

Sigh, it's also their fault for being so careless and letting Nawaki be exposed.

With so many people in Konoha looking like they know him, this definitely can't be hidden from the Land of Whirlpools.

Since that's the case, then don't pretend anymore, hurry up and return to Konoha's embrace.

Otherwise, this hard-won Asauchi will be taken back by the Land of Whirlpools.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was anxious in his heart and said solemnly: "Alright Nawaki, Grandpa already knows your painstaking efforts. Since you have been exposed, hurry back!"

Others heard the Third Hokage's words and suddenly realized.

So that's how it is...

Nawaki Senju's death was actually to infiltrate the Land of Whirlpools!

Then didn't they expose Nawaki Senju's identity?

They are truly damned!

Even Konohamaru Utatane and Homura Mitokado looked sideways at Hiruzen Sarutobi, that look, as if saying: Didn't expect this, Hiruzen, you actually have such a move?

Even Tsunade was a bit hesitant.

Could it be that Nawaki was really faking his death?

But she also confirmed the autopsy, it was indeed Nawaki's body.

But the Nawaki in front of her really doesn't make sense.

Only Orochimaru had a strange look in his eyes.

His respected Teacher Hiruzen, I'm afraid he is really going to become a clown...

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked kind and beckoned to Nawaki Senju: "Quick! Come to Grandpa, you have made a huge contribution to Konoha, Grandpa will protect you!"

Rukia Kuchiki pursed her lips hard, only then ensuring she wouldn't suddenly laugh out loud.

Is this so-called Konoha Hokage a monkey invited from a circus?

Don't say, really don't say, it really looks like one.

Nawaki Senju was ashamed and angry, "Hey! What's wrong with you old monkey, who knows you!"

Old, old monkey?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face stiffened again.

At this time, Tsunade finally found something wrong and frowned: "Nawaki, do you really not remember me?"

Nawaki Senju said impatiently: "And who are you?"
