Chapter 348

On the screen were the figures of Senju Hashirama and the others within Seireitei.

Kyoraku Shunsui stepped forward, scratching the back of his head, and said lazily, "People from Konoha? We here in the Land of Whirlpools do not welcome people from Konoha..."

As the words fell, the Zanpakuto at the waists of the other captains all gave a 'clang' and slightly unsheathed, revealing blades that glinted with a cold light.

Their eyes were filled with coldness, giving the strong impression that they were about to cross swords with them.

This

This isn't right, is it?

Senju Hashirama was somewhat dumbfounded.

This...

It's not the result he imagined?

Aren't their Konoha and the Land of Whirlpools allies?

Why is it that as soon as Konoha is mentioned, it's as if they've seen an enemy?

Senju Hashirama pointed at himself, looking bewildered, and said, "I am from Konoha; Konoha and the Land of Whirlpools are allies!"

This sentence directly silenced the several captains of the Land of Whirlpools.

The looks they cast toward Senju Hashirama were filled with strangeness.

Is this guy truly stupid, or is he just pretending?

You claim to be from Konoha, yet you don't know about the matters between the Land of Whirlpools and Konoha?

Have you forgotten the last time the Land of Whirlpools invaded Konoha?

Have you forgotten that the Land of Whirlpools and Konoha dissolved their alliance?

And you still have the nerve to come to the Land of Whirlpools?

Even seeking help?

Who gave you such thick skin?

Senju Tobirama covered his face, pulled on Senju Hashirama, and then whispered about what had happened between Konoha and the Land of Whirlpools.

Senju Hashirama's expression turned gloomy and uncertain.

He truly had not expected that after he and Tobirama died, Konoha would actually commit such treacherous acts.

The Uzumaki Clan was a brother clan that had unconditionally supported the Senju Clan since the Warring States period!

They truly gave resources when asked for resources, and people when asked for people.

No matter where the Senju Clan was at war, the Uzumaki Clan was never absent.

Even after he founded Konoha, they chose to ally with Konoha without hesitation.

And yet...

Konoha was actually capable of doing something so foolish!

How will this make the Ninja World view Konoha?

Who will dare to become allies with Konoha in the future?

Furthermore, his wife Mito is still alive.

With such a thing happening, what would Mito think?

Wouldn't that break Mito's heart?

Senju Hashirama glanced at Senju Tobirama and said in a low voice, "Look at the fine disciple you chose."

Although he did not know what happened after his death.

He did know that Sarutobi Hiruzen was Senju Tobirama's disciple.

Sarutobi Hiruzen being able to become the Third Hokage certainly could not have happened without Tobirama's support.

Senju Tobirama remained silent.

This was indeed his dereliction of duty.

Although he was a rare genius in developing ninjutsu and politics.

He was indeed not very good at judging people.

None of his disciples were capable of taking on great responsibilities.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were mediocre in both ability and strength.

Akimichi Torifu had a soft nature.

Shimura Danzo had too much ambition.

The only one with strong ability and sufficient strength was Uchiha Kagami.

But...

His status as a member of the Uchiha Clan would never be recognized by him, Senju Tobirama!

Thus, Sarutobi Hiruzen became the final winner.

Of course, it was also because Sarutobi Hiruzen had performed well previously.

When ambushed by the Land of Lightning, Sarutobi Hiruzen's choices also allowed him to see Sarutobi Hiruzen's courage.

Plus, he was also Tsunade's teacher, so it was appropriate.

It's just that he didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to manage Konoha into its current state.

It is already too late to say these things now.

Since it has already happened, it is better to think about how to remedy it.

Aizen Sosuke's previous identity as a captain of the Land of Whirlpools made them believe that the Land of Whirlpools must have sufficient understanding of Aizen Sosuke.

Perhaps they could resolve this powerful enemy, Aizen Sosuke!

Moreover, hearing Orochimaru say that the Land of Whirlpools was an expert in dealing with Hollows, the Land of Whirlpools appeared even more important in this Third Great Ninja War.

Senju Hashirama clearly understood this logic as well.

He did not hesitate in the slightest, directly bowing his head and saying, "I am sorry, Konoha has indeed done many things that have wronged the Land of Whirlpools."

Regarding Konoha's mistakes, Senju Hashirama did not evade them.

He had always been such a person.

Senju Hashirama's sincerity actually surprised Kyoraku Shunsui and the others.

It seems this guy truly doesn't know what happened between Konoha and the Land of Whirlpools?

Only then did they carefully observe these two strangers who had suddenly been transported to the Land of Whirlpools.

The abnormalities in their bodies instantly caught their attention.

"This tattered body..."

Kyoraku Shunsui muttered.

In his eyes, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama's bodies were like a vat leaking water everywhere.

The souls inside were clearly visible.

If they wanted to, they could easily use their Zanpakuto to attack their souls directly.

And within their souls, there was clearly a very dense aura of death.

"So that's how it is; they are wandering souls forcibly dragged back to the current world from hell."

Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama felt a sudden shock in their hearts and stared deeply at Kyoraku Shunsui.

He had actually seen through their Impure World Reincarnation state at a glance.

The Land of Whirlpools is indeed not simple!

Senju Tobirama recalled the term Orochimaru used for these people from the Land of Whirlpools.

Soul Reapers...

Could it be that this group of people truly deals with death often?

Otherwise, why would they be so sensitive to souls?

And Aizen Sosuke was even able to directly harm their souls.

These Soul Reapers of the Land of Whirlpools might also be able to do it!

Kyoraku Shunsui looked lazily at the wounds on Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama's souls.

He said, "Your souls have actually suffered such serious injuries; it seems your affairs must be related to Hollows."

"And..."

Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes became serious as he stared at Senju Hashirama and said, "Your soul is very powerful; you should be one of the strongest in the current world, right?"

"To be able to injure you, your enemy must not be weak either; the Espada?"

Although Kyoraku Shunsui knew that the Third Great Ninja War was in full swing, his personality meant he had not paid much attention to it.
