Naruto Time Control

"Well, it's a long story."

Tsunade shook her head and involuntarily sighed in relief.

Sakumo's words brought back memories of the past few years.

Even now, she felt some shock as she remembered what had happened over the years.

The story of Yeruashi's rise was like a myth. From becoming Orochimaru's disciple to appearing for the first time on the battlefield, from becoming his disciple to study medical ninjutsu, to killing the Third Raikage and then Hanzo of the Salamander, Yeruashi rose step by step to the top of the ninja world.

Whoosh!

At that moment, another figure appeared.

This was a short man with wrinkles on his face, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, by this time he had become accustomed to leaving the position of Hokage.

When Yeruashi became the Fifth Hokage, Hiruzen disappeared completely from Konoha's political arena.

After several months of silence, he put everything aside and began teaching at the Ninja Academy.

Now Hiruzen has focused all his efforts on educating Konoha's younger generation.

As he watched the people around him continue to move forward and realized his past mistakes, Hiruzen could not continue to sit still and also began to do his part.

After all, he is the Third Hokage of Konoha.

"Sakumo..."

While looking at Sakumo, a hint of guilt shone in Hiruzen's eyes and he said, "Back then, I saw what was happening to you from the side and not interfering, it's my fault, I've regretted it all these years..."

"Hokage-sama..."

Complex emotions flashed through Sakumo's eyes and he said, "No, it's all my fault. I'm too weak and I'm not qualified to be a ninja, since what happened could make me give up my life."

"..."

Hiruzen sighed, feeling strong emotions, he turned his head to look at Hashirama and Kurama fighting in the distance, with a fixed gaze, he said, "This chakra and Mokuton.... Is Hashirama-sama."

For the moment.

Kurama was already pinned to the ground by the wooden dragons and being hit by the huge golem. Although Yeruashi gave Kurama some of his senjutsu chakra, which allowed him to break the first wooden dragon, Hashirama immediately created three more.

Looking at this scene, Sakumo's expression darkened greatly and said, "Even the Kyubi was suppressed, the First Hokage is too strong, Sandaime-sama, the situation is becoming extremely dangerous."

Hearing Sakumo's words, urging him to immediately start commanding the ninjas of Konoha, Hiruzen shook his head and looked at Yeruashi with a complicated look, and said, "I am already a simple pensioner, this should be done by the Fifth Hokage, now all over the world he is called the 'Ninja God' as well as the First Hokage"

Hiruzen's words made Sakumo lose touch with reality.

He looked at Yeruashi in shock and disbelief.

God... Ninja?

If this sentence had not been uttered by Hiruzen, Sakumo would have even thought that the Konoha ninja were simply overreacting. He was already very surprised that Yeruashi could become Hokage at the age of nineteen, how could he even obtain the title held by the legendary Senju Hashirama of the past?

Tsunade noticed Sakumo's incredulous look and nodded affirmatively, saying, "That's really true. Times have changed a lot, Sakumo-senpai."

Shikaku's voice came from the side, he looked at the battle in the distance and said, "This is not a battle we can participate in, we can only watch your performance."

The battle between Hashirama and Kurama was extremely loud and large scale.

Most of the ninja felt a strong suffocation simply by feeling the chakra fluctuations. They knew that they would not be able to withstand even the aftermath of such a battle.

But.

Compared to the fear of this battle, the Konoha ninja's faith in the Fifth Hokage was stronger!

The end of the Third Ninja World War and the beginning of the unification of the ninja world were extremely grandiose events, which allowed the Fifth Hokage to even surpass the legendary First Hokage, in the eyes of the ninja of Konoha!

The strongest Hokage in history, standing at the top of the ninja world!

Looking at the Fifth Hokage's back and his cloak billowing gently in the wind, all the ninja around him felt an inexplicable calm.

Even if the gates of hell were to open and heaven were to collapse, they would be forced to retreat in front of this figure!

After hearing Shikaku's words and seeing the eyes of the Konoha ninja filled with respect and reverence, Sakumo was at a loss for a while.

He could feel the unwavering faith of the Konoha ninja in their Hokage, which was nothing like what a young and inexperienced Hokage could deserve.

It seemed... there was much, much more to him that he didn't know.

As Sakumo stared at Yeruashi's back in disbelief, the latter said to Kurama in his mind, "Have you gotten it off your chest yet?"

"Almost..."

Kurama's breathless voice echoed in his head, "Okay, I'll leave the rest to you!"

Yeruashi couldn't help but roll his eyes at Kurama's words.

What do you mean 'I'll leave the rest to you', you obviously just got your ass kicked, you damn fox!

Kurama couldn't match anything against Hashirama even with a part of his chakra senjutsu....

But that's not too surprising.

This fox now plays games and watches TV shows all day long.

He's already a completely useless fox....

Damn it...

He didn't become a fat fox just because he's made entirely of chakra!

Obviously, it's impossible to expect someone like him to defeat Hashirama.

"Right."

"We're changing."

Yeruashi took a step forward, flexing his neck.

Whoosh!

After a few steps, his figure became a blur, arriving at the battlefield in the blink of an eye, and he leaped over Kurama's head.

Whoosh!

Kurama turned into chakra, and immediately left the battle and quickly merged with Yeruashi's body.

The giant fox that had been fighting Hashirama disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Instead, in the air directly in front of Hashirama, Yeruashi's figure floated gently, wrapped in a blanket of golden light.

"The Jinchuriki of the Kyubi?"

Hashirama was surprised to see the Kyuubi's chakra flowing into Yeruashi's body.

Yeruashi smiled at Hashirama and said politely, "The Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Hatake Yeruashi, pleased to meet the First Hokage-sama."

"The Fifth? In Konoha, the Five Hokages have already been replaced!"

Hashirama looked at Yeruashi excitedly, but the next moment, his expression abruptly changed.

The First Hokage's body moved on its own, controlling the huge wooden golem.

Two huge wooden hands shot out toward Yeruashi from different directions, as if to swat a mosquito.

Hashirama, unable to control the golem's movements, exclaimed worriedly, "Watch out!"

Boom!!!!

The wooden golem's palms closed with a terrifying noise and a shockwave swept out, visible to the naked eye, but Yeruashi was no longer there.

His figure appeared about ten meters above the closed palms and grasped the empty air with his hand.

Nine truth-seeking balls appeared in the air.

They quickly gathered in his palm and turned into a golden sword.

Yeruashi clenched the golden sword in his palm, looked at Hashirama in front of him and said, "Hokage-sama."

"I am attacking."
