Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 136 Noob Beats Expert

"Success!"

As the Grim Reaper's hand passed through his stomach and grabbed Hashirama Senju, the Third Hokage's face lit up with joy.

Next, all he needs to do is pull out and seal Hashirama Senju's soul, and then he can end the broadcast perfectly.

With a single, forceful movement, the Third Generation controlled the Grim Reaper's hand!

then……

"Huh?"

The third generation was stunned as he stared at the motionless palm.

Did he not pull it just now? Otherwise, why isn't his hand moving?

Move, move, move! Get moving!

The third generation, with a ferocious expression, began to exert force.

No matter how hard he tried, the hand that was gripping Hashirama Senju's soul felt like it was holding a boulder connected to a mountain.

The rocks are hard and have stood for thousands of years, so how could they be moved by mere humans?

Hashirama Senju's puzzled voice rang out: "Monkey, what are you doing?"

"Ah... First Lord!"

Like a kid caught red-handed stealing money from his own father, the third generation looked up, his face full of embarrassment. He felt like he had just become a monkey in a circus, or even a clown monkey who could find an ID card just by buying a deck of cards.

Because we've considered every possible scenario across three generations, but this is the only one we haven't taken into account.

Isn't the Reaper Death Seal supposed to be the Uzumaki clan's supreme sealing technique? Why didn't it even affect Hashirama Senju?

Seemingly having seen through the Third Hokage's secret, Hashirama Senju explained, "Monkey, you're using the Reaper Death Seal, aren't you? Mito told me about this technique."

"A technique that can directly seal a person's soul is indeed very powerful, but the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique is not omnipotent. Its essence in sealing a person's soul is the same as pulling a person's soul out through a tug-of-war between souls."

"Therefore, the soul power of both the caster and the recipient is crucial. If the caster is not strong enough, it may not be possible to seal the recipient."

"Otherwise, if the Reaper Death Seal were given to any ordinary Uzumaki ninja, and they could exchange blows with any strong opponent, wouldn't the Uzumaki clan be invincible?"

"The only advantage of the caster is that, as the summoner of death, they have the blessing of death."

"In this most fundamental contest of the soul, an external force is crucial!"

"But the gap between you and me is too great, so even if you have the blessing of the Grim Reaper, you can't move my soul, even if I'm just in the Impure World Reincarnation state!"

"Furthermore, Tobirama developed a technique called Soul Imprisonment Technique..."

Leaving aside the soul tug-of-war, if someone directly uses a soul-binding spell to imprison themselves while fighting against death, how can someone who has achieved the Corpse Demon Seal possibly pull out another person's soul?

After hearing Hashirama Senju's words, the Third Hokage was speechless.

He suddenly sighed, "So, First Generation, you understand the gap between us, but don't say it so directly, it's too hurtful!"

Speaking of this, the third generation felt that his current dark appearance was also related to the previous one, and even the one before that.

After all, who was his predecessor? Tobirama Senju, the pinnacle of ninja intellect, who single-handedly established the structural model of ninja villages.

What about the one before him? Hashirama Senju, a god among men, a being who could even suppress the Nine-Tails in its Susanoo form!

Taking over from either of these two inevitably means being compared to them.

Doesn't he know his own level after three generations? How can he be compared to these two?

If a shadow who cannot win the hearts of the people wants to seize power, what other way is there besides resorting to any means necessary?

He wasn't born a bad seed!

Thinking about all this, the third generation felt conflicted.

Fortunately, Hashirama Senju didn't have the ability to read other people's minds, otherwise he would have slapped the Third Hokage twice.

Because of the three generations of alliance, they offer benefits but can't reciprocate sincerity. They can only resort to the lowest-level methods. How can they blame him for being too strong?

Hashirama Senju asked in confusion, "Monkey, why did you suddenly take such drastic measures?"

"I just saw you create a shadow clone to check on Tobirama. Did something happen to Tobirama?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The Third Hokage, regaining his senses, quickly continued following Hashirama Senju's words:

"Danzo lost. He couldn't stop the teacher. To prevent the village from being destroyed, I had no choice but to resort to this method. I'm sorry, First Hokage!"

"I see!" Hashirama Senju nodded, then sighed deeply. "I'm sorry, it was my fault for not keeping a close eye on my brother, allowing him to create the Impure World Reincarnation and harm future generations!"

Then, to the astonishment of the Third Hokage, the Shinigami's hand, which had pierced through Hashirama Senju's body, swiftly pulled out Hashirama's soul. The rock-solid feeling from before seemed to have vanished completely!

The Third Hokage knew that it wasn't that the feeling had disappeared, but rather that Hashirama Senju had given up resisting!

This is why a gentleman can be deceived by his principles!

The Third Hokage was overjoyed, but his face showed a pained, tearful expression: "First Hokage!"

"Alright, alright, no need to act so girlish!"

Hashirama Senju even generously comforted the Third Hokage.

Amidst the Third Hokage's moved expression, as the last wisp of his azure soul sank into the Grim Reaper's mouth, Hashirama Senju's impure body gradually turned ashen.

The Impure World Reincarnation, having lost its vessel for the soul, dissipated, revealing the ninja's appearance within.

Looking at the ninja, San Dai looked surprised, because he recognized the man.

This is a fairly well-known rogue ninja in the Land of Fire. He has the strength of a near-elite Jonin, and is especially skilled in defense. He spends most of his time as a bodyguard for nobles.

A few days ago, this person suddenly disappeared, causing quite a stir in Konoha. The Third Hokage remembered that he sent many ninjas to search for him, but they couldn't find him. So this is where he was!

He somehow accidentally encountered Orochimaru at some point and was used as a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation. No wonder he was nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead!

"This can be considered as solving a long-standing mystery!"

"However, none of this concerns me anymore!"

"In short, I can say that this matter has come to a safe conclusion!"

The third generation sighed wearily, leaned against a tree, and quietly waited for death to take his soul.

Despite committing so many wrongdoings, he still managed to land safely in the end, and even gained posthumous fame. I personally think this ending is quite good for three generations!

Those aged eyes were about to close completely.

But just as the third generation was about to close his eyes for the last moment...

"Crack, crack..." The sound of armor colliding and rubbing together came from the armor.

The third generation subconsciously shifted their perspective.

Suddenly, a pair of feet wrapped in bandages and wearing red wooden clogs appeared in the corner of his eye!

"Um!!?"

Looking at those familiar feet, a surge of power suddenly welled up within the Third Generation, forcefully grabbing his soul that was about to leave his body.

The third generation stared wide-eyed at the spot they had previously caught a glimpse of out of the corner of their eye.

That familiar red armor, the Konoha headband, and the horse-faced long hair—who else could it be but their great First Hokage of Konoha?

Looking at Hashirama Senju, the Third Hokage slowly typed out a few question marks.

Was he hallucinating? Wasn't Hashirama Senju just sealed away by him?

"First Lord, what is this?"

"Hahaha, monkey, you're still here!"

Hashirama Senju scratched the back of his head and let out a hearty laugh, stopping in his tracks as he was about to leave.

Looking into the Third Hokage's eyes, which seemed unable to find peace even in death, Hashirama Senju spoke again to explain:

"It's like this, didn't you say that Danzo couldn't stop Tobirama? If Danzo can't stop Tobirama, and you switched places with me, what will happen to Konoha? That's why I'm a little worried."

"Just then, when you used the Reaper Death Seal on me, the Grim Reaper grabbed me and subtly extracted my soul, thus freeing me from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation."

"So when I was talking to you earlier, I used chakra to create a wood clone that I left behind."

"Of course, I know you're worried about Konoha. Don't worry, the chakra of the Impure World Reincarnation is limitless, so I've reserved a lot of chakra as well. I even managed to combine some Sage Mode chakra in time. I'm still confident that I can resolve Konoha's current predicament."

“But… monkey, monkey? It’s gone!” Hashirama Senju stopped talking.

"Seriously, it's just that I'll help him solve Konoha's problems, why are you so excited?"

He glanced at the Third Generation, whose old eyes were wide open as if they were about to bulge out, and stepped forward to close the Third Generation's stubborn eyes.

After sensing the direction, the wooden clone left behind by Hashirama Senju prepared to deal with Tobirama Senju.

However, when he activated his senses, he discovered that Tobirama Senju had already arrived, and even brought two other people with him.

Looking back, Tobirama Senju's aura was calm and collected; there was no longer any sense of being controlled.

Looking at Danzo on Tobirama Senju's right hand—who had lost his right arm, had his right eye gouged out, and even had his Reverse Four Symbols Seal broken—Hashirama Senju didn't quite understand:

"Tobirama, what's wrong with you?"

"Me? I've broken free of control." Tobirama Senju was equally confused: "And you, brother, what's going on with you?"

"Oh, I see. Just now, the monkey tried to seal me with the Reaper Death Seal, and I let him seal me. But during that time, I left a wood clone behind to deal with the problems in Konoha."

"Tobirama, thank goodness you're out of control, otherwise we brothers would have had to fight again after so long!"

Hashirama Senju was still quite happy and completely unaware that something was wrong.

Upon hearing that the Third Hokage had used the Reaper Death Seal, Tobirama Senju's expression grew even colder.

How could he not know what the third generation was thinking? They simply wanted a good reputation after death!

However, the Third Hokage was too naive. He wanted to trick and coax Hashirama Senju into sealing him, but he didn't expect that Hashirama Senju was an eccentric being like Naruto, with his whimsical ideas at any time and place that were completely unpredictable and could easily reverse the outcome.

This can be considered a form of idiocy against a master.

As the Hokage, being sealed away along with the out-of-control previous Hokage is considered a glorious death.

Although the previous Hokage was sealed, he still left such an obvious wood clone here. It was sealed, but it was as if it wasn't sealed at all. That's not called dying a glorious death in battle, but committing suicide out of guilt!

Even the Third Hokage, worthy of being called the renowned Professor of Ninjutsu, had a method to his suicide. He even summoned a Shinigami to take him away to avoid being resurrected by Edo Tensei after his death and facing judgment.

This whole logic makes perfect sense!

After giving the Third Hokage's corpse a cold look, Tobirama Senju turned to Homura Mitokado and ordered, "Carry him on your back, we're getting ready to go!"

"Big brother, where's Xiaochun?"

"Xiaochun, I used Wood Release to trap her over there before!"

Hashirama Senju casually pointed in a direction.

"Let's go, I still have some things to ask her!"

The four of them went to find Xiaochun, who had just moved to another room.

When they arrived, Akali also came to Koharu's side.

"The second generation, and the first generation!!?" Akali was shocked.

The second generation is alright, but wasn't it said that the first generation's Edo Tensei was removed? How come he's still here?

Akali looked at Orochimaru, who shook his head, his small eyes also filled with shock. She didn't know this either!

"Useless snake, you know nothing about this and nothing about that!"

Akali made a comment, then walked towards the first and second generations.

At this moment, both Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju remembered Akali: "Are you the girl who appeared before?"

"Didn't you go after Orochimaru and the Third Kazekage? Where are they?"

“I killed the Third Kazekage!” Akali replied casually.

"As for Orochimaru... isn't she right here?"

Akali raised her hand like a child who had received a new toy, showing off her new pet snake to the group, although what she held in her hand was far more than just a pet snake.

"what?"

Looking at the little white snake in Akali's hand, called Orochimaru, which looked handsome and had a very high appearance, even Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado slowly typed two question marks.

Is it possible—and they mean possibly—that Orochimaru is just a name, and he isn't actually a snake?

[Ding! Xiaochun's mood points from the dorm changer +9999!]

[Ding! Mood points from Mitokado Homura +9999!]

[Ding! Senju Tobirama's emotional value +999!]

At the same time, Tobirama Senju's emotional state was announced.

He wasn't as shocked as the other two, because Danzo had fed him too much information, and Orochimaru's research path was exactly the same as his. Compared to those two idiots, Tobirama Senju knew his stuff.

The next second, Tobirama Senju suddenly used a teleportation technique to grab Orochimaru directly from Akali's hand!

But at the same time, something shocking happened.

Almost simultaneously with Tobirama Senju's appearance, Akali withdrew Orochimaru with one hand, disappeared from the spot, and then reappeared behind Tobirama Senju!

Akali's expression was aloof as she placed a long, cross-shaped scythe on Tobirama Senju's shoulder.

"What are you doing? This is my snake! Don't even think about taking it. Even if you're the second generation, I won't give it to you!"

[Ding! Xiaochun's mood points from the dorm changer +999!]

[Ding! Mood points from Mitokado Homura +999!]

Koharu Utatane and Ero Mitokado's expressions changed repeatedly.

Akali's speed is astonishing, as she was able to turn the tables and get a step ahead even when facing Tobirama Senju's sudden attack!

Even Hashirama Senju couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Such speed, such a cool girl!"

Hashirama Senju raised his voice, "Tobirama, just say what you want to do. I don't think this girl is an enemy. And even if she were, you wouldn't be able to capture her!"

"I can't catch her?"

Tobirama Senju turned around, his expression questioning.
