"How is this possible!"
Akainu instinctively wanted to transform into natural elements, but was shocked to discover that his body was gripped by his opponent. Vines emerged around his body, binding him tightly, so he couldn't transform into natural elements and escape at will.
Hashirama tilted his head and looked toward Kizaru who had already escaped far away, shaking his head with slight regret.
"This person's speed is indeed very fast..."
Meanwhile, Tobirama also shot forward. Behind him, a human-shaped water sphere floated, inside which Aokiji's figure was submerged, also wearing an unpleasant expression.
"Leave it to me. Seawater has major limitations on these people, and Sage Techniques also can't be used without limits."
Tobirama nodded. Another water sphere appeared, enveloping Akainu's figure within it as well.
Up to this point, of the three Marine Headquarters Admirals, two were captured, and only Kizaru escaped.
"Too terrifying, too terrifying..."
Kizaru, far on the horizon, looked back toward the previous direction, and a sense of helplessness emerged in his heart.
Was this the existence ranked seventh on the Golden List?
Compared to Tobirama's grand attack momentum, Hashirama's attack appeared quite ordinary, yet in an instant, he suppressed Akainu so he couldn't move.
"I must immediately report to the Fleet Admiral. To face them, perhaps only the Five Gorōsei, or Imu can do it!"
Kizaru's thoughts spun rapidly. He once again accelerated, his body transforming into golden lightning and disappearing.

"First Hokage, Second Hokage!"
"Hokage-sama!"
The surrounding ninjas couldn't hide their joy.
They never imagined that in their lives, they would be able to see these two legendary ninjas.
Their stories had long been written in Konoha Village's historical texts, and their faces were also carved on the Hokage Memorial Rock, becoming belief-like existences.
Now these two legendary ninjas stood alive before them, they were all somewhat dazed.
"Konoha Village is destroyed!"
Hiruzen's face was slightly bitter. He felt ashamed before his two seniors.
Tobirama snorted lightly: "The current situation is turbulent, and other worlds have merged and attacked. This is something unavoidable. Natural disasters indeed cannot be resisted by human power. I also cannot stop those ocean waves."
Hashirama smiled: "A lost village can be rebuilt. As long as Konoha's Will of Fire lives on endlessly, there will be a home wherever."
While speaking, he raised his hand, and smiled faintly: "In that case, let's rebuild Konoha Village here!"
Everyone was shocked.
This place had turned into a vast ocean, and the original village had been buried under the sea. How could they rebuild their home?
Kakashi on the side moved slightly.
He had read Konoha Village history. He knew that the founder of Konoha Village, the God of Shinobi, possessed Wood Release Ninjutsu (Mokuton), and had reached the level of perfection. He was somewhat anticipating it in his heart.
"Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees (Mokuton: Jukai Kōtan)."
After Hashirama made hand seals, the previously calm seawater surged again. Extremely thick tree trunks spiraled and emerged from the seafloor, and began growing rapidly.
Under everyone's amazed gazes, at the previous Konoha Village location, countless thick tree trunks emerged from the seawater. In the blink of an eye, this place had transformed into an extremely large forest.
These trees had lush branches and leaves, and extremely thick trunks. The giant crowns covered the sky and sun.
Especially atop these tree crowns, branches spiraled and intertwined. They actually transformed into beautiful tree houses of different sizes.
At the peak of each large tree appeared one or several tree houses.
They were connected to each other. Branches intertwined between each tree trunk, forming paths made of wood.
"This..."
Jiraiya, who had always considered himself knowledgeable, was also shocked at this moment, amazed by this legendary ninja's abilities.
The other ninjas couldn't describe their feelings, there was only admiration.
What happened before them was simply a miracle.
Building a large forest village with the power of one person. If this wasn't a miracle, what was it called?
"Go bring back the village residents. We will continue living here."
Hashirama withdrew his power, turned to Hiruzen, and smiled faintly.
Hiruzen came to his senses, nodded, and signaled to Kakashi.
Kakashi understood. He flashed away, disappearing together with a group of Anbu ninjas.
"By the way, it seems not many people from the Uchiha Clan remain!"
At this moment, Hashirama changed the topic, looked around, and finally his eyes fixed on Danzo.
Danzo's heart was startled. He hurriedly knelt, feeling panicked and not knowing what to say.
His strength was very strong. He was confident even Hiruzen couldn't do anything to him. Even if some dark things he did secretly were revealed, it wouldn't be a problem.
But now he was afraid.
Those two legendary ninjas were staring at him, giving him a feeling of despair.
"Forget it."
Hashirama squinted his eyes, as if thinking about something. He then looked at Hiruzen, and he also had some guesses in his mind.
The Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai was very strong, and they were also a very ambitious clan.
Their destruction must have been driven behind the scenes by Hiruzen.
Danzo only took much profit from it.
Someone who could become Hokage was not a good person.
Danzo's methods were dark and couldn't be revealed to the public. This was also one of the important factors why he ultimately couldn't occupy the Hokage position.
"How do we handle these two people?"
Hiruzen looked toward Aokiji and Akainu trapped in the water prison.
Tobirama said: "Now the world has changed drastically, and we still don't know the specific situation of the other two worlds. These two people appear to be high officials in another world. Their active invasion this time is not a bad thing. This is a good opportunity to obtain much information we don't know."
Ninjas always placed great importance on information.
Anbu and Root Organization were born to obtain information.
Now the other party had sent themselves, this was also a good thing.
Fortunately, those two legendary ninjas appeared at the critical moment, otherwise, Konoha Village's future would truly be difficult to predict.
Hiruzen pondered: "Since you've returned, you need to start considering what's to come. Now the world has changed, this is no longer just the ninja world. Many unknown strong fighters have emerged. If Konoha Village wants to gain a foothold, it needs more information. We must establish a larger intelligence organization."
Regarding this, Hashirama and Tobirama didn't commit.
Hashirama said: "Leave this matter to you. You are the current Hokage of Konoha Village. By the way, we two have been resurrected. Is there news about Madara?"
When this person was mentioned, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.
