Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 24 The death of the second Hokage Tobirama

Tetsuya was very frustrated; he felt like he had been tricked by the damn system again.

The dog system squeezed all the money out of him.

They said that to trigger the "High-Level Skill" feature, you have to draw 100 times.

After a hundred draws, I only got twenty Izuna fragments.

To revive Izuna, you must collect one hundred pieces.

"System, you're a real jerk! 100 pulls and only 20 fragments, pure pity pull!!! Give me back my hard-earned money, ahhhhhh!!!"

【Oh dear, Master, broaden your perspective! Money is just an external thing; as long as you work hard, you'll always have it. For a master with the immortal body of an evil god, time is meaningless. Saving money is a piece of cake, isn't it?】

Although Tetsuya understood that the dog system was right, time was meaningless to him, and correspondingly, money that could be earned simply by spending time was also meaningless; it was just a matter of time.

But he still felt very unhappy.

I finally managed to save up some money by selling ramen and cup noodles, but then that damn system ripped it all off.

Ugh, I'm in a bad mood.

Despite his extreme displeasure, Tetsuya opened his shop and went about his business as usual.

The days that followed seemed to settle down.

Every day is the same routine, watching customers come and go in the ramen shop.

Jiraiya and his two companions would occasionally come over for ramen, while Tsunade would come every now and then to bring Tobirama and Mito a bowl of ramen back with them.

This also made Tetsuya and Tsunade become increasingly familiar with each other.

Every time Tetsuya sees Tsunade, he can't help but sigh. Who would have thought that the current "washboard princess" would become a famous busty woman in the ninja world? It's truly unexpected.

Orochimaru would also come often, and every time he came he would ask if there were any new products. Orochimaru was always very interested in the new products launched by Chiba Ramen.

Days passed by one after another, until this day.

Inside the Hokage's office.

As Tobirama was processing official documents, he suddenly felt his vision becoming somewhat blurry.

What's wrong with me?

Tobirama put down his pen and looked out the window, where the scenery became blurry.

Suddenly, he realized that his time was up and it was time for his soul to return to the Pure Land.

To be inaccurate, he should have returned to the Pure Land long ago, if it weren't for that...

"Is it time?"

Tobirama struggled to the window and looked outside, but everything was blurry.

"Izuna, I still couldn't witness the moment you returned to the village. I hope that when you do return, you won't harm the village."

If I find out you've harmed the village after I'm dead, I won't let you get away with it, even if I crawl out of the Pure Land!

As he spoke, he felt his body growing weaker and weaker.

"Is this the end? But I haven't done enough for the village. I can't just give up like this, at least, at least..."

With his last breath, Tobirama unleashed a secret technique.

The blurry scenery before my eyes became clear again.

"Someone, notify the monkeys and the patriarchs of all the major families to come here."

"Yes."

The Hokage's personal ANBU immediately began operations.

On this day, the entire village of Konoha mourned.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama, has passed away peacefully. Even in his final moments, he was thinking of the village.

Before he fell, he summoned the heads of the major ninja clans and the village's high-ranking officials, and in front of everyone, he appointed the Third Hokage, who was his disciple, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He did this to prevent a repeat of the previous situation.

To prevent the villagers from fighting over the Hokage position, which could cause the village to fall apart.

Hiruzen, who was designated as the Third Hokage, did not rush to succeed to the position. Instead, he held a funeral for his teacher, the previous Hokage of the village.

As if to accentuate the wind blowing against his back, it rained on the day of the funeral.

Everyone stood in silence before the Second Hokage's grave. This Hokage had worked diligently for Konoha, dedicating his entire life to the cause, and had not even left behind a single descendant.

Tsunade stood sadly beside her teacher, gazing at the tombstone with tears in her eyes.

Today, he lost another loved one.

The high-ranking officials did not linger. After offering their condolences, they left, as there were still many matters in Konoha that awaited their attention.

After the high-ranking officials and representatives of the various ninja clans left, the villagers of Konoha spontaneously came forward to see them off.

Tetsuya mingled at the very back of the crowd. After everyone had left, he arrived at Tobirama's tombstone. Looking at the name engraved on the tombstone, Tetsuya took out a bowl of ramen from his food box and placed it in front of the tombstone, which was already covered with broken pieces. This was the flavor that Tsunade had told him Tobirama loved.

"Oh dear, I thought that by saving you from the clutches of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn, you would be able to change the course of your destiny. I never expected that you would still leave."

Tetsuya shook his head with a sigh. It seemed that Tobirama had already exhausted his potential back then, and it was quite impressive that he could persist for so long.

【Oh dear, Master, why are you so sad? Death is nothing but bullshit to you.】

Upon hearing the sound of the husky, Tetsuya couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Which eye of yours saw that I was sad? Was it the two front eyes or the back eyes? I was just feeling a little sentimental."

【No need for regrets, Master. You could easily resurrect him, wouldn't you? As long as the money's right, everything is negotiable.】

Tetsuya was speechless when he heard this.

"What do you mean? Don't tell me that Tobirama is the mastermind behind Izuna?"

[Congratulations, Master! You answered correctly! Of course, if you wish, I can arrange other characters for you later, such as Hashirama? Or Ashura? Indra? Madara Uchiha?]

【Um, it seems Madara Uchiha isn't an option for now. He's not dead yet, so I can't revive him. But once he dies, I can arrange for him to be brought to you, Master.】

"You can shut up now."

Tetsuya rolled his eyes and turned to leave.

However, he was actually considering whether to revive Tobirama and have him and Izuna work for him.

Yes, it would be very interesting if the two of them were together.

What did you say? Will they listen to you?

Don't joke around. By the time I actually resurrect them, it will be a long time from now.

By then, regardless of how many good items I can obtain, just the Sage Mode from the Weasel Grave will probably place me in the top tier of the ninja world. Strength determines everything.

Not to mention that Erha had told him from the beginning that no matter how powerful the person he resurrected was in the past, he could not harm him, and that alone was enough.
