Chapter 12

Information

"???"

Who exactly is it?

Both Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha looked at Tobirama Senju, who stood with his arms crossed and eyes fixed on him, with puzzlement.

Especially Madara Uchiha... Although he hated this despicable man who killed his own brother, he couldn't deny that the guy was smart.

Has this guy discovered something again?

"Tobirama, what are you talking about?" Hashirama Senju was more direct, scratching his head and asking Tobirama in confusion, "Didn't I already say? Ishigami is the child of the future Konoha, and didn't you already confirm that he is the future? What's going on? Why are you still asking who he is?"

As she spoke, she tugged at her younger brother, "And keep your eyes to yourself, don't scare the child."

"..."

Tobirama Senju's expression fell, and he looked helplessly at his elder brother. His brother's actions had caused him to lose his original fierce aura.

With a helpless tone, "I'm not denying that the person opposite me is the future Konoha, but this kid..."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Shi Jian, who had gone from panic to calm in the blink of an eye.

Tobirama Senju paused slightly, then adopted a serious tone, "You know too much."

"?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Madara Uchiha seemed to understand something. Without hesitation, he crossed his arms and, like Tobirama Senju, looked at the person opposite him with a serious expression.

But Hashirama Senju still looked at his younger brother with confusion, "What does 'knowing too much' mean? What does he know?"

"Big brother, you..." Tobirama Senju looked at his older brother and sighed again.

His older brother wasn't unintelligent, but in some ways... he could be so clueless it was a real headache.

Madara Uchiha had figured it out, but his older brother still hadn't.

But he turned his head back and continued looking at the stone stream opposite him. "Do you still remember who the stone stream is?"

"child?"

"...ordinary civilians from other villages."

"Oh, you mean this? Yeah, what's so special about it?"

"Fine, just listen to me honestly!" Tobirama Senju stopped trying to guide his older brother's thinking and instead patiently explained, "A six-year-old commoner is surprisingly familiar with things happening in Konoha."

"Isn't this normal?" Hashirama Senju scratched his head again. "He's been living in Konoha for several years now."

"That's not what I mean by familiarity," Tobirama Senju said again, sounding exasperated. "It's more like..."

His tone hardened slightly. "Not only are they very familiar with our deaths, but they also know the manner of the Fourth Hokage's death, and even the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha."

"This..." Hearing this, Hashirama Senju roughly understood what was going on, but he still frowned. "Perhaps someone in Konoha told him?"

"I don't believe that the future Hokage would cover my retreat and get killed, and that the Nine-Tails would be controlled and told to a six-year-old child, a six-year-old child from another village at that." After saying this in an annoyed tone, Tobirama Senju's eyes narrowed again as he looked at the stone stream opposite him, his tone serious.

"Moreover... this kid actually knows about the Flying Thunder God Technique and is so familiar with it. You should understand the importance of a ninjutsu. Even if the future Fourth Hokage learns the Flying Thunder God Technique, as a ninja, I believe he wouldn't easily tell others about his ninjutsu, especially a six-year-old child from another village."

Furthermore, based on the current timeline, this kid probably couldn't even walk yet when the Fourth Hokage died.

At first, he was suspicious when he heard that the other side said it was the future Konoha. Later, after it was confirmed that the other side was indeed the future Konoha, he did not let his guard down. Instead, he kept probing in various ways to obtain information.

And ultimately, the current information was analyzed:

The person opposite them was indeed from the future Konoha, and Ishigami... was indeed a commoner who had never learned any ninjutsu, but this guy actually knew the Flying Thunder God Technique?!

So, in this situation...

Tobirama Senju stared calmly yet sharply at the stone ravine opposite him. "Either he obtained this information through special means, or... there is someone else behind him, someone who knows Konoha and us very well."

"!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Hashirama Senju understood what was going on.

The three of them immediately looked at the stone ravine opposite them. Tobirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had interrogation and vigilance on their faces, while Hashirama Senju... opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

Who would have thought that a child could be hiding so many secrets?

But upon seeing the child scratching his head opposite him, he sighed helplessly, crossed his arms, sat cross-legged on the ground, and said solemnly, "Tobirama, Madara, don't ask anymore. That's a matter for the future, and besides, he's also a child of Konoha. I believe..."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face again. "Little Shijian is a good child. Perhaps it's just that there are some things that are inconvenient to say. Besides, to them, we are already people of the past, people who are dead."

The voice just fell.

Upon hearing Hashirama Senju's words, Madara Uchiha opened his mouth, but seeing Hashirama's serious expression, he simply pursed his lips and said, "Whatever, I'm not interested in the affairs of a brat anyway."

As for the ever-cautious Tobirama Senju… upon hearing his elder brother's words, he once again felt helpless, “Brother, you…”

However, before he could finish speaking...

"It's not something that can't be said." Ishigami sighed, interrupting Tobirama Senju.

To be honest, he knew that if he spent too much time with the three giants of Konoha, his secrets would eventually be discovered.

After all, he knows far too much, and there's always a chance that some secrets will be revealed unintentionally.

But he really didn't expect that something would be discovered so quickly.

How should I put it?

As expected of the Second Hokage!

From the very beginning, every question was a test.

Seeing the three people who had turned their gazes to him because of his words, Shi Jian opened his mouth, but seemed unsure of what to say.

Finally, with a helpless tone, he could only say, "You might not believe it if I told you."

"Don't believe me? It seems you harbor quite a secret!" Tobirama Senju frowned, looking at Ishigami with a meaningful gaze. "Tell us first! Let's see just how unbelievable it is!"

Madara Uchiha, standing to the side, curled his lip in disdain, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Kid, you overestimate yourself."

They lived through the chaotic Warring States period; can't they tell whether it's credible or not?

Unbelievable?

That's absolutely ridiculous!

With an impatient tone, he said, "Get to the point already, I don't have time to waste with your nonsense."

Hashirama Senju nodded as well, but his expression was more gentle as he smiled and said, "It's alright, go ahead and speak."

"Alright!" Hearing the three's words, Shi Jian could only sigh again, nod helplessly, and then put on a serious expression, saying earnestly, "Actually... I'm from another world!"

"???"

What the hell?

Is this kid teasing them?

The three people who were waiting for the other side to reveal some incredible secret suddenly looked at Shi Jian with black lines on their faces, but just as they were about to say something,

Then, suddenly...

"Click~"

It's time again.
