Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 365 The Turning Point of the World

In response to Jianchuan Ju's question, Senju Tobirama did not choose to avoid answering.

After a long silence, he replied in a cold tone.

"I'm not planning to steal the body, I just want to confirm whether my brother's body is still in the tomb."

After hearing these words, Jianchuan Ju's eyes lit up.

Obviously, Senju Tobirama knew a lot of inside information, which made the gossip fire in his heart burn fiercely.

"Confirm whether the body is missing? So, you know that there might be something fishy about the burial of Senju Hashirama?"

However, this time Senju Tobirama did not answer immediately, but just looked at Jianchuan Tachibana calmly.

With a slight movement of his head, Jianchuan Ju understood what the other party meant and spoke with a smile.

"That's right, Hashirama Senju's body is not in the tomb, but what is inside?"

"As long as you answer my questions, I don't mind giving you the things, or even letting you go."

Upon hearing this, Senju Tobirama nodded calmly, as if he didn't care at all whether what Jianchuan Ju said was true or not.

Or maybe, it seemed like he had always wanted to tell Jianchuan Ju about these things.

"What the hell? Senju Hashirama committed suicide?"

Jianchuan Ju's eyes were as big as copper bells, and his face was full of disbelief.

On the contrary, the expression of Tobirama Senju, who was telling this "story", did not change at all.

"Yes, my eldest brother chose to commit suicide for the sake of peace between the Senju and Uchiha clans. Before he died, he ordered all members of the Senju clan not to retaliate against the Uchiha clan, and to cooperate with Uchiha Madara to establish Konoha Village and put an end to the hatred that had lasted for a thousand years!"

Jianchuan Ju pinched his thigh hard with his right hand to keep himself calm.

But he really wanted to ask Senju Tobirama a question.

"Is your elder brother seriously ill?"

But thinking of the Senju Tobirama in front of him, and the Senju clan that now seems to have been completely integrated into Konoha.

Jianchuan Ju also wanted to ask the same question.

"So the leader of your Senju clan committed suicide, and you just turned to Uchiha Madara?"

Although what he said was not pleasant to hear, it was indeed something that Jianchuan Ju could not understand.

If Hashirama Senju were still alive, he would have relied on his own prestige to suppress the opposition within the clan and choose to live in peace with the Uchiha clan.

I can still understand Jianchuan Ju to some extent.

But Senju Hashirama is dead, and the thousand-year blood feud between the Senju and Uchiha clans has been forgotten just like that?

In response to Jianchuan Ju's doubts, Senju Tobirama just had a somewhat gloomy and complicated expression.

It was as if he was explaining to Jianchuanju, or as if he was convincing himself.

"This was Big Brother's last wish before he died, and that bastard Ban did treat the two races equally."

Well, Jianchuan Ju believed the second half of the sentence.

Although we can't figure out what was going on in Hashirama Senju's train of thought, he actually chose to commit suicide.

But with Uchiha Madara's pride, if Hashirama really chose to commit suicide for the peace between the two clans, he would never be harsh on the Senju clan.

Even given the bond between the two, it is not impossible that he is more inclined towards the Senju clan in handling daily affairs.

This can also be seen from the fact that Tobirama Senju, the former patriarch of the Senju clan, was able to serve as the second-in-command of the village after the establishment of Konoha.

"Then why did you start a rebellion afterwards? To avenge your elder brother? If Madara succeeds in unifying the ninja world, wouldn't that be exactly what Hashirama Senju wanted, peace in the ninja world?"

Without the previous tension, Jianchuan Ju simply sat down casually.

Just as he was about to take a bite of bear meat, he remembered that this thing had rubbed against Senju Tobirama's face before, so he simply threw the bear paw aside.

Senju Tobirama, who also saw this scene, twitched his mouth.

However, after hearing Jianchuan Ju's question, his expression became even more depressed.

"It's not a matter of revenge. Death was the choice of my idiot brother. And I also saw it at the time. Uchiha Madara did want to stop my brother, but he was too late."

"But he should never, ever, desecrate his brother's body after his death!"

Jianchuan Ju said with some realization after hearing this.

"So, Uchiha Madara demonstrated Wood Release in front of you?"

Although Senju Tobirama was a little surprised as to why Jianchuan Tachibana knew all this, he still confirmed it.

"Yes, although I haven't confirmed it before, only my eldest brother can master that level of Wood Release."

"And ever since the end of the Wind Country War, that bastard Madara seems to have given up the idea of ​​unifying the ninja world and creating peace."

"They always say, intentionally or unintentionally, that ninjas are not trustworthy. Even if unification is achieved, the war still cannot be stopped. This is bullshit that betrays ideals."

That's it.

Listening to Senju Tobirama's complex tone of hatred, complaint, and a bit of disappointment.

Jianchuan Ju also had a rough guess.

It is estimated that Tobirama's rebellion was not only because Uchiha Madara transplanted Hashirama's flesh and blood, but also because of his resentment towards him for abandoning the promise he had made with Senju Hashirama.

As for why Uchiha Madara had such a transformation, Jianchuan Ju also roughly knew the reason.

In all likelihood, it was that Black Zetsu guy who did this.

It's nothing more than door-to-door fraud, or modifying the text on the ancestral stone tablet of the Uchiha clan.

Finally, Uchiha Madara achieved the so-called 'true permanent peace', Infinite Tsukuyomi!

But when he thought of this, Jianchuan Ju looked at Senju Tobirama with some pity.

"I guess this guy never thought that his betrayal might have made Uchiha Madara more distrustful of the real world and more determined to pursue the path of infinite moon reading?"

You know, in the time and space where Jianchuan Ju is.

Uchiha Madara was in a situation where all his relatives died, he was betrayed by his clan members, and his good friends broke up with him, and in the end he was left alone.

That’s how I embarked on the road of Infinite Tsukuyomi, of no return.

And in this world.

Uchiha Madara has the support of the entire Konoha Village, so it is really possible for him to unify the ninja world and achieve a hundred years of peace.

Perhaps he was also hesitant when he was telling these words to Senju Tobirama intentionally or unintentionally.

Do you hope to get a different answer from the younger brother of this once best friend?
After all, in this world, one of them lost his younger brother and the other lost his older brother.

Although there may have been some kind of hatred originally, it can be seen from the tone of Senju Tobirama.

They spent seven years together, working together for the long-cherished wish of Hashirama Senju.

Perhaps some new bond has already been formed between the two of them.

Of course, these things are just Jianchuan Ju's own guesses.

As for Uchiha Madara's true thoughts, probably only he himself knows.

However, the topic had come to this point, so Jianchuanju asked the last question.

"How many tailed beasts has Uchiha Madara collected now?!"
