Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 263 Uchiha Kid and Senju Old Demon
"Are you a member of the Uchiha clan? You've become the Fifth Hokage. Madara would be very happy if he saw this." Hashirama Senju scratched the back of his head and laughed heartily after hearing Touko Uchiha's words.

When Tobirama Senju heard Uchiha Touko introduce himself, his expression became inscrutable. He hadn't expected the Fifth Hokage to be a member of the Uchiha clan. Touko's demeanor was too deceptive; he didn't possess the typical arrogant air of the Uchiha. Instead, he appeared quite gentle, so Tobirama hadn't considered the possibility of him being from the Uchiha clan at all.

The atmosphere in the secret room suddenly became awkward, and the four Hokage present fell silent for a moment.

"The village has developed quite well under Touko's leadership over the years." At this moment, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who took the initiative to break the silence. He knew that his teacher did not like the Uchiha clan, but even considering that Touko had just covered for him, Hiruzen Sarutobi took the initiative to smooth things over.

"When did the Uchiha clan learn to develop a village?" Tobirama Senju glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi with an unfriendly expression. He was certain that all the systems he had left in the village had fundamentally eliminated the possibility of the Uchiha clan becoming Hokage, but Uchiha Touko was standing in front of him wearing the Fifth Hokage's robes. Something unknown must have happened.

"Hey, by the way, if you're the Fifth Hokage, then where did the Fourth Hokage go?" Hashirama Senju suddenly remembered that the Fourth Hokage seemed to be missing, so he asked.

As Hashirama Senju finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Touko Uchiha both showed expressions of regret.

After a sigh, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "The Fourth Hokage used the Uzumaki clan's secret technique, the Reaper Death Seal, to stop the rampaging Nine-Tails from destroying the village. Even his soul was unable to go to the Pure Land."

"Nine-Tails?" Hashirama Senju was taken aback upon hearing this, his expression seemingly saying that even a Hokage would need to risk his life to seal this thing.

At this moment, Tobirama Senju keenly grasped the key phrase "Nine-Tails is going berserk," and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

[Just as I expected. This guy must be like Madara Uchiha, using his Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails and wreak havoc in the village, then taking the opportunity to kill the Fourth Hokage, and then seizing power himself. That must be it! Otherwise, the Uchiha clan would never have been able to become Hokage.]

Tobirama Senju always assumed the Uchiha clan was the most malicious. In just a few words, he had already imagined a plot in his mind that Uchiha Tokō used his Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails on the night of the Nine-Tails' death, forcing the Fourth Hokage to use a forbidden technique to seal the Nine-Tails.

Tobirama Senju glanced at Touko Uchiha, who had a gentle smile on his lips, and then asked, "Your eyes, are they the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

“Of course.” Uchiha Touko nodded, then activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Oh?" Senju Hashirama sensed the surge of ocular power emanating from Uchiha Touko and exclaimed in amazement, "Not bad, Touko, your ocular power fluctuations are almost on par with Madara's back then."

"Hehe, thanks to the blessings of several Hokage predecessors, I've been fortunate enough to have my current strength," Uchiha Touko laughed. "Only with power can I protect the village and the Will of Fire."

"Well said! With a Hokage like you in the village, I can rest assured!" Hashirama Senju said.

"Hmph, the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Tobirama Senju's face darkened completely upon seeing Tokio Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan. After all, no one in the entire ninja world understood the Uchiha clan better than him. Every single Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan was a lunatic! He would surely lead the village into the abyss!
It can only be said that prejudice in people's hearts is indeed a huge mountain. Before learning the name of Uchiha Touko, the few good feelings that Senju Tobirama had in his heart because of Uchiha Touko's temperament had now been completely transformed into a stereotype of Uchiha.

"I remember, the Mangekyou Sharingan has the ability to control tailed beasts, right?" Tobirama Senju suddenly spoke up, breaking the harmony in the midst of the pleasant atmosphere.

"What does the Second Hokage mean by this?" Uchiha Touko's eyes narrowed as he looked at Senju Tobirama.

Although he had already guessed that this old guy might not be very polite to him, Uchiha Touko didn't expect him to say it so bluntly.

"It seems the Second Hokage has some issues with me, the Hokage of the Uchiha clan," Uchiha Touko said. "It seems the rumors within the clan about the Second Hokage's targeting of the Uchiha clan are true."

The atmosphere inside the sealed room suddenly became tense and confrontational.

"You born evil Uchiha brat, I'll personally..."

"You inherently evil thousand-handed old devil, I'll personally..."

A moment later, the two spoke almost simultaneously. Tobirama Senju raised his finger, while Touko Uchiha activated his Mangekyou Sharingan once more.

"Tobirama!" Hashirama Senju dropped his playful expression and looked at his younger brother with a serious face, while a massive surge of chakra erupted from him.

"Touko, Garlic Bird! Garlic Bird!" Hiruzen Sarutobi used his old arms and legs to hold onto Touko Uchiha while repeatedly calling out.

"Big brother, this guy has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan! Are there any good people among the Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan? I can't just stand by and watch the village that holds your dreams be destroyed by him!"

"What's wrong with the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Uchiha Touko angrily rebuked Senju Tobirama. "My Mangekyou Sharingan awakened during the Third Shinobi World War to protect my comrades in the village. Every bit of my eye power was used to defend the village and uphold the Will of Fire!"

"I once heard from the elders of the clan that the Second Hokage always liked to target our Uchiha clan. At the time, I didn't believe it. In my mind, the Second Hokage has always been a selfless and great figure, so I always scoffed at such remarks within the clan. After becoming the head of the Uchiha clan, I strictly forbade the elders from continuing to talk about these things. But I never expected that seeing the Second Hokage today would be such a disappointment to me."

"I don't understand why the Second Hokage harbors such malice towards our clan! This is truly not in accordance with the Will of Fire!" Uchiha Touko said indignantly.

Tobirama Senju: ? ? ?
Tobirama Senju stared wide-eyed at Touko Uchiha in disbelief, his mind reeling. How could such words possibly come from the mouth of an Uchiha?

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed helplessly, thinking to himself:
[I knew it! I can't beat Dou Guang not because I'm bad. Didn't you see how even the teacher couldn't handle Dou Guang?]

"Tobirama! You've really gone too far!" At this moment, Hashirama Senju stepped forward and said to Tobirama Senju with a serious expression, "How can you make such malicious assumptions about our junior?"

“Teacher, Touko is different from ordinary Uchiha... Under his leadership, the village has prospered over the years, which makes me feel ashamed of myself.” Hiruzen Sarutobi also stepped forward at this time and said a few words in support of Touko Uchiha.

"Tobirama, apologize to Touko." Hashirama Senju said with a serious expression.

"Hmph!" Tobirama Senju snorted coldly, seemingly unwilling to listen to his elder brother and bow down to Touko Uchiha, a junior member of the Uchiha clan.

"First Hokage, Second Hokage, it seems your prejudice against our clan runs quite deep. Alas, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, Madara-sama did cause considerable damage to the village, a fact I can't deny. However, over the years, our Uchiha clan has been trying to integrate into the village, and we've already seen some initial success. First Hokage and Second Hokage, why don't you come with me for a walk around the village later and see for yourselves?" "Yes, yes, I'd love to see how the village has developed now," Hashirama Senju nodded repeatedly.

Tobirama Senju's eyes narrowed, and he began to suspect that Touko Uchiha's actions might be part of a conspiracy.

"First Hokage, Second Hokage, please." Uchiha Touko said with a smile, "However, in order not to cause a disturbance in the village, the two Hokage should use the Transformation Technique to disguise themselves a little."

"Of course!" Hashirama Senju nodded, then formed hand seals and transformed into the image of a traveling merchant from the Sengoku period.

"Uh, First Hokage, there are no people in the ninja world who wear this kind of clothing anymore," Uchiha Touko reminded him.

"Really? That makes sense. I didn't think it through, hahaha!" Hashirama Senju said, scratching his head and laughing.

Subsequently, under Uchiha Touko's arrangement, the two used transformation jutsu to dress up as big businessmen, looking like bosses who came to Konoha to investigate investments.

Senju Tobirama, determined to expose Uchiha Touko's conspiracy, had no objection to this arrangement.

The group first arrived at Uchiha Tokō's office. The first thing Senju Hashirama saw was the portraits of the past Hokage hanging on the wall. After scanning around, the gaze of the former God of Shinobi settled on the portrait of Namikaze Minato.

"Is this the Fourth Hokage?" Hashirama Senju asked.

“Yes,” Uchiha Touko nodded, “In every respect, the Fourth Hokage was a great ninja, and his passing is a huge loss to the entire village.”

"What a pity," Hashirama Senju said with some regret.

Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju looked at the four large characters "政清和人和" (meaning "peaceful governance and harmonious people") hanging opposite the portraits of the past Hokage, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

At that moment, Uchiha Touko put Jiraiya back on the sword rack in his office. Senju Tobirama frowned upon seeing this and said, "You just leave your weapon like this in the Hokage's office?"

“Of course,” Uchiha Touko said, and then he explained his reasons to the two former Hokage.

"Well done! As Hokage, you should be a support for every comrade in the village!" Hashirama Senju praised Touko Uchiha loudly.

Even Tobirama Senju had to reluctantly agree with what Touko Uchiha had said.

"So, where in the village would you two like to visit?" Uchiha Touko asked at this moment.

"Is the Security Department still managed by your Uchiha clan?" Tobirama Senju asked.

“No, the current captain of the security force is Kakashi Hatake, a disciple of the former Fourth Hokage and a descendant of the Hatake clan,” Uchiha Touko said.

"You've relinquished the power of the security force?" Tobirama Senju looked at Touko Uchiha in disbelief. Given the nature of the Uchiha clan, how could they possibly hand over the power of the security force, which held such great authority, to someone else?
"What the Second Hokage said is true. No matter what you do, it all comes down to serving the village," Uchiha Touko said.

Tobirama Senju's lips moved. He finally understood why the Uchiha clan was able to obtain the Hokage position within the inescapable trap he had set. The current Uchiha clan leader was truly willing to sacrifice!
“Since the Second Hokage mentioned the Security Force, let’s go check it out together,” said Uchiha Touko. “Inahi!”

Upon hearing Uchiha Touko's call, Uchiha Inahi entered the office.

"Give the order, I'll go check on the security team in a bit," Uchiha Touko instructed.

"Yes!" Uchiha Inahime nodded and immediately went to make arrangements. Although he was a little curious about the two strangers who suddenly appeared in the Hokage's office, Uchiha Inahime did not ask any questions. However, he guessed that the two people must be important guests of the village. Didn't you see that the Third Hokage and the Fifth Hokage were standing in the office?
"You actually had to make arrangements in advance? Are you trying to hide something?" Tobirama Senju sneered at Uchiha Touko's advance notice.

"Everything in the security force is open and fair; there's nothing to hide. The advance notice was simply to prevent the higher-ups from overthinking things. Surely the Second Hokage understands such a simple principle," Uchiha Touko retorted.

"You... quick-witted..." Tobirama Senju was momentarily speechless. He understood the principle that leaders shouldn't conduct surprise inspections casually, but being rebuked by Touko Uchiha made him lose face.

The difficulty of dealing with Uchiha Touko was far beyond his imagination.

"Tobirama!" Hashirama Senju couldn't help but remind his younger brother again upon seeing this.

"First Hokage, please wait a moment." Uchiha Touko said, setting out a tea set in the office and then lighting the stove to brew tea. "Before you visit the security force, please try my cooking."

"Touko, you also know the tea ceremony? Then I'll have to accept it." Hashirama Senju laughed and sat down in front of the tea table.

After the group had drunk two rounds of tea, Uchiha Tokō got up and invited everyone to visit the security team.

When the group arrived, the guards who were not on patrol duty that day were already waiting at the entrance of the guard station. Upon seeing Uchiha Touko's figure, Fujiwara Yoki shouted loudly.

"Salute to the two Hokage!"

"loyalty!"
