Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Just by accidentally meeting his gaze, it felt as if his dark red eyes were draining the life force from my body!

at this moment.

The ninja world, especially the ninjas of Konoha, came to a profound realization about one thing…

The gentle, sunny, and refreshing side of Qingshui is only a part of him, not the whole.

Qingshui is also the ninja who has killed the most people in the history of the ninja world. He is a terrifying killing king who slaughtered tens of thousands of people in a single battle. He is the Shura among Shura!

"Qingshui...you, you..."

Tobirama Senju forcibly suppressed his inner panic. He had become accustomed to Aoshui's gentle, sun-like temperament, but in an instant, it transformed into this deeply demonic aura, like that of a demon, causing his heart to sink to the bottom.

I'm really... truly possessed!

"Tobirama, in this world, there is no value in your existence..."

Aokiji stared intently at Tobirama Senju, ignoring the gazes of everyone else except him, and slowly said, "What do you think?"

Tobirama Senju said, trembling, "You... how could you think that... Aoshui!"

Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha, a firm believer in the Eye of the Moon, listened to Aokiji's theory, which should have aligned with his own beliefs, but felt no joy. Instead, he felt an unknown sense of panic...

Disillusioned with the ninja world, Madara Uchiha's proposed solution was to eliminate conflict between people through the Eye of the Moon Plan. Deep down, he had no intention of instigating a world-class massacre...

In the original timeline, even as the current Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Madara Uchiha still found time to console himself: "I was not the one who started the Fourth Shinobi World War; I gave them a chance to surrender."

In Madara Uchiha's view, the ninjas who fell victim to the Eye of the Moon Plan simply went to the other side of happiness, not died, and would have a wonderful life in their dreams just like in reality.

But when Madara Uchiha caught a glimpse of the lifeless, withered sea, which resembled the ashes of a dead person, out of the corner of his eye…

He couldn't help but think...

Will Aoshui, who has turned the ocean into this mess, resort to the same gentle methods after becoming disillusioned with the ninja world?

"Tobirama, indeed, this world has precious true feelings, but most of the time it is filled with the pain and backwardness brought about by meaningless internal friction."

"This pervasive and deeply ingrained atmosphere throughout the ninja world will only cause this backward planet to gradually perish amidst internal strife, leaving it utterly defenseless against any real external invasion."

Aokiji stared at Tobirama and said softly, "I'm already disappointed with this place... I can take over this mantle now and use my power to forcibly unify the entire ninja world, preparing for the war against the Otsutsuki clan."

"But the problem is, I am just an average person, and my lifespan is no better than that of ordinary people... And after I die, will the so-called unified ninja world fall apart in an instant, just like when Hashirama Senju died?"

"I think so..." Qing Shui wore a strange smile, a glint of anger flashing in his eyes:

"After all, this is a world that has been unable to unite for thousands of years. Division and struggle have become inevitable options here. There is an invisible hand that has been creating opposing camps, ensuring that the war will never end."

Tobirama Senju remained silent, and so did all the Kage who were intimately familiar with the history of the ninja world.

The ninja world really is exactly as Qing Shui described.

After fighting for a thousand years without achieving unification, the first peace treaty was established with the system of one country and one village, but it was blatantly torn up after Hashirama Senju's death.

Compared to the Warring States period, the number of ninjas killed in the hidden villages formed by ninja groups was no less than that of the Warring States period when clans fought each other...

In the First Shinobi World War alone, five Kage were killed across all the major hidden villages, along with countless Jonin and Chunin...

In the Warring States period, it would have been very difficult for so many powerful ninjas to die in such a short period of time!

Meanwhile, the Sage of Six Paths in the Pure Land felt cold sweat pouring down his back!

No, Qing Shui seems to be... seems to be talking about him?

Why has the ninja world failed to achieve peace for a thousand years?

The root cause lies in the constant reincarnation of Ashura and Indra's chakra, which always gives rise to reincarnated forms that overwhelm the ninja world yet are also fiercely opposed, each pulling in their own camp and splitting the ninja world, which had finally begun to consolidate its unity, apart again...

However, the Sage of Six Paths did not believe that any mortal could truly comprehend the secrets hidden within history... at most, reincarnated beings might sense that chakra was possessing them.

But Qing Shui saw through all of this and almost blurted out the names of Ashura and Indra!

This has led to feelings of disgust and distrust towards the ninja world, prompting them to take extreme actions...

"What should I do? Should I go and clarify this with Qingshui...?"

The Sage of Six Paths tugged at his beard, his sage demeanor completely gone. Although he held the power of the ninja world's souls, recorded for a thousand years, in his hand while hiding in the Pure Land, there were certain conditions for releasing it.

Ideally, a carrier is needed…

But the question is, will Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, the two most suitable candidates, listen to him and fight against Aoshui?

Furthermore, judging from Aokiji's exaggerated performance, the Sage of Six Paths did not believe that simply handing over the power of the Six Paths Yin and Yang to Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju would be enough to defeat Aokiji...

"If I show up, Uchiha Aosui will still be carrying his mother inside him, which would be extremely dangerous..."

The Sage of Six Paths stared at Qing Shui, a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind: "If he harbors hostility towards me, my rash appearance might end up like those two of my kin—instantly killed by him!"

"In that case, the last glimmer of hope for the salvation of the ninja world will be gone! I must remain calm and steady to see what Uchiha Aokiji is up to!"

After a period of internal debate, the Sage of Six Paths, known as Hiruzen Otsutsuki, came up with the following conclusion through a brainstorming session: wait!

In the real world...

Qing Shui surveyed the silent crowd and said calmly:

"Therefore, I'm giving you some time. I demand that you unite and improve your combat abilities as quickly as possible, whether it's tailed beasts, natural energy, any forbidden techniques, or various combinations thereof. I want to see this thousand-year-old fragmented ninja world prove to me that you can band together and that you still have hope and meaning to be saved..."

"I will fight you. If you can satisfy me and give me hope for the future, then I will trust the ninja world once again. Even if it costs me my life, I will lead the fight against the Otsutsuki clan..."

"If you still cannot unite, then I will sacrifice the entire planet, absorb all the natural energy into myself, and become a wandering avenger in the universe to avenge my homeland and hunt down every Otsutsuki I encounter..."

Qingshui's gaze suddenly softened again.

He looked at Tobirama Senju, Tsunade, Shisui, Might Guy, Yatsuho Uchiha, Sakumo Hatake, Hiruko, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kisame, Kimijiro Kaguya, and other people from Konoha and his close associates, and said softly:

"Although you can no longer keep up with me, you are still an important part of my life, and you have spent a precious time with me... Before I sacrifice this planet, I will create an alternate dimension where you can live, send you in, and let you spend the rest of your lives safely and without worries."

Aokiji then looked at Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha, and smiled at the two brothers:

"Of course, this also includes you two elders in your families. I hope you can spend your old age in peace."

"And the other ninjas, although you have betrayed Konoha in the past, you are still beings from the same planet. If you want to survive, I will give you a chance to fight for it."

Qingshui glanced at the other ninjas in the ninja world, looked at the utterly shocked crowd, and held up one index finger:

"Gentlemen, I do not ask you to ignite a belief in unity, because I have no hope for you in yourselves."

"But if you want to try, please do so as soon as possible. I don't know when I will come to test your results... Don't think that the extraterrestrials are as simple as the two I killed. Perhaps they can act even faster than I can."

After Qing Shui finished speaking, he turned around without looking back, looked down at the boundless Dead Sea, and sighed softly.

"Brother, don't you want me anymore! My eye technique can help you!" Shisui looked at Qingshui's back, tears of blood welling up in his Mangekyou Sharingan, which had just been healed, and shouted hoarsely.

"Lord Qingshui! My youth can still burn, please let me fight alongside you!" Might Guy was sweating profusely. Although his body was still a little sore after being rebuilt, he pounded his chest hard, trying to get Qingshui to turn around and look at him.

"Qing Shui!..."

"Lord Qingshui!..."

"Qing Shui?!!"

Various calls rang out behind Qingshui, and Tsunade, her eyes brimming with tears, seemed to feel wronged by her own weakness, shedding tears of inexplicable meaning...

However, Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, and Izuna Uchiha, the four most powerful ninjas, all fell silent.

As one of the strongest or top-tier ninjas in the ninja world...

They never imagined that one day they would be criticized by a junior for being unable to keep up with the times in terms of ability and becoming something like a burden.

Aside from Hashirama, the true Senju member, Tobirama, Izuna, and Madara, the three members of the Uchiha clan, while deeply hurt by Aozumi's words, also felt a subtle sense of identification...

Those who were instantly defeated in one move were indeed like a burden.

It seems to be this kind of logic—

Qing Shui, instead of leading his old, weak, and disabled followers, spouting nonsense about bonds, friendship, and companionship, into a decisive battle with a powerful enemy, was far too much.

It's definitely not as good as being the sole ruler, absorbing the energy of the entire ninja world, and fighting against an unknown and powerful enemy!

Moreover, Qing Shui showed them a final act of tenderness.

What he wants to drain is the natural energy of the ninja world; as for the people of the ninja world, he seems to care nothing...

Does this count as destroying the ninja world?

But the problem is, which of these former powerhouses would truly admit to themselves that they are a burden, and who would lower their heads and really believe that they are useless people who cannot fight, willing to retire in another dimension and watch Qing Shui and the people from beyond the heavens fight each other?

Especially given Qing Shui's drastic change in temperament!

Is Qingshui's condition truly normal, or is there some other hidden reason, such as his mind being influenced by that extraterrestrial woman named Kaguya?

After all, Qing Shui's personality is so different now compared to before!

“Aoshui…we need to talk!” Tobirama Senju took a deep breath, stared at Aoshui’s back, and said in a deep voice.

Among everyone, he was the only one who had the confidence to meet Qing Shui's gaze.

But Qing Shui still didn't reply to him. Instead, he waved his hand without turning his head and let out a long sigh.

Immediately.

The natural energy within Qing Shui's body surged forth like a flood, rapidly dispersing from his body and returning to the ocean, instantly revitalizing the barren sea.

Tobirama Senju's eyes lit up!

Is this a sign of weakness? If it's the Azure Water that gathers the power of the ocean, then Tobirama Senju will truly be in despair…

Tobirama Senju, still unwilling to give up, stared at Aoshui and continued to call out, "Aoshui!"

This time, however, Qingshui did not respond to Tobirama Senju. Instead, he casually waved his hand, opened a spatial portal, walked in, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

finally…

This long-standing and unfamiliar war between ninja world warriors, which began with the appearance of one powerful figure after another, seemed to have temporarily come to an end at this moment.

But this was only temporary, because Qingshui had another difficult problem in front of them.

Should they wait for Qingshui to arrange for them to go to another dimension to end their remaining lives, or should they prove to Qingshui that they can still fight?

This is an extremely complex problem.

And at this time.

Tobirama Senju's gaze fell upon a fully-formed, deep purple Susanoo hovering higher above: "Capture him! I have a feeling this unfamiliar Uchiha possesses crucial information..."

But what he didn't expect was.

Before anyone could make a move, the Susanoo flew towards them and vanished in mid-air, leaving a young man who landed steadily on the ground.
