Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

"I need your assurances regarding safety and convenience. It's not that I don't trust you, Tobirama, but it's your prejudice against the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Nan didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was clear: if Senju Tobirama wanted to settle personal scores, killing a few Uchiha would be too easy for him.

"What do you take me for? I am the Second Hokage of Konoha! How could I possibly harm my own comrades in the village!"

Tobirama Senju's face darkened. He really wanted to punch Uchiha Nan, but he didn't expect Uchiha Nan to distrust him in this matter.

All he did was oust Madara Uchiha, establish the Uchiha Security Department to guard against the Uchiha, and invent a few ninjutsu to deal with them. Apart from these, what else has he done to wrong the Uchiha clan?

"Alright, alright, I believe you. I am the head of the Uchiha clan, and the lives of my clan members are at stake. Concern leads to confusion, concern leads to confusion, hahaha."

Uchiha Nan laughed it off, saying he was just asking casually. Although Senju Tobirama despised the Uchiha clan, he shouldn't have stooped to that level.

"However, there's something I need to warn you about in advance: Hashirama cells are very dangerous, extremely dangerous. Even now, I don't fully understand the underlying principles. It involves a level that I can't comprehend right now."

"To be honest, I even doubt whether my older brother and I were born to the same parents. Can my older brother's body even be considered human?"

Tobirama Senju's tone was tinged with regret, saying that the gap between people was greater than the gap between pigs.

"Even if your Uchiha clan has a certain natural compatibility with Hashirama cells, considering the dangers of Hashirama cells, I can only do my best to minimize the risks. If unforeseen circumstances arise that lead to casualties, you must understand."

"This is a great but extremely risky experiment. Casualties among the Uchiha clan may be unavoidable. Don't come after me then."

Tobirama Senju spoke with great enthusiasm, giving Uchiha Nan a heads-up beforehand.

If the experiment goes wrong and some Uchiha clansmen are killed, Uchiha Nan might keep causing trouble for him.

"I see."

Uchiha Nan nodded. Sometimes, accidents during experiments are indeed unavoidable. If there were any casualties among the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Nan could only mourn for them and give them a proper burial.

I will take care of your wife and children, so you don't need to worry.

Uchiha Nan will take good care of his entire family.

"Write down your personnel requirements for me later, and I'll arrange for them to be sent over in a few days."

Uchiha Nan agreed to Senju Tobirama's request, and Senju Tobirama was visibly delighted. The fact that the experiment could achieve a further breakthrough was one of the few things that made him happy.

"Tobirama, I have come here today for another extremely important matter, which concerns the safety of Konoha and even the entire ninja world."

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Nan decided to reveal some of the deepest secrets of the ninja world to Senju Tobirama. Uchiha Madara was putting too much pressure on himself, and the feeling of keeping it bottled up inside was too unbearable if he didn't vent it.

Among all the people in Konoha, only Tobirama Senju is the most suitable to confide in, and also has the ability to offer advice.

Chapter 116 Uchiha Nan: Senju Tobirama, don't you want to unify the ninja world?

Uchiha Nan spoke with a solemn expression, and the words "Konoha" and "the entire ninja world" made Senju Tobirama's heart tremble. Could it be that Uchiha Nan was about to have a breakdown?

Everything in Konoha is stable and improving right now.

As long as I work together with Uchiha Nan, within ten years, even if the other four great ninja villages join forces to attack Konoha, they will no longer be a match for Konoha. It won't be as frustrating as the First Shinobi World War.

Back then, Madara Uchiha left Konoha inexplicably when everything was thriving. When he returned, he brought the Nine-Tails and wanted to fight his brother to the death. He must have lost his mind.

"What happened?"

Tobirama Senju's tone became cautious. With Madara Uchiha, a former offender, as a precedent, Tobirama Senju felt he needed to soften his tone and avoid provoking Nan Uchiha.

Uchiha Nan's prestige in Konoha is terrifyingly high right now. Even if I showed myself, I couldn't suppress him. If Uchiha Nan had a mental breakdown and led Konoha into the abyss, then everything would be over.

"Perhaps the spirits of the Uchiha have returned."

Tobirama Senju frowned deeply. The spirit of the Uchiha?

Uchiha Nan, why have you become such a riddle teller? Can't you just say what you mean?

What are the spirits of the Uchiha afraid of? I am the spirit of the Senju!

"Madara Uchiha may not be dead."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!"

As soon as Uchiha Nan finished speaking, Senju Tobirama, like a startled rabbit, shouted that it was impossible.

"I personally disposed of Madara Uchiha's body back then, I personally used his body to study the secrets of the Sharingan, and I personally buried his body in the back mountains of Konoha!"

Excitedly, Tobirama Senju revealed the secret he had kept hidden in his heart. It seems that the shadow left by Madara Uchiha on Tobirama Senju was no ordinary one.

It is likely that after Izuna Uchiha's death, Madara Uchiha ambushed Tobirama Senju more than once, trying to kill him to avenge his younger brother Izuna Uchiha, but without exception, he failed.

"Tobirama, calm down. I'm not even as nervous as you. You're a dead man, why are you so agitated? You're not afraid of Madara Uchiha, are you?"

"How can it be!"

"You think I'm afraid of Madara Uchiha?"

"It's just that what you're saying is too far-fetched. I personally examined Madara Uchiha's body, and I buried him in the back mountain. I remember every detail clearly."

Tobirama Senju immediately denied it. How could he be afraid of Madara Uchiha? Even if he were a little bit afraid, everyone was dead now, what was there for him to be afraid of? Did Madara Uchiha think he could make him die again?

"Heh, Tobirama was wrong about this. Back then, Madara Uchiha knew that you wouldn't dispose of his body and would secretly use it to study the Sharingan, which is why he dared to fake his death so confidently."

"What do you mean by this? Madara Uchiha faked his death?"

"You don't think I can't tell the difference between the living and the dead, do you?"

Tobirama Senju snorted coldly, thinking that Uchiha Nan just wanted to use that dead ghost Uchiha Madara to make fun of him tonight.

He's truly a born evil Uchiha brat!

"Tobirama, resent that you don't have the Sharingan!"

"You still underestimate the power of the Sharingan!"

Uchiha Nan revealed a contemptuous smile. "What do you, an old man who appeared so early, know about the settings that Kishimoto added to the Uchiha clan later on?"

Hmm. This sounds so familiar... I just remembered that Uchiha Izuna said the same thing!

"Hmph, so what if it's the Sharingan?"

"My elder brother defeated Madara Uchiha, and I killed Izuna Uchiha. Both of them were Mangekyou Sharingan users. The Sharingan isn't as powerful as you boast."

Tobirama Senju immediately retorted to Nanami Uchiha, stating that every Uchiha had an almost pathological worship of the Sharingan.

Pshaw. The Sharingan can greatly enhance perception and dynamic vision, copy ninjutsu and taijutsu, and greatly amplify genjutsu. Awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan can also awaken two powerful dojutsu, and even allow the use of Susanoo, attacking in giant form. Aaaaaah!!!

Aside from these benefits, what is the Sharingan of your Uchiha clan worth?

"Tobirama, you're not an Uchiha, you wouldn't understand the power of the Sharingan, especially the Mangekyou Sharingan. When used, it's simply..."

Uchiha Nan glanced at Senju Tobirama with disdain. This old man Tobirama clearly said the Sharingan was trash because he never used it. If he were to have a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan installed in his eyes, he would use them more frequently than anyone else.

"Let me tell you, the Mangekyou Sharingan can place techniques in the eyes at a time difference, and it will be activated automatically at a specific time."

"So what? Does your Uchiha clan possess the technique to bring people back to life?"

Tobirama Senju looked disdainful. It was truly unbelievable that the Mangekyou Sharingan possessed this ability. However, no matter how envious he was, he couldn't show it.

"That's right, our Uchiha clan really does have them!"

"Nani?"

Tobirama Senju looked surprised. The Uchiha clan actually had such a technique?

"That is a forbidden technique belonging to the Uchiha clan. Over the long years, the Uchiha clan once experienced an unprecedented civil war. At that time, the Uchiha clan developed a technique that can be described as a miracle, called Izanagi."

"Izanagi is a forbidden technique that can change fate. It can transform things that are unfavorable to the caster into dreams for a certain period of time. However, the price of performing the technique is very high, requiring the sacrifice of the sight of one eye."

"Back then, the Uchiha clan was obsessed with this forbidden technique, and ambitious individuals rose up one after another. You should understand the atmosphere of the Uchiha clan... cough cough, in short, the clan was constantly fighting amongst themselves."

Uchiha Nan didn't want to say much about this. Every member of the Uchiha clan is a stubborn fighter. Unless you subdue them with force, they won't listen to your commands.

Izanagi is a technique for creating chaos. An Uchiha who learns Izanagi has up to three lives. In a battle between experts, the outcome can be decided in a few breaths. The Uchiha have two extra lives. You think you've killed me? I can appear in your back and stab you in the next second.

The result is that the Uchiha clan members who learned Izanagi all acted like they were the most important people in the world.

"and after?"

Tobirama Senju listened with great interest. This was an absolute secret of the Uchiha clan, a scandal within the family, and outsiders had no chance of knowing about it.

"Later, an Uchiha developed another forbidden technique, Izanami, which saved the Uchiha clan from internal strife."

"The function of the forbidden technique Izanami is... Why are you silent? Keep talking!"

Tobirama Senju was filled with curiosity, very interested in the Uchiha clan's secret forbidden techniques. He wanted to learn about them first, then study them further, and finally find a way to break them, then find an opportunity to pass them on to the Senju clan.

"Tobirama, you're so curious, you wouldn't happen to want to break this forbidden technique and invent a corresponding ninjutsu to counter the Uchiha, would you?"

Uchiha Nan stared at Senju Tobirama and immediately saw through his little scheme. Truly, a leopard can't change its spots. Even now, he was still thinking of betraying the Uchiha clan.

"No way. Hahaha. No way, I was just curious."

Tobirama Senju feigned innocence, waving his hands repeatedly. Then, Uchiha Nan looked at Tobirama and said, "From that time on, the forbidden techniques Izanami and Izanagi were completely sealed away by the Uchiha clan. Only the successive clan heads could know about them. The clan head back then was Uchiha Madara. If Uchiha Izuna had learned these forbidden techniques, you would have been the one to die."

Uchiha Nan chuckled sinisterly. Tobirama Senju had always been proud of single-handedly killing Izuna Uchiha, who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan. Kishimoto's plot devices mostly involved plot-driven deaths, and Izuna Uchiha was killed before he even had a chance to use his Mangekyou Sharingan. His death was too hasty. I wonder what Tobirama Senju is thinking right now.

"Tch, there are no 'what ifs' in this world. I'm the one who survived the battlefield. Uchiha Izuna is a loser in front of me."

Tobirama Senju saw things very clearly. There are no "what ifs" on the battlefield. Winning means life, losing means death. He, Tobirama Senju, survived, so he was the victor.

However, the Izanagi of the Uchiha clan is truly incredible, distorting reality, turning falsehood into truth, and even reversing life and death. Wait a minute. If that's the case, doesn't it mean that Madara Uchiha might actually not be dead?

They are currently secretly watching Konoha from somewhere in the ninja world.

Oh no, oh no! Is something terrible about to happen to Konoha?

"So, according to you, Madara Uchiha really isn't dead!"

"It's over!!"

Tobirama Senju was filled with remorse. How could he have been so foolish as to leave Madara Uchiha's body behind instead of burning it?

Without his elder brother, who else in Konoha could defeat Madara Uchiha?

"Has Madara Uchiha already infiltrated Konoha?"

Tobirama Senju looked anxious. He knew Madara Uchiha's power very well. If Madara Uchiha went on a killing spree in Konoha, no one in the entire village would be able to stop him.

"It's possible, but I can't be sure."

Uchiha Nan wasn't sure whether Uchiha Madara had actually infiltrated Konoha at this point. To conclude that Madara had given up on awakening the Rinnegan and returned to Konoha based solely on his speculation about the system's mission was far too arbitrary.

"Whether he infiltrated Konoha or not is no longer important. Madara Uchiha is a ticking time bomb for Konoha as long as he's alive; he could blow Konoha to pieces at any moment."

"Madara Uchiha clearly had the opportunity to kill his elder brother using Izanagi, yet he chose to fake his death to escape. This simply doesn't make sense."
