Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

The Uchiha and Senju clans started from scratch and built a village below the high ground where Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju had their childhood date.

With the combined efforts of the two families, the village became increasingly prosperous. Later, it even received funding from the daimyo of the Land of Fire and took on the task of protecting the Land of Fire, and the village's development took off.

On the high ground

"How about calling the leader of the ninjas who protects the Land of Fire from the shadows the Hokage?"

Hashirama Senju stood on a high place, looking down at the village below, and then spoke to Madara Uchiha.

"The Land of Fire has asked us to elect a representative from our village, and I would like you to serve as Hokage."

Hashirama Senju extended an invitation to Madara Uchiha to become Hokage.

"Although your brothers are all gone, I hope you will treat all the ninjas in the village as your own brothers, and I hope you can protect them."

"I couldn't even protect Hashirama's own brothers, you're more suited to be Hokage."

Madara Uchiha declined Hashirama Senju's invitation and voluntarily relinquished the position of First Hokage to Hashirama Senju.

"."

"It's about time we named the village. Any suggestions?"

"How about we call it Konoha Village?"

"."

The film's simple plot reveals a wealth of information, information that is absolutely confidential to the Konoha leadership.

The name Konoha was actually given by Madara Uchiha. Madara Uchiha voluntarily relinquished the position of Konoha's first Hokage to Hashirama Senju.

What a noble sentiment it is for a man to bear his sorrow alone without coveting power.

The villagers knew very little about Madara Uchiha's past, only that he was a powerful Uchiha ninja who left Konoha for some unknown reason.

I never imagined that Madara Uchiha's life was so tragic yet magnificent, and that he possessed such a noble character.

"Lord Ban, you are truly a role model for us all."

"How could such a ninja defect from Konoha? Could he really be the Second Hokage?"

"Shh! Shh! Shh! Why are you still talking? You're really courting death!"

In an instant, people's feelings towards Uchiha Madara changed from pity to admiration.

Tobirama Senju was no longer just gritting his teeth; his face was flushed red with anger!

You, you, you... Praise Uchiha Madara if you want, but why drag me into it? Madara's departure from Konoha was clearly due to his mental breakdown, it has nothing to do with me!

Tobirama Senju glared angrily, his eyes fixed on the direction of the sound, where the Uchiha clan crest came into view.

It's the Uchiha clan. That's not surprising then, no wonder they're badmouthing me like that.

You idiot, you dog!

They truly are born evil Uchiha!

I'll execute you on the spot right now, and see if you dare to spout nonsense again!

Uchiha Nan realized that Tobirama Senju, the old man, had lost his temper while watching the movie, so he directly formed hand seals and took control of Tobirama's body, forcing him to stay obediently in his chair and continue watching the movie.

"Tobirama, what are you angry about?"

"It's just some jokes from the kids in the clan. The innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty. Everyone knows perfectly well whether you've been ostracizing Uchiha Madara."

"A person with an upright character has nothing to fear."

You're riding a horse!

Tobirama Senju was so angry at Uchiha Nan that he was speechless.

Of course, I would 100% exclude Uchiha Madara!

Madara Uchiha's departure from Konoha had absolutely nothing to do with me. There was a little bit of it, but it was definitely not the main reason!

Slander!

This is blatant slander!

Once this rumor gets out, his impeccable image will be completely ruined. Public opinion is a fearsome thing.

Uchiha Nan showed a "kind" expression, making Senju Tobirama wish he could punch Uchiha Nan right then and there.

You evil old devil with a thousand hands, you'd better eat the bitter fruit of the seeds you sowed back then.

This is what they call retribution!

As the Hokage, Uchiha Kusanagi was of impeccable lineage, coming from one of Konoha's two original shareholder families, but even among the red-clad, there were blemishes.

Madara Uchiha, one of the founding shareholders of the Uchiha clan, directly defected from Konoha. Regardless of the reasons, the fact that he defected is undeniable, and this stain must be cleared.

What's the point of making a movie if you don't include some personal agenda?

Hmph, at least I still gave Tobirama Senju some face.

Otherwise, they would have simply filmed the scene from the original anime where Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju had that supposed Hokage election conversation.

On that day, Tobirama Senju directly rejected Hashirama Senju's decision to make Madara Uchiha the Hokage.

They even went so far as to say that the final selection would depend on the opinions of the people of the Land of Fire and the villagers, and would be decided after communicating with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

When it came to his own turn, things were different. The position of Third Hokage was passed on to Hiruzen Sarutobi with a single word, and the selection of the Hokage was then decided privately.

Uchiha Nan was far more ethical than Senju Tobirama. If a Hokage election had actually been held, any Konoha ninja aspiring to become Hokage could step forward and engage in one-on-one battles; the strongest would become Hokage. If this had been filmed, Tobirama Senju's reputation would have been ruined. Despite dedicating his life to Konoha and being buried as a hero, human nature is unpredictable. A good person who does good deeds throughout their life can be condemned by everyone for a single bad deed.

Uchiha Nan felt that he was still kind-hearted. Although Tobirama Senju was not human, ostracized the Uchiha, and discriminated against him racially, he was still a generous person and always protected Tobirama Senju's reputation!

Of course, I also have a little selfish motive. If I push Tobirama Senju too far, he might actually go on strike.

The development of Konoha ultimately cannot be separated from Tobirama Senju, that incredibly hardworking and dedicated worker.

The sun shines brightly

Wearing the Hokage's robes with the words "First Hokage" embroidered on the back, Hashirama Senju announced the founding of Konoha in front of all the villagers and officially took office as the First Hokage.

This concludes the film!

"Is this the end?"

"Why hasn't anyone explained why Lord Uchiha Madara left Konoha?"

"Of course! It must have been Tobirama Senju who forced him. The First Hokage personally promised Madara Uchiha that he would make him Hokage, but what happened then?"

"Tobirama Senju became Hokage, and Madara Uchiha left Konoha!"

"Holy crap, is this for real? It's you again! Why are you still talking? Are you out of your mind?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm an Uchiha!"

"Oh, oh, oh (long trembling sound). No wonder the Third Hokage's clansmen are so brave! Is it true or false that the First Hokage promised Madara Uchiha that he would become the Second Hokage?"

"Of course it's true. That's what the elders in the family all say."

"So this is what the Second Hokage is really like."

"."

Hearing these words, Tobirama Senju turned ashen with anger. Who was this Uchiha? Why was he still slandering him?

What nonsense are you spouting?

However, with Uchiha Nan present, Tobirama Senju was firmly controlled by Uchiha Nan and could only sit in a chair, staring fiercely at the Uchiha clansman.

After the movie ended, Uchiha Nan led Senju Tobirama out of the theater. Tobirama took a few deep breaths of fresh air to calm himself down.

"You bastard, did you make this movie on purpose to smear me?!"

Tobirama Senju glared at Uchiha Nan, finding it hard to believe that Uchiha Nan didn't have such thoughts.

The best way to erase the influence of the previous Hokage is naturally to smear him. Once a person's reputation is ruined, the legacy will naturally fade away.

"How can it be!"

"How could I possibly have such thoughts?"

Did the entire movie contain a single line that slandered you?

Uchiha Nan spoke with great conviction, but he did not intentionally smear Senju Tobirama; he merely made Uchiha Madara's image appear lofty and majestic in the hearts of the people of Konoha.

Moreover, Uchiha Nan did not fabricate anything; everything was true.

Just like in the movie, Madara Uchiha suppressed his desire to kill Tobirama Senju and swallowed the pain of Tobirama killing his younger brother Izuna Uchiha, all for the sake of the promise he made with Hashirama Senju when they were children, and so that the children of the Uchiha and Senju clans could no longer kill each other and could live a peaceful life.

"It seems not yet."

Tobirama Senju tried hard to recall the plot of the movie, hoping to find evidence that Uchiha Nan had deliberately slandered him, but he came up empty-handed and stammered that he couldn't prove it.

However, Tobirama Senju was a smart man and quickly realized Uchiha Nan's sinister intentions.

"You're praising Madara Uchiha and then using this opportunity to smear me!"

Uchiha Nan sneered, then said:

"Hmph, Tobirama! Madara Uchiha's deeds were just like those depicted in the movies. You should look for the reasons within yourself when you're being unfairly maligned."

"Didn't you object to Madara Uchiha becoming the Second Hokage?"

"Don't you know how you became the Second Hokage?"

Tobirama Senju was speechless. If Madara Uchiha became the Second Hokage, he would definitely oppose it to the end!

However, Tobirama Senju still wanted to be stubborn and said defiantly:

"I, the Second Hokage, was elected through a legitimate election by all of Konoha, unlike you who usurped the position!"

Uchiha Nan was almost laughing in exasperation at Tobirama Senju. How dare Tobirama Senju bring up the Hokage election?

There were no procedural problems with his ascension to the position of Third Hokage. He genuinely won people over with virtue and successfully ascended to the position of Third Hokage through the Hokage Election!

"Tch, me, a usurper?"

"How dare you say such a thing? When you directly appointed that deadbeat Hiruzen Sarutobi as the Third Hokage, did you ever think about how you opposed Madara Uchiha becoming the Second Hokage?"

"I remember you always saying that the Hokage should be elected by the villagers of Konoha, right?"

"You broke the rules first! Your so-called dying wish is completely useless. At most, it would give Hiruzen Sarutobi a spot in the election for the next Hokage. It's not like I didn't give him that spot; he was just not skilled enough and I killed him."

"Still dare to bark like a dog?"
