Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

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 when everything was thriving, and 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-maker? 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 practically dead, why are you getting so agitated? You're not afraid of Madara Uchiha, are you?"

"How is that possible!"

"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 was a little bit afraid, now that everyone was dead, 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? Did Madara Uchiha fake 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, you must be resentful 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. Why does that sound so familiar? I just remembered that Uchiha Izuna said the same thing!

"Hmph, so what if you have Sharingan?"

"My 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 about."

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, greatly amplify genjutsu, and awaken two powerful dojutsu upon opening the Mangekyou Sharingan. It can even be used to attack in the form of a giant. 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 you use it, 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 specific time, and they will be activated automatically."

"So what? Does your Uchiha clan possess a technique that can bring the dead 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 some!"

"What?!"

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 this 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 members rose up one after another. You should understand the atmosphere within the Uchiha clan... cough cough, anyway, 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 then?"

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 Senju and said:

"From then on, the forbidden techniques Izanami and Izanagi were completely sealed away by the Uchiha clan. Only the successive clan heads knew about them. The clan head at the time was Uchiha Madara. If Uchiha Izuna had learned these forbidden techniques, you would have been the one to die."

Uchiha Nan chuckled sinisterly. Senju Tobirama had always been proud of single-handedly killing Uchiha Izuna, who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan. Kishimoto's plot devices mostly involved plot-driven deaths, and Uchiha Izuna was killed before he even had a chance to use his Mangekyou Sharingan. His death was too hasty. I wonder what Senju Tobirama 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, just by being alive, is a ticking time bomb for Konoha, capable of blowing the village up 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."

"My brother has been dead for so many years, and Madara Uchiha hasn't attacked Konoha. This shows that Madara Uchiha's target wasn't Konoha at all. What in the vast ninja world could make Madara Uchiha go to such lengths to plan? Could Madara Uchiha be planning to overthrow the entire world?"

"If it's Madara Uchiha, that possibility isn't out of the question. There's just too little information available right now."

Tobirama Senju quickly calmed down and began to analyze Madara Uchiha's motives. As expected of Tobirama Senju, he was able to analyze the general direction in such a short time.

"Tobirama, stop making wild guesses."

"I know Madara Uchiha's purpose."

"What? Speak up!"

"Madara Uchiha wants to bring complete peace to the ninja world!"

Uchiha Nan revealed Uchiha Madara's ultimate goal.

"The situation is already extremely urgent, and you, Uchiha Nan, still have the mind to joke around here? You are the Third Hokage of Konoha; the safety and future of Konoha are your primary responsibility!"

"If you don't want to be Hokage, just step down, and I can make a comeback!"

Enraged, Tobirama Senju roared at Uchiha Nan, clearly showing his desperation. He simply didn't believe that Madara Uchiha's goal was to bring peace to the entire ninja world.

If Madara Uchiha truly had such intentions, he shouldn't have left Konoha, and he shouldn't have engaged in a life-or-death duel with his elder brother. Madara Uchiha died in that battle, and Hashirama Senju wasn't much better off; he was severely injured and died not long after.

With the deaths of the two Optimus Primes, the ninja world descended into complete chaos, escalating from a chaotic battle into a major war that engulfed the entire ninja world.

In Tobirama Senju's view, Madara Uchiha was definitely responsible for the First Shinobi World War.

"Calm down, calm down, I'm just telling the truth."

"Uchiha Madara is just like Senju Hashirama, a pacifist who cares about the ninja world. If he could bring lasting peace to the ninja world, I believe Uchiha Madara would be willing to sacrifice himself without hesitation."

"The Uchiha are the clan that understands love the most, especially the Uchiha who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. However, Madara Uchiha's love was so great that it encompassed the entire ninja world."

However, Tobirama Senju dismissed this idea with disdain.

"If Madara Uchiha hadn't broken with his older brother and died one after the other after a great battle, the First Shinobi World War would never have happened, and so many people in the shinobi world wouldn't have died."

"so what?"

"Is it possible for Hashirama Senju to live forever?"

"Tobirama, you should know very well that when Hashirama Senju was alive, the shinobi world was already a powder keg. Everyone was waiting for the death of Hashirama Senju, the god of shinobi. The First Shinobi World War was bound to happen sooner or later."

Tobirama Senju was speechless; he naturally understood such a simple principle.

However, Tobirama Senju still couldn't understand why Madara Uchiha would suddenly defect and attack Konoha, and suddenly engage in a life-or-death battle with his older brother, even though everything was progressing in a positive direction.

"Tobirama, I know very well that Madara Uchiha's goal is for the entire ninja world. He wants to correct the mistakes he and Hashirama Senju made back then."

"What do you mean by 'hey, hey, feed you'?"

With a displeased expression, Tobirama Senju interrupted Uchiha Nan, saying, "Why are you bringing up the issue with your older brother again and again?"

"Hmph, Hashirama Senju bears the main responsibility for the state of the ninja world."

"Tobirama, you don't agree with the First Hokage's bullshit one-village-one-country system, do you?"

"No way, no way, Tobirama Senju, don't you want to unify the entire ninja world?"

Uchiha Nan stared intently at Senju Tobirama. It was one thing for Senju Hashirama to be a naive fool, but Uchiha Nan didn't believe that Senju Tobirama didn't have the ambition to unify the ninja world.
