The Naruto fan war has given the Uchiha clan a huge shock.

Chapter 436 What to do if there are too few female ninjas?

[Please provide the timeline of the First Five Kage Summit] Hashirama Senju makes a wish.

"Resurrect Uchiha Madara."

[Hashirama Senju confirms the timeline of the First Five Kage Summit and makes a wish: "To resurrect Madara Uchiha."]

Madara Uchiha, who had only been dead for a short time, was furious to find himself resurrected by Hashirama. He punched the face of Hashirama Senju right in front of him!

In this timeline, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju return to Konoha after the First Five Kage Summit. Through the "bullet comments" from the all-knowing gods, they learn that Madara Uchiha is still alive. They also learn about the thousand-year-old feud between the Uchiha and Senju clans, and the conspiracy hidden behind the ninja world.

After the Ninja World's Strongest Singer Contest, Tobirama Senju made three wishes:

First, make the silly older brother a little more serious.

Because of his first wish, Hashirama made his second and third wishes to Tobirama.

Second, let Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha have a proper talk in an absolutely still and independent space.

3. Eliminate the Black Zetsu.

Therefore, in that absolutely still, enclosed space where even Tobirama Senju could not see or interfere, everything that happened between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha became a secret unknown to anyone.

In reality, within that absolutely still, enclosed space, Hashirama actively used his own chakra and Sage Mode to help Madara break through the limits of his bloodline and awaken the legendary Rinnegan.

Then, following their encounter in the Valley of the End, the two began their second round of competition with renewed vigor.

This battle surpassed all previous records.

The power of Sage Mode and the Rinnegan clashed violently, seemingly tearing space itself apart.

Ultimately, the two world-destroying forces annihilated each other upon their convergence.

All that remained were the devastated land and rivers, and a lose-lose situation.

Madara Uchiha was critically injured and on the verge of death, having lost an arm and both legs. The remains of his Susanoo, like armor, barely supported his shattered body.

Hashirama Senju paid an even more severe price, losing almost half his body and his life.

After defeating Hashirama, Madara used his remaining chakra to create the limbs of Susanoo, supporting his faltering will and body. He remained vigilant, waiting for the stab from behind in his memory to repeat itself.

However, this time, Hashirama Senju was truly defeated.

Ecstasy swept in like a surging tide, only to recede just as quickly—

When Madara finally achieved his lifelong obsession of "defeating Hashirama," he suddenly felt that everything before him was desolate.

Victory brings not fulfillment, but boundless emptiness.

Standing amidst the silent ruins he had won, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into Hashirama Senju's trap once again—

-

Unlike Madara Uchiha in the "Valley of the End Original Timeline," after defeating Hashirama, whether he took over Konoha or continued to wander the ninja world and experience it with a different mindset, he could live out the rest of his life as he wished.

but----

The only way to leave this absolutely still and undisturbed space is what Hashirama Senju believed they could do.

Now that Hashirama is dead, this place has become an eternal prison.

In this timeline, Madara Uchiha, after winning everything, also lost everything.

Like Kaguya sealed in Tsukuyomi, he was forever trapped here by his own victory and nothingness.

There is no concept of time or space here.

No matter how much time passes, it's just a blink of an eye in this space. Even with the Rinnegan, he can never leave this space governed by the laws of bullet screens.

Therefore, he ultimately and decisively chose "the heretical path of reincarnation and rebirth".

Like Pain in another timeline, he used his last chakra to revive Hashirama.

Hashirama Senju calmly opened his eyes and saw Madara Uchiha, who was lying on the ground not far away, almost lifeless, his Susanoo completely dissipated, like a withered leaf.

He was serious; there was no surprise in his eyes, only a calm and knowing look.

"This time," Hashirama asked softly, "who do we consider the winner?"

Ban's breathing was as faint as a whisper, yet he still managed a defiant smile: "—You win, don't you?"

"No." Hashirama slowly shook his head, his gaze clear as a mirror. "In this battle, there's no doubt you won. I didn't back down an inch." He paused, then asked the question he truly wanted to ask: "Now, can you resolve your inner conflict?"

Knowing that Infinite Tsukuyomi was a deceptive trick, he believed that Madara would no longer be obsessed with it.

Besides that, the only remaining wish is to overcome oneself.

Upon hearing Hashirama's question, Madara remained silent for a long time, so long that one might almost think he had left without a word.

Finally, a faint yet enlightened smile truly bloomed on his lips.

"Then, we—"

He didn't finish answering Hashirama's question, but instead, a smile appeared on his face that Hashirama Senju remembered from his childhood.

Just like that scene at the Valley of the End many years ago, Madara Uchiha closed his eyes under the watchful gaze of Hashirama Senju.

This time, he had no regrets, nor any unfulfilled obsessions.

"Now you owe me a wish, Madara."

Hashirama's last words were probably not heard by the deceased Madara Uchiha.

After that, Hashirama Senju returned to the ninja world from this special space, but did not immediately return to Konoha. He believed that it would be fine to let Tobirama hold on for a few more days.

Since the "Strongest Songstress in the Ninja World" incident, the ninja world has experienced several rounds of discussions.

The timeframe was short; including the distribution of rewards, it only lasted a few days in total.

Until the bullet screen alerted:

Please make a wish based on the timeline of the First Five Kage Summit.

Hashirama Senju sat as still as a rock atop his own stone statue in the Valley of the End.

Hearing the sound of the barrage of comments, he slowly stood up. The mountain wind billowed his robes, but his eyes held an unwavering determination.

My wish is...

A sharp, bright smile curved his lips, and his voice cut through the wind, clear and powerful: "Resurrect Uchiha Madara."

[“Confirming the Timeline of the First Five Kage Summit: Hashirama Senju Makes a Wish”]

"Resurrect Uchiha Madara."

Madara Uchiha's consciousness, which had just been dormant, was forcibly pulled back to the present world. He opened his eyes and saw Hashirama Senju's calm and solemn face, without the slightest hint of a smile.

The brief moment of enlightenment and peace before death was instantly shattered by this absurd "resurrection"!

"Hashirama Senju!" he roared.

All the questions and anger were concentrated in his fist, which he slammed down hard towards that face that seemed to control everything!

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the fist was firmly intercepted.

Stripped of his optimism, friendliness, and many other emotional traits, Hashirama Senju caught Madara Uchiha's furious attack with his bare hands. His knuckles were as steady as a rock, and his eyes were devoid of any emotion, only a bottomless darkness.

"If you have nothing else you want to do," he said, his voice calm and devoid of any warmth, "then come and help me, Madara."

"I thought you would change, but you're still so naive?! Hashirama!!"

Hashirama Senju raised his eyes, his dark pupils silently meeting Madara's Sharingan.

"We've already fought that, there's no point in repeating it." His statement was flat and even. "Since you can't find anything you want to do, why don't you join me in building this ninja world?"

"you----"

Before Ban had even finished speaking, a clear, firm, and unquestionable will had already penetrated directly into his heart through their clashing fists.

Unlike the optimistic Hashirama Senju of the past, this "serious" Hashirama before us, stripped of his emotional burdens, seemed...

The Buddha fully revealed the domineering aura hidden deep within his bloodline.

He was no longer confined to the narrow perspective of "one village, one country," and his vision and ambition surprisingly aligned with those of Madara Uchiha.

What he wants is to bring the entire ninja world under his protection!

Madara saw Hashirama Senju's thoughts, determination, plans, and blueprint.

There was no compromise, no detours, no naive expectation of "mutual understanding," only absolute order, unquestionable control, and the will to completely eliminate all unstable factors.

A hint of surprise flickered in Madara's eyes.

Although the details may differ, in general, these all coincide with what he thought before he left Konoha.

Thus, the most fundamental political difference between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju was completely eliminated.

All it takes is for Uchiha to dote on his head, and the two of them will be able to walk the same path and make the entire ninja world submit to them.

"That Tobirama Senju guy must be regretting making that wish already."

Madara Uchiha discovered the reason for Hashirama's change from his memories. After chuckling, he looked at Hashirama with a serious expression.

Hashirama Senju:

Madara Uchiha: "————"

The two stood silently, gazing at each other for a long time. Then, the unwavering will in Madara Uchiha's eyes, like a drawn blade, pierced straight into Hashirama's eyes: "I won. So, it should be you who cooperates with me."

Hashirama Senju did not look away. He saw clearly the unprecedented, utterly burning stubbornness in Madara's eyes—this time, there was absolutely no room for negotiation.

The silence froze for a moment.

Then, Hashirama's lips slowly twitched, revealing the first genuine smile since their reunion. That smile lacked his usual gentleness; instead, it carried an almost sharp, acknowledgment of a worthy opponent.

"What a fine word! Its impact is like the clash of metal and stone."

Tobirama Senju, who was far away in Konoha helping his brother guard the village, had his right eyelid twitching.

"I have a bad feeling about this—"

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, whose image shifted from a "villain" to the original style in the limited Tsukuyomi timeline, pondered for a long time, his gaze sweeping over his younger brother beside him.

"Tobirama, what is your wish?"

"No," Tobirama Senju replied calmly.

Hashirama then turned to the Uchiha brothers, whose styles were very different.

"Where's the spotted one?"

Uchiha Chara Madara was fiddling with his side bangs, which he had grown out specifically to look cool, and was giving a flirtatious look to the beautiful female ninja not far away.

When he heard Hashirama call his name, Charaban looked up.

Hashirama asked gently, "Do you and Izuna have any wishes you'd like to fulfill?"

Charaban and his brother exchanged a glance and shrugged.

"We are now in the filthy world," Charaban said in a light but detached tone. "When we've had our fun, we'll return to the Pure Land. We have no desires that need to be tied to the karma of this world."

"Then resurrect the two of you?" Hashirama pressed earnestly.

Charaban sighed softly, his smile carrying a knowing indifference: "Let it go."

Chara Izuna smiled and chimed in, "Yes, I don't plan to be resurrected either."

The two paused for a moment, then suddenly began to sing in unison, their tone tinged with a mixture of teasing and resignation: "Let the 'little cats' of this era be left for our descendants to play with."

"Yes, my brother's and my best friends are all waiting for us in this peaceful place. After enjoying the peaceful scenery here, it's time to go back and be with them."

The ninjas of the Chara Uchiha clan are practically trying to build a memorial arch for their ancestors, shouting "Our ancestors' righteousness!"

"I! I have a wish!"

The lecherous Neji suddenly raised his arm, his eyes wide with anticipation, and interjected, "Could you make sure all the female ninjas stop wearing bras?"

"Veto!" Tobirama Senju's face instantly darkened. He pointed at the young master of the Hyuga clan and shouted angrily, "Besides, you possess the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan! Making this wish is meaningless!"

Uchiha Chara Sasuke slowly raised his hand, his tone languid yet serious: "Then—could we adjust the gender ratio in the ninja world? The current standard team configuration of 'two men and one woman' is far too unfriendly to male ninjas."

His words immediately garnered unanimous agreement from many male ninjas.

"Yeah! Why is it that every team has two men and one woman?! It's not an even distribution at all."

"Think about how the one who's left behind feels!"

"If another squad comes and steals our team's girls, won't the two of us male ninjas be forced to maintain our 'Konoha-style friendship'?"

as well as----

Under the constant influence of bullet comments, the thoughts of some male and female ninjas began to subtly shift.

The "awakening" of those "gods" also affected the male ninjas in the ninja world. "And it's always us male ninjas covering the rear. Have you even considered the casualty rate and the casualty ratio?"

"I want to ask why female ninjas are always given priority for relatively safe positions?"

"We protect the village, but who will protect our chance to start a family?!"

"Either change the configuration, or change the division of labor. We need fairness!!!"

These ideas were not put forward by the vast majority of male ninjas in the ninja world, but the male ninjas who "awakened" to their consciousness, influenced by the barrage of comments, believed that the ninja world's long-standing traditions were extremely unfair!

In their anger, their voices drowned out those of the group with other ideas.

all in all----

The ninjas each had their own reasons for agreeing with Uchiha Chara Sasuke's wish.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, acting as the devil, coldly retorted: "This formation is precisely to encourage male ninjas to maintain their competitive spirit and strive for excellence!! What exactly are you dissatisfied with?!"

Just then, a male ninja shouted, "Reject the competition!!"

Immediately, another clear female voice rang out: "Wouldn't that make female ninjas just tools to motivate them?" Several young female ninjas stepped forward from the crowd.

Their expressions were resolute, and their eyes gleamed with a light rarely seen before.

Watching the comments posted by certain "gods" for a long time, especially their remarks about "independence" and "awakening," has unknowingly ignited a spark in their hearts.

After all, they are a special group where even Madara Uchiha was labeled as an "independent female protagonist".

Although the vast majority of female ninjas thought these claims were pure nonsense, some were brainwashed by this ideology. And for some reason, these female ninjas were often louder and more skilled than other women.

Types of arguments.

"We cannot accept this objectification!" A female ninja clenched her fists, her voice trembling slightly, as if she had suffered a tremendous injustice. "Female ninjas are not 'backdrops' or 'rewards' to highlight men and inspire their fighting spirit!"

"We deserve far more attention than we do now!"

"Our needs should be met!"

The male ninjas who had previously "awakened" were naturally not to be outdone, and the two sides quickly ignited a war, which was even more chaotic than the original Fourth Shinobi World War, creating a scene of utter chaos.

Senju Tobirama's eyes twitched uncontrollably. Caught between the two sides, a mixture of displeasure and irritation slowly accumulated and intensified in his heart.

Amidst the rising tide of criticism, he suddenly snorted, covered his lower lip, turned to Hashirama Senju beside him, and spoke with a clear sense of helplessness in his voice: "Brother, why don't we just grant that Uchiha junior's wish?"

Hashirama Senju was taken aback upon hearing this.

He glanced sideways at his younger brother: "Are you sure, Tobirama?"

Senju Tobirama remained expressionless, merely nodding slightly.

"Okay, let's do as they say."

Chara Sasuke's eyes lit up immediately!

Suddenly, even the cold, hard, and manly Second Hokage seemed more pleasing to the eye.

"All right."

Hashirama Senju nodded.

"My wish is to adjust the male-to-female ratio in the ninja world, so that there are more female ninjas."

"More?"

The barrage of comments asked him for the exact number.

Hashirama Senju thought that since a ninja squad consists of two men and one woman, the number of female ninjas should be at least doubled to achieve the desired ratio of two men and two women.

"Then...twice as many female ninjas as there are now?"

["Confirming Hashirama Senju's wish in the 'Limited Tsukuyomi Timeline'—"]

"Adjust the male-to-female ratio in the ninja world to double the number of female ninjas."

The instant the sound of the barrage of comments ended—
