Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Tobirama gazed at Fugaku and said softly:

"When the meeting ended, I found Yamato from the other dimension and asked him about some details."

"He said that another Itachi was taken to the battlefield by you when he was four years old. Later, he joined the Anbu and served as a double agent for both the Uchiha clan and the village. He became an Anbu squad leader at the age of thirteen..."

Fugaku's expression froze, and he subconsciously said:

"How could anyone bring such a young child to the battlefield! What a bastard..."

But despite saying that, the anger on Fugaku's face gradually turned into embarrassment, and his expression became somewhat unfocused.

Because you are the hardest to fool.

Initially, Fugaku also intended for his eldest son to grow into a pillar of the Uchiha clan as early as possible, planning to take him to the battlefield during the Third Shinobi World War...

However, Fugaku abandoned this idea after being reprimanded by Ichishin's high-intensity output and Aozumi's angry rebuke, and switched to a "free-range" educator... Itachi was entrusted to Aozumi's care, while Sasuke spent his days hanging out with ramen shoppers...

On the contrary, they have all grown quite well!

Tobirama stared at Fugaku.

Fugaku coughed lightly: "This...this big guy really helped me a lot..."

The other one, Rong, was certainly a beast.

But the other Fugaku was definitely not a good thing either…

He's the perfect example of someone who's indecisive and fickle.

One moment he wants to align himself with Konoha, the next he wants to rebel; he's in a state of intense internal conflict between his left and right hemispheres.

"Sigh, I wonder what Tobirama Senju would think if he knew about the other Itachi..."

Fugaku sighed and said with a wry smile:

"He might even burst out laughing, thinking that this is the kind of Uchiha he likes best..."

Tobirama was filled with questions.

Kid, what are you talking about?

If we go by stereotypes, what Fugaku said does indeed fit…

Because the other Itachi had, after all, wiped out the Uchiha clan.

But Tobirama didn't think that way.

On the contrary, what he feared most was an Uchiha like Itachi from another timeline!

He possesses the ability to get things done, but his mind is extremely unclear, and he has a twisted logic of his own making, making it almost impossible to predict his actions…

If a member of the Uchiha clan in the present day appeared, like Itachi from another timeline…

Then Tobirama will definitely keep a close watch on him and nip any signs of trouble in the bud to prevent it from affecting the development of the village and the Uchiha clan.

"That bastard Madara Uchiha impersonated me. His most ingenious move was using his past persona to insult himself, which even fooled me..."

A glint flashed in Tobirama's eyes.

Whether as the Senju or in this life as the Uchiha, he's actually quite good at "copying"...

This move is now his!

Whether it's Itachi, Fugaku, or that Second Hokage named Tobirama Senju...

Uchiha Aokiji is going to teach them a lesson today!

"That Tobirama Senju was a bastard too..."

"His policies towards the Uchiha clan have resulted in bitter consequences in another timeline!"

Fugaku nodded in agreement.

As expected of an Uchiha!

It's about objectivity...

Tobirama calmly said:

"Itachi, a visitor from another dimension has arrived today. In that other dimension, you slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan in one night, became a rogue ninja, and even coveted Sasuke's eyes..."

Itachi's little face scrunched up tightly, and he couldn't help but point to himself:

"Me...me? I killed my entire clan?"

"Brother Qingshui, Father, I didn't mean anything by it. How did I manage to do it? My biggest wish in this life is to become a member of the police department and work a nine-to-five job..."

"Father, Grandpa Isshin, Brother Aoshui, Teacher Tomie, Brother Obito, Brother Shisui..."

Itachi counted on his fingers, his face dazed: "Was it really me?"

Seeing Itachi's bewildered expression, both Fugaku and Tobirama were on the verge of losing their composure.

If Itachi is very strong, then the crimes he committed in the alternate dimension will seem even more serious here…

Because they do indeed possess the ability to do evil.

However, in Konoha today, Itachi is just a kid with decent talent.

The task of annihilating the Uchiha clan is indeed very difficult for them...

In Fugaku's view, only a master of the Hokage's caliber, or even Madara Uchiha in his prime, could possibly wipe out the Uchiha clan...

But it's impossible to do it in one night.

Because Flying Thunder God and Kamui are here, along with Tomie and Isshin's Kaleidoscope, which has a maximum margin for error.

Not to mention the current Uchiha with three tomoe, all of whom have passively activated Izanagi through the Transcription Seal. With the transplantation of Hashirama cells, their resurrection coins can still be restored...

"Um…"

This led Tobirama to think of a question.

That is, it's often said that the Uchiha clan is more likely to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan when subjected to strong emotional stimuli...

But when the Itachi from another dimension slaughtered the clan, not a single new pair of Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in the clan…

In contrast, look at the Uchiha here.

Strictly speaking, both Isshin and Fugaku awakened their kaleidoscopes for the purpose of "protection".

One reason was that Qingshui was overworked, and the other was the passing of a friend…

Even Tomie's kaleidoscope wasn't an excessive display of negative emotions; it was more about resentment at her own lack of strength...

As for Obito, although Hiruzen Sarutobi kept the reason for his awakening of his Sharingan a strict secret, since he was able to become a Shadow Guard and be trusted by his beloved student, Tobirama naturally believed that Obito was without fault...

"It seems that some of my previous ideas were biased."

"Kaleidoscope is about 'gaining love and then losing love,' but the most important thing is to give them 'love' first..."

"Love is the source of the Mangekyou Sharingan's power, and Hiruzen's Will of Fire gave them love, allowing the Uchiha to find a group they could love, so they wouldn't go to extremes because of temporary gains or losses..."

Uchiha Aokiji couldn't help but wonder how Tobirama Senju came up with such a terrible policy.

We really need to stir up some trouble for him on the ninja forums!

"Itachi, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, because apart from you, not many of the ninjas from the other dimension had good outcomes; to be precise, most of them died..."

"The Hokage has also given instructions on this matter, repeatedly emphasizing that it is a matter of another time and space, and has nothing to do with our Konoha and the Will of Fire."

Tobirama coughed lightly: "I called you here now, Itachi, just so you can learn from the mistakes of another timeline and avoid making the same mistakes yourself..." Upon hearing that the Hokage had made a serious severance, Itachi felt much more at ease.

No matter how obsessed his father was with practicing Magnet Release, he always held the Hokage in the highest esteem…

During the major accounting meeting, Fugaku was frequently seen sweating profusely behind his back…

What happened in that other timeline is terrifying.

The other one was also too pathetic and despairing.

And these tragedies, upon closer examination, were all changed because of the Hokage…

"I understand, Brother Qingshui."

Itachi nodded heavily: "I will definitely learn from this lesson and avoid repeating the same mistake!"

Tobirama nodded and began his analysis.

"This matter is actually very simple..."

"First, there's the issue of governing the Uchiha clan..."

"Due to Tobirama Senju's flawed policies in another timeline, the resentment in the village was deliberately directed towards the Uchiha clan, intentionally creating a division between them and other clans in Konoha."

"The Uchiha clan over there didn't put up an effective counterattack either. Instead, they were so engrossed in it that they allowed their strength to decline and they were left without allies until they were on their deathbed before they realized what was happening."

"In this situation, even if Konoha in another timeline is terrible, it still has certain advantages compared to the Uchiha, who are always indulging in past glories, resentful but powerless."

Tobirama looked at Fugaku:

"Then, adding you as a father..."

Fugaku quickly waved his hands, "It wasn't me, that wasn't me!"

"Oh..." Tobirama rolled his eyes.

If it weren't for his and Yixin's firm stance, it would have been you who got this time!

"And then there's Fugaku, who took Itachi to the battlefield when he was very young, forcing a child who didn't yet have enough experience and understanding to think like a Hokage..."

"The so-called Hokage should consider issues from a holistic perspective and not be influenced by too much emotion. Another example is Itachi, who followed this logic in a one-sided way, stripping himself of his identity as an 'Uchiha'."

"So when he killed his clansmen, he might not have thought of himself as an Uchiha, but rather as a defender of Konoha, eradicating those elements harmful to the Will of Fire..."

Tobirama whispered something chilling.

Fugaku and Itachi both fell silent.

But both father and son harbored a question in their hearts…

So, it seems that it's not wrong for the Hokage to think this way?

Tobirama keenly sensed this thought and couldn't help but feel that it was absolutely right for his beloved disciple Hiruzen to have him reincarnated as an Uchiha... These people needed him so much!

"As Hokage, you have to consider things from a holistic perspective, but love is not only about loving the whole, but also about loving every living person in it..." "The whole is made up of individuals."

"The overall interests are the sum of the interests of each individual. Only when both sides work together can the village continue to thrive in the long run by minimizing internal friction..."

"In another timeline, the actions of Itachi, Danzo, and others would fall into the category of 'lynching,' which would undoubtedly destroy the credibility of the entire village!"

"This is why our Hokage has been emphasizing 'institutionalization' and 'procedural justice,' and has been constantly fine-tuning the material manifestation of the Will of Fire..."

Tobirama spoke eloquently.

In Konoha, who is the most diligent person in researching the Will of Fire?

Many people will have different answers to this question…

Some people would say it's Hizashi, others would say it's Hiruko, or even Orochimaru.

But only Tobirama knew…

No one knows his beloved disciple's every word better than him!

When Hiruzen Sarutobi visited the research department, he once told Orochimaru, "A disciple need not be inferior to his master, nor a master necessarily more virtuous than his disciple. There is a sequence in learning the Way, and each has their own area of ​​expertise..."

Tobirama wholeheartedly agreed.

He really needs to learn from Hiruzen about the Will of Fire…

"If Danzo and Itachi from another timeline, along with that Hokage who shares the same name as Hiruzen, could so ambiguously and ruthlessly kill the Uchiha clan, what would the other ninja clans think?"

"Without protecting individual people, there can be no overall prosperity..."

"He's like another Itachi. He doesn't love Konoha at all, nor does he believe in the Will of Fire. He's just stubbornly using the Uchiha clan to satisfy his own self-pity..."

Tobirama's eyes were cold:

"He never considered that the annihilation of the Uchiha clan would actually cause even greater casualties for the village, and how would the external environment and internal chaos be quelled?"

"He just patted his ass and became a rogue ninja with a twisted sense of pleasure in his heart."

"He's a good-for-nothing, a lazy good-for-nothing..."

Tobirama's three tomoe slowly rotated. Although they weren't Mangekyou Sharingan, the power reflected within them surprised even Fugaku, who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan. "Being Hokage is a very tiring job."

"In reality, village affairs are full of contradictions and complexities, including the reconciliation of human emotions and nature, the entrenched internal forces and the balance of interests, and interference from external forces..."

"These are all things that must be considered. After taking everything into account, we can find the greatest common denominator among the best options and make a decision."

"Like another itachi"

"The 'Hokage mindset'? Don't make me laugh. Don't let the Hokage be stigmatized like that!"

At this point, Tobirama glanced at Itachi intently and said softly:

"Itachi, hasn't someone said that you, as Fugaku's son, only want to be a member of the Guard Corps, which seems a bit unambitious?" Itachi nodded subconsciously: "That's right..."

No, you are fine.

"Do what you can do first, then try to do what you want to do. Being down-to-earth is a good thing."

Tobirama said seriously.

Itachi laughed happily.

He really thought so…

After graduation, I'll try to get a government job, and then I can settle down and work a regular job for the rest of my life. That would be pretty good...

Hokage?

He really never even dreamed about it...

Because there were so many formidable obstacles standing in Itachi's way, he had a very clear self-awareness from a very young age, not to mention the astonishing talent of his younger brother Sasuke...

He inexplicably gained Sharingan while playing wildly outside and eating ramen every day...

Who can I complain to about this?

Itachi felt that his emotions were actually quite stable, and he was never jealous of his younger brother's talent.

His top priority now is to successfully graduate from Obito-sensei's tutelage...

Because Obito-sensei, the fair master of both Kamui, made a statement:

"The graduation requirements are different for every ninja academy student! Itachi, you are an Uchiha, so I must hold you to high standards and set an example for others... As for why he killed his entire clan..."

Tobirama gave a cold laugh: "Logically speaking, from the village's perspective, in Konoha like that, Itachi's job would be to quickly suppress the minority of radicals..."

"But at least we should leave a spark for Konoha, which is barely acceptable, because once the two sides clash, the damage to the Uchiha and the other Konoha will be maximized..."

Fugaku nodded subconsciously.

In fact, there is a precedent for this kind of operation in the ninja world, namely Nakamaro of Kirigakure.

They sacrificed their clansmen who had acted too recklessly. However, compared to the alternate dimension, they preserved the Kaguya clan's bloodline. Whether this was right or wrong is debatable, but it was certainly better than Itachi's decision to exterminate the Uchiha clan…

"But why didn't the other itachi do that?"

"Because he dares not."

Tobirama gave a cold laugh: "He might know that doing this is a better choice for the village and the Uchiha clan than wiping them out, but what about his family?"

"He killed his own clansmen like that, so other Uchiha who lost their loved ones would naturally want revenge, and their target would be his younger brother..."

"Therefore, to prevent his actions from fostering a stronger Uchiha, Itachi chose to eliminate them all to prevent anyone from retaliating against Sasuke. As the sole surviving member of the Uchiha clan, Konoha would be incredibly tolerant of Sasuke, even for things like betraying the village, they would try their best to forgive him."

"So, do you understand why the other Itachi did that, Fugaku…"

Fugaku listened, dumbfounded.

Qingshui understands the Uchiha clan way too well, doesn't he?

"In summary, he is a twisted madman who thinks he has the mindset of a Hokage, but is actually devoid of emotion and completely ignorant of the Will of Fire..."

"He acted out of self-righteous indignation, but in reality, he sacrificed his entire clan to protect and elevate his younger brother, bringing devastating disaster to the Uchiha clan and the village..."

"Even another Sasuke would have had his life ruined by this."

Tobirama said in a deep voice.

Just as Fugaku was about to say something, Tobirama gestured for him to shut up.

He hadn't finished cursing...

"The other Fugaku is also an idiot. No wonder he can give birth to such a madman."

"Taking such a young child to the battlefield, does he even have basic logic? He doesn't even understand what he's supposed to do, failing to resist when he should and being stubborn when he shouldn't..."

"He was indecisive and timid, and at the last moment he gave up the idea of ​​fighting, indulging in self-congratulatory sentimentality by letting Itachi take action..."

"Nausea!"

Tobirama slammed his fist on the table, angrily shouting, "Does the Uchiha clan belong to their family? The clan head doesn't take responsibility for the clan and the village; he just runs away!"

"Death isn't scary, living is hard. This father and son are like two maggots!"

Fugaku and Itachi exchanged a glance, and both of them unconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.

"And there's another Tobirama Senju from another timeline..."

"As Hokage, you can't even treat the Uchiha who joined the village fairly. What happened to the promise that we'd put aside our past grievances after joining Konoha? You're a useless piece of trash who can't even keep a promise!"

"If you're going to target them, then don't let the Uchiha join Konoha in the first place!"

"No wonder the clan leader fought against the first patriarch; he deserved this treatment for being treated unfairly!"

Tobirama was delivering a powerful and satisfying performance.

They copied Madara Uchiha's trick of insulting them to conceal their identity exactly, using the exact same method...

Is Tobirama Senju someone who would admit his mistakes?

Obviously not.

Therefore, from any perspective, Aokiji could not possibly be Tobirama.

This also reflects Tobirama's determination to sever ties with his previous account...

That size is really unacceptable; the pot is frighteningly large…

Let alone him, even Madara Uchiha couldn't carry him.

If Tobirama knew that even the Sage of Six Paths was starting to raise the bar and calling himself "Tobirama," he would probably be very glad that he made that decision so early on...

You're using him as a septic tank, aren't you!

She dumps all sorts of inexplicable things on herself...

Can you digest it?

Fugaku and Itachi listened with their heads down, reflecting seriously.

Qingshui came and even started cursing!

"Speaking of which..."

"It seems that the second-generation adults in our timeline..."

As Fugaku pondered, he discovered a blind spot.

It seems no different from another dimension?

But Itachi stubbornly raised his head at that moment and retorted, "Father, you can't say that! You must know that the Third Hokage was the Second Hokage's student..."

"There must be a reason why the Third Hokage respected the Second Hokage so much. You've only seen the surface. I believe the Third Hokage's fair treatment of the Uchiha clan was influenced by the Second Hokage in his early years..."

Tobirama was taken aback.

Oh my god...

Could Hiruzen's reputation actually improve his image a little?

To be honest, Tobirama had never thought of it that way...

He was also reflecting on the annihilation of the Uchiha clan by Itachi in another timeline, the emergence and control of the Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha in this timeline, and his time living among the Uchiha...

Tobirama discovered that his previous decisions were seriously flawed.

If Hiruzen hadn't mended the rift between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, a tragedy from another timeline might have unfolded in his own Konoha… perhaps not quite that drastic, but certainly not in a good way…

The Uchiha clan's potential needs to be properly unleashed using the Will of Fire, while their so-called extreme potential and ideas can be eliminated with love and fairness...

"ha?"

Fugaku looked at Itachi, grinding his teeth: "It's not you, kid..."

"The Third Hokage said that the Second Hokage possessed the Will of Fire... Father, do you mean that what the Hokage said was wrong? That's not what I learned at the Ninja Academy..."

Itachi tilted his head and asked, his face full of curiosity.

Fugaku's face darkened.

Good lad…

How did you learn this trick?!

However, Fugaku didn't dare to hit Itachi over this, because his son's classmates were all extraordinary individuals...

Yamato, raised by Mito, and Kabuto, Orochimaru's apprentice who served as Hokage's assistant.

Although Fugaku knew that the Hokage would definitely not blame him for this.

Even though he and everyone else in the alternate dimension were so abstract, Hiruzen Sarutobi, with his great character, still took the blame upon himself... But the more he did that, the more Fugaku had to appreciate it from the bottom of his heart. So even though everyone understood what Tobirama was doing just as clearly as a mirror, they still had to give Tobirama some damn respect out of respect for Hiruzen Sarutobi!

"This kid's got potential, no wonder I raised him from a young age..."

Tobirama felt a slight sense of satisfaction.

But what he found even more gratifying was that his beloved student had consistently defended him for ten years...

wrong…

To be objective, he finally made the next generation's evaluation of him a little fairer!

However, Tobirama himself couldn't say a word and had to look embarrassed.

This way, it can be hidden even more deeply...

"Let's not talk about the second generation..."

"Itachi, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'll tell you about what happened to the others..."

Tobirama recounted a grand collection of stories from another timeline of Konoha, a time when countless stars shone brightly, leaving Itachi completely bewildered. Even though his counterpart in that other timeline was also a standout…

But the others weren't much better off...

This made Itachi feel a little better.

"The other Yamato seems alright... Brother Aozumi, how's Kabuto?"

Itachi asked, somewhat unwillingly.

"He mingled with Orochimaru from another timeline, became a spy, and was betrayed by Danzo..."

Tobirama pondered:

"I don't know what will happen next. I can sense that their ninja world is in a period of intense conflict..." "If the dragon vein can be stabilized, the people and events there will quickly come to light, and we will be able to learn more information and valuable intelligence."

Fugaku's eyes lit up:

"Aoshui, from what I heard from the Hokage, we might be able to go over there to provide support..."

"I want to be in the first batch!"

A powerful magnetic field emanated from Fugaku, and the kaleidoscope patterns in his eyes shimmered like blood as he solemnly declared:

"Although it happened in another timeline, the Hokage has already given it a strict definition..."

"But this matter is weighing on my mind, and it really makes me uncomfortable!"

"Whether for the Will of Fire or for the Uchiha clan, I feel it's necessary for me to correct another Itachi's mistake and make him understand that making mistakes comes at a price..."

His own son is indeed innocent...

But Fugaku's hands were so itchy!

Moreover, his kaleidoscope "Takemikazuchi" was telling him in a mysterious way that Fugaku's somewhat idealistic Magnet Release might break through its current limitations when his thoughts were clear...

This is the best cutting method that Fugaku could make!

"support!"

The weasel raised his hand decisively.

He had to cut ties with his other self...

As for how his father would treat that bastard, Itachi didn't care...

I wish him all the best!

"That's definitely a good idea..."

"However, we still need to see how Orochimaru is progressing. After all, the Dragon Vein is mysterious... The best approach is to have Yamato and the others from the other dimension travel through it a few more times to verify its stability..."

Tobirama said softly:

"They are ultimately from outside the village."

"It would be even better if we could bring the alternate dimension Sasuke here and ask him again..."

Fugaku nodded unconsciously, thinking to himself:

"As expected of the Second Hokage's bloodline, although the kind-hearted Uchiha lineage tempered it and seriously criticized that one, sometimes when he speaks, his words still have that authentic flavor..."

But Fugaku did not dislike Aoisui in this respect.

Because Aokiji is undoubtedly an Uchiha with the Will of Fire…

Besides the light of the Hokage, the village also needs shadows to exist.

"Another weasel..."

Fugaku gazed into the distance, as if he could see into another dimension, and his eyes sharpened.

You'd better hope you don't see me!

On the other side of the leaf.

The Minato family's art style is different from the Fugaku family's.

Back home, Naruto placed a piece of meat on the plate for the Naruto from the alternate dimension, and said earnestly and sincerely:

"Big brother, eat more! You've worked so hard, you need to nourish your body..."
