Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

To prevent the Uchiha clan from producing a second Madara Uchiha, Tobirama strictly forbade the dissemination of any information about Madara.

To avoid taboo, the Uchiha clan never told their younger generations about their family history during the Warring States period; many past events could only be discussed privately during clan gatherings.

Liao Wu told Itachi, "During the Warring States period, our clan was an extreme adversary of the Senju clan."

"The Uchiha clan possesses powerful chakra and the Sharingan, while the Senju clan has a plethora of secret techniques and exceptional physical abilities."

"Our two families are the root cause of the chaos in the ninja world."

"If a country employs the Senju, then its rival country will employ the Uchiha."

"We will inevitably encounter battles, and when we do, it will be a fight to the death."

Itachi listened intently as Ryouwu explained the history of his clan and the Senju clan.

These are things you can't learn from textbooks, nor were they things that Fugaku or Mikoto just casually told Itachi.

Liao Wu glanced at Itachi, who was listening attentively, and nodded: "This kind of fate finally took a turn for the better in Madara and Hashirama's generation."

Liao Wu's dry, monotonous explanation became a bit boring, so he asked Itachi, "Itachi, what kind of person do you think Madara is?"

Itachi touched his bald head: "Father said that Madara Uchiha was a power-hungry individual who would abandon everything for power, including his younger brother and clan."

Liao Wu shook his head: "No, Ban is not a power-hungry person. He has never been one for fighting, so he can only resolve conflicts."

"Ban was an extreme pacifist because his brothers all died in the war."

"Ban hated war, so he conceived the idea of ​​ending it."

"He met Hashirama, who also hated war."

"It seems that by a twist of fate, Madara and Hashirama became close friends, a friendship that was even deeper than the bond between brothers."

"But after their identities were exposed, the two broke up due to the conflict between their families. On the day Madara lost Hashirama as a friend, he awakened his Sharingan."

"After that, Madara and Hashirama grew rapidly in their respective clans and became leaders of their clans."

"Hashirama was very strong. He created the Wood Release, which was unprecedented in the history of the Senju clan. This bloodline limit suppressed Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Tobirama is no weakling either. He is unmatched in his talent for developing techniques, and all the techniques he possesses are specifically designed to target the Uchiha clan."

"The Senju clan is still the legitimate successor of the Ninja Clan, with a large number of allies. Basically, all ninja clans are dominated by the Senju clan."

"Under the leadership of Hashirama and Tobirama, the Senju clan won many battles on the battlefield, and the Uchiha clan was forced to retreat again and again."

"In the end, even some members of the Uchiha clan defected."

"During a war between the two sides, Tobirama killed Madara's younger brother, Izuna. With that, Madara lost all his direct relatives."

"After yet another defeat, Madara gained even more powerful eyes, and he wanted to settle things with Hashirama."

"But he lost again. Hashirama was like a shadow that Madara could never shake off throughout his life, always suppressing Madara."

"Just as Tobirama was about to kill Madara, Hashirama stopped him."

"Hashirama wanted to end the millennia-long rivalry between the Uchiha and Senju clans, and he also wanted to win back Madara, his former confidant."

"They all share the same ideal: to build a peaceful world where children will never again be sent to the battlefield."

"Hashirama was a saint. Back then, if he had killed Madara, the Uchiha clan would have become easy prey for the Senju clan, who could have bullied them however they wanted!"

"But Hashirama managed to save Madara's life!"

Itachi listened attentively, feeling deep respect for Hashirama, who possessed such great love. This was truly the First Hokage, hailed as the God of Shinobi.

You can question his appeasement policy, but you can't question his character.

Liao Wu looked at Itachi and said, "The affairs of the world are always complicated and tangled. If Tobirama had killed Madara back then, there might not have been so many troubles later."

"Itachi, do you think that if it happened again, and Hashirama knew what Madara had done, would he still let him go?"

Itachi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!"

Liao Wu asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because he was Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage of Konoha!"

Liao Wu smiled and said, "Yes! He is Hashirama Senju. If we could do it all over again, I think he would still let Madara go."

"Because people learn nothing from the past, their character determines their success, and also their tragedy."

"Hashirama is a single-celled organism; simply put, he has no brain and acts solely on his feelings."

Shikulin Forest.

"Achoo!"

Hashirama was practicing Yin-Yang Release when he suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

The slug sage asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong? Can dead people catch a cold?"

Hashirama shook his head, guessing, "I guess... someone's cursing me!"

The Slug Sage guessed, "There aren't many people in this era who dare to criticize Lord Hashirama; it's probably Madara!"

Hashirama shook his head again: "No, Madara wouldn't talk behind someone's back!"

"I suspect it's Tobirama. I beat him up before and made him lose face, so he's probably cursing me behind my back."

The Slug Sage said regretfully, "What a pity. Tobirama-sama has a higher talent for techniques than Hashirama-sama. If he could tone down his gloomy nature a bit, he could master Sage Mode."

Immortal arts emphasize the unity of heaven and man, which is about mindset. Immortal arts stress not to move and not to have wild thoughts.

The smarter a person is, the less able they are to calm down.

Hashirama scratched his head and laughed: "No way, Tobirama always prepares for the worst in any unexpected situation."

"He can't calm himself down!"

"It's no use saying all this now, Tobirama and I are already dead!"

"Sigh... these descendants are really causing trouble, Liao Wu and Orochimaru too."

"Ban is even worse. A story that should have ended is being continued. Our story has ended, and the future of the world should be decided by the new generation."

Hashirama had completed his mission by pacifying the Warring States period and establishing Konoha.

To say he could also be a hero is an understatement; for example, he could help the Daimyo unify the five great ninja nations and eliminate all rivals.

Hashirama could do it.

However, there is no basis for unification among the five major powers.

For example, after centuries of constant warfare, each nation was exhausted and desperately needed a first emperor to end the chaos.

The Five Great Ninja Nations were five major nations that emerged from a thousand years of mutual warfare during the Warring States period, much like the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period or the Five Warring States.

The Zhou royal family's power had declined, its authority had vanished, and it was no longer able to effectively control the feudal lords.

Some powerful vassal states launched fierce wars for supremacy in order to vie for control of the world.

Ninjas developed rapidly against this backdrop, and ninjutsu, which allowed for swift killing, became a powerful tool that replaced samurai.

Various countries formed alliances and waged wars with the help of ninjas, eventually giving rise to the five largest lords, also known as the Five Great Ninja Nations.

To be precise, the Warring States period was not yet over.

Hashirama's historical mission was to transition from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period.

In what was once a chaotic world, each village was like a small country, and you could cross borders in just a few steps. If you argued loudly, neighboring countries could hear you.

They started the battle in the morning and went home for lunch in the afternoon.

The Warring States period between the pillars was like this, full of chaotic small states and forces.

Sanctioning a village and blocking its entrance is tantamount to sealing off the entire country and strangling its economic lifeline.
