Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Hashirama's greatest contribution was establishing Konoha, signing an employment agreement with the Daimyo clans of the Land of Fire, and helping the Land of Fire become one of the Five Great Ninja Nations.

Other countries and ninja factions copied this approach, annexing many noisy small countries, eventually forming the Five Great Ninja Countries and their buffer states.

The First and Second Shinobi World Wars were the process of the five great shinobi nations fighting and clashing with each other, transitioning from the Warring States period to the unification under the Qin Dynasty.

As the intensity of the war increased, cities changed hands repeatedly, and writing systems, languages, customs, and institutions clashed and assimilated with each other amidst the bloodshed.

When the land is shattered by war, we will understand the meaning of shared destiny; when countless lives are lost in battle, we will understand the meaning of unification.

In the original work, Sasuke already had the idea of ​​unifying the country.

But after being reprimanded by Naruto, he lost that idea. The revolution that should have been sparked by the battle at the Valley of the End turned out to be all bark and no bite.

The world order hasn't changed; it's the same before the war as it is after!

A daimyo is still a daimyo, and a commoner is always a commoner; the son of a Hokage is a Hokage, and the son of a scapegoat is a scapegoat.

The five major powers are still around, and the five largest military blocs are still around.

The fact that the Ōtsutsuki clan, an alien enemy, drew the attention of the major powers led to the formation of alliances among them.

Once the crisis with the Otsutsuki is resolved and Naruto and Sasuke are dead, the great powers will once again be engaged in warfare.

Because the human soul is bloodthirsty, constantly fighting and killing.

Division, unification; unification followed by division, and after a long period of division, unification again.

History is like a ring, a spiraling upward ring.

Repeating the same thing over and over again.

Hashirama could accelerate the transition from the Warring States period to the Qin Dynasty's unification, and with his powerful Wood Release, he was able to defeat the other four states.

However, a forced unification will inevitably cause enormous damage; unification is impossible without completely eliminating the ninja villages, daimyo, and noble groups of the major powers.

Hashirama's personality isn't like that.

It's possible to have freckles, but freckles skipped this inevitable historical pattern.

He wanted to end this ever-moving world cycle and bring the world to a still and beautiful state.

A world without strife, without killing, where everyone can find happiness.

To fundamentally resolve the inner struggles of people is a revolution that completely changes the laws of history, and it is also going against the way of Heaven.

He's too impatient! He's too eager to see a world without conflict!

The Slug Sage asked Hashirama, "Lord Hashirama, if you could do it all over again, would you have let Madara go?"

Hashirama scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "Probably! Because Madara is my best friend, I feel like he's my brother."

"I killed Madara in the battle at the Valley of the End, and ever since then I have lived with immense guilt."

"When I woke up and heard that Madara was still alive, my worries were relieved. That kid Madara, he actually lied to me like that!"

The Slug Sage looked at Hashirama and couldn't help but reveal the truth: "Lord Hashirama, you and Madara are actually brothers!"

"What?! What has my dad done?!"

Hashirama was shocked!

The Slug Sage quickly explained, "No, it's not Lord Butsuma's fault!"

Hashirama was even more shocked, and even doubted himself: "That's Uchiha Tajima, could it be that I am—"

The slug sage was speechless; the reincarnations of Asura throughout history were not very bright.

"That's right, Lord Hashirama. You are the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, the progenitor of the Senju clan, while Madara is the reincarnation of Indra."

"Indra and Asura were originally the sons of the Sage of Six Paths; they were brothers."

"My brother Indra is a genius. He is the source of the Sharingan and inherited the Sage of Six Paths' immense ocular power from birth."

"He invented hand seals, laying the foundation for ninjutsu. He is the true progenitor of ninjas."

"Because of his innate great power, Indra was an absolute power-hungry believer who believed that the strong could easily dominate the weak."

"His younger brother, Ashura, was much more mediocre in comparison, but through his own efforts and the assistance of his companions, he gained power that rivaled his brother's."

"He realized that love is the key to achieving peace."

"The disagreement lies in the Sage of Six Paths' favoritism. When the Sage of Six Paths was nearing the end of his life, he handed over the Ninjutsu to Ashura and taught him the power of the Six Paths."

"Indra refused to accept this outcome, and the two sides engaged in a confrontation that lasted for a thousand years."

"The chakra of Indra and Ashura will possess the descendants of their respective families."

"In your time, Indra's chakra possessed Madara, while Ashura's chakra possessed you, Hashirama-sama."

"So, Lord Hashirama, your feeling is not wrong. You and Madara restrain and influence each other. You are brothers and rivals destined to be together."

"(´⊙ω⊙`)."

Hashirama stared at the Slug Sage in utter shock. He never imagined that he and Madara were truly brothers, though not by blood, but by fate.

No wonder Hashirama felt a flutter in his heart when he first met Madara; there was an unbreakable bond between them.

Hashirama scratched his head and said, "But what does that prove? Even if Izuna were to be resurrected, he couldn't persuade Madara now."

"He wants to drag the world completely into a dream, and end all conflict."

"No--"

Slug Sage shook his head: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that you, Lord Hashirama, and Madara are the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra, respectively."

"You are brothers and rivals in destiny. Indra will not be much better than Asura. You influence and achieve each other."

"If one side becomes stronger, the other side will also become stronger."

Throughout history, Asuras and Indras have influenced and complemented each other.

The strength of Indra is equal to that of the Asuras; they are evenly matched.

For example, Naruto and Sasuke. Sasuke had just awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan after his brother died, and Naruto learned Sage Mode right afterward.

Naruto's entire family died, and Sasuke's entire family followed suit.

Naruto isn't very smart, and Sasuke isn't much smarter!

The phrase "Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix" is used to describe Asura and Indra.

In the original story, Hashirama was unable to fight Madara to a standstill after his resurrection because Ashura's development relied on the power of his allies.

Hashirama didn't have that much time to grow.

But now, Hashirama has the opportunity to receive Yin-Yang Release personally taught by the Slug Sage and obtain the power of the Six Paths.

The Slug Sage said to Hashirama, "Lord Hashirama, you must believe in yourself. You are the only one who can stop Madara Uchiha."

Hashirama looked at his hands with some confusion: "Me? How am I supposed to stop Madara? I killed him once for the sake of the village."

"Now, are we going to make him our enemy again for the sake of the ninja world?"

"After my death, this system of the Five Great Nations, which I led, went through three Shinobi World Wars. I don't know how future generations will save this world?"

The Slug Sage looked at Hashirama, who seemed somewhat lost. The Hashirama of the past would never have been lost.

He would persevere in whatever he did, such as joining forces with Madara to establish Konoha, even though Tobirama said that killing Madara would end all the fighting.

Hashirama still placed Madara in his service, and together they established Konoha.

However, after his death, the balance he had established quickly collapsed, leading to a bloody war.

The facts are right in front of us, negating all of Hashirama's efforts.
