Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Izuna closed his eyes and looked in the direction Tobirama was looking. He couldn't see anything, so he could only analyze everything by listening.

He heard Obito and his contemporaries boasting that they would become Hokage.

"Hmph, Hokage, only children would fight over something like this."

Tobirama replied, "Izuna, Madara defected because he couldn't compete with my older brother for the Hokage position."

"..."

Izuna snorted: "Tobirama Senju, you must have used some underhanded means to make my brother lose the selection."

Tobirama shook his head: "The election of the First Hokage was a democratic election. Do you think anyone would vote for Madara?"

Izuna was rendered speechless. Lacking Tobirama's 20 years of life experience, he couldn't even win a verbal battle with him.

After a long silence, Izuna finally asked Tobirama about his purpose: "Tobirama Senju, what exactly do you want? My eyes are gone, and my brother has been sealed away by you. Your Senju clan has won once again!"

"There's nothing left on me for you to covet!"

Tobirama looked at Izuna and said, "Izuna, you should know that your life was saved by your elder brother, right?"

"..."

Izuna remained silent.

He acknowledged Hashirama Senju's immense power, and his character seemed far superior to that of his Uchiha brothers.

At the very least, Izuna would not give his life to an outsider.

Izuna may have said he didn't care, but he actually resurrected himself.

Izuna received Hashirama's blessing, and there's no way he can get rid of it.

Tobirama continued, "When my elder brother used the Samsara of Heaven technique, he told me to promise him that I wouldn't hurt you and that I would find a way to help you integrate into Konoha."

"This was my brother's last request. He said that if you hadn't died back then, Madara wouldn't have become this obsessed person."

Izuna snorted, "If I hadn't died, my brother wouldn't have been deceived by you and led the clan to submit to Konoha, which is dominated by the Senju clan."

Tobirama shook his head and smiled helplessly, then said, "Izuna, tell me the truth, do you think Madara's Eye of the Moon Plan can save the world?"

Izuna did not reply. He was a pragmatist and a realist who never believed that the world of illusions could save the war-torn ninja world.

According to the prevailing belief among the Uchiha clan, only overwhelming power can end the war.

However, this was Madara's plan, and Izuna was willing to accept defeat with Madara.

Tobirama looked at the silent Izuna and said, "Izuna, I won't kill you, but you are very strong. Even without the Mangekyou Sharingan, you are still a master. I have to restrain you."

"But you don't need to worry that I will harm you. I promised my brother that I would make sure you live a good life in Konoha. I will implant a pair of eyes in you that will allow you to see the light."

Izuna scoffed, "Tobirama Senju, I don't want your kindness. Just say you want to lock me up in Konoha!"

Tobirama shook his head: "Fine, whatever you think."

"I think you know a little about the Uchiha clan now!"

"Man does not live for thought; the meaning of human existence is simply to live, to live in all its forms."

"You yearn for the flames of war where you perish together with the Thousand Hands, but in reality, many people just want to have a peaceful life."

Tobirama noticed a small, bald boy peeking in their direction. When he looked at the boy, the boy immediately looked away.

Tobirama recognized him; the bald-headed Uchiha was the son of Uchiha Fugaku, the captain of the Uchiha Police Department, and also the nephew of Ryoubu.

Tobirama beckoned Itachi over.

Itachi was somewhat curious about Izuna, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan during the Sengoku period, who was said to be Madara's younger brother.

Out of curiosity, I secretly followed them to observe.

He wanted to see what kind of person Ban's brother was.

This was quite remarkable, because Izuna looked very much like her uncle—no, it should be said that her uncle looked very much like Izuna.

Maybe he was my uncle's direct ancestor.

Itachi was discovered by Tobirama, but Tobirama was not angry. Instead, he let Itachi go over.

Itachi approached the two ancient figures from the Warring States period: "Second Hokage!"

Tobirama stroked Itachi's head; it felt quite nice. It was rather novel for an Uchiha to have a shaved head.

"Izuna, this child's mother and uncle are collateral descendants of your family."

If the Uchiha clan also has a main branch, then Ryou and Mikoto are members of that main branch, descendants of Madara and Izuna.

Who is his uncle?

Izuna was a little curious, because no matter how extreme one is, one will quiet down when it comes to children.

Children are innocent; children are the future.

Tobirama replied to Izuna, "It's Ryougo. Ryougo is exactly like you; he's a descendant of a distant relative of yours."

Upon hearing Liao Wu's name, Izuna's face immediately turned cold: "This traitor among traitors, a three-surname slave, my brother made everything for him, and he actually betrayed my brother?"

"She's the worst of the worst; her sons will definitely never have dermatitis!"

Tobirama smiled slightly, pleased to see his own Uchiha comrades getting angry.

It was indeed the right decision to use the Uchiha clan to counterbalance the Uchiha clan.

Tobirama then examined Itachi's Will of Fire, and after his examination, Tobirama was utterly astonished.

This child can already think like a Hokage.

Izuna snorted and said sarcastically, "You were born in the wrong place, child! It's really tough for you to be born into the Uchiha clan. You should have been born into the Senju clan."

Itachi looked at Izuna, frowning slightly. This younger brother of Madara seemed to be even more hostile towards Konoha than Madara himself.

They are even more hawkish than the hawks themselves.

When Fugaku saw Itachi interrupting the conversation between Tobirama and Izuna, he worried that it might affect the two of them, so he came over to apologize.

They were about to pull Itachi away so as not to interrupt Tobirama and Izuna's conversation.

But Tobirama didn't mind at all, and patted Itachi's head, saying, "Fugaku, don't be so formal with me. I really like this kid's awareness; it's higher than many people's."

Fugaku was overjoyed. It was a good thing that Tobirama, a member of the Senju clan, liked someone from the Uchiha clan.

Itachi's future might be looking promising.

He quickly spoke of Itachi's talent: "Second Hokage, my Itachi has awakened the Sharingan, and it's even a double-tomoe Sharingan!"

"What?!"

Tobirama and Izuna were both shocked to hear this. How could such a young child have awakened the Sharingan so early?

After learning more about Itachi, Tobirama became impressed by his talent.

The Uchiha clan is indeed a clan blessed by the heavens; they have so many exceptionally talented individuals.

Itachi's talent was far superior to that of Izuna or Madara back then.

In contrast, the Senju clan, which has always been on par with the Uchiha, had virtually no one of noteworthy talent in this war besides Hashirama and Tobirama.

The only Tsunade was kidnapped by Liao Wu and became his wife.

Tobirama is now looking forward to Yamato growing up quickly so that he can properly vindicate the Senju clan.

At the same time, Tobirama also began to consider supporting Itachi to counterbalance the Uchiha clan.

This child is so young yet already so devoted to the Hokage; his ideological awareness far surpasses that of other Uchiha.

Tobirama leaned against Itachi and said, "Itachi, I have a question for you now."

Itachi was eager to try: "Second Hokage, ask away!"
