Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight
Chapter 144 Madara Uchiha's High Praise
This captain of the Dark Army, while not among the top high-ranking officials in Konoha, was still among the upper echelons and certainly possessed basic political acumen.
In Konoha today, political education at the Ninja Academy is a compulsory course for every ninja.
If you don't understand politics, politics will stay away from you and may even harm you.
Ninjas should not be mere tools of violence, but should possess comprehensive thinking and methods; this has long been a consensus among all Konoha ninjas.
The two people inside the pavilion, one a legendary figure in the ninja world who had experienced countless battles, and the other a new generation of high-ranking officials who were well-versed in the rules of Konoha, found themselves chatting very congenially, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Just then, a voice so familiar it made Madara Uchiha's teeth ache came from afar: "Madara. Long time no see."
Hashirama Senju's voice, brimming with passion, pierced through the surrounding noise and struck straight into the ears.
Madara Uchiha's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. Just as he clenched his fists, ready to say something, a series of shouts rang out at the same time.
"Big brother."
Two voices rang out at the same time, familiar yet distant. Uchiha Madara looked up and saw his two younger brothers, who had been dead for many years, standing right in front of him.
A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
If he himself could return from the Pure Land, with the current capabilities of Konoha, why is it impossible for him to revive his loved ones?
Moreover, he had previously witnessed Konoha's engineering ninjutsu, which could be transformed into industry and generate massive profits, making the village stronger in every aspect beyond combat power. This had already completely broadened his horizons.
In such circumstances, what other unbelievable things might happen?
He was mentally prepared, and this composure is quite rare.
"You little brat, you were resurrected too."
Madara Uchiha looked at his younger brother, his tone calm, and lightly tapped his palm with his fingertips, "It seems that Konoha is making quite a move."
The implication in his words was all too clear. With his broad perspective, how could he not see that this was a tactic by Konoha to win him over?
They used the promise of his family's return to lure this extremely dangerous powerhouse into Konoha's ranks.
As the head of the Uchiha clan, he could see through such a scheme at a glance.
Even if you see through it, the effect is still remarkable.
The reunion with his family and the gathering of his relatives eventually diminished most of his animosity towards Konoha, and a sense of goodwill quietly began to grow in his heart.
Madara Uchiha glanced at Orochimaru and nodded slightly, his tone acknowledging, "Fifth Hokage, I've seen you on screen before."
"The Impure World Reincarnation was originally a ninjutsu developed by Tobirama, but you perfected it to such an extent. You are the true practitioner of Konoha's path to peace."
Such high praise would have made others complacent, but Orochimaru remained humble: "Thank you for your praise, Lord Madara."
This composure and low-key demeanor made Madara Uchiha nod in approval.
This person is of excellent character and ability, and is more than qualified to serve as Hokage.
"It seems I'm really not suited to be the Hokage."
Suddenly, Hashirama Senju, who was standing to the side, exclaimed, leaving everyone present speechless with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
Even his own younger brother, Tobirama Senju, was at a loss for words when faced with such an unreliable older brother. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long time, and the scene instantly became awkward.
"Alright, brother."
Tobirama Senju quickly interrupted, barely managing to stabilize the situation. He then looked coldly at Madara Uchiha, his tone filled with undisguised wariness, "So, what do you plan to do next?"
He would never believe that Madara Uchiha was genuinely here to help Konoha. He believed that Madara's visit was most likely a scheme of his own, a point he had no doubt about.
Even now, the Senju and Uchiha clans live in harmony.
His prejudice against Madara Uchiha never dissipated in the slightest.
Madara Uchiha spoke softly, his words carrying immense weight: "Naturally, it's about collecting the tailed beasts from each village."
Such a massive weapon is most securely controlled by Konoha.
Otherwise, once Konoha's strength declines and it forms a balance with the other ninja villages, the entire ninja world will inevitably repeat the ravages of war during the Warring States period, won't it?
The moment those words were spoken, the room fell silent.
His reasons were reasonable and irrefutable.
Tailed beasts are the biggest threat to the ninja world. Only by gathering them in the hands of the strongest can the conflict be suppressed.
After a moment of silence, Tobirama Senju finally made up his mind and replied in a deep voice, "This time, I promise you."
Hashirama Senju's face immediately lit up with joy, and he said excitedly, "I am truly moved that the two of you can cooperate."
Tobirama Senju's lips twitched slightly.
He wasn't doing it for his brother's wish, but for the sake of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
The changes in Konoha have given him hope that he may witness true peace in his lifetime, and he is driven by that hope.
He is willing to let go of past grievances.
Just a moment later.
He then crossed his arms and added, "But let me make this clear: once the peace is settled, those of us who are already old enough to die should not remain alive for many years."
Only when it reaches a critical stage should it be temporarily awakened; otherwise, it will only add more danger to the world.
Upon hearing this, many people nodded in agreement, but Madara Uchiha remained unconcerned. He simply turned to his younger brothers beside him and said in a deep voice, "Izuna, let's go back to the Uchiha clan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three Uchiha brothers vanished from the spot in a flash.
Some Senju clan members tried to stop them from afar, led by Tobirama Senju, but were firmly stopped by Hashirama Senju. Moreover, the Hokage faction of Konoha was already implicitly on the side of the Uchiha, so no one dared to say anything more in this situation.
"We still need to be wary of the Uchiha."
Tobirama Senju looked in the direction of the Uchiha clan and spoke again to remind them.
Before he could finish speaking, Hashirama Senju grabbed him and earnestly advised, "Tobirama, don't say such things to the next generation."
They have their own judgment, so don't worry about it.
"Alright, let's hurry back to the Senju clan. I'm sure you're eager to know whether the path we set for the Senju back then was right or wrong."
As Hashirama Senju spoke, he moved swiftly, grabbing his younger brother and heading towards the Senju clan's territory.
After all these legendary figures had left, a figure silently emerged from the shadows—it was Yun An.
He never intended to get too involved with these people; he just wanted to watch the situation settle down from a distance.
"So there are times when you hide? Are you afraid of Madara Uchiha, or Lord Hashirama Senju?"
Orochimaru's voice rang out at the right moment, tinged with obvious sarcasm, as if seeing Yun An in this state was extremely amusing. "After all, back then, Madara wasn't the only one who knew you."
Upon hearing this, Yun An chuckled and, with her neck stiff, shouted, "What do I have to be afraid of?"
Whether it's Madara Uchiha or the Senju clan, the ninja world during the Warring States period was always a winner-takes-all world, so why would I be afraid?
You're seriously underestimating me, the Hokage's advisor.
