Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

The celestial backdrop transitions.

A new text title appears:

As is widely known, the Uchiha clan has an unwritten rule: whoever awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan will inevitably awaken a new eye technique.

Under the sky, everyone's interest was instantly piqued.

Indeed, they had almost never seen Madara Uchiha use any special eye techniques.

He fights using only taijutsu, fire jutsu, and Susanoo; no one has ever seen him use any fancy kaleidoscope abilities.

On the high platform in the first year of Konoha.

Madara Uchiha crossed his arms, his expression disdainful.

"Eye techniques? They're just a means for the weak to compensate for their weaknesses."

"I don't need it at all."

The aerial view continues.

[In the original storyline of Ultimate Ninja Storm, during the battle between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, Hashirama threw a giant shuriken at Madara.]

The shuriken originally struck Madara, but the next second, Madara's Sharingan began to spin rapidly, as if turning back time by a few seconds, successfully deflecting the shuriken back.

This suggests that Madara's kaleidoscope seems to possess the ability to rewind time.

Unfortunately, this feature was not included in the official release.

Under the sky, everyone was so shocked they were speechless.

[Fourth Raikage A: Are you kidding me?! Time reversal?! Madara Uchiha is already difficult enough to fight! If you give him the ability to rewind time, what will become of him?!]

Mei Terumi: Thank goodness fate didn't give Madara Uchiha this... otherwise, this battle would have been impossible to fight.

On the high platform in the first year of Konoha.

Hashirama Senju suddenly turned to look at Madara Uchiha, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"Madara!!! You never told me you had this ability!!!"

Madara Uchiha was also bewildered; he himself didn't know he possessed this ability.

"I have no idea."

"you do not know?!"

Then Hashirama's mind raced, and he realized that, strictly speaking, this was just a fan-made creation.

The aerial view continues.

Another theory is that it's an illusion.

Madara is top-notch in every other aspect, except for his genjutsu, which is rarely mentioned.

Looking at the abilities of brothers in the Uchiha clan, generally speaking, the Mangekyou Sharingan abilities of brothers overlap to some extent; Sasuke and Itachi both possessing Amaterasu is the best example.

Madara's younger brother, Izuna, happens to be a master of illusion.

The reason Tobirama developed the Flying Thunder God Slash during his fight with Izuna was because he feared Izuna would have time to use genjutsu.

Therefore, Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan ability most likely also includes genjutsu (illusionary techniques).

Under the sky, everyone's minds were racing.

[Fourth Raikage A: Madara Uchiha and genjutsu?? I can't imagine that scene at all!]

[Mei Terumi: When has he ever used genjutsu in a fight? Doesn't he always just overwhelm his opponent with physical attacks?]

[Kurotsuchi: So he doesn't use illusion magic because he simply doesn't need it?!]

On the border of the Land of Lightning, Tobirama Senju looked at the analysis on the sky, his brows furrowed in thought.

Izuna is a master of illusion... Of course he knows that.

When he fought Izuna, he was always on guard against the opponent's illusions, which is why he developed the Flying Thunder God Slash.

But he had never seen Madara use illusion magic.

"Is it because of disdain? Or because..."

Tobirama Senju's gaze turned serious.

"Or because he simply doesn't need it."

With that thought, Tobirama Senju felt relieved.

The only one who could fight Madara Uchiha was his own brother.

Illusion techniques are of little use to the older brother, and given Madara's fighting style, even if he had illusory techniques, he would most likely be too lazy to use them.

After all, using illusions is never as satisfying as doing it yourself.

On the sky, a headline that shocked the entire ninja world appeared.

Did Madara Uchiha's close friend, Hashirama Senju, revert to the Divine Tree?

The entire ninja world fell silent for a moment.

[Fourth Raikage A: What the hell? A reverted Divine Tree? Hashirama Senju was a tree?!]

[Mei Terumi: Isn't this title a bit too much information...? And what is the Divine Tree anyway?]

[Black Soil: Wait a minute, no matter how much a person reverts to their ancestral form, they can't revert to a tree, can they?!]

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

Jiraiya, who had been lazily leaning against the window, instantly stood up straight upon seeing these words.

"A primal...divine tree? Old man, do you even know what a divine tree is?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, holding his pipe. He pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"I once saw some records in the Uchiha's legacy... The Divine Tree is said to be the origin of chakra."

Jiraiya's expression turned strange.

"So... the First Hokage was a descendant of that tree?"

The sky continued to fall.

As is widely known, the Divine Tree can absorb the life energy of a planet, and it is also the origin of all chakra in the ninja world.

[Hashirama Senju's Wood Release technique can absorb chakra.]

Is there some connection between these two things?

The scene cuts in.

An image of the divine tree appeared on the sky.

It was a colossal tree, so enormous that its roots stretched deep into the earth, its branches and leaves obscuring the sky, as if connected to the very fabric of the planet.

The scene then shifts.

Hashirama Senju clasped his hands together, and the branches of his Wood Release technique wrapped around the Nine-Tails' body.

The Nine-Tails' chakra was continuously absorbed and suppressed by the Wood Release.

[Kurotsuchi: This... Wood Release can really absorb chakra? Isn't that the same ability as the Divine Tree?]

[Deidara: Holy crap! Now that you mention it, it actually does look a bit like that! They're both trees that absorb energy!]

Mei Terumi: Hashirama Senju... so it turns out he wasn't a ninja, he was a walking tree?!

The period when Konoha was founded.

Hashirama Senju was completely stunned when he saw the contrast in the sky.

He looked down at his hands, then looked up at the towering, sun-shading divine tree in the sky.

"I...I am a tree?"

Madara Uchiha stood to the side, looking Hashirama up and down.

"Now that you mention it... you do have a bit of a tree-like quality."

Hashirama panicked.

"What do you mean by the spirit of a tree?! I'm a human being!"

Ban crossed his arms and gave a cold snort.

"Can a normal person heal themselves that quickly? Can a normal person use such exaggerated Wood Release techniques? You're just a tree."

Hashirama: "..."

The Sage of Six Paths once divided his power equally between Ashura and Indra.

According to the Sage of Six Paths, Indra's talent far surpasses that of Asura.

Indra's reincarnations are mostly geniuses, while Asura's reincarnations are usually failures.

[Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha are the reincarnations of the other two.]

Naruto and Sasuke perfectly fit this characteristic.

Under the sky, everyone was shocked once again.

[Fourth Raikage A: The Sage of Six Paths has children?! And his power was evenly divided between his two sons?]

Mei Terumi: So... the source of power for the Uchiha and Senju clans is actually the two sons of the Sage of Six Paths?

[Kurotsuchi: Wait a minute! Indra's reincarnations are all geniuses, Ashura's reincarnations are all losers... So what's up with Hashirama Senju?! Isn't he Ashura's reincarnation? Why is he so ridiculously strong?!]

Konoha Village, training ground.

Naruto stared at the sky, completely stunned, his face full of confusion.

"Ashura... Indra... Am I the reincarnation of Ashura? Then Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra?!"

Sasuke also showed a rare expression of surprise, his brows furrowing slightly as he pondered this information.

"The Sage of Six Paths' child... Were we brothers in a past life?"

However, Hashirama Senju broke this exception.

[From the very first meeting with Madara, he displayed a talent far surpassing Madara's.]

However, Hashirama's strength was always superior to Madara's.

[Upholding the principle that "no matter how strong you are, I will be stronger," Hashirama will always be one step ahead of Madara, no matter how hard Madara tries to become stronger.]
