Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 211 The Sage of Six Paths: Am I really the mastermind? Hashirama and Madara's reunion!

The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, is currently in a rather pleasant mood.

Ever since his younger brother Hamura came to him and told him that he had become synonymous with "cold-blooded and cruel," he had been in a bad mood.

Strictly speaking, all of this is for the sake of the ninja world, so that the masses of the ninja world can find a way to survive in that unknown future.

Even though it's cruel, it still cares for all living beings.

But the problem is, this really doesn't seem to have anything to do with him at all, does it?

Yu Yi also wondered if that was really what she thought at the time, which was why she did it.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with this. For the future of the ninja world, for everyone to survive, what does it matter if we bear a bad reputation?

However, Yu Yi felt that he shouldn't rashly accept such a "heavenly achievement," especially since he really hadn't thought of it that way!

"Where did this rumor come from that I've actually become like this?"

Hagoromo couldn't understand it. Only after learning from his younger brother Hamura did he realize with astonishment that the starting point of all this emotion seemed to be that of Hagoromo.

"No, what are you thinking?"

Yu Yi felt somewhat puzzled. He had indeed been paying attention to Yu Zhi, this junior, but he had never interfered with her.

He's watched this kid grow up to where he is today, and he's gradually become his "big son." But why are you making up stories about me like this?

"However, this kid has actually awakened the Rinnegan, and according to Hamura, the aura within him is becoming increasingly similar to his mother's... "

Although she was still very unhappy about being framed by Yuzhi, who made her go from a "kind and loving" person to a "cold-blooded and cruel" one.

But what he cared about more was the ninja world, and what concerned him most was the issue of his mother.

The fact that Hagoromo had reached this point, along with his wife, made Hagoromo somewhat uneasy.

After much deliberation, he finally made a decision!

"I need to go and see this kid. Only by observing him carefully can I be sure of some things."

Although his good brother Hamura has said that Haori is a person who cares about the ninja world, and that this kid also has some plans to unify the ninja world and bring peace to it.

At the same time, it is also to unite the power of the ninja world in order to better deal with the future 'catastrophes' from aliens.

But seeing is believing, and Yu Yi felt he needed to observe it himself; only then could he feel at ease.

However, what really made him lose his composure was that after he sent his little brother back to the moon, he followed the scent of the haori and arrived in Konoha.

He suddenly heard something that left him speechless, and now it seemed to have become the truth.

"Do you truly agree with the Sage of Six Paths' actions? Is such a cold-blooded and cruel approach all worthwhile?"

No, I didn't do anything, so how can I be called cold-blooded and cruel?

The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo, was in a difficult position, as was Hagoromo, whose nonsensical ramblings were slowly gaining traction.

Now, even if he tries to explain that he made it all up, probably no one will believe him anymore. This makes him both amused and helpless, but it's not necessarily a bad thing for him.

After all, once he has made up his mind and is aware of the harshness of the future, his actions will receive support.

It's normal for Jiraiya to feel upset, because he has always been an "idealist".

For idealists, nothing is more devastating than the shattering of their dreams.

"We'll talk about the First Generation later, Jiraiya-senpai. I can understand your thoughts."

Yuzhi touched his chin. He always felt like he was being watched, but he could never find any trace of it.

After thinking it over and over, he was too lazy to think about it anymore and instead focused on Jiraiya's problem.

"You ask me if all of this was worth it? I think you should ask the Sage of Six Paths if all of this was worth it."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki: "."

No, why are you asking me? I don't know anything about it!

"Besides that, you should also ask yourself."

Fortunately, Yuri continued to speak, looking intently at Jiraiya who still seemed somewhat bewildered, and asked him word by word.

"Do you think it was all worth it?"

"I"

Jiraiya pursed his lips. Ever since he learned about the Sage of Six Paths' actions, he had been somewhat restless and unable to eat or sleep.

Because he has always been searching for the "Child of Prophecy" who can change the ninja world, and he has always longed for the arrival of peace.

However, the fact that the Sage of Six Paths was actually the mastermind behind the turmoil in the ninja world left him somewhat bewildered.

Even the person who created the Ninja Cult and brought peace and tranquility to the ninja world was, in essence, a person who stirred up the ninja world!

This left him momentarily wondering what meaning the peace he sought still held.

"I don't know, I'm completely lost."

After an unknown amount of time, Jiraiya shook his head with a wry smile.

"But perhaps it was all worth it."

"No, not maybe, it's inevitable. You must believe in the wisdom of the Sage of Six Paths."

Upon seeing this, Yuzhi immediately spoke up, which made Yuyi, who was 'peeping' from the side, unable to hold back any longer.

What do you mean by trusting my wisdom? I haven't done anything!

"Indeed, the ninja world has endured thousands of years of suffering, and such difficulties are beyond description for all of us."

But such hardships forged our resolute character, indomitable will, and superb fighting skills.

Without these things, how would we deal with outsiders who want to destroy our homes, or even destroy all of us and all of our lives?

Without these thousand years of hardship, how could we have forged all of this and perfected our ninja system?

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Rather than teaching us step by step, it is better to let us learn, grow and mature in the midst of war.

Otherwise, how could we have achieved this much in the past thousand years?

Every bite and sip is predetermined; you reap what you sow. Sometimes, in order to survive, we must make certain sacrifices.

The words of the haori made Jiraiya fall silent, and Tobirama Senju, the Third Hokage, as well as Minato and Tsunade, all nodded in agreement.

It was truly cruel, and they had all experienced war, but their strength was honed in the war, so they naturally understood what Yuzhi meant.

Only by understanding the meaning of the haori can one better agree with the Sage of Six Paths' actions. A ninja who has not experienced blood and fire cannot grow!

"What kind of twisted logic is that?"

However, the real Sage of Six Paths was already on the verge of tears. He had only come to observe, but unexpectedly encountered a debate.

But after saying all that, he himself was starting to feel overwhelmed, and although he said it was fallacious reasoning, he couldn't help but agree with it in his heart.

Battles do indeed help people grow, but when he founded the Ninja Cult to teach people how to use chakra, it was so that everyone could understand each other through chakra!

How come everything has changed now, yet everything seems so logical?

"Okay, that certainly seems to be the case."

Jiraiya lowered his head, looking somewhat listless.

"Perhaps I'm the odd one out; when it comes to survival, I really feel out of place."

"No, I think someone like you might be the hope that the Sage of Six Paths left for the world."

Just when Jiraiya was feeling his worst, Haori tilted her head and suddenly smiled and spoke.

Although everyone knew that this guy was in a great mood, they were still somewhat surprised when he suddenly said something like that.

They knew what Jiraiya was thinking. Although they didn't agree with it, they respected Jiraiya's choice. But it seemed a bit inappropriate for Hagoromo to say it like this now.

"Hmm? This kid is my hope for the ninja world? What do you mean?"

Yu Yi, who was still standing there nervously, was stunned when he heard these words. After a moment of sensing, he immediately realized what was going on.

"So he's Gamamaru's successor. But Gamamaru still prefers prophecy, as always, this child."

The relationship between Hagoromo and the giant toad is quite close. They were once comrades-in-arms and also mentors and friends. He is not surprised that Gamamaru is still alive.

However, Gamamaru still upheld some of the beliefs he left behind, using prophecies and guidance to help people understand peace, which made him feel somewhat pleased.

In the end, there are still people who understand this old man!

However, his mood quickly soured again, because he felt that the person who had inherited his will was about to be brainwashed.

"What do you mean by that, Hokage-sama?"

Jiraiya was also somewhat bewildered. He felt that his "ideal" had been shattered, and now that Haori had said this, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"It's very simple. Your idea might be exactly what the Sage of Six Paths wanted to leave for everyone."

After thinking for a moment, Yu Zhi continued, "Although I have already ruined the reputation of the Sage of Six Paths, I can still try to salvage it."

Moreover, he genuinely disagreed with Jiraiya's ideas, so taking this opportunity to "guide" him wouldn't be a bad thing.

"Although the Sage of Six Paths made our two children fight each other constantly in order to temper us, this turned the ninja world into a living hell."

What nonsense are you spouting?!

Yu Yi's fists were clenched. If he weren't so well-mannered, he would have really wanted to take out his staff, travel through time, and give Yu Yi a couple of good whacks.

However, Yuzhi was completely unaware of this, and what he said next stunned even Yuzhi herself.

"But there still needs to be hope in the world. War and turmoil will eventually come to an end, and when foreign enemies arrive, the ninja world needs to unite and fight them together."

With such deep-seated hatred, how can we resolve this enmity and get everyone to turn their attention to the outsiders, those who will destroy the ninja world?

I think that at this time, there needs to be a certain kind of person—someone who upholds the belief in peace, someone who strives tirelessly with ideals, someone…

"A person who embraces the ideal of 'mutual understanding between people,' enabling everyone to put aside hatred and face the enemy together!"

Jiraiya didn't wait for Haori to finish speaking before immediately interrupting her, and at that moment, his eyes seemed to regain their light.

Yes, the ninja world is cruel, but it can't stay cruel forever, because the enemy will eventually come, and they will eventually need to unite to face the enemy!

At this time, we need people who always cherish the ideal of peace, who always try to get everyone to put aside their conflicts, and who always work hard for this cause.

Jiraiya, he's clearly that kind of person!

"Throughout history, there have actually been quite a few people similar to you, Jiraiya-senpai."

Yu Zhi leaned back in the Hokage's office chair, his body tilted back strategically, and smiled as he addressed the somewhat bewildered crowd.

"They all yearn for peace, they all yearn for mutual understanding among people, and they are all striving forward for this dream that is different from that of the times."

Perhaps even the Sage of Six Paths didn't know when the enemy would arrive, but this belief and the spark of faith could not be extinguished.

They harbored ideals, they were misunderstood by the world, they followed one after another, they went against the tide of the times.

Those who are misunderstood by their times will always stand in the darkness, but who says that only those who stand in the light are heroes? They are the true lone warriors.

As Haori spoke, she almost started singing, but Jiraiya was completely stunned. His eyes reddened and flickered, and his fists clenched slightly.

Tobirama Senju, the Third Hokage, Minato, and Tsunade seemed somewhat moved, but mostly bewildered.

These people are indeed great and worthy of respect, but

Are there really that many people?

And if that's really the case, then the Sage of Six Paths is no ordinary strategist!

He had considered every aspect of the problem meticulously, and he could list out all the possible scenarios clearly. He even maintained this belief and passed it on.

Moreover, isn't it a kind of cold-blooded and cruel thing to keep this belief being passed down?

Those who carry such beliefs will always be at odds with the times, and will always be misunderstood and intolerable by the times, but they will still keep moving forward to inherit and pass on this idea.

How tragic and magnificent this is! And how cold-blooded and cruel the Sage of Six Paths is!

"A lone hero?"

Jiraiya closed his eyes and lowered his head, as if he didn't want everyone to see his face. He couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"That's right, lone warrior, and now I think it's time for you to prove your worth."

Yuzhi nodded. He felt like he had somehow managed to fix the problem, or maybe he had messed things up again.

However, he was too lazy to think about it further and continued speaking.

"Outsiders have come to this world, and they want to destroy it. What we need to do now is to integrate the ninja world and unite all forces."

Times are changing, and our methods of doing things need to be optimized. Mutual understanding and equality between people are very important, but it was not so easy in the era of the ninja village.

How can Konoha achieve equality and mutual understanding with others? Konoha's wealth is always something others yearn for, while Sunagakure's poverty means they can only ever have a piece of fat meat.

Only by integrating the ninja world and ensuring that everyone has access to resources can equality be possible!

Jiraiya, stop thinking about the "Child of Prophecy". I've heard that the "Child of Prophecy" you speak of is someone who will bring change and peace to the ninja world.

But so-called "prophecies" always place hope in others. Why can't you be the child of this prophecy? Why don't you take responsibility?

You and your predecessors carried ideals all the way to where you are today; you are the true heroes. So why can't you change all of this yourselves?

Yuri's "chicken soup" skills have never weakened, and his words made Jiraiya's eyes start to sparkle.

Will the lone hero take on all this responsibility? Shall I be the 'Child of Prophecy'?

Jiraiya fell silent, his thoughts becoming incredibly chaotic, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

However, he did have a longing in his heart, because a sentence from Yuzhi touched his heart.

"So-called 'prophecies' always place hope in others; have I never taken on the responsibilities I should have?"

Jiraiya murmured to himself, recalling the past, especially the time when he wasn't in the village during the Nine-Tails incident.

Although it didn't cause any consequences, it was all thanks to Yuu, and combined with the 'prophecy' he saw, as well as the 'prophecy' seen by the second generation and the teacher.

They all speculated that Minato and Kushina might have died on the night of the Nine-Tails.

Even if it wasn't this world, he still felt terrible, which seemed to be a sign that he hadn't taken on the responsibilities he should have!

With this in mind, Jiraiya made a decision: he should perhaps take on more of his necessary responsibilities.

Moreover, the Hokage, Yuki, is now trying to change the status quo of the ninja world. Perhaps this is also his opportunity—a chance to realize his ideals and stop "going against the tide"!

"Should I become the 'Child of Prophecy' myself? Although it seems somewhat rebellious, but..."

Jiraiya lowered his head, silently muttering to himself. After a while, his gaze became even more determined, and he raised his head to look at the haori.

"But rather than looking for others, I have already seen the direction the world is heading, so I must take on this responsibility."

We can't place our hopes on others. We've been going against the grain for so long; it's time for me to do something to break free from this fate!

"Teacher, I support you!"

Before Yuri could speak, Minato had already smiled, and the Third Hokage nodded slightly.

Both Tsunade and Tobirama Senju crossed their arms and remained silent, but Tsunade's gaze changed slightly.

It seemed like praise, or perhaps a sigh, while Tobirama Senju looked completely pitying, but he did seem relieved.

"I look forward to your performance, Jiraiya-senpai."

Yuri smiled and nodded. Although she didn't know exactly how much Jiraiya had been influenced by her "chicken soup for the soul," he seemed to be doing quite well so far.

Yuzhi never believed in any "children of prophecy." In his view, it was better to believe in oneself than in others!

Just like how he knew that Naruto and Sasuke could shoulder the responsibility in the future, he would still choose to do it himself unless he was really no longer capable.

Relying on heaven, earth, parents, or even others is not as good as relying on yourself!

"Keep up the good work!"

Tobirama Senju remained silent for a moment before speaking, then looked at Haori.

"It seems we all underestimated the Sage of Six Paths."

"Forehead"

Yuzhi felt a little awkward, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"That's right."

The third generation leader nodded in agreement and sighed.

"Everything was planned, everything was calculated by him. So that's why there are people like Jiraiya who are so out of place."

"Jiraiya-sensei, you've really worked hard."

Minato nodded in agreement, then looked at Jiraiya, who had regained his smile, and said softly.

"Thankfully, it's all coming to an end. This cruel fate... the Sage of Six Paths is good in every way, except..."

"It's too cruel and heartless."

"."

Yuzhi scratched his head, at a loss for words. He truly felt he had stumbled upon a major problem.

"."

The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo, stared wide-eyed, his gaze filled with confusion and helplessness.

No, I did this kind of thing too?

Was it I who made them go against the tide of the times, made them endure a century of loneliness, and made them lone heroes?

No, what you're saying is so touching, but why am I the one who has to bear all the consequences?

Could it be that I orchestrated all of this?

No, I don't think so.

"Honestly, there are so many materials needed and it's so troublesome."

In the forest, Madara Uchiha walked along a stream with a bored expression, pondering the matter of his resurrection.

Both Haori and Hikari awakened the Rinnegan, and Haori, even before she had the Rinnegan, defeated a real Otsutsuki.

Such pressure and achievements truly stirred some emotions within him. He has always been a competitive person, a fact he would never deny.

With such achievements and records, Yu Zhi wanted to have a match no matter what.

Whether it's a contest against those Otsutsuki or a battle with Haori, all of this can only be accomplished if he is resurrected!

He was actually prepared for a fight with Yuzhi, and even Yuzhi knew that they would fight each other in the future.

Because it was uncertain when the next wave of outsiders would arrive, Madara Uchiha needed to return to the Akatsuki organization and become the biggest villain in the ninja world!

Madara didn't care what role he played; his greatest desire was for peace in the ninja world.

The opportunity is right in front of him, and he must seize it no matter what, he must do something about it.

However, what's frustrating him right now is that it will be very difficult for him to be resurrected.

The first thing is the materials for the Impure World Reincarnation. He needs to maintain his peak condition after being resurrected, instead of being a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child like he is now.

"With this much power, what kind of strength can they unleash? It's enough to easily defeat Hyuga Neji, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uzumaki Naruto, but..."

The thought of those three brats made Madara feel somewhat annoyed. That bastard Yuu was really inhuman, actually asking him to train his disciples.

Madara really didn't want to do this, but he had no choice but to do it because of those three unconvinced brats.

Especially when he saw that guy with a full head of blond hair, for some reason he had an urge to teach him a lesson.

As for Sasuke, although he felt a sense of familiarity, his awful personality made him want to punch him a couple of times.

However, unlike the others in Konoha who only dared to think about it, he truly thought it and actually did it.

Hagoromo had seen Kushina drag Mikoto to him countless times, and the disgruntled look in her eyes always made him feel embarrassed.

The bruises on Sasuke's and Naruto's faces, and even Neji's, faces looked rather comical.

Haori also went to Madara about this, but what pleased Madara was that although Haori was blaming him, the direction of her blaming was quite unique.

"Don't hit someone in the face, it's unsightly to leave marks. If you hit someone while they're wearing clothes, it's fine, no one can tell anyway."

You can even wrap a piece of cloth around your hand, and the mark might not even be visible.

After hearing these words, Madara realized that although he hadn't spent much time with those three kids, he was certain that he had left a deep impression and memories on them.

After all, he had vented his frustration on those three little guys, but no matter how much he beat them up, it wouldn't make a difference now.

"If I want Obito to use the Rinnegan to revive me, then I have to trick Obito into getting the Rinnegan."

Ban stopped by the stream, muttering to himself.

"I also need to seriously consider how to deal with Nagato. Nagato is very obedient and is currently cooperating with Haori. I can't just kill him casually."

So I need to think about what will happen to him, and Obito might not necessarily obey, or even use Rinne Rebirth on me.

So we need to find someone to control him, Black Zetsu, right?

The thought of Black Zetsu caused Madara's brows to furrow even more. He hadn't forgotten that someone was deceiving him, someone was leading him toward the abyss!

Ban doesn't know who this person is, nor can he say for sure, because everyone around him is actually suspicious.

Including this, which he believed was formed by his Yin-Yang Escape technique, representing the product of his will!

"Since I can infuse my will into this Yin-Yang Release life form, can others do the same?"

Madara couldn't help but think about it, and what puzzled him even more was Black Zetsu's performance!

"Obito Uchiha has gone so far as to attack Uchiha Haori and Uchiha Hotaru, and also exposed the Akatsuki organization prematurely with the Nine-Tails."

And what he did afterwards to reclaim his other eye, and...

Many years ago, that guy led the Akatsuki organization to Konoha and caused a chaotic battle, completely exposing the Akatsuki organization to Konoha's eyes.

Although the outcome was good, if viewed from another perspective, Obito was a complete disaster. His actions can only be described as "too numerous to count"!

However, he has done so many unforgivable things, so why is he still alive? Why has Black Zetsu never taken any action?

Is this Black Zetsu truly his will, or was it from the very beginning?

"What a hassle!"

Ban cursed in frustration. He looked down at the stones at his feet, then squatted down, picked one up, and began to collect it.

He stood up, looked at the calm river in front of him, and suddenly threw a stone into the water.

Puff, puff—

In just two strokes, the stone sank to the bottom, which immediately made Ban's face darken.

"Tch, has it been too long since you've lost it? It feels so rusty now?"

Unconvinced, Ban once again aimed at the opposite bank and launched the stone.

Puff, puff, puff—

He made some progress, but still sank to the bottom of the river in the middle, which made Ban, who was already unhappy, even angrier.

"What's going on? They can't even throw stones? I refuse to believe it!"

Ban snorted softly. He picked up the last stone in his hand and tossed it, but just as he was aiming at how to throw it, he realized that...

Suddenly a stone flew out from behind him, bouncing lightly across the river.

One, two, three times, it didn't sink to the bottom of the river but maintained its rhythm and finally crossed the river, landing steadily on the other side.

"When you throw it, lift it up slightly, that's the secret."

Just then, a voice rang in Ban's ear, which made him turn around in annoyance.

However, at this moment he was completely stunned, because what appeared in front of him was actually an idiot with an extremely tacky watermelon head and extremely retro clothes!

Upon seeing this idiot, he seemed somewhat dazed.

"Where am I?"

Inside the Hokage's office, accompanied by the hand seals of a haori, a boy who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old with a watermelon-shaped haircut looked around blankly.

But when he saw Tobirama Senju's dark, old face, he was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Tobirama and spoke.

"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you Tobirama?! You're dead too!"

"idiot!"

Tobirama Senju's fists were clenched; he was really about to break down. The Third Hokage, standing to the side, was also having a bit of a headache.

He knew a little about the First Hokage, even though he was young at the time. Besides leaving him with powerful and magnificent memories, the Hokage had also left him with a deep impression of the First Hokage.

And then there are the unreliable things that happen afterward.

Tsunade covered her face, seemingly unable to bear her grandfather, while Minato and Jiraiya stared blankly at the boy in front of them.

The two of them seemed a little confused as to why the First Hokage seemed somewhat 'unreliable'.

As for why the First Hokage looked so small at this moment, they didn't find it strange at all.

When Hagoromo uses the Impure World Reincarnation technique, some strange effects always occur, as if he has very high requirements for the offerings.

If the quality of the offerings is poor, the resurrected individuals will exhibit differences in strength based on the quality of the offerings.

Sometimes they even wondered if a poor offering could somehow awaken a baby for them.

After Hagoromo dealt with Jiraiya, the next issue to address was whether the First Hokage could possess the Rinnegan.

Whether Hashirama Senju possessed the Rinnegan is actually hard to say.

The Rinnegan and Sharingan are indeed two pairs of eyes, but whether they are no longer the "same pair of eyes" in a broad sense is still somewhat controversial.

Both the Rinnegan and Sharingan are essentially derived from mutations of the God Tree's power.

The most typical example is the Sage of Six Paths. He originally had the Byakugan, but after his fiancée was "hanged from a tree" by his mother, he directly activated the Sharingan.

He awakened the Rinnegan when he killed his younger brother Hamura, who was being controlled by his mother, and was filled with grief and anger.

"Therefore, the Rokudo's three tomoe are actually equivalent to the Eternal Eye, and his 'Mangekyou' is directly the Rinnegan."

Yuzhi couldn't help but complain in his heart, but this gave him a feeling that the Rinnegan and Sharingan were not the same pair of eyes in the traditional sense.

After all, some abilities are not inherited from one another, but the Sharingan is obviously the foundation for activating the Rinnegan.

The Sage of Six Paths has already demonstrated all of this through his own experience, while those outsiders, the reason they have one Rinnegan after another, doesn't mean they actually have Sharingan.

"That's because the power of their Divine Tree fruit hasn't degenerated, nor has it been weakened by inheritance; their Rinnegan is naturally still the Rinnegan!"

Therefore, Yuri felt that there were only two ways to obtain the Rinnegan. The first was to follow the path of Uchiha Madara.

It was obtained through the enhancement of the Sharingan combined with the "Power of All Things in the World," but another way is much simpler: just eat a fruit from the Divine Tree, and you'll have everything.

Haori did not fully share his conjectures with Tobirama Senju and the others. He only told Tobirama that "the chance is very slim." In addition, Haori also gave Tobirama a hint.

"I have always suggested that the First Generation inform him of many things, as it is a form of respect. He doesn't need to be too powerful or fight for us."

Let him see Konoha, then explain these issues to him and let him make his own judgment, just like when we resurrected you using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Was I the one you reincarnated from the dead back then?

Tobirama Senju was a little nervous. Haori's words were simply unreliable, and in his opinion, Haori's Impure World Reincarnation technique was also extremely unreliable!

Kakashi's father is younger than Kakashi, and the monkey's wife looks about the same age as his son. Are you trying to create a family drama, or what?

Tobirama Senju is now considering whether to send the monkey to ask Tsunade to teach him the Yin Seal.

Although it's just burying one's head in the sand, it still has some effect.

It works too.

Despite having various thoughts in their minds, Tobirama Senju and the others still told the newly awakened Hashirama Senju about the relevant matters.

For example, the ninja world is currently in a period of great strife, and everything in the ninja world is driven by the Sage of Six Paths, a cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruel mastermind.

Of course, all of this is for the sake of the ninja world, so that everyone can cope with future crises, and so on.

As Tobirama Senju spoke with great enthusiasm, the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo, hidden within the dimensional space, hardened his fist once more, while Hashirama Senju listened, completely bewildered.

When he heard that Yuzhi, as an Uchiha, had become the Fifth Hokage, a happy smile spread across his face.

When he heard that everything was a backup plan by the Sage of Six Paths, and that his break with Madara was just like that of their ancestor, he couldn't help but sigh.

When he heard that an enemy had appeared and that the ninja world needed to unite its forces and take action, he felt somewhat dejected.

Only after he had finished speaking did he look at Yuzhi.

"Hello, Fifth Hokage."

"Um, hello."

Although Yuzhi was used to seeing old guys being resurrected as little devils by his Edo Tensei, he still felt somewhat embarrassed looking at the watermelon-headed guy in front of him.

"I never thought I'd actually see an Uchiha become Hokage."

Young Hashirama smiled brightly and sincerely, looking at Hagoromo with great joy, but soon sighed helplessly.

"It's a real shame, though, that I'm not the first Uchiha to become Hokage."

Who would want to?

Tobirama Senju couldn't help but roar inwardly. He was about to lose control of his idiotic older brother, and he spoke up directly.

"Now is not the time for nonsense. What I want to ask you now is, what is your opinion on this matter?"

"Will they be resurrected and fight alongside us, or...?"

"You're still the same as before, Tobirama."

Hashirama wasn't surprised at all by his younger brother's impatient nature; he had long been used to it after being together for so many years.

Even his younger brother would turn around and yell at him for making mistakes, which he said he was used to and didn't think much of it.

Of course, if his younger brother really goes too far, he will still show the demeanor of an older brother and let Tobirama know why he is the younger brother.

"Of course I know you're anxious, but the current Hokage hasn't said anything yet, and you're already in such a hurry. Aren't you overstepping your bounds?"

Don't forget, you're not the Hokage anymore.

"."

Tobirama Senju froze for a moment, and the Third Hokage and Minato exchanged bewildered glances. Why did this scene seem so familiar?

Even Yuzhi couldn't help but touch his chin at this moment, wondering if there was something wrong with the people in front of him.

Otherwise, why would Hagoromo still feel that Danzo is a lingering ghost even though he's already dead?

"Actually, I think we don't need to rush to a conclusion. Let the First Generation think about it some more."

Yuzhi tilted his head, and finally spoke with a smile.

"Besides, he has only just woken up and doesn't understand many things yet. Rather than forcing him to express his opinion right away, it's better to let him see things around."

Look at Konoha now, look at everything. Anyway, he's not as eye-catching as he was on the statue anymore. I think he can see everything he wants to see.

Hagoromo's words made Hashirama Senju smile and nod. Making a decision right after coming out was indeed a bit difficult for him.

He would absolutely do his duty without hesitation in a time of crisis, but it's not an emergency now.

Even though he was indeed a little nervous, everything was still within a controllable range. He had just woken up and was indeed full of unfamiliarity and curiosity about everything.

He naturally hoped to have some time to absorb and understand everything that was happening.

However, what Hagoromo said made Tobirama Senju somewhat unhappy, and he turned his head and glared at the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage gave an awkward laugh. Back then, Tobirama Senju had encountered Danzo's rebellion immediately after his resurrection, with absolutely no time to prepare.

"In that case, I'll go out and take a look."

Hashirama Senju glanced around, and after some thought, he spoke.

"Although I've been awakened, something still feels off."

The Impure World Reincarnation technique is a violation of common sense, and even though I understand the implications, I still want to calm down.

Just like the Fifth Generation said, give me some time now, okay?

Although the first generation leader intended to quit as soon as he appeared, no one present objected to it.

After all, not everyone is like Tobirama Senju, who was so eager to participate in government affairs as soon as he woke up. Besides, Hashirama Senju's personality was quite different.

It's perfectly normal for him to want to calm down and have more time to think.

Watching Hashirama Senju leave alone, Tobirama Senju frowned, and after a long while, he let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, still the same as before, this guy."

"After all, not everyone is like you, always thinking about causing trouble as soon as they wake up."

Upon hearing this, Yui couldn't help but tease Tobirama Senju, which immediately drew an angry glare from the second Hokage.

However, Yuzhi didn't mind. After thinking for a moment, he spoke up.

"Let's wait and see what he thinks. In addition, you should also make some preparations. Regardless of whether he agrees or not, your preparations are necessary."

Whether you give it to him or use it yourself, it's fine. After all, even if you're a bit weak, you still have value for the future.

"You bastard, what do you mean?!"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju couldn't hold back any longer, even though he admitted that he was indeed far inferior to his older brother.

But that was still compared to his older brother. He had never been afraid of anyone else!

While they were arguing, Hashirama Senju stood on his own statue, looking down at Konoha.

"Konoha has really changed a lot. And I didn't expect that I had been dead for so long. Now the Hokage of Konoha is the Uchiha."

As Hashirama Senju gazed into the distance, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welled up inside him.

He has now returned to his childhood under the influence of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but he doesn't think there's anything wrong with that.

In that era of war, he and Ban stood here overlooking the world, determined to create a village that would protect everyone.

And now he is standing in the same place again, at the same age. Konoha has been established, and everything looks wonderful.

"But now, I can't see you anymore."

Hashirama Senju shook his head with a sigh. Even though he was the one who stabbed Madara Uchiha in the back, he still regarded Madara as his best friend.

Turning around, Hashirama Senju also walked towards the forest; he didn't want to see the prosperity of Konoha right now.

Just as he told Yuzhi, what he wanted most now was a bit of peace; he needed to think about more things.

Especially since he had just woken up and heard so much information, his brain was feeling a bit swollen, and he naturally wanted some peace and quiet.

"How could I not have imagined that the other side of this world would be like this? Sage of Six Paths, although you did the right thing, this is just too cruel."

Recalling what his little brother had said earlier, Hashirama Senju couldn't help but murmur a reply.

In an instant, he seemed to feel some resentment enveloping him, but when he looked around, he found no one there, which left him somewhat bewildered.

Continuing into the woods, he soon came across a small river and heard some noises, which surprised him somewhat.

"Anyone here? How interesting."

Senju Hashirama was a little curious, so he slowly walked over there, but at that moment he froze.

Because he saw a guy with a spiky head throwing stones at the opposite bank, the way he was throwing the stones was just like back then.

At that moment, Hashirama Senju felt as if he had been transported to another world, and he subconsciously picked up a pebble from the ground and walked over.
