"The heretical path, the Samsara technique. The Rinnegan has the power to bring people back to life, but the price is the user's life."

Yun continued slowly, "To revive others at the cost of his own life, Madara must find someone capable of wielding the Rinnegan. And in the ninja world, the Uzumaki clan is renowned for their ability to bear tailed beasts!"

"Leaving behind what he believes to be the embodiment of his own will, he manipulates the Uchiha's descendants. Madara Uchiha awaits the final step in his plan. When that time comes, not only Konoha, but the entire ninja world will be plunged into death."

"That's all the information I have about Madara so far."

Hashirama's gaze turned solemn. After a sigh, he floated into the air and slowly observed everything in Konoha below the Shadow Rock.

This was the prototype of his dream of peace; for the sake of peace, he was willing to abandon even the slightest bit of dignity as a strongman.

For the sake of peace, he could plunge a shuriken into his own heart.

In the name of peace, he ultimately killed his best friend.

But now... the world still hasn't gone in the direction he hoped for.

"If the timeframe is set now, then there must be a lot of information about his future. What Madara considers to be a manifestation of his own will, behind his plan, is probably not as simple as he thinks."

"I am just a dead person, my soul has returned to the Pure Land but still cannot find peace. But if I can only wait to be reborn in the Impure World and for the caster to grant me consciousness, I don't know how long that will take."

Looking at Hashirama Senju, who was lost in thought, Yun sighed helplessly.

It has to be said that some people are born with a unique charm. In comparison, some of the First Hokage's words are more persuasive than Naruto's.

but……

"First generation, decades have passed, and time has proven that what you did back then was wrong."

Hashirama looked over, and Yun continued, "From the first year of Konoha to the end of the Third Shinobi World War, in less than fifty years, three large-scale wars broke out in the shinobi world."

"The formation of ninja villages by uniting clans and combining them with commoner ninjas ultimately led to the larger-scale nature of the war. And all of this happened after you died. Do you know why?"

Hashirama shook his head slightly.

"Because of your power! The power of Wood Release influences the entire ninja world, and the title of God of Shinobi makes everyone afraid to act rashly. Because Hashirama Senju wanted peace, no one in the ninja world dared to fight."

After he finished speaking, Hashirama fell silent.

After a gentle breeze passed, Hashirama slightly raised his head: "Absolute power breeds absolute darkness, and the longer one holds immense power, the more darkness will breed. Perhaps I was truly wrong, but as for how to proceed, my soul in the Pure Land can only offer warnings, not point out the path..."

As Hashirama floated to the front of the cloud, he smiled and said, "Madara is actually quite foolish. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, I could tell from your words that he was definitely being used by someone."

"I don't like a desolate ninja world, and I believe that someone who can speak of such a dream certainly doesn't like it either. So..."

Chapter 18: The Immortal Body

"Then that one chip, whatever you want to get from me, shouldn't be like Madara, wanting to destroy the world."

Hashirama Senju suddenly became somewhat sentimental: "Actually, Madara and I both wanted peace; in fact, he was the one who first expressed his dream of peace. We both experienced the pain of loss during the Warring States period, so..."

"That idiot...he didn't even realize he was being used. But Kong, am I being used by you right now?"

Yun smiled but did not answer the question.

Hashirama Senju waved his hand dismissively: "It doesn't matter. Like I said before, your dream proves that you are not Madara, nor are you someone who wants to destroy this world."

"What is a ninja? What is the meaning of a village's existence? What is the meaning of a ninja's existence? Madara and I were wrong about so many things, but we still don't know where the right answer is."

"Everything needs your verification and improvement of the system. One day, I believe there will be no more wars in this world, and children will no longer need to go to the battlefield..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the first generation, who was a spirit, left.

It wasn't the kind of departure that comes after letting go of one's obsessions through Edo Tensei. He always cared about Konoha and the world, and never let go of his obsessions.

Above the Shadow Rock, looking down at the Konoha Village materialized in the space below, Yun waved his hand.

In the blink of an eye, the entire village vanished like sandstorm.

"Humans are social animals, and when they come together, there will be disputes, and disputes will accumulate resentment."

"The seeds of hatred grow deeper and deeper in people's hearts, and eventually, interests and resources lead people to learn to band together, which is how villages are formed."

"If one day, I will do as you wish... the First Generation!"

[Diagnosing future changes in Hashirama Senju (Pure Land)]

[Dead and unchanged]

[The Fate of Konoha Village Changed]

[Changes to the main world storyline]

[The third layer of the matryoshka doll: Madara Uchiha's fate is altered]

……

[Hashirama Senju (Pure Land) Fate Change Rate: 50.2%]

Earth Release Chakra (Can be fused with bloodline limits)

Water-style chakra (can be fused with bloodline limits)

[Immortal Body (Bloodline)]

……

With only three options available, the changes to Hashirama Senju this time are indeed minor.

In fact, if the crisis had not been announced and the opportunity that the Edo Tensei could provide in the future had not been presented, the degree of change would probably have been even lower.

There were no secret scrolls, no sage techniques, and no wood release techniques.

Fortunately, the bloodline attribute of the Sage Body was preserved by more than 50%, otherwise... it would have been better to choose Obito.

However, Ashura's chakra...

It's unknown whether Hashirama still possessed the power he once had after being reincarnated into Naruto, or whether the exchange could replicate the power that its customers once had.

……

A continuous stream of life force began to surge within Yun's body, inheriting the power of the Sage of Six Paths or Ashura's chakra. This power was sufficient to make up for Yun's current predicament of insufficient chakra.

No, it's not just about making up for what's lacking, it's about far exceeding what's needed.

Feeling the surge of life force within her body, Yun vaguely sensed something unusual.

Extend your palm, and as you concentrate, a faint breeze swirls in your hand before dissipating.

This is... wind-style chakra?

Did Hashirama Senju possess wind-style chakra?

It's true that Ashura has wind attribute, and even in the later Six Paths Mode, he has all seven types of chakra.

But just how much does this immortal body contain?

A thought flashed through Yun's mind in an instant, and he suddenly got up and began rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

"Bang! Thump..."

The sound made while searching was a bit loud.

"cloud……"

The sound of her mother's voice from outside made Yun stop what she was doing and quickly quiet down.

If I get misunderstood again, I'll be in deep trouble tomorrow.

After a long while, Yun, who had sat down again, held a piece of paper in his hand. This was chakra paper, made from a tree that nourished itself with chakra.

In fact, Yun had already taken a test on his proficiency in chakra nature transformation before, but at that time he only possessed the talent for fire-style chakra nature transformation.

So now...

"Shh!"

As expected, one corner of the paper was burned, followed by one side being cut open; this was the wind attribute.

Then, another corner of the paper crumbled, which represents the earth element.

The last piece was soaked as if it had been fished out of water; this is due to its water-related properties.

In this way, of the five chakra nature transformation talents, only the lightning nature talent is not available to him.

The Sage Body, replicated from Hashirama Senju, seems to possess not only some of his talents but also a portion of Ashura's.

So... Wood Release is a bloodline limit created by the fusion of Water Release and Earth Release chakra, but it seems that Hashirama could not pass on this bloodline limit to his offspring.

So, the Wood Release ability seems to be more related to the Sage Body?

What was the mark of the Tree Realm's descent again?

Does Hashirama Senju need to use hand seals?

Does Madara Uchiha need to form hand seals?

My divergent thoughts seemed to recall a certain meme.

……

Outside Konoha Village, Uzumaki Sora was also feeling a sudden surge of life force within his body.

If I had had this much chakra earlier, I wouldn't have died three times. With this kind of vitality, I could probably heal quickly even if you stabbed me in the stomach.

Whirlpool took a moment to complain for a moment, then looked at the building not far away.

Konoha Orphanage.

In fact, after Uzumaki returned to Konoha, he spent most of his nights keeping watch here.

There's nothing we can do. Ever since the Fourth Hokage's fate was altered, Danzo, the scapegoat of Konoha, seems to have changed his surname to turtle, refusing to step forward no matter what.

However, the Root is not a place that the current Cloud Sect can easily penetrate. Insufficient chakra would be suicide, and although it wouldn't have any immediate impact, it would be a waste to expose one's resurrection ability for no reason.

So in the end, Sora chose to keep watch on Danzo, who was likely to come to the Konoha Orphanage during this period.

The place of the wandering shrine maiden and pharmacist Nono is also the place where Kabuto joins the family.

"Boom boom boom!"

A group of three stood in front of the orphanage. The person wearing glasses like Shino later stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A moment later, the orphanage door opened, and the group went inside. The person who opened the door, Nono, had a worried expression on her face from the very beginning.
