“He even guaranteed that he would not start a war. Of course I would waver at that point. How could I refuse to continue existing as an independent village?” Shihe sighed.

"Actually, the latter is the reason why you decided to never mention merging into Konoha, right?" Kitahara Kaede said.

"The Tailed Beasts are indeed a powerful force for us, but who doesn't know that Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha treated them like toys? If he hadn't said he wouldn't start a war, we wouldn't have given up on the idea of ​​incorporating Konoha," Ishigawa said.

“A fool’s words are actually quite convincing, because a fool doesn’t break his promise,” the First Raikage said.

"So if Hashirama Senju had died at the hands of Madara Uchiha back then, you would have come to demand to be incorporated into Konoha, right?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

“Yes, because Madara Uchiha isn’t stupid. The best option when facing him is what you said.” Ishigawa nodded.

Tobirama Senju, standing to the side, had already closed his eyes, unwilling to offer his opinion.

“But the result was that both Grandpa and Madara Uchiha died…” Tsunade said.

"Hash Hot Mom! Did you hear that?! It's all your fault, you idiot, that you messed things up!"

"Damn it, I didn't know they were thinking that way!" (bddg)

Suddenly, two arguing voices rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju have appeared here in their Edo Tensei forms.

"Ahem~ I just thought that since everyone is discussing their affairs, why not call the parties involved over to listen?" Orochimaru said, flicking his tongue with a hint of mischievousness.

He was the one who used the Impure World Reincarnation technique this time.

Orochimaru had already collected Hashirama Senju's body tissue, and as for Madara Uchiha's body tissue, he had obtained it from Kabuto Yakushi.

Madara Uchiha, dressed in red armor, was poking Hashirama Senju's shoulder with his finger, appearing somewhat agitated.

As for Hashirama Senju, he was already in a depressed state. After learning about the First Kage's thoughts, he was now questioning his own intelligence.

"I suspect there's something wrong with my IQ," Hashirama Senju muttered to himself, looking quite dejected.

"No doubt about it, there's definitely something wrong!" Madara Uchiha continued poking Hashirama Senju with his finger.

“But Madara Uchiha, you didn’t die back then, did you? After Hashirama Senju died, you could have just come out and taken over everything,” Kitahara Kaede said.

He won't tolerate Madara Uchiha.

“That’s right. After your brother died, there’s no one in the ninja world who can stop you. If you just step forward, the ninja world will be unified, right?” Tobirama Senju said slyly.

Madara Uchiha was stunned on the spot.

He survived by using Izanagi, but he only lost one Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

It didn't actually have much of an impact on his combat ability.

If this guy wanted to, he could activate Susanoo even without a single Sharingan, let alone just one.

"Madara, it seems your IQ isn't that high after all!" Hashirama Senju suddenly broke free from his slump and poked Madara Uchiha's shoulder with his finger.

"No! I was waiting for the Rinnegan to awaken!" Madara Uchiha suddenly realized, but he wasn't very confident at the moment.

"Actually, you were just completely fooled by Black Zetsu." Kitahara Kaede didn't give Uchiha Madara any face at all.

Madara Uchiha fell silent once again; he couldn't refute it...

"Having heard so much, and since you've all been resurrected by Edo Tensei, do you want to be resurrected? Now that enemies have appeared in the ninja world, even threatening its peace, it's time to use your strength," Kitahara Kaede said casually.

"want!"

"Of course!"

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju gave their answers directly.

Standing a little further away, Onoki chuckled secretly. He had a chance to repay Madara Uchiha for what he had suffered back then!

Chapter 887 Promise

It didn't take long to revive Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. The two were currently staring blankly at their bodies, which had returned to their peak condition.

Normally, Madara Uchiha should have shown some arrogance and haughtiness at this point, but he was preoccupied with the previous topic.

He missed more than one opportunity to unify the ninja world and achieve peace, which was a significant blow to him.

"Let's go see what Konoha looks like now. It's been over ten years since I last saw it," Hashirama Senju invited.

Hashirama Senju's feelings for Madara Uchiha were very complex; he was both a friend and a nemesis.

They are partners moving forward together towards a common goal, and also rivals fighting over their own ideas.

"Konoha now?" Madara Uchiha asked hesitantly.

He recalled how he used to frighten the children of Konoha when he walked on the street, and he still felt a little uneasy.

"Tobirama, I said back then that I would make Madara the Hokage. Now that you think about it, what did you do back then?" Hashirama Senju asked.

“Yes, back then I thought that Madara Uchiha was not suitable to be Hokage, and this was not out of personal bias,” Tobirama Senju said.

Madara Uchiha was indeed exceptionally talented back then; as Hokage, he was able to manage all the affairs of the village with remarkable efficiency.

Madara Uchiha lacked the most important quality of a Hokage: approachability!

"Madara's arrogance is ingrained in his bones, so the villagers fear and respect him, but they don't get close to him," Tobirama Senju explained.

"But Second Grandfather, you don't actually have much of a friendly personality, do you?" Tsunade retorted.

"If my idiot brother hadn't died, I wouldn't have become Hokage!" Tobirama Senju said.

“At that time, Konoha truly had no other choice.” Kitahara Kaede spoke up for Senju Tobirama.

At that time, Konoha's situation was not much better than it was before the Second Hokage died in battle.

Just like Tobirama Senju chose Hiruzen Sarutobi, Konoha at that time had no other choice.

"So, who is your choice for the Second Hokage?" Hashirama Senju asked.

Hashirama Senju looked serious; he was actually quite concerned about this issue. The name he wanted to hear right now was "Madara Uchiha"!

“We all know about Big Brother’s Sage Body. If he hadn’t been affected by Ashura’s chakra and died young, he could still maintain overwhelming combat power even when he was seventy or eighty years old,” Tobirama Senju said.

"So you're saying you plan to make me Hokage until I'm seventy or eighty?" Hashirama Senju asked, somewhat taken aback.

"What I mean is that Konoha will have enough time to cultivate an excellent second Hokage by then!" Tobirama Senju said angrily.

He could never control his anger towards his dim-witted older brother.

"Then why didn't you think about changing Madara and making him the Second Hokage?" Hashirama Senju asked.

"Brother, put your hand on your heart and tell me, is Madara the kind of person who would change himself?" Tobirama Senju said, looking at Madara.

"Who knows? Maybe he'll calm down a bit as he gets older?" Hashirama Senju said.

He still believes that Madara is an excellent candidate to become Hokage.

"You can ask Obito Uchiha, who was harmed so terribly by him," Tobirama Senju remarked.

Even the aging Madara Uchiha couldn't suppress his ruthless nature, making Hashirama Senju's ideas somewhat idealistic.

“Now you have a chance too,” Kitahara Kaede suddenly said.

"I've discussed this with my partners before, and we need to limit the time a person can hold the position of Shadow. It won't be something they can do indefinitely," Kitahara Kaede explained briefly.

The implication was that Madara Uchiha could try running for office if he wanted to.

"That's a great idea!" Hashirama Senju suddenly became excited; the simple-minded guy's emotions came and went quickly.

He has shaken off his previous depression.

"Actually, it's not good at all. Right now, I have no chance of gaining Konoha's approval, so naturally I won't have the opportunity to become Hokage," Madara Uchiha calmly analyzed.

His actions over the years have caused immense trauma to the ninja world.

It is extremely difficult for those who have been traumatized to forgive him, and Madara Uchiha would never regret what he did.

· ···Request flowers··· ······

This guy is known for his stubbornness and headstrong nature.

“But you can become the head of the Uchiha clan again,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"This is what you really want me to do, isn't it? That kid Fugaku Uchiha, although he has good talent, he's not fit to be the clan leader," Madara Uchiha said.

He guessed Kitahara Kaede's plan, but he still wanted to hear more.

"The ninja world will inevitably expand. It will transition from countless villages gathering on this planet to each village occupying its own planet, and then later, perhaps each ninja clan will occupy an entire planet. Aren't you tempted?"

....... .... 0

Kitahara Kaede said in a somewhat seductive tone.

"Of course I'm tempted, but that's too far in the future, and how many members of the Uchiha clan are left?" Madara Uchiha said with a hint of self-deprecation.

Although Obito and Itachi were the ones who carried out the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, Madara Uchiha was also involved to some extent in doing so.

Although he wasn't the kind of person who held grudges, he wouldn't easily forget the betrayal he suffered at the hands of his clan.

“Now is the best opportunity. You are the clan leader who was betrayed by your clan, and the last Uchiha clan was betrayed by their clan leader. Perhaps you two can get along well?” Kitahara Kaede said with a smile.

Kitahara Kaede's words made Senju Tobirama realize the feasibility of this matter!

Fugaku Uchiha betrayed his clan for the sake of his son, so it was impossible for him to continue serving as the clan leader.

Once all the Uchiha are resurrected, conflict is inevitable.

Just because something is fixed doesn't mean it never happened. It's like hammering a nail into a board; even if you pull the nail out, the scar remains.

However, if Madara Uchiha were to appear as their clan leader, then this problem would no longer be a problem.

There's no need to even guess what choices the Uchiha clan members will make!

“I can agree to give it a try, but I can’t guarantee success,” Madara Uchiha said.

He wouldn't refuse Kitahara Kaede's kindness!

Chapter 888 Plan

“I agree! Before the ninja world expands outwards, the Uchiha clan’s territory will be completely returned to the Uchiha clan! As for the Fugaku family, I will arrange accommodations for them in the village!”

Tobirama Senju said directly!

Even in the current ninja world, the Uchiha clan is a formidable force!

The Sarutobi clan, for example, could muster several thousand ninjas. While the Uchiha clan, before its extermination, did not have such an exaggerated number of ninjas.

However, it is still possible to gather more than a thousand ninjas!

Members of the Uchiha clan will inevitably undergo ninja training, even if they do not intend to become ninjas of Konoha!

Even those who are removed from the combat ranks and assigned to miscellaneous tasks still possess the strength of an average Genin!

This power was extremely precious before the ninja world truly expanded into the universe!

“In that case, I accept it. But Tobirama Senju, I will not forgive you so easily.” Madara Uchiha looked at Tobirama Senju with a cold face.

This guy killed his brother back then. Although he promised Hashirama Senju that he wouldn't hold it against him, it doesn't mean he's forgotten about it.

"What if I said I preserved Izuna Uchiha's body tissues?" Tobirama Senju said with a wicked grin.

This is not what it used to be. Having physical tissue means that one can be directly resurrected through Edo Tensei, which means one can be directly revived!

With such temptation right in front of him, Madara Uchiha couldn't possibly ignore it.

"Tobirama! Resurrect Izuna with Edo Tensei!" Hashirama Senju said directly.

At this moment, he appeared exceptionally serious, and he seemed to have gained some of the aura of a ninja god.

"As for your secret digging up of Izuna's grave, I'll settle that with you later!" Hashirama Senju said sternly.

Faced with such a powerful figure as Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju had no choice but to agree.

He knew his older brother well. When he was joking around, everything was easy to talk about, but once he got serious, it meant there was no room for negotiation.

"Shouldn't you ask my opinion on this kind of thing?" Kitahara Kaede said with a smile.

Impure World Reincarnation is only a prerequisite for reviving a person; true revival requires Kitahara Kaede's approval to proceed.

"Kid Kitahara Kaede, I beg you to revive my brother! I promise I will restrain myself under any circumstances!"

Madara Uchiha said very sincerely.

The Uchiha clan is a sick clan, but also a clan that understands love.

It's not surprising that Madara Uchiha would choose to bow down for the sake of his younger brother.

"Agree to him. Although saying so might hurt Madara Uchiha's pride, he can't cause any trouble in the ninja world now," Onoki said mischievously.
