I won’t go into any subsequent speculation about the Uchiha clan—mainly because there’s nothing to go into.

They had some wild guesses, but I was already sure of the result. And when we were about to come out, they looked at me with obvious surprise.

Although I knew that my identity was mysterious before, I never thought it would be so strange.

Just thinking about it is like an old monster.

The stone tablet was altered hundreds of years ago, and what I meant is that I haven't been back for so long that I only discovered it now.

When I think about it this way, how long is my “too long”?

I swear to God, I didn't intend to give myself an old monster persona at first, but there's no other way. Hei Zetsu has already thought of this to this extent, I can't let him down, right?

If you continue to stick to your original personality, it might cause problems in your cognitive system.

So, I chose to lie down and accept it.

After I came out, I had to go meet the planner.

To be precise, it was the planner who invited me to meet her.

"I'm already handling Danzo's affairs, and I won't hide the results from you." Tsunade sat in the Hokage's office.

There are no extra people in the room.

Konoha suffered a lot of damage in the Pain incident, and many buildings were destroyed. The casualties are being counted, but fortunately there is a very strong medical ninja like Tsuna, otherwise this painful number would have been multiplied several times.

Precisely because of these turbulent times, Danzo's affairs are not at the top of the priority list and will inevitably have to be postponed.

I understand.

And there was actually something else she wanted to discuss with me.

"You mentioned my second grandfather the other day. You seem to be very familiar with them?" Tsunade really cares about this. "He has been dead for many years. The Senju clan also began to decline when I was very young. I have tried to find the answer over the years, but to no avail."

Speaking of tribes, the sense of identity revealed in Tsuna's words is obviously not as strong as that of Itachi and Sasuke.

It seems that the concept of the Senju clan had disappeared quite completely when she was young, so the group concept that she identified with in her heart was the village of "Konoha" rather than the clan.

In a sense, this is actually a good thing.

After all, this was what Judy wanted to achieve in the first place.

Let everyone's identification with the family be completely transferred to the village.

"And my grandfather..." Tsunayoshi had very few memories of Hashirama, so when she mentioned him, she was speechless.

But I understood what she meant.

So I asked, "Do you think the demise of the Senju clan was an accident?"

I don't understand - why didn't Black Zetsu stop the extinction of the Senju and Uchiha clans, as well as the Uzumaki clan? Was he sure that there would be no accidents in this generation and that they would definitely succeed?

What if he fails? Wouldn't he have no chance to try again?

The demise of these two tribes is clearly not in the interests of the Black Absolute.

Or was he trying to lock onto the chakra reincarnation of Indra and Asura? Theoretically, as long as the reincarnation of these two people must appear among their descendants, the fewer the descendants, the faster it will be locked.

But a moment's thought will tell you that this is not true.

Because Sasuke was born before the clan was destroyed.

Could it be that a man like Black Zetsu would really put everything on Madara alone?

Or is there some force here that he cannot resist?

"...I don't believe it." Tsuna answered me.

Although the truth about the Uchiha clan has not yet been forced out of the advisory group, it is certain that its demise was not an accident.

Then the demise of the Thousand Hands of the same level is definitely not an accident.

This is not difficult to guess.

I asked again, "Do you think your grandfather's death was an accident?"

Gangshou's eyes sharpened, and he stood up from his seat, "What do you mean, my grandfather's death was——!"

Her thoughts were turning over and over again, and her breathing became rapid.

The death of Senju Hashirama directly led to the outbreak of the First Ninja World War. Hashirama should have been in his prime at that time. How could a sage body die so easily?

"You should have experienced how strong the vitality of the Senju clan is. If someone possesses Wood Release, his vitality will only be stronger."

What I said is all fact, and the planners have experienced it deeply, so they will naturally believe it without a doubt.

"That is to say, there is someone..."

I immediately broke Tsuna's hand, "Hashirama, who has awakened Wood Release, has inherited the 'body of a sage'. External forces can hardly cause him any harm."

This is not a conclusion I drew from the original work.

It's from fan works.

Or should I say it evolved from the plots in the novels written by my gay friend in his early years - when I say early years, I actually mean the period when Naruto had just finished, and all the major forums and message boards were discussing the unfilled holes in Naruto, and my gay friend and I joined in the fun.

Although my friend didn't reveal the plot in the end due to various reasons, he did discuss the plot with me.

Everything stems from our CP eyes. There is no way, who told everyone in Naruto to be so gay. Look at Hashirama and Madara--"You are my inspiration" when they open their mouths, "Hashirama is the strongest" when they close their mouths. Konoha was named by Madara based on Hashirama's Wood Style, and Hokage was named by Hashirama based on Madara's Fire Style. When the battlefield was at a critical moment, Hashirama could actually make Madara sit down and wait for him with just one word "wait".

Is this reasonable?

Is this right?

In addition, with Hashirama's Wood Release body, even Madara-sama couldn't kill him. Will there be anyone in the era after tomorrow who can defeat Hashirama?

The answer must be no.

In that case, the only explanation left is old wounds or heartache, right?

Of course, this explanation is not complete.

"His wounds are on the inside, not on the outside."

"It is true that the battle in the Valley of the End did consume too much of his strength, but it also wore away a lot of his emotions. He and Madara founded Konoha together, but in the end they parted ways, even to the point where they had to draw swords against each other. In the end, he was alone on his ideal path. Before Konoha was founded, when they were still young, he and Madara had made a promise to "walk together". This promise helped him establish a sense of identity, but later..." I paused, the meaning was self-evident, "Loneliness can kill people. Although he is called the God of Ninja, Hashirama Senju is only one person. No matter how powerful he is, he is only one person."

I'm putting it mildly. Although I really support the couple, I don't completely believe that there is anything going on between Hashirama and Madara.

Not to mention that Hashirama has a wife and children, this responsible man would not do such a thing as a marriage of convenience. More importantly, both Madara and Hashirama are very career-oriented and have their own ideals to achieve.

In front of ideals and careers, love is too insignificant. Even if there was a budding feeling in youth, it would have been completely strangled long ago.

The two of them have a feeling of mutual admiration. It is lonely at the top and no one wants to stand alone at the top all the time.

However, after I said these words, I felt a subtle sense of disharmony.

It's like I've overlooked something.

All comics are mostly told from the perspective of the protagonist. Although there are times when the perspective switches, a lot of invisible content becomes particularly important when you actually enter this world.

This feeling of uneasiness probably comes from the incomplete information I have, but there's nothing I can do about it.

After listening to my explanation, the planner calmed down a little and sat down again. "My grandfather always went to the Valley of the End alone. No one knew what he was going to do."

What else can I do? Reminisce about my lost youth.

"It's a process, but there are indeed people who are fanning the flames." I took a sip of water to moisten my throat. "He doesn't need to be so sad, because Madara didn't die in the first place."

The outliner, who had just calmed down, was now stirred up by my words.

"Impossible! Uchiha Madara's death was confirmed and recorded by my grandfather himself. He would not be careless about such a big issue!" Tsunade knew Hashirama Senju's character very well.

No matter how generous and gentle he looks, he is just as strong as Madara. Although Tobirama always looks like the fierce Hashirama, when it comes to big things, Hashirama can have the final say.

It is precisely because of this strength that his serious attitude has become the rope that maintains this dignity. In the face of major issues, Hashirama will not show favoritism. He said that he killed Madara, so he will never let him go.

What's more, the Nine-Tails was indeed brought back to Konoha Village and sealed in Mito's body.

"Hashirama is of course convinced, but you should have seen that the Uchiha clan's forbidden technique, "Izanagi", can change all current unfavorable situations for oneself, even death." There is no need for me to hide this matter.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, Mr. Madara should be resurrected soon, right?

This is different from the original work's initial reincarnation.

The fact that Black Zetsu did not dig out Nagato's Rinnegan and take it away, but directly kidnapped Nagato himself, shows that he needed someone who could use the Rinnegan.

He needs the "Art of Reincarnation".

Resurrect Mr. Ban according to the original plan.

They don't even need Nagato's own consent. As we can see from the scene where Madara stabbed Obito in the back, Black Zetsu has the ability to sneak into other people's bodies and force them to use the "Reincarnation Technique".

It can also be considered a trump card.

After I became an unexpected factor, he had to quickly put everything back on his "right track".

Although the Nine-Tails has not been collected yet, and I don't have any news about the Eight-Tails. But instead of letting Obito fight alone to seize the remaining tailed beasts, it is better to let the powerful Uchiha Madara join in from the very beginning.

After Madara-sama was resurrected by the "Reincarnation Technique", there was just enough time to transplant the Rinnegan back into him and then introduce him to the current situation.

The success rate of this approach is naturally higher than that of the original work.

The reason why Madara was not resurrected before the war was simply because there was no one qualified to use the Rinnegan to use the "Reincarnation Technique", and at that time, it was not possible to kill Obito directly.

Now that Nagato is still here, there is naturally no need to worry about this.

Hei Jue would never want to alert Mr. Ban before the last moment.

So I guess he won't let Madara-sama to deal with me. In the original work, Madara-sama had the Rinnegan directly pressed into the eye socket on the battlefield, but in reality it takes some time to transplant the Sharingan.

The main reason why there were no major problems at the time was due to the neutralization of Wood Release, which is actually risky.

Now we can avoid this risk.

I rubbed my fingers together - I wonder if the Five Kage meeting will ever happen again.
