In the 10th year of Konoha, when Konoha Village was developing rapidly, it suddenly suffered a heavy blow.

Uchiha Madara, who became the first rebel ninja in the ninja world five years ago, is back. He brought the Nine-Tails which he controlled with illusion. He threatened Konoha Village with the Tailed Beast Ball and forced the First Hokage to have a decisive battle with him.

In the eyes of ninjas, the God of Ninja and the Shura of Ninja World are not ninjas, but gods and ghosts. The battle between them will be extremely exaggerated, and the aftermath of the battle alone is enough to destroy Konoha Village.

So Senju Hashirama fought in person in exchange for Uchiha Madara's agreement to change the battle location.

When the two founders of Konoha Village left, Konoha Village fell into absolute silence. Everyone was worried about the first Hokage, wondering whether he could defeat Uchiha Madara.

For ten years, the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was invincible and established a reputation as the strongest and indestructible ninja. Uchiha Madara was the only ninja who could stand on the same level as him.

Although the establishment of Konoha Village proved that Uchiha Madara was slightly weaker than Senju Hashirama, this time he controlled the Nine-Tails as an assistant, which made the outcome suddenly confusing.

There are many powerful ninjas in Konoha Village, and many of them can deal with the Nine-Tails, but no ninja can deal with the Nine-Tails controlled by Uchiha Madara, not even Senju Tobirama.

When Uchiha Madara controlled the Nine-Tails, the increase in strength was by no means a simple increase. Except for Hashirama Senju, other Konoha ninjas would be in danger of their lives, let alone participating in the battle, even if they just watched from afar.

Before leaving, the first Hokage specifically told his younger brother to keep an eye on the ninjas in the village and not to go with them.

"I don't have the energy to take care of you this time. Going with you will only distract me and may even lead to my failure."

Senju Hashirama ordered in a very serious tone: "Tell all Konoha ninjas that I order: From now on, you are not allowed to leave the village until everything is over."

Senju Tobirama and many ninja clan leaders looked at each other in bewilderment. He asked unwillingly, "Brother, no, First Hokage, how do we know when it will end? And when it's over, how can we find you?"

Senju Hashirama smiled: "Don't worry, you will know."

"Anyway, my orders are to wait and not allow any Konoha ninja to leave Konoha Village."

He took off the Hokage hat on his head, threw off the cumbersome coat, put on red armor, and carried a huge scroll on his back.

After getting dressed for battle, Hashirama Senju walked towards the village gate.

When he saw Uchiha Madara standing at the gate, and the Nine-Tails behind him that was much taller than the gate, Senju Hashirama finally turned around and said to the Konoha ninjas who followed him: "Stop here and don't follow me anymore."

"Any ninja who dares to step out of the gate of Konoha Village will be regarded as a traitor and become the object of Konoha Village's scorn, just like... Uchiha Madara."

After saying that, he used the instant body technique and suddenly appeared next to Uchiha Madara.

Then the two of them used the instant body technique together and disappeared in front of the Konoha ninja with the huge Nine-Tails.

Although it was Tobirama Senju who usually handled various affairs and actually held the power in Konoha Village, Hashirama Senju's prestige was unmatched and no one dared to disobey his orders.

So no one from Konoha Village stood up to support the First Hokage in this battle.

All the Konoha ninjas could only watch as Hashirama Senju followed Uchiha Madara away and completely disappeared in the afterglow of the sunset.

Half an hour later, the last bluish-white color in the west disappeared.

The weather was clear today and the night sky was full of twinkling stars, but no one in Konoha Village looked at them. Their attention was attracted by the huge fireball rising from the northwest.

Five minutes ago, the first huge fireball shot up into the sky, followed by a heart-pounding earthquake, and finally a belated dull roar.

Based on the time difference between the fireball rising and the roar, the Konoha ninjas immediately calculated that the location of the fireball explosion was more than 50 kilometers away from Konoha Village.

This explosion sounded from 50 kilometers away, and the horror of the explosion was simply unimaginable.

It is truly a duel between the God of Ninja and the Shura of the Ninja World. It really is like two gods fighting.

Senju Tobirama was extremely confused at this time, his mind was in a mess, and he had no idea where 50 kilometers was.

He pointed at the fireball and asked loudly, "Does anyone know where the battlefield is?"

Someone from the Konoha ninja answered loudly: "I know that 50 kilometers in this direction is an uninhabited area, a hill with no people living and no roads passing through it."

Suddenly, a blue halo rose from the northwest sky, revealing a half-arch and the obvious outline of a pair of long ears, and then a pair of wings rose above the outline of the rolling mountains and came into the eyes of the ninjas.

The Konoha ninjas were immediately in panic, and almost all of them screamed.

"What is that?"

"It seems to be real chakra. Could it be a creation created by some kind of ninjutsu?"

"With a distance of 50 kilometers and the obstruction of the hills in the distance, the height of the wings must be at least hundreds of meters. This is incredible."

“…”

Not all Konoha ninjas were guessing. A group of senior ninjas led by Senju Tobirama said nothing and looked as ugly as dead people.

These ninjas are the elite among the Konoha ninjas, including the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, as well as the patriarchs and elites of large and medium-sized ninja clans such as the Sarutobi, Aburame, Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi.

They had seen this jutsu before and knew it was Uchiha Madara's Susanoo.

In the first few years after the establishment of Konoha Village, Uchiha Madara was active on the battlefield and demonstrated the awe-inspiring Susanoo many times.

At that time, the Konoha ninjas were deeply shocked but also felt very relieved. Later, in a peaceful environment, they gradually forgot about this azure chakra giant.

When Uchiha Madara chose to defect, the Konoha ninjas, including the Uchiha clan, only felt pity, but did not feel fear or worry, because they still had the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

Now, this forgotten chakra giant has reappeared and is hostile to them. Panic and fear cannot be suppressed in everyone's hearts.

The most frightened ones were the ninjas of the Uchiha clan. These guys were so proud that they always looked down on others. At this moment, their faces were pale and their bodies were trembling, like stray dogs in a snowstorm.

Senju Tobirama could no longer bear it, he shouted: "I judge: now is the moment when everything ends."

The Konoha ninjas were confused and had no idea what this actual Shadow Hokage was talking about.

The Nara clan ninjas reacted quickly, and Nara Shikamai shouted, "Master Tobirama is right, the time is up, we need to support the First Hokage immediately!"

Senju Tobirama was in a better mood and ordered: "All Chunin and Genin will stay in Konoha Village, the Jonin who are responsible for patrol will stay, and the other Jonin will follow me!"

After a pause, he ordered again: "Ninjas who are good at sealing techniques should also come along."

After saying that, he jumped down from the wall and ran towards the northwest where fireballs were rising.

With the reminder from the Nara clan leader, the Konoha ninjas all understood that Tobirama Senju was denying the ban of the first Hokage on the grounds that his judgment was wrong.

As long as everyone follows suit, the soft-hearted First Hokage will not punish anyone. His main principle is that the law does not punish the masses.

The qualified jonin quickly followed, jumped off the wall, and disappeared into the night with Senju Tobirama.

…

In the hilly area, Hashirama Senju stood on a broken cliff, looking up at the hundred-meter-tall blue Susanoo wrapped around the Nine-Tails, and Uchiha Madara on the Nine-Tails' head.

Hashirama Senju was very heartbroken. Although the Uchiha in front of him was his enemy, he was also his closest brother and a comrade-in-arms closer than Tobirama and Mito.

They have lived in two hostile families since childhood, but they both have the dream of bringing peace to the ninja world.

They met by the river, killed each other and fell in love on the battlefield, and finally abandoned the blood of their families, fathers, and brothers, and jointly founded Konoha Village, bringing lasting peace to the Land of Fire.

Unfortunately, after the village was built, they had differences on how to achieve the ultimate ideal of peace, and the result of the dispute was a breakup.

But Hashirama Senju never thought that Uchiha Madara would attack the Konoha Village that he had worked so hard to build.

What is Konoha Village?

For the Konoha ninjas and villagers, Konoha Village is a fortress that can protect themselves, a paradise where their children can grow up safely, a shelter where their parents can spend their old age in peace, and a home worth sacrificing one's life to protect.

For Hashirama Senju, it is the land of hope that he and Uchiha Madara have placed their lifelong dreams on. No matter who wants to harm Konoha Village, they are his mortal enemy.

Even Uchiha Madara.

Senju Hashirama looked at his brother in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart. He asked: "Madara, are you really going to destroy Konoha Village and make all our struggles so far and all our efforts go to waste?"

"There is no point in fighting between us. Continuing the battle will only hurt Konoha Village and the ninjas in the village."

"This is an insult and betrayal to our brothers and comrades who sacrificed their lives!"

Standing on the head of the Nine-Tails, Uchiha Madara was annoyed by what Hashirama Senju said. His hands, tightly gripping the banana fan and the long sickle, had bulging veins and his teeth were grinding.

Uchiha Madara was so angry that he didn't even know what to say.

I made everything clear when I left, so how dare this bastard question me with the words sacrifice and betrayal?

It was obvious that Hashirama Senju was blind and could not see the doomed future, and it was obvious that he was on the wrong path, so why should he be forced to correct himself and stop?

"You... you are simply..."

Before Uchiha Madara could finish the words that came out of his teeth, Senju Hashirama interrupted him: "I don't want to kill you."

This sentence completely angered Uchiha Madara, and made him completely lose his rationality. He gritted his teeth and said, "You speak as if you can kill me at any time."

As soon as Senju Hashirama said this, he knew he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly explained: "No, I meant that we are friends, I..."

Uchiha Madara, who was so angry that he lost his mind, was no longer willing to listen to Hashirama's explanation. He had decided to use his strength to tell Senju Hashirama that he had no right to teach him a lesson in a condescending manner.

Uchiha Madara spread his hands and stood up straight. The huge and majestic Nine-Tails also stood up and raised the chakra swords held in both hands high.

Uchiha Madara roared: "Hashirama! I have surpassed you!"

When Hashirama Senju saw Uchiha Madara's performance, he knew that this guy had lost his mind. He could only swallow his regret and disappointment and said helplessly: "There is no other way."

There is really no other way. Uchiha Madara is stubborn and proud, and is easily overwhelmed by pride and anger. At this time, we can only beat him up first and then reason with him.

Hashirama Senju clasped his hands together, lowered his head and sensed the natural energy around him. He forcibly absorbed all the natural energy into his body and instantly entered the Sage Mode.

As the sage marks appeared on his face, the chakra was transformed into the more powerful sage chakra.

Immortal Technique: Wood Release: True Thousand Hands

The surging fairy chakra burst out like a mountain, and a huge Buddha rose from the ground. On the top of the Buddha's head was a wooden man with a wooden dragon wrapped around his body. Behind the Buddha were thousands of arms arranged in a disc, each of which was larger than the wooden man.

The overall height of the Thousand-Armed Buddha far exceeds that of the Mighty Nine-Tailed Fox, forming a commanding counter-suppression force.

Such a huge wood-style creature stood between heaven and earth, and rushed towards the other side together with the blue powerful Nine-Tails. The earth-shattering momentum frightened the Konoha ninjas on the way.

The Konoha ninjas such as Senju Tobirama felt the fatal terror. They all stood on the treetops in a daze, not daring to move forward anymore.

This intuition about danger is a common ability possessed by ninjas who survived the Warring States Period. When these "old" ninjas pass away and the new generation such as Sarutobi Hiruzen grows up, this ability will become rare again.

Even 30 or even 40 years later, during the Third Ninja World War, which was larger in scale and had even more tragic casualties, not many ninjas had such abilities.

Because wars at that time were more organized, ninjas were not in constant danger like in the Warring States Period.

Before the establishment of Konoha Village, Tobirama Senju and his companions would be ambushed while fighting, ambushed while walking, ambushed while training at home, and even ambushed while eating and sleeping.

Even when taking a shit, Tobirama and Hashirama had to hold the toilet paper in one hand and pick up the spear next to the toilet door with the other and stab it into the pit, for fear that there was an old man squatting there who was not afraid of the smell and would kill them while they were giving it their all.

When Tobirama Senju was young, he was hit by a kunai in the toilet. Later, he stabbed two assassins to death in the toilet. It can be said that he had a deep memory of it.

Therefore, the secret physical skills passed down from generation to generation by the Hokage of Konoha Village are not a tree without roots, nor are they the work of Kakashi Hatake, but the essence passed down from the Warring States Period.

Just a few minutes after the Konoha ninjas saw the Shin Sensenju stop advancing, a violent storm hit and blew down all the ninjas standing on the trees.

The terrifying storms came one after another, and flaming mushrooms rose up one after another in front.

After a few waves, the temperature of the storm rose sharply, even igniting the dry fallen leaves and small branches in the forest, causing forest fires.

Only when the Konoha ninjas gathered together, under the leadership of Senju Tobirama, could they use water jutsu to save their lives.

Senju Tobirama finally realized how dangerous it was. He loudly gave orders: "Retreat, we can't stay here! Everyone retreat!!"

No Konoha ninja dared to hesitate. Under the leadership of Tobirama Senju, who was proficient in water-style ninjutsu, they fled back to a place less than ten kilometers away from Konoha Village. Only then did the power of the storm drop to a safe level.

The situation was so urgent that no Konoha ninja noticed that while they were retreating quickly, a tall figure was walking against the flow of people towards the center of the battle.

The time traveler, Hashirama Senju, threw away the hat that concealed his face and quickened his pace towards the center of the battle.

He also muttered to himself to comfort himself: "It's okay, I won't be lost for long, I can catch up in time, and I won't let myself fight with Madara to the point where I have to die."

Yes, Hashirama Senju is late.

He asked Uchiha You to set the crossing coordinates at the Valley of the End, but he forgot that the Valley of the End did not exist at the beginning. It was the result of his battle with Uchiha Madara and editing the map.

Uchiha You didn't think of this either. He locked the coordinates and sent Hashirama Senju over.

So the First Hokage traveled to a stretch of rolling hills. There was neither the huge valley nor the sizable lake as he remembered.

After being confused for a long time, he concluded that Uchiha You's skills were not good enough and he sent himself to the wrong place.

Hashirama Senju began to search for the Valley of the End using the spiral search method, but found nothing after two days. It was not until he saw a huge fireball rising up and felt the chakra fluctuations of "himself" and Madara that he suddenly woke up.

It turned out that Uchiha You didn't get the coordinates wrong, but he himself forgot what the Valley of the End looked like.

Senju Hashirama then hurried to the right place. When he met the Konoha ninjas who were retreating frantically on the way, he took off the hat of a ninja to avoid being seen by the Konoha ninjas by accident.

Hashirama did not think of hiding his existence, but his future brother reminded him not to let the past Senju Tobirama know the existence of the time traveler too early, and certainly not to let him know the existence of Uchiha Yu.

Senju Tobirama solemnly reminded: "I know myself best. Although I managed all aspects of Konoha Village 40 years ago, I had never taken on the responsibility of the entire village alone. I was very immature."

"At that time, I was too frivolous, too confident, too suspicious, and too eager to plot."

"In short, at that time, I was not suitable to know too much information, let alone the existence of Uchiha You, otherwise I don't know what would happen."

"My two brothers must unite to suppress me so that I won't dare to act rashly and cause great harm to Konoha Village."

"I don't want to hear what you think of me. I've been through the whole process of growing up. Don't you know yourself better than me? Don't you know how much of an asshole I was when I was young?"

The mature version of Senju Tobirama complained about how sharp he was, which shocked Uchiha Yu and Senju Hashirama, but they had to believe it.

The person who knows a person best is himself.
