Senju Tobirama's face was full of doubt and he exclaimed in disbelief: "That's not my mark, but it's so similar to my mark that I can use it!"

Senju Hashirama nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that it works. Take us and Madara with us, let's go and see what it is."

Senju Tobirama frowned and said, "Brother, this strange mark was not set by me. I have no idea about the situation on the other side, and I can't guarantee safety after the transmission."

Senju Hashirama looked at himself 40 years later with a questioning look in his eyes.

The time traveler Hashirama nodded and said, "Uchiha Yuu is a trustworthy Konoha ninja."

Hearing this, Senju Hashirama no longer hesitated and turned around and ordered, "Take us there."

When Hashirama Senju is serious, Tobirama Senju will never resist his brother. Even if he is asked to let go of the hatred for his father's death and the hatred for the Uchiha clan, he will obey the order.

So he then threw down a Flying Thunder God kunai, and then used all his strength to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique, bringing the two Hashirama, Uchiha Madara and the big wooden ball to the unfamiliar Flying Thunder God mark.

It was a huge cave, 300 meters wide and over 170 meters high. It was impossible to determine how far the front and back ends of the cave extended.

The entire cave is supported by huge tree roots, on which hang rows of white cysts shaped like silkworm cocoons. Those cysts are just the right size to accommodate a person.

The traverser gradually performed Wood Release Ninjutsu according to the latest prompts from the [System], and easily grew new pieces of paper from the roots of the trees, puncturing more than a dozen cocoon cysts.

As the cysts burst, a human body fell out of each cyst, but the pale skin color made people feel very uncomfortable when they saw it.

Moreover, these human bodies also emitted strange chakra fluctuations, which made the three Thousand Hand Ninjas present look at each other in confusion.

They all recognized this strange chakra fluctuation. Although it was very strange, it was indeed the fluctuation of Wood Release chakra.

These pale-skinned weirdos are actually ninjas who have awakened their Wood Release Bloodline Limit?

But before the three Senju ninjas could question him, Uchiha Madara had already called out the name of the monster: "White Zetsu..."

"This is impossible, how could this happen!"

"There are so many White Zetsu. I, I don't believe it!"

They came to the White Zetsu warehouse which was transformed from a living root of the sacred tree. The roots that had not yet died sustained the lives of more than 4,000 White Zetsu.

…

[System] The target of the request for support is Uchiha Yu's soul clone, so this plan is the fastest way He gave to obtain evidence.

When Konoha ruled the entire Fire Country, Uchiha Yu assigned family ninjas to investigate the Fire Country and found several living roots of the sacred tree.

Unfortunately, the original White Zetsu on the roots of the tree had been moved away, leaving only relatively fresh traces of hanging. It was obvious that Black Zetsu evacuated urgently after seeing that Konoha Village completely ruled the Fire Country.

Black Zetsu's vigilance was very useful. The Uchiha clan spent a lot of time and effort but failed to obtain a large number of White Zetsu, and even did not get the Wood Release Crystal.

But Uchiha You remembered the coordinates of the roots of these sacred trees, and after receiving the support request from the [System], he immediately thought of using a large number of White Zetsu as evidence.

He immediately spread his body to the nearest underground cave, and after confirming that there were a large number of White Zetsu stored therein, he left a Flying Thunder God mark that could be sensed by Tobirama Senju.

But he was not the unlucky guy who was deceived like Madara, and the shock he suffered was not as severe, so he quickly returned to normal.

Just as the three Thousand Hand Ninjas were guessing the origins of White Zetsu, Uchiha Madara suddenly roared madly.

"Hashirama! Hashirama!!"

"Open them all, open them all and let me see, quick!!"

“Hurry up!!!”

The time traveler Hashirama and Senju Hashirama looked at each other, and then simultaneously launched Wood Release Ninjutsu.

Hundreds of Wood Release branches grew out from the roots of the tree, dancing like spirit snakes, piercing the white cocoons and letting the White Zetsu inside fall out.

With a whooshing sound, thousands of White Zetsu covered the floor of the cave. With the addition of some torn-off bags, the entire cave became a mess, as if it was a battlefield with corpses everywhere.

Uchiha Madara's face was distorted. These thousands of White Zetsu were indeed evidence, irrefutable proof that he had been deceived.

He thought that Black Zetsu was born after he realized the true meaning of the Six Paths Sage, and White Zetsu was created by himself under the inspiration of Black Zetsu, but he definitely did not create so many White Zetsu.

In other words, it is also very suspicious how those White Zetsu that he had created with his own hands were made.

The most suspicious one is of course Black Zetsu.

Uchiha Madara is not an idiot. He just cannot see clearly what is happening under the lamp, so he has never cast a suspicious eye on the Black Zetsu and White Zetsu that he "created".

At this moment, seeing the White Zetsu that was dozens of times more powerful than the one he created, he naturally began to doubt.

Looking at the process of creating White Zetsu from a questioning perspective, Uchiha Madara was horrified to find that he actually did not know the principles of creating White Zetsu, he only knew the manufacturing process.

There was no doubt about it anymore. He had been deceived, completely deceived.

Uchiha Madara turned his head to look at the two Hashirama, only to find that they were standing on both sides of him, looking at him, and did not run to search through the pile of White Zetsu like Senju Tobirama did.

Uchiha Banera immediately felt the importance that Hashirama and others placed on him, and he realized that he was not such a failure. At least Hashirama still cared about him.

As a warmth slowly rose in his heart, Uchiha Madara's despair and frustration at being deceived also subsided a lot. At least he no longer thought about dying.

He looked at Senju Hashirama and nodded, then turned to look at the time traveler Hashirama and said, "I have seen your evidence, and I also believe that what you said is right. I was deceived."

"Hashirama, please continue what you haven't finished saying. I want to know what exactly I was deceived about."

The time traveler Hashirama took a look at Uchiha Madara's expression and confirmed that he was in much better condition. Only then did he feel relieved and opened the information panel of the [System] again.

Looking at the information from the [System], he found the location from last time and continued reading: "The most deadly deception is the Infinite Tsukuyomi Technique."

"The purpose of this technique is to allow you to contain enough chakra, and almost all the chakra in the ninja world belongs to Kaguya Otsutsuki. When so much chakra is concentrated in one person, he automatically becomes Kaguya Otsutsuki's clone."

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique developed by Senju Tobirama requires a living sacrifice with sufficient chakra. Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection requires a better sacrifice."

"Madara, you are the sacrifice chosen by Black Zetsu for the resurrection of Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Uchiha Madara was sealed in the wooden ball with only his head left to move, but both Hashirama could see that he was trembling, and very violently.

After hearing the story told by the time traveler, Hashirama, how could he not guess what would happen to him after being deceived?

He will actually be regarded as the best candidate for resurrection. His body will be occupied by someone, but his soul will not die. He will continue to be imprisoned in the body and live, becoming a sealed prisoner.

Because Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is the goddess of the Rabbit, the legendary immortal god, his life in captivity will be endless.

This is a punishment more terrible than death.

Uchiha Madara felt extreme fear and endless anger.

He was not afraid of death, nor was he afraid of his soul being imprisoned forever, but he could not bear the fact that he wanted to save the ninja world at all costs, but was deceived into taking actions to destroy it.

Uchiha Madara could not accept that all his efforts were pushing everyone in the ninja world to death.

He left Konoha Village to save the Uchiha clan and to save the ninja world. He wanted to find a new path, a new path that could save everyone.

It turned out that the new method he found was a dead end that would destroy the ninja world. He definitely couldn't go down this dead end, but where should he go?

Uchiha Madara was confused.

Unconsciously, this arrogant man shed tears, tears of pain and regret.

The two Hashirama looked at each other, and tacitly worked together to remove the restraints and seals on Uchiha Madara, then each of them patted Madara's shoulder to comfort him.

The time traveler Hashirama said: "Madara, don't be discouraged, there is still hope."

Uchiha Madara wiped away his tears and asked, "Hope, is there still hope for the ninja world and me?"

The time traveler, Hashirama, nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, as long as people are still alive, there is always hope."

"My first purpose in coming back was to stop the two of you from fighting to the death. Don't let it end up with both of you getting hurt. That would be hopeless."

The time traveler Hashirama looked at Senju Hashirama and said, "My second purpose for coming back is to convince you to give up the policy of balancing the ninja villages."

Senju Hashirama was shocked: "Ah, why?"

Uchiha Madara was overjoyed: "Hashirama, have you changed your mind?"

The time traveler, Hashirama, laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha, I've changed it."

He explained: "The balance of the ninja village is meaningless to the peace of the ninja world. The first ninja world war broke out the year after I died."

"Except for the Sand Village, tens of thousands of ninjas from the three major ninja villages besieged the Hidden Leaf Village. Tens of thousands of ninjas fought on the battlefield. That war lasted for five years. No one knows how many people died."

"When the war ended, Tobirama also encountered an accident while participating in the peace negotiations and died in the rebellion of the Hidden Cloud Village."

Uchiha Madara laughed: "I knew I was right. The so-called peace is only a short-lived existence suppressed by you and me. As long as we die, the war will inevitably break out in a more violent way."

Senju Hashirama weakly argued: "At least, at least Konoha Village can protect the children and prevent them from dying on the battlefield before they grow up."

The time traveler, Hashirama, shook his head grimly: "No, Konoha Village did not protect the children well."

Hearing this, Senju Hashirama was struck by lightning: "Ah?"

His face turned pale: "How is it possible? How could they not even protect their children?"

The time traveler Hashirama said: "I told you, the First Ninja World War broke out after my death. It was called the First Ninja World War because a series of wars broke out afterwards."

"Each war lasted for years, far longer than the peace period that followed."

"The frequency of wars is just too high. People don't have the opportunity to raise their children properly, nor do they have the means to educate them properly."

"After Tobirama died, the Third Hokage of Konoha Village sent children under the age of ten to the battlefield. Large numbers of them died on the battlefield, and most of them were killed without a trace."

The time traveler Hashirama could not continue. This was the information he knew in the Pure Land. It was the information that made him most sad and regretful, and it was also the reason that prompted his change of mind.

Even though many years have passed, even though he has been resurrected and traveled through time and has the opportunity to change this tragic history, he still feels extremely heartbroken when he talks about this.

The time traveler, Hashirama, felt a sharp pain in his heart, which made his chest feel tight and he had difficulty breathing. A feeling of suffocation overwhelmed him.

After a long while, he recovered and spoke again: "Fortunately, those are all tragic things that will happen in the future after the war between you two, one of you dies of illness, and the other is deceived."

"Now that you are all fine, and I am here, we still have a chance to save the ninja world and the children of Konoha Village."

Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara asked almost at the same time: "What should we do?"

The time traveler Hashirama replied: "We want to unify the ninja world."

Uchiha Madara was overjoyed. When he left Konoha Village, he told Senju Hashirama that they had taken the wrong road to Konoha Village.

At that time, he predicted to Hashirama Senju that the policy of balance in the ninja world was wrong and could only maintain peace for a short time. As long as he died, it would trigger a larger-scale war with even more heavy casualties.

Now this prophecy has been confirmed by the time traveler Hashirama, and it turns out that it was he - Uchiha Madara's idea that was correct.

In contrast to Uchiha Madara's ecstasy, Senju Hashirama jumped up and said, "Unify the ninja world? How? Start a war?"

"No, absolutely not!"

"We have made so many sacrifices, given up hundreds of years of accumulated hatred, and finally ended the chaos. How can we start a war again?"

Hashirama Senju had not experienced the painful things that happened later, so he couldn't change his mind so quickly.

This is normal, otherwise why is there the old saying that it is difficult to change one's nature?

However, Uchiha Madara could not convince Senju Hashirama, but the time traveler Hashirama could: "If you don't take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the countries are not yet stable and the concept of the nation is weak, and realize unification as soon as possible, when will you realize unification?"

Senju Hashirama could not accept the war and asked, "Why must we unify?"

The time traveler Hashirama replied: "Only unity can better protect Konoha Village."

He saw with his own eyes that Uchiha Yuu and Orochimaru were working together and moving steadily towards the goal of unifying the ninja world. Although it had not yet been completed, they had already demonstrated their protection for the next generation of Konoha Village.

All the countries and ninja villages were trembling in fear as they were on guard against Konoha Village. It was already extremely difficult for them to protect themselves, and no one dared to even think of attacking Konoha Village.

During the time of the Third Hokage, the Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, who had been eyeing the Konoha Village covetously, was also suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe, and had to try his best to keep the basic foundation of the Land of Lightning intact.

The Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water has just experienced a change of power. The handover of the Mizukage was based on the death of the Fourth Mizukage. The chaos caused by internal purges and policy adjustments has not yet disappeared, and there is no force coveting Konoha Village.

The Sand Village in the Land of Wind is the worst off. It is basically lying down and waiting to be beaten. When the Konoha Village has enough manpower, it will annex this desert country.

In fact, the Land of Earth has been annexed by Konoha Village, and together with the Land of Fire, it has become a federal country under the rule of Konoha Village.

The time traveler Hashirama has seen the great advantages of unification and the dawn of creating lasting peace in the federation of the Fire Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom.

That's why he believed that only unification could protect Konoha Village, and unification could also better protect the entire ninja world.

But Hashirama Senju, who has been with Konoha for 10 years, disagreed: "Bara and I are both fine. We can definitely protect Konoha Village, and we can do so for a long time."

The time traveler Hashirama nodded and said, "I believe you can protect Konoha Village for 20, 30, or even 40 years."

"And then? You will still die. Will your death trigger an even more violent ninja war?"

"Three wars broke out after my death, and each ninja village mobilized tens of thousands of ninjas to participate. Forty years from now, when you die, won't the ninja war that breaks out involve a hundred thousand ninjas?"

Senju Hashirama was sweating profusely, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans running down his forehead. He hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I think. Why would a war break out after I die?"

The time traveler Hashirama shrugged and said, "How would I know why the war broke out? It wasn't me who led Konoha Village to start the war."

"What's more, after my death, the outbreak of the three Ninja World Wars all started with other villages raiding the Land of Fire, or even directly attacking Konoha Village."

Senju Hashirama frowned and asked, "Every time a war breaks out, Konoha Village is attacked. Why is that? If we solve this problem, can we stop the war?"

When the time traveler Hashirama heard this, he actually felt that it made some sense, but before he could say anything, a prompt from the [System] appeared in his mind.

After reading the information from the [System], he knew the reason for the outbreak of the war, and understood the inevitability of the outbreak of war, as well as the reason why Konoha Village was besieged.

It is because the land of Fire Country occupied by Konoha Village is fertile and has a large population. In a word, Konoha Village is too rich and everyone wants to take a bite.

As long as the two unchallengeable guys are gone, the four major ninja villages will of course not be able to help but take action.

This is determined by the nature of human beings to seek benefits and avoid harm. As long as Konoha Village is still in the Land of Fire, it cannot avoid the fate of being coveted and attacked.

Moreover, even if Konoha Village gave up the Land of Fire and moved to a barren place like the Land of Tea, it would only remove Konoha Village itself from the center of the war.

The four major ninja villages will only fight more frantically for the Fire Country because there is no one to protect it.

Even if they divided up the Land of Fire, they would not be satisfied with stopping the war. They would only further fight for the lands occupied by other ninja villages and fight each other endlessly.

Even if they are exhausted and have to cease fighting, it is only temporary. As soon as they catch their breath, the war will break out again.

In order to truly end the war, only one of the five major ninja villages can occupy the entire Land of Fire, and then destroy and annex the other four, as well as all other small countries, and merge the entire ninja world into a unified country.

A unified ninja world is likely to see war break out, just like the Fire Nation has never seen a civil war break out in the 50 years since its unification.
