Chapter 51

"What are you betting on?"

"Bet on whether the ninja world can maintain peace by following his method." Ling Yi said.

What Hashirama Senju wanted was for the ninjas to understand and identify with each other and eliminate barriers, so he started by cooperating with them. They established the Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, and then the other four major countries followed suit and established their own ninja villages.

In order to balance the power of each ninja village, he and Hashirama even captured nine tailed beasts and divided them up. After that, the five ninja villages that were restraining each other were indeed stable for a while. When the time was almost right, Hashirama retired according to the bet, faked his death, and he became the second Hokage, and retired in the same way not long after.

However, not long after they "passed away", small frictions suddenly began to appear among the five major nations, and then the conflict quickly escalated. At that time, the Hidden Cloud Village was the first to get impatient and launched an attack on the most affluent Konoha Village, and then the first major war in the ninja world broke out...

The ninja village was originally a group of common interests formed by the alliance of ninja families. These families had hatreds before, and when the war broke out, the new hatreds and old hatreds were added together, and the fighting was very fierce. It was not until a long time later that the war gradually subsided, but the contradictions between the five major ninja villages were not eliminated. It was simply because the war consumed too many ninjas, and the ninja villages needed to recuperate. So after a short respite, the second and third world wars followed one after another...

In these battles, besides ordinary ninjas, Kages of various ninja villages also died one after another. It can be said that there were no winners. In addition to the conflicts between ninja villages, the ninja villages were not united. After all, ninja villages were formed by alliances of different families. With external troubles and internal friction, the ninja world did not seem to be much better than the Warring States period...

At this point, Hashirama's bet was completely lost, and then Hashirama cooperated with him to implement the Moon Eye Plan. Of course, during the process, he caught a little black and solved it easily. There is no need to go into details about this matter...

...

“Is this how you use confidence?”

When Hashirama Senju looked at another self, it felt like he was looking in a mirror. For some words, he understood the other person's meaning without even waiting for the other person to explain. For example, the other person's words now were trying to tell him that he could not convince Madara.

"I have never given up on forming an alliance with Uchiha." Senju Hashirama said, "Although Madara has always rejected me, I believe that one day Madara will agree to my request."

Ling Yi nodded in agreement with what Hashirama Senju said. At the same time, he also understood the other party's deeper meaning. The other party wanted to ask him, since he could convince Madara to form an alliance, why couldn't he convince Madara to lift the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"Because I am the one who was convinced this time." Ling Yi answered Senju Hashirama.

"Huh?" Senju Hashirama stared at himself across from him.

"Don't look so incredulous," Ling Yi said, "the facts are already in front of you."

"How could you be easily convinced by Madara?" This was the only thing that made Hashirama Senju unable to understand the decision he had made.

"Fifty years." Ling Yi said.

"What fifty years?" Senju Hashirama asked subconsciously, but he quickly realized that the fifty years Ling Yi was talking about was the time it took Madara to convince him, which was also telling him that he would not be easily convinced.

During the Warring States period, the average life expectancy of humans was only 30 years old, and 50 years was longer than many people's lifetime. So what happened during such a long period of time? Senju Hashirama did not continue to ask, but began to think deeply. From the result, it was probably 50 years of war. Moreover, this 50 years of war was after he and Madara formed an alliance and after he worked hard to settle the grievances between the ninja families...

The two Senju Hashirama suddenly fell silent. Senju Tobirama looked around and couldn't help but said to Ling Yi: "Brother, you are not under the illusion of Uchiha, are you?"

Having worked with Uchiha Madara for fifty years, he suspected that Uchiha Madara had used these fifty years to do something to his brother.

"Madara is not that kind of person." Before Ling Yi could answer, Senju Hashirama spoke first.

Senju Tobirama: "..."

"Tobirama, you seem to have always had a misunderstanding about Madara." Ling Yi also spoke.

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "…………"

A brother shouts every day and Uchiha

Forget about forming an alliance, the other one is to directly cooperate in doing the Infinite Tsukishiro. At this moment, Senju Tobirama just felt doubly tired. What evil did he do in his previous life that he would become Senju Hashirama's younger brother in this life?

"Brother, let me check you out, please?" Senju Tobirama said tentatively. After all, physical examination is a private matter and even more taboo for ninjas. Besides, the brother in front of him did not grow up with him.

Ling Yi nodded. He knew the condition of his body clearly, and Senju Tobirama couldn't find out anything.

This was indeed the case. Tobirama Senju checked Ling Yi, mainly to see if there was anything wrong with his chakra, and whether he was disturbed by Uchiha's illusion. He didn't know whether he should be disappointed or not. [Hashirama Senju] was not under the illusion. He and [Uchiha Madara] really pulled everyone in the ninja world into this huge illusion before their eyes...

"Now that we have understood the situation, which side will you stand on?" Ling Yi asked Senju Hashirama.

"Perhaps what I thought before was not perfect enough, but I believe there is a better way, and I will find it." Senju Hashirama stood up from the tatami, he laughed twice, and then said, "Those two children seem to be very excellent."

"Indeed." Ling Yi did not deny what Hashirama Senju said.

...

It cannot be said that there was no gain after a busy day, but it can only be said that the results were very small. If they continue like this, it will be difficult for them to meet the requirements within a month. What will they do then?

Naruto walked and thought, and unknowingly walked to the downstairs of his house. He jumped to the second floor out of habit, and was dazzled by the bright window. He was stunned for a long time before he realized that he was no longer living alone, and he was no longer facing a cold house when he returned home...

Remembering Kushina Uzumaki's complaints before he left home, he walked to the door and opened it obediently. The bright light from inside the door shone all over him. He looked at the busy figures in the room and stopped again. It was the people inside who heard the movement and looked over.

"Naruto is back." When she first saw him, Uzumaki Kushina smiled, but then she thought of something and frowned again, "Why are you so late?"

"What are you still doing standing there?" Seeing that Naruto didn't respond, Uzumaki Kushina walked forward, pulled him into the room, and pushed him in front of the dining table.

The dinner on the table was emitting hot steam, and the warmth radiated over and melted Naruto's stiff body. He couldn't help but blink his eyes, and felt that the steam seemed to melt into his eyes, blurring his vision.

"Why don't you eat?" Uzumaki Kushina said again, picking up the chopsticks and passing them to Naruto, "Really... one by one always makes me worry."

Naruto took the chopsticks and couldn't help sniffing, trying to swallow the sour taste and the aroma of the food. He picked up the bowl and was about to start eating, but stopped again, looked around, and asked, "Um... why isn't Dad here?"

Speaking of Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina couldn't help but complain: "The work at the Hokage building has not been completed yet. I said I would go home on time for dinner, but I'm late again."

"Is Dad busy?" Naruto asked again.

"They are just trivial matters in the village." said Uzumaki Kushina.

Naruto nodded as if he understood, and didn't ask any more questions. After finishing his meal, he returned to his room.

In the past, when he was alone, he would summon his shadow clones to play cards with him to make the room seem less lonely, but now there are other people in the room and he doesn't know how to get along with them.

Naruto was lying on the bed, daydreaming, until he heard noises outside the door. He wanted to pretend that he was asleep, but he couldn't help being curious. He finally tiptoed to the door and quietly opened a crack. It turned out that Minato Namikaze had returned. Perhaps he noticed his little movement, Minato Namikaze suddenly turned around to look at him. Naruto hurriedly closed the door and quickly jumped back on the bed...

After a while, there was a knock on the door: "Naruto, are you asleep?"

Naruto lay tightly on the bed, pretending to be asleep. He didn't hear any response. The person outside the door stopped knocking and just opened the door and walked in...

"..." Naruto didn't dare to move. As the person approached, he suddenly felt inexplicably nervous and his heart began to beat uncontrollably. Would Namikaze Minato be angry when he found out that he was pretending to be asleep?

Naruto was a little uneasy, but soon a hand suddenly pressed on his head, without using any force, just gently, soothingly for a moment, and soon the hand left, and Namikaze Minato also walked out of the room. Naruto still lay there stupidly, and after an unknown amount of time, he stretched out a hand and placed it on his head, with a silly smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't even notice...

War, being drawn into the world of infinite moon reading, and meeting parents he had never seen before, Naruto thought he would suffer from insomnia, but when he opened his eyes, it was already dawn...

Naruto jumped up from the bed. Seeing the unfamiliar room, he was stunned for several seconds before realizing where he was. Recalling what happened last night, he put his hands on his head again, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up...

Naruto did not stay in the room for long because he had things to do today. He wanted to leave before Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki got up, but when he walked to the door and saw the Hokage's Shinto robe hanging there, he could not help but stop.

[The Fourth Hokage] - Naruto stared at the words on the robe of the God of War in a trance. The first time he saw these words was in the sealing space of the Nine-Tails. At that time, Pain invaded the Konoha Village. He was so angry that he almost opened the seal of the Nine-Tails. It was the Fourth Hokage wearing the robe of the God of War who suddenly appeared and stopped him. It was also at that time that he learned about his own life experience.

For him, nothing could make him happier than knowing that his father was Hokage. Even though this made him suffer a lot and take many detours, he still felt proud, and he has been moving forward with the goal of becoming Hokage.

Although he is still far behind his perfect and powerful father, he will not give up, because speaking his mind and doing what he says is his way of ninja.

Naruto once again determined his goal. He would not be stuck in the same place...

"What are you looking at?" A voice suddenly came from the side, scaring Naruto so much that he almost jumped up. He turned around and saw Uzumaki Kushina who appeared out of nowhere.

Uzumaki Kushina walked over, took a look at Minato's robe, then looked at Naruto, and said with a smile: "When Naruto was a child, he always liked to run around wearing this robe, and he always said that he wanted to be a Hokage when he grew up. I didn't expect that he has really grown up so much now..."

Looking at the nostalgic look on Uzumaki Kushina's face, Naruto was also a little dazed. Those things seemed to have really happened. In a certain time and space, he had worn his father's robe of the God of Destiny, and said majestically like a general that he also wanted to be a Hokage. What would his father and mother say? Maybe they would blame him for taking his father's clothes, but they would still be proud of his ambition. Maybe they would encourage him to practice hard to become a Hokage, and personally lead him to practice... In any case, it is a very warm picture belonging to a family. Just thinking about it makes me feel very beautiful...

"I also want to become Hokage now." Naruto finally said.

Uzumaki Kushina was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief.

"It's not easy to become a Hokage." Minato Namikaze came over at some point. He looked at Naruto and showed his father's stern side. "Come with me to report to the Anbu today."

Naruto: “…”

[Wuwuwu, I suddenly like this illusion world so much. I really hope Naruto and Sasuke can stay here.]

「Although I also want the two of you to stay, if the illusion is not resolved, everyone will turn into White Zetsu and be destroyed.」

[I think the most tearful thing is that there are warm family members here, but Naruto and Sasuke are very determined and don’t change their minds]

Naruto came out of the Hokage Building and hurried to the entrance of Konoha Village. As he hurried, he tugged at his Anbu uniform uncomfortably. He wanted to slip away like he did yesterday, but this time, Minato Namikaze, who was known as the Yellow Flash, was serious and he was caught before he even ran out of the house...

He had no choice but to go to the Anbu with Minato Namikaze first. After such a long delay, Sasuke should have arrived long ago, Naruto couldn't help but think, and quickened his pace. However, when he arrived at the destination, he didn't see Sasuke?

"Could it be that he got tired of waiting and left?" Naruto couldn't help but mutter. He looked around but didn't see anyone. Just as he was about to leave and look for him in the village, Sasuke appeared with a frozen face, wearing the uniform of the Konoha Police Department.
