Senju Hashirama looked at the pile of information in front of him and felt a splitting headache.

As a clan leader, Hashirama Senju felt that he was fairly competent, and that he had led his family through the Warring States Period; as the first Hokage of Konoha Village, Hashirama Senju did not dare to say that he had never done anything wrong, but no matter what he had protected the village and left the future to the living.

As a result, Senju Hashirama never expected that even after he died, he would still see the day when Konoha became the world's public enemy. And why would they come to him for such a thing?!

If you can’t even rest after you die, why do you want to continue being a corporate slave?

The most important thing is that faced with such a situation, Hashirama Senju was not sure what to do.

He is a dead person and has no right to choose the future for the living.

After hesitating for a moment, Senju Hashirama said, "Tobirama will be back soon, give these materials to him."

Then Senju Hashirama looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a burning gaze: "Hiraki, you are the Third Hokage, what do you think of this matter?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly: "In the end, I just feel uneasy in my heart."

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen has some idea in his mind. Although his own strength is good and he stands out among his peers, he is not able to suppress the others.

Not to mention others, just Uchiha Madara in the Konoha Hospital is not someone he can deal with, otherwise he would not have to pull Uchiha Afei in.

Senju Hashirama frowned: "Even so, I have to stand up straight and face everyone."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded solemnly: "Yes, everyone is standing behind me, I won't let you down!"

Senju Hashirama finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll go see Madara."

Senju Hashirama first strolled into the Konoha Hospital, but found the ward empty. Not only Uchiha Madara, but even Uchiha Tobi was nowhere to be seen.

Senju Hashirama's heart sank, and he hurriedly wandered around the village. Although he did not find any trace of Uchiha Madara, he successfully found Uchiha Obito, who was hung on a tree as a salted fish, and Izawa Sugi, who was sitting cross-legged under a tree eating three-colored meatballs, in an open space not far from the Hyuga clan's territory.

Senju Hashirama breathed a sigh of relief. He rushed to Izawa Sugi and asked impatiently, "Sugi, have you seen Madara?"

The black-haired boy turned his head to look at Senju Hashirama in surprise. He pointed at the empty space with his chin and said, "It's right in front of us."

Senju Hashirama was at a loss for a moment.

Then Izawa Sugi responded: "Oh, you can't see him at the moment."

The effect of Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan is very powerful. Only the Rinnegan can see it. Even the user of Senjutsu can only barely sense the existence of the shadow.

"Using fairy technique, Madara released the shadow." Izawa Sugi chewed on a meatball, "Didn't I say it before? Madara was used by someone. He said that such a big thing happened last night, and the person who used him might take action, so he is looking for him."

After hearing this, Hashirama Senju heaved a sigh of relief. He closed his eyes slightly, and then traces of magic appeared on his eyes and forehead. As expected, in the state of magic, Hashirama Senju could indeed sense that there was an unknown existence standing faintly in front of Izawa Sugi.

Senju Hashirama looked serious: "Have you found him? The one who used Madara?"

Izawa Shan shrugged: "I didn't find it."

Uchiha Obito who was hanging on the tree also said: "No news. It's a bit strange. Shan and I both thought that the bastard last night would most likely sneak into Konoha to check the situation, but Madara went to the Hyuga family, Konoha prison, the Uchiha clan, and the Hokage building, but still found no trace of the other party."

Where did Hei Zetsu go?

Senju Hashirama frowned: "Who is he?"

Ize Shan replied perfunctorily: "It's quite delicious."

Senju Hashirama: “…”

Uchiha Obito complained: "Speak properly, you are obviously a super disgusting thing."

Ize Shan said with disgust: "You can't say it's disgusting just because you can't eat it. I admit that the guy is indeed very insidious, but it is indeed delicious to me!"

Black Zetsu really replenishes energy! It is pure spiritual energy formed by the despair, pain, hatred, confusion and resentment left behind by Kaguya Otsutsuki before she was sealed.

For Izawa Sugi, who has already transformed into a worm and whose body is almost made of pure energy, Hei Zetsu is a snack with a unique flavor.

Who can resist a piece of cake?

Senju Hashirama was completely confused by this conversation.

At this moment, a black shadow came down, and Uchiha Madara, wearing a black robe and a hood, came back.

He put away his Samsara Eye and Hell Shadow and rubbed his temples. "I looked around but couldn't find any trace of the enemy."

Uchiha Madara still had some minor injuries on his body, and releasing the Rinnegan technique for such a long time was a bit tiring for him who was not yet proficient.

He said unhappily, "A Fei, A Shan, can't you two just tell me who I am?"

Izawa Sugi's tone was slightly sarcastic: "Will you believe me if I tell you? Will you believe that a tofu sushi would backstab you?"

Uchiha Obito nodded and said, "Yes, would you believe that your Samsara Eye betrayed you?"

At that time, Black Zetsu appeared with the will of Uchiha Madara. Who would have thought that his own will would betray himself?

Uchiha Madara was stunned and didn't understand what Izawa Sugi and Uchiha Obito meant. In the end, he could only give up asking about the enemy for the time being.

Uchiha Madara looked at Senju Hashirama: "Why is the moon broken into pieces? Who is the enemy? How strong is the opponent?"

Senju Hashirama said with a bitter face: "The moon was broken by Shan and the enemy."

He roughly talked about what happened last night and the strength of the Moon Ninja. Although Hashirama Senju was protecting several Konoha ninjas most of the time and did not face the enemy for a long time, he was experienced and watched Izawa Sugi and the Moon Ninja fighting from a distance, and still analyzed a lot of things.

"Oh? The evolution of the Byakugan?! Absorbing chakra? Senjutsu?" Uchiha Madara immediately became interested. "The enemy originally had no eyes, but after inserting Hinata's eyes, it soon had pupils? What kind of pupil technique is that?"

Senju Hashirama looked at Izawa Sugi, who thought for a moment and explained, "It's the Samsara Eye."

"There are several known methods to reach the Sage Realm. Senju, Uzumaki, and Kaguya all take similar paths of training the body, while Uchiha and Hyuga take the path of Sage Eyes. In general, they all work on Yin and Yang."

Ize Shan ate the last matcha-flavored meatball, and his cheeks bulged like a squirrel.

"Even the Akimichi clan follows the path of Yang power cultivation. The Yamanaka and Nara clans follow the path of Yin power, but there are also those who cultivate both Yin and Yang. Generally, the strength of such ninja clans is more balanced. It's a pity that because they are too balanced, it is difficult to reach the extreme."

"As everyone knows, the origin of the ninja clan is the Ninja Clan founded by the Six Paths Sage. All ninja clans have inherited part of the Ninja Clan and the Six Paths Sage, but the Senju and Uchiha clans have inherited the most, so they are more likely to revert to their ancestors."

Izawa Sugi played with the remaining wooden sticks and said nonchalantly, "In theory, every ninja has the possibility of returning to the original state and returning to the realm of immortals, but this is only in theory. Ninjas have fought for thousands of years, and only Madara has opened the Rinnegan, and only Hashirama has mastered the Wood Release technique."

Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama listened silently. Uchiha Obito looked strange: "Really? You look like you know everything. Have you seen a lot?"

Izawa Sugi paused while playing with the wooden stick, and was silent for a while before saying, "Not really, I just have some experience with these paths. I was just an ordinary ninja at first, and I felt that bloodline was not important at that time, because I saw many, many great people who fought against demons to the death without the blessing of so-called bloodline, and even defeated demons with their own bodies."

"Later, I discovered that although blood is disgusting, it does have some effect. At least I have lived this long thanks to the grace of the Sage of Six Paths. Otherwise, I would have died long ago."

"Later, I felt that the existence of blood was actually a random admission ticket and a letter of responsibility given by God. You see, since we have inherited blood abilities far superior to those of ordinary people from our ancestors, then we should

I have to do something for this world, for the ancestors buried in the earth, and for the people living on this land. It is a bit like a sense of responsibility that no one else can do. "

"Otherwise, wouldn't those who died because of us and entrusted us with responsibilities and expectations have died in vain?"

Izawa Sugi's words made Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara nod at the same time.

As the heads of the clan and the peacemakers who jointly founded Konoha and ended the Warring States period, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama did have such thoughts in mind. Otherwise, one would not have suppressed his hatred for his younger brother, and the other would not have opened his heart to accept the defeated as his equal ally.

Just having said this, Ize Shan changed the subject.

"But then I realized I was just being overly sentimental."

Senju Hashirama was stunned, and Uchiha Madara's eyes lit up. He asked, "Why do you say that?"

“Even if I am ridiculously strong, the world does not revolve around me. Even if I am weak, as long as we unite, there is always something we can accomplish with everyone’s efforts.”

Izawa Sugi's expression became serious. "The world does not belong to us. It belongs to everyone who strives to survive in this world. So how the world becomes should be chosen by them. We just need to exist as a beacon and observer."

Ize Shan thought of what he had seen and heard: Gilgamesh saw the glory of future human creation, so he decided to bid farewell to the gods; King Arthur tried to prolong the mysterious final glory of the British Isles by himself, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and it ended in a bleak way.

"The tide of the times is made up of countless little people. Don't be too arrogant. It's not unacceptable to admit that you are insignificant and have no role to play."

After Izawa Sugi finished speaking, Senju Hashirama smiled and said, "Just do what you can do and leave everything to the younger generation."

That's what he did.

Then Senju Hashirama looked at Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara frowned and did not agree with what Izawa Sugi said.

He has the ability to realize his vision and make the whole world fall into a beautiful dream. Why doesn't he do it?

"...Ashan, do you mean to say that the enemy took advantage of my desire to achieve my ideals and led me down the wrong path?"

Izawa Sugi was stunned. He looked at Uchiha Madara in surprise and said, "No, I meant to say that the salted fish is right, long live the rottenness."

Uchiha Madara: "..."

Uchiha Obito laughed out loud like thunder.

Izawa Sugi said nonchalantly, "Even though Konoha Village is in trouble every day, with so many people gathered together, it won't be that easy to destroy."

Uchiha Obito has the most say on this: "Yes, the village may deteriorate in the future and become a mass of incombustible matter, but Konoha Village will still exist."

Senju Hashirama was filled with emotion, and even felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Is that so? So this is how you view the village?"

The first Hokage of Konoha felt at peace in his heart.

“It’s great to have you in the village of the future.”

Uchiha Madara pursed his lips and said indifferently: "Really? Even if Konoha becomes the world's public enemy, it doesn't matter? Do you think that relying on Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength is enough to deal with the hostility of the whole world in the future?"

After hearing this, Hashirama Senju's expression fell.

Izawa Sugi and Uchiha Obito were both stunned: "What do you mean by hostility from the whole world?"

Uchiha Madara wandered around the village. Although he did not find the unknown enemy, he heard about the development and impact of last night's events.

"It's being rumored that Konoha sent someone to blow up the moon and is planning to use it to destroy the world. Now countries around the world are discussing this matter. I'm sure the letter of accusation from the Land of Fire Daimyo will be delivered to the village today."

Uchiha Madara said with interest: "If even the Lord of the Land of Fire does not intend to support Konoha Village, is it possible for this village to continue?"

Ize Shan was shocked: "There is such a good

thing?"

Uchiha Madara was stunned. Good news?

Uchiha Obito immediately said: "It was that bastard! No wonder we couldn't find him, it turns out that guy went to spread rumors!"

Senju Hashirama anxiously asked Izawa Shan: "Shan, why do you say this is a good thing?"

Izawa Sugi asked back: "Isn't this a good thing? I can't think of a better reason than this! This reason is enough for Konoha to immediately lead its troops to expand and unify the continent!!"

"The Leaf Village wants to be king and dominate the world. If you don't obey, we will destroy the world!"

This time it was Senju Hashirama's turn to be confused. Uchiha Madara laughed: "Ah, Hashirama, you are right. It is great that the village has such a younger generation."

This answer was exactly what he wanted, he liked it!

"If Konoha has the ambition to unify the continent, I don't mind staying in the village for a while."

Uchiha Madara glanced at Senju Hashirama with a smile.

"Hashirama, what do you think?"

Senju Hashirama looked extremely unhappy. He was about to say something, but Izawa Sugi waved his hands, looking like he was sweeping away thousands of troops: "Does it matter what he thinks? It doesn't matter! The dead have no human rights! I will send him back to the Pure Land now!"
