Chapter 2

[Danzo: Heh, Tobirama-sensei, regarding this point, perhaps I can explain to you...]

[Tsunade: ...]

Inside the Hokage office,

the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, nervously gripped the chair beside him.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Danzo..."

He hadn't expected

that this sudden live broadcast room could actually connect to the First Hokage and the Second Hokage.

He was extremely afraid right now.

If these two looked deeply into the things he had done during his reign,

then what would become of his future?

His understanding of these two's power

did not come from books.

Just a fleeting glimpse from his childhood,

and he had already firmly memorized the heaven-destroying, earth-shattering power of Hashirama Senju's Wood Release!!

Even in his own prime,

he never believed he was a match for the First Hokage.

Let alone him now.

Shaking his head, he muttered to himself.

"Everything I did was for Konoha... it was all for Konoha, none of you can blame me..."

As the content of the live broadcast room played on,

the two youths met more and more frequently,

and even the crowd outside the screen could tell

that the bond between them seemed to be growing stronger!!!!

Right at this time,

the clans behind the two

also discovered their interactions!!!

The two were the young masters of the Uchiha and Senju clans respectively!!!

Their two clans had long since reached a point of absolute incompatibility!!!

Between each other,

neither knew how much of each other's blood stained their hands!!!

Therefore,

both the Uchiha and Senju clans began preparing to set up ambushes.

[Orochimaru: Interesting... so the two who founded Konoha actually met this way... neither knew the other's identity at first!!!]

[Tobirama Senju: Big brother!!! I told you long ago!! The Uchiha clan is an evil clan!! Look, the moment they discovered your identity, they immediately tried to ambush you!!!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Mister, that statement is going too far... didn't you also secretly ambush them??]

[Minato Namikaze: It seems the relationship between the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha is more complicated than we imagined...]

[Kushina Uzumaki: Dirty political struggles again!! So disgusting!!]

Madara Uchiha's face, seeing this scene, also became even more ashen.

Because it was from this point on

that he and Hashirama Senju began their endless struggles!!!!

And it also laid the groundwork for many later tragedies!!!!

The two youths on the screen caught the stones thrown at each other,

they looked up at each other,

and their hearts both jolted!!!

Right at this moment!!!

The people ambushing behind them also revealed themselves!!!!

"Tajima Uchiha!!!"

"Butama Senju!!!!"

"Despicable Uchiha clan!! To actually make a sneak attack on my son!!"

"Bullshit XX, wasn't it your Senju clan that attacked us first?!!"

The people of the two great clans,

the moment they met,

had no extra words,

and directly began to slaughter each other!!!!

The conflict between their two clans

had long reached an irreconcilable point!!!!

So there was no need for extra words!!!

And the young Madara, seeing this scene,

had a flicker in his eyes.

A pair of tomoe slowly appeared in his eyes!!!

At this time, Hashirama,

he had his mouth wide open as he watched the slaughter between the two clans!!!

He never imagined,

their meeting would actually trigger another war!!!

Most importantly, it was Madara opposite him,

looking at Madara's crimson eyes.

Hashirama felt a faint sense that something within his heart was about to be lost.

"Madara... stop..."

"Let the two of us stop, and let them stop too..."

"None of this has any meaning... there is no need for us to fight..."

"The two of us can completely work together to create a more peaceful world..."

Looking at young Hashirama's persistence,

the look in young Madara's eyes grew increasingly cold.

He shook his head.

"Hashirama... that is impossible..."

"The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan... only one can survive!!!!"

"Too many of my siblings and clansmen, they all died at your hands!!!!"

"And your clansmen, many also died at the hands of our clansmen!!!!"

"So... Hashirama... give up this impractical idea!!!"

"We are destined to not become friends!!!"

"There is only hatred between us!!! So, let battle decide everything for us!!!!"

5. Parallel World: This Hashirama is not quite right!!

[Orochimaru: Things seem to be getting more and more interesting... the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan actually have so many stories?]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Orochimaru, it is exactly this great ideology of the First Hokage that has allowed Konoha to stand firm until now!!]

[Nagato Uzumaki: Naive!! To think that the mighty God of Shinobi would actually have such a naive idea!!!]

[Kushina Uzumaki: Nagato Uzumaki... is this also a descendant of the Uzumaki clan? There are actually still people of the Uzumaki clan in this world.]

[Obito Uchiha: An extremely boring idea, to think the God of Shinobi would actually have such a childish idea...!]

[Kakashi: Obito??!!! You're actually still alive??!]

Inside a cave,

Black Zetsu emerged from behind Obito and spoke.

"Obito!!! What's wrong with you!!! You actually went against Lord Madara's wishes??!!"

At this moment, the look in Black Zetsu's eyes as he watched Obito,

was basically no different from looking at an idiot.

After so many years of preparation,

having stayed behind the scenes for so long,

he actually came out himself?

Obito waved his hand dismissively and snorted coldly.

"Rest assured, the situation is still under my control..."

"Even if I revealed my own identity, no one would imagine that I am the Uchiha Madara operating from the shadows!!!"

"Moreover, this so-called broadcast, you've seen it too... it's definitely not ordinary."

"So if there really is a Q&A later and we get rewards... that should be a good thing!!!"

But at this moment, Obito's heart was not as calm as he claimed.

He had merely seen what Hashirama Senju said on the screen just now,

and felt somewhat irritated inside.

Once upon a time,

he was the one who firmly believed in this very ideology of Hashirama's!!!

Hashirama Senju was even once the person he revered the most,

yet he did not meet a good end!!!

Even now, he was still living in hell!!!

Therefore,

he couldn't help but speak up and mock Hashirama Senju in the broadcast room just now!!!

At the same time,

Nagato, far away at the other end,

his heart was equally unsettled!!!

Because he and his companions,

had also once firmly believed in Hashirama Senju's ideology!!

Mutual understanding between people!!!

It was exactly this wrong ideology,

that made them pay an incredibly painful price!!!

The images on the screen gradually faded,

and the border suddenly turned black.

Immediately after,

the screen began to play another segment of footage.

[Orochimaru: This looks the same as the footage just now?... No... there seems to be something not quite right...]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: First Lord... it seems a little different??]

[Tobirama Senju: Big brother... were you... that strong back then??]

[Madara Uchiha: ...Hashirama Senju!!!! How dare you do this to me??? How dare you hold back when fighting me?!!]

The images on the screen,

were exactly the same as before at first,

but gradually,

everyone noticed something wrong.

The young Hashirama and the young Madara,

when they sparred,

their strengths were about equal.

So most of their matches ended in a draw...

But the Hashirama Senju on the screen...

"Hah... hah... hah...! Damn it!!! Hashirama!!!"

"You guy!!! You're as strong as a monster!!!!"

Madara Uchiha lay on the ground panting heavily.

And Hashirama Senju standing opposite him,

merely looked at him with a smile,

without breaking a single drop of sweat on his body!!!

"Madara, I told you a long time ago, my hard work far surpasses yours!!!"

"For me, my life is nothing but training, and more training!!!"

"Before I fulfill my dream, I will never give up my efforts!!!"

"Only immense power can change this world!!! Only then can my dream be realized!!!"

"The prejudices in people's hearts are like a great mountain; no matter how hard you try, you cannot change them..."

"In this world, people cannot put aside the prejudices in their hearts to change how they view one another..."

"So... Madara... this is the reason I have always persisted!!!"

Uchiha Madara looked at Senju Hashirama helplessly.

He had never imagined,

among people of the same age,

there would actually be someone so far ahead of him!!!

He even had a trace of doubt,

that his own father...

Uchiha Tajima might not be a match for Hashirama!!!

The moment this thought surfaced,

Madara immediately rejected it!!

What a joke,

his father was the patriarch of the Uchiha clan!!!

In this era,

he was a powerhouse standing at the very pinnacle!!!

[Orochimaru: Wood Release... is Wood Release really this terrifying? The First Hokage at this time was only around ten, right...]

[Tobirama Senju: I'm afraid it's not because of my elder brother's Wood Release... The elder brother in this footage seems somewhat off... he's absurdly strong!!!

6. Meeting Violence with Violence! This Is My Ninja Way!

After everyone watched Senju Hashirama on the screen,

they finally realized,

that the Senju Hashirama on the screen...

was strong to a point that was no longer just a little terrifying!!!

Uchiha Madara at the same stage was actually completely powerless to fight back before him????

The name Uchiha Madara,

many of them had heard,

and had even seen Uchiha Madara's name countless times in books.

In the Warring States period,

Uchiha Madara had already been on the battlefield countless times!!!

And at this time, his strength was also soaring rapidly!!

But seeing Senju Hashirama on the screen,

he was actually completely unfazed,
