Chapter 2

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju exchanged a glance.

A tremor passed through them simultaneously.

They both,

had naturally seen the content of the live stream.

Third Hokage?

Uchiha... Uzumaki...

From just these fragments of evidence,

they realized these people were likely future descendants!!!

【Hashirama Senju: Hiruzen Sarutobi... Third Hokage... Are you Tobirama's student?】

【Hiruzen Sarutobi:!!!!!!!!】

【Orochimaru: How intriguing... This isn't an ordinary prank— even the revered First Hokage has appeared...】

【Naruto Uzumaki: Hashirama Senju, who is this guy? His name sounds so familiar...】

【Sasuke Uchiha: Bai Chi!!! Didn't you pay attention in class!!! He's the First Hokage!!!!!!!】

2. The God of Shinobi once had a watermelon head too!!

【Tsunade: Grandpa!!! Is that you, Grandpa!!! I'm Kogasa!!!】

【Hashirama Senju: Kogasa... In your era... am I already dead?】

Hashirama Senju was usually carefree and jovial,

but when he became serious,

his mind was extraordinarily perceptive.

Merely from the dialogue in the live stream,

he had already deduced the approximate time period of those people.

【Tsunade: Yes, Grandpa... I'm so tired... now the Senju clan is reduced to just me!!!】

【Hashirama Senju: How is that possible?! Even if I'm gone, Tobirama would never let the Senju clan perish!!!】

【Madara Uchiha: Hahaha!! Hashirama, who would've thought—the Senju clan founded Konoha, yet they've been wiped out!!!】

【Orochimaru: Hehe... Revered First Hokage, not only the Senju clan, but even the Uchiha clan... has been extinguished as well... For the full details, you must ask my beloved teacher, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi...】

【Hiruzen Sarutobi:... First Hokage, this matter cannot be explained in a moment.】

Upon hearing the Uchiha clan had perished,

Madara Uchiha showed no reaction on his face,

this outcome was unexpected,

yet perfectly logical!!!

He had long known,

that deep rift existed between the Uchiha clan and Konoha,

compounded by Tobirama Senju, ever watching with predatory intent.

Conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha was bound to erupt.

Unfortunately,

he alone among the entire Uchiha clan saw this truth.

Yet when he left Konoha back then,

not a single clan member was willing to follow him.

They thought they had expelled their clan leader,

but in truth,

it was he, their clan leader, who abandoned the entire Uchiha clan!!!

The Uchiha clan without him,

was like a tiger stripped of its claws and fangs!!

【Kushina Uzumaki: Naruto, don't you know who your mother is?!】

【Naruto Uzumaki: Mother?... I... I have no mother. Everyone says I'm an orphan...】

【Minato Namikaze: Third Hokage!!! Please explain—what is going on? You promised to protect Naruto, is this how you kept that promise?!】

【Hiruzen Sarutobi: Minato, let me explain... I concealed your identity from Naruto for his own good.】

【Orochimaru: Teacher Hiruzen... it seems you've become no different from Danzo now, hehe...】

At that moment,

the screen shuddered.

【Live stream countdown beginning!!!】

【Ten!!!】

【Nine!!!】

【Eight!!!】

【Seven!!!】

【Six!!!】

【Three!!!】

【Two!!!】

【One!!!】

【The livestream has officially begun!!】

The screen shook for a moment,

and a youth wearing the Senju clan's attire, with a watermelon-cut hairstyle, appeared on screen.

At this moment, he

was playing with pebbles in front of a small river that flowed endlessly.

His face was full of worry,

anyone could tell

that his heart was not at all happy right now!!!

【Hashirama Senju: ……He looks somehow very familiar……】

【Madara Uchiha: ……This is……you as a child?】

【Hiruzen Sarutobi: To think it's actually the First Hokage as a child……】

【Orochimaru: As expected of the legendary God of Ninja, at this age he already has such a degree of chakra volume and control!!! ……Is this the terrifying aspect of Wood Release?!!!!】

【Naruto Uzumaki: Hahahaha!!! So that's what the First Uncle looked like as a kid, this watermelon-cut is way too similar to Rock Lee!!! Hahahaha!!!】

【Rock Lee: Naruto!!!! Don't talk nonsense!! I!! ……How could I possibly be mentioned in the same breath as the First my lord!!!】

【Tsunade: So……this is what Grandpa looked like as a child……he looks about the same as Nawaki……】

【Madara Uchiha: Hashirama……do you remember……this is where we met, and where everything began……】

As the camera kept pulling back,

another youth appeared at this moment.

He had a hedgehog-head hairstyle,

and wore a deep purple robe.

【Sakura Haruno: Eh……why do I feel like he looks so much like Sasuke????】

【Naruto Uzumaki: Really though!!! Sakura, if you hadn't said it I wouldn't have noticed!!! This guy looks way too much like Sasuke!! The expression on his face is even more smug than Sasuke's!!!】

【Sasuke Uchiha: Shut up!!! Bai Chi!!! Are you trying to die!!!】

【Orochimaru: Uchiha……hehe……to actually possess such a similar appearance and feeling to Sasuke-kun……does such a coincidence truly exist in history?】

The hedgehog-head youth, while urinating toward the river, said.

"Hashirama, tell me, when will this war finally end……"

"I've grown tired of these meaningless wars."

"No beginning, no end, and we don't even know why it started……"
