Chapter 403

This war emerged,

larger in scale than any war before it!!

Countless ninja died in this battle!!

The human and financial losses caused by the war were unimaginable!!

When Tobirama Senju saw this scene,

though he had anticipated it,

he still felt utterly powerless!!

Tobirama Senju knew well,

that his own strength alone could not change much!!

Therefore,

he could only continuously leverage his strengths!!

And his strength was constantly developing various forbidden techniques!!

Due to (the) village's insufficient population,

Tobirama Senju often used enemy ninja for human experiments!!

Hashirama Senju was deeply dissatisfied with this,

he had rebuked Tobirama Senju more than once!!

Yet Tobirama Senju persisted stubbornly!!

Moreover, Tobirama Senju's reasoning was sound,

leaving Hashirama Senju with no rebuttal!!

In the end, the two could only agree,

that once the era of peace arrived fully,

Tobirama Senju would halt his research!!

Though dissatisfied with Hashirama Senju's actions! But!

Yet Tobirama Senju knew,

his elder brother's words held some truth!!

The forbidden techniques he developed were simply too powerful!!

If mishandled,

they would be a disaster for the entire ninja world!!

Therefore,

Tobirama Senju sealed away many of his forbidden techniques!!.

177. Ōtsutsuki Aoi's counterattack! Begins assault on the ninja world!

After Hashirama Senju's death,

Tobirama Senju continued striving to uphold his elder brother's vision of peace!!

So he clearly understood,

that to realize this vision,

one absolutely needed immense power!!

When signing a peace treaty with the Hidden Cloud Village,

Tobirama Senju never expected,

that the Kinshiki and Ginkaku brothers launched a coup!!

Even the Second Raikage fell victim to their treachery!!

For Konoha's future,

Tobirama Senju could only reluctantly sacrifice himself!!

The history of the ninja world seemed to sink again into a strange cycle!!

【Tobirama Senju: So this is how I died… What a miserable way to go… I never thought the Hidden Cloud Village couldn't even control their own ninja!!】

【Fourth Raikage: Second Hokage!! We're victims too, okay!! The Second Raikage truly intended to sign the peace treaty with you!! But no one expected the Kinshiki and Ginkaku brothers would launch a coup!!】

【Orochimaru: Heh… This proves Hashirama Senju's path of 520 was utterly futile—once he left this world, the word "peace" became a joke!!】

【Jiraiya: If… we could find the prophesied child spoken of by the Great Toad Sage, perhaps all of this could change…】

【Tsunade: Jiraiya!! Can you stop being so naive!! How much longer are you going to cling to this joke about a prophesied child?!】

【Ōnoki: Heh… Konoha is a ridiculous place… full of so many naive fools…】

【Terumi: The Kinshiki and Ginkaku brothers are terrifying… two Kage have fallen to them…】

…

The white screen continued playing its content,

until Naruto Uzumaki and the others were born, when it finally went dark!!

Now the white screen had gone dark,

the black screen began playing something else!!

The scene shifted,

at this time, Ōtsutsuki Aoi also began consolidating the power of the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon!!

He was eager to attack the ninja world,

to let Hashirama Senju witness the power he had gained!!

To Ōtsutsuki Aoi,

At this moment, his self-confidence had swelled to the absolute limit!!

He had never believed Otsutsuki Hamura's judgment to be true!!

"Lord Qingshi… all the clansmen are already prepared…"

"At your word of command, they can set out to attack the ninja world at any time and any place…"

One of the Otsutsuki clan members stepped forward and said excitedly!!

For him,

he had also longed for this moment for a very long time!!

He believed,

under the leadership of Otsutsuki Qingshi,

their Otsutsuki clan could certainly take the ninja world with ease!!

This was the confidence in their hearts!!

Every single member of the Otsutsuki clan had witnessed Otsutsuki Qingshi's Tenseigan,

so they were also very confident in their clan leader's pair of eyes!!

When Otsutsuki Qingshi had not yet awakened the Tenseigan,

he was already the strongest ninja of the Otsutsuki clan!!

And now, Otsutsuki Qingshi,

after he obtained the Tenseigan,

just how strong his power was,

these ordinary Otsutsuki clan members did not even dare to imagine!!

After all, even their ancestor Otsutsuki Hamura had not awakened the Tenseigan,

yet their clan leader Otsutsuki Qingshi had accomplished this!!

This alone gave them an unparalleled confidence in their clan leader!!

They believed,

Otsutsuki Qingshi could certainly lead their Otsutsuki clan to a new height!!

"Understood… you may step down first…"

"Let the clansmen rest well… a fierce battle may be coming next!!"

"This battle concerns the future of our Otsutsuki clan…"

"If we win, both worlds will belong to our Otsutsuki clan; if we lose…"

Otsutsuki Qingshi waved his hand,
