Chapter 543

Seeing the uncertain, suspicious look in the Sage of Six Paths' eyes,

Madara Uchiha knew that the Sage of Six Paths did not believe what he had said,

Thinking of the Sage of Six Paths' thoughts,

The smile on Madara Uchiha's face grew even more contemptuous!!!!!

This fellow, the Sage of Six Paths, had not yet seen Hashirama Senju's true talent,

Madara Uchiha understood deeply that his own talent was utterly insignificant compared to Hashirama Senju's,

Hashirama Senju was the most terrifying person in this world!!!!!

311. The Clash of Ideals — there is no right or wrong, only victory and defeat!!

The renewed confrontation between the Sage of Six Paths, Madara Uchiha, and Hashirama Senju

also let everyone see clearly his true colors at last,

or rather,

only now did they completely cast aside the filter over their own eyes,

to properly observe just what manner of being the Sage of Six Paths truly was?!

And this time, the Sage of Six Paths' appearance

also let them see clearly at last,

perhaps this was what their true progenitor of ninja really looked like,

The Sage of Six Paths' various actions also let them understand

why their own world had come to be the way it was now!!

It turned out their world had had certain problems at the root from the very beginning,

and the one who had caused all of this was none other than the progenitor of their ninja world, the Sage of Six Paths!!!

【Jiraiya: The older a person gets, the easier it is for them to fall into a wrong path — that old fellow the Sage of Six Paths is the best proof of it. If he had not been the way he was, perhaps our world would not be the way it is now!!!】

【Orochimaru: Jiraiya… perhaps everything you've said has some truth to it, but that old man the Sage of Six Paths is really no different from the Third's old man either. They have probably both gotten on in years, which is why they would do such things…】

【Tsunade: Indeed… how high-spirited the Third's old man was when he was young!! He was honored throughout the entire ninja world as the Professor of Ninjutsu, but after he got on in years, his various actions — I cannot understand why he did the things he did. Getting so close to that fellow Danzo was the worst decision the Third's old man ever made!!!】

【Fourth Raikage: Heh… the Third Hokage you all speak of had long since been completely corrupted by power. Apart from clinging to his authority in Konoha and never letting go, what real contributions had he ever actually made for Konoha?】

【Minato Namikaze: The biggest mistake of my life was probably trusting that old fellow the Third… the way he is leaves me utterly speechless — I don't even know what I should say to him… I gave my all for Konoha, yet how did he treat my own child…】

【Kushina Uzumaki: If I get the chance to come back to life, the very first thing I will do is not let those two old fellows, the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo, off the hook!!!】

……

In the Valley of the End,

Watching the discussion in the livestream, a deep blankness appeared on Hashirama Senju's face.

Although he did not understand the interpersonal relationships of these later generations,

and he did not seem to possess any political awareness either,

Hashirama Senju was not a fool,

he simply could not be bothered to think about these things on a normal day,

after merely listening for a little while,

he had already sorted out exactly who these people were,

the Konoha he had founded with his own hands seemed to have already become a product of power struggles.

The Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage actually had such a huge dispute — was this still the Konoha of his ideals?

In Hashirama Senju's philosophy, the Konoha he had founded with his own hands was a harmonious big family,

where the status of every single person was equal,

The Hokage was merely a position for contributing to the people of Konoha. Although it carried great authority,

that authority was all based upon his duties,

what he truly ought to do was regard every person in Konoha as his own family, and devote his heart to making his own contribution for every single person in Konoha,

but now the things that had happened between the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Minato Namikaze

thoroughly shook Hashirama Senju to the core,

only now did he realize that the Konoha of his ideals and the Konoha he had actually founded seemed to have some differences,

so if one were to extrapolate from this situation,

would he not, in the end, drift further and further from the Konoha of his ideals?!

Originally, Hashirama Senju had been utterly firm in his ideals,

believing that he alone was the one who had made the most correct decisions,

but the present Hashirama Senju was thoroughly shaken,

because he discovered that what Madara Uchiha had said was actually the correct thing,

and what he had been doing all along was not what he truly ought to have been doing??

Hashirama Senju felt that the him of now seemed to no longer be the him of his own impression!!!

And Madara Uchiha likewise saw clearly the power struggles happening within Konoha,

and through the livestream he had also used this information to roughly reconstruct the full picture of what had happened back then,

the Konoha founded by Hashirama Senju seemed to have grown darker and darker,

the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze — the two of them actually had such a huge dispute,

In Madara Uchiha's memory,

the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, seemed to be the disciple of that scheming fellow Hashirama's father,

which also explained why there was such a huge conflict between the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage,

That guy Tobirama Senju has nothing but schemes and tricks in his head,

always thinking about how to keep power firmly in his own hands,

he never trusts anyone,

even though their Uchiha clan made such a huge contribution to the founding of Konoha,

yet Tobirama Senju has always been on guard against their Uchiha clan,

and he, Madara Uchiha, is deeply suspected by Tobirama Senju.

583 "Hashirama… I told you long ago that the ideals you cling to have problems, that the ideals you cling to will only plunge this world into utter darkness!!!"

"But when I told you these things you never took them seriously, always thinking I was joking—you've fallen into your own obsession!!!"

"Hashirama… join me… only the two of us together can carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan, you and I working together can create a better future for this world, just like when we were together at the very beginning!!!

Watching the wavering expression on Hashirama Senju's face,

Madara Uchiha also began to continuously speak many beguiling words,

although Madara Uchiha did not believe that his words could move Hashirama Senju,

and make him completely accept his ideals and join his actions.

But Madara Uchiha still did not want to give up on this,

if this world lost Hashirama Senju,

then for Madara Uchiha it would simply be too boring,

he would probably never be able to find anyone in this world who could be his opponent!!!

He did not want the world he would create in the future to be a boring world!!!.

312, Hashirama Senju Who Refuses Once Again!!

But only now does Hashirama Senju understand,

he knows exactly how he and Uchiha Ban differ!!!

Or rather, in Hashirama Senju's eyes,

these differences between himself and Madara Uchiha,

are the foundation on which he can surpass Madara Uchiha!!

If he did not have these completely different points from Uchiha Ban,

wouldn't he and Madara Uchiha be exactly the same?

And Madara Uchiha, looking at Hashirama Senju at this moment, also felt something increasingly off,

because he discovered that compared to himself, Hashirama Senju
