Tobirama Senju's behavior was very strange.

The younger brother didn't seem shocked that Emiya Tsuchihara was involved with a Shinobi World rogue ninja organization, nor was he shocked that Shirou Emiya had hurt Tsunade.

"Tobirama— "

Hashirama Senju's gaze gradually turned heavy, and a certain guess suddenly formed in his mind. "What exactly is the reason?"

Tobirama Senju remained silent.

This question

It's really embarrassing to say it out loud.

The Shirou Emiya, once the greatest medical ninja in the Shinobi World, became the head of a dark organization is very likely due to the trouble he caused by his conflict with the organization before his death.

But..

This black pot—

It certainly doesn't belong to me alone.

"These things are indeed related to me."

Tobirama Senju slowly looked at Shirou Emiya, then added, "But the real culprit..."

It must be that guy, Madara—"

At this moment—

Tobirama Senju had vaguely come to understand many things.

He even guessed the most important part of it.

"Spot?"

Hashirama Senju somewhat surprised and confused.

This matter—.

How did this get involved with Madara Uchiha again?

"Madara Uchiha?"

Everyone present immediately thought of the terrifying figure who had once competed with Hashirama Senju, and everyone's expression turned solemn at this moment!

Especially the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen witnessed Madara Uchiha and Tsuchihara Emiya interacting with each other more than once during his youth, Tsuchihara Emiya's Akatsuki must be connected to Madara Uchiha!

"Tobirama, what exactly is going on?"

Hashirama Senju repeatedly pressed his younger brother for answers, asking, "How did you get involved with Madara again, Emiya -Lord Shirou?"

"Big brother—"

"After you pass away—"

"That Madara guy then had more dealings with Lord Shirou. He never gave up on using Lord Shirou. In fact, before I died, Madara successfully deceived and persuaded Lord Shirou to help him carry out his evil plot hidden in the shadows—."

Tobirama Senju could not hide the truth of the past from a victim, but he also would not hide from Hashirama Senju the reason for his conflict with Tsuchihara Emiya.

Certainly.

Even Tobirama Senju couldn't blame Shirou Emiya.

Because his elder brother Hashirama Senju, knew what kind of person Shirou Emiya. In the past, Shihara had always been a respected medical ninja, and even Tobirama Senju himself admitted this, acknowledging that Shihara was indeed a good person back then.

"Is that so, Lord Shirou?"

Hashirama Senju couldn't help but scratch his head.

If it's true that Shirou Emiya became like this because of the seduction and deception of his former friend Madara Uchiha, then it's really a bit embarrassing.

If it's because of Madara, I think I could actually help persuade Shirou Emiya to change his mind.

Although Hashirama Senju considered himself poor with words, he was determined to make Shirou Emiya realize the danger of his old friend Madara Uchiha. "That's not how it is."

"Bandit didn't choose to deceive me."

Shirou Emiya calmly shook his head, surprisingly defending Madara Uchiha, who wasn't even present. "To be precise, it should be that I guided Madara to find the path to Eternal Peace, and it is precisely because of this that the Akatsuki exists today—"

"The path to Eternal Peace?"

Hashirama Senju frowned.

Hashirama Senju didn't think there was anything wrong with Shirou Emiya guiding Madara Uchiha, because he had also received guidance from Emiya Shihara before.

After all, that era...

Emiya Tsuchihara was truly generous in guiding these younger generations.

Many of the unresolved questions that Hashirama Senju once had were answered by Shirou Emiya. He also guessed that Madara Uchiha must have gotten some answers to his questions from Shirou Emiya.

He also knew that the answer Ban received would not be liked by the world.

"Eternal peace—"

"This is what both you and Madara once wanted to pursue—"

Shirou Emiya looked at Hashirama Senju's face, as if lost in memories of the past. He didn't hide the real reason for his change of heart. "Hashirama, you once carried the hope of achieving Eternal Peace— "

"I once saw two paths for the future of the Shinobi World: one was born in you, and the other resided in Madara's Sharingan."

"It was never Madara who deceived me."

"After your death, a massive war broke out in the Shinobi World, proving that placing my hopes on you was not entirely the right choice. I want to see if Madara's chosen path can succeed."

"And your brother—."

Shirou Emiya's gaze slowly fell upon Tobirama Senju, and those calm, unwavering eyes sent a shiver Tobirama Senju: "Tobirama's actions have simply proven one thing to me: perhaps I should have chosen Madara long ago. You are merely using the name of protecting peace to walk a path that takes you further and further away from peace. The path Madara wants to take is the right one, so I have ultimately decided to guide Madara to find another way out for this world."

"!!!"

Hashirama Senju suddenly turned around and looked at Tobirama Senju again.

Tobirama—

Hashirama Senju felt a sense of unease.

What else has my good younger brother done?!

"So that's how it is—"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes at that moment and said in a low voice, "Is it because the Second Hokage used Lord Shirou's power for war, while Madara Uchiha helped Lord Shirou quell the First Shinobi World War?"

Tobirama Senju frowned, then spoke in a deep voice, "Madara's assistance to Lord Shirou the First Shinobi World War was perhaps an attempt to gain his trust and extract more secrets and power from him."

This is not slander.

Tobirama Senju's speculations about Madara Uchiha's actions were based on his own understanding of Madara Uchiha.

As for his use of Shirou Emiya, it was only out of necessity to protect Konoha!

For Konoha. —·

I have no choice but to pay any price!

I am willing to bear the consequences of these wrongdoings!

But.

There is one thing that Tobirama Senju could never conceal, and that is his offensive act against Shirou Emiya in the last moments of his life.

"I apologize, Lord Shirou."

Tobirama Senju looked at Shirou Emiya before continuing in a deep voice, "To prevent Madara Uchiha from using your power to harm Konoha or even the Shinobi World, I attempted to seal you within Lord Shirou Dead Demon Consuming Seal before my Death Reaper, which offended you..."

"!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils dilated.

Even Minato Namikaze looked at the other person with some surprise in his eyes!

Because the technique of Reaper Death Seal is the final seal used against an enemy, a technique that prevents the enemy's soul from finding peace even after death.

Since everyone will eventually die, people around the world always respect the dead and hope that they can find eternal peace in the Underworld. In this worldly view, preventing the dead from finding peace is the greatest disrespect!

No··

The Second Hokage's behavior goes beyond just being offensive!

Especially since the other party is Shirou Emiya!

The Second Hokage actually intends to seal Shirou Emiya inside the Death Reaper!

"Second Grandfather— "

Even Tsunade, who had been severely injured by Shirou Emiya, showed a hint of panic in her already empty eyes when she heard Tobirama Senju's words, because she had never known that the conflict between her Second Grandfather and Shirou Emiya had reached such a point.

"No wonder—"

Even Orochimaru's eyelids twitched when he heard this. He finally understood why Tobirama Senju's soul was sealed inside the Death Reaper.

"Tobirama, you!"

Hashirama Senju's face showed some annoyance, which quickly turned into a look of helplessness, because he also knew about the problem with his younger brother.

This younger brother.

He always regarded Madara Uchiha as an enemy.

Especially after Madara Uchiha attacked Konoha with the Nine-Tails, this younger brother regarded Madara Uchiha as an enemy that could not be eliminated.

But·

This younger brother's methods are too extreme!

Even if it's to prevent blemishes.

It's not worth hurting Shirou Emiya like this!

Hashirama Senju's memories were still from before his death, when the story of the medical ninja Shirou Emiya was still passed down through generations in the Shinobi World. He didn't care about anyone's identity and would help any patient in need, including Madara Uchiha.

If everyone in the Shinobi World receives his help, it's unreasonable to try to prevent the enemy from receiving his help.

They sealed a kind-hearted soul inside the body of Death Reaper!

This is really going too far!

If Tobirama Senju's Impure World Reincarnation Shirou Emiya with Tobirama Senju had already disturbed Shihara's soul, then the final attempt to seal Shirou Emiya's soul within Death Reaper's body, preventing him from finding peace, was an excessively cruel method, even when dealing with an enemy!

Moreover, this was directed at Emiya Tsuchihara, who had helped them countless times in the past!

"It's alright."

"I don't care anymore."

Shirou Emiya glanced at Tobirama Senju with a somewhat lifeless look in his eyes, as if he no longer cared about Tobirama Senju's actions. "If it weren't for you, perhaps I wouldn't have truly understood that this world has become beyond saving—"
