Shirou Emiya's Power

"Now..."

"Their surname is Uchiha."

"The Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan have fought for generations."

As though he had found a kindred spirit, Tobirama Senju began speaking of his dissatisfaction with the Uchiha. "My brother defeated the Uchiha Clan and persuaded them to join Konoha, but there are still evil people among them, just like their ancestors..."

Tobirama Senju had failed to notice something.

Konoha Village's Hokage Assistant had been listening to the stories Shirou Emiya told, and his trust in Shirou Emiya was rapidly growing. These were all stories he loved hearing.

Yet Tobirama Senju could not possibly suspect someone from over a thousand years ago. All he knew was that he had found solid evidence from Shirou Emiya's words to justify keeping watch over the Uchiha Clan!

"Brother..."

Tobirama Senju's expression darkened as he brought up someone he despised. "He was also wounded by an Uchiha born evil..."

"That man... was called Madara Uchiha."

When Tobirama Senju mentioned that name, he made no effort to hide the hatred and disgust in his voice. "Back then, my brother invited him to bring an end to the chaotic age together. Yet that man betrayed my brother's trust. Leaving Konoha would have been one thing, but when he returned, he even tried to destroy Konoha and kill my brother, plunging the Shinobi World back into the flames of the Warring States Period..."

Fortunately.

Madara Uchiha was finally dead.

His brother would no longer have to be bound by that man.

Shirou Emiya sighed, seemingly regretful. "It sounds like this Madara Uchiha you mentioned was as warlike as his ancestor..."

"Back then..."

"Ashura wanted everyone to understand one another."

"But Indra wanted to rule the Shinobi World."

"Though they were blood brothers, they began fighting over their different ideals and never stopped, not even in death..."

"Hmph!"

"This is the evil inherited through their bloodline!"

Tobirama Senju's expression was extremely grim as he harshly criticized the Uchiha Clan. "Just like the evil Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan, inherited by the Uchiha Clan for generations..."

"The power of the Sharingan..."

Shirou Emiya began speaking of the Sharingan's history. "Back then, I discovered that the Sharingan's power slowly drove Indra to become extreme..."

"That's right."

"I have also studied the power of the Sharingan."

"This Kekkei Genkai is inevitably controlled by emotions."

Tobirama Senju knew the Sharingan very well. As though he had met a kindred spirit, he frankly laid it all out. "Because the evolution of the Sharingan is influenced by Chakra born from extreme emotions..."

"This also means..."

"The more powerful an Uchiha is, the more easily they are driven to extremes."

"And the more extreme an Uchiha becomes, the more likely they are to grow stronger..."

This was an unsolvable problem.

If an Uchiha's emotions could not be guided in the right direction and they refused to live peacefully, they would eventually become extremely dangerous.

They had to be watched!

They had to be watched strictly!

They had to be gathered together and watched strictly!

Tobirama Senju secretly resolved to put his plan into action. Konoha did not have enough manpower to watch every Uchiha, so they had to be concentrated in one place for surveillance.

For now, these Uchiha were still comrades.

He needed to establish a new department for them.

This department would be managed exclusively by the Uchiha Clan. Their residences would also be grouped together, while Anbu secretly dispatched people to keep them under close watch.

Konoha Hospital.

Security here was exceptionally tight.

Because the battle between Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, and Madara Uchiha had been so massive, its aftermath had altered the terrain of the Shinobi World and formed a canyon at the site of their battle.

That battle could not possibly have been concealed from the other ninja villages.

Ninja villages from other countries had sent people to infiltrate Konoha and seek information about Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage. Since the First Hokage's safety concerned the peace of the Shinobi World, Konoha could only tightly seal off all information regarding him.

"Sasuke."

Tobirama Senju suddenly called out loudly.

"..."

Shirou Emiya's eyelid twitched.

No...

This was not right either, was it?

Why had Sasuke suddenly appeared?

Shouldn't this era be only a few years after Konoha's founding?

According to his memories from his previous life, this should have been just after the Valley of the End Battle between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. Why had a Sasuke appeared too?

"Lord Tobirama!"

A young ninja strode forward.

The young ninja looked at Shirou Emiya beside Tobirama Senju, his gaze carrying a trace of confusion and his voice tinged with caution.

"Lord Tobirama, this is..."

"This is Lord Shirou."

Tobirama Senju trusted this young ninja greatly and spoke in a deep voice. "Sasuke, everyone can rest easy now. There is no need to worry about the village's situation."

"I used a forbidden technique to revive Lord Shirou and asked him to treat my brother's injuries. You should have heard of his name. My brother's injuries will no longer be a problem."

"Is this the great medical ninja, Lord Shirou?"

A look of amazement flashed across the young ninja's face. He stared at Shirou Emiya in disbelief. "I grew up hearing Lord Shirou's name. I never imagined that one day I would actually see him in person..."

"This is Sarutobi Sasuke, the Jonin Squad Leader of Konoha."

After introducing the young ninja to Shirou Emiya, Tobirama Senju gave Sarutobi Sasuke an order. "Sasuke, keep Lord Shirou's matter strictly confidential from the people of the village..."

Although Tobirama Senju held Konoha's power as the Hokage Assistant, he had not imposed a true dictatorship.

While Hashirama Senju was injured, the other ninja clans in the village were also uneasy and had a certain right to know about the situation.

If something truly went wrong...

Konoha would certainly face hostility from the other ninja villages.

At a time like this, Tobirama Senju had to unite the ninja clans in the village, lest Konoha collapse over his brother's condition so soon after its founding.

The Sarutobi Clan was one of Konoha's larger ninja clans.

Within Konoha Village, the Nara Clan, Akimichi Clan, and Yamanaka Clan—the three clans of Ino-Shika-Cho—had followed the Sarutobi Clan since the Warring States Period.

Sarutobi Sasuke had always been helping stabilize the other ninja clans, preventing panic from spreading throughout the village. Introducing Shirou Emiya to him was also meant to reassure him.

Tobirama Senju had Sarutobi Sasuke protect his brother in order to show that he trusted these ninja clans enough. At the very least, compared to the internally independent Hyuga Clan and Uchiha Clan, the Sarutobi Clan was indeed trustworthy.

"I'll take Lord Shirou to the ward first."

Tobirama Senju patted Sarutobi Sasuke on the shoulder. As he stepped forward to lead the way, he praised him to Shirou Emiya. "Sarutobi Sasuke is a ninja with an unyielding temperament, and he is also the head of the Sarutobi Clan. In many respects, even I cannot compare to him..."

"Speaking of which, his child, Sarutobi Hiruzen, is also an outstanding student. At such a young age, he has already mastered his clan's Summoning Technique..."

As Tobirama Senju said this, he cast a subtle glance at Shirou Emiya, seemingly hoping Shirou Emiya would bring up some stories about the Sarutobi Clan's ancestors.

"..."

Shirou Emiya looked at Tobirama Senju in surprise.

Did he want him to say something about the Sarutobi Clan's past too?

He did not know the Sarutobi Clan's past. He only knew the Sarutobi Clan's future.

Meeting Tobirama Senju's gaze, Shirou Emiya gently shook his head. "In my era, there was no Sarutobi Clan yet..."

"In the era when the Ninja Sect had just been established..."

"Only the Sage of Six Paths had a surname within the Ninja Sect."

"The Ninja Sect?"

"The Sage of Six Paths?"

Tobirama Senju stopped in his tracks and stared hard at Shirou Emiya. He asked instinctively, "Could it be that Lord Shirou actually met the god of legend?"

"A god?"

Shirou Emiya looked somewhat surprised. He studied Tobirama Senju curiously. "The Senju Clan... does it not have any records of the Sage of Six Paths?"

"..."

Tobirama Senju shook his head, then nodded. "To our era, the Sage of Six Paths is the creator god of myth. He wielded the Sword of Nunoboko to quell the disasters of the Shinobi World, spread Chakra throughout the Shinobi World, and founded the Ninja Sect of the Ancient Era..."

"He was all right."

Shirou Emiya was noncommittal about the Sage of Six Paths as he casually dropped a bombshell. "I thought the Senju Clan would have records of it, because the Sage of Six Paths was the father of your clan's ancestor Ashura and the Uchiha Clan's ancestor Indra..."

"..."

Tobirama Senju's heart began pounding uncontrollably.

Such a secret...

He had never heard of it before!

The ancestors of the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan had actually been the Sage of Six Paths!

It was easy to imagine what it would mean if news about their progenitor leaked out. What a pity that this information had come too late.

Of course.

It would have been even better if he had not also been the ancestor of the Uchiha Clan.

The Uchiha Clan was already arrogant and unruly. If they learned that their ancestor was the Sage of Six Paths, would they not become even more overbearing in the village?

"The Sage of Six Paths was a good man."

Shirou Emiya ignored Tobirama Senju's concerns and continued on his own. "Back then, I introduced the concept of medical ninjas to this world. The Sage of Six Paths was the first person to donate his body after death for human experimentation and medical research..."

Of course.

Shirou Emiya did not mention another truth.

The Sage of Six Paths' body had not been voluntarily donated.

Because the Ninja System had generated a mission commission to recover the Sage of Six Paths' body, and he had relied on an ally to complete that mission.

Only after obtaining the Sage of Six Paths' body had he truly gained enough power to establish himself in this world after crossing over. Unfortunately, the Sage of Six Paths' body had ultimately not granted him immortality. Otherwise, he would not have needed to cross death itself to arrive here today...

On the surface, Shirou Emiya did not seem weak.

In reality, Shirou Emiya was indeed quite strong.

Simply being able to use any technique without hand seals gave him an incomparable advantage in battle. Not to mention ultimate Kekkei Genkai like the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and Rinnegan, as well as the Six Paths Sage Mode that surpassed ordinary ninjas.

But...

His Impure World state still prevented him from displaying his true power.

What a pity.

He had been revived too early.

Shirou Emiya looked at Tobirama Senju walking ahead of him.

Tobirama Senju...

Was not someone easy to deceive.

He was accustomed to wanting everything under his control.

Shirou Emiya had noticed that the moment he was revived.

Tobirama Senju had tried to control him, but because he was a gentle, good man, Tobirama Senju had temporarily abandoned that thought.

What a pity.

If someone evil had revived him with the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, he could have properly deceived them and used the Rinnegan he had left in this world to truly revive himself...
