Peace Means Handing the Ninja World Over to Uchiha

"The leaders have made their move."

Dozens of kilometers apart, Kakuzu and Sasori gazed at each other.

The heart of the Death Forest is now covered in a massive cloud of smoke and dust.

The air was filled with terrifying chakra.

Amidst a vast ocean, Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi rode the Kinkaku and Ginkaku Brothers, their massive chakra claws extending to repel the attacking Pain puppets.

Nagato... seems to really want Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

It started when they unleashed the Nine-Tails Chakra.

So... Nagato wanted the Tailed Beast Chakra?

Based on the strength he has demonstrated, it is no less than that of the Nine-Tails; it's unlikely he's simply after some Tailed Beast Chakra...

Lacking crucial intelligence, we cannot understand his purpose.

However, this guy's idea is to start a huge war; as long as we don't let him succeed, that's fine.

Tobirama Senju wasn't a hot-blooded type; he was always gathering intelligence and thinking about countermeasures.

Unless it's someone like Uchiha Madara or Hashirama Senju, who can completely overpower others with sheer brute force and meticulously target one person, even Uchiha Izuna, who was once known as having no weaknesses, fell into his hands.

After several encounters and the destruction of several Pain bodies, Tobirama Senju had gathered a considerable amount of information.

First, there is 'sharing of Rinnegan vision'.

Nagato is undoubtedly the original body, and the six Rinnegan puppets he controls share his vision.

A comprehensive view, plus the previous Bringer-of-Darkness Technique had also failed...

Tobirama Senju originally considered the Human Path, which could extract souls, as his primary target, and killed it twice when he had the opportunity.

However, it was repaired by the Hell Path.

The summoning abilities of the Animal Path, the weapons of the Asura Path, the absorption ninjutsu of the Preta Path...

Tobirama Senju's gaze fell on Deva Path Pain.

From the expressions on Nagato and Konan during their battle, he discerned the special nature of the Deva Path.

He is currently known to possess powerful repulsive and gravitational ninjutsu.

Having experienced being pierced by Kagami Uchiha's Black Rod, Tobirama Senju knew that it was a product of Yin-Yang Release.

Nagato's Black Rod were far less pure than Kagami Uchiha's, but they were still the same thing...

Thoughts collided quickly, Tobirama Senju whispered to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Monkey, when I attack the one who should be the leader of Pain, Nagato and Konan will come to the rescue. You destroy the guy who can repair the other Pain."

Hiruzen Sarutobi his Golden Staff, somewhat hesitant. "Tobirama- sensei, that should be Jiraiya's disciple Yahiko. If you do this, things will really get out of hand."

He could tell that although Orochimaru and Jiraiya were locked in a fierce battle on the other side of the battlefield, neither of them was going all out...

That's not entirely true. Jiraiya still went all out, after all, he knew that even if he killed Orochimaru could be resurrected.

Most importantly...

If Jiraiya acted with the intention of killing Orochimaru, he wouldn't have been a match for Orochimaru at all!

Even if Orochimaru didn't know the two great sages of Mount Myōboku, didn't he know Jiraiya?

Orochimaru had at least two opportunities to severely injure Jiraiya, but he didn't, which earned him a barrage of taunts from the Three Great Snake Princesses.

He was Kagami Uchiha's teacher.

Orochimaru used this one sentence to shut down the Three Snake Princesses.

The fear of Kagami Uchiha was only a small part of the reason; Orochimaru, being a researcher, was truly fearless.

Even now, he still covets Kagami Uchiha's body. If all else fails, he might even dare to attack other outstanding Uchiha, but he won't be as reckless as Hiruko.

Most importantly.

He genuinely had no intention of killing Jiraiya.

It happened back then...

Because Jiraiya's injury would be a burden to the team.

When he was about to kill him, the guy was still smiling at him like an idiot.

Bonds are not a good thing.

However... unless Jiraiya stops him from pursuing immortality, he also enjoys this kind of struggle.

Tsunade has lost her own ambitions and is no longer worthy of being called Three Legendary Sannin.

Orochimaru was pleased with Jiraiya's change.

I just want to live forever... to learn all the skills and see countless interesting things.

"Monkey, you're getting more and more indecisive."

Tobirama Senju a deep voice, "We also need to consider whether the enemy will be provoked?"

"It's because of your wavering attitude that your Face Rock has been chiseled away!"

Tobirama- sensei... you still care about Face Rock after all...

Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not refute, and obediently lowered his head to accept the scolding.

"You heard what that brat said just now..."

"He harbored deep hatred for the Shinobi World, and I know he must have gone through a lot of painful experiences."

"Their dislike for us is also very obvious."

"I've had enough of the tragedies of the Warring States Period, and the system of one ninja village per country is also wrong."

"The longest-lasting and most perfect method I can think of..."

Tobirama Senju a deep breath, seemingly having made a difficult decision.

"Unify the Shinobi World and hand it over to Kagami Uchiha to rule!"

"There must be an absolute superpower that disregards resource interests, acting as a check on the world."

"If such a future occurs, there will be no more Shinobi World War; at most, it will just be the current training mode."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Tobirama Senju in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that such words would come from Tobirama -sensei's mouth.

Tobirama looked intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Do you know why I think this way..."

"Uchiha lose love, they will develop extreme hatred."

"That's the Uchiha Madara, and more recently there's the example of Uchiha Obito."

"I hate Kagami Uchiha, but I believe he won't lose."

"I only made the final decision to carry out this plan a few days ago."

"Slaughter all the powerful figures in the current Shinobi World, except for those from the Land of Fire!"

Tobirama Senju's words were chillingly cold.

"In that case, the Land of Fire will naturally take over the Shinobi World, and we can return to the Pure Land in peace. Even if Uchiha Madara resurrected, it will be none of our business."

"Tobirama -sensei, didn't you say you would never agree with Kagami..."

Tobirama Senju shook his head. "I don't agree with him yet."

"I simply chose the path that would result in the least sacrifice and allow the Shinobi World to prolong peace as much as possible."

"This is unfair to some people, but it ensures fairness for the most people."

"A strict rule is better than the current chaos in the Shinobi World."

Now that you put it that way, Hiruzen Sarutobi understood.

It means choosing the lesser of two evils.

Even though Kagami Uchiha is bad, at least he hasn't caused any major trouble in recent years.

If Uchiha Madara and Nagato in front of me had the power of Kagami Uchiha...

Tobirama was confident in his judgment of character; he believed these two would cause the deaths of at least half the Shinobi World.

This is due to a lack of intelligence.

If Tobirama Senju knew that the source of the chaos in the Shinobi World was the reason why Kagami Uchiha extracted the Dragon Vein...

——

Outside the barrier.

Hashirama Senju caught a Sharingan Kagami Uchiha and asked curiously, "How is it? I can't see clearly."

Kagami Uchiha ignored him.

The entire arena was within his barrier; if he wanted, no one's words or actions could escape his perception.

Neither Tobirama Senju nor Nagato could stir his emotions.

Different dimensions.

Kagami Uchiha had higher aspirations.

Within the spiritual realm.

Above the blood-red sky above the dome are four magnificent black Tomoe.

The black wisps surged and seemed to transform into a new form.
