Had he truly been wrong to distribute the tailed beasts back then?
Even his own younger brother thought he had made a mistake!
And now, even his closest friend, Madara Uchiha, believed he was wrong!
Had he really been wrong?
Everything he had done was in the hope that peace would descend upon the Ninja World! Hadn't he distributed the tailed beasts because he hoped there would be no more wars in the future? But why had the wars not stopped?
At this moment, Hashirama Senju had fallen into a state of self-doubt...
Though he said he had done nothing wrong, a trace of doubt had already arisen in his heart regarding his actions...
Tobirama Senju: Those damned bastards! Using an alliance as a pretext to seize Konoha's Kekkei Genkai! How utterly despicable! Those damned bastards!!!
Minato Namikaze: I once fought the Fourth Raikage, so I know a little about him. He truly is an ambitious man! It isn't particularly surprising that he would do something like this!
Makoto Ito: Second Hokage, why are you getting so worked up? Besides, didn't they fail?
Tobirama Senju: Why am I so worked up? You tell me why I'm so worked up! Damn it, those bastards from the Land of Lightning came to Konoha and acted so outrageously! How could I not be worked up? How could I not be angry?
Makoto Ito: Uh... I mean, don't get so angry yet. If you're this angry now, I'm afraid you'll be so furious you'll die in a moment!
Tobirama Senju: What do you mean by that? What do you mean I'll be furious to death in a moment? Did something even more disgusting happen?
At that moment, Tobirama Senju felt his temples throbbing. Damn those bastards! Those people from the Land of Lightning using an alliance as a pretext to seize Konoha's Kekkei Genkai was already infuriating enough! Could there be something even more enraging?
Only then did Tobirama Senju realize that they had been talking about Hizashi Hyuga's death. Hinata Hyuga was still in Konoha now, which meant the Land of Lightning's operation had failed back then!
Then how had Hizashi Hyuga died?
Tobirama Senju: Hizashi Hyuga, you only told half the story just now. Keep going. How exactly did you die?
Did you die protecting your niece? No, that wasn't right. Didn't you say you died protecting your older brother? What exactly happened here?!
Hurry up and explain it to me clearly, in every detail! Damn it, I'm furious!
Don't tell me those Kumogakure ninja beat you to death? Then you were too useless! The younger brother of the Hyuga Clan's patriarch, beaten to death by those Kumogakure ninja!???
Hizashi Hyuga: N-No... that wasn't it... I wasn't beaten to death by those Kumogakure ninja. That Kumogakure ninja was killed by my older brother!
Tobirama Senju: That Kumogakure ninja was killed by your older brother? That's more like it! Then did the Land of Lightning offer any explanation?
Most importantly, they had been caught red-handed! Konoha should have demanded compensation from Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning, right?
Hizashi Hyuga: ...Second Hokage, none of what you said happened...
Makoto Ito: Caught red-handed? An explanation? Compensation?
Tobirama Senju: What is it, kid Makoto? Is there something wrong with what I said? They had already been caught red-handed. Shouldn't they provide compensation?
Makoto Ito: Yes, they should have provided compensation! To be honest with you, all of that did happen!
Tobirama Senju: Hmph! I knew it! If that monkey couldn't even handle something this simple, what was he doing as Hokage? He might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes! Those Kumogakure bastards from the Land of Lightning had practically shit on Konoha's head! They should have been crushed hard to curb their arrogance!
Fugaku Uchiha: Hehe, everyone says the Second Hokage was both wise and brave, with exceptional intelligence! But now that I look at him, why does he seem like such an idiot?
Tobirama Senju: What the hell did you say? You Evil Uchiha! Is there anything wrong with what I said?
Fugaku Uchiha: What is wrong? Won't you find out if you keep listening? Let Hizashi Hyuga continue...
Tobirama Senju: Hizashi, keep talking!
Hizashi Hyuga: Although Kumogakure's plot was exposed, and my older brother personally killed the Kumogakure ninja who came to abduct Hinata, they flatly denied the entire incident! They even turned around and accused us! They claimed that our Hyuga Clan had attacked and killed the delegation that had come to form an alliance for no reason at all!
Tobirama Senju: What the hell? Damn! Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning really has no shame! Do they not want even a shred of dignity?
Madara Uchiha: When it comes to shamelessness, I would call them the strongest.
Hashirama Senju: They really are shameless!
Izuna Uchiha: Go on. What happened afterward?
Hizashi Hyuga: Afterward, Kumogakure demanded that Konoha give them an explanation. They even kept applying pressure along the borders of the Land of Fire, demanding compensation from us!
Tobirama Senju: ???? Fuck you!!! So that was where all that talk about explanations, pressure, and compensation came from? It wasn't Konoha pressuring them, and it wasn't them compensating us—it was us compensating them?
Tobirama Senju: Hehehe!!! Wonderful! Fucking wonderful! Come on, keep talking! I want to see exactly what compensation Kumogakure wanted!
Hizashi Hyuga: Kumogakure demanded that Konoha hand over the culprit—the one who killed their ninja. That was my older brother, the patriarch of our Hyuga Clan!
Tobirama Senju: Fuck!!! This is too much! This is absolutely too much!
Minato Namikaze: How could they dare?
Hashirama Senju: What a joke! How could Konoha agree to hand over one of its own comrades? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Tobirama Senju: Wait! How did you say you died just now? You said you died in your older brother's place!
Don't tell me Konoha agreed to Kumogakure's terms!!!
Hizashi Hyuga: Sigh, there truly was no other way at the time, because...
Tobirama Senju: Shut up! I only want to know whether Konoha agreed to Kumogakure's terms! You only need to answer yes or no?!
At that moment, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, felt as though his lungs were about to explode from rage!
He had never felt so furious before!
Kumogakure had taken a shit on Konoha's head, then pissed on it after finishing!
Hizashi Hyuga: Yes...
