Makoto Ito ignored everyone in the Chat Group and turned his gaze toward Sasuke Uchiha, who was acting outrageously arrogant.
Sasuke Uchiha had already activated his Sharingan and had even brazenly told Makoto Ito to attack first.
"Heh! Makoto Ito! Don't say I didn't warn you! Isn't your ninjutsu just a little stronger? But your taijutsu and speed are useless before these eyes of mine! Before these eyes, every one of your movements is meaningless!
"I'll defeat you easily and show you what the Uchiha Clan's glory really is!"
Tobirama Senju: Damn! Every other word out of his mouth is the Uchiha Clan's glory! The Uchiha Clan is already gone, so where's this glory coming from? People like this are the most annoying! Open his mouth, Uchiha glory; close his mouth, Uchiha glory. Why does he sound like such a fucking idiot?
Fugaku Uchiha: Stop talking. Please, stop talking!
Madara Uchiha: He really is a fucking idiot! If you have strength, that's called glory. If you don't, you're nothing! With that little bit of strength, he keeps shouting about Uchiha glory. He's disgraced the Uchiha Clan beyond redemption!
Izuna Uchiha: He activated a one-tomoe Sharingan and got this arrogant. If he knew Makoto Ito already had Three-Tomoe, what kind of expression would he make?
Tobirama Senju: Exactly! Kid, hurry up and activate your Three-Tomoe! Let him see what a real Sharingan looks like!
Makoto Ito: If you want me dead, just say so.
Tobirama Senju: What do you mean? I'm just telling you to activate your Three-Tomoe Sharingan. How would that get you killed?
Makoto Ito: Oh, right, you still don't know?! Why don't you ask Shisui Uchiha how he died?
Shisui Uchiha: ...Why am I being dragged into this again?
But everyone was curious about what Makoto Ito had said!
Tobirama Senju: Shisui, how did you die?
Madara Uchiha: Yeah, it sounds like there was more to it? Why is Konoha full of this bullshit every day? Why does it seem like everyone's death has some hidden truth behind it?
Hashirama Senju: ...There was no hidden truth behind your death. I beat you to death with my own hands!
Madara Uchiha: Shut up, Hashirama!
Tobirama Senju: Don't change the subject! Shisui, how exactly did you die?
Shisui Uchiha: I... I was...
Makoto Ito: Enough, enough. Why are you dragging it out? Didn't Danzo ambush you? Then he dug out your eyeball!
Tobirama Senju: ????????
Hashirama Senju: Ambushed?
Madara Uchiha: Dug out his eyeball??
Shisui Uchiha: ...That's how it happened...
Tobirama Senju: You're Kagami's descendant. Danzo... Danzo, how could he possibly do something like that? And from what was said earlier, weren't you loyal to Konoha's higher-ups? Why would he ambush you?
Makoto Ito: That's a long story.
Tobirama Senju: Stop dragging your feet and tell us!
Makoto Ito: Wasn't Shisui already completely fooled? He had no guard up against Danzo. He activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and foolishly told Danzo about it. The moment Danzo heard, he realized this was no small matter! How could such power be left in the hands of the Uchiha Clan? Even if you were loyal to Konoha, I'd still gouge out your eyeballs!
Anyway, that was roughly how it happened. Shisui foolishly let someone dig out his eye...
Madara Uchiha: He awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?
Tobirama Senju: Such a genius... how could this...
At that moment, Tobirama Senju's heart had already collapsed. He was clearly a genius of Konoha, clearly a genius of the Uchiha Clan who was loyal to Konoha! Most importantly, he was Kagami's descendant. Back then, Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Kagami had all been Tobirama's disciples!
How could Danzo have done something like that?
Makoto Ito: That's why I said activating Three-Tomoe would get me killed! Maybe if I activate Three-Tomoe now, I'll be invited away for tea after school, and then my eyeballs will be dug out!
Of course, if you're willing to give me all your strength so I can protect myself, I wouldn't mind activating Three-Tomoe right now and scaring Sasuke Uchiha.
However, Tobirama Senju did not answer Makoto Ito. He had already sunk into deep self-doubt...
Were the disciples I trained really all this worthless?
He had already learned what Hiruzen Sarutobi had done, and he had even thought that perhaps it would have been better if he had given Danzo the position of Hokage back then!
But he had never expected Danzo to be even more monstrous!
He was clearly a genius of Konoha! The future of Konoha! Yet he had been destroyed by you higher-ups?
That was the Mangekyō Sharingan! The same eyes as Madara Uchiha's! In other words, Konoha had gained another top-tier combatant, only for that top-tier combatant to be killed by his own people...
What had happened to Konoha now?
What kind of things had his disciples, whom he had trained for so many years, become?
No wonder Makoto Ito had not dared reveal his Three-Tomoe Sharingan just now. He was afraid of dying! How laughable—utterly laughable! What was the original purpose of founding a village? Wasn't it to protect these young saplings? Why had these saplings instead become disposable chess pieces for those in power?
Was this Konoha's Will of Fire now?
Did the Will of Fire now mean making newly sprouted leaves burn themselves to illuminate leaves that were about to wither?
Ever since the Chat Group had opened, Tobirama Senju had fallen into self-doubt several times. This time, he sank into it even more deeply!
Makoto Ito: Worth mentioning is that Itachi Uchiha also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. Though he wasn't much of a person, he truly was a genius! He was also a genius loyal to Konoha! But under pressure from the higher-ups, he had no choice but to slaughter his entire clan and become a Rogue Ninja...
But even after becoming a Rogue Ninja, he had continued secretly serving Konoha. All because Konoha's higher-ups—Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō—used Sasuke Uchiha's life to threaten him!
Fugaku Uchiha: Sigh...
The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had completely shut himself off and no longer wanted to say anything at all!
Madara Uchiha: Damn bastards! Damn Shimura Danzō, damn Hiruzen Sarutobi! If I ever get the chance, I truly want to tear those two apart with my own hands!
Hashirama Senju: Bastards! Is this Konoha now? Are these Konoha's higher-ups now? A bunch of bastards! I will never acknowledge them!!!
