Ban never expected these little brats to be so inherently evil.
It wasn't even a disagreement; he was pinned to the ground and beaten before he could even say a word.
Don't let their young age fool you; these kids at the Ninja Academy are already far stronger than the average person.
Even a dead last like Naruto, who couldn't beat anyone at the Ninja Academy, could still scale walls and splash paint and excrement.
Previously, Madara used his frail body to wipe out the entire bandit family, but that only dealt with some ordinary people.
Moreover, Madara was prepared in advance, and these ordinary people also brought their own Weapons.
Only with his experience and skill, and the sharpness of his blade, could Ban eliminate his enemies.
These kids these days strike without warning, and with their bare hands, instantly triggering a "chaotic punches kill the master" cutscene.
Madara tried to shut down the Formula, trying to feel his body shut down, but suddenly found that he couldn't mobilize his Chakra at all.
His meager Chakra was entirely used to maintain the most basic bodily functions; he couldn't muster any more.
Moreover, he lacks self-control.
Madara's current Chakra control is like an old lady with Parkinson's disease trying to hold chopsticks; it's so shaky it looks like she's been electrocuted.
To shut it down, you'll need someone else's help.
" Thousand Years of Death!"
"Aruba!"
"Prepare to die!"
These little brats got more and more excited as they fought.
They discovered that no matter how much they hit the boy from another village, he wouldn't get hurt or cry out in pain.
It's like having a punching bag.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a mournful cry came from afar.
Young Hashirama, carrying large and small bags, stood at the end of the road. Seeing this scene, he was filled with immense anger and sorrow, and the things in his hands fell to the ground.
"Motor--"
Hashirama was about to shout, he suddenly remembered that they needed to hide themselves, so he changed his words, "Madama Madadane!"
The group of kids were stunned for a moment, not expecting that another show-off would appear after Sasuke graduated.
"You mushroom-headed country bumpkin, do you have a death wish?! Ugly as you are, yet you shout so loudly! You want to try our Konoha- ryu's unique Taijutsu like your friend?"
The kid who led the beating up of Madara stood up, hands on his hips, and pointed at Hashirama, mocking him.
"What did you say?"
Hashirama was stunned.
Is this still a child from Konoha?
Beating up Madara is one thing, but to even insult such a righteous and handsome First Hokage against one's will?
Does Konoha still have laws?
I'm furious!
Chakra's Hashirama Senju wasn't restricted. What he needed most right now was to control his strength so as not to kill a kid with one punch.
"Today I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!"
Hashirama leaped towards the children.
The children were not afraid.
Getting them some freckles boosted their confidence.
"Ouch!"
"Ah!"
"Help--"
Hashirama easily defeated the children one by one.
He even casually stuck the sausage skewers he had finished eating into a child's armpit.
"Stop!"
A voice rang out from the rooftop.
"You've gone too far! Which village are you from? You're a whole generation older than us, yet you dare to come to Konoha and bully the kids from the Ninja Academy!"
A little girl with orange hair jumped off the roof.
"Kid, you have to be reasonable! It was you guys from Konoha who bullied my friend first! My friend is still lying there!"
Hashirama was getting increasingly annoyed.
Back when Konoha was first established, everyone was so simple and honest.
When Madara helps someone who has fallen, the person is often startled by Madara's presence.
What about now?
I had heard long ago that Konoha has a serious bullying problem, with children being bullied from the Ninja Academy all the way to death, and no one caring about the other's strength at all.
Just how morally depraved are these people?
"Ah?"
The newcomer was Moegi from Konohamaru's team. She wasn't much older, but to be Konohamaru's teammate, her strength was still greater than that of students from the average Ninja Academy.
So when she appeared, the other kids immediately fell silent.
I'm going to let Moegi take the lead.
Moegi never expected that they would be the ones to cause trouble.
"We don't have any. Go check the guy; he doesn't have a single injury!"
"Yes, that's right. We're covered in injuries, but he's perfectly fine. He's faking it!"
The two kids were talking at once, blatantly lying through their teeth.
Hashirama was so angry he wanted to turn back into his original form and slap each of them.
He saw them playing with the aruba for Ban when he arrived.
They're still trying to argue their way out of this and turning the tables on us.
Even if Konoha undergoes reforms, will it still just be a false prosperity?
The roots of the Konoha rotted, the trunk rotted, leaving only a layer of bark and leaves!
If the fallen Konoha become nutrients to sustain these newborn beings, then the Shinobi World will only become more and more chaotic in the future!
Good people sacrifice themselves, becoming nourishment for evil?
Madara, lying on the ground, was so angry at these words that he laughed, "Is this the peace you wanted me to see? Ha—Hakimi! Ask yourself, do they deserve to enjoy peace? Does Konoha deserve it!"
"Ma--Dama-da-da-nee! You can't deny the entirety of Konoha because of a huge number of isolated cases. If you think Konoha is bad, then you should go and change it!"
Hashirama had initially thought so too, but Madara insisted on bringing it up to Konoha, which immediately threw Hashirama a panic.
What are their names?
Moegi looked left and right, somewhat confused.
These two people are named "Hakimi" and "Madamadadane"?
What a strange name!
"Um, you two can argue later."
After regaining her senses, Moegi quickly stepped between the two and looked at Madara, "So you really don't have any injuries at all, you were faking it?"
"..."
"Hey, say something!"
Hashirama panicked when he saw Madara remain silent.
"What did I say? Explain to these lowlifes?"
Madara gave Hashirama a cold look.
It's already shameful enough that he was beaten up by a child, and now he's expected to admit it himself?
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Hashirama was speechless and could only throw the question back at him.
"Either we uproot these cancerous growths in Konoha and get rid of them completely, or we let them continue, close our eyes, pretend we didn't see them, and consider this my bad luck being tied to you."
Ban spoke softly.
This unexpected turn of events caught Madara off guard, but he felt he could exploit it.
Hashirama will definitely feel guilty towards him because of this incident, which will give him more room to maneuver in the future.
"What?"
Hashirama never expected Madara to say such a thing.
To force him to choose, you'd even ignore the humiliation you suffered?
(Madara: Ignore you, huh? Once I'm resurrected, I'll unleash Tengai Shinsei on Konoha first!)
