The Masked Man and Madara Uchiha.
One reason is to pursue their career for love.
One is sacrificing love for the world.
During his "Dating Operation" with Grandma Chiyo, Madara Uchiha didn't come away empty-handed.
He was surprised to find that there were more anthropomorphic people in Sunagakure than in Konoha.
Indeed, he and Hashirama are in their original forms now, and they have the highly respected Grandma Chiyo of Sunagakure by their side. Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't bother them.
However, the difference can also be seen in other details.
The Sunagakure is currently very harmonious.
They harbored no ill will towards them, nor towards the other ninjas and villagers.
After learning that the current Kazekage was the Jinchuriki of the One-Tail Shukaku, Madara decided to gather some information in preparation for collecting the Tailed Beast after his resurrection.
The intelligence obtained was also surprising.
Gaara did experience bullying when he was a child.
At that time, Gaara was still a serial killer.
This gives the impression that the people of Sunagakure are willing to risk their lives to uphold their bullying ninja way.
But that's not actually the case.
First of all, Gaara's father Rasa, personally led the bullying of Gaara and even Gaara others to join in.
Secondly, no adult would dare to bully Gaara unless they received an order from Rasa.
Those who try to bully Gaara are all ignorant and fearless children, and these children become much more obedient after being dragged back and beaten up by adults.
Unlike in Konoha, where everyone, from adults to children, bullies each other.
Regardless of the opponent's strength or weakness, and regardless of whether the opponent might have a mental breakdown and kill his entire family, the bullying ninja way must be upheld.
They were just like a bunch of bloodthirsty villagers.
Those who don't know might think they're like those characters in some recent novels, each possessing a "divine indicator" that allows them to be reborn into another world and become a tycoon if they're killed by the forces of justice.
Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why the villagers of Konoha are so obsessed with bullying.
When discussing this topic, one person inevitably comes to mind.
The White Fang who was bullied by the Konoha to the point of suicide was also Grandma Chiyo's enemy.
"What a kind and noble ninja. He broke the rules to save his comrades, and even though he wasn't understood, he didn't choose to harm others. Instead... sigh, what a pity."
Hashirama Senju sighed.
"Wrong, that Hatake Sakumo is a cowardly coward."
Madara snorted coldly, refuting Hashirama's point of view.
"No, Madara, that's going too far!"
Hashirama frowned.
Even if you want to win over Grandma Chiyo and say things in accordance with Grandma Chiyo wishes, you can't distort the truth, can you?
" Hashirama, you have a high opinion of Uchiha Itachi, right? You think he, like you, bore the burden of the village's darkness..."
"Then, didn't you ever consider that if Hatake Sakumo truly cared about the village and future generations, he should also bear this darkness?"
Madara Uchiha spoke slowly.
"You mean?"
Hashirama sensed that Madara's actions this time weren't simply to please Grandma Chiyo; he seemed to have his own reasons. He immediately became serious.
"If he truly cared about the village and wanted it to improve, he should have gone to the Hokage immediately and let Hokage handle it..."
"?"
Hashirama was stunned when he heard Madara say this.
Why not just kill them all at once?
Is this still considered a freckle?
Can love really change a person?
"If the Hokage can't handle it, or if he just deals with it half-heartedly, then the second thing he needs to do is kill all those who are making sarcastic remarks as quickly as possible."
That's right.
Hearing Madara say that, Hashirama was immediately relieved, patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Madara glanced at Hashirama with a puzzled look, and continued:
"Then go assassinate that incompetent, useless Hokage."
Whether he succeeds or fails, he is a true hero.
Otherwise, he would be a complete failure.
Suicide, that's the epitome of cowardice.
"Yes, yes, that's right."
Hashirama hearing these lines that matched Madara's style.
Then, suddenly realizing what Madara had said, his expression changed drastically, and he waved his hands, exclaiming, "No, no, Madara, how could you say such a thing!"
"What's wrong with that? By doing this, he sacrificed his own reputation to show future generations that if anyone dares to treat war heroes like that, and pushes them too far, they will all face certain death."
This will serve as a deterrent to the inherently evil villagers of Konoha.
Honestly, even with this deterrent, I don't think they'll necessarily take it seriously.
Perhaps only through generations of " Konoha White Fang " constantly killing can the atmosphere of Konoha be reversed.
These are the true war heroes.
Instead of cowardly committing suicide after being bullied, thus encouraging the bullies to bully others even more recklessly in the future!
Ban Yan shouted sternly.
Hashirama suddenly realized that what he heard made a lot of sense.
The key point is that Madara's theory is entirely based on his past actions of killing Madara and Uchiha Itachi's massacre of the Uchiha clan, which were based on the idea of "bearing the darkness for the sake of the village."
"But this isn't exactly a heinous crime, is it? To kill them just for these things... isn't that a bit..."
Hashirama frowned deeply.
He had actually held this view a few days earlier back in Konoha.
Those children did bully Madara and became part of the bad atmosphere in Konoha, but ultimately they couldn't be considered "utterly wicked."
Is it too much to solve this problem with extreme, one-size-fits-all killings?
Is there really no way to solve this through education?
" Hashirama, don't you understand yet? It's precisely because of their petty evil deeds that the darkness of the Shinobi World has been born."
Can you guarantee that all future ninjas will grow up to be as silly and cheerful as Might Guy, giving others a thumbs-up even when bullied, and as cowardly as Hatake Sakumo, secretly hanging themselves at home when bullied, or even too afraid to hang themselves in the street to cause trouble for others?
Can you guarantee that?
If, in the future, even a single normal person is bullied and forced to leave the village you're protecting, how do you plan to resolve the situation?
Like killing me, will you continue killing them too?
What if one day, Konoha's strength is inferior to theirs?
Konoha will be destroyed because of your decision!
It's you, Hashirama! You let the cancer in Konoha go unpunished, instead eliminating the beneficial cells that intend to eradicate it!
As Madara grew increasingly agitated, Hashirama inexplicably felt a pang of guilt.
Madara's reaction is so strong, as if he's experiencing the same thing himself. Could it be that Madara left Konoha because he was bullied?
But back then, who could bully Madara?
Tobirama?
