Because of Grandma Chiyo

Zabuza's killing intent could render Genin Naruto Sasuke immobile, while Orochimaru's killing intent could render Sasuke, Chunin Ninja Exams, immobile.

Even Hashirama Senju, aimed at the Second Hokage Orochimaru, was enough to make Orochimaru feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

That's the difference.

Hashirama Senju was able to touch the Nine-Tails' head and say, "Your power is too great; you must be sealed," not because the Nine-Tails was truly powerful, but because the Nine-Tails was Tailed Beast, and could be resurrected even if killed.

Otherwise, Nine-Tails would have experienced the same treatment as Madara Uchiha much earlier, having his head severed by Hashirama Senju with a single stroke, and then saying to his corpse, "Sorry, for the sake of the village's peace, I had no choice but to do this."

Then, for the sake of peace in the Shinobi World, they captured the other eight Tailed Beast as well, and instead of distributing them, they slaughtered them all at once.

It seems like something that someone like Hashirama Senju, who appears to be a kind and gentle person, wouldn't do, but given his decisiveness in killing Madara at the Valley of the End, he really would.

The same applies now.

Hashirama Senju was willing to give this young man a chance to reform.

But if Fa Yi remains obstinate to the end, then he will have no choice but to give him an elbow strike with the Wood Golem and send him to his death.

Of course, the only people who truly understood Hashirama Senju were Madara Uchiha, who personally experienced the event, and Shirozumi, who had a god-like perspective.

In his eyes, even Tobirama Senju, his elder brother was an overly kind person.

In Tobirama Senju's eyes, Hashirama Senju killing Madara was a last resort, just like Naruto killing Sasuke —a tragic love story.

"Why? You could be Madara Uchiha! You're Madara Uchiha, the one who fought against the God of Shinobi, Madara Uchiha Hashirama Senju! You possess divine power capable of crushing Tailed Beast! How can your dream be peace in the Shinobi World?!"

Faced with the terrifying killing intent of "Madara Uchiha," Fa Yi's mentality was on the verge of collapse.

Ninjas in the Shinobi World generally have a spiritual totem in their hearts.

For example, in the Uchiha Hikari arc, the villain Merz believed he was to inherit Pain's will; in the Scarlet Flower Moon arc, the villain Uchiha Shin believed he was to inherit Itachi's will; and in the Mirai Sarutobi, the villain believed he was to inherit Hidan's will...

For those who don't have a clear goal, they usually have a fixed, well-known figure in their minds, such as Madara Uchiha.

I only found out today that Madara Uchiha was a peace-loving person, and that his appearance was actually to protect peace?

"The power of God? It is precisely because I possess the power of God that I realize it is normal for people to be inferior to me in terms of strength or capacity."

I shouldn't blame or discriminate against them; I should protect them. That's the mindset of God.

Hashirama Senju delivered these lines in Madara Uchiha's voice, his heart pounding with excitement.

His acting was so perfect; his smooth, affected manner not only conveyed Ban's domineering presence but also reversed his public image, making him utterly captivating.

W-what?"

Fa Yi was also awestruck by Madara Uchiha's magnanimity; he suddenly understood what it meant for "his heart to be as vast as the earth."

Fa Yi completely gave up resisting.

After carefully sensing that the Wood Release bindings showed no further signs of struggle, Hashirama Senju released the Wood Release.

Fa Yi collapsed to the ground, powerless, as Shukaku's Chakra, like a yellowish-brown slime, spun out of his body and moved towards Gaara.

It wasn't just the people from Konoha and the few from Sunagakure who were training in Sage Mode who witnessed this scene.

This place is very close to Sunagakure. The commotion caused by Fa Yi was quite significant. The area around Sunagakure is mostly desert with no obstructions, so the giant Shukaku can be seen at a glance.

Many people in Sunagakure have become aware of this incident.

Among them were some, like Fa Yi, who secretly opposed Gaara Kazekage.

They never expected that Fa Yi's success would be so quick, but its failure would be even faster.

It was over before they even got Past.

When they arrived, they could only see a familiar figure standing in front of Fa Yi from afar.

"Is it Madara Uchiha?"

"Madara Uchiha? What's he doing here?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. Madara Uchiha has a crush on Grandma Chiyo from our village. It seems he only made his move because of Grandma Chiyo."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true! You arrived late and didn't hear what Madara Uchiha said when he appeared."

What did you say?

"[While Grandma Chiyo is away, I will protect Sunagakure!] (This is a rumor)"

~

"You only borrowed the power of the Tailed Beast, not becoming Jinchuriki, so even if Shukaku is removed, your life isn't in danger. Get up. Face the mistakes you've made, and don't let others look down on you."

Hashirama Senju walked up to Fa Yi and said in a deep voice.

Halfway through the conversation, Hashirama Senju quickly controlled his Wood Clone to turn off the speakers.

A mistake was made.

Only one song was recorded on the speaker; I should have recorded more.

The scene of Fa Yi kneeling on the ground in repentance, resembling a murderer being caught, should be accompanied by a suitable background music.

"If you truly care about peace, then you should have dealt with Gaara."

After Fa Yi looked up and said.

"Why?"

Hashirama Senju frowned.

Why did the temperature around us seem to drop so much as soon as that sentence was uttered?

Hashirama Senju believed that Fa Yi remained obstinate and began preparing to kill him.

"He's a ruthless killer; he's utterly unfit to be the leader of Sunagakure!"

Fa Yi felt a chill run down his spine, but he forced himself to continue speaking despite the discomfort.

Thinking to himself, "As expected of the Asura of the Ninja World, even for the sake of peace, his killing intent is so terrifying. If he tries to disobey even slightly, the other party will rekindle his murderous intent."

"He has made changes, and that's why he became the Kazekage."

Hashirama Senju glanced back at Gaara, who had stopped pretending to be dead and was walking towards them.

"No, that was a disguise. He's still the same serial killer. I suspect Daimyo's death is also related to him; he's the sole beneficiary!"

Fa Yi was extremely excited and spoke loudly.

Even those who had rushed over from afar heard these words.

Those conservatives nodded in agreement.

In the original story, Gaara became the Kazekage, which was opposed by the conservatives. Now, Gaara has not only become the Kazekage, but he has also started a revolution, taking over the power of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and becoming the "Desert Emperor". Naturally, he will be targeted by the conservatives even more.

"Think carefully before you speak. The Daimyo of the Land of Wind is dead. Is Gaara really the only beneficiary? Did you just stay in one place and listen to rumors, and actually set foot in the entire Land of Wind before reaching this conclusion?"

Hashirama Senju breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

If the other person is simply stupid, not malicious, then there's still hope.
