Senju Tobirama and Danzo: Uchiha Madara's Exceptional Conspiracy

Senju Tobirama turned around in confusion.

Danzo was still the same as always...

A black robe, bandages wrapped around his head, and a cane he'd somehow produced...

The dead man's face was extremely stiff.

Senju Tobirama's forehead twitched as he forcefully suppressed his displeasure.

He is, after all, an Uchiha now...

If this were in the past, Danzo would have taken measures to punish this brat long ago if he dared to disobey him!

Kick him, rip off his hood, and break that stupid cane!

However, this is also a false proposition.

Because in Senju Tobirama's previous life, Danzo never disregarded his orders and often went overboard...

Why are you still wearing bandages?

"You picked up another cane today; you seem quite empty inside... Are you trying to embellish your Authority with these external adornments?" Senju Tobirama a slightly exaggerated tone.

"I understand. It's because the Lord Hokage demonstrated two Kekkei Genkai a few days ago, and you realized you couldn't keep up with the Hokage's progress, so you could only seek external comfort?"

"Holding a cane and wearing bandages, he kept implying and emphasizing to everyone that you are Hokage's assistant who has contributed to Konoha, the so-called ' Darkness of the Shinobi,' the Root of Konoha..."

"You're also a great contributor to Konoha. Although your strength isn't enough, you've still made contributions! This new cane is quite eye-catching, but I think if you stand next to the Hokage, people still won't notice you."

"I've known you since I came to the village, and in all these months, you haven't made any progress at all..."

Senju Tobirama spoke, he slowly turned around and said mockingly:

"My lord, I heard from the elders of the clan that you really want to become Hokage, but given the current situation..."

"Even if unforeseen circumstances arise and you actually manage to become Hokage, no one will think you can compare to the Lord Third..." "What do you think?"

Senju Tobirama recklessly sprayed venom, forcefully stabbing at Danzo's weak points.

He's now an Uchiha...

A proud Uchiha youth should have this kind of attitude and reaction towards the Hokage's assistant who had intimidated him since he entered the village...

Even if there's no one around.

However, Senju Tobirama still intends to keep his promise to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Aside from the master and his apprentice, no one else would know his true identity...

Moreover, Senju Tobirama's observations at the Ninja Academy and at the grassroots level made him extremely dissatisfied with Danzo.

The concept of the Root is valuable...

The problem is, it's done so sloppily!

This is planting Senju Lineage!

He was bombarded in the face with a barrage of words from Senju Tobirama.

Danzo clenched his fists instantly, extremely angry, his eyes even turning slightly red.

That despicable and hateful Uchiha brat!

How dare you talk to him like that? You even hit the nail on the head!

The saying goes, "A lie won't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife." Senju Tobirama was completely exposed; they saw right through him...

Danzo has indeed been very anxious lately.

After seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi could master two Kekkei Genkai...

Danzo was finally forced to accept a fact.

He might...

I really can't Hiruzen Sarutobi!

In terms of individual combat skills, at least before the development of the Wind Release Chakra Mode, there was no longer any need for sparring between the two... Sparring was no longer about mutual verification and exchange, but simply about accompanying him in his training...

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, this was nothing unusual.

Studying new techniques with old buddies is a way to relax and strengthen our bond.

But Danzo's pride couldn't accept it.

Wouldn't that mean the older brother is keeping the younger brother company?

That's outrageous! He wants a close contest!

Having exhausted Danzo, Danzo had no choice but to temporarily shift his focus to other areas...

Following Orochimaru's example, he opened up a new path beyond mere strength.

Uchiha Aosui was Danzo's choice...

Danzo wanted to emulate his former mentor Senju Tobirama, and replicate the operation he used to subdue Kagami Uchiha...

And if it succeeds, it will be even more successful than Senju Tobirama back then!

Compared to Kagami Uchiha, "Aosui" clearly has more potential.

According to Danzo's intelligence, the Uchiha Clan has a high opinion and strong support for "Aosui".

In less than half a year, they have already shown a strong tendency to return home!

If only we could control Uchiha like that...

That might allow him to accomplish what even Tobirama Senju Tobirama couldn't: recruit the Uchiha to his own side!

Danzo silently recited his grand plan, suppressing his anger as much as possible. He couldn't afford to break ties with Aosui yet. Even if he was being treated this way, he had to endure it.

It's all for a greater good!

And at this moment.

Far away on the other side of the Shinobi World, Uchiha Madara was walking towards Senju Tobirama when Danzo walked towards him.

He was already cheerfully awakened by White Zetsu's call, "Lord Madara, there's a show to watch! The Aosui Program is here!"

"This episode's guest is Shimura Danzō, the degraded Senju Tobirama you mentioned!"

A sleepy-eyed Uchiha Madara was subconsciously connected to White Zetsu Network, watching the program.

He thought it was the opening of a major special event that he had pre-ordered...

Regarding Aosui's dismantling of Will of Madara in front of the entire Uchiha...

However, a pre-opening event is also a good thing.

In order to see Aosui dismantle his will, Mr. Madara, a kind-hearted former Konoha citizen, had White Zetsu buy him a few bottles of sake and snacks, planning to eat while watching...

And it caught my eye at first glance.

Uchiha Madara, who wasn't particularly interested in the pre-show promotions, was instantly brought to his senses by "Aosui's" sharp commentary...

What a fast talker!

What a sharp eye!

"She really does resemble Izuna..." Uchiha Madara gazed at "Aosui's" face, a touch of nostalgia washing over him.

Most members of the Uchiha Clan are quick with their swords but slow with their words; they prefer to use their hands rather than their mouths.

Only Izuna is exceptionally quick with both words and a sharp tongue...

"When Izuna used to scold Senju Tobirama, it was the same; he used the harshest and most hurtful words."

Uchiha Madara patted the stone chair with a sigh, "That sounds really satisfying!"

"I never imagined I'd see something like this after all these years..."

Danzo calmed down for a moment, then squinted and said:

"Kid, you have a sharp tongue, but I wonder what your heart is like..."

"Why do you have such a strong grudge against me? Is it because I am Lord Tobirama's disciple, and you are an Uchiha?"

"You are in danger now. Your mind has gradually been assimilated by the narrow-minded family ideology, and you have deviated from the Will of Fire."

It's still the old-school style of play.

Labeling someone before speaking.

"I admire Lord Tobirama," Senju Tobirama said with a forced smile.

"Are you so desperate that you can only resort to your status and historical issues to shut me up?"

Hearing Danzo use his name in such a brutal way...

Senju Tobirama was extremely displeased.

Isn't this just creating conflict?

Senju Tobirama was very suspicious.

Given Danzo's current level of thinking, if he were to actually become Hokage, wouldn't he turn Konoha into something like the Hidden Kirigakure Village next door?

The Forest of Bloody Mist belongs to...

Even at the height of his conflict with the Uchiha Clan, Senju Tobirama continued to use righteousness and pretexts to justify his actions, refusing to admit that he was targeting the Uchiha Clan.

They also brought up Kagami Uchiha, dividing the Uchiha into Dove Faction and Hawk Faction.

This one move greatly reduced the pressure on Senju Tobirama back then, and he was no longer an impenetrable force.

But looking at Danzo...

Even though the Uchiha had already reached a point where reconciliation with the village was possible.

However, Danzo, in order to satisfy his personal interests, recklessly used his name to intimidate people!

Why aren't you saying anything?

"Alright, I'll speak..." Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes, looking at Danzo, whose face was quite Danzo:

"You mean, the Second Hokage and the Uchiha have a blood feud, right?"

"His past actions were not for the benefit and balance of the village, but purely personal targeting, an abuse of power to retaliate against the Uchiha clan using his Hokage position Uchiha?"

"So, the reason you said I treated you badly is because you're the Second's disciple, and I'm an Uchiha..."

Senju Tobirama stared sharply at Danzo.

Waiting for his reply.

Danzo simply categorized his relationship with the Uchiha as one of antagonism.

That would damage his reputation!

Senju Tobirama.

He treats every Ninja Clan and ninja in the village equally, and his decisions are based on only one factor: whether it will have a negative impact on the village...

He believed this even among the Uchiha Clan.

Aside from the fact that the Hokage must treat everyone equally, there is another intriguing reason.

He didn't know what the Pure Land was like back then...

He didn't want to be laughed at by that bastard if he met Izuna Uchiha after he died.

When the Uchiha and Senju formed an alliance, Madara and the rest of the clan agreed to it.

Only Izuna strongly opposed it!

Believing that an alliance with the Senju would inevitably lead to the demise of the Uchiha, Senju Tobirama would certainly push for this...

So, Senju Tobirama was thinking...

If I actually did that, wouldn't that just let that Izuna Uchiha's prediction come true?

His perspective isn't as narrow as that of a mad dog!

But Danzo's words clearly placed his magnanimity on the same level as Izuna's...

This is an insult!

"You... you dare to label me? You've misunderstood me!"

Danzo a deep breath, suppressing his inner rage:

"Lord Tobirama would certainly not be targeting the Uchiha intentionally! However, there are indeed some reactionary forces within the Uchiha Clan who have raised objections to the village's decisions in the past. I am doing this to prevent any potential problems!"

What Danzo really wanted to answer was, "What else?"

Is this targeting the Uchiha...?

There are so many records in those classic texts, can't you read them yourself?

But some things can't be said openly.

It weighs less than four ounces without being weighed, but on the scale it weighs over a thousand pounds...

Uchiha Madara into laughter.

Initially, when "Aosui" spoke of his admiration for Senju Tobirama...

He was still a little annoyed.

But as I listened further, I realized it was actually sarcasm!

No wonder he had that fake smile...

only.

This is Uchiha Madara misinterpreting Senju Tobirama Aosui's dissatisfaction with Danzo as Aozumi's disdain for Tobirama...

"Can't a village ninja question the village's decisions?"

Senju Tobirama a cold laugh.

If a policy is good for the village, then no one will object.

Even if something is controversial, as long as it's meaningful in the long run, it can be pushed forward despite opposition...

But that doesn't mean you can't speak!

If ninjas aren't even allowed to speak, then in Senju Tobirama's view, Konoha is in danger...

"What questions do you have to raise?" Danzo narrowed his eyes dangerously; at this moment, he wasn't about to label anyone.

Rather, they were genuinely wary of "Aosui"!

As a traditional high-ranking ninja, Danzo had always been resistant to ninjas having self-awareness...

Because a tool develops ideas, it's like a knife becoming dull; it's tantamount to self-destruction.

The so-called "root" person, Danzo, is someone without a name, without emotions, without a past, and without a future...

"I have no objection to the Third Hokage."

"But I have some objections to some of your actions," Senju Tobirama said coldly.

"Based on the information I've gathered from the Ninja Academy, the lower ranks, the Patrol Force, and the Uchiha, you once established a department similar to the Anbu, called 'Root,' right?"

"So what if it is?" Danzo readily admitted, a hint of pride in his voice.

Even though Hiruzen Sarutobi disbanded Root.

However, Danzo still believed that "Root" had made tremendous contributions to Konoha, and that it was a significant achievement in his career as an assistant. "Kid, let me tell you, everything has two sides."

"Where there is light, there is also darkness; for Konoha to have thriving branches, it must have roots that penetrate deep into the ground."

"The Shinobi World is not a children's game. Light and justice may attract people, but the cunning and treachery of enemies must be met with an equal response in order to instill fear in them."

"I came to you because I saw the darkness in your heart..."

Danzo stared intently at Senju Tobirama: "Let me guide you through your darkness to protect Konoha!"

"Even if you are an Uchiha and you misunderstand me, I have tolerated you until now because your character and mindset are enough to shoulder responsibilities and pressures that others cannot bear."

Danzo how "Aosui" only frowned in thought when he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi unleash two Kekkei Genkai, unlike the other Ninja Academy students who cheered...

To have such a mindset at such a young age makes one perfectly suited to be the "root".

"You need to understand that I didn't just ask you to sacrifice yourself; you need to understand my sincerity!"

"I am Lord Tobirama's disciple, the rightful heir to the Hokage Faction. By becoming my disciple, you will have the opportunity to compete for the Fifth Hokage!" Danzo played what he considered his strongest trump card, inwardly sneering:

"Let's see how you refuse!"

"The Uchiha Clan is determined to become Hokage; it's their obsession..."

"But they didn't even get a chance to sit at the table, how could they possibly resist my price!"

As for why "Aosui" rejected him before, Danzo believed that it was because the child was new to the village and didn't understand the benefits of becoming an assistant... Now that he's been here for so long, he should understand the value of it, right?

Konoha's master-disciple system is out in the open...

Although there have only been two generations so far.

However, it is obvious that the next Hokage will only be selected from the master-disciple lineage of the Hokage Faction.

It might sound like a closed-off thing, but actually the ninjas didn't have any complaints about it.

Because this is far more advanced than bloodline inheritance.

The village's policies also need to remain consistent to avoid excessive conflict between the two administrations, which could lead to meaningless internal friction.

To achieve this, it is essential to cultivate skills from a young age, and the master-apprentice system meets this fundamental requirement.

"No, I have no interest in becoming Hokage."

To Danzo's surprise, the boy coldly shook his head.

"You don't want to become Hokage? Why?!" Danzo asked angrily.

A Konoha Ninja who doesn't want to become Hokage is definitely not a good one!

Especially when you still have the ability...

"I only hope the village can get better; Konoha has already given me enough."

"I am an orphan, and I didn't even have a name before I came to Konoha. I spent countless years wallowing in the cesspool of Kusagakure, nearly dying several times, and often suffering from amnesia due to hunger..."

"If it weren't for the Lord Hokage overcoming pressure from all sides and Kusagakure, all my talents would be meaningless."

"A genius who can't grow without resources and a platform is just a pitiful person."

"Therefore, I love Konoha, and I sincerely hope that the village can become better. I will try anything that benefits the village without expecting anything in return."

"Because the village has already paid me the reward, that's why I don't aspire to the Hokage position."

"I only want to create a perfect Konoha. As for whether I become Hokage, I don't care."

Senju Tobirama a calm tone, deliberately adding a touch of the Uchiha Clan's obsession.

Maintaining Persona requires constant effort...

Danzo's heart stirred, and his gaze towards Senju Tobirama softened unconsciously.

The genuine feelings contained in these words were something that Darkness of the Shinobi could understand.

Having worked in the intelligence system for so many years, Danzo possesses an intuition in this area that surpasses that of ordinary people.

The statements "no parents, no name, no past" and "willing to do anything for the good of the village" struck a deep chord with Danzo. Wasn't this just a Alt Account of himself?

There is a very strange phenomenon in the Shinobi World.

While blood ties are certainly strong, there is something even more capable of establishing mutual recognition—

It's called "Ninja Way"!

People who share the same beliefs are attracted to each other like the two poles of a magnet.

"Kid, I take back some of my accusations against you."

Danzo looked at Senju Tobirama and said seriously, "You are a different kind of Uchiha."

"Since you've spoken your mind, I'll make an exception and tell you a few things as well."

For some reason, Danzo initially disliked the Uchiha "Aosui".

His appearance and demeanor always inexplicably remind me of Teacher Tobirama...

Upon closer inspection, they don't actually look alike; it's clearly Izuna Uchiha looks more like him.

But it gave Danzo a sense of irritation, like that of a believer feeling that their deity had been defiled...

But after today's conversation, Ninja Way ninja way, and that bit of annoyance disappeared...

Ninja Way the same ninja way; everything else is negotiable, even having some Uchiha blood is fine...

He and Kagami Uchiha had a good relationship back then!

"Hiruzen, he is indeed a very good Hokage, able to satisfy and follow the vast majority of people, but I know him very well, he is a very soft-hearted person."

"But the Shinobi World is a dirty place, and someone always has to sacrifice and do the dirty work. Making Hiruzen bear the darkness would damage the image of the Hokage and be detrimental to the village."

Senju Tobirama nodded silently.

That is absolutely true.

"Lizi" and "appearance" should be distinguished.

"Face" is meant to give ninjas a goal they can wholeheartedly follow, thereby strengthening their cohesion as much as possible.

Therefore, there should be no obvious stains.

Then we need to address the problem with Lizi.

"The image of the eldest brother is so lofty in the Shinobi World, mainly due to his personal charm, but also because he has two ' Lizi ' serving him one 'face'. The two ' Lizi ' of Senju Hashirama are Senju Tobirama himself and Uchiha Madara."

Senju Tobirama may not want to admit it, but it is indeed an objective fact.

He and Ban did all the things that offended people...

"Furthermore, some ninjas are born with darkness in their hearts."

"This is something that no matter how hard Hiruzen tries, he cannot avoid..."

"To prevent them from harming the village, we must establish a department to restrict and control them, so that their darkness harms the enemy instead of Konoha!"

"Those who can control them must have even more darkness within them than they do! And you possess that talent!"

"You want what's best for the village, don't you? Then come with me!"

"Shimura Danzō I said in a deep voice."

Senju Tobirama snorted coldly.

In his view, this argument is outdated...

No one is Born Evil, not even members of the Uchiha Clan...

The problem is that we haven't found a suitable way to guide them.

"What, you haven't given up on your Will of Madara yet?" Danzo was getting a little impatient when he saw that Senju Tobirama hadn't moved.

Danzo found the thought of this extremely strange.

He also saw the application that Isshin to submit.

"The Uchiha Clan has requested a general leave of absence to discuss the restructuring of the Military Police Force and a reinterpretation of Will of Madara."

Even Danzo thought he was seeing things...

This application has a dark, humorous quality to it, like a rebellion pleading for approval...

He was already unhappy about Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea of clearing the Uchiha of their historical baggage.

As long as Madara doesn't explain his true intentions, doesn't that mean he can hold the Uchiha's Achilles' heel at any moment?

But Hiruzen Sarutobi was adamant, Danzo didn't say anything more.

Danzo didn't expect the Uchiha Clan to take it so seriously and even want to do it openly!

No, that's Uchiha Madara. Don't you guys think that name is sensitive?

Are all Uchiha Clan this reckless and honest?

Aren't you afraid that Hiruzen is a stunt?

They even reported the names of the attendees and the speaker, Aosui; the only thing missing was inviting Hiruzen Sarutobi to sit in.

This is why Danzo in such a hurry to find "Aosui".

He wanted to stop the interpretation of Will of Madara.

Why give up?

Senju Tobirama countered, "I've already said I'll do anything that benefits Konoha, and I'll find a way to integrate good things into the Will of Fire."

"As for being sensitive or facing criticism, I don't care at all."

Danzo frowned deeply:

"What good could Will of Madara's will possibly do for Konoha? Kid, you should know he was the main cause of Lord Hashirama's death. He was a missing-nin!" "If Lord Hashirama were still alive, would you dare say that to him?" Senju Tobirama sighed inwardly, but coldly retorted on the surface.

Danzo was speechless.

Uchiha Madara, who was watching intently, also looked lost and dejected upon hearing these words.

Ah, Hashirama!

You always manage to do things that are unforgettable...

After faking his death, he chose to hide here because he was afraid of being discovered.

Senju Tobirama would certainly label him a missing-nin and then dismember his body.

However, Senju Hashirama defied all objections and hid his "corpse."

Furthermore, they resolutely refused to label him a Konoha missing-nin, stating only that the two had a clash of ideologies, and that Uchiha Madara would always be a part of Konoha. Although the outcome was tragic, his intentions were ultimately for the good of the village...

Even after Senju Hashirama died.

Uchiha Madara never even considered returning to Konoha, partly because he couldn't help but feel a sense of obligation to his sworn enemy.

This is also why Konoha has long shelved the issue of Uchiha Madara...

Senju Hashirama personally rejected the label of missing-nin, a point that even Senju Tobirama could not reverse.

Do you even know what "Madara's Will" means?

Senju Tobirama gazed at Danzo and slowly said, "I can tell you."

Danzo coldly and gestured for him to proceed.

A brat who's never even met Madara is discussing the will of the Asura of Shinobi?

Ridiculous!

Uchiha Madara also perked up; he wanted to hear how Aosui interpreted his...

"I've always been curious as to why the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara fought each other."

"To this end, I consulted numerous ancient texts, gathered evidence from older Uchiha members, and collected some precious diaries before finally uncovering clues and compiling them together."

Senju Tobirama, having carefully crafted his own justification, layered on armor before finally speaking:

"Just as the First Hokage said, it's a clash of ideologies!"

"The First Hokage once said that protecting the village is the most important thing, and no one can be forgiven for harming the village, not even their children, brothers, or friends..."

Danzo said coldly, "Is there something wrong with that statement?"

"Of course, no problem."

Senju Tobirama, signaling him to listen to him finish speaking:

"But it's said that before Uchiha Madara died, he said that if things continued to develop this way, things would turn out backwards, and sooner or later it would become the darkness of the village..." "The First Hokage's ideals were certainly good, but some people have carried them out badly!"

Senju Tobirama stared intently at Danzo.

"The village is a tool to protect everyone, not an abstract symbol that overrides the individual!"

"Without oversight, the Will of Fire will become a terrifying monster, allowing a few powerful individuals to abuse their power, oppress individuals and Ninja Clan, and letting darkness spread uncontrollably throughout the village!"

"And Konoha today lacks this."

"I'm not dissatisfied with the Lord Third; I think he did a good job. But what about the next Hokage? What about the other powerful figures besides the Hokage?" "Can the Hokage oversee everything alone? And who will supervise the Hokage who makes a mistake?"

"As your advisor, can you strictly adhere to the requirements of the Will of Fire and the spirit of the First Hokage to provide effective peer supervision of the Hokage, other advisors, and Konoha Committee Member?"

Danzo scoffed, "Of course I can. Do you know how many times I've slammed my fist on the table with him?"

"Really? If the Lord Hokage still wants to defeat you even when you haven't made any mistakes, and you think you can resist, then you can do it."

Senju Tobirama returned the smile with a disdainful one.

Danzo couldn't laugh this time.

During that commendation ceremony at the First Martial Arts Arena...

While Danzo was overjoyed, he secretly marveled at Hiruzen Sarutobi's terrifying reputation.

If he wanted to sabotage himself, then probably no one would speak up for him, and he wouldn't even need to go through the proper procedures.

At this moment, Danzo couldn't help but feel a strange sense of respect for the Uchiha boy before him.

That's incredibly brave! He wouldn't even dare to think like that...

A mere student at a Ninja Academy.

Even a genius of unparalleled talent from the Uchiha Clan dared to think about supervising the Hokage, advisors, and other Konoha Committee Member...

Danzo has already forgiven "Aosui" for his disrespect.

This is truly outrageous, and it's not just directed at him.

"Then what do you mean? You want to supervise the Hokage?" Danzo couldn't help but ask.

"It's not that I want to, but that every ninja in Konoha should uphold the bottom line of the Will of Fire in their hearts. Anyone who crosses this line should be questioned!"

Senju Tobirama a firm and powerful voice:

"If the ninjas become overly reliant on the Third Hokage simply because of his wisdom, losing their habit, courage, and right to speak out, then Konoha will inevitably perish because of this!"

"I have no intention of questioning the Lord Third, but he will eventually pass away."

"While the Lord Third is still alive, I believe he can understand my intentions and won't misinterpret my thoughts as a challenge to his Authority..." "We must transform his wise 'rule by man' into a spirit and will that the Konoha Ninja cannot forget, engraving it into the very bones of Konoha, plugging the loopholes that might lead to the village's future deviation!"

Senju Tobirama spoke his innermost thoughts.

After learning that Danzo had been plundering and demanding talented ninjas from the village in order to establish Root...

Senju Tobirama was furious.

He understood that the village needed some ninjas who could do the dirty and hard work...

Moreover, some ninjas are naturally inclined to immerse themselves in darkness, so this approach is suitable for them.

But what does it mean to forcibly kidnap someone in the name of the village and Konoha?

Doing this is digging up the roots of Konoha!

From that moment on, Senju Tobirama began to ponder how to rectify this situation...

Ninjas lacked the will to resist the oppression of those in power.

Admittedly, Senju Tobirama thought Hiruzen Sarutobi did a great job, but he was already almost fifty years old...

If Hiruzen Sarutobi continues in his current state, immortal and ageless, none of these issues will arise.

But ninjas always die.

If the next generation of Hokage is like Danzo.

Or perhaps his temperament suddenly changes drastically, and he uses Hiruzen's reputation to do something similar to Danzo...

That would turn Konoha into a giant Bloody Mist Village!

Therefore, we must plan ahead.

Moreover, this also greatly enhances the ninjas' sense of belonging.

"Have you considered how this will cause internal strife in the village? How noisy it will be if everyone voices their opinions..."

Danzo said in a deep voice.

"Only speak out when it involves the bottom line of the Will of Fire; otherwise, just follow the Hokage's orders!"

Senju Tobirama retorted, "Don't try to confuse things with irrelevant and misleading arguments!"

"I understand your will; it's not without merit. However, the mistakes you've made have remained uncorrected for so long..."

"Both the 'blemish' and the 'root' are historical problems left over from the village. If we don't take advantage of the golden age brought by Lord Third to repair them, it will be difficult to solve them later!"

"Danzo, I hope you will be brave..."

"Try to reflect on and repent for your past mistakes, acknowledge them, and try to make amends."

Senju Tobirama's tone softened, as if a teacher were admonishing a student:

"It's not difficult, just take that step bravely!"

But to Danzo, it sounded extremely jarring...

Let alone "Aosui," even if Hiruzen Sarutobi said those words to him, he wouldn't be able to accept it!

Only if Lord Tobirama to be resurrected would Danzo feel he could barely muster the patience to listen to a few words...

"Don't be so arrogant, kid!"

"You think you know anything about Konoha? Let me tell you, you're not qualified to judge me!" Danzo seemed enraged and roared. Senju Tobirama Danzo with disappointment and shook his head.

"I'll give you time. If you don't make amends for your mistakes before I graduate..."

"Then I have no choice but to protect Konoha in my own way."

"I already told you this in advance, but if you can correct your mistakes, I'm willing to cooperate with you..."

Danzo stared intently at Senju Tobirama:

"You? You're just a Ninja Academy student, what can you possibly do? Don't be ridiculous!"

Senju Tobirama dismissively, "That's all I have to say. Don't say I didn't warn you..."

Having said that, Senju Tobirama turned and left, not saying another word to Danzo.

"I understand why Hiruzen didn't deal with Danzo..."

"It's not just because of the bonds they have with each other that he hesitated; it's also because his reputation as Hokage is now too immense. If he were to launch a critique of Danzo, it would be enough to cripple him completely, which wouldn't be good..."

"The village still needs Danzo to do the work, and I'm the one who speaks on behalf of Hiruzen."

"In that case, he, as Hokage, won't participate in the battle but will act as a referee to control the intensity..."

"Hiruzhan, is this also in your calculation?" Senju Tobirama walked towards the Uchiha clan, looking at the Hokage Rock in the distance, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

His resurrection not only addresses the Uchiha problem, but also the Danzo problem...

However, Senju Tobirama also gave Danzo a way out.

If Danzo can change, or if he can be enlightened and actively make amends.

So Senju Tobirama wouldn't mind Conjugate Master-Disciple for once, in order to save his political life.

Senju Tobirama needed a higher status to participate more in village affairs and to demonstrate his abilities in scientific research, supervision, and village governance. Apprentice of the Hokage Assistant was a suitable endorsement.

The problem is that Senju Tobirama was not used to treating Danzo with the respect due to a disciple.

So why not defeat him first, then help him up, creating a strange relationship that appears to be Conjugate Master-Disciple, but in reality, he remains the teacher...

Danzo clearly needed to be monitored, just as he did with the Uchiha.

This act of questioning Danzo would greatly enhance Senju Tobirama Uchiha Danzo, allowing him to replace Isshin and Fugaku with his solid record and become the true leader.

Newcomers always need to pull off some big projects to surpass the established veterans; talent alone isn't enough...

In addition, there's the boost to instilling a sense of Bottom-line Thinking in the ninjas...

Fighting Danzo, in Senju Tobirama, a move that yielded multiple benefits and was something he had to do!

"It's my first time, so I hope the students won't rush to correct their mistakes..." Senju Tobirama felt a mix of emotions.

If Danzo had truly listened, he would have gone back and addressed and rectified the remaining problems within the Root...

Then it really won't be easy to fight him!

However, as a teacher, it was understandable that Senju Tobirama. Hell Jokes, Danzo clearly didn't listen.

However, Uchiha Madara listened to it completely.

After listening to "Aosui's" interpretation of his will.

Uchiha Madara seemed frozen in place, lost in deep thought.

In the Shinobi World, the Ninja Way and ideals are a more solid inheritance and shared identity than bloodline.

Senju Tobirama's words truly resonated with him, making the hairs on his forehead stand on end...

"Even if Izuna to be resurrected, this is all he would understand about me!"

Uchiha Madara let out a long breath. Such a thorough and insightful analysis had even dulled his brain from being surrounded by White Zetsu. Why had he fought Hashirama to the death?

Isn't it because of that damned Senju Tobirama, who always uses the village to hold the Uchiha Clan hostage? Under his rule, the Uchiha will be wiped out sooner or later!

Others don't understand him, his clansmen don't understand him, and even Hashirama doesn't understand his thoughts!

Decades later, a descendant appeared who looked exactly like Izuna and understood him so well!

"To be able to express my will so clearly..."

"I would call Aosui the sole inheritor of Will of Madara; he deserves this title!"

Uchiha Madara loudly proclaimed, bestowing official recognition upon Senju Tobirama.

"Lord Madara, I have to say, he seems to really love Konoha, huh? Are you going to try and turn him against us...?"

A White Zetsu scratched its head and asked:

"Don't expose yourself, this looks really difficult, okay? Or maybe Obito, he's an idiot!"

"I've noticed he's been spending a lot of time at home lately, staring at photos of himself with the Hokage and grinning like an idiot. He's going crazy..."

Uchiha Madara waved his hand impatiently:

"Let's not talk about Obito Uchiha for now. He's just a backup plan. With his intelligence, I'll find a way to deal with him. What's a photo?" "Hiruzen Sarutobi does have some tricks up his sleeve, but he's not Hashirama, who can win people over with a mere gesture."

White Zetsu showed a look of disgust.

Who asked you?

Why bring up Senju Hashirama again!

"Let me tell you, compared to Obito, Aosui is the one who will truly support me from the bottom of her heart in the future..."

"You heard that too, didn't you? What Aosui wants is a perfect Konoha, but that doesn't exist. Only the Eye of the Moon Plan can bring perfect peace." "Once the hypocritical facade of Konoha is torn away and the true face of the Will of Fire is exposed, Aosui will surely fall into immense disappointment and unbearable pain."

"Aosui is a pure Uchiha. Only a true pure-blooded Uchiha would be so obsessive, pursuing perfection at any cost!" "Even if it were Hiruzen Sarutobi, let alone Hashirama Sarutobi, he wouldn't be able to handle this attack!"

"No, Hashirama a bit slow, and Senju Tobirama would be the same!"

Uchiha Madara had a terrible plan.

He knew that the Uchiha was seeking reform, opening up positions in the Military Police Force to recruit other Ninja Clan...

That means the Uchiha will be going on missions again!

Uchiha Madara could easily copy and design an extreme moral dilemma.

For example, assigning an important task to Nobles from the Land of Fire.

While the Uchiha were carrying out their mission, their comrades found themselves in danger.

Given the Uchiha Clan's current desire to reverse their reputation in Konoha, they will undoubtedly choose to save their comrades.

Uchiha Madara will intervene and cause this mission to fail...

After the failure, Uchiha Madara will try to spread the news!

He has already chosen a match...

He is one of the few political enemies of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

It would be most suitable for him to attack the Uchiha, who have completed an important mission.

This will surely incite the Nobles to suppress the ninjas!

Moreover, after listening to Senju Tobirama's explanation, Uchiha Madara understood his thoughts.

"Chao Aosui's talent, along with that Yellow-Hair brat Chengshou who uses the Flying Thunder God technique, will surely make him famous and gain considerable recognition and influence in Mubo."

"Before graduation, Shimura Danzō; he will definitely take action against the Aosui he copied."

"And just as Aosui began his Shimura Danzō, I also made my move, launching my scheme against the Uchiha..."

"Aosui says to uphold the bottom line and to supervise, but the Uchiha don't even adhere to the Ninja Code. This is Shimura Danzō's best weapon for retaliation." "In that case, Aosui will definitely think that Shimura Danzō deliberately provoked the Uchiha Clan when he was being targeted."

"The wooden structure will instantly descend into chaos!"

"Hiruzen Sarutobi will definitely protect Shimura Danzō and take the opportunity to attack Aosui. This is the so-called bond between Konoha and Hiruzen, the so-called Hokage."

"As a result, the Aosui will be greatly disappointed with the village, the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the Moto will break down, they will see the true colors of the Moto's higher-ups, and they will once again be at odds..."

"Everything will be under my control!" Uchiha Madara said confidently.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi was a high-ranking member of the ninja village, no matter how open-minded he was, that was all he was capable of...

Could he tolerate ninjas failing to complete their missions?

How could one forgive the Uchiha Shimura Danzō for their failed mission, and how could one refrain from protecting Shimura Danzo?

That's absolutely impossible!

This is an absolute dead end, riddled with Chain of Suspicion.

White Zetsu, who was standing to the side, thought for a long time before slowly nodding:

"Ban Dapeng, your idea this time seems pretty brilliant? It sounds quite reliable..."

Uchiha Madara smiled smugly:

"I copied him just because I didn't want to steal Izuna's thunder! Can the older brother be weaker than the younger brother?"

However, Uchiha Madara secretly felt that he had exceeded his usual expectations...

Perhaps, Immortal Lando also looking out for him, hoping he would obtain the Aosui!
