Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju, You Disgraced Your Ancestors Down to the Eighteenth Generation

You disgraced them all!

Do ninjas really have no ambitions?

Do ninjas really not want to rebel?

Can one's own rule truly last for all eternity?

These were all things of great concern to the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire. To maintain his rule, the daimyo went to great lengths to prepare a prison of thought for the ninjas—the Ninja Tool Theory.

Ninjas poisoned by this ideology would do their utmost to complete the tasks assigned by their employers without pondering the meaning behind those missions.

Yet even though reality had been twisted into the shape the daimyo wanted to see, it still could not change the fundamental nature of those daimyo; they were nothing more than paper tigers. They stood high above on the surface, but in truth, they possessed only power in appearance, yet lacked any real might.

As long as there was a ninja with formidable strength who was willing to defy the world, it would be enough to pull them down from their divine altars.

Even if Hashirama Senju did not do such a thing, as time passed, the Ninja Clan Era transitioned into the Ninja Village Era.

The power of ninja leaders was centralized and strengthened, shadows could act as puppets to marginalize the daimyo, and a rogue ninja deserting from a major ninja village could easily conquer a small country all by themselves.

At that time, ninjas would naturally discover some interesting things.

Uchiha Makoto was well aware of the future trend and the current thoughts of the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire.

"Your Highness, the battle between the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan has completely ended."

A brief moment of sluggishness appeared on the face of the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire, followed by an expression of astonishment: "Ended?"

"It is completely over," Uchiha Makoto emphasized his tone.

"What on earth is going on here?"

As a daimyo, he understood the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan very well. The Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan had a millennium-old blood feud, entangling and fighting each other right up to the present.

Now the battle between the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan had actually ended completely?

Are you kidding me!

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!!

"Could it be that the Uchiha Clan won the final victory and exterminated the Senju Clan? Or is it the Senju Clan instead..."

This was what the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire was thinking in his mind right now.

If the battle between the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan could completely end, there was only one possibility. One of those clans had completely vanished from the Ninja World.

From a certain perspective.

The Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire was indeed not wrong.

After all, even after the establishment of Konoha, the contention between the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan had never stopped. Instead, it continued around the Hokage Position into a deeper, more covert struggle, until the Senju Clan was the first to face extinction, ending that conflict. Meanwhile, the Uchiha Clan continued to fight against the successor of the Senju-line ideology until the Uchiha Clan was also wiped out.

As for the possibility that

the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan would abandon their millennium-old blood feud and shake hands in reconciliation—such a possibility never even crossed the mind of the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire.

Shake hands and make peace?

How could such a thing possibly happen!

Yet.

Such a thing had happened precisely.

It was pitch-black dark humor.

Uchiha Makoto recounted what had happened recently, omitting the negative news of the Uchiha Clan being suppressed all along the line by the Senju Clan.

After all, the Uchiha Clan lacked Izuna Uchiha, and Tobirama Senju that old schemer even had a racial bonus against the Uchiha Clan. To maintain game balance, it was recommended to directly ban Tobirama Senju!

The most important and noteworthy thing to mention was that the Senju Succubus, Hashirama Senju, went so far as to stab himself with a kunai, using his own death as a threat... which finally made Uchiha Madara believe in his sincerity, achieving a century-spanning grand reconciliation between the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan.

"In order to trade for peace between the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan, Hashirama... used a kunai to stab himself in an attempt to commit suicide?"

"That's right!"

"Are you sure a kunai could really hurt Hashirama Senju?"

The Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire had heard a thing or two about Hashirama Senju's recovery ability. That was an inhuman recovery ability.

He was already sick of watching cheesy, pretentious stories like lying on ice to catch carp.

Therefore, the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire expressed doubt regarding Hashirama Senju's suicidal act at the time. "Speak!!! Hashirama Senju, you thick-browed, big-eyed fellow, were you putting on a show?"

"Uh... at least Lord Madara thought it was possible."

Uchiha Makoto paused slightly. Regarding this question, he actually didn't know either.

However, this question was not important at all, much like how a few days before your wedding, your girlfriend went out to a hotel room with a strange man and stayed inside that room for an entire night.

Did your girlfriend and this man actually have sexual relations or not?

Is this question important?

Not important!

What is important is your attitude.

If you believe your girlfriend kept herself chaste, then even if something happened and you were given a green hat to wear on your head, you wouldn't care, and you would still marry your girlfriend.

But if you don't believe it.

Even if your girlfriend has kept herself completely chaste, you won't marry her.

You have to believe in the power of belief!

Whether Hashirama Senju could kill himself with a kunai was not important; what mattered was that Uchiha Madara believed he could.

After Uchiha Makoto's explanation,

the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire was persuaded and no longer fussed over the issue of the kunai.

"This... this is truly a joyous occasion."

The Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire stood blankly in a daze for a moment, digesting Uchiha Makoto's news in his mind. After repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the matter, he finally squeezed a few words out of his mouth.

Deep down, however, his own feelings were a mixed bag of emotions, full of bitterness.

The power of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara was already enough to subvert the pattern of the entire Ninja World.

Yet this was not without a solution.

The Ninja World had been plagued by endless wars for so many years. The ninja clans constantly had conflicts due to competing for resources and mission quotas, and the daimyo also hoped to use this to make the ninja clans hate each other and exhaust each other from within... while they themselves could safely hide in the background. The Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan were the most prominent examples.

To solve the problems of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, the best method was to let brave men deal with brave men, and let heroes deal with heroes. Let Uchiha Madara deal with Hashirama Senju.

If the direction of events was that Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju continued the fine traditions of their ancestors, fighting all the way until the very last moment of their lives,

that would of course be for the best.

Yet the worst possible thing had happened.

What the hell, the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan reconciled?

You actually reconciled!

How could such a thing be allowed?

To realize the ideals of your childhood, so that children would no longer step onto the battlefield... oh, and for the peace of the Ninja World?

What absolute bullshit about bloodline ninja clans!

Ninja world peace, just for ninja world peace?

Such a slogan that we daimyo had already played out and discarded, the two of you hold in your mouths like precious treasures!

You disgraced your ancestors down to the eighteenth generation, both the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan!
