Uchiha Izuna's Questioning

Uchiha did not answer, but murmured, "It's alright, it's all in the past, we must look forward."

Although Uchiha Izuna nodded on the surface and seemed obedient, he was actually deep in thought. It seems that his brother has suffered a lot of grievances over the years.

Since Uchiha isn't answering me, I'll just leave him be. I'll ask Uchiha Kō sometime! He's my grandson; he can't possibly lie to me.

"Great Grandfather, now that I've resurrected Grandpa, what you promised me..." Uchiha Kō rubbed his hands together, looking excited.

Uchiha Izuna placed the object in front of Uchiha, looked at Uchiha Kō a frown, and said, "You grandson, what did you ask my older brother to promise you? I'll tell you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha interrupted him, "Alright, Izuna, it's nothing serious."

Uchiha Izuna snorted coldly and said to Uchiha Kō, "You grandson, come out with me for a moment."

Uchiha Kō looked at Uchiha nodded. Only then did Uchiha Kō get up and walk out with Uchiha Izuna.

Uchiha Izuna stepped out of the cave, he saw the first rays of sunlight shining on him for the first time in a long time. He first turned his head away and used his hand to shield his eyes from the direct sunlight.

He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the sky, looked at the sun, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "It's been so long, sunshine. It's been so long, the Ninja World!"

He looked at Uchiha Kō beside him and smiled, "You're my grandson, so you'll answer whatever I ask you, right?"

Unlike the cute Uchiha Izuna in the cave, the current Uchiha Izuna gives Uchiha Kō the feeling of a natural negotiator. His words are effortless and his professional fake smile makes him seem like an easy person to talk to if you don't know him.

"Yes, Grandpa, I will answer whatever you want to ask, without reservation." Uchiha Kō nodded.

"Why did you come to live in such a far place all by yourself, instead of going back to the clan?" Uchiha Izuna stared at Uchiha Kō, as if to say, "Don't try anything funny. I can tell the truth just by looking at you!"

"Uchiha and Senju Hashirama founded Konoha Ninja Village. Originally, Uchiha was to become the First Hokage, but because people favored Hashirama, everyone supported Hashirama to become Hokage, so he became the First Hokage."

"Hashirama promised that Madara would succeed him as the Second Hokage, and he strongly recommended Uchiha at the time. However, due to the villagers' fear of the Uchiha, coupled with Senju Tobirama's words that the Uchiha Clan was unstable and dangerous, Second Hokage Senju Tobirama by the villagers."

Hearing this, Uchiha Izuna was stunned. Looking into the cave with a pained expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "The inherently evil Senju Tobirama, and the wavering Senju Hashirama!"

He believed that these two people had betrayed his brother's trust and love, and that Senju Hashirama's sins were even greater than Senju Tobirama's!

Politically speaking, you were the First Hokage. You promised your brother, Uchiha, that you would be the Second Hokage. But then a popular election came along. What do you mean by that?

What's the point of your strong advocacy? Why not use your overwhelming strength to firmly choose Uchiha!

You should know that Uchiha resolutely chose you back then, and in the end, he chose to cease hostilities, make peace, and establish the village. And what did you do? You scumbag!

Uchiha Izuna originally thought that Senju Hashirama was the one who cared about his older brother the most besides himself, but it turns out he was nothing special. What kind of brother are you, whose beliefs can be swayed by the opinions of others?

And that white-haired guy, Senju Tobirama, you're the one who talks too much? So the Uchiha is unstable? Bullshit!

Izuna's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was churning with turmoil. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the two Senju Clan brothers were no good.

Pure Land

Hashirama, "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel very lost. I miss Madara a bit. I wonder where he is in the Pure Land."

Tobirama! Yawned! Damn it, it must be that inherently evil Uchiha Izuna muttering about me! That bastard!

"Why do you have such a big problem with Izuna? And if it weren't for you back then..." Hashirama frowned and looked at Senju Tobirama.

Senju Tobirama frowned and said, "Brother, you need to understand, this was a battlefield! It was either you or me who died. Did you and Uchiha hold back?"

Senju Hashirama fell silent. In truth, their interaction was just for show; neither of them was using their full strength, both were holding back. Who knew you would be so fierce, sending Izuna to his death with a single Flying Thunder God Slash!

"You... never mind, why risk your life like this, young man!" He patted Senju Tobirama the shoulder, shook his head, and there were some things he couldn't say.

Senju Tobirama frowned and snorted coldly, then sat down to the side, intending to ignore Hashirama for at least a day, no, half a day! No, maybe two hours.

Senju Hashirama couldn't help but shake his head, looking at the sky above the Pure Land, wondering how the Senju and Uchiha doing.

Outside the cave

Izuna clenched his fists tightly, but on the surface he had a smile on his face. "Knowing my older brother as I do, he probably won't let this go so easily. He'll most likely have the Uchiha Clan stage a coup with him, or take the clan away from Konoha."

"Grandpa is right, but..." Uchiha Kō sighed.

"But what?" A vague sense of unease crept into his mind. Could it be the Uchiha Clan...?

"The Uchiha Clan was tired of war and disgusted with Uchiha, who started it. That day, Uchiha said he wanted to stage a coup, but everyone opposed it. In the end, Uchiha left the Uchiha Clan and Konoha alone," said Uchiha Kō.

Uchiha Izuna was first angry, then sneered, and finally helpless. "The Uchiha Clan is going backwards. They've lost all the glory they once had."

"If I'm not mistaken, the condition you wanted my older brother to agree to when you resurrected me was probably to let him return to the village," Uchiha Izuna said casually, his eyes revealing disdain.

Uchiha Kō "..."

How come this old man is so smart? Uchiha Kō didn't refute it, and just looked at Uchiha Izuna.

"Looking at me is useless; your thoughts are all written on your face!" Uchiha Izuna said disdainfully.

Uchiha Kō felt utterly powerless; his grandfather being too smart wasn't necessarily a good thing.

"Don't worry, I promise you I will keep my word. But I'm quite curious about you. What level of strength have you reached? What position do you hold in Konoha?" Uchiha Izuna smiled slightly.

"Me? I'm just a slightly stronger Kage Level shinobi. Currently, I'm the Vice Hokage of Konoha, in charge of the military and diplomacy." Uchiha Kō smiled.

Uchiha Izuna's eyes lit up. "Oh? In charge of the military and diplomacy?"

"Yes, all ninja armies are under my command and fight in unison! I have grasped the true military strength of Konoha!" Uchiha Kō said proudly.

"Not bad, not bad. Are you now the head of the Uchiha Clan?" Uchiha Izuna asked.

Uchiha Kō shook his head. "No, I'm just an elder."

Uchiha Izuna nodded. "Alright, I understand. My brother promised to return to Konoha, and I'll try to persuade him, not now."

Uchiha Kō nodded. "Of course!"
