The Strange Destiny

Senju Tobirama began to recall the entire process of the First Shinobi World War. He led the Hokage's guard to meet with the Raikage. Because the war went very smoothly, Konoha achieved an unprecedented victory and also severely suppressed the arrogance of Kumogakure.

Finally, both sides decided to hold a meeting to discuss the withdrawal of troops and peace talks. However, after the meeting, which was going well, the Kumogakure Ginkaku brothers from Kinkaku burst in, led their subordinates, killed the Second Raikage of Kumogakure on the spot, and pursued Senju Tobirama.

Doesn't all of this look like a power struggle? That's normal, right? The problem is that the Kinkaku and Ginkaku appeared in the meeting room without any prior notice, not even a sound was heard. Even if they are ambitious, the Second Raikage A's guards are the elite of the elite.

It's quite perplexing that even the powerful Kinkaku Ginkaku couldn't utter a sound when facing them. Upon witnessing this, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, immediately took the six children and left. With his strength, as long as he set up various traps and forbidden techniques on the way back, even if Kinkaku and Ginkaku were incredibly powerful, they would likely have to pay a heavy price to catch up with him.

However, after killing a few elite ninjas with only six children, he began to entrust the future of Konoha to the first Monkey who would be left to take the fall.

Then Senju Tobirama resolutely drew everyone's attention to go out and fight Kinkaku and Ginkaku. This was the stupidest decision he ever made. If he had taken the children and returned to the village with all his might, he would have been at least 90% sure of being safe. But instead, he chose to risk his life to stop Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

Deep down, he felt that doing so was the right thing to do, so Senju Tobirama did it.

When facing Kinkaku and Ginkaku, although they had various Six Paths Tools with different functions, which caused him some trouble, Senju Tobirama, after all, a strong man who had experienced the Warring States Period.

While facing their various ninja tools was somewhat troublesome, it wasn't insurmountable. Most importantly, during the battle, Senju Tobirama inexplicably felt his eyelids getting heavy, thus missing many opportunities to kill the two.

Senju Tobirama initially thought it was just because he hadn't rested well, but after hearing Namikaze Minato's words, he began to squint and ponder everything, and eventually he understood some things.

That means the Heavenly Dao had already existed and had planned everything, and his fate was to be killed by the missing-nin Kinkaku and Ginkaku of Kumogakure for the sake of the village's future!

Well, his original plan was to hold off the Kinkaku Ginkaku and then find an opportunity to Flying Thunder God Technique to escape, but he was inexplicably suppressed and ended up fighting them in a stalemate.

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. Facing the gazes of his relatives, friends, and villagers, he nodded. "During the peace negotiations after World War I, I actually had more solutions and more choices, but I chose the most absurd and foolish method. Although I don't know why, it was terrifying."

"Furthermore, during the battles with Kinkaku Ginkaku, I was slow to react and listless, missing many opportunities to kill them. At the time, I only acted because I was tired. Now that I think about it, the Heavenly Dao had already intervened to suppress me back then." After saying Senju Tobirama closed his eyes. Wise men rarely get angry.

But this time, for the first time, he felt that he had died unjustly. He was around sixty years old at the time, the prime of his life, and he could tell everyone with certainty that his physical condition was really not a problem.

"Even Izuna's death was related to him." Senju Tobirama finally understood all of this, and he lowered his head without speaking.

Suddenly, Uchiha Izuna's pupils contracted. He began to recall his last battle with Senju Tobirama. Although their destructive power and influence on the battlefield could not compare to Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, they were still top-notch fighters.

Experts like them should understand that defeating and capturing their opponent is the most advantageous outcome on the battlefield. Moreover, both of them are playing the role of commanders of their respective clans. Uchiha Izuna Senju Tobirama as well.

However, at that time, when he defeated Uchiha Izuna and sensed that Senju Chakra's Senju Tobirama was about to run out, he prepared to capture Senju Tobirama alive. Senju Tobirama's eyes made Uchiha Izuna feel unfamiliar, as if a terrifying existence was hidden within him.

This stunned him for two seconds. What does two seconds mean in a high-level ninja battle? While he was stunned, Senju Tobirama threw out a large number of Kunai, including the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

When he came to his senses and activated his Sharingan, the moment he saw the Flying Thunder God Kunai, an ominous premonition arose. Just as he was about to Hand Seals to cast the Substitution Technique, his hand suddenly froze. Yes, it froze!

For a high-level ninja, it's almost impossible for their hand to freeze, but that's exactly what happened!

Then, Senju Tobirama continued to Hand Seals, and after teleporting to the location of the Flying Thunder God Kunai, he unhesitatingly unleashed the Flying Thunder God Slash towards his chest.

After doing all this, Uchiha Izuna looked at Senju Tobirama with disbelief in his eyes. When Senju Tobirama unleashed the Flying Thunder God Slash Senju Tobirama, his pupils contracted, and his face was full of disbelief. He looked at Izuna with a questioning gaze, as if asking why Izuna didn't dodge.

Uchiha Izuna turned his head away. He had initially thought that it was Senju Shiro who had abandoned their friendship and violated the code of honor in a duel between experts, and had attacked him. But it seemed that there was more to the story here!

"Yes, although Senju Shiro is not likable, what he said is true." Uchiha Izuna recounted the whole story from that time, ending with...

The Ninjutsu genius's expression changed. He looked at Uchiha Izuna and Senju Tobirama with disbelief in his eyes. When two sides fight, the leaders on both sides naturally know the rules, including Hashirama and Madara.

After so many great battles, no one really wanted to kill the other. But just as the Warring States Period was about to end, Senju Tobirama couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to suddenly kill someone. This is unbelievable!

Upon hearing Uchiha Izuna's words, the God of Shinobi clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, filled with intense hatred and killing intent.

"Damn it, damn it all, is my fate destined to be one of betrayal and betrayal, one of destruction and death? Why the hell is Heavenly Dao so cruel? Just because Hashirama is an idiot and easy to control, you let him have a large family, while I am unruly and have my own thoughts, so you've arranged this fate for me?"

"Heh, what a Heavenly Dao! What an embodiment of fairness! What a call to summon everyone to conquer the extraterrestrial demons! I think the real demon is you, Heavenly Dao!" The God of Shinobi had completely understood the whole process.

However, he was no match for the Heavenly Dao, so he turned his gaze to Uchiha Kō, who sat in the main seat with his legs crossed and bore a striking resemblance to himself.

Uchiha Kō was also lost in thought at this moment. His arrival seemed to have awakened the self-awareness of these people, and they began to recall the strange things that had happened to them before.

However, their statements also clarified some of the misunderstandings Uchiha Kō had about the original work, making it clear that some parts should not have been done that way.

It turns out that all these plot-driven deaths were due to the Heavenly Dao. What a Heavenly Dao! What a representative of the world's will, doing such despicable and shameless things.

Upon hearing these words, Namikaze Minato took a deep breath. "Therefore, it is clear that all our misfortunes, things that should not have happened to us, have occurred because of the will of Heavenly Dao!"

"Therefore, we should unite as one to resist the Heavenly Dao. Our lives should be in our own hands, not lived according to the script of the will of Heavenly Dao. It is wrong for us to die just because it says so, or for us to live just because it says so!" Namikaze Minato's face turned red as he said this.

After learning his original fate, he was the first to reflect on his actions, pondering why things had turned out this way. In the end, he concluded that fate is unpredictable.

But who caused this destiny? There is only one: the Heavenly Dao.

With Minato's strength, he could have easily arrived at the front lines with Obito Uchiha and the others in time, but inexplicably he couldn't get there, always arriving a step too late. If arriving late once could be a coincidence, but always arriving late, Minato couldn't believe it was happening to him.

In the end, Rin died in battle, Obito was seriously injured, and Kakashi fell into despair.

These are all good children! Why did they end up like this? The fault doesn't lie with the children, it's with that damned God!

Some ninjas, their eyes blazing with fury, rose to their feet and smashed their sake bowls on the ground. "Damn it! We thought the Heavenly Dao was only relatively fair, but now it seems it's all driven by selfishness!"

"Since he is ruthless, don't blame us for being unjust!"

"Damn it, anyone who dares to back down is no longer a brother!"

Upon hearing Namikaze Minato's words and hearing the experts' own admission, they were initially terrified and felt a chill run down their spines. However, upon seeing the person sitting in the main seat, their mood suddenly improved considerably.

Furthermore, they believed that as long as Uchiha Kō was around, there was no enemy they couldn't defeat. The four hidden villages were examples of this: the powerful Third Raikage A, the cunning Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, and the despicable Fourth Kazekage Rasa —all of them were ultimately destroyed or subdued by Uchiha Kō.

The trust that Uchiha Kō Konoha Ninja had in Uchiha Owl was almost fanatical! They believed that as long as Uchiha Kō led them, they would be able to achieve victory, no matter who the enemy was or how difficult the situation was. That man would always plan everything and lead from the front.

Uchiha Kō heard what Namikaze Minato and the crowd were saying. He stood up, a move that drew everyone's attention. The once noisy hall, which resembled a marketplace, suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked in Uchiha Kō's direction and stood up to watch.

Nara Rokumei and Hatake Sakumo stood on either side of Uchiha Kō, knowing that what Uchiha Kō was about to say was the key point.
