Ch. 1612Where the Leaves of Konoha Dance, the Fire Lives On
Ten years after Konoha and the Ninja World united and began to prosper, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju reflected on their achievements and the influence of Madara from another world. They resolved to keep improving their world before the other Madara returned in twenty years.
- Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju looked over Konoha and agreed that their dream had begun to come true, though inequality and other problems remained.
- Madara Uchiha argued that future generations had to carry their work forward, and recalled young ninjas and civilians reclaiming desert farmland and rescuing people from a flood.
- Hashirama Senju suggested that Madara from another world had used his threat to spur the Ninja World into unity and reform, and Madara Uchiha acknowledged that possibility.
- Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha considered whether the other-world Madara had once pursued peace through Infinite Tsukuyomi, and concluded that he had left their world a chance to choose a different path.
- Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha vowed to make their world better over the next twenty years, so the returning Madara would find a united Ninja World where people lived as equals.
