Senju Hashirama.
Uchiha Madara.
These two had once shaken the Shinobi World and joined hands to build Konohagakure. Their existence had become legend.
Today, their era had officially come to an end. An era defined by one person did not usually end with their death. Even after some people died, their renown lived on forever. There was only one way to bring their era to an end: someone who came after them had to prove they were stronger. Naruto had undoubtedly done just that. In a direct confrontation, he had crushed Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama with overwhelming force—and it hadn't been a simple one-on-one victory. He had faced the two of them working together and defeated them in his own way!
With tens of thousands of ninjas as witnesses,
Naruto had personally ended the legends of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara!
From this moment on,
Naruto had taken their place and become the new legend of the Shinobi World.
The destruction of Konohagakure had instead become little more than a side note. If, before this, some people had been unwilling to accept Naruto and the Snow Ninja Village's rule and had secretly been waiting for a chance to rise again, then the news of Naruto defeating Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in an open, honorable confrontation—almost crushing them outright—spreading across the entire Shinobi World was enough to shatter the courage of those "people lurking in the shadows." Even if a small number of ambitious schemers were unwilling to abandon their aspirations, as long as Naruto was around,
they wouldn't dare make a move.
The Shinobi World as a whole couldn't be rocked by any major upheaval.
Just as it had been under Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
One could even say his influence surpassed theirs!
That was the fearsome
