Konoha
Root underground laboratory
Since the death of the former Root leader Shimura Danzō, Root has been taken over by the new Hokage assistant.
After the death of Danzo among the remaining ninjas of Root, the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal planted by him has been eliminated.
Some ninjas who are willing to stay in Root and obey the leadership of Hokage are freed from more or less of their crimes and continue to contribute to Konoha.
Some of them were tired of Root's never-ending killings. Tobirama Senju allowed them to return to their respective ninja clans after retaining their ninja identities, or become ordinary ninjas, such as Torune Aburame, Fū Yamanaka and others.
The small number of Danzo's die-hard loyalists who still resisted even after Danzo's death have been eliminated.
And this underground laboratory of Root, under the order of Shimura Danzō, studied Hashirama Cells for him, as well as Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan.
After being taken over by Shikaku Nara, this place was not abandoned, but was stopped from use. Most of the experimental equipment and samples were left intact here, waiting for the execution of Hokage.
Tap tap tap...
A burst of busy footsteps sounded in this deserted underground laboratory.
Tobirama Senju took out a seal scroll in his hand and then opened it.
A group of objects that were entangled into a rice dumpling shape fell to the ground, with black runes floating on them.
"Solution!"
Tobirama Senju Put your index and middle fingers together, and with a slight thought in your mouth, the black runes wrapped around the rice dumpling gradually faded away.
"To be honest, I'm really not ready to face big brother..."
Tobirama Senju murmured in his mouth, looking a little hesitant.
This wonderful object wrapped into a rice dumpling is exactly the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju that came out of Orochimaru Impure World Reincarnation during the Konoha Crush period.
After Hashirama Senju was sealed by him, it has been kept in the sealing scroll.
Akatsuki is now cooperating with Orochimaru. Since he wants to take action against Konoha, he will definitely rely on the Impure World Reincarnation army under his control, plus a Madara Uchiha who is very likely to be reincarnated.
But relying on his own strength is not enough to deal with it.
Therefore, Tobirama Senju thought of Hashirama Senju who was sealed by him and forgot to deal with it.
He once told Tsunade that Hashirama's soul had returned to Pure Land. Well, being sealed should count, right?
"Woooooooo..."
A sound came from the big ball of rice dumplings, and then a hand tore through the outer layer of restraints and stretched out.
"Why is it so dark?"
Then, Hashirama Senju poked his head out, murmured to himself, and turned around in confusion. When he saw the figure of Tobirama Senju, his face lit up.
The effect of the spell Orochimaru inserted into the back of his head had dissipated after such a long period of time, so Hashirama Senju regained consciousness.
"Tobirama Senju! Did that big-ass guy do it again?"
Hashirama Senju patted the dust on his body and asked in surprise.
"Look, I told you a long time ago not to play with forbidden magic. Now it's okay, we have been summoned to be sandbags again..."
Hashirama Senju was about to give a serious lecture to Tobirama Senju, but when he circled around and did not find the caster of Impure World Reincarnation, his face was full of doubts.
"Brother! I called you out!"
Tobirama Senju shouted softly, interrupting his doubts.
"Huh?"
Hashirama tilted his head and looked at his brother in surprise.
"Brother, it's a long story. I'll explain it to you slowly. You should be mentally prepared first..."
"After I sealed you..."
Tobirama Senju explained most of what he had done since his resurrection to Hashirama Senju.
Although Hashirama Senju is already at peace after Tobirama Senju made a meaningful proposal.
But after he heard a series of shocking events, he couldn't help but change his expression.
"Are all Madara's clan members gone?"
"Are our tribesmen gone too?"
"Tobirama Senju, did you destroy Iwagakure?!"
"You want to collect all Tailed Beasts?!"
Hashirama Senju let out a series of exclamations, but fortunately there was no one here at this time and it did not cause any commotion.
It wasn't until Tobirama Senju told Hashirama all about the situation and the crisis Konoha was about to face that he finally stopped talking.
After listening to Hashirama Senju, First Hokage, who has always been naturally stupid and somewhat contrastingly cute, fell into a rare silence and deep thought.
After a long time, he finally spoke slowly:
"Those two Uchiha..."
"Don't worry, they are in good condition now. They are all men. Uchiha will not have no descendants in the future."
Tobirama Senju saw Hashirama's worries at a glance and explained to him.
"That's good. Uchiha and Senju originally established Konoha, but now... I'm sorry for Madara..." Hashirama lowered his head, showing a sentimental look.
"Then Senju Clan..."
"Don't worry, there is still a bloodline of Senju in Land of Fire's capital, and Xiaozang is still alive and well."
Before Hashirama could ask questions, Tobirama Senju once again relieved his worries.
"Tobirama Senju You..."
After learning that both tribes still had successors, Hashirama Senju quickly recovered from his sadness. When he raised his head, his face revealed the perseverance of being an eldest brother.
"Didn't you agree to my decision to distribute Tailed Beasts at the beginning? Why start a war for Tailed Beasts now? For these Jinchuriki, you also gave Sunagakure and Iwagakure... By doing this, wouldn't you destroy the peace of Shinobi World..."
"No, brother, you are wrong! The peace of Shinobi World no longer exists!"
Tobirama Senju did not humbly accept Hashirama Senju's criticism and interrupted Hashirama's long speech.
"Brother, do you know that just a few years after your death, other ninja villages no longer had any worries, and they immediately started First Shinobi World War! That's when I died!"
"Distributing Tailed Beastss to the four major countries will not only prevent them from having any scruples about balancing their strength, but will only make them crazier when launching wars!"
"In just a few decades after this, brother, do you know how many Shinobi World wars broke out in Shinobi World?"
"Three times!"
"As much as I don't want to admit it, facts have proven that Madara is right. Only a unified country can achieve true peace! One country, one village, this system will only breed endless chaos..."
Tobirama Senju reprimanded Hashirama Senju for his wrong understanding.
"Madara is right... Tobirama Senju You actually admit Madara."
Hashirama Senju had a look of shock on his face. His younger brother had always refused to deal with Madara Uchiha, not only because of the reason for killing Izuna Uchiha, but also because of the hatred accumulated during the Warring States Period.
But now, Tobirama Senju actually thinks Madara is right?
"Can it be said that there really cannot be peace between Five Great Nations?" Hashirama couldn't refute Tobirama Senju's words and looked gloomy.
"Can't."
Tobirama Senju ruthlessly interrupted his elder brother's reverie.
"Forget it, let's leave these things to Tobirama Senju for you to solve." Hashirama Senju shook his head and stopped thinking about these unpleasant things.
"Tobirama Senju, that is to say, that Akatsuki is going to attack the village soon?" Hashirama Senju asked with a rare cold look on his face.
Konoha was the dream he and Madara shared when they were young, and he would never allow anyone to destroy Konoha!
"Yes, big brother, they have probably used Impure World Reincarnation to resurrect many powerful people in the past, and it is very likely that including Madara Uchiha."
