Hashirama and Tobirama were silent at the same time.
Valley of the End is devastated, and the broken river flows slowly around the rubble. The two Stone Statue that once symbolized the fateful opposition between Senju and Uchiha are now in dilapidated condition.
But the shock in the hearts of the two brothers was more intense than the ruined valley.
Madara Uchiha is the reincarnation of Indra.
Hashirama is the reincarnation of Asura.
Senju and Uchiha have been fighting for thousands of years, and countless people from both sides have died. It turns out that they are not two unrelated bloodlines fighting each other.
Rather, they are the descendants of Sage of Six Paths's two sons, who have been dragged into an endless cycle by a fate that spans thousands of years.
Hashirama looked down at his hands.
These hands once established Konoha, held Kunai, and killed countless Uchiha Ninja.
"That's it..."
His voice is very low.
"When Madara and I met for the first time, it was like we already knew each other."
"Obviously he comes from two families that have had a feud for generations. He was taught that he must kill each other since childhood, but when I saw him, I never really regarded him as an enemy."
Tobirama had a sullen face and did not refute.
He remembered how his brother and Madara Uchiha had known each other since they were young, and how his brother had argued with the clan over and over again for Madara, and even more so, of the decisive battle between Valley of the End that almost shattered the entire Land of Fire.
In the past, he always thought that his eldest brother was too naive, and Madara was Uchiha Clan's most dangerous careerist.
But if the two of them are the reincarnations of Indra and Asura, then the entangled bond has a deeper explanation.
"Reincarnation..."
Tobirama slowly raised his head, his scarlet Impure World Reincarnation eyes fixed on Ren.
"You said Madara is Indra and the eldest brother is Asura. So, is it no coincidence that Senju and Uchiha give birth to top geniuses every few decades?"
"Of course not."
Ren spoke calmly.
"For thousands of years, Indra and Chakra of Asura have been reincarnated in the blood of their descendants."
"Whenever two groups of Chakra wake up in the same era, Uchiha and Senju will each have a genius who is far superior to their peers. They have the strongest eye power and the strongest vitality, and they will continue to get closer and closer to each other under the pull of fate, and finally move towards opposition."
Tobirama's face keeps changing.
He remembered the incomplete records left by Senju clan.
Before Warring States, Senju and Uchiha had always been each other's most feared enemies. Every few decades, an extremely powerful person who could suppress an era would appear between the two races.
Sometimes it is Uchiha who gives birth to Mangekyō Sharingan's Monster.
Sometimes there are geniuses like Chakra who are so huge that it is unreasonable to appear on the side of Senju.
Then, an unprecedented war will break out between the two races.
This kind of thing went on for so long that later generations only regarded it as the inevitable result of the accumulation of blood feud between the two races.
But looking back now, it was no coincidence at all.
"That's it..."
Tobirama clenched his fists and his voice was deep.
"Senju's family history does record many unexplainable things."
"Obviously both tribes have suffered heavy losses due to the war, but there will always be someone who can change the situation at the most critical period. After those people appear, the war between the two sides will quickly escalate until one side is completely destroyed, or both sides suffer losses."
"I only used to think that this was the result of Senju and Uchiha competing for Shinobi World's hegemony."
"But if Indra and Asura continue to reincarnate, everything will make sense."
He looked at Hashirama, his eyes a little more complicated.
"Brother, you and Madara Uchiha are the most obvious examples of this generation."
"Your power far exceeds that of Ninja. Even the major ninja clans can only look up to you. From your acquaintance to your breakup to your battle with Valley of the End, you are almost completely in line with the reincarnation destiny mentioned by Ren."
Hashirama was speechless for a long time.
He originally thought that the tragedy between him and Madara was just because the reality was too cruel, and it was just because the hatred accumulated between the ninja clan was too deep.
But now it seems that they may have been pushed forward by an older force since their birth.
"But I have never felt the presence of Asura."
Hashirama raised his head, his expression still a little hard to accept.
"I'm just Hashirama."
"I founded Konoha because I don't want to see children die on the battlefield anymore. I want to end the war with Madara just because we have the same dream."
"If I am the reincarnation of Asura, why have I never noticed anything unusual?"
Ren looked at him.
"Because you are not Asura."
"Reincarnation does not mean that your soul has been completely taken away, nor does it mean that you will have the memory of your previous life. Asura's will has long since dissipated. What remains in your body is only his Chakra and blood origin."
"You are still Hashirama."
"But your power is indeed affected by Asura's chakra."
Hashirama frowned.
Ren continued, "You are born with a vitality that exceeds that of ordinary people. The Chakra energy is far greater than the ordinary Senju. The recovery speed after injury is amazing, and you can even enter Sage Mode quickly without relying on external objects."
"And Wood Release."
"Wood Release is not just as simple as Kekkei Genkai. It represents the most extreme vitality, which can give birth to forests, suppress Tailed Beasts, absorb Chakra, and even rejuvenate broken mountains and rivers."
"The source of these powers is not just because you have Sage Body."
"More so because you inherited Chakra from Asura."
Hashirama was stunned in place.
Reminds me of my childhood.
At that time, the elders in the clan were amazed that his wound recovery speed was incredibly fast. The Chakra control that other children had to practice for several years to master, he could easily do it with a little adaptation.
Later, he awakened Wood Release, and even his father could not explain why this power appeared in Senju clan.
Everyone said that he was a genius that Senju clan has rarely seen in hundreds of years.
But it turns out that this power is not just talent.
It is the power of Asura that continues in his body.
"No wonder..."
Hashirama Slowly hold the palm of your hand.
"No wonder I always feel that my Chakra is different from others."
"It turns out that Madara and I were not rivals in the ordinary sense from the beginning."
Tobirama's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He looked at Ren and his voice became colder.
"Since eldest brother is the reincarnation of Asura, and Madara Uchiha is the reincarnation of Indra, then who are you?"
"You own Mangekyō Sharingan, master Complete Body Susanoo, and your strength has even exceeded Madara's peak during his lifetime."
"Are you the new reincarnation of Indra?"
Hashirama also looked at Ren.
Today's Ren is too powerful.
The kind of eye power that transcends common sense, the almost infinite growth rate, and the understanding of the secrets of Six Paths are all things that people cannot ignore.
Ren shook his head.
"No."
Tobirama did not let down his guard.
"It's not the reincarnation of Indra, why do you know so much?"
"Because I have seen more things than you."
Ren did not explain more and only continued, "Moreover, Indra and Asura in this world have indeed been reincarnated."
"It's just that after thousands of years of reincarnation, their original obsession has been continuously weakened. What is left in the bodies of future generations are just two special Chakra that have been passed down to this day."
