Chapter 398 Obito Uchiha wanted to stab someone in the eyes.
Chapter 398 Obito Uchiha's gaze as he wanted to kill someone.
The Fourth Shinobi World War timeline is indeed as described.
Tobirama Senju crossed his arms, gazing solemnly out the window, as if conversing with a departed friend across time: "My elder brother Hashirama followed a path of emotional connection strikingly similar to Ashura's. And while I have always maintained that systems and rules should be the cornerstones of maintaining the village—"
His voice paused slightly, revealing a rare hint of helplessness, "but in the end, it was still difficult to shake his firm ideals."
"As that voice said, the eldest brother's peace relies too much on his personal charisma and overwhelming power."
Tobirama recalled those days with a solemn tone: "After I succeeded him as the second Hokage, those hidden dangers that had been concealed by his brilliance—those undercurrents that he had never revealed during his lifetime—all subsequently manifested as real crises, appearing one after another."
Hashirama Senju pouted slightly, looking a little aggrieved, then, as if remembering something, pointed with a self-righteous air: "If we're really going to get to the bottom of this, Madara was the one who led me down this path first!"
"Varied...
...?!
Madara Uchiha's pupils dilated in shock. Even though he was used to Hashirama's outrageous behavior, he never expected that someone could be so shameless!
"Isn't that right?" Hashirama recalled the time he and Madara skipped stones together on the Naka River when they were children. "When we were kids, you told me by the river that only when our hearts are in sync, and we drink the swearing wine together, becoming sworn brothers, can our hearts truly be honest with each other, and there will be no more conflict, right?"
"That was so many years ago! Can't you learn to grow up on your own?! Idiot!!"
'
Plan
Hashirama was instantly dejected, as if Madara was the one who had betrayed him.
"How could this be? Madara is the one who broke our promise to each other—"
"—" Madara roared in anger, "Are you fucking crazy, Hashirama?! Don't talk like I abandoned you, you idiot!"
"Isn't that right?" The First Hokage pointed at him with his eyes and listed his seven deadly sins: "We promised to drink brotherly sake together when we were kids, but you reneged on that promise after you awakened your Sharingan. Tobirama and I stayed up for three nights to negotiate an alliance with Iwagakure, and you destroyed it in one fight. We agreed to build the village together, but you suddenly left, and when you came back, you didn't even say goodbye, bringing the Nine-Tails to destroy the village we worked so hard to build. And the Hokage Rock—"
"Shut up!!" Madara Uchiha, too lazy to listen to his rambling (talk-no-jutsu), yelled at Hashirama Senju with all his might, "Your voice is drowning out that guy's! How are we supposed to hear who won and who lost in the end?!"
Duang—
Hashirama muttered under his breath, "It's Madara's voice that's louder—"
"Brother, you should say less." Even Tobirama Senju sided with Madara. "What good does it do you to keep making Madara angry?"
"Making someone angry is really funny—" Isn't that interesting?
"Shut up, Anika!"
"oh----"
On another rock in the Fourth Shinobi World War timeline, Team 7 and the other twelve Konoha members gathered together.
Neji stared at the words in the air and repeated in a low voice: "The strong subjectivity of decision-making and the sharp decline in efficiency after the expansion of scale are the long-term hidden dangers of Ashura and the First Hokage's path."
"Indra's path is scalable, decision-making is predictable, and the system does not depend on any specific individual." Tian Tian repeatedly emphasized the advantages of Indra's path, "Now it seems that the paths of the two brothers are essentially complementary."
"But the cost is also obvious," Sasuke calmly added. "It requires a huge initial investment, and the difficulty is too high. Without Ashura's mediation, it's easy to fail in the early stages of construction."
"Oh, right!!" Naruto suddenly spoke up: "Back then, the trials that the Six Paths Elder gave to Indra and Ashura—"
'
"What? What's wrong with the Sage of Six Paths' trial?" Sakura asked Naruto, puzzled.
"In the memories the old man gave us, I saw that trial!" Naruto gestured excitedly. "The two villages combined only had a few dozen people! According to the analysis in the comments, such a small scale would naturally be disadvantageous to Indra! But I think even the Six Paths Sage himself probably didn't think that far ahead back then!"
"Yes, yes!"
The new generation of Konoha members present immediately showed various expressions and fell into brief contemplation.
On the other side, Ashura, who was in the Ninja Clan successor trial timeline, carried the mirror that connected the timeline of the Fourth Shinobi World War on his back and also heard what Naruto said in the Fourth Shinobi World War.
He paused for a moment as he sped off in the direction Indra had gone.
"Is that so?!"
He muttered to himself, "I wonder if my brother has thought of this!" The thought that his brother might know these things would improve his mood, so Ashura couldn't help but continue running and gradually quicken his pace, wanting to have another good talk with his brother.
As he quickly chased after Indra in the direction he had left, Ashura had already driven Susanoo to a cliff.
Even if you don't want to listen, you can still hear the contemplative experiences shared by the Divine Tree's bullet screen.
"When the population is less than 150, the Asura's path has a dominant advantage. In a close-knit society, emotional connections can reach everyone, and rules and regulations only increase unnecessary governance costs."
"Therefore, at this scale, the Asura's path is the optimal governance model."
【"————"】
Less than 150 people —?
Even in his anger, Indra immediately grasped this important keyword.
"The current number of members in the Ninja Clan has reached over seven hundred, which means that the Ninja Clan is not suitable for Ashura's governance methods?" Hmph! That childish, dry way of expecting others to respond to him! Only a stubborn coward like my father would be satisfied with that!
"When the population size is between 150 and 2000, Indra and Asura each have different advantages and basic rules need to be established, but emotional connection remains the core means of reducing management costs."
"Therefore, at this scale, the best governance model should be for Asura to take the lead, acting as the spiritual leader of the masses like a mascot, and for Indra to assist him, acting as the implementer of Asura's naive ideas, turning theoretical discussions into practical actions."
The Valley of the End Original Timeline—
Since Tobirama Senju, the strongest songstress in the ninja world, made his last wish to use the power of voice acting without any cost, he discovered that even his Impure World Reincarnation no longer required the two necessary conditions of human sacrifice and the relics of the dead!
Therefore, without consuming chakra or sacrificing his life in reincarnation, he cast the spell without hesitation.
Before the issues of Indra and Ashura even came up, their timeline had already been illuminated one after another, bringing back their deceased younger brothers Senju Kawarama and Senju Itama, as well as Uchiha Madara's younger brothers Uchiha Togakushi, Uchiha Myoko, and Uchiha Kakuka!
Ban's face, which hadn't shown a smile in a long time, now revealed an undisguised joy in its gentle expression.
Hashirama, being an outwardly expressive person, would even hug his younger brothers and spin them around.
He even took his younger brothers for a ride on a wooden dragon, which prompted Madara to use his Susanoo to race Hashirama with his younger brothers.
Even when discussing the issues between Indra and Asura, and seeing how these issues repeatedly reflect who is right and who is wrong in their paths, the two can still calmly banter with each other.
Upon hearing the comment section say that when managing 150 to 2000 people, the naive one should act as a mascot-like spiritual leader, while the thoughtful one should be responsible for setting the rules and turning dreams into reality, Hashirama Senju excitedly waved his arms and shouted as if afraid others wouldn't notice him: "I know this model inside and out! I know it better than anyone!"
He put his arm around his younger brother's shoulder and enthusiastically explained to Madara and his brothers, "When Konoha was first established, the number of ninjas was exactly within this range! Back then, I was the mascot to unite everyone," and all the specific rules and systems were implemented by Tobirama bit by bit!
"How dare you say that?" Madara Uchiha crossed his arms and coldly retorted, "You dumped all the responsibility on your younger brother and then used your shadow clones to sneak off to the casino! What kind of older brother are you? No wonder Tobirama never showed you the slightest respect as his older brother."
Tobirama Senju stood to the side, his lips twitching slightly.
For the first time in his life, Madara Uchiha spoke up in defense of him, and this strange situation left him momentarily at a loss for how to react.
This caused the newly resurrected brothers to laugh so hard they were doubled over.
Meanwhile, the reflections on bullet screen walls are about to reach their final conclusion—
"When the population exceeds 2000, the social structure will undergo a fundamental transformation, with anonymous societies becoming the dominant form. At this stage, direct emotional connections between individuals become ineffective due to size limitations, and a detailed, clear, and impartial institutional system is necessary to ensure fairness and efficiency."
"Therefore, at this scale, a governance model centered on the Indra's path must be adopted: Indra leads the establishment of a comprehensive and clearly defined institutional framework and implementation system to ensure the reliability and sustainability of society's operation."
"At the same time, Asura should assist, responsible for maintaining humanistic care within the institutional framework, preventing the system from becoming overly rigid, and maintaining necessary emotional bonds within specific groups. This configuration can both meet the standardization and regulation requirements of large-scale social governance and preserve the warmth that civilization should have."
Upon hearing these thoughts, Indra's Sharingan narrowed slightly, his pupils seemingly showing both surprise and consideration.
His path is only suitable for groups of more than two thousand people, while the path of Asura is only suitable for groups of less than one hundred and fifty people.
In the end, did I win, or did Asura win?
【"think----"】
"Given that the issue does not specify population size or social structure, the ultimate winner of this issue is..."
]
【"none."】
Tobirama's death timeline—
"What's the connection between this and the Second Tsuchikage?"
"Will the ultimate victor be Master Wu?!"
The second generation Tsuchikage:
'
Konoha Village —
"Idiot! It means there are no real winners!"
"Based on governance model analysis, the Ninja Sect is currently in its most dangerous governance fault line. Its scale has exceeded the critical point of managing relationships with 150 people, and Ashura's governance model, which relies on personal charisma, has shown fatal flaws. The current apparent peace is entirely built on a terrifying balance of power against Indra, this 'external threat.'"
"Once this source of pressure disappears, the entire system will immediately fall into a power vacuum. Lacking institutional constraints, the Ninja Clan will quickly descend into factional infighting after its leader's death, ultimately facing inevitable disintegration."
"Is this... is this the truth behind how the Ninja Sect eventually evolved into the entire ninja world?"
"Upon closer reflection, it is indeed true. The Sage of Six Paths distributed his power among the disciples of the Ninja Clan, just as chakra is now present in every corner of the ninja world."
After Ashura's passing, no one else possessed the combined strength and charisma to shoulder the responsibility of leadership, which led to the disciples' dispersal.
Ninjas from different timelines unanimously conjured up in their minds that long-forgotten historical scene: after the death of Ashura, the leader of the Ninja Clan, his chosen successor, lacking that innate destiny and aptitude, ultimately failed to become a leader with the same unifying power as him.
The lack of institutional development has left outstanding talents and ordinary disciples in a "free-for-all" predicament. This long-term waste of talent and injustice has prompted those outstanding disciples to leave the Ninja Sect one after another with their respective followers and establish their own sects.
Instead of continuing to expand, the Ninja Clan disintegrated in a very short time. Ultimately, even the name "Ninja Clan" gradually disappeared into the annals of history, perhaps evolving into a clan named after a particularly outstanding disciple, thus ushering in an era of conflict among ninja families.
In the timeline of the Fourth Shinobi World War—
Sakura suddenly realized, "I always thought that Black Zetsu was the mastermind behind all of this!"
"That is indeed a reasonable speculation," Sasuke calmly analyzed, "but we cannot be certain whether Black Zetsu played a role in any key moments."
Shikamaru nodded solemnly: "Given Black Zetsu's style of doing things, he could very well have secretly instigated some members of the Ninja Clan to split up prematurely, or deceived Ashura's successor and induced them to make wrong decisions. These methods are consistent with his operating pattern over the past thousand years."
"After all, he's the guy who even Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha were toyed with. If it weren't for the barrage of comments, those two might still be in the dark." Kiba Inuya, the slightly dim-witted boy, hit the nail on the head. Even Akamaru sensed something was off and didn't bark at Kiba as he did when they were kids.
Obito Uchiha standing next to Kakashi:
"*————, how should he be described at this moment?"
"You remind me of a divine phrase, Obito," Kakashi said lazily.
Obito turned his head, his neck creaking, to look at him. "What kind of weird language is that?"
Kakashi lowered his eyes and casually concluded, "—The look in someone's eyes when they want to kill them can't be hidden."
Indeed. Being publicly executed in front of Rin, Kakashi, and the entire Allied Shinobi Forces, and having his past repeatedly exposed—didn't Obito Uchiha, as the second-in-command of the Fourth Shinobi World War, have any dignity left?!
Shikamaru glanced at Obito, who was about to explode in the distance, and Kiba, who was completely oblivious, rubbed his temples with a headache, and lowered his voice:
Fortunately, Madara Uchiha was far enough away.
66
If this happens with a mixed doubles match between the Uchiha clans, the First Hokage might have to personally give my teeth emergency treatment.
No, given their style, they might just have to ask the second-generation leader to use his "voice actor power" to resurrect him on the spot, and then reincarnate him into the next life—
Regardless of the lighthearted atmosphere of the Fourth Shinobi World War timeline—
People on both Ninja Sect timelines heard that Ashura's path was incorrect and unsustainable, perhaps even the very glory of his generation. Within the Ninja Sect, disciples whose will and hearts were not firm enough began to feel anxious about the uncertainty of the future.
"If Lord Ashura's path is wrong—then isn't the Sect Master's path the same one?"
A hesitant whisper rang out from the crowd, instantly snapping everyone out of their daze.
If even the path of the sect leader, the Sage of Six Paths, is questionable, then is the path of Indra, whom they regard as heresy, perhaps closer to the truth?
Once this thought took root, it spread like wildfire, giving rise to an even more terrifying conjecture: "What if Lord Indra's path is the right one—"
"Could there be a reason behind Kaguya-hime's actions, given that she was personally sealed away by the sect leader?"
"Could it be true, as some rumors suggest, that the two gentlemen were misled by the toad back then, which led them to misunderstand and betray their mother?"
