The Naruto fan war has given the Uchiha clan a huge shock.

Chapter 381 The Second Hokage's Plan

Chapter 381 The Second Hokage's Plan

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha let out a cold sneer.

"The resolve to kill you?" A ghostly light, like three tomoe, flickered in his crimson eyes, and his chakra surged around him as if it were a tangible substance. "That kind of thing... it was already like that back in the Valley of the End!! Hashirama!!"

If it were the Hashirama of the past, upon sensing Madara's expanding chakra and hearing him shout "Hashirama-ma-i!", he would undoubtedly have responded with the same chakra and yelled, "Madara!!!"

But the current Hashirama Senju is an incredibly reliable and perfect Hashirama!

He remained silent, his face grim, and did not respond to Ban's call.

Instead, facing the chakra-bursting Madara Uchiha, he silently raised the opposing hand seal in front of his chest—

Madara's Sharingan froze for a moment, then slowly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

It was an arc filled with inexplicable anger, fighting spirit, and madness!

He withdrew his chakra and fighting stance, and instead slowly raised his right hand, forming that familiar hand seal with his slender fingers.

"Hashirama," he said in a low voice, with an unmistakable seriousness, "this time, I will leave no room for compromise."

Tobirama Senju, waiting outside, was filled with regret. He thought he probably shouldn't have impulsively wished to change his older brother's personality. But saying that now seemed pointless; he could only hope that there was still room for maneuver in what would happen next.

In the timeline of Tobirama's death (he didn't actually die), Black Zetsu wished for Kaguya to descend upon the ninja world, but unexpectedly, due to the previous reward, Kaguya had already arrived in the ninja world ahead of time.

And this was before she was betrayed; she longed for true peace and was temporarily residing in the home of the Second Hokage of Konoha.

"Three wishes? —"

As the Second Hokage of Konoha, Tobirama Senju's wish was actually very simple.

He hoped to carry on his elder brother's legacy and continue to develop Konoha into a peaceful and prosperous village.

However, judging from the comments, things don't seem to be going as he expected.

Ultimately, Madara Uchiha is still alive, Danzo has become a rotting root buried in darkness, and Kagami died prematurely.

Black Zetsu's schemes were all developments that he, as a mortal, could not have accurately predicted one by one.

"If you dare make a wish that's harmful to Mom! I won't let you get away with it!!"

Black Zetsu, who was nestled on Kaguya's lap, turned and glared fiercely at Tobirama Senju.

But because the Otsutsuki body he obtained was that of a soft, chubby boy, this threat seemed like a child throwing a tantrum.

Tobirama Senju didn't even glance at him.

Only Madara Uchiha, carrying the "Mitomon Flame," glanced at Black Zetsu with his crimson eyes, a look that was both fierce and contemptuous.

Tobirama Senju: "My first wish is that the younger generation in the village will always correctly inherit my elder brother's Will of Fire."

This is a collection of Tobirama Senju's longing and wishes for his elder brother, Hashirama Senju.

This wish was also made to prevent the recurrence of Danzo or radical Uchiha groups led by Setsuna Uchiha in the future.

Madara Uchiha was not surprised that such a wish would be made.

He thought that Tobirama's first wish would at least be to solve the big problems he, Kaguya, and Black Zetsu.

Perhaps the second and third wishes are meant to solve their problems.

Madara Uchiha scoffed inwardly.

He had always looked down on Hashirama's younger brother, believing he only knew how to use despicable tricks and lacked Hashirama's uprightness.

However, Madara did not stop Tobirama's actions or thoughts.

After learning that it was all a scam, he was enveloped by a profound loneliness.

At this moment, he actually wanted to go to the Pure Land.

Find Hashirama Senju, and drink a cup with him like a nemesis, but also like an old friend.

Then ask him—

How exactly do we view Madara Uchiha? Infinite Tsukuyomi—is it really that bad?

Lost in thought, he didn't notice Tobirama's second wish—

"No matter when or what difficulties we encounter, I hope that the younger generation of Konoha will have a steadfast heart full of hope and courage."

Black Zetsu fawned over Kaguya, making small talk and saying in a sarcastic tone that Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, was like a fairy godmother in a fairy tale, saying things that were so naive they were disgusting.

Kaguya simply looked calmly at Tobirama Senju, seemingly oblivious to Black Zetsu's words.

Madara Uchiha couldn't quite explain what he was thinking. He just watched and waited for Tobirama Senju to grant him the opportunity to make a wish, to deal with him, or perhaps even the entire Uchiha clan.

Until he heard—

My last wish is————

"—Resurrect Uchiha Izuna."

Madara Uchiha: "!!!"

What?!

Madara Uchiha was lost in his own thoughts until several seconds after Tobirama Senju finished speaking his wish, at which point he suddenly snapped back to reality, almost unable to believe his ears.

Revive Izuna?!

It wasn't Hashirama who was resurrected?!

Taking advantage of the brief moment before the barrage of comments could respond, he suppressed the surging joy deep within him, unwilling to reveal his anticipation and longing for this wish to Tobirama Senju.

With a deliberately stern expression, Madara Uchiha's Sharingan flashed with a dangerous light as he questioned Tobirama Senju, whom he had always looked down upon, in a cold and oppressive tone: "You didn't mean to say 'revive Hashirama' but misspoke, did you?"

Of course, this possibility is so small as to be negligible, unless Tobirama Senju has been subjected to an illusion!

However, no one could cast a genjutsu on the Second Hokage of Konoha in front of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Especially when Black Zetsu was foolishly calling for his mother, and Kaguya was looking up at the sky the whole time!

Tobirama Senju did not respond to Madara Uchiha's question, but after a few seconds, the comment section replied, "Understood."

"Immediately resurrected—Uchiha Izuna."

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice filled with undisguised suspicion and sarcasm, "You cunning fellow, what despicable scheme are you plotting now?"

.

'

As the wooden coffin bearing the Uchiha clan crest broke through the ground, Tobirama Senju gazed at it, his voice calm yet carrying a certain resolve: "As the Second Hokage of Konoha, I simply want to try to reverse what those comments in the live stream say—the predetermined ending."

Madara Uchiha had not yet fully grasped the deeper meaning of his words, but the familiar chakra emanating from the coffin had already shaken him to his core!

The coffin lid fell to the ground, and the dust settled.

His beloved younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, reappeared before him after more than a decade!

A vibrant green light, identical to that of the Outer Path's Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, enveloped the resurrected Uchiha Izuna—

Within seconds, the cracks on the impure body visibly faded and disappeared, the decaying shell turned into dust and was blown away by the wind, the newly grown skin regained its vitality, and the powerful beating of the heart in the chest could be clearly heard.

"Izumi, Izuna————"

Hearing his brother's trembling call, Uchiha Izuna slowly opened his eyes, gazing blankly at his brother who looked much more aged than he remembered.

"Brother? There's another room?"

He looked down at his hands in disbelief, the chakra surging through his body and the powerful, real beating of his chest so vividly present.

"I should be dead already—"

"Something happened, and I resurrected you." While briefly explaining the situation, Tobirama Senju emphasized the subject—"it was I" who resurrected you.

However, Izuna Uchiha didn't care who resurrected him; he was more concerned about Tobirama's self-proclaimed identity.

"This old man?"

The Second Hokage, Tobirama, coughed to cover his embarrassment and changed his self-reference back to "I" when addressing Izuna Uchiha, who was of the same generation.

"I am the Second Hokage of Konoha, and I am over forty years old, so there's nothing wrong with calling myself 'this old man'."

"The age of forty?"

Uchiha Izuna looked around. The house looked like a Senju mansion, so they were obviously on Senju clan territory.

"So you must have a house full of children and grandchildren by now, right?" Uchiha Izuna asked without any malice.

But it just so happens that they brought up the very thing they didn't want to talk about.

Even Madara Uchiha, who was standing next to him, felt a little embarrassed.

How come he didn't know before that Izuna had a bit of a bad side when facing Tobirama?

Tobirama Senju: "————"

"Alright, so why did you revive me?" Uchiha Izuna quickly got to the point. "Do you want to control the Uchiha clan through me? Or are you using my resurrection as leverage to make some rude demands on my brother? It can't be that you miss me, your 'kindred spirit' rival, can it?"

This is also the question that Madara Uchiha wanted to ask.

Unlike Izuna, he knew that at least Tobirama hadn't made any demands on him.

Not yet, at least not at the moment.

"I'd like to know too, Tobirama," he said, "Why didn't you use this opportunity to revive Hashirama?"

Tobirama Senju skipped Izuna's question and answered Madara Uchiha's question first: "My brother was about the same age as me when he passed away. He was past his prime as a ninja, and most importantly, he had no regrets when he passed away."

If I had to say something, my only regret would be that I didn't notice Madara's changes sooner and ended up killing my most important friend with my own hands.

Until his death, his elder brother kept talking about this matter, saying that he wanted to go to the Pure Land to find Madara, shed his family and Hokage identities, and have a proper talk with him.

But how could Tobirama possibly tell Madara something like that?

"So what exactly is your plan to revive Izuna?" Madara Uchiha glared fiercely at Tobirama Senju. If he couldn't get a satisfactory answer from him, he wouldn't allow this timeline to return to its original name—The Death of Tobirama!

As a sensitive sensory ninja, Tobirama Senju naturally noticed Madara's unstable and malevolent chakra.

However, having served as the Second Hokage for many years, he is no longer the hot-tempered man he was when he was the second-in-command of the Senju clan, unable to control his temper when he saw Madara Uchiha.

He simply sighed heavily and shared his thoughts with the Uchiha brothers, who were causing him so much trouble.

"As Izuna said, I do indeed intend to use him to control the Uchiha clan and the biggest trouble within the Uchiha clan, which is you—Uchiha Madara."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Madara's chakra surge became more than twice as ferocious!

Many ninjas in the village felt the powerful pressure of the chakra and quickly gathered outside the Senju clan's territory.

Izuna: "Using me to control the Uchiha! You really dare to say that, Tobirama! Be careful not to be too clever for your own good!"

Instead, I'll use my Sharingan to control you and destroy your most important Senju!

"The Thousand Hands no longer exist."

When faced with Izuna's claim that he wanted to use his Sharingan to control and manipulate the Senju, Tobirama Senju simply responded calmly, "The Senju no longer exists."

Izuna was taken aback, then excitedly asked Madara beside him, "Did my brother defeat Hashirama and absorb the Senju clan?!"

Madara didn't know how to tell his younger brother these things.

Not only did he fail to defeat Hashirama Senju, he also prevented Hashirama's suicide and agreed to the merger of the Senju and Uchiha clans to jointly create Konoha Village.

Later, due to political disagreements with Hashirama, he left Konoha, and not a single Uchiha clan member was willing to follow him.

Knowing that Madara wouldn't go into detail about these things with Izuna, Tobirama Senju simply took over the conversation.

"My elder brother and Madara co-founded Konoha, the village of ninjas. Currently, besides the Uchiha, there are also the Hyuga, Sarutobi, Shimura, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio —"

Before a single surname was mentioned, Izuna's eyes widened even further!

Before he died, the most he could imagine was that the Uchiha and Senju would one day merge.

Unexpectedly, all those families that were previously hostile and wary of each other joined the village established by my brother and Hashirama!

Izuna took a step forward. "Then what do you mean by the Senju being gone? What about the Uchiha?! Are the Uchiha alright?!"

"Shortly after the village was established—" Tobirama Senju explained to him, "In order to lead the ninjas of various clans to abandon the concept of clan and wholeheartedly integrate into the village, treating everyone in the village as their own clansmen and family members, my elder brother ordered the ninjas of the Senju clan to give up their surnames and marry ninjas of other clans or commoners, and the next generation was not allowed to use the Senju name."

Hearing Tobirama's words, Izuna, whose family values ​​were deeply ingrained, was greatly shocked!

"I simply don't know how Hashirama Senju's brain was structured! Did he use Wood Release so much that his brain turned into wood?!"

"Izumi, Izuna—" After all, Hashirama was already dead, and Madara Uchiha believed that Izuna should not say such a thing under any circumstances.

Tobirama Senju didn't care; he knew Izuna and the way Izuna spoke all too well.

Instead of being angry, she recalled the time she had spent fighting against Uchiha Izuna since childhood, and even the corners of her usually downturned mouth curled up slightly into an easily overlooked arc.

But as his arch-rival, Uchiha Izuna would not overlook this.

"What are you laughing at?! That's disgusting."

"It's nothing," Tobirama Senju said. "Tell me about the current situation—"

'

"Because of the sudden appearance of comments in the ninja world, we learned about the future in advance."

"I originally planned to have one of my subordinates, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Third Hokage, and Kagami Uchiha, lead the Uchiha clan to abandon their stubborn clan concepts and integrate into Konoha like other ninja clans. I also planned to have Danzo Shimura, Koharu Tetsuya, Homura Mitokado, and Torifu Akimichi assist them according to their respective areas of expertise."

镜？

Izuna remembered the name, but when he died, Uchiha Kagami was just a child who had just begun ninja training.

Having roughly guessed what "Naruto" meant, Uchiha Izuna turned to Tobirama and asked, "And then?"

"On the one hand, it's highly unlikely that Toki, Koharu, and En will be able to remain in Konoha for a long time—" After a pause, Tobirama Senju looked at Homura Mitokado, who had been thrown to the ground by Madara Uchiha, and changed his words, "Even if they were to remain in Konoha, they probably wouldn't be able to carry out their missions properly, and their actions wouldn't be entirely autonomous."

Izuna also noticed that the guy with glasses was lying at his brother's feet, covered in injuries.

"So what exactly do you want?" Uchiha Izuna asked.

Madara Uchiha, standing to the side, also frowned, wondering what Tobirama Senju's intentions were in saying those words earlier.

"Madara is actually older than me, while you're still the same age you were when you died, only twenty-four, right?" Tobirama Senju gazed at the young Izuna Uchiha and said with certainty, "And after your resurrection, the Sharingan and ocular power you gave Madara have returned, haven't they?"

His tone was so certain that before Uchiha Izuna could press him for further explanation, he didn't say anything.

Tobirama Senju said bluntly, "You should become the Third Hokage, Izuna."
