Hinata scratched her temples with her finger, and her tone was quite serious: "The benefits we will give you include but are not limited to monthly additional allowances. You can apply for any items you need at any time. In addition, you have the following privileges within the village: Complete personal freedom. If you want to find another place to live, of course there is no problem at all. So, do you have any other requirements?"

"Well, I want to ask, if I move from Ms. Hagoromo's house to live outside, will there be ANBU monitoring me?"

Fu tilted her head. During this period of time she lived in Naruto's house, one of the most important things she discovered was that there were no ANBU around the hut. This was simply unbelievable for the jinchūriki.

"Of course, I should also know your importance, and it is natural to impose surveillance."

Hinata's answer to this question was straightforward. This made Fu blink, and then continued to ask: "So, if I still stay at Ms. Hagoromo Fox's house, will there still be surveillance?"

"Of course not. There is no need for extra monitors in that place."

Hinata raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of slyness in Hinata's expression: "So, what's your choice?"

"Well... at least I'd rather stay with someone I'm already familiar with."

Shrugging, Fu more or less understood what Hinata meant. The girl with white eyes nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you are indeed smart and cute."

"Then, go for a physical examination later, and then prepare to get into your new job and... new life."

Madman longing for peace (1)

There are always some people in this world who do not live for themselves, and some people are passively shouldering responsibilities. Before they even understand the world, they are already bound to high-sounding positions by their so-called bloodline and status.

For others, it is because of their own inspired obsessions.

"In the end...what is the truth of this world..."

In front of the quietly burning candle, there was Izumi Uchiha kneeling in front of the rock wall. Compared to how she had been described a few days ago, she now looked haggard. Reading the information left by Madara Uchiha brought her not only the acquisition of information, but also a certain confusion that could not be erased. What she opened in her hand was a roll of notebooks with yellowed paper. Yes, this was what Madara Uchiha left in this world now, as the notebooks of his past.

There is nothing oblique in Uchiha Madara's notes. He just explains everything he has personally experienced in a very straightforward writing style.

As long as I can remember, I have been trained in combat skills by my fathers. As a child, I have been stained with the blood of the battlefield. What is the meaning of such a life? If the nature of a life's existence is to erase the rest of life, is such a life really the correct existence?

Even though he was a genius of the Uchiha clan, Madara never had any expectations for this clan. Because he knows very well that in the final analysis, this tribe is just a deformed existence that relies on its own killing skills to pursue the so-called "prosperity of the tribe" through constant killing and destruction. This kind of ethnic group exists only to kill people and kill people better. Even if it is wiped out by other ethnic groups one day, it is not something to be surprised about.

Yes, it is impossible to obtain the future by fighting and killing alone. Killing means the possibility of being killed, and fighting means the possibility of defeat. Compared with the so-called false reputation of a clan, what Madara values ​​​​more is the possibility of truly giving this clan and even this world a real future.

Well, to achieve this, a necessary prerequisite is: peace.

But unfortunately, even though Madara is an outstanding being among the clan, his concept of peace is not recognized by others. Whether it is his father, Uchiha Tajima, who values ​​the honor of his clan above all else, or his younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, who is proud of Madara, or the most basic Uchiha clan members, they have never considered the so-called 'peace'.

At such a young age, Madara soon realized that he was truly a loner within his own tribe regarding this concept of peace. My father and clan members are keen on seizing everything by force. They just fanatically believe that the Uchiha clan's force is supreme and sufficient to cope with all challenges and disputes. They only focus on the outcome of a war or a clan's struggle at all. Ken looked up and looked at the future besides war.

The anguish of not being understood made Madara increasingly arrogant in his youth. No one would have guessed that in the heart of this young and proud Uchiha ninja, there was a belief that he hoped to lead the clan and the world to peace.

In such depression, by an extremely accidental opportunity, Madara met a strange alien boy. What surprised him was that the other party actually held the same ideals as him, the same ideal of hoping for peace for the ethnic group and even the world.

This boy's name is Senju Hashirama.

In the area at that time, the only powerful ethnic group that could compete with the Uchiha clan was the Senju clan.

Ban was first surprised when his ideal was recognized, and then he had strong doubts and comparisons. Because the peaceful method he chose in his heart relies on strong force and rule to make all ethnic groups and even humans realize that peace is an existence that must be followed.

However, the young man named Senju Hashirama believes that what peace needs most is mutual understanding between various ethnic groups and even people's hearts. Only when everyone can let go of hatred is the real path to peace.

This first argument allowed Madara to finally face his inner desire for peace. Naturally, the two became perhaps each other's first true friends. We have the same desire, and we exchange and summarize each other's opinions for the realization of this desire. We look forward to the day when we can rely on the efforts of both parties to truly create this future called peace.

However, reality is always cruel. The hostility between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan caused the friendship between the two teenagers to undergo severe changes. Under the hostility between the two tribesmen, the two people who yearned for peace had to act against each other. Later, the sacrifice of his younger brother Izuna made Madara extremely sad. At the same time, he inadvertently opened the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan for the first time after obtaining his younger brother's eyes.

Since we can't see the coming of peace, let's take on the clan and the younger brother's obsession to win and show off their cards to the Senju clan. Because Madara also knew very well that the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan who were fighting at that time could still find peace, that is. . . until one of the tribes is completely defeated. Uchiha Madara, who inherited the position of clan leader because of his blood relationship, finally needs to give an explanation to his clan. Then, fight as hard as you can. If he wins by chance, he will realize the wish of his father, brother and all the other clan members. If he loses, at least he won't have to bear the burden anymore. And peace will come because of the surrender of the Uchiha clan.

With this idea, Uchiha Madara launched a challenge to Senju Hashirama, who also became the leader of the Senju clan at that time, to decide the fate of the two clans. Whether it is life or death, he will never let down what he has always carried. .

Madara used all his strength and was the first to display his complete form of Susanoo. His image on the battlefield is undoubtedly the ultimate in combat power that humans can achieve. Even any Uchiha tribesman cannot deny that he The clan leader really tried his best.

However, the result is still unavoidable. Even though Madara became as strong as a ghost after adding the obsession of his father and even his younger brother, Senju Hashirama opposite him also held a belief that was as solid as iron and stone, and obtained it with the more powerful power of wood escape. the final victory. And fortunately, the other party still remembers the friendship between each other. Even after winning, he still sincerely hopes that Madara can regain the ideals they shared when they were young and put aside the disputes and fights between the two clans.

This is really ridiculous... Why does this idiot think that he has forgotten his dream at that time? Using the word "regain" is too contemptuous.

Ridiculing like this in his heart, Madara also maliciously made a request to Senju Hashirama: If he really wants peace, then the enemy who killed Madara's brother, Senju Hashirama's younger brother Senju Tobirama, will be executed. Zi is the peace condition that Madara is willing to accept. Or, let Senju Hashirama commit suicide.

In the eyes of the Senju clan who were the victors at the time, this was undoubtedly a ridiculous and disrespectful approach. The furious Senju Tobirama and his group immediately demanded Madara's death, which only made Madara unsurprising: since he had already If you fail, you might as well let death decide your fate. Anyway, after this, the Uchiha clan will no longer have the power to fight against the Senju clan. After surrender, true peace will naturally come.

However, what surprised Madara, who was already prepared for martyrdom, was that Senju Hashirama actually accepted his conditions. The only difference is that he did not choose to execute his brother, but decided to commit suicide. This choice allowed Madara, who had already accepted failure and death, to finally conclude that everything Senju Hashirama said and all the obsession with the pursuit of peace he revealed were true.

Just like Madara, Hashirama also has the consciousness and belief to abandon his life for peace at any time.

Madara, who confirmed this, was finally moved. He finally understood that he was not alone all along. In places he couldn't see, Hashirama was also struggling for this wish. Supporting Hashirama is actually fulfilling Madara's own beliefs. Moreover, it is undeniable that Hashirama is indeed more powerful than him. Letting a person who also pursues peace and is stronger than himself serve as the benchmark for realizing a common belief is the first time that Madara has discovered the possibility of realizing his wish.

The next thing happened naturally. Madara chose to lead the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan to conclude a peace treaty. The two powerful races united and allowed a large number of competing races around them to see the hope of peace. Sarutobi, Hinata, Nara, Aburame and other ninja groups joined this new huge group one after another. Suddenly, all the powerful ninjas in the entire Fire Country seemed to have gone from chaos and internal fighting to unity and unity in a very short period of time. joint. A village representing this group finally appeared, and that was Konoha, the first village of ninjas.

In Madara's view, the newly born Konoha Village is strong and full of power. It is the time to launch an attack on the other surrounding countries and end this troubled world with absolute power and right to speak. In the eyes of Uchiha Madara, except for Senju Hashirama, all the other ninjas in the world are just ants under Susanoo's feet. Unification is not something untouchable, but a reality that may actually be realized within a few decades at most.

As for the daimyo, there is no need to worry at all. As long as the territory of the Fire Country can be expanded, the daimyo will naturally consider how to support it. After all, as early as the samurai era, the daimyo had been accustomed to war and plunder.

The general trend is something that anyone can see. Due to the strong pressure from Konoha Village, the various ninja races in other countries that were also in dispute have also given up their struggle and followed the example of Konoha Village in establishing one after another. The remaining four large-scale ninja villages were born - Kaze no Sand Hidden, Thunder Cloud Hidden, Earth no Iwagakure, and Mizu no Kirigakure.

The madman who longs for peace (2)

But in Madara's eyes, these so-called 'ninja villages' that were hastily gathered out of fear of Konoha are just poor imitations of Konoha, and their so-called wind shadows, thunder shadows, soil shadows, and water shadows are nothing more than Mu shadows. Monkey-like garbage. For Madara, one person is confident in destroying these wastes that hinder the peace of Konoha. Not to mention the combined strength of all the races in Konoha Village that were in their heyday at that time.

What is even more important to mention is that even the tailed beasts, which were considered epic wild monsters at that time, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama tamed seven of them by himself! Except for the one-tailed Shukaku who was sealed in Sunagakure for the first time, and the Nine-Tails, which was too powerful for Hashirama to easily provoke, the other seven tailed beasts from two to eight have all been picked up by Hashirama. pet. With such fighting power, even if the other four ninja villages combined to fight against Konoha, the result waiting for them would only be a one-sided defeat.

In such a great situation, why not do it? If Madara were the Hokage, he was sure that he would launch a war without hesitation, unify the world with absolute power, and bring about the peace that both he and Hashirama expected.

However, just when Madara was fully expecting Hashirama to issue an order for war, what he received was a puzzling and even disturbing message: Not only did the First Hokage Senju Hashirama not intend to launch an attack while the rest of the Ninja Village was not yet stable, , on the contrary, he surrendered his status and recognized the so-called status of these ninja villages and Konoha. What Madara couldn't understand and accept the most was that in order to express his sincerity, Hashirama even bowed his head and said that he could give the seven tailed beasts he caught to the other four ninja villages as a way to 'balance' the other ninja villages. The sincerity of the village mentality.

This is the so-called first Five Shadows Conference.

Disappointed and angry, Madara refused the invitation to accompany Hashirama to the meeting, which in his eyes was simply unreasonable. It is clear that a war without any suspense is all that is needed to completely end all the conflicts in the world, but why does Hashirama, who also hopes for world peace, turn a blind eye?

Therefore, the person who accompanied Hashirama to the first Five Kage Conference that year became Hashirama's younger brother Senju Tobirama. This person is considered smart in Madara's eyes, but he still did not object to Hashirama's actions, but allowed the other "Four Shadows" who were not worthy of sitting with Hashirama and Madara to get what they wanted from Konoha. Tailed beast.

Could it be that the Senju clan has become weak? Or is Hashirama weak?

This problem made Madara unable to let it go for a long time, so much so that when he met Wu and Two-Sky Scale Onoki on the way who wanted to express friendship to Konoha, he did not accept the friendship, but spit on it severely. These people are weak and humble, thinking that these people who are much weaker than Konoha only need to crawl on the ground and accept rule.

But soon, Madara discovered that perhaps it was not just the Senju clan and Hashirama who were weak. Instead, this new Konoha Village was weakened by its short and false peace.

The first thing to bear the brunt was the war-weariness displayed by the Uchiha clan. Years of war have filled the remaining Uchiha people with dissatisfaction and disgust with war, as well as a desire and greed for peace. They no longer supported Madara's approach of still promoting strength, but turned to indifferent silence.

Madara is a smart ninja, and he easily read the changes in his tribe's attitude toward him, especially when a group of people led by Senju Tobirama tried to attract and divide the Uchiha clan. This made Madara feel the sting and anger of being betrayed deeply.

It was not Hashirama's betrayal of himself, but the betrayal of Konoha Village and the Uchiha clan to his position. The short-term peace made these people forget the fact that as long as there are different groups in the world, war will inevitably come again. It is impossible for He Ping to truly come to Konoha Village. They did not consider the whole world, they just wanted to stay in the relatively safe and peaceful Konoha Village, and then declare world peace with peace of mind, so as to survive in this fragile soap bubble.

Originally, for the arrogant Madara, he didn't care whether the second generation Hokage would be him, just as he didn't care whether the leader of the Uchiha clan at that time would be him. He originally had to bear the reliance and hopes of everyone. The things he wished for. If he were not the eldest son of the Uchiha clan leader at the time, Madara would not have wanted to become the leader of the Uchiha clan.

Since no one wants to become Hokage, Madara does not bother to compete for this position. Apart from his own arrogance, the most important point is that Madara has seen clearly: the birth of Konoha has lost the ability to truly unite and bring peace to the world. opportunity, even if he takes office, he will no longer be able to achieve his goal so easily.
