Chapter 160 Hashirama and Madara, brothers from the Country of Waves reunite.
Time is a long river that never looks back. It flows forward courageously.
The Nanga River passes through Konoha, passes through the Uchiha clan, and originates from Nanga Shrine. Whether in the original work or now, it records the changes and development of the entire ninja world.
It was different from the last time when they had a fight just after they met.
This time, under the deliberate guidance of Senju Hashirama, and under the premise that Uchiha Madara knew that the other party was guiding but did not resist, the two came to this familiar river one after another.
Although after years of changes, there are no traces of the Warring States period here, and the river is not as wide as it was back then, the people around me have still not changed.
"Do you remember what we said here?"
There is no real competition with Madara about who can pee farther. Adults still have to behave like adults. After all, Hashirama is also a grandfather, so he still knows what to do and what not to do.
I brought Madara here just because I wanted to have a friendly chat with this old friend.
"Konoha."
Uchiha Madara's tone was leisurely, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. At that time, they were enjoying the future and wanted to rely on their own strength to protect their clansmen and their loved ones from being troubled by the war.
They succeeded, but also failed. Facts have proved that human beings are selfish animals. Those who are selfless like Hashirama and can truly consider others and understand others are aliens.
Uchiha Madara had also tried to trust others and understand others, but he failed in the end. Just when he heard Hashirama and his brother arguing fiercely about the position of Hokage outside the window, his stupid brother repeatedly emphasized that Hashirama should Being the Hokage is something that everyone agrees with, but if he is Uchiha Madara, no one will be satisfied.
It was then that he knew how ridiculous Hashirama's philosophy was.
"We all failed."
Senju Hashirama smiled to himself. He understood what Madara was thinking. After all, he thought things were too simple. From the fact that the war broke out immediately after his death, he knew that people's ambitions would only become more and more intense. Growth, after all, he is not a real god. It is not easy to change the pattern of the ninja world.
But now, it no longer matters whether the move to establish the Ninja Village was right or wrong.
"But fortunately, my grandson-in-law succeeded!"
As soon as the topic changed, Hashirama suddenly laughed. He lay back with his back on the soil and looked up at the sky. The blue sky and white clouds, the fragrant soil, this is the feeling of being alive, this is the breath of peace.
He likes this kind of ninja world and has new hobbies. There is nothing wrong with contributing to the construction of the ninja world. Maybe one day the ninja world needs his power again, and he will become a ninja again. This is what he thinks.
"Success is also temporary."
Madara crossed his legs and looked at Senju Hashirama inexplicably.
"Everyone makes mistakes. I don't believe that Hyuga and Isei will remain in their current state forever, and I don't believe that Yang Shen Kingdom will always be able to manage the ninja world in an orderly manner. As time goes by, people's ambitions will change under the uneven distribution of resources. Increasingly, especially when there is a problem with Hyuga Risei, how should we solve it then? "
Sure enough, as long as people are alive, true peace cannot be achieved. They must either fight externally or continue fighting within themselves. Madara Uchiha doesn't know what kind of ninja world this kind of world will develop in the future.
"So? What are you going to do?"
Hashirama looked at his old friend with interest.
What to do?
yes
If Hyuga and Makoto couldn't do it, what could he do? Continue to pursue the illusory dream world and let the world fall into sleep?
He is not a fool, nor is he an ignorant person. He is just as desperate for the ninja world as Obito, so he is obsessed with the Infinite Tsukuyomi to this extent, but now he does not need to worry about the Infinite Tsukuyomi. , Black Zetsu has clearly told him that the plan for Infinite Tsukuyomi will be put on the agenda after the Ninja World Competition.
This feeling of no participation made Madara suddenly feel a little bored, and he seemed to understand something.
Why did Hyuga Hinata do that when he knew that Infinite Tsukuyomi was a dream?
After a brief analysis, we can see that there seems to be some hidden secrets and inside stories in the world-wide illusion, so what has he been pursuing all this time?
This feeling of suddenly not wanting to do anything but just want to lie down and be a mess
"You seem to be in over your head again, Madara."
The most valuable thing in life is to have a friend who truly understands you, especially after your loved ones have passed away, this friend can still stay by your side.
Even though Uchiha Madara didn't respond, Hashirama still saw that Madara was confused now.
"We don't actually have to do anything."
Senju Hashirama patted Madara on the shoulder.
"To put the peace of the ninja world and the stability of the world on one's own shoulders, that kind of pressure will make people breathless, and in the end they will fall into madness. We are only human beings, not omnipotent gods. There are It’s not something unspeakable to rely on others.”
After fighting Madara last time, I got news from Madara again. It turned out that this guy had become the captain of the second division of the Yangshen construction site. He also worked voluntarily without asking for compensation. He used the wood he got from him to escape. To build the ninja world, in addition to expanding the territory of the ninja world many times.
From this point alone, Hashirama knew that his friend had not changed from beginning to end. He still yearned for a peaceful world and was still working hard for the future of the ninja world.
So now he is very patient and calmly chatting with Madara about the past and the future.
"But isn't that guy Hyuga Hicheng also himself?"
"You're wrong, Madara."
Without even letting Madara finish, Hashirama shook his head.
"People don't do everything by themselves. Xiao Gang mentioned this to me. My grandson-in-law is very leisurely every day. In addition to formulating the general direction, he occasionally thinks of something and asks the secretarial team to record it. There are professional people below. Conduct research and testing, extending from one stronghold to the entire ninja world."
"The Yang Shen Kingdom now has a complete operating system. I would suggest that you don't need to stick to the construction site. For you, becoming a public servant can actually play a greater role. Are you worried that Hinata and Isei's thoughts will go astray one day? Why not go find a position with that guy and just talk to him if you have any questions in the future."
Hashirama said with emotion.
"That guy is not someone who can't listen to other people's opinions."
The end of the universe is the establishment.
This is not just talk. Senju Hashirama sincerely wishes those who want to take the public examination to come ashore as soon as possible.
"But there is one thing to say. If you really make up your mind, you'd better have a good talk with the leader of Nagato. At least you are the one who gave him pain in the first place. This is a sin you need to pay for."
This is also for the sake of harmony within the system.
Of course, as for whether Nagato will be able to forgive Madara by then, Hashirama cannot guarantee this. After all, neither Madara nor Obito showed mercy at all when they attacked Nagato.
However, this time Hashirama would not open his mouth to let Nagato understand Madara, and would say weird words to make Nagato put down his hatred.
"Let's talk about it then"
Seemingly unable to face that guy Nagato, Madara shook his head and slowly stood up.
"Let's go, it's almost time to rest. I don't know how Izuna Sasuke is doing."
There's really nothing I can do about you.
Hashirama scratched his head helplessly, "Actually, if you miss Izuna, you can continue to perform meritorious service and accumulate points in exchange for a place for resurrection, and resurrect Izuna too."
Resurrect Izuna?
A flash of light flashed in Madara's eyes, but he gave up the idea after just a moment.
how to say?
When a person who has been dead for decades appears in the future world, his first reaction is not joy, but the fear of facing a strange world. He needs to understand and accept this world from the beginning.
If Izuna is still alive
After looking at Hashirama, he thought about Hashirama's bastard brother, and then thought about the current Uchiha.
He knew his brother.
Forget it, let’s talk about this later.
"This is not what he wanted."
Turning around and waving, Madara only left Hashirama with his back.
After reminiscing about old times, I felt a little worried.
And at the same time.
On the tree-lined path of the Land of Fire.
Team 7 led by Kakashi was on his way leisurely.
"Before the establishment of Yang Shen Kingdom, the Country of Waves was an autistic island country with a poor economy and poor people. There was only one bridge connecting the entire country to the outside world."
"And that country did not have its own ninja village. Instead, it was occupied by rebel ninjas from various ninja villages. It was relatively chaotic. This situation only changed after they joined the Yangshen Ally. The economic conditions also changed due to The surrounding sea areas are getting better.”
On the way forward, Kakashi, as the leader of the team, shared information about the mission.
"But the most famous person in their country is the main target of this mission, the bridge-building master Dazna. Yang Shen Kingdom attaches great importance to such talents, and also has support from the project. It will be based on the prototype given by the architect. Design architectural ninjutsu and let them participate in the discussion of ninjutsu.”
With the development of the world, ninjutsu must also keep pace with the times. In fact, to a certain extent, with the support of scientists who have scientific ninja tools, it may not be impossible to develop techniques similar to the wooden escape three rooms and one hall. The results are even better than Hashirama's, and the data is more suitable.
"But generally, that kind of bridge-building master will not be the target of some people."
After looking at the three team members around him, Kakashi said with a cryptic look.
He was reminding his team members in disguise, telling them that this mission was not simple.
Although Tatsuna is considered a talent, he does not attract too many people's attention, and there are many architects in the ninja world. The loss of contact with the target this time and the unusual behavior of the Kingdom of Waves make it look like a conspiracy no matter how you look at it.
"Kakashi-sensei, are missions of unknown levels always so exciting?"
A few years have passed, and the once violent girl has grown up, but this time his eyes have not stayed on Sasuke, but have been watching Sasuke's father, and he has already decided to participate in the subsequent Konoha maid selection in order to enter the Yangtze River. The maid team under the crown of God are working hard towards their goal.
"It's just an example, but it's not lower than B level. The probability of encountering a ninja is infinitely close to 100%."
Kakashi explained patiently.
Destiny is a bit elusive. In fact, due to the departure of the Hyuga clan, the Twelve Konoha heroes in the original work fell apart. It was also because of the previous discussions at the Ninja World Conference that the following people had different opinions on the reform plan for a three-person team. It has been submitted. I believe that teams of three will become a thing of the past soon, and team allocation will be more scientific by then.
After all, no matter how you look at it, a clown will appear in a team of three, which is not very humane, especially the allocation of two men and one woman, which invisibly puts competition pressure on the two male team members, which will only affect the performance of the task. There is really no need to keep this tradition of giving counter-effects in the process.
Therefore, Kakashi's team can be said to be the last traditional grouping in Konoha.
"I can't wait any longer."
Next to him, Naruto clenched his fist and his face flashed with excitement. However, while he was excited, he secretly glanced at Sakura. Some of the boy's thoughts were already revealed, and Kakashi looked helpless.
no way.
He can teach Naruto how to be a dignified person correctly, and he can teach him to use fists to fight back when he is bullied by others, so that he can understand that dignity does not depend on others' understanding, but is achieved with fists. Let him never be called a demon fox kid again under his own education.
But when it came to matters like personal relationships, he was still single for so many years and could only practice handicrafts by watching people making out in heaven in the middle of the night. He was not qualified to educate Naruto.
So before the formation of Team 7, he strangely discovered that the statement that a clown must appear in a group of three, which had been discussed in a meeting, actually appeared in his team.
It can only be said that even without the influence of Asura, some emotions cannot be changed.
But fortunately, unlike the original Sakura, who would always use Naruto's feelings to ask him to do something, intentionally or unintentionally, Sakura in this time and space has agreed with Ino and senior Tenten to participate in the maid service at that time. Selection, so when Naruto showed signs of this, he told Naruto righteously that he was not interested in him, and only Sasuke's father was in his heart.
But he couldn't stand it. Naruto, as the protagonist in the original work, had no other advantages. He had to be strong-willed. He didn't continue to pester Sakura after she rejected him. He just silently prayed that Sakura would fail in the maid selection.
He planned to transform into a warm man to appease the other party, but little did he know that the so-called warm men were still ranked behind the licking dogs. Sakura, Ino and the others had agreed to participate in the maid selection until they were thirty-five years old. If they failed in the end, they would We will grow old alone together.
So the clown in the team seems to have been doomed from the beginning, which makes Kakashi have to admire Yang Shenxia's foresight. If this kind of three-person grouping of two men and one woman is not ended, there will be many more in each session. Clowns and dog lickers, what should the ninja world do if things continue like this?
This thing is like the technicians have gone to live broadcast, and no one has returned to the real economy. What will the bathing center do? What should single people do? It’s all metaphysics here.
However, Kakashi believes that Minato-sensei's child will wake up and grow from this incident and become an excellent ninja.
Well. As for Sasuke
This guy is unexpectedly sensible. Especially after Sakura made it clear that she would participate in the maid selection, his attitude towards Sakura became even more respectful. If Sakura hadn't said that everyone could go their separate ways, I'm afraid Sasuke would have added a little girl on the spot. Mom, come out.
But overall, although the atmosphere in Class 7 is a little weird now, it is still passable. Naruto raised topics from time to time along the way, but Sakura just studied the maid textbook seriously and occasionally responded with a few words, while Sasuke He was guarding the surroundings with a serious expression and did not participate in their conversation at all. He seemed to take this mission very seriously.
Finally, after a peaceful journey, they crossed the bridge leading to the Country of Waves and arrived within the Country of Waves. The leisurely travel time was over, and next came the exciting task.
As Sasuke, who had shielded his little mother's aura and opened his eyes, shouted low, the group of four instantly changed their formation and became alert.
Originally Team 7 did not have the ability to investigate, but because of the powerful stimulation his brother once brought him, Sasuke successfully opened a special Byakugan on the night of the genocide, making up for this shortcoming, while Naruto Relying on the recovery power of the Nine-Tails Chakra and the originally durable attributes of the Uzumaki clan, he acted as a human shield from the front.
Sakura has already taken out her gloves and put them on, ready to use her strange power to deliver a fatal blow at any time. As a leader in the theory class of the ninja school, she has both the talent of a medical ninja and the attribute of strength monster. It can be regarded as the mutated physique of the Haruno family, and she has also I was lucky enough to be taught by Tsunade herself at the ninja school.
However, compared to the original work, where Sakura is given a free pass from beginning to end, Sakura has already understood the gap between ordinary ninjas and the blood-succession limited ninja clan through systematic study, and will not choose to force herself.
Gua~
Gua~
The dark crows fled in all directions, but their unpleasant cries made Sasuke next to him slightly stunned. Then when the crows gathered together, a figure slowly appeared in front of him. The familiar and unfamiliar figure made Sasuke open his mouth involuntarily, but the next second With a burst of warmth from the mark on his forehead, the surrounding scene instantly shattered.
It’s an illusion again!
My stupid brother never seemed to know how to say hello any other way.
The Sun God Seal exuded gentle power, and Sasuke clenched his fist with one hand and shouted. The next moment, Naruto and Sakura, who were trapped in the genjutsu, also woke up from the scream.
Kakashi, on the other hand, did not need Sasuke's help and was not even affected. Instead, he turned back to look behind him.
I don’t know what time it was, but a familiar person also appeared there.
The fateful showdown comes again.
Kakashi had already raised his forehead protector involuntarily, staring coldly at Obito who had fallen into the darkness, while Naruto and the other three also looked at Uchiha Itachi.
"My stupid brother."
Sasuke took a deep breath and looked at Itachi with a slightly complicated look.
And Itachi looked at Sasuke with a bitter look.
He never expected that after clearly passing the information to the village, Konoha would send someone over to investigate, and the person sent was his brother!
That’s outrageous!
What made him even more uncomfortable was that he wanted to pass information to Kakashi and the others through genjutsu, but the genjutsu was lifted by his excellent brother before he could even speak.
What should we do now?
Obito was nearby, and Itachi, who had seen Obito's strength, was in a dilemma.
And just as he was speaking, his excellent younger brother who had ruined his affairs also tortured his soul.
"My stupid brother, how far have your eyes looked so far?"
The figure moved like the wind, and when the dazed Itachi came back to his senses, Sasuke had already appeared in front of him, raised a fist that was enough to knock out Susanoo and hit him hard.
This distance should be able to be avoided by using teleportation, right?
However, why do I suddenly feel a little tired for no reason?
In the end, even if he was undercover, nothing seemed to have changed, and there was no special meaning in doing so. It was as if all the decisions he made were wrong.
This awkward thought made Itachi suddenly lower his raised fingers.
It seems that falling under Sasuke's fist like this is not something that cannot be accepted?
The fists are getting closer.
But the next moment, what puzzled Itachi was that the scorching blast of flames slammed hard against his side.
Boom!
Bang bang bang bang!
Accompanied by a muffled sound and angry shouts, the sound of fists and feet clashing came from behind. Suddenly looking back, Sasuke had already started fighting with a tall man over two meters tall, with a strange appearance and a horn on his forehead.
This punch wasn't aimed at him?
And that person... isn't that the servant of the person who calls himself Otsutsuki and calls them untouchables?
Why is he here?
besides
For a moment, Weasel's frustration arose spontaneously.
Judging from the calm and expected expression on his younger brother's face, it seems that he...
He didn’t regard his brother as an opponent at all!
Think about the sentence "How far can your eyes see now?"!
This is really ironic.
