Chapter 699
["Why? Are you curious about who his brothers are? Unfortunately, apart from Uchiha Izuna, who is relatively famous, I have never heard of the others."]
["No, I am curious about how they can advance to the Eternal Mangekyō if all five of them have Mangekyō. They cannot pair up!"]
["Damn! Are you obsessive? Why do you care about this kind of thing!"]
["Uchiha Madara's method of stopping the war is quite radical. Why did he go from hostile relations to the level of being honest with each other all of a sudden? What is the process in between?"]
["It is because he has always held this idea of solving the problem once and for all that he Would you come up with a crazy plan like Infinite Tsukuyomi!"]
["You haven't done it yet, don't jump to the conclusion that it can't be done! Learn from Naruto, didn't he open up to the tailed beasts even when no one was optimistic about him!"]
["Let me say here, getting along with the tailed beasts may be much easier than getting along with humans. After all, humans are the most complicated creatures in the world, and it is impossible for them to be honest with each other under normal circumstances."]
['There is actually another silly kid who wants to change this war-torn era besides me. In addition to being surprised, I think that Madara is a revelation from God.']
['Since then, we have met often, without telling each other our surnames, and have been learning ninja skills and discussing topics about the future.']
[Accompanied by the voice of the first generation, the scenes of the two boys interacting and learning from each other flashed one after another. Overall, Madara's strength is slightly inferior, but he has made up for this gap with his varied means. 】
【As for the discussion about the future, the two who could not see the way forward for the time being were not discouraged, because they both knew that they had to gain enough strength to be qualified to decide the future. They had to overcome each other's weaknesses in the process of growing up, such as not being able to pee when someone stood behind them and being depressed at any time. 】
["It is both lucky and unfortunate to meet such an opponent. They are destined to be entangled for a lifetime."]
["The most important thing is to be evenly matched. If one side can crush the other, perhaps those things in the future will not happen!"]
["Hehe, even each other's weaknesses are so abstract. Think about the first generation of Hokage who is still prone to depression after growing up. Maybe the grown-up Uchiha Madara still can't accept that someone can stand behind him."]
【On this day, the two had a rock climbing competition. After the competition, the two sat on the edge of the cliff and looked at the forest below. While chatting, they suddenly compared their eyesight, so that Madara almost let slip and exposed his Sharingan. 】
【Although Madara fooled the situation at the first time, this incident still brought back his sad past. Madara could not forgive himself for not taking good care of his brother. Hashirama felt the same way and asked, "Are all your brothers gone?"】
【"No, there is another brother." Madara clenched his fists and said firmly, "No matter what happens, I will protect this brother."】
【Hearing this, Hashirama smiled lightly, then suddenly raised his hands and said excitedly, "It's decided, let's build a village that belongs to us here! In this village, children don't have to fight each other, and build a school Train them, let them grow up and become stronger, everyone can choose tasks according to their personal abilities, and the task levels must be reasonably distinguished. In this village, there is no need to send children to the battlefield to fight for their lives! "】
【"Heh, you are the only one who would say such stupid things." Madara subconsciously mocked, but Hashirama didn't care and asked: "What do you think?"】
【"...Well, it's really good to think about it. If I build such a village, I can protect my brother in this place where I can see everything!" Madara said with his heart. Hashirama, who got the approval, couldn't help but smile excitedly, and Madara also grinned.】
【'That place is the place that will become Konoha Village later. At that time, I made up my mind to endure and work hard to see such a future.' The voice of the first generation sounded, bringing an end to the conversation between the two. 】
["When I heard the tone in which Uchiha Madara mentioned his brother, I knew that things would not turn out well. The more resolute his attitude is now, the more he will be upset when he cannot protect his brother later."]
["According to the theory of the Second Hokage, the more Uchiha Madara loses, the stronger he will be, but his personality will also become more extreme. In this situation, it would be hard to expect him not to go crazy."]
["The prototype of the ninja village system was proposed at this time. I thought we had to wait until the First Hokage grew up a little bit."]
["It feels a bit ironic to listen to his description now. He did achieve the other points, but onlyThe matter of sending children to the battlefield alone has never changed from the beginning to the end!"]
["Although the first generation of Hokage is called the God of Ninja, he is only a powerful human being after all. Limited by the times and cognition, it is good enough for him to come up with such an idea. Do you really think he can predict everything and do everything?"]
["Although it is still inevitable to send children to the battlefield, it is already better than the situation of all people as soldiers in the Warring States Period. What we descendants can do is to move forward step by step towards this goal. If you want to achieve it overnight, what is the difference between you and Uchiha Madara?"]
["Tsk, that Uchiha Madara, he is obsessed with his younger brother, the contrast is really big."]
["The wonderful relationship between the Uchiha brothers, it is really difficult for others to understand their obsession with brothers. ”]
‘Obsession? Isn’t it natural for an elder brother to protect his younger brother? But... I can’t even do this simplest thing. What’s the point of my determination at that time...’
Uchiha Madara’s face was gloomy. The memories of the first generation brought back those past events that he didn’t want to remember. Coupled with the strong suspicion of the Infinite Tsukuyomi at the moment, a thick shadow was cast over Uchiha Madara’s heart.
Senju Hashirama also showed a somewhat depressed expression. Although the barrage had given a reasonable explanation for his actions, the fact was that he did not achieve the goal of preventing children from going to the battlefield, and the ninja world did produce many tragedies because of the emergence of the ninja village system.
However, compared to Uchiha Madara who could not get out of the haze, Senju Hashirama, who believed in the idea of "trusting future generations and leaving future matters to future generations", had a much easier time to recover his mood.
‘When we are alive, we can decide the direction of the future, but since we are all dead, we should not disturb the development of the present world. I hope you can understand this as soon as possible, Madara...’
