Chapter 701
【“You are a Senju man. If possible, I don’t want us to have the same ideas, because our brothers died at each other’s hands...” Madara’s words reminded Hashirama of his two dead brothers, and Madara also had the same memories, saying in a cold tone: “So, there is no need for us to be open-hearted. From now on, we will meet on the battlefield. Senju Hashirama, I am... Uchiha Madara!”】
[“Uchiha Madara is not as persistent as the first Hokage. Compared with the pursuit of peace, does he still value his clan members more at this time? If he can persist, maybe he will not embark on the path of infinite moon reading”]
[“Who knows? Anyway, I don’t care about this hypothetical situation, unless Tianmu shows a parallel world with similar development.”]
[“Uchiha Madara is quite honest. He thinks he is not as strong as the first Hokage. Who can expect that he will become the kind of person who doesn’t take everyone seriously in the future.”]
[“This is a complete opposition. The emergence of Konoha is still a long way off.”]
[“Speaking of me There is a question. It is known that only the first Hokage of the Senju clan has demonstrated Wood Release. So without the bloodline limit, how did the other ninjas of the Senju clan manage to be on par with the Uchiha clan? Even if there are not many ninjas in the Uchiha clan who can open the Mangekyō, there should be no shortage of ninjas who can open the three magatama. "]
["You dare to ask such a question! Even without the bloodline limit of Wood Release, the ninjas of the Senju clan are also known for their high chakra. The same moves will be multiplied in the hands of the Senju clan. Yamato, why do you think they can't compete with Uchiha?"]
["You asked the wrong question. It should be said that Uchiha relied on the Sharingan to maintain a situation of equal strength with the Senju clan. It was not the Wood Release that was strong, but the First Hokage. Yamato is the best negative example."]
Yamato: "Why are you using me as an example again? I'm not a ninja from the Senju clan..."
['At that time, I seemed to understand what it meant for Madara's Sharingan to open... He completely erased me, his friend, from his heart.']
['Since then, we have become enemies, fighting day after day. When we came to our senses, we have become the heads of the clan... standing in the farthest place from our original dreams.']
[As the First Hokage narrated, scenes of the two people confronting each other flashed on the sky, from the sword duel in their youth, to the Wood Release and Fire Release in their youth, until they became the heads of their respective clans in their prime. 】
【The war has been going on without a break. The casualties of Senju and Uchiha are getting more and more severe. Finally, on this day, even Uchiha Izuna, the second in command, was not spared and was severely injured by Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Slash, which tilted the balance of victory towards Senju. 】
【"Banara, you can't beat me, stop... Let's end it all..." Facing Madara who was supporting Izuna, Hashirama advised earnestly: "If the strongest Uchiha and Senju in the ninja clan join forces, the countries will no longer find a ninja clan that can fight against us, and in this way, the struggle will gradually disappear."】
【Madara was silent, but the seriously injured Izuna had no intention of giving in, so Madara once again ignored Hashirama's invitation and evacuated with the remaining Uchiha clan members. 】
["Although I know I shouldn't say this, friends are like consumables to Uchiha. You can get the Sharingan by sacrificing friendship, and you can get the Mangekyō by sacrificing the life of a friend. Being a friend of Uchiha is really dangerous."]
["Looking at the growth and changes of the two, did the war last for more than ten years? Several decades?"]
["There is no definite statement at present, but it is generally believed that the Warring States period lasted at least a hundred years."]
["My God, a hundred years! I understand why some people say that this is progress even though the ninja village system has experienced three wars since its implementation."]
["My thoughts are different from yours. When I heard the time of a hundred years, my first reaction was ...These people are really fertile. They didn't die in such a long war."]
["Hehe, they didn't die in the war, but they were exterminated in peacetime. It's a kind of irony."]
["Well! Uchiha Izuna was seriously injured. It seems that this is the turning point of Madara's personality change."]
["The Second Hokage is really strong. Although he doesn't know Wood Release and has Mangekyō, Uchiha Izuna is no match for him."]
["No, Flying Thunder God Slash, isn't this the fourth Hokage's ultimate move?"]
["Cold knowledge, Flying Thunder God and multiple shadow clones and other ninjutsu were invented by the Second Hokage."]
["Is the First Hokage really trying to provoke Uchiha Madara on purpose, directly indicating that the other party is not himself?"]”]
[“There is nothing we can do about it. If we don’t hurt our opponent, he won’t give us a chance to communicate. Just like Naruto needs to defeat his enemy first if he wants to convince him.”]
[“Everything else is fine, but if we seriously hurt Uchiha Izuna, how could Uchiha Madara agree to the proposal of the first Hokage?”]
Senju Hashirama sighed: “If Izuna’s death had been avoided, maybe…”
“Don’t be so naive, big brother! Uchiha Izuna is not like Madara. That guy is a thorough Uchiha. If he hadn’t died, Madara would never have sat down and talked about cooperation with us.” Senju Tobirama said unhappily: “In order to end the war, we have also made great sacrifices. How can we let everything go to waste because of Uchiha Izuna’s influence?”
“I’m not regretting it, I’m just thinking… Never mind. There’s no point in thinking about it now. The key is whether Madara can figure it out. ”
Can Uchiha Madara figure it out?
He can tell everyone clearly that he will never forgive Tobirama Senju who killed his brother. If there is a chance, he must stab the black stick formed by Yin-Yang Release on the other party's forehead and whip the corpse to avenge his brother.
【‘After that, Madara changed. He got the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.’ The voice of the first generation sounded, and new patterns appeared in Madara's eyes.】
【“My brother died because of the previous injuries. In order to protect Uchiha, he left me new power!” Madara stood in front of Hashirama again. Hashirama was helpless about this: “I should have sent you the documents of the armistice agreement. If you want to protect Uchiha, don’t continue this war!”】
【However, at this time, Madara was only full of anger. He had almost lost all his love and had no interest in his ideals in his youth. Susanoo rose from the ground and roared: “Hashirama, how long do you want to be childish! It is impossible to be open-minded and trust each other! ”】
