Senju Hashirama was very excited and full of expectations. He even called out to his younger brother and close friends to play together.
But when he turned around, his attention was drawn to the blind boxes and capsule toys on the boat.
That Ninja Survival thing is certainly interesting, but it’s right at hand.
There are so many things placed here, waiting for people to play with them - how pitiful they will be if no one plays with them.
After figuring it out, Hashirama Senju took the token given to him by Ugetsu and perfectly integrated into the crowd of teenagers.
And soon he became a core figure among them by virtue of his status as a sucker, his lavish spending lavishly, and his good temper of becoming more courageous despite setbacks.
As for the reason...
Although it is indeed difficult for people to resist the charm of lottery, watching others play lottery is also a kind of fun.
Especially when the player's expressions and body movements are extremely rich, and every success and failure is particularly genuine.
Many people even stopped playing themselves and just followed him and encouraged him to play this and that.
“Of course I have to come to the blind box first!”
"Gachapon machine! Gachapon machine is really amazing!"
The two sides may even quarrel.
Seeing the onlookers arguing because of him, Senju Hashirama was at a loss for a moment, but he quickly thought of a way to appease them.
Anyway, it doesn't matter which one you play, so of course we'll come and play them all.
However, before he could open his mouth, a young man stood up.
"Of course, we're going to play heaven and hell!"
"Heaven and hell?"
His speech attracted the attention of people around him.
"Yes, it's that new gashapon machine."
"In addition to the regular prizes, third and fourth prize tickets can also be accumulated to exchange for resurrection rewards, and there are also grand prizes in the resurrection rewards!"
As he spoke, he pointed to a machine not far away that looked very powerful.
Although it is essentially a regular cabinet-type capsule machine, its paint has been changed to two colors split by a lightning bolt in the middle.
On one side is the golden 'heaven', on the other side is the black 'hell' - the contrast is very obvious.
“Although the prizes for the third and fourth prizes are slightly inferior, after all, three third-prize tickets or five fourth-prize tickets can be exchanged a chance to win a resurrection prize. As long as you win, it’s a huge profit!”
The boy introduced this with a strange sense of pride.
Taishin machine.
He looks like he is enjoying it very much - but you ask him why he doesn't go and play by himself.
That was of course because he had already used up all his pocket money for the past two months, and now he could only stare at the computer in a daze with regret.
Now that there is such a person who looks like he has a lot of money, of course he will encourage others to have fun and satisfy his own visual desire.
And Senju Hashirama did not disappoint his hopes. Before the boy finished speaking, he walked to the machine and started stuffing tokens into it one by one.
Having spent some time in the gaming area, he certainly knew how to operate the gashapon machine.
After throwing all the tokens, I immediately started turning the button on the gashapon machine, and then watched the 'eggs' roll out of the hole of the gashapon machine.
Next, of course, is the exciting prize drawing time.
Senju Hashirama rubbed his hands excitedly and attacked those 'eggs'.
The result is, of course, black as expected.
But Senju Hashirama will not feel discouraged by this - after all, he lost much more miserably in the past than now.
In comparison, this model where you will definitely win a prize as long as you draw the machine can be considered conscientious.
Not to mention the chance for a 'Resurrection Reward'.
Double the fun! Double the money!
This is what a gambler’s brain is like. His mind is full of thoughts about what will happen if he wins, but he never thinks about what will happen if he loses.
Of course, it may also be that he has become accustomed to losing money, so he doesn't care anymore.
Facing his elder brother's embarrassing appearance, Senju Tobirama had only one thought in his mind -
Fortunately, they were all disguised, and fortunately, no one among the tourists present knew that he was Senju Hashirama.
Otherwise, your integrity will be ruined even after your death.
Fortunately, the cruise ship was heading towards the port island of Ocean Star. No matter how much Hashirama Senju loved to play, his time was limited.
After arriving at the destination, he obediently followed others to get off the boat and prepare to transfer.
"Are we going to the bottom of the sea?"
He asked curiously as he looked further and further down.
"Yes, but not entirely."
Yu Yue walked in front to lead the way.
After all, they are honored guests, so there should be a VIP route...
“Ah, here we are.”
Seeing the red-haired young man in front, Yu Yue knew they had arrived.
“
Go this way. "
The scorpion that was waiting in front pointed to the path next to it.
"You can get to the cab from here."
For these three special guests, today's driver will be the builder of the Ocean Star.
Although the matter of Impure World Reincarnation is no secret among high-ranking ninjas, it is not something that can be publicized.
So it is better for someone who already knows the situation to be responsible.
Led by Scorpion of the Red Sand, several people came to the driver's room which was not usually visible from the guest passage.
Although you can also enjoy the excellent scenery under the sea from the windows on both sides.
But the cockpit at the front can provide a completely different perspective from the cabin.
Right in front of you, it’s like you’re about to rush out and merge into the ocean from a ‘first person’s perspective’.
Whether it is the oncoming school of fish or the corals that seem like they will hit you in the next second.
——This is also the 'gift' that Yu Yue carefully prepared for the three of them.
Of course, you can’t see it while you’re still in the dock.
But this kind of underwater transportation is already an eye-opener for everyone.
In fact, when it comes to battles at sea, the three of them are no strangers.
After all, they fought against the ninjas from the Water Country many times during the Warring States Period.
But there has never been a vehicle like this operating under the sea.
"Is this also... a project of the Ugetsu Store?"
Senju Tobirama touched the wall of the cab.
"Yes, the ocean limited edition of Yuyue Store." Yuyue nodded, "In addition, there is also the Desert Star of the Wind Country. You can also experience it when you go back to the Wind Country."
"Then you must go!"
The curious baby Senju Hashirama agreed immediately.
After returning from the moon, I saw things that I had never seen or heard of before.
And each one is so special and so different.
——However, the real shock came after the Ocean Star sailed into the ocean.
The carefully adjusted lights were turned on, revealing the world beneath the sea.
Whether it is the schools of fish swimming towards the Sea Star, or the huge monster passing by slowly.
The world beneath the sea, which was once mysterious and unknown to mankind, is now displayed so clearly and so closely in people's vision.
“
……Wow."
Senju Hashirama couldn't help but make a sound.
However, this time, Senju Tobirama did not comment on his elder brother's behavior.
Because he was also completely focused on everything that was unfolding before his eyes.
If the scenery on the ship is an open and pleasant world.
Then under the ocean, it is like a huge blue gem.
Every change of light presents a completely different view.
They are both blue, but the different shades can give people completely different feelings.
To be honest, even Senju Tobirama had to admit defeat this time.
The ocean, the desert...they were all extremely dangerous places for people in the past.
Every time you travel, you must be prepared to face various natural crises and be prepared to never come back.
But now, they have all become 'beauty' that everyone can enjoy.
Even I couldn't help but be moved.
While Senju Tobirama was sighing, Uchiha Madara was also looking at the ocean outside the window through the peeling.
He just stood there quietly, not saying a word and with no change in expression, making it impossible to read his emotions.
At this moment, what exactly he is thinking...I'm afraid only he himself knows.
"In fact, we also plan to build an underwater sightseeing tunnel."
Just as the three of them were staring at the ocean scenery in a trance, Yu Yue spoke intentionally or unintentionally.
"This way, people can enjoy the beauty of the ocean in less time and at a lower price."
Yu Yue briefly introduced the concepts of the ocean tunnel and underwater restaurant.
Because this was an unprecedented idea, as soon as this topic was brought up, it once again caused Hashirama Senju to be amazed.
“That’s great!”
He even asked impatiently:
"So can we see it before we leave?"
After being busy on the moon for a while, he had long been accustomed to the ninja-like speed at which anything could be built from scratch on the moon.
I can’t wait to hear it today and see it tomorrow.
However, what greeted him was Ugetsu's move to head.
"I'm sorry, this is just a concept right now."
"Isn't this already well thought out and complete?"
Facilities, functions, construction drawings... aren't these basically all ready?
How can it still only be a concept?
“Because the technology is not up to the task yet.”
"To support a building under the sea, you need materials of considerable strength."
After all, it is a building under the sea. If something happens to it, it will be difficult to save it.
“Technology…”
Senju Hashirama touched his chin.
"My Wood Release can hold up."
He still had some confidence in the strength of his Wood Release.
As long as there is no one using Susanoo to chop us, we should be able to hold out for a while even if there is an earthquake or tsunami.
But Wood Release is made of wood after all. It can support the structure but it cannot show the beautiful scenery.
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to his younger brother.
"Tobirama..."
He rubbed his hands.
"You see, such a good plan must be implemented."
If we want to implement it, we have to achieve a breakthrough in materials... Isn’t a breakthrough in materials a breakthrough in research?
This is your specialty, Tobirama!
Senju Tobirama, who received the message from his elder brother: ...I'm really not surprised at all.
However, Senju Tobirama doesn't mind helping.
On the one hand, they had been under Ugetsu's care all this time - as a senior, he was already uncomfortable causing trouble for the juniors.
On the other hand.
He himself also wanted to see the birth of this "undersea tunnel".
Although it was created by the hands of ninjas, it allows more people to see the beauty that was previously unimaginable.
It is not a place that brings death and sorrow, nor is it intended to kill anyone, but a place that can make more people laugh.
Senju Tobirama wanted to leave such a trace in this brief resurrection.
However, when he thought this, Scorpion, the chief architectural consultant of Yuyue Store, did not give him any face.
"Let's not talk about the ninjutsu aspect, but the material and structural technology aspect."
While driving, he glanced at Senju Tobirama leisurely.
"It would be faster if we did it ourselves."
Although there wasn't a single word of doubt in his words, it was clear from the moment he said it that he didn't trust her.
Senju Tobirama slowly typed a question mark.
Then, for the first time, he looked so seriously at the red-haired young driver in front of him.
This red
Hair, and this chakra...
"The puppeteer of the Sand Village?"
If that's the case, no wonder he has that tone.
But young people are still too arrogant.
When he was doing his research, this kid was probably not even born yet.
“Research capabilities are not limited to a single project.”
He snorted coldly.
"That's just an excuse that people with insufficient strength make for themselves."
You can question my character, but you cannot question my scientific research ability.jpg
Scorpion shrugged.
Maybe all old guys have the same stubbornness.
Thinking of the old guy in his family who never gave up, Scorpion was too lazy to argue with him.
Anyway, we'll know whether it works or not when the time comes.
When it comes to research, you can't really do well just by saying it.
He wanted to see how capable Tobirama Senju, the most talented ninja in the legend, was.
When their eyes met, lightning and sparks flew.
…But for Ugetsu, competition is always a good thing.
Especially two equally talented people.
The slightest spark generated by their collision was enough for her to have one more bite.
So the more collisions, the better.
And this is actually a good thing for Scorpio.
Although there is no shortage of smart people in this world, those who are both smart and have excellent scientific research capabilities are extremely rare.
Especially in the past when wars were frequent, even if a weak person had talent in this area, it would be difficult for him to continue to move forward in this direction.
Just like Scorpio, it was only after he started placing orders that he discovered his various talents.
Although it is a good thing to discover a top talent and make him realize in which direction he can truly shine.
But on the other hand, because there is only one such talent and there is a lack of competitiveness, it would be a bit difficult to go further and stimulate more motivation.
Although Mr. Orochimaru is equally talented, there is not much overlap in the areas in which they are good at.
So even if there is competition, it is not much.
It is not enough to create enough pressure to force the opponent to rack their brains to deal with it.
Ugetsu nodded in satisfaction as he flipped through Kakuzu's recent report before continuing reading.
The two people who had created tension were both action-oriented, so before they even got off the Ocean Star, they had already started discussing the project and agreed to hold a closed-door meeting at another day with all the materials.
He had to let that old guy/youngster know how powerful he was!
Looking at the two people who were creating a tense atmosphere, Senju Hashirama was touched.
He also said to Uchiha Madara next to him:
"Madara, look how happy Tobirama is."
He hadn't seen Tobirama so motivated in a long time!
Uchiha Madara: "..."
Even if it was me, I couldn't say with a clear conscience that that expression was 'happy'.
The journey of Ocean Star came to an end amidst the tension between two research ninjas.
After a short stay, they started sightseeing at the Sea Park.
Compared with other places, the entertainment level of the Sea Park has once again reached a new level.
Everywhere you can see friends and family playing in groups.
Because the Sea Park later established a special children's area, which can free up parents' time and experience, the number of family tourists coming here has increased rapidly.
——Although your own children are cute, taking care of them does require a lot of time and energy.
Parents also need some liberation.
Speaking of this, we have to mention another special feature of the Sea Park.
That is, compared to other places, the number of ninja staff in Sea Park is beyond imagination.
No matter which direction you look, you can see at least one ninja staff member.
Under such circumstances, there is naturally no need to worry about safety.
The tourists feel at ease and the ninjas are happy - who doesn't like a job that pays well, has little work and is close to home?
After all, most ninjas with average talents are just like everyone else. Their life goals are to make money, support their families, and protect their villages.
As for those spectacular wars or major events…it would be a lie to say that they are not moved at all.
After all, who doesn’t want to be a hero, the brightest kid in the village?
But most of the time, they still live their ordinary lives in an orderly manner.
Earning an ordinary mission fee.
——It is already a dream to be able to earn money safely and then go home safely to reunite with my loved ones.
It's what you want.
Therefore, the Mist Village ninjas who work here care for this sea paradise as if it were their own village and do their best for it.
Of course, there are also many "working ninjas" from other villages.
But like the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village, they also cherish this job that pays well, requires little work and is safe.
In addition, ninjas from different ninja villages have long been accustomed to working together for Miss Ugetsuki, so the relationship between people is natural and harmonious.
Seeing so many ninjas living in harmony here, the three of them were truly stunned.
If I had said before that I just felt that the lives of the ninjas had changed.
That’s where they realized:
The world today is completely different from what it was back then.
It's not just a change in a certain ninja or a certain ninja village.
But people living in this era have all accepted and adapted to this completely different way of life.
Looking at the rotating ninjas from different ninja villages, they were arm in arm, discussing what to eat and drink later, and preparing some gifts to bring back to their families.
For the first time, the smile disappeared from Hashirama Senju's face.
It wasn't that he was unhappy to see such a scene.
Rather, this was the scene he dreamed of seeing, and even if the price was to grind him to ashes, he would accept it without hesitation and even with a smile.
It's just because it's too dreamy that it loses its sense of reality.
It was a little hard for him to believe... Was all this really not just a dream?
A beautiful dream caused by excessive desire.
Although he didn't say it, as a close friend of many years, it was impossible for Uchiha Madara not to notice it.
——Of course, the most straightforward expression was that there was a pearl oyster betting stall not far away, but Senju Hashirama had no intention of going there at all.
An old gambler actually doesn't want to gamble anymore. This doesn't seem right no matter how you think about it.
"……What's wrong?"
He hesitated for a while, and finally took the initiative to ask.
Unexpectedly, these words seemed to wake the other party up, causing Senju Hashirama to turn his head suddenly and hold down Uchiha Madara's arms.
"Madara! Tell me the truth, has this all been the Infinite Tsukuyomi Technique since the beginning on the moon?"
He asked with a serious expression.
"Actually, when I went to find you, you used the Infinite Tsukuyomi on me?"
Uchiha Madara: "What the hell are you talking about!?"
"And let me go!"
Let’s not talk about the unbecoming pulling and tugging between two grown men - with that kind of strength from Hashirama Senju, his arms were probably going to be pulled off.
Senju Hashirama didn't care about any of this at all, and just continued to hold on to the person stubbornly:
"I don't! Tell me, Madara, is this the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi?"
"Because I longed for peace so much, I had this dream..."
Uchiha Madara also got angry: "Are you sick!!!"
"I've tolerated you for so long!"
It didn’t count when we were on the moon before, but after we came back, you can do whatever you want and say whatever you want.
On the one hand, you shouted, "Let me see the world as it is now, so that I know that Infinite Tsukuyomi is wrong." But now that you have really seen such a peaceful world, you come to question whether this is my Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Uchiha Madara was really pissed off by him.
When Hashirama Senju heard this, he was even more shocked: "What? Madara, you tolerate me?"
This must be the Infinite Moon Reading, then.
Otherwise, how could the living Madara tolerate him!
——So you didn’t take my past concessions and forbearance seriously at all, right?
Uchiha Madara's thread of rationality was in jeopardy.
If they weren't in a crowded place, Uchiha Madara might really take action.
It's really like the dead are about to be brought back to life.
Noticing the changes here, Ocean Star and Senju Tobirama, who were discussing materials with Scorpion, looked over.
He and Uchiha Madara are old enemies, so he naturally understood that the other party was really angry.
I just don’t know what my restless elder brother has done this time.
Probably because there are fewer direct conflicts after death.
Senju Tobirama can also look at the interaction between his elder brother and Uchiha Madara from a more fair perspective.
He still believed that Uchiha Madara was the evil party - even if the other party's goal was peace, he would only use evil means.
But just looking at the interactions between him and his older brother…even if he was the younger brother , he had to admit that it was his older brother who got into trouble and pissed people off more often.
I just don’t know what happened this time.
But no matter what, Uchiha Madara cannot explode here!
No matter how many ninjas there are here, they will be defeated if they meet Uchiha Madara.
So he rushed forward.
"Don't you—"
Before Senju Tobirama could finish his words, he heard another voice ringing out.
"That's right, don't fight here!"
Yu Yue interrupted hurriedly.
"If you want to fight, go to the isolated island where ninjas survive!"
Senju Tobirama: "..."
He really didn't know whether the other party wanted to stop the fight or add fuel to the fire. !
