"We really still need a Miss Ugetsuki."
After the decisive voice, there was a brief silence and... approval.
Indeed, they would not be able to accomplish such a feat on their own.
Although the four people gathered together each had their own thoughts and plans, they more or less reached a consensus on this point.
As for why there are such conversations and speeches.
It all started on a night not long ago.
When dust returns to dust, this is how it should be at the end of every life.
Even if they were once famous and powerful, even if they had experienced such incredible things as being recalled from the kingdom of the dead by forbidden techniques.
However……
In the land of the Senju clan.
This should have been a very ordinary night.
There is no mission that requires the entire clan to be mobilized, and they are not in a state of readiness for war.
It should have been a rare and beautiful night where everyone could relax and recharge their batteries, but soon, people were awakened by a sudden commotion.
...Although this brief disturbance soon ended with the clan leader having a strange dream and harassing his younger brother, the Senju clan returned to peace.
But for many people, this night was a night that they could not calm down for a long time.
At least for the person involved, Hashirama Senju, it was a sleepless night.
"so what?"
Wearing loose pajamas, Tobirama Senju looked at his eldest brother with a gloomy face in the middle of the night who had woken up himself... no, woke up almost one-third of the clan members.
"Are you going to tell me that this has something to do with the Uchiha again?"
Senju Tobirama originally just wanted to make a sarcastic remark.
After all, a strong elder brother would only be like a demon when it comes to Uchiha Madara. He would be all over the place, as if he was bewitched by an illusion.
If someone doesn’t know, they would think you are brothers.
If he didn't go home because his eldest brother behaved normally in the battle with Uchiha, he would really think that he was controlled by Uchiha Madara with the Sharingan.
Otherwise, how could there be a family head who would keep saying that the family head is a "good person" all the time?
Besides, that's Uchiha!
From the strands of hair to the mud on the soles of his shoes, he has nothing to do with being a 'good person'.
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Hashirama Senju, who was sitting opposite him, nodded seriously.
"It really has something to do with Madara."
In fact, this is not very accurate. If we really want to talk about it, it should be said that it is related to the descendants of Uchiha and the power that his descendants hold.
Senju Tobirama: ...?
Are you finally going crazy because of Uchiha Madara?
I was just being sarcastic, but you still nodded???
"Brother."
Senju Tobirama's face suddenly stretched long.
Although he is still a young man, his face looks weathered as if he has experienced the cruelty of reality.
"Do you still remember that you are the leader of the Senju clan? You are no longer a child. You can no longer have wild ideas like you did in the past and just do whatever you want..."
"No!"
Senju Hashirama interrupted his brother.
He said with an extremely serious expression: "This time is different."
Senju Tobirama was not frightened, but became even more angry: "When didn't you say Uchiha Madara was different!?"
“This time it’s really different.”
Senju Hashirama still insisted on his own judgment.
"good."
Senju Tobirama was too lazy to have such a meaningless conversation with him.
He changed his posture and said indifferently:
"Then tell me what's different this time?"
Senju Hashirama approached his brother and said with an extremely serious expression:
"I had a dream."
Senju Tobirama: ...
I believe what you said, but I am afraid I may have been confused during sleep.
...If I believe even one word you say again, all my experiments will fail!
For someone whose hobby is research and development, this is almost the most vicious curse in the world.
However, his voice was not conveyed to the big brother on the other side.
Senju Hashirama just continued to mutter to himself:
“It’s really different. I saw that world.”
His somewhat nervous voice made Senju Tobirama calm down a little.
It’s not that the matter has been revealed, but my eldest brother is the patriarch of the Senju clan. If something really happened, it would be a big problem and big trouble for the Senju clan.
Even though the eldest brother has many problems, his strength and the fact that he is the face of the Senju clan will not change.
If you want to know what the problem is, you have to at least listen to his crazy talk.
"I dreamed that I
They are all dead.”
"No, that's not right. We all died and then came back to life."
"Then we worked for a little girl... Oh, by the way, the technique that allowed us to come back to life after we died was invented by you, Tobirama."
"What's your name...what's it called?"
After all, it was just a dream, and it was so outrageous that even Hashirama Senju took a while to remember the name.
"That's right! Impure World Reincarnation! It means putting the soul into a body made of mud, and then returning to the world."
"Because it's a body made of mud, other than the mud getting all messy, it doesn't hurt or make you tired."
Senju Tobirama: ...It sounds like you have your own ideas.
In order to achieve victory, Senju Tobirama never cared what method he used.
Whether it is the upright "right way" or the despicable "evil way" in people's mouths.
But that doesn't prove anything.
"Then we were summoned back because the Otsutsuki clan on the moon wanted to use the moon to crash down and recreate a new world... Oh, the Otsutsuki clan is the ancestor of ninjas, the descendants of the younger brother of the Six Paths Sage."
Senju Tobirama: Go on, I’ll listen to you!
"Oh yes, before I died, I worked with Madara to build a village. The name of the village was Konoha. Other countries also built villages based on our model."
"Tobirama, you are still the Second Hokage."
Senju Tobirama: "......? Why is the village called Konoha and the leader called Hokage?"
Although he had no idea what kind of village that was, it did not affect his understanding that 'Second Generation Hokage' should mean the second generation leader.
"Shouldn't the village be called Fire Village?"
"Ah, because Madara named it Konoha." Senju Hashirama said as if it was a matter of course. "Where Konoha falls, fire will also continue. It's quite romantic, isn't it?"
Romance...bullshit!
How come you can’t separate yourself from that guy even in your dreams?
Senju Tobirama felt that he couldn't continue talking like this.
Even if his brother's dream was outrageous but somewhat reliable, and provided him with some new inspiration... that wouldn't work!
It’s Guan Uchiha, it’s just not possible!
Senju Tobirama originally thought that this matter would just pass - after all, it was just a dream. He believed that his elder brother would naturally calm down after he came to his senses and realized that such a thing could not happen in reality.
Just like every time in the past.
The life of a ninja is cruel and realistic.
However, he never expected that Hashirama Senju was serious this time.
It’s nothing, that dream was just too real.
Whether it is the old faces that I have seen before, the 'new faces' that I have never seen, or the colorful world, they are all too real and beautiful.
It was so beautiful that he decided to recreate it no matter what the cost.
For this purpose, he even went to Uchiha Madara again.
Although he knew it was just a dream.
The possibility of using "dream" to convince Uchiha Madara is not great (it should be said that it is very slim), but for the future in the dream, he decided to give it a try.
The worst that could happen is that he'd get beaten up again, it's not like he hasn't been beaten up before.
When I was a child, my father beat me no less severely than this.
So on a dark and windy night, Hashirama Senju reached the edge of the Uchiha clan's territory... the Nanga River.
It is impossible to go to the Uchiha clan’s territory. At most, the entire clone can go and lure the best friend out.
Ordinary clan members might not feel it, but as an extremely sensitive Uchiha, Uchiha Madara naturally noticed the clone of his former friend who was "hidden, but not completely hidden".
"Have you finally decided that it's better to die in my hands than to continue like this?"
He rushed to the river in a bad mood.
There was a gloomy look on his pale face. If you looked closely, you could seem to see faint dark circles under his eyes.
“It’s not impossible.”
Senju Hashirama jumped out and scratched the back of his head.
Given the situation of the Uchiha and Senju clan, it is not impossible for him to die at the hands of Madara one day... no, it is more like a high possibility.
After all, once you fight with Uchiha, you will always be fighting against Madara.
"But that's not what I came here for."
He calmed himself down, then said seriously:
"Madara, let's form an alliance."
"You're going to say that boring thing again—"
"No, I really found a way this time."
Senju Hashirama looked certain.
"We form an alliance, no problem."
"Tell me about it."
Uchiha Madara crossed his arms and looked at Hashirama Senju across from him.
Even though they both knew that the other would not fight each other under such circumstances, they would not distance themselves from each other at this moment.
This is the current situation of Uchiha and Senju, as well as many other ninjas.
In this situation, how do you form an alliance?
"I know this may be a little far-fetched, but I hope you can listen to me before you get angry."
Senju Hashirama gave a warning in advance, then took a deep breath and began his narration:
"In my dream..."
Senju Hashirama was not particularly good at telling stories, so it took him several minutes to tell the whole story.
While carefully looking at Uchiha Madara's expression, he stated his conclusion.
"——In summary, I think our alliance is possible."
When he finished speaking, Hashirama Senju was actually ready to be scolded and beaten.
I even thought about what to say when I was beaten.
Whether to fight or not, he has to find a way to form an alliance!
However, unexpectedly, Uchiha Madara did not look , but instead seemed to be in some hesitation.
The expression on his face kept changing.
"… Madara, what do you think?"
Seeing that Uchiha Madara did not respond for a long time, Senju Hashirama spoke again carefully.
Whether it's good or bad, there has to be some movement, right?
"Or if you're uncomfortable, we can talk about it next time?"
Unexpectedly, when he said this, Uchiha Madara retorted:
"How can such an important matter be held until next time?"
"Then, then this time..." Senju Hashirama was stunned for a moment and then continued, "I know the word 'dream' sounds outrageous, but I really am not kidding you. In fact, that dream..."
He tried to explain further.
Even though he himself firmly believed in the dream and thought it was a 'revelation' from his future self, to others, it might indeed be... well, it might make them feel like they were being fooled?
——Looking at the reaction of his younger brother Tobirama, it is still very likely.
However, unexpectedly, Uchiha Madara shook his head very calmly.
"I didn't doubt you."
"So... huh? No?"
Senju Hashirama stopped talking in surprise.
After all, even his own brother thinks he
Maybe he was confused because of sleep and fooled him. Why did Ban, who is usually suspicious and sensitive, confirm what he said?
"...You're not pretending to be me."
A sentence came out of his mouth.
Uchiha Madara: "Do you want me to beat you up to see if I'm real?"
——This tone and expression, this is definitely the real Madara.
but……
Senju Hashirama scratched his head again.
"Do you really believe me?"
"I believe it."
Uchiha Madara paused for a moment before speaking in a difficult voice:
"Because I also...had a dream."
In fact, when it comes to dreaming, Uchiha Madara finds it a bit difficult to talk about it.
It's a bit shameful for an adult to still believe in dreams at such an old age.
Especially since he is not just an ordinary adult, but also the newly appointed chief of the Uchiha clan, he should not have any lucky or naive ideas.
But it's just like the feeling of Hashirama Senju.
Uchiha Madara also felt that the dream was too real.
It was so real that it was like Uchiha Madara had really experienced all that. Even with his Mangekyō Sharingan, he couldn't find any flaws.
I can only wonder, maybe this is really someone... or maybe there is a 'me' in another world who has found a way to pass these memories to me in the form of a dream.
Compared to the statement that "it was just an illogical dream", Uchiha Madara felt that this possibility was more likely.
After all, if it were him, after experiencing something like that, he would inevitably have such thoughts.
It's enough to make the mistake once.
If there really are other worlds, he will definitely try his best to tell his other selves.
Which way is the right one.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara felt much better.
He only convinced himself, but he also knew that this kind of words could not convince others. He could only think about how to get on the right path.
He felt that if he couldn't achieve any results, he wouldn't be able to convince anyone else, not even his own clansmen.
How can anything be accomplished in this case?
If there was anything he hadn't expected, it was that Hashirama Senju had the same dream.
——Oh, and the other world's me was actually
It's a scam with this black and ugly thing.
What was that thing called?
Oh, right, Black Zetsu.
Wait until he has his hands free and see how he deals with that guy.
However, the thick-skinned Hashirama Senju naturally could not understand the twists and turns in Uchiha Madara's inner entanglement.
He just opened his arms to Uchiha Madara with his eyes shining:
"spot!"
"I knew it! I knew you were my best friend! My revelation!"
If this was not the case, how come they were the only two people in the world who received the revelation from their dreams and knew the direction of peace!
Obviously, Tobirama was also summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation in that world!
But he had been hinting at it these past few days, but it was clear that the other party knew nothing about that world.
What does this prove?
It proves that only he and Madara are special!
Uchiha Madara: ...I don’t think so at all.
Close friend... He could still nod his head, but forget about the apocalypse or anything like that.
"So where do we start?"
Now that we have had that dream, things become much simpler.
Uchiha Madara brought the topic back on track.
When Senju Hashirama heard this, he retracted his smile and arm.
He folded his arms, and began to think seriously.
"First... we still have to form an alliance first."
Uchiha Madara: ...?
You saw so much in your dream, and thought about it for so many days, and this is what you came up with???
How is this different from the past!?
——Of course, the "alliance" that Hashirama Senju wanted this time was different from the last time.
To put it simply.
It's not just the Uchiha and the Senju.
He is going to do something big this time and get everyone to form an alliance.
If everyone forms an alliance and follows Miss Yu Yue's work delegation model... then there will be no wars, right?
If everyone stops fighting, won't peace come naturally?
Senju Hashirama felt that his logic was perfect.
——Of course, such a grand wish cannot be achieved by just the two of them.
So I still have to find a way to get my two younger brothers into the group.
When it comes to fighting, neither Hashirama Senju nor Madara Uchiha were afraid of anyone.
But when it comes to clerical work, negotiations and other cunning matters... well, I'd better leave it to my younger brother.
What’s the old saying?
If the elder brother has something to do, the younger brother needs to help him? (Two younger brothers:?)
Of course, in order to achieve this goal, some preliminary work still needs to be done.
For example... just do your job honestly for a while to make the other person feel happier.
This makes communication easier, so you don't get scolded by your angry brother just as you start.
——Of course, this only refers specifically to Hashirama Senju.
Although Uchiha Izuna also disapproved of his brother having any entanglement with Senju Hashirama, his temper and admiration for his brother were not on the same level as Senju Tobirama.
Naturally, I would not behave in such a 'disrespectful' manner.
After that, the two of them had to speak with one voice. If they wanted to convince people, they at least had to have a way of speaking, right?
Oh, and they need money... But that's easy, at worst they can just do a few jobs secretly on the black market.
If two votes are not enough, use four votes.
As long as the quantity is large enough, there will be qualitative change sooner or later.
Although the 'Gold Exchange' was the 'black market' of Ugetsu's era, similar places were not limited to that era.
On the contrary, this thing may have a history as long as ninjas... or even longer than ninjas.
It’s just that there are different names and types in different eras.
Although as regular ninjas with their own work processes, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara rarely deal with these people.
But there is a difference between 'almost never' and 'absolutely never'.
Therefore, the 'deputy clan leaders' of the two major ninja clans, that is, the younger brothers on both sides, were surprised to find that:
Why has my brother been so well behaved and gone out so frequently recently?
Of course, the one in front must be Senju Tobirama.
At first, Senju Tobirama felt somewhat relieved:
My brother finally gave up those unrealistic fantasies and started to work seriously.
But soon, he felt something was wrong again.
Because this time, Big Brother's 'seriousness' lasted too long.
He grew so tall that he began to suspect that someone was controlling his older brother with magic.
No shouting about Uchiha, not even going to the casino or joining in the fun...
No, it's not right no matter how you think about it.
Senju Tobirama's mood changed from ease at the beginning to uneasiness, and finally to suspicion.
He really thinks that Big Brother
Being so honest, he must be brewing some big trouble again.
So, he started tracking again after a long absence.
Although this matter is not decent and full of distrust, in the eyes of Senju Tobirama.
It is always better to nip the problem in the bud than to try to put it out after it occurs.
Senju Tobirama has always been like this.
It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go.
Compared to Senju Tobirama's roundabout approach, Uchiha Izuna, who is also his deputy and also a younger brother, is much more direct.
He stopped his brother who was running back exhausted and said directly:
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Such a simple and straightforward question did not give people any chance to change the subject.
Uchiha Madara: ...
Sometimes it’s not always a good thing when my younger brother is too smart.
