Chapter 122 Connotation

"Alas. It's just a fantasy. I don't know when the village will be able to stand up again."

"Perhaps, letting an Uchiha become Hokage can really change the current situation of the village?"

"Uchiha... forget it. I won't vote for them anyway."

Hashirama continued: "Besides that, many more people will join. This village will grow bigger and bigger! It's time to give the village a name. Do you have any good ideas?"

Madara looked down at the leaf in his hand, then placed it in front of his eyes.

[How is Konohagakure? ]

Upon hearing this, Hashirama instantly lowered his head and fell into depression.

[So simple. No connotation at all, just copy it directly.]

Madara was furious and yelled at Hashirama: [How is this different from being a Hokage? ! By the way, haven't you cured your depression problem yet? ]

After calming down, Madara asked again: [So, the job of the Hokage is to stay in the village and protect everyone? ]

Hashirama touched his chin and said, "This is part of it, but not all. The construction of the village will get down to business, and the Hokage will be busy. So I have to carve your huge Yanyan on the rock wall at your feet as a symbol of protecting the village."

A drop of sweat fell down Ban's face, and he asked with an embarrassed look: [Are you kidding? ]

Hashirama smiled and said, "But your face is too fierce, it needs some work."

Madara said speechlessly: [It's better than your distraught and embarrassing expression. ]

Hashirama fell into depression.

[Is it really that embarrassing? ]

Madara chuckled.

【Ah. This is so embarrassing.】

【Yeah? 】

【Hahaha……】

Muye Village

"So the name of Konoha Village was given by Madara?"

"Because he saw leaves, and the Shodaime used Wood Release? No wonder the Shodaime complained that Madara copied it directly!"

"Hiss~ This analysis, Madara also said that it is no different from the name of Hokage... It reminds me of the leader who guards the Land of Fire in the shadows. Coincidentally, Madara is good at fire escape, and the first generation wants Madara, who is good at fire escape, to become the leader in the shadows."

“It looks like it has no connotation, but it’s actually full of connotation!”

"I don't know why, but I like to see Madara's angry face because of the First Generation the most."

【Is it here? 】

Tobirama ran over and shouted at the two people's backs: [Why are you still wasting time here? The Fire Country Daimyo is coming for a meeting! ]

The smile on Madara's face disappeared and he turned his head to look at Tobirama.

[It's Tobirama. ]

The two looked at each other, and there was obvious hostility in their eyes.

Ninja World

"These two people will never see eye to eye."

"Tobirama killed Izuna, and there is almost no possibility of reconciliation between the two."

"Just look at what Future Madara did to Tobirama. He nailed Tobirama to the ground, and there were so many black sticks stuck in his body."

Hashirama and Tobirama arrived here first.

Tobirama asked: [Hokage? Why did you take the initiative? ]

Tobirama looked at Hashirama who was resting with his eyes closed, and then spoke again: [It is indeed okay to recommend Madara as a candidate for village chief, but the final candidate needs to listen to the opinions of the Fire Country and the villagers, and then communicate with the higher-ups to decide. This is no longer the era of my father. ]

Hashirama opened his eyes: [But...]

Tobirama interrupted: "Besides, Uchiha Madara will never be elected as the village chief. Everyone knows it. The one who facilitated the establishment of the village was you, big brother. Even the Uchiha people said so."

Seeing Hashirama frowning, Tobirama continued: [Besides, big brother, don't you know the rumors about the Uchiha? Among them, the stronger the hatred, the stronger the pupil power, and the Sharingan is like this. I don't know what this group of people will do. For the future of the village...]

Hashirama interrupted in a deep voice: [Don’t say that! Tobirama!]

Just then, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the house. Hashirama was startled and stood up and walked to the window.

He opened the window and took a look.

[It seems that someone was here just now. Tobirama, you should know, right? ]

Tobirama turned around and said, "No, I didn't use chakra just now. Don't change the subject, brother! From now on, we will operate in a democratic way. Do you have any objections?"

Hashirama stuck his head out of the window and found a leaf on the ground that had been gnawed by insects. He bent down to pick it up and the leaf broke.

Holding a half leaf in his hand, Hashirama said, "No, let's do it this way."

"It must be Madara. I feel like something bad is going to happen..."

“Is this broken leaf hinting at something?”

"After hearing all this, Madara will surely have a rift with Konoha, right? Hashirama promised Madara that he would be the leader, but in the end he didn't make it. Instead, because of public opinion, he became the Shodaime. Madara thought he would be the leader of the village, but in the end he didn't make it. It's really similar to what happened to Indra."

"Ban... that shouldn't be the case, right?"

The scene changes.

The shadow rock of the pillars has been carved into the cliff.

One night

Inside the Uchiha Nanga Shrine.

Madara said to Hashirama: [This is a stone tablet that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Uchiha clan. It has never been shown to outsiders. It is very special and requires pupil power to interpret. With my current ability, the content I can interpret is as follows...]

[In pursuit of stability, a god divided yin and yang into two poles, and the two opposites interacted with each other, resulting in the creation of all things. ]

[This is a truth that applies to everything in the world. In other words, as long as two opposite forces complement each other, true happiness can be achieved. However, it can also be understood from another perspective. ]

Hashirama listened very carefully.

Madara said: [Hashirama, do you think I know nothing? ]

Hashirama said solemnly: "Leave the Tobirama matter to me. I cannot do without your help. You are the Hokage's right-hand man and my brother. I hope you can assist me. One day, the people will discover your merits. By then, you will be the second generation."

Madara did not agree with Hashirama and continued to ask: [After you, the successor to the position of Hokage should be Tobirama, right? ]

[The Uchiha clan will be wiped out one day. I understand this, so I called on the Uchiha clan members to leave the village with me, but no one was willing to follow me.]

Hashirama murmured: [Madara…]

[I couldn't even save my brother. I promised him that I would protect the tribe members, but it seems I can't do it now. The tribe members I want to protect don't believe me at all.]

Hashirama said in a deep voice: [That’s not the case. We will be able to… soon.]

Madara interrupted him, staring at Hashirama and said: [At that time, perhaps I should force you to kill your brother. You call me a brother, but... which side are you willing to give up for the village? ]

[I think I know you well enough. This is your limit. I want to leave the village. I found another way. It is because we are honest with each other that I can see everything clearly. It is called help, but in fact it is just a secret fight.]

Hashirama said anxiously: [This is impossible, I won't let this happen!]

Madara said calmly: [It all depends on how you understand the facts, Hashirama. Forget about the compromise. It is safer to regard this world as a show to entertain people.]

Hashirama's tone became more serious: [Did you hear what I said? Madara! ]
