Chapter 20: The plot begins to shift in the world of Naruto No. 1

Hashirama's sudden change of heart completely disrupted Madara's thinking, leaving him stunned and at a loss.

We had only not seen each other for half a day.

How could Hashirama change so much?

Did he anticipate my intentions and deliberately use the position of Hokage to stabilize me?

No, how could my Hashirama be so smart? ! !

Or was it just a joke?

"Hashirama, this joke is not funny."

Hashirama immediately swore: "Madara, I'm not joking, I'm serious!"

"I have decided to let you inherit the position of Hokage!"

"Tomorrow I will formally make a will and notify the Land of Fire and other tribes that you will succeed me as the Hokage. No one can veto it!"

Although this is arbitrary and undemocratic.

But in Hashirama's eyes, the safety of the village is much more important than democracy...

Madara stared at Hashirama, trying to find the slightest flaw in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Hashirama was still very sincere.

With his understanding of Hashirama, it is almost certain that Hashirama is serious this time!

Once Hashirama is serious, no one can change his will, not even his brother Tobirama!

Madara took a deep breath, and then said faintly:

"I had originally planned to leave Konoha."

"A few days ago, I summoned my clansmen to leave with me, but unfortunately no one was willing to follow me."

"The long Warring States period has made them tired of war, and they cherish the hard-won peace now."

"I didn't expect that Hashirama would come up with such a trick, which really caught me off guard!"

Hashirama was shocked.

This really coincided with the future, and Madara was already preparing to leave Konoha.

"Madara, you..."

"Hashirama, you just became Hokage, although it is the popular choice, but immediately and arbitrarily announced the successor of the second generation, which will inevitably encounter great resistance and even affect the reputation of Hokage..."

"I don't care!"

"As long as you can stay. You are also my brother, I sincerely hope that you can continue to assist me!"

Hashirama persuaded passionately.

He didn't want Madara to leave anyway, and he didn't want to kill him in the future.

Just thinking about it, he felt heartbroken now.

Never let that future happen!

Madara was silent again, and Hashirama's enthusiasm moved him, and his heart was warm.

It was like a wife who was about to run away from home because of a small conflict, and was suddenly retained by her husband's open-hearted love. He was even willing to change himself and fight against the whole village.

Who can resist such love?

Madara couldn't help but waver...

"Hashirama, I want to know, what made you suddenly change your decision? This doesn't seem like a choice you would make..."

Hashirama paused, thought about it, and there was nothing to hide, so he said bluntly:

"Madara, you can't leave the village. This will only make you go further and further away from me, and even one day I will kill you with my own hands!"

"Hashirama, what did you say? Do you really think you can kill me?"

Madara got excited and shouted loudly.

His relationship with Hashirama is true. But mutual competition is also a kind of fun. Facing Hashirama's bragging, he was naturally very dissatisfied.

He said this as if Hashirama had defeated him.

How could he bear this?

"Ban, don't get excited, I don't mean that."

"What do you mean?"

"It's like this. Today I unexpectedly got the help of a fairy and traveled to the future. I saw a lot of bad news that shouldn't happen in the future. Among them, there are many stories about you..."

Ban: "Ah?"

Even though Ban was mentally resolute, after hearing such an outrageous truth, he couldn't help but doubt his life.

He even worried that Hashirama was stupid as a Hokage?

Or was he still dreaming and not awake?

Hashirama was not angry either. Of course, he knew that this kind of strange news was incredible.

He immediately pulled Ban and sat down together.

Then he very carefully and solemnly repeated all his experiences and observations to Ban.

...

...

Ban became more and more shocked as he listened.

He couldn't help but secretly smack his lips at the future trend of the entire ninja world.

Although many stories in the future sound extremely outrageous; but after careful analysis, they are very consistent with everyone's personality and expectations.

Even a large part of it coincides with Madara's own guess about the future.

Madara can't help but believe it a little.

Especially his own preparations: betraying the village, catching the Nine-Tails, attacking Konoha again... and so on.

Although Madara is not completely sure, he already has this idea and plan in his mind. He has never told anyone about these ideas, but now they are revealed one by one by Hashirama.

It is enough to explain many problems.

To put it another way, Hashirama alone couldn't come up with such an outrageous yet reasonable story...

"Hashirama, is this the reason for your change? What a good story!"

"Madara! This is not a story, this is the real future, I witnessed it with my own eyes!"

"Whether it is true or not, I will judge it myself."

"Madara, believe me! I really need you too. According to the future development, I will probably die in 15 years. By then, Tobirama will not be able to maintain the hard-earned peace!"

"But you are different. As long as you don't leave the village and succeed the position of the second generation Hokage, then the [First Ninja World War] may not break out at all."

"Peace in the entire ninja world can be maintained, and only you can do this!"

Hashirama persuaded sincerely.

This is also a solution he came up with after witnessing the future.

As long as Madara remains in the village and takes over as Hokage, with his prestige and intimidation, the [First Ninja War] will not be fought at all!

As for Tobirama?

My little brother who almost fell at the hands of two 'human foxes' is so disgusting!

For the future of the village, Tobirama can only sacrifice his own side.

"Hashirama, you are so naive! Even if I succeed as the Second Hokage, how long can I live? After I leave, the Ninja World War will still be unavoidable..."

"I know! But this can at least maintain peace for a while longer. Let us find other ways that are more conducive to peace."

"What can I do?"

"You and that guy Tobirama are trying to divide the tailed beasts in the future to maintain the balance of force among the major ninja villages? What a naive and stupid idea!"

"However, it looks very much like what you would do."

Madara scoffed.

In his opinion, this was simply stupid behavior.

Take the initiative to give strategic-level ‘weapons’ to other ninja villages?

Is this peacekeeping?

This is simply digging your own grave!

Not only will it fail to maintain peace, but it will only stimulate the ambitions of other villages, leading to a crazy arms race between countries...

Just like the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Atomic bomb, neutron bomb, hydrogen bomb, dirty bomb...

Crazy arms competition, one is bigger than the other, and one is more ruthless than the other!

If you switch to the [Ninja World], it would be equivalent to frantically researching tailed beasts and constantly developing the power of tailed beasts; the essence is the same...

Listen to this.

Hashirama was slightly ashamed and a little embarrassed.

According to future development, this is indeed a ‘plan’ that he has led and promoted.

"This plan to divide the tailed beasts does have many shortcomings and needs improvement. I am also thinking about it..."

"Hashirama, it is wrong for you to place all your hopes on the stupid people of the future!"

"Madara, how can you say that about our juniors! It is our responsibility to guide and train the children. And there will still be outstanding junior ninjas in the future!"

"Hashirama, why are you so naive?!"

This is also, in a sense, the biggest difference between Hashirama and Madara.

They both yearn for peace.

But Hashirama admires the inheritance of love and believes that future generations of ninjas hope to pass on the will of fire from generation to generation and achieve a peace of 'mutual understanding and mutual deterrence'.

However, Madara does not believe in his descendants, but only believes in himself. Decades of planning finally turned into his own, trying to destroy all threats by himself and achieve permanent peace.
