in the audience.
The audience entered the venue one after another.
As soon as they sat down, the factions became clearly distinct.
On one side is the Konoha camp, comprised of Jiraiya, Kakashi, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Sasuke.
On the other side, there were only two figures, Obito and Itachi, who can be considered part of the Red-Eyes faction, since neither of them can be considered part of the Uchiha faction.
On the Konoha side, the group exchanged glances, their expressions ranging from solemn to puzzled to hateful.
On the Red-Eyed side, Obito was sprawled casually in his chair, one leg crossed, completely oblivious to the hostile atmosphere around him; Itachi, as always, remained silent, his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.
Neither of them intended to speak, and the people on the Konoha side were also preoccupied with their own thoughts, so the audience fell into an eerie silence.
Just then, a slightly hunched figure appeared beside the aisle in the audience.
As soon as Danzo appeared, his gaze turned menacingly toward the Konoha camp.
He glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi for only a moment, and his eyes flashed with deep-seated resentment.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression stiffened when he was glared at.
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could even speak, Danzo snorted and walked toward his seat. Everyone present assumed that Danzo would reluctantly sit down in the empty seat next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, as he always did.
However, a scene that left everyone speechless occurred:
Danzo suddenly strode towards the direction where Obito and Itachi were.
silence.
A deathly silence.
The members of the Konoha camp were all stunned.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to react, instinctively sensing that Danzo was about to cause trouble.
"Danzo! Where have you been?! Come back here!"
What on earth is this guy trying to do?!
"return?!"
Danzo stopped abruptly upon hearing this.
He slowly turned around, his sinister single eye fixed on Hiruzen Sarutobi, and roared with years of pent-up resentment and rage, "Hiruzen Sarutobi! From this day forward, I, Shimura Danzo, will sever all ties with you—no, with all of you!"
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together! I no longer deign to associate with hypocrites like you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the members of the Konoha camp all showed expressions of disbelief.
Even Itachi, who had been keeping his eyes closed and silent, slightly opened them at this moment.
Having made his declaration, Danzo seemed to have completed some kind of sacred ritual.
He resolutely turned around and continued walking towards Obito and Itachi.
Danzo secretly felt smug.
From this day forward, I, Shimura Danzo, will be completely devoted to Lord Madara!
He could almost foresee Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression of deep regret.
A surge of wild pleasure welled up inside him. Regret it, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Konoha will completely lose its roots!
But eventually, the most accurate image will emerge!
He stared directly at Obito, who was still sitting lazily, took a deep breath, and lowered his voice, but it still carried an air of arrogance: "May I—sit here?"
Upon hearing Danzo's words, Obito was slightly taken aback, then burst out laughing.
He slowly lowered his leg that had been raised.
From top to bottom and then from bottom to top, Obito carefully examined Danzo several times.
What's wrong with that old geezer now?
Obito thought this was the most ridiculous joke he had ever heard in his life.
But without even a second's hesitation, he scoffed and spat out a single word: "Get lost!"
A single, simple word, clean and crisp, almost mercilessly slapped Danzo across the face.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
"you----!"
Danzo's body jolted violently, and his entire face instantly turned a deep purplish-red.
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "Get out?"
I turned away from darkness and embraced the light in front of everyone!
The other party was so disrespectful, telling him to get lost right away?!
In that instant, Danzo felt a surge of anger rise in his chest, turning it red and warm.
This masked man, disguised as a spotted man, is hiding his true identity!
You think you can take advantage of me?
Danzo was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed a trembling finger at Obito.
"Good, good, very good—!"
With a sharp crack, Danzo abruptly flicked his sleeve, glared fiercely at Obito, and then gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a vicious look, as if he wanted to remember their faces forever.
Then, Danzo straightened his back and walked step by step into the dark corner of the screening room.
Danzo sat down silently in the lonely chair, without saying another word.
In the picture, the first rays of dawn are rising.
Madara Uchiha strolled leisurely down the streets of Konoha Village.
Along the streets, vendors enthusiastically greeted passersby, while several innocent children chased each other on the street corner, their joyful laughter filling the air—a scene of peace and prosperity.
Moreover, what surprised Madara Uchiha was everyone he encountered along the way.
Whether it's a ninja hurrying along or a villager taking a leisurely stroll.
Upon recognizing him, they all immediately stopped and respectfully stepped aside.
-
People's faces showed heartfelt awe and respect, and their eyes followed him.
Several young Uchiha clan members even blushed with excitement and trembled slightly with excessive excitement the moment their eyes met his.
"Chieftain!"
"Hokage-sama!"
Respectful greetings rose and fell, echoing along both sides of the street.
Madara Uchiha accepted all of this with a blank expression.
His expression was indifferent, his steps were steady and composed, and his dignified gaze calmly swept over the people bowing and paying their respects along the way.
However, beneath that seemingly calm and aloof expression, his feelings were quite complex and peculiar.
It's truly an incredible difference.
As Madara Uchiha walked forward, he couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions.
Looking back, on the day he decided to leave Konoha Village, he walked out of the village entrance all by himself.
Not a single person came to see them off, nor did they utter a single word of farewell.
Everyone avoided him like the plague, even his own clansmen, leaving him, the clan leader, to leave alone.
And now, simply because—
Did Izuna's survival in this world lead to such a drastic change?
The thought of Izuna softened Madara Uchiha's usually cold and hard gaze for a moment.
Here, Izuna is alive.
This realization made his heart beat a little faster.
Madara Uchiha composed himself and casually stopped an Uchiha clansman who was on patrol.
"Clan Chief!"
"What are your orders?!"
The young man who was stopped was so excited that his voice trembled and his face turned bright red, as if he had received the greatest honor.
Madara Uchiha nodded slightly, his voice flat and revealing neither joy nor anger: "Where is Izuna now?"
"Ah! Lord Izuna!"
Upon hearing this, the young man immediately raised his voice and replied, "Lord Izuna went to the Hokage Building early this morning!"
"The Hokage Building?"
Madara Uchiha repeated it in a low voice, then thoughtfully raised his head and looked at the towering and magnificent building in the center of the village.
Oh, I almost forgot—
In this world, he is not merely the head of the Uchiha clan—
I am now—the Hokage.
The words "Naruto" sound somewhat ironic at this moment.
However, Madara Uchiha disagreed.
After all, when Konoha was first established, he personally handed over the position of Hokage to Hashirama Senju.
Otherwise, the First Hokage of Konoha should have been Madara Uchiha.
In this timeline where Izuna is alive, it's only natural that he would become Hokage and protect the village alongside Hashirama; it's not surprising at all.
This does not mean that I am inferior to Madara, the Hokage.
With this in mind, Madara Uchiha stopped wandering aimlessly.
He took a step, adjusted his direction, and walked steadily toward the Hokage Building.
Madara Uchiha looked ahead, heading to see his younger brother who was still alive.
He also wanted to see for himself what Konoha, where he was the Hokage, was really like.
His pace quickened involuntarily.
This dream was becoming more and more interesting to him.
The Uchiha clan's territory is very close to the Hokage Building.
This is a symbolic representation of the power and status of the Senju and Uchiha clans, the two founding clans of Konoha.
The two ethnic groups share the core of the village.
Therefore, it only took a short while for Madara Uchiha to arrive in front of the magnificent building that symbolized the highest power in Konoha.
At the main entrance of the Hokage Building, two guards stood watch.
Madara Uchiha strode towards the building entrance, and the guards immediately straightened up.
They clenched their right fists and pounded them hard on their left chests, shouting in loud, respectful voices, "Lord Hokage!"
Madara Uchiha remained indifferent, merely nodding slightly as a response.
After a brief period of adjustment, he seemed to have begun to take this awe for granted.
In this world, Madara Uchiha is the highest leader of the village, and it is only natural that the people here respect and revere him.
He strode into the tall, solemn portico, while the guards behind him maintained their upright salutes, watching his figure disappear through the door with fervent reverence in their eyes.
Upon entering the building, you are greeted by a spacious and bright lobby.
Just then, a slightly sharp argument suddenly came from deep within the hall.
Madara Uchiha paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately looked in the direction of the sound, his gaze instantly locking onto the scene in the center of the hall.
Three people were standing in the center of the hall.
Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju, and Izuna Uchiha.
Tobirama Senju, his face contorted with rage, stood with his arms outstretched, blocking the path of his elder brother, Hashirama Senju. His short, silver-white hair stood on end, and his handsome face was flushed red. "Brother! Wake up! How could you join Madara Uchiha in this nonsense?!"
"His proposed plan is playing with fire! If implemented, it will inevitably disrupt the hard-won balance, and it will absolutely lead to war!"
His adversary, Hashirama Senju, stood to the side with his arms crossed.
His usually kind face now showed determination, clearly indicating that he had made up his mind.
"Tobirama," Hashirama said firmly, "You don't need to try to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind. I trust Madara!"
Not far from the two, a slender and tall young man with black hair stood quietly.
He wore a dark clan robe embroidered with the clan's emblem of a fan, and his appearance was seven or eight parts similar to that of Uchiha Madara, only younger and more aloof.
It was Uchiha Madara's younger brother, Uchiha Izuna!
"snort!"
Suddenly, a cold snort came from the direction of the hall entrance, abruptly drowning out all the arguing.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, both Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Uchiha Izuna also looked up towards the entrance of the hall.
A tall figure slowly walked out from the interplay of light and shadow at the entrance.
"Tobirama Senju—what are your opinions on my decision?"
Madara Uchiha stopped in his tracks, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
"Uchiha Madara!"
Tobirama Senju whirled around and saw that the person who appeared from the doorway was Madara Uchiha. His eyes blazed with fury.
"Opinions? Hmph, my opinions are far from insignificant!"
Tobirama Senju stepped forward, completely ignoring his elder brother's expression, and angrily shouted at Madara Uchiha, "When our elder brother insisted on recommending you for Hokage, I was firmly against it!"
"A guy like you, driven by violence and familism, is absolutely unfit for this position!"
"Look at what you've done since you took power! You've acted recklessly, provoking powerful enemies—you'll only lead Konoha to destruction!"
Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's brows suddenly arched. "Narrow-minded? Destructive?"
His anger was gradually ignited, and his aura unconsciously rose steadily.
A murderous glint flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes. In reality, Tobirama Senju harbored deep prejudice against the Uchiha clan and was the one who personally killed Izuna.
I never expected that even in this world, he would still be hostile to me!
Madara Uchiha's eyes grew increasingly cold as the two powerful auras were about to collide violently in the blink of an eye.
"Tobirama! Shut up!"
A powerful and angry shout suddenly rang out.
Hashirama Senju suddenly stepped forward, his previously kind expression vanishing, replaced by an unusual anger and sternness.
His brows furrowed, and a terrifying aura suddenly burst forth from his body.
In an instant, the overwhelming pressure belonging to the God of Ninjas flashed by, making the air in the entire hall seem to freeze.
"Big...Big Brother?!"
Tobirama Senju had never seen his usually kind and gentle older brother so angry, and his words of rebuke to Madara Uchiha came to an abrupt halt.
"Apologize!"
Hashirama Senju gave his brother no chance to explain, pointing bluntly in Madara Uchiha's direction and commanding, "Apologize to Madara immediately! Now!"
""
Tobirama Senju's face turned deathly pale.
He clenched his fists tightly.
Should he apologize to Madara Uchiha?
He looked at Madara Uchiha with difficulty.
Madara Uchiha stood there with his arms crossed, his expression indifferent, and his gaze down at him carried a hint of disdain.
"snort!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Tobirama Senju glanced at Madara Uchiha, then turned sharply around and strode toward the entrance of the hall, refusing to look at anyone else.
Watching his younger brother storm off, Hashirama Senju's tall frame swayed slightly, a complex and unfathomable expression flashing across his face.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
After a long silence, he sighed dejectedly, slowly turned around, and solemnly bowed to Uchiha Madara, slightly lowering his head in apology: "Madara, I'm sorry."
"Tobirama—he's straightforward and outspoken. He's always harbored some prejudice and distrust towards the Uchiha clan. I apologize on his behalf, and I hope you won't take his words to heart."
"7
Madara Uchiha stared silently at his old rival and buddy who was apologizing to him, his feelings a complex mix of emotions.
This scene is truly heartbreaking.
Madara Uchiha couldn't help but recall countless scenes of his past encounters with Hashirama, and for a moment he didn't know what he was feeling.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye at Izuna, who was standing in the shadows to the side.
Izuna stood there expressionless, as if nothing had happened.
However, upon closer inspection, Izuna's eyes revealed a hint of mockery and coldness as he looked at Hashirama Senju.
Madara Uchiha composed himself, tilting his head slightly to one side to avoid Hashirama Senju's overly earnest gaze. "Hmph, I won't stoop to his level."
Hearing Madara Uchiha's slightly harsh but clearly unambiguous words, Hashirama Senju was taken aback for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.
A relieved smile returned to his face, even carrying his signature naiveté.
"Haha!" Hashirama Senju laughed heartily twice, his usual cheerful demeanor returning. "I'm glad you don't mind!"
As he spoke, he habitually raised his hand and patted Uchiha Madara's shoulder forcefully in delight: "As expected of my good brother, you have such a broad mind!"
This overly natural movement caused Madara Uchiha's body to stiffen almost imperceptibly for a moment.
Hashirama Senju leaned closer, lowered his voice, and his tone became serious.
"By the way, Madara—that thing you mentioned to me last time—"
"I've thought about it carefully. Although Tobirama strongly objected just now, I trust your judgment."
"Therefore, I agree! Our Senju clan will fully cooperate with you!"
"!!"
Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
agreed?
A sense of doubt and surprise flashed through his mind. What did Madara and Hashirama mention?
What has Hashirama Senju agreed to now?
In an instant, various guesses flashed through Madara Uchiha's mind.
However, he remained outwardly calm, his eyes slightly lowered, and he asked in a deliberately nonchalant tone, "Oh? Which matter are you referring to?"
