"Tobirama-sensei, I am your Disciple. Are you really willing to believe the one-sided words of an outsider rather than me?" Homura Mitokado was still making his final argument.
"Everything I said is not just my one-sided word. Nidaime(2nd)-sama can go to the Village to verify it yourself. If I have lied even a little, Nidaime(2nd)-sama can kill me directly, and I will never resist." Asana retorted.
The Second Hokage's expression grew uglier as he heard this, and his gaze towards Homura Mitokado became increasingly cold.
Senju Tobirama had already sensed the Nine-Tails Chakra outside just a moment ago, and he had already been suspicious of Homura Mitokado.
Now, after hearing Asana's words, Senju Tobirama understood that he had taken in a few "good" Disciples.
But after all, Homura Mitokado was someone he had watched grow up. Senju Tobirama did not attack Homura Mitokado. He sighed and performed hand Seals, dispelling the Edo Tensei himself.
A white light erupted from Senju Tobirama, and his Soul gradually separated from his body.
Uchiha En was a bit surprised by Senju Tobirama's choice; he had thought Senju Tobirama would fight him!
"Young man of the Uchiha Clan, I can tell that you are different from the others in the Uchiha Clan. Can you tell me what you imagine doing in the future?" Senju Tobirama asked.
"Of course. I want to become Hokage, and then start from Konoha and the Land of Fire to unify the Ninja World."
"Why unify the Ninja World?" Senju Tobirama asked.
"Facts have proven that Shodai(1st)-sama's approach was wrong. Distributing the Tailed Beasts and hoping that people would understand each other could never bring peace. So, I decided to try my own method. I want to unify the Ninja World, break the existing order of Ninjas, and create a new world."
Senju Tobirama was silent for a moment before saying: "Actually, I had a similar idea back then. When Konoha was first founded, Hashirama and Madara were both at their Peak. The two of them were fully capable of unifying the entire Ninja World, rather than just establishing a Village like this. But later, Hashirama and Madara drifted further and further apart, and I also started to feel that even if we unified the Ninja World for a short time, we would have no way to control it afterward. After Hashirama and Madara died, the Ninja World would sooner or later fall apart again. So, I gave up on this idea. Young man of the Uchiha Clan, do you have a way to keep this Ninja World unified for a long time?"
"Naturally I do, otherwise I wouldn't do it this way," Uchiha En said.
"Since that is the case, I hope you can succeed and bring true peace to the Ninja World."
"Didn't Nidaime(2nd)-sama just want to get rid of me because I have the Bloodline of the Uchiha Clan?"
"Haha! Young man, don't be so narrow-minded! I don't have any prejudice against the Uchiha Clan; it's just that people from your clan are too prone to becoming 'madmen,' so for the sake of the Village, I had to be on guard."
Uchiha En smiled and said nothing more. Through his exchange with the Second Hokage, especially after confirming the truth about the disappearance of the Senju Clan, his opinion of the Second Hokage had changed quite a bit.
Senju Tobirama was a smart and decisive person. It was a pity that his governing style was too conservative and he was too suspicious. Uchiha En was destined not to like this Hokage.
However, as Hokage, Senju Tobirama understood his own shortcomings. He did not hand over the position of Hokage to Danzo, who had always followed his philosophy, but instead handed it to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had a philosophy similar to his elder brother, Senju Hashirama. It had to be said that this was also a kind of wisdom.
There was an even more critical point: Hiruzen Sarutobi was not a member of the Senju Clan. The Second Hokage could choose someone outside the Senju Clan to serve as Hokage, which showed that he could abandon Family interests for the sake of the Village. On this point, Uchiha En asked himself if he could do the same.
Therefore, at the moment when Senju Tobirama's Soul ascended to heaven, Uchiha En said to him: "Nidaime(2nd)-sama, when I create the world I want, I will use Edo Tensei to wake you up and let you see this world again."
Senju Tobirama's Soul smiled and left.
Meanwhile, in the Uchiha Clan's compound in Konoha Village, in the forest near Naka Shrine, the Uchiha Clan's shelter was filled with ordinary people of the Uchiha Clan who had no Chakra, as well as women, the elderly, and children.
