Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

"Tell us quickly, we really want to hear your stories!"

"Nonsense! How could he and I possibly resemble each other? There's no story between us..."

Tobirama Senju subconsciously waved his hand, but then froze for a moment, a look of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.

It seems, perhaps, possibly, probably, that there is a slight similarity in style and temperament?

If you include the hundreds of times they fought each other, the story does seem a bit...

"Never mind, I'll just treat this as telling you history."

"Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Madara's younger brother, was the de facto ruler and battle commander of the Uchiha clan during the Warring States period. He was an extremely difficult enemy to deal with and was once known as a flawless, perfect ninja."

Tobirama Senju did not belittle him, but rather offered a fair assessment:

"Of all the enemies I've encountered, he was the most troublesome. When he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, I was at a disadvantage and in a very sorry state."

"But Uchiha Izuna's troublesome nature is not limited to his strength. He has a wise mind and a cold personality, but he also has a gentle side towards his clansmen, which has won over the hearts of the Uchiha clan. The way you won over Uchiha Hachimoku is his old trick."

"His talent in ninjutsu, eye power, taijutsu, swordsmanship, and mental strength are all top-notch."

“From the age of nine, I became his rival. Every time we met on the battlefield, we would fight each other until I developed the Flying Thunder God Technique to deal with his Mangekyou Sharingan and personally injured him severely.”

"I sometimes think, if he had survived back then, I think he would have been able to see the bigger picture, and perhaps Konoha's future would have been better, and Madara Uchiha wouldn't even have betrayed the village..."

Tobirama Senju spoke of the past, his tone tinged with a touch of wistful emotion.

But then Tobirama Senju changed his tone and hardened his stance: "But in any case, I am still stronger."

Aokiji's eyes seemed to light up as he looked at Tobirama, like a loyal fan listening to his idol recount his glorious deeds: "Tobirama, tell me what your first encounter with him was like?"

"That year, I was nine years old, and he was nine years old too..." Tobirama Senju said slowly, "It was in a forest in the Land of Fire..."

"What about the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth times?" Qing Shui asked after listening with lingering interest.

"Who remembers, kid? Let me pick a few you remember and tell you, don't ask random questions!" Tobirama Senju snorted coldly and slowly began to tell the story from the past.

Qingshui listened intently, intending to boldly try out his conjecture.

If Madara Uchiha truly felt that Aokiji resembled Izuna Uchiha and thus associated himself with him.

So why not make it a reality...?

Seeing his younger brother was like seeing him come back to life; the old man probably wouldn't hold back his emotions, right?

To resemble the real Uchiha Izuna, one must start by drawing inspiration from the story of Senju Tobirama.

In the ninja world, the person who understands a person best is always their enemy…

During tonight's Tobirama Storytelling Session, amidst genuine praise and compliments from Aokiji, Tobirama Senju recounted many stories about himself and Izuna Uchiha.

From hairstyle, clothing, and subconscious movements, to offensive and defensive habits, familiar ninjutsu, and the use of the Sharingan.

This even includes what he likes to eat, because Tobirama Senju once considered poisoning Izuna Uchiha…

"Anyway, kid, although I don't like an Uchiha brat imitating my fighting style, your Water Release talent, to be honest, is no less than mine..."

"Therefore, don't waste your talent learning from Uchiha Izuna. My ninjutsu is enough to benefit you for a lifetime..."

After finishing his explanation, Tobirama Senju summarized his points.

Currently, Tobirama Senju's impression of Aoshui is still very complex and cannot be simply described as good or bad.

However, when he saw that Aoshui was developing in the direction of Uchiha Izuna, Tobirama Senju took advantage of Aoshui asking him to tell stories to vigorously promote his own strengths.

In Tobirama Senju's view, regardless of Aozumi's true stance and thoughts, he would rather Konoha have one more Tobirama Uchiha than one more Izuna Uchiha...

After listening to stories all night, Qingshui finally discovered a problem.

Tobirama Senju and Izuna Uchiha are so alike.

Both are equally cold and wise, yet warm-hearted, and both are brother-obsessed; they are skilled in swordsmanship, body-flickering techniques, and various ninjutsu…

Putting aside the Mangekyou Sharingan and Flying Thunder God Technique, as well as Water Release and Fire Release, these two are practically identical, the only difference being their appearance.

If two people swapped souls and origins, there wouldn't be the slightest sense of incongruity; their personalities would be exactly the same...

At this moment, Qingshui also figured something out.

Aozumi, fighting in the form of Tobirama Senju against the Eighth Hokage Uchiha, changed his fighting style from Water Release to Fire Release combined with swordsmanship…

That's just like Uchiha Izuna!

If Madara Uchiha saw this, the old man would definitely lose his temper, which is understandable.

“I understand, Tobirama. I just had insomnia and wanted to hear your stories from the past, to learn more about you…” Aozumi nodded, his eyes darting around:

"Although I'm a little sleepy, I'd like to ask one last question."

"Go ahead."

"Who's stronger, you or Madara Uchiha? Were you ever beaten by him back then?"

[From your lane opponent, Tobirama Senju, you have obtained the Sealing Technique: Five Elements Sealing!]

"You evil Uchiha brat, I'll deal with you right now..."

Qingshui laughed heartily: "Good night, Tobirama."

In the instant his figure vanished, Qing Shui vaguely saw that the corners of Senju Tobirama's mouth seemed to be curled up...

#

Meanwhile, when Aozumi and Tobirama were having a late-night tea party.

The White Zetsu, sent by Madara Uchiha to fulfill Obito's dream, encountered an unexpected incident.

A thick mass of black substance enveloped the White Zetsu, devouring the Yin-Yang Release chakra within it that represented Madara Uchiha's will...

Kaguya Otsutsuki's third child seized this opportunity. Before the combined will of White Zetsu and Madara Uchiha could replace Rin Uchiha's will, it preemptively replaced Madara Uchiha's will with itself...

Black Zetsu, lurking within White Zetsu, whispered excitedly, "I thought we'd have to wait until that insanely stupid Spokesperson Project started before we'd have a chance to get close to this generation's Indra who has awakened his Sharingan..."

“Very good, very good. Whether it’s Uchiha Aokiji or Uchiha Obito, they are both good helpers in reviving Mother.”

"However, Madara Uchiha's plan is really twisted. He actually arranged for White Zetsu and Obito Uchiha to fall in love. What a pitiful kid, being targeted by this old man."

Although Black Zetsu said he felt sorry for Obito Uchiha, his smile was somewhat eerie: "The first mission I completed for Indra was to fall in love with the Uchiha brat? How interesting."

"Let me, Black Zetsu, let him experience the beauty of love..."

"Then, destroy this unreal, beautiful love with the most violent force at the moment he is most full of longing... The eye power born in this way must be wonderful..."

Black Zetsu slowly raised his head and solemnly gazed at the moon in the night sky.

Black Zetsu is willing to give anything for its mother…

This night.

Aoshi was thinking about how to disguise himself as Uchiha Izuna and was having a great time chatting with Tobirama.

While Black Zetsu was thinking about how to fall in love with Obito, he silently killed the original owner of the body and became the unique Uchiha Rin.

Madara Uchiha was thinking about his younger brother, his mind filled with memories.

Everyone seemed to have a bright future...

Two chapters combined...4K!

I need to work out the outline... How can I release a lot of chapters without an outline?

The good news is that we're off tomorrow!

A day of revelry for office workers! Time to chug away some words!

P.S.: In the original work, Black Zetsu's first appearance was when Madara Uchiha "created" him using Yin-Yang Release in front of Obito. I feel that no matter how senile Madara Uchiha was, he shouldn't be unable to distinguish his own will...

So I added some settings, like having Black Zetsu absorb Madara Uchiha's will, which feels better that way...orz

Chapter 29 The Test of the Will of Fire: Senju Tobirama's Reflections!

Ninja school.

Qingshui glanced at the exam paper in front of him, briefly looked at the questions, then smiled confidently and casually twirled his pen.

This is the last subject of the final exam—An Introduction and Overview of the Will of Fire.

"Tobirama, how about it? Interested in seeing how many points you can get?" Aokiji spread out the test paper and said to Tobirama Senju with a smile:

"The first headmaster of the Ninja Academy, who summarized the Will of Fire, surely wouldn't get a perfect score? That would be almost laughable..."

"Kid, don't look down on me. The monkey's Will of Fire is something I personally taught him. Do you think this kind of test can stump me?"

Tobirama Senju scoffed, "If you want me to cheat for you, just say so..."

"If you want to use your understanding of the Will of Fire to get the monkey's attention, then do it on your own. I won't help you."

Qing Shui raised an eyebrow. How could this old man still have such a high opinion of himself?

Please briefly describe the deeds of the Third Hokage and share your thoughts on him.

[Please discuss the differences between clan ninjas and commoner ninjas, starting with your background, and outline your plans for your future ninja career.]

[Ninjas must abide by the rules, and completing missions is their top priority. Please discuss the importance of discipline for ninjas.]

Please describe your understanding of the Will of Fire.

The four comprehensive questions cover the Third Hokage, the Will of Fire, and the most sensitive issues in Konoha right now: the relationship between ninja clans and civilians, as well as the discipline that ninja academy students lack compared to seasoned ninjas.

Qingshui narrowed his eyes. Judging from the question design and the underlying concept, this set of test papers was of high quality and even had some practical value. It didn't seem like the kind of questions set by mediocre Chunin from the Ninja Academy...

The questions Qingshui presented today all seemed ordinary, but they all addressed current hot topics in Konoha.

In the past, the Will of Fire exams would include terrible questions like "Who is the strongest Hokage and why?" It seemed like they were trying to solidify the Third Hokage's popularity, but in reality, they were just making him look bad.

Ordinary students may not know about great figures from 30 or 40 years ago, such as Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, and Senju Tobirama, but do students from ninja clans not know about these once world-destroying ninja giants?

In ninja families, there are always old men who can tell stories.

Tobirama Senju seemed to move in sync with Aoshui's actions, narrowing his eyes and adopting a serious expression. He thought to himself, "What's wrong with that monkey? Making ninja academy students answer such profound questions. Even my older brother probably wouldn't pass if he were answering them..."

While Tobirama Senju was still questioning the difficulty of the exam.

After a moment's thought, Qing Shui began to write fluently, his pen making a "swish" sound.

Tobirama Senju watched this scene with a cold smile.
