Comparing the two pillars, this pillar is too extreme!

Therefore,

He must have truly become the patriarch of the Senju clan!

Young Madara was momentarily unable to accept this news!

22. Ban, do you know that weakness is the original sin?

The boy, Ban, who knew this news,

He said he didn't have enough brain cells.

My childhood friends

How did he suddenly become the head of the Senju clan?

Just a few days ago,

He was clearly just like me.

He's just an ordinary ninja!

In the Uchiha clan,

Although young Madara was the son of Uchiha Tajima, the head of the Uchiha clan,

But this identity didn't bring him many advantages!

He wanted to gain the approval of his tribe.

It must be obtained through one's own strength and achievements.

Even if he is the chieftain's son,

But without solid strength,

His own people won't give him any real respect either!

Although the Senju and Uchiha clans are irreconcilable enemies,

But young Madara knew that the Senju clan's internal structure was exactly the same as the Uchiha clan's.

They all value strength above all else!

Hashirama was able to become the head of the Senju clan.

Doesn't this mean the Senju clan has already acknowledged his strength?!

The boy, Ban, who had figured this out,

He no longer cared whether he and young Hashirama were on opposing sides.

His confidence has been completely shattered!

Before this, he believed that although there was a gap in strength between himself and the young Hashirama,

But it won't be very big.

Just give him some time.

He can definitely become as strong as young Hashirama!!

But now, the young Hashirama has become the head of the Senju clan.

Doesn't this mean he's even more powerful than his father, the previous head of the Senju clan, Senju Butsuma?!

After reflecting on the differences between himself and his father, Uchiha Tajima,

Young Ban felt a wave of despair wash over him!

According to his estimate,

He will need at least three years.

Even longer,

Only then could he surpass his father, Uchiha Tajima.

Now, Hashirama Senju has surpassed his father, Butsuma Senju.

Three years later,

How powerful will he become?

Even as a teenager, Madara wouldn't dare to dream of such a thing!

[Tobirama Senju: I suddenly feel a bit of sympathy for the other Madara. Suddenly, two friends who were quite similar have become worlds apart...]

Orochimaru: Perhaps this is the difference between geniuses. Even among geniuses, there are vast differences between them. I have long been aware of this...

[Jiraiya: Thank goodness... thank goodness Orochimaru is just an ordinary genius. If he were as monstrous as the First Hokage in this scene, I probably would have lost the motivation to catch up with him a long time ago...]

[The Fourth Raikage: It seems the Senju clan isn't as powerful as I imagined. They're only famous worldwide because of the First Hokage. Without the First Hokage, the Senju clan doesn't seem so impressive...]

[Mei Terumi: I agree with your point, Fourth Raikage. It seems that only the First Hokage of the Senju clan awakened Wood Release. No other member of the Senju clan has ever awakened it. Aside from the First and Second Hokage, the Senju clan doesn't even have a single renowned ninja! Even their granddaughter, Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, is only famous for her medical ninjutsu.]

[Uchiha Sasuke: Hmph!! Only the bloodline of our Uchiha clan is the strongest bloodline!!]

[Deidara: So how was your clan wiped out?]

[Uchiha Sasuke: ...]

[Sakura Haruno: I don't know if you guys have noticed, but the First Hokage in the black frame and the First Hokage in the white frame look exactly the same. However, the First Hokage in the black frame seems much more handsome to me than the one in the white frame...]

[Yamanaka Ino: Wide forehead, you stole all my lines, that's exactly what I wanted to say!!!]

[Anko Mitarashi: ...What are you kids so interested in all day? But now that you mention it, it seems...that's really true!!!]

……

"...Did you suddenly show up just to show off in front of me?"

"What's so great about a mere clan chief position?"

"Give me some time, and I can also become the head of the Uchiha clan."

Standing on the other side of the river, the young Ban said with a displeased expression.

And seeing the expression on his face,

Young Hashirama smiled smugly.

It seems I didn't miscalculate.

The relationship between myself and the gifted youth program remained unchanged.

There wasn't much of a barrier between the two of them!

Before the last family ambush incident, the two of them...

They should have already guessed each other's identities.

The Senju and Uchiha clans were like sworn enemies.

In some mysterious way, they sensed something in each other.

Young Hashirama did not deliberately investigate the identity of young Madara!

But he could sense it.

Young Madara was a member of the Uchiha clan.

He couldn't explain why, he could only attribute it to intuition!

Therefore, they already knew each other's hidden identities from the beginning.

It's just that no one has made it clear yet!

"Madara... as a rival I acknowledge."

"I believe you."

"Given enough time, you will definitely become the head of the Uchiha clan."

"Among my peers."

"You are the only peer who makes me feel pressured."

Young Hashirama still lied against his will.

However, he believes he did not deceive the young Madara.

He did have that feeling at one time.

But as his strength grew...

He didn't believe that young Madara could catch up with him or pose a threat!

"Ban, what is your purpose in working so hard and always wanting to become stronger?"

“I remember you once told me that you wanted to build a peaceful world.”

"Deep down, you are also very tired of the war between the Senju and Uchiha clans, and you think that this kind of meaningless battle is completely unnecessary."

"You hate the current system, you hate all the adults sending children to the battlefield."
