Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi!

It looks quite ordinary!

Xingxia Xiu never expected that this would be the first time he had met... well, he should call him grandfather.

But won't calling it that now scare people?

Hoshino hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside and called out "Hokage-sama" as Hashirama Senju passed by.

Hashirama Senju nodded in response with a gentle smile.

Hoshino watched Hashirama Senju leave without making any rash contact.

He doesn't belong here, even though he bears the insignia of a Konoha ninja.

But he can appear under another identity.

After touring Konoha from different eras, Hoshino Shizuka confirmed that it was now Konoha Year 14, and Tsunade was already 4 years old.

After some estimation, I realized that the battle at the Valley of the End is not far off.

"A classic battle, a must-see!"

Xingxia Xiu was in high spirits.

After some thought, he used the technique of transformation to replace an Uchiha with a three-tomoe Sharingan and infiltrated the Uchiha clan.

At this time, the Uchiha were a powerful clan in Konoha, on par with the Senju clan. Like the Senju clan, they lived in a central location, one on the left and one on the right, centered around the Hokage Building.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Hoshino Hide received a notice that a clan meeting would be held at the Nanga Shrine.

"It's finally here!"

After the messenger left, a look of joy appeared on Xingxia Xiu's face.

These past few days, there have been rumors circulating in the village about electing a second Hokage.

Today's clan gathering is clearly extraordinary.

7 PM.

Hoshita Hide, posing as Uchiha Gouen, arrives at the underground altar of the Naka Shrine.

Many Uchiha clan members have gathered here.

Everyone who gets to this place has awakened the Sharingan.

In total, there were as many as forty or fifty people.

And that's not all.

Many Uchiha are on missions outside the region.

At the same time, none of the female members of the Uchiha clan were present.

It is easy to imagine how prosperous the Uchiha clan was at that time.

At this time, more than ten years had passed since the end of the Warring States period and the establishment of Konoha. It could be said that Konoha had enjoyed more than ten years of peace. So, it was not surprising that there were so many people with open eyes.

In terms of the number of people who have awakened their Sharingan, the Hyuga clan has more.

After all, there is almost no situation in the Hyuga clan where one cannot awaken their Sharingan.

……

After waiting for a few minutes, the previously lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

Xingxia Xiu looked over and saw that Uchiha Madara had arrived!

Unlike the others who were dressed in ordinary clothes, Uchiha Madara was wearing armor and carrying his own fan and scythe.

This caused a stir among the Uchiha members who had just quieted down.

Because recent news has been circulating that Tobirama Senju will become the Second Hokage.

Standing before the stone tablet, in the flickering light of the campfire, Madara Uchiha's expression appeared gloomy and uncertain.

The Uchiha clan members fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat unusual.

Madara Uchiha looked at the many clansmen before him and then said, "The Second Hokage will not be me, nor will it be any Uchiha."

"Konoha has no Hokage from the Uchiha clan."

"Therefore, I plan to leave Konoha."

"Who among you is willing to leave Konoha with me?"

Madara Uchiha's words were direct, yet they left many Uchiha members stunned and shocked.

Even though I had a bad feeling, I never expected it to be like this.

Where to go after leaving Konoha?

Are we going to start a war with other ninja villages and then seize a new place to live?

Suddenly, the commotion resurfaced.

Xingxia Xiu sighed inwardly.

Even if you're going to take someone away, you can't do it so directly and so suddenly!

At least try to persuade them first!

Who could bear such a sudden turn of events?

Moreover, the current situation in the ninja world has been settled.

Where could the Uchiha go after leaving Konoha?

All the good spots are taken!

Moreover, after more than ten years of peace, why did he give up the good life of having a wife and children and a warm bed, and instead went out to fight and kill again?

Are you out of your mind?

So, despite the uproar, no one stood up.

Even the previously radical Uchiha who were loyal to Madara Uchiha and supported him becoming the Second Hokage hesitated at this moment and did not express their opinion.

Madara Uchiha looked at his clansmen, who had fallen silent once more, a mocking look appearing in his eyes, and a deep sense of desolation rising within him.

He was not only betrayed by his friends, but also by his own people!

From this day forward, his dream will be realized by him alone!

Madara Uchiha turned and left.

After the clan gathering ended, Hoshinobu Hidehiko hid near the Nanga Shrine.

Sure enough, not long after, Madara Uchiha returned here with Hashirama Senju and entered the underground altar, which had never been entered by outsiders before.

Hashirama Senju's plea to stay, Madara Uchiha's resolute decision.

Xingxia Xiu hid in the shadows and eavesdropped.

The discussion between Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju about the Second Hokage was the final straw that pushed Madara Uchiha towards Black Zetsu's conspiracy.

But according to Xingxia Xiu, given Madara Uchiha's personality, this was bound to happen sooner or later.

There's some truth to the saying that character determines destiny.

The latest novel is first published here!

……

Madara Uchiha's frank words rendered all of Hashirama Senju's attempts to persuade him to stay ineffective.

Under the moonlight, and under Hashirama Senju's gaze, Madara Uchiha left.

Hashirama Senju wanted to persuade them to stay, but he could no longer find an excuse to do so.

Madara Uchiha has embarked on a different path.

Furthermore, perhaps Madara Uchiha's departure is a good thing for Konoha?

Hashirama Senju was filled with mixed emotions. He stood outside the Naka Shrine for a long time until Tobirama Senju appeared and he came back to his senses.

"Tobirama, you shouldn't have done that."

Hashirama Senju rebuked.

Tobirama Senju disagreed: "This is the best outcome."

"The Uchiha's choice has already explained the problem."

Hashirama Senju sighed, turned to look at his only remaining brother, and instructed him, "You must treat the Uchiha clan well!"

Tobirama Senju said, "I plan to train Kagami Uchiha. He will be a good successor to Madara Uchiha and can guide the Uchiha clan onto the right path."

Hashirama Senju finally smiled upon hearing this: "That's good."

The two brothers chatted as they strolled away.

After a long while, Xingxia Xiu emerged from underground, staring blankly in the direction the two brothers had gone.

"Everyone has their own will and their own thoughts... Changing someone's mind is the hardest thing!"

"Guidance is the best..."

Hoshinoshita Hide withdrew his gaze and then looked in the direction of the Fire Temple.

The Nine-Tails is imprisoned and sealed there!

Before long, Madara Uchiha will make his move against Kurama, and then... the battle at the Valley of the End!

"Should I stir up some trouble?"

The Star Show is getting imminent.

Being in an era that wasn't his own made him feel much less constrained.

But after thinking about it, Xingxia Xiu held back.

No rush, no rush yet!

Hoshino Hide left, but sent a clone to the Fire Temple.

Time passes little by little.

Xingxiaxiu lay in wait, and before anyone knew it, the status bar had refreshed.

"In other words, the passage of time here is also recognized by the status bar."

"Even how much time has passed here, how much time has passed since I returned over there."

Xingxia Xiu felt a chill run down her spine, then a sense of helplessness washed over her.

Even with keen eyesight, they couldn't catch it!

It's a pity that such a good condition wasn't utilized much.

With a sigh to herself, Xingxia Xiu looked at the new status.

Current status: [Full of knowledge and wisdom]

Note: Literally, it means there is space inside your stomach.

Refresh countdown: 29 days 23:58:49

Xingxia Xiu raised an eyebrow as she looked at the new status.

There's a space inside my stomach?

Damn, there's definitely room in my stomach!

Xingxia Xiu frowned and carefully sensed it.

The phrase "a space inside the belly" in this context actually overlaps with the Four Symbols Seal.
