The demon monk in the second dimension

Another approach is to appeal to the emotions associated with the Naruto lineage.

Regardless, he was the Hokage personally appointed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

"This is not a responsibility that can be shirked with a simple statement of being entrusted with a heavy burden."

When Xia Zhi saw that Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to avoid the main issue, he decided to speak for himself.

He recounted one incident after another, including the death of White Fang, what Danzo's Root had done, the decline of the Senju clan, and the conflict between the Uchiha and the village.

"During the Third Shinobi World War, many children who had only trained at the Ninja Academy for one or two years were sent to the battlefield! The Ninja Academy was no longer a place to train ninjas, but a training ground for cannon fodder! I even saw a four-year-old Uchiha on the battlefield! Is this the Konoha that Hashirama and Tobirama passed down?"

After being verbally abused by "Uchiha Madara," Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju's expressions immediately turned extremely ugly.

"The original purpose of Konoha was to protect young children and prevent them from going to the battlefield while they are still too young! The 'Will of Fire,' which is trusted by everyone, is to prevent tragedies like those of my two younger brothers from happening again in the ninja world!"

Hashirama Senju turned around and started hurling insults at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Are you trying to make the tender green leaves burn to illuminate us withered leaves? Sarutobi, I never taught you this kind of will of fire!"

After being berated by the First Hokage who founded Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi was utterly humiliated and indignant. His old face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, and he was completely ashamed.

Mitokado Yanagi, Koharu Utatane looked pale, and Danzo Shimura was even more shocked.

"Why does Madara Uchiha know so much about Root? Has he been monitoring the entire ninja world all along?!"

After talking about Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hashirama Senju began talking about Tobirama Senju.

"Tobirama, I can understand the Anbu, but why did you create Root? The Anbu is the Hokage's direct assassination force, why use Root to counterbalance it? Since you chose that monkey to be Hokage, you should trust him!"

"Root is far darker than the Anbu! In my eyes, they aren't ninjas at all, but tools! How can people be treated as tools?!"

Chapter 363 The Allied Powers' Vision

"Because light and shadow are inseparable, while darkness resides in people's hearts. Even the brightest person has dark places deep within their heart."

Tobirama Senju explained.

"The Hokage has too much power. I need to prevent the village from being led into the abyss because of the Hokage's willful actions. Besides, I never expected that Root would develop into this way under Danzo's control."

He glared fiercely at Shimura Danzo, making Shimura Danzo both afraid and angry.

Back then, because he answered a question a second too late, Hiruzen Sarutobi became the Hokage.

If he were the Hokage now, and Sarutobi were Root, things would never have turned out this way!

The meeting room fell silent for a moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others realized that they had lost the initiative after the appearance of the First and Second Hokage.

Madara Uchiha left behind mostly a bad reputation in Konoha, but with the support of the First and Second Hokage, things were completely different.

Furthermore, the village's relationship with the Uchiha clan is currently very bad, and they will most likely side with Uchiha Madara.

Moreover, Madara Uchiha possessed extremely powerful strength, and with the help of two Hokage, they were simply no match for him!

“We’re all dead now, there’s no point in saying this.”

Soon, Hashirama Senju asked Xia Zhi.

"Ban, what are you thinking?"

"The foundation of peace is understanding between people, or rather, putting yourself in someone else's shoes. If everyone can understand each other's difficulties and support one another, then many things will not happen."

"And what should people rely on to understand each other? It should be based on equality!"

Xia Zhi began to expound his theory of peace.

"There are too many countries in the ninja world! The five great nations of Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Water, plus countless smaller nations like Rain, Hot Springs, Grass, and Iron. The great nations are constantly fighting amongst themselves and bullying the ninjas of the smaller nations. Under these circumstances, peace is simply wishful thinking!"

"Therefore, I want to unify the ninja world and turn it into one country! In this way, everyone will be an equal citizen, bound by the same laws! Only with an equal status can people have a platform to understand each other."

"This is one of the few thoughts that I share with Madara."

Tobirama Senju agreed with the proposal.

He glanced at Hashirama Senju.

"I wanted to do this from the beginning, but you always disagreed, brother. If we had pacified the ninja world earlier, there wouldn't have been these three Shinobi World Wars!"

At this point, Hashirama Senju had no way to refute it.

Indeed. He had only been dead for less than forty years, and yet three major wars had broken out, affecting the entire ninja world, completely contrary to their initial expectations of establishing the village for peace.

Originally intended to counterbalance each other, the tailed beasts became weapons of war in the hands of the other four nations, causing enormous casualties.

After explaining the thought process, Xia Zhi began to explain the method.

"First, I want to abolish the organization of all countries! The entire ninja world combined is only one country! All existing countries will be converted into administrative regions. For example, the Fire Administrative Region, the Earth Administrative Region, the Wind Administrative Region, and so on."

"No! I don't agree!"

Upon hearing Xia Zhi's words, Shimura Danzo jumped up.

"Don't even mention me disagreeing; other countries certainly wouldn't agree either! Uniting the entire ninja world into one country is unprecedented!"

"I'm not discussing this with you. Besides, Hiruzen Sarutobi is the Hokage; you're just the janitor responsible for cleaning up the trash."

Xia Zhi gave Shimura Danzo a cold look.

The gaze, carrying a hint of murderous intent, sent a chill down his spine, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"For the sake of lasting peace, I believe temporary suffering is acceptable. If the shadow disagrees, we'll change the shadow; if the village disagrees, we'll change the village; if the country disagrees, we'll change the daimyo!"

"In this world, ninjas are only a small part of the population; the majority are ordinary people! No matter who is gone from the world, the sun will still rise the next day!"

Xia Zhi made this very clear.

If anyone disagrees, then it's over, and they won't see the sun rise the next day!

Hiruzen Sarutobi and his companions felt very aggrieved, and Nawaki Senju was also very unhappy.

However, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Mito Uzumaki all had knowing expressions on their faces, as if to say, "This is the Madara Uchiha I know."

Ban is never an easy guy to talk to!

Xia Zhijiang turned to the side to face Senju Hashirama.

"Hashirama, let us work together to complete the unfinished business and bring lasting peace to the ninja world!"

Hearing Xia Zhi say this, Senju Hashirama was very interested.

But his philosophy is that only the living have the right to manage the affairs of the living, and the dead shouldn't be bothered with so much.

"Actually, you and Tobirama together also..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tobirama Senju immediately interrupted Hashirama Senju.

He said it in a cold tone.

"Big brother. I would never have cooperated with Madara Uchiha without you."

Xia Zhi also snorted coldly.

"Hmph. Do you think I summoned Tobirama Senju from the Pure Land because of anyone's sake?"

Hashirama Senju: ...

Seeing his expression, Mito Uzumaki made her move.

"Sorry, please give me a moment."

She grabbed Hashirama Senju's hand and pulled him aside, saying several things to him. Hashirama Senju's expression slowly changed.

Soon, the two returned, and Hashirama Senju smiled and extended his hand to Xia Zhi.

"Then, Madara, let's work together to pacify the entire ninja world!"

"That's pretty much it."

Summer Solstice clapped the hand that Hashirama Senju had extended.

Chakra belonging to Yin-Yang Release was injected into Hashirama Senju's body.

The next moment, under everyone's gaze, the numerous tattered cracks on Hashirama Senju's resurrected body began to heal.

"Huh?!"

To Hashirama Senju's astonishment, his body, originally resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, rapidly transformed into a living human body!

He touched his body, feeling his heart beating again, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Madara, what kind of technique is this? You resurrected me?"

Not only Madara Uchiha, but everyone else was also extremely surprised.

Death is the only way through the ages.

Immortality has been the dream of countless people throughout history.

Tobirama Senju was also surprised—how come he didn't know that the Impure World Reincarnation could revive the dead?

This is clearly a technique he developed.

"This is the Rinne Rebirth Technique of my Rinnegan, which can bring the dead back to life."

Xia Zhi pointed to her eyes.

"Reincarnation Eye?"

Hashirama Senju blinked.

"I was just about to ask, Madara, why have your eyes turned into circles?"

Xia Zhi began to explain.

"Because they are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, combined with the Wood Release of the Senju clan, which is Yin Release and Yang Release, can awaken the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, the Rinnegan."

"The Rinnegan possesses extremely powerful abilities, and resurrecting the dead is just one of them. Otherwise, why do you think I called Mito and Nawaki out as well?"

Chapter 364 Konoha Regresses by Forty Years

The Reincarnation Technique does indeed have the ability to revive the dead, but Xia Zhi did not use the Reincarnation Technique.

Because the Reincarnation Technique requires the caster to pay the price of their own life to revive the dead, Xia Zhi would never do such a thing!

He used the Black Mud version of resurrection magic, materializing the soul and giving it a physical form.

It's true that Hashirama Senju was resurrected, but Xia Zhi also tampered with his soul, corrupting it with human evil.

This can work from the soul's consciousness, changing how others perceive you.

For example, Hashirama Senju. He regarded Madara Uchiha as "a close friend to whom he would give his life, but whose bottom line could not be crossed."

For example, Konoha is the bottom line.

However, after his "good brother Uchiha Madara" revived him, and considering that Uchiha Madara had left in anger because almost no one except the Uchiha clan voted for him during the Konoha Hokage election, he felt deeply guilty.

Thus, in Hashirama Senju's mind, Madara Uchiha would become "a close friend who would still give his life to help him even if he crossed his bottom line, as long as it was still acceptable."

The same applies to Tobirama Senju.

Xia Zhi patted him on the back, releasing a massive amount of life energy mixed with a little bit of black mud.

In this world, Xia Zhi did not sit idly by and squander her resources, but instead used the "evil" of this world to cultivate new black mud.

Over the years, the ninja world has been filled with killing and hatred, which is almost etched into the blood of every ninja.

Although the ninja world has a small population, barely enough to reach a small goal, it is rife with evil.

After being submerged in the black mud, Tobirama Senju's perception of Madara Uchiha will gradually shift from "a target to be wary of and killed if necessary" to "unifying the ninja world is the priority. After unifying the ninja world, we must find a way to deal with him."

Mito Uzumaki views Natsumi as "her husband's good brother," while Nawaki Senju views her as "a powerful senior who is on par with her grandfather, a ninja world demon, who saved her life, and whom she can be close to."

Watching four dead men come back to life, the Konoha authorities, led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, were speechless.

Upon his resurrection, Tobirama Senju immediately assumed Hokage mode and began issuing orders to his disciples.

"Sarutobi. Once the ninja forces return, have the Anbu summon all clan leaders, heads of key departments, and Jonin from the villages for a meeting. Danzo, take me to the current Root headquarters."

This is clearly an attempt to seize power.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were powerless to resist and could only nod in agreement.

Danzo Shimura also realized that his dream of becoming Hokage was completely shattered after the First and Second Hokage were resurrected.
