[NARUTO] Night of the Full Moon

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Madara very much in recent times." Sasuke suddenly said during lunch.

"The rude guy's name is Brother Madara." Izuna glared at Sasuke, "Brother is mainly practicing on the Nanga River. After all, it's better to practice fire escape in a place with water."

"Nanga River? That's outside the clan area, right." Sasuke recalled the map he had been looking at before. The Nanga River is just outside Konoha Village, and several canals and lakes in the village draw water from there.

"It is indeed outside the clan area, and the distance is not too far. But it is still dangerous, and you are generally not allowed to go there." This is also one of the manifestations of Madara's superior strength.

"That means it's not very dangerous, right?" Nanga River is a landmark that will not change for decades. Now that we know that there are two places, it is likely that all the locations correspond.If it wasn't too dangerous, Sasuke would still like to take a look.

"What? Are you going to find your brother?" Quan Nai asked matter-of-factly.

"is it okay?"

"Well... you have made a lot of progress recently. Since my brother is there, you should be fine." Quan Nai thought about it carefully, and finally warned in a brotherly manner, "If you don't find your brother, come back as soon as possible. .”

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Before going out, Sasuke changed out of the clothes with the Uchiha clan crest, and was told by Izuna not to reveal his last name outside, and to be as concealed as possible when walking, before finally letting him go.

Sasuke did not dare to underestimate the dangers of the Warring States Period. He listened carefully to what Izuna said and walked along the path covered by bushes.

However, Sasuke's ability to recognize directions still needs to be improved. When he came out of the forest and could see the big river, he realized that he seemed to have gone astray.He was almost at the top of the mountain, and the river named Nanga River was apparently at the bottom.

But now that we have reached the top of the mountain, we should first look to see if we can see anyone. Sasuke was about to move to a place with a better perspective, but unexpectedly heard Madara's voice.

"No matter what, I have to protect my last two brothers!"

Sasuke subconsciously moved closer to hide.

That voice was indeed Madara's... Sasuke had heard it before. Madara originally had five brothers, but they all died in the mission, leaving only him and Izuna.As for the two younger brothers, that includes Sasuke.

"Let's build a village of our own here! A village where children don't have to kill each other!" Another crisp voice sounded, "In order for children to thrive, we need to build a school to train them, and then follow the instructions The abilities of each of them are assigned appropriate tasks! Oh, in this case, there will also be an organization that can accurately define the difficulty of the tasks. Anyway, it is my ideal village without sending children to dangerous battlefields!"

"You are the only one who dares to be so whimsical." Madara struck.

"Eh? Then you..."

"But it doesn't sound bad."

When Sasuke heard the clear laughter of the two, his heart was shocked.

Is this the original idea of ​​Konoha?Protect your children so they don’t have to go to the battlefield.Such a grand vision actually came from a half-grown boy.

In this case, the owner of that strange voice is... the first Hokage - Senju Hashirama.

"If I succeed, I will put my brother...in this village and protect him well."

Uchiha Madara, Shura in the ninja world, was the first rebel ninja in the history of Konoha.

It is wrong to exchange the lives of children for victory in the war!

Konoha spent six years trying to destroy Konoha.

I want to put my brother in this village and protect him well.

Sasuke, who was extremely confused inside, made a sound without realizing it.It immediately caught their attention.

"Who?" Hashirama shouted, jumping up and getting into a fighting stance.

Although there was absolutely no one passing by nearby, it was suspicious to go out of his way to hide.

Madara seemed to sense the familiar chakra, and quickly stopped him: "Wait!"

When Sasuke raised his head, he saw the two men carefully surrounding him, and his whole body was shrouded in their shadow.

"Sasuke?" Madara pulled up Sasuke who was squatting in the bushes with a surprised look on his face, "Why are you here?"

"I...I came to find you and got lost." Sasuke didn't dare to look into Madara's eyes.

But Sasuke's appearance made Madara think of something else: "Father asked you to come?"

He has indeed been traveling outside the clan a bit frequently recently.After all, it was hard to find a partner who was like-minded and equally powerful, so he lost his sense of proportion.

"No, I wanted to come here." Sasuke didn't know what Madara meant by asking, but he still explained carefully, "I want to come out and have a look, Izumi...well, he said you are practicing here in Nanhe River. Then if you are here, I should be able to let me come if nothing happens."

"Eh? Is he Madara's younger brother?" The watermelon-headed boy tilted his head and looked at him, "He looks similar."

After confirming that his whereabouts were not suspected, Madara felt relieved, rubbed Sasuke's hair and replied: "Isn't this natural?"

"But my brother is nothing like me." As he said that, the boy hugged his knees and squatted down, feeling depressed.

"Hey! You guy! Get up, I don't want my brother to think that I'm friends with weird people." Madara clenched his fists, looking like he wanted to give the other person a violent shudder.

Madara was... so lively in front of this person.Whether it was due to the other party's character or because he had let go of the burden of being the eldest son of the clan and the high expectations placed on him, Madara behaved more like a young man at this moment.

"Hahaha! Hello, my name is Hashirama." The boy quickly jumped up like a normal person and greeted Sasuke with a smile, "I'm Madara's friend."

"Friend...?" Sasuke looked at the person in front of him, and it turned out to be Senju Hashirama.

After staying in the Warring States Period for so long, he certainly knew that Senju and Uchiha had always been incompatible.Although they finally established a village together, Madara was still labeled as a traitor and ended up fighting Hashirama and died.These two people turned out to be friends at first.

Moreover, building a village is still the dream shared by these two people.

Sasuke unconsciously tightened his grip on Madara's sleeve.

Madara had been carefully paying attention to Sasuke's performance.In this chaotic era, making friends with foreigners who don’t know your roots and introducing yourself carelessly is enough to make people feel incredible.But Sasuke didn't look like an accident at all, but... he was thinking about something deeper.

Although a long time had passed, Madara and Sasuke still met only a handful of times, and he still didn't understand each other well enough.It feels like Sasuke is always thinking about very heavy things.

"What's wrong? Don't you like him?" Madara tried to draw Sasuke's attention back.

"Eh - am I really not lovable?" Hashirama looked like he was about to feel depressed again.

Sasuke shook his head.

"I heard what you just said. Build a village...do you think so too?" As if to confirm something, Sasuke looked at Madara.

"This is indeed difficult, and it sounds like a fantasy." Madara held Sasuke's hand holding his sleeve, "But doesn't Sasuke think a place like that is great? You just need to grow up well and don't have to worry about it anytime. Even if you lose your life, your partners who grew up together will not suddenly disappear again. No one will be sacrificed..."

Madara showed the blueprint in front of Sasuke, and it looked impressive enough.

Sasuke has experienced these wonderful things firsthand.Children will not be surrounded by the threat of death from an early age and practice hard. The daily worries mainly come from the approval of parents and friends, being picky about food and clothing, and discussing all kinds of complicated, trivial and irrelevant things... For people of this era For me, living a mediocre life is the most precious beauty.

But not without sacrifice.

Sasuke thought about Madara's importance to his younger brother, the unrecorded name of Izuna, and the ending of Madara rebelling against the village and fighting Hashirama and dying. Even the Uchiha clan no longer exists.

Does it all make sense?

Sasuke closed his eyes.

It was all too complicated for him.He couldn't even figure out what was going on with that man, so how could he influence Madara's position?

If that's what you're hoping for...

"You will definitely succeed!" Sasuke said with a smile.

"Leave it to my brothers." Madara responded seriously, as if he had promised something.

"Madara's younger brother..." Hashirama was exaggeratedly moved to the point of tears, "Wow! Madara's younger brother is so cute! I'm really inspired! Wow... when I told my brother about it, he just said They will despise my naivety..."

Madara also disliked Hashirama's appearance very much at this moment, and even raised his sleeves to block Sasuke's eyes: "You don't have the majesty of an elder brother. If you look like this at home, it will be really hard to convince people."

However, Madara is also convinced that his younger brother is very cute.Therefore, such a cute little brother must be protected well!

Even though Sasuke's eyes were blocked, the image of the tall and majestic Senju Hashirama, the first Hokage in the history textbook in his mind quickly collapsed.

He is clearly a leader who created a new era, but his personality is too out of the ordinary.For some reason, Sasuke thought of the guy who always shouted big words that he must become Hokage... People with high ambitions are always different?

However, the person who will be regarded as a friend by Madara, even if he behaves in such an indescribable manner now, his strength must be equal to Madara and should not be underestimated.

After such a fuss, when it was time to say goodbye, Madara took a few steps back and told Hashirama to reduce their interactions in the future.

Hashirama also understood that their behavior of running out every day was too eye-catching, and their vigilance was so low that they could not even notice Sasuke's arrival, so they really needed to be alert.So I agreed without any objection.

Sasuke, who followed the calm-looking Madara back to his clan, didn't know yet that because of his appearance, the future development of this node had quietly changed.

The reversal of time gradually reveals its amazing power
