Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

Senju Tobirama stood in front of the window with his back to the desk. A gloomy face was reflected on the smooth glass.

After a few days' rest, his injuries recovered somewhat, but his complexion still did not improve, as if he had suddenly aged by dozens of years.

In fact, he had already learned everything from Jing. After learning that Shen Yu would not attack Konoha for the time being, he moved back to the village from the secret base.

A few days ago, Jing teleported to the base through the "Flying Thunder God Technique" and reported the battle situation to Tobirama.

In addition to the five-year agreement, he wrote down everything that happened between him and Shen Yu in the mission report, including the fight between the two and what they said to each other.

Of course, things like the transaction with Shen Yu and the voluntary donation of his eyes in exchange for five years... were all glossed over by Jing.

This simple explanation certainly could not fool Tobirama, so Jing explained the reason why Shen Yu retreated:

Kaneki's real purpose is not to destroy Konoha Village, but to obtain his own Mangekyō Sharingan.

Tobirama nodded frequently as he listened, because he knew that Madara gained such powerful power because he transplanted the eyes of the dead Izuna.

Jing explained that due to the nature of his pupil technique, Shen Yu had no way to deal with him. If he used too light a move, he would not be able to defeat him, but if he used too heavy a move, he would damage Xin Xin Nian's eyes.

Therefore, even if he had the power to destroy himself in an instant, he would still be cautious and limited in what he could do.

Tobirama was so smart that he grasped the key point almost instantly and raised his doubts:

"Didn't he threaten you with the village?"

The mirror's answer is:

"Yes, in that case I will destroy my own eyes directly, and he will have no choice but to retreat in anger."

In response, Tobirama first praised his disciple's will of fire for sacrificing his life for justice, and then gave a serious admonition:

"Be careful, Shen Yu will not give up on the eye-catching, so you must be alert in the future and not give him any chance to take advantage of you."

Tobirama was a cautious man. He read the mission report handed in by Jing over and over again, word by word, trying to understand Shenyu's intentions and analyze the intelligence.

Then he came to a horrifying conclusion.

With his current strength, if he appeared in Shen Yu's sight, he would be dead.

In addition, there was another piece of news that concerned him very much.

When the two brothers were fighting in the Valley of the End, Kagami was accidentally punched into the chest of the Uchiha Madara statue by Shenyu, and Shenyu accidentally blurted out a sentence:

"Oh, how unlucky! It took Master Ban six years to grow this piece of meat."

Meat?

Wound?

What kind of injury would take 6 years to heal?

Speaking of which, after the great battle that year, Tobirama rushed to his brother's side first and noticed a blood scab on his shoulder.

That wound wasn't caused by any blunt or sharp object, it was more like... a bite mark.

But because he had to concentrate on dealing with Shenyu at that time, he didn't care. He just sneered at Madara in his heart, saying that a man who had been pursuing elegance in battle all his life actually showed such a beastly side.

Could it be that... Madara bit off a piece of his elder brother's flesh back then?

He vaguely sensed that there was something strange about this matter. Uchiha Madara... was very likely to have transplanted his brother's flesh and blood.

This couldn't help but arouse his great suspicion?

Why did Ban do this?

Could it be that by combining the power of the Senju and Uchiha, one can awaken a stronger power?

On that rainy night 6 years ago, Ban faked his death and escaped, and has disappeared from everyone's sight since then. What was he planning behind the scenes?

He was silent for a long time, puzzled.

But he didn't have time to think about these things now, because there were more serious situations waiting for him to deal with.

On the day he returned to the village, he also brought back a body and a sad news.

His elder brother, Hashirama Senju, died.

His own injuries were severe and difficult to heal, leaving him with a chronic illness. Once his chakra erupted, he would feel as if his heart was being cut by a knife and his life was hanging by a thread. He had lost his Kage-level combat ability.

This is a very serious internal injury. It will take at least ten or eight years to fully recover.

That night, all the senior executives held a meeting, and a fierce argument broke out in the conference room of the Hokage Building.

80% of people believe that the death of Hokage should not be announced, especially in such a critical situation as Sasuke Sarutobi died and Tobirama Senju was seriously injured.

The new generation has not yet grown up, and the village is already seriously lacking in Kage-level combat power. If this is announced at this time, it would be tantamount to showing weakness to the other four major ninja villages!

The other 20% of representatives, led by the Senju clan, believed that Hashirama Senju devoted his entire life to the cause. He not only founded the Konoha Village, but also set a precedent and ended the Warring States Period. With such great achievements, such a person deserves a grand funeral so that people all over the world can mourn him. He should not die in obscurity.

Both sides held their own opinions and the argument continued. Finally, Uzumaki Mito spoke up and insisted on holding the funeral, but there was no need to announce it to the world, only to notify all the villagers of Konoha.

To this, Tobirama could only frown and agree.

He actually stands on the side of rationality. This method of covering one's ears and stealing the bell will not be concealed for long.

So, three days later, Konoha Village held a grand funeral for the "God of Ninja", and all the villagers of Konoha came to observe a moment of silence.

As the sad and solemn eulogy was slowly read, everyone burst into tears, mourning the 'Ninja God' who pacified the troubled times.

The real cause of his death was kept secret by the top brass, and the only announcement to the public was that he died of exhaustion and old age.

But Tobirama knew very well that when Kamiya attacked Konoha that night, the Kages from the other four major ninja villages were all present!

Once the news leaked out, anyone with a discerning eye would see that it was Kamiya who killed the "God of Ninja".

But this is not all bad news.

Tobirama once used the information that "Madara faked his death outside" to scare the other four countries for six years, so now he must make use of Kamiya's notoriety.

He pressed his temples, but the fatigue in his eyes could not be dispelled.

On the night of Hashirama's burial, he was unanimously voted by the top leaders to become the "Second Hokage" of Konoha Village.

Although the work he did when his eldest brother was still alive was not much different from what he does now, it was only when he actually sat in this position that he realized the responsibility and pressure of being a Hokage.

The current situation of the village is not optimistic. There are only a few Kage-level warriors with the highest combat power left.

The three most capable fighters were either dead or disabled, and the patriarchs of the major families had been living in comfort for too long and neglected training, and had long since devoted more time to fighting for power. Except for Hinata Harukaze, none of them had the strength of the Kage level they once had.

The strongest of the new generation, such as Hiruzen, Danzo and others, are only at the level of a mere jonin.

The previous wave is not enough, the next wave has not yet followed, powerful enemies are all around, and there are internal and external troubles!

wrong!

Tobirama suddenly looked up, with a gleam in his eyes.

There is another one...Uchiha Mirror!

In the Uchiha clan's territory, Jing suddenly sneezed, scaring the girl in front of him, and the three-colored dango in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop".

"Oh, sorry, Yuko, let me take you to buy another bunch."

The girl blushed and shook her head, her black ponytail swaying. "No need, Jing-jun, you've been under a lot of pressure lately, you have to take care of yourself."

Jing scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Taking care of you is the task assigned to me by the clan leader. After all, you are his biological sister."

"Actually..." Uchiha Yuko put her hands behind her back and stood on tiptoe shyly, "Mirror-kun, you don't have to take this as a task..."

She opened her beautiful eyes wide, a hint of courage flashed in her black eyes, she raised her head, pecked Jing lightly on the face, then ran away with a red face.

Only Jing was left standing there dumbfounded...
