If you don't want to unify the ninja world, why are you crying about the ninja village system?

Uchiha Madara glared at Hashirama, his eyes full of questioning.

Hashirama looked confused, "Madara, what are you talking about? I didn't do that."

Uchiha Madara snorted coldly, "You still want to quibble? My Mangekyō Sharingan can't be wrong, and besides you, who else can use Wood Release?"

Uchiha Madara's question echoed in the Hokage's office like thunder. The air seemed to freeze and the tense atmosphere was almost suffocating.

Hashirama's expression quickly changed from blank to serious. He knew Uchiha Madara's character very well. Once he decided on something, it would be difficult for him to turn back.

"Banara, I understand how you feel, but this is definitely not what I did."

Hashirama spoke firmly, trying to calm Uchiha Madara's anger, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He knew very well that with Madara's character, such a misunderstanding would only deepen the rift between the two sides and might even lead to irreparable consequences.

Just as the two were confronting each other, Tobirama appeared silently at the door. His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through all illusions.

Tobirama slowly walked into the room, stood beside Hashirama, looked directly at Uchiha Madara, and said calmly and forcefully: "Madara, you misunderstood. We did not attack any Uchiha clan members, nor did we use Wood Release to attack."

Uchiha Madara sneered, his Mangekyō Sharingan flashing with a dangerous light. He did not believe the two brothers' words at all: "Besides you, who else can control such a huge wooden dragon? Don't tell me that there is anyone else in Konoha who knows this forbidden technique!"

Tobirama shook his head slightly, as if he had expected Uchiha Madara's reaction: "Madara, you know that we are not the only two people in Konoha who possess powerful power. In recent years, Konoha's Anbu has trained a group of elites, many of whom have special talents. Moreover, regarding Wood Release, although it originated from the Senju clan, it does not mean that only we can use it. You overlooked the most important point - illusion."

"Illusion?" Uchiha Madara frowned, an ominous premonition rising in his heart.

Tobirama continued to explain: "What you experienced was most likely a carefully designed illusion. Someone took advantage of your familiarity with Wood Release and your wariness of Hashirama to create this misunderstanding. The purpose was to alienate you and me, and even to provoke a war between the Uchiha and Senju."

Hashiraka took over the conversation, his voice heavy: "Madara, we were friends and comrades. How could I easily attack your people? Not to mention using such despicable means. Please believe me, and believe in your own judgment."

At this moment, the light in the Hokage's office suddenly dimmed, and the surroundings were covered with complex runes, and a strange energy fluctuation filled the air.

Uchiha Madara's heart suddenly shook, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

When he reacted, he was horrified to find that he had fallen into a carefully designed trap!

But at this moment, everything was too late. An invisible force so powerful that it was suffocating bound his body tightly like shackles, making him unable to move at all.

In the blink of an eye, Hashirama and Tobirama, who had been hiding their presence, suddenly attacked at the same time like ghosts.

Hashirama used an astonishingly powerful wood binding technique, and countless thick branches quickly wrapped around Uchiha Madara like snakes; at the same time, Tobirama ruthlessly used all the forbidden techniques he mastered, and for a moment, the fierce attack swept towards the trapped Madara like a storm.

In fact, the reason why Uchiha Madara fell into the trap so easily was, firstly, because the incident happened in the heavily guarded Hokage's office, and he had never expected to encounter an ambush here; secondly, because the attitude of Hashirama and Tobirama towards him seemed friendly and nothing unusual, he unconsciously relaxed his vigilance.

Who could have thought that just a moment of negligence would lead to him being successfully restrained and firmly controlled by the other party in an instant!

At this moment, even if he possessed the unparalleled power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, he had no way to use it and could only watch those fatal attacks approaching him.

Tobirama looked expressionlessly at Uchiha Madara who was unable to resist in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible indifferent smile.

He slowly said, "Madara... I'm really sorry, but there's nothing we can do about it. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being too strong. If we don't take this opportunity to subdue you, it will be a huge hidden danger for our Konoha Village."

After saying that, he paused for a moment, then added: "Moreover, the threat you pose to Konoha Village is too great. Although we once founded this village together, it now seems that your existence has gradually deviated from the original intention."

Tobirama sighed softly and continued, "Haha, but people always grow old. No matter how glorious or powerful they were, they can't escape the erosion of time. Madara, I have to admit that you are really old."

After saying that, Tobirama walked step by step towards the restrained Uchiha Madara.

When he came closer, he stopped, reached out and gently stroked the clothes on Uchiha Madara, which were made of special material unique to the Uchiha clan.

"Ninja's clothes are never so clean and tidy!"

Tobirama's tone was firm and serious, as if this was an indisputable fact.

"The clothes should be soaked with sweat, mixed with mud, and even stained with the blood of the enemy! Only in this way can we truly show the hard battles and life-and-death tests that a ninja has experienced."

He then added, his eyes revealing a deep understanding of the way of the ninja.

"Moreover, that clothing must be tattered, covered with scratches, tears and traces of time. Only if it looks like this can it be called a ninja!"

Tobirama's voice was filled with emotion.

"Madara, look at what you look like now. You are old. The powerful and feared ninja you once were is no longer there."

Tobirama pointed at Uchiha Madara and accused him mercilessly.

"In the past two years, you have lived an easy and comfortable life. However, it is this seemingly good life that has gradually eroded your once tough heart. You only think about fighting for power, but forget the original intention of constantly practicing and improving yourself as a ninja. With such a mentality, how can you resist us who have always regarded you as a big threat?"

At the end, there was a hint of sarcasm and contempt in Tobirama's words.

Although Uchiha Madara's eyes were wide open with anger at this moment, his body was unable to move at all. He could only watch himself fall step by step into the trap carefully designed by the other party.

His heart was like a mixture of mixed emotions.

On the one hand, he was filled with anger and distrust towards Hashirama and Tobirama; on the other hand, he felt extremely regretful and self-blame for having fallen into the trap so easily.
