Chapter 17

After Yun spoke about his aspirations, the wind swept past them, picked up leaves, and formed the word [Truth]. It lingered in the air for a while, and then the leaves scattered everywhere.

After a long silence, Hashirama suddenly smiled and smacked his lips and said, "Can you tell me... what you want from me?"

Yun shook his head slightly and, after thinking for a moment, said, "If you are sure you want to know, then the information about you and Madara can be combined. If you buy them together, I can give you a discount. How about two Chips?"

Hashirama thought for a moment and shook his head: "I only need information about Madara, and I will only pay you one Chip, and for all these trades I will only spend that. It doesn't matter what you need, Wood Style or my enormous chakra, in the end, you only have to choose one of the two."

Hashirama Senju's face gradually became serious: "The Uzumaki Clan has been destroyed, Wood Style or Sage Body, you can take this exchange as my compensation to your clan."

Yun smiled and replied, "One of the two heroes of the Warring States Age, the Ninja God and the First Hokage of Konoha. With so many titles, your one Chip really can't be compared with the Chips of ordinary people."

"Then... information about Madara Uchiha for now is as you want. Contract".

The contract appeared out of nowhere, and Hashirama Senju agreed immediately upon first glance.

"Although I don't fully understand the "for now" supplement, the future is uncertain. Secretly adding loopholes to a contract in front of a ninja who lived through the Warring States Age, you're a smart guy from the Uzumaki clan."

Having said this, Hashirama Senju smiled, even if it was a spiritual body, confidence in his abilities could be seen in his eyes.

The contract is concluded and the transaction begins.

"Uchiha Madara, dead."

? ? ?

After finishing his words and seeing the stunned expression on the Ninja God's face, Yun barely managed to hold back his laughter.

Hashirama lowered his head, leaned closer and said threateningly: "Young man, if you play like this, accidents may occur. Do you know the dangerous Nine-Tailed Demon Fox? When I put my wooden hand on his muzzle, he could not move. I couldn't move!"

Yun took two steps back, moving away from Hashirama's face.

"God separates Yin and Yang into two poles to achieve stability. They interact in opposite directions to form everything. This is a truth that applies to everything in the world. In other words, two opposing forces complement each other to achieve true Peace."

Yun said, looking at Hashirama, this is what Madara said back then to Hashirama in the Uchiha clan.

And also this information is in the first half of the stele.

"That time Madara told you about the Uchiha clan stone tablet, but he didn't say what he learned from the end of that text."

"Two diametrically opposed forces are personified by the Uchiha and the Senju, and complementing each other can also be understood as a fusion. At the end of the battle in the Valley of the End, Madara took a bite of your flesh."

"With the help of Izanagi, Madara survived. And in fact, his understanding of the two opposing forces represented by your clans is not incorrect. The combination of the powers of the Uchiha and the Senju, or rather the special combination of you and him, allows you to obtain the ability of the Sage of the Six Paths."

"A power surpassing the Mangekyo Sharingan, the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths... the Rinnegan!"

Hashirama wondered, "Then why did Madara die? With the power of such eyes, without my presence in Konoha, absolutely no one could stop him."

Yun shook his head slightly, "It is not easy to obtain the power of the Sage of the Six Paths, and even after merging the two powers, Madara was unable to develop the Rinnegan for a long time until he was close to death due to old age."

Hearing all this, Hashirama Senju tilted his head to look at Yun and couldn't hide his desire to kill someone right now.

And Yun also understood what Hashirama was thinking now: Is that all? Such a small piece of information? Is it worth the chips? Didn't he already die of old age? How can Madara, whose soul is already in the Pure World, threaten Konoha?

And so on!

Hashirama remembered the previous scene of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, what happened in the original story, there was no hint of a lie in space.

So...

"The Outer Path is the Samsara Technique of Heavenly Life. The Rinnegan has the power to bring people back to life, and the cost of this technique is the life of the user."

Yun continued to speak slowly, "To revive others at the expense of his own life, Madara had to find someone who could withstand the power of the Rinnegan. And in the ninja world, the physique known to be able to withstand even tailed beasts... the Uzumaki clan!"

"He left what he considered the embodiment of his will to control the young member of the Uchiha clan. Now Madara is just waiting for the last point in his plan to be fulfilled. And then not only Konoha, but the entire ninja world will be destroyed."

"That's all for information on Madara Uchiha for now."

Hashirama's eyes were serious, he sighed and hovered in the air for a while, looking at every corner of Konoha under the Hokage Rock.

This is the beginning of his dream of peace. For the sake of peace, he gave up the last drop of dignity of the strongest man.

For the sake of peace, he is ready to pierce his heart.

For the sake of peace, he finally killed his best friend.

But even now... the world is still not moving in the direction he hoped for.

"Information is limited to the present moment; it turns out there is a lot of information concerning the future. The embodiment of his own will now behind Madara's plan is probably not as simple as one might think."

"I'm just a dead man. My soul has already returned to the Pure World, but I still cannot rest in peace. The only thing I can do is wait for the Resurrection of the Unholy World and hope that the spellcaster does not suppress my consciousness. And yet I don't know how long it will take."

Looking at Hashirama Senju full of emotions, Yun sighed helplessly.

I have to admit that some people are truly born with a unique charm, there are even some words of the First Hokage that are more convincing than Naruto's. But…

"Dear First Hokage, time has shown that your initial approach was wrong."

Hashirama looked back and Yun continued, "In less than fifty years from the founding of Konoha until today, three large-scale wars have already broken out in the Ninja World."

"By bringing together clan and civilian ninja to create ninja villages, this form eventually led to larger scale wars. And all this happened after your death. Do you know why?

Hashirama shook his head slightly.

"Because of your strength! The power of the Wood Style influences the entire ninja world, and the name of the Ninja God makes everyone afraid to act rashly. Since Hashirama Senju wants peace, no one in the ninja world will dare to fight."

Hearing this, Hashirama became silent.

When the breeze died down, Hashirama Senju raised his head slightly: "Absolute power creates absolute darkness. The longer you hold onto great power, the more darkness is generated. Maybe I really was wrong, but how can people move forward? My soul is already in the Pure World, and I can only warn, not show the way."

Hashirama Senju said as he hovered in front of Yun and smiled, "Madara is actually quite stupid, although you didn't say it directly, but from your words I can understand that he must have been used by someone."

"I would not like to see the death of the ninja world, and I think that you, with your dreams, will not like this either. That's why…"
