Black Zetsu, an entity born of the will and ambitions of Kaguya Otsutsuki, observed the epic clash between the Uchiha and Senju, particularly focusing on Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan. The intensity and brilliance of Madara's eyes left an indelible impression on Black Zetsu, and a conviction formed within him—the belief that Madara had the potential to awaken the Rinnegan.
Driven by this newfound certainty, Black Zetsu made his way to the Naka Shrine, a sacred place of Uchiha clan. The inscriptions within the shrine held the key to unlocking the legendary Rinnegan. Knowing that the combination of Uchiha and Senju blood was crucial for this awakening, Black Zetsu manipulated the contents of the Naka Shrine to align with his belief.
"The combination of blood between Uchiha and Senju can awaken the Rinnegan. This eye has the power to bring about peace in the ninja world by activating the Mugen Tsukuyomi."
This altered text now stood as a beacon of hope for Black Zetsu, as he anticipated the resurrection of Kaguya Otsutsuki, his long-awaited mother. The belief that Madara, with his formidable power and the combination of Uchiha and Senju lineage, could become the harbinger of peace through the Rinnegan fueled Black Zetsu's machinations.
As the shadows of war began to fade and the village of Konoha emerged from the ashes of conflict, Black Zetsu worked tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring that the course of destiny would lead Madara to the path of awakening the Rinnegan.
Little did Madara know that the threads of fate were being woven by the unseen hand of Black Zetsu, who believed that the Rinnegan's power could usher in an era of tranquility, paving the way for Kaguya's return and the realization of her grand plan—the Mugen Tsukuyomi. The ninja world, unbeknownst to its inhabitants, was on the precipice of a profound transformation, guided by the schemes and ambitions of Black Zetsu. But this is story for later, now is the story of Konoha establishment.

The establishment of the hidden villages, particularly Konoha, marked a significant shift in the political landscape during the Sengoku Era. The rise of Konoha, led by the Senju and Uchiha clans, posed a potential threat to the established order, including the power dynamics involving the Daimyo and various ninja clans.
In the past, the lack of organized villages meant that Daimyo could hire mercenaries from different clans to serve their interests. This system allowed them to maintain control over their territories and eliminate any potential threats or opposition. However, with the emergence of hidden villages, where ninja were united under a common banner, the Daimyo faced a new challenge.
The unity of the Senju and Uchiha, two of the most powerful clans, created a force that other clans hesitated to oppose. The prospect of waging war against these formidable villages was a daunting one. The Daimyo, aware of the potential consequences, found themselves in a precarious position.
The hidden villages offered a level of stability and order that was previously absent. With skilled ninja coming together under a unified leadership, the villages became powerful entities capable of maintaining their autonomy. This shift concerned the Daimyo, who feared losing control over the territories they governed.
The reluctance of other clans to challenge the Senju and Uchiha further exacerbated the Daimyo's concerns. The lack of opposition suggested that the hidden villages were not only militarily formidable but also had garnered a degree of respect and recognition among the other clans.
As the news of the creation of Konoha spread, the Daimyo began to consider the implications of this new era. The balance of power was shifting, and the landscape of conflict and diplomacy was evolving. The Daimyo had to adapt to this changing reality, finding new ways to navigate the intricate web of relationships between the hidden villages, clans, and their own political interests. The emergence of Konoha signaled not only a new chapter in the history of the ninja world but also a challenge to the established norms and power structures of the Sengoku Era.
Hashirama's decision to separate the responsibilities between the military authority of Konoha and the governance of the Daimyo demonstrated a keen understanding of the broader social and political landscape. Influenced by Ashura's benevolent chakra, Hashirama was genuinely concerned about the welfare of civilians and those unable to wield chakra. By maintaining a clear distinction between military and governance, he aimed to create a system that prioritized both security and civilian well-being.
The Daimyo, responsible for overseeing the Land of Fire, found relief in this arrangement. They could continue to govern their territories, retain their status, and manage their wealth without direct interference from the military. This separation of powers eased the Daimyo's worries about losing control and provided them with a sense of stability in the midst of the changing geopolitical landscape.
The model implemented by Konoha served as an example for other ninja villages. Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and others adopted a similar system, recognizing the benefits of a structured governance that allowed for both military strength and civilian welfare.
However, not everyone within the newly established Konoha was entirely pleased with this arrangement. Uchiha Madara, known for his ambitious and strategic mindset, felt a sense of irritation. He believed that this period of relative peace offered a unique opportunity to strengthen Konoha's military power.
Madara: (with a sense of urgency) "Hashirama, I understand your concern for civilians, but we must not let our guard down. In times of peace, we should be preparing for the inevitable storms that may come. If we focus solely on governance, we risk vulnerability to external threats. Strength is our shield, and we must ensure it remains unyielding."
Madara's perspective highlighted the delicate balance between peace and preparedness. While Hashirama aimed for a harmonious coexistence within the village and its surroundings, Madara foresaw potential challenges that could threaten the newfound stability. The tension between these two visions would play a crucial role in shaping the future of Konoha and its approach to both governance and military strength.
