[Just as Tobirama was about to deliver the final blow to Madara, Hashirama's eyes widened, startling Tobirama so much that his body trembled.]
[Then Hashirama knelt beside Madara, who lay on the ground, and pleaded for cooperation between their clans.]
[Hearing the proposal, Madara immediately made several unreasonable demands.]
[Among these demands was that Hashirama Senju must commit suicide or kill Tobirama, and Madara would consider Hashirama's offer.]
[Hearing Madara's words, Tobirama panicked, fearing that his own brother might kill him for an old love.]
[Hashirama, after removing his armor and contemplating, picked up a kunai and prepared to strike himself.]
[Before he could act, a tear, full of theatricality, rolled down his cheek.]
[Uchiha Madara was finally moved by Hashirama's tears, and the two reconciled.]
[But who is Hashirama going to fool? Can he, a walking God Tree, really commint suicide using a kunai?]
[Thus, the two most powerful clans founded the village of Konoha.]
[Other clans also united to consolidate their strength, ending the era of small factions ruling independently and ushering in an era where the Five Nations unified the ninja world.]
"As I reflect on it now, did Big Brother truly act as the light curtain describes?"
"Logically, Hashirama Senju possesses an incredibly robust body."
"Not only is he physically resilient, but his regenerative abilities are astounding."
"On the battlefield, such intense combat couldn't defeat him, yet he was willing to take his own life with a kunai?"
"I was so overcome with panic at that moment, I didn't even consider this."
"Fortunately, Uchiha Madara was also straightforward back then. He was moved by his brother's emotions and didn't pursue those thoughts."
"This is probably one of the few times that Big Brother shows off his true intentions."
"Teacher, why hasn't he come out yet? You promised to teach me a powerful water-style ninjutsu today."
Outside the Hokage building, the still young Sarutobi Hiruzen was feeling a little annoyed.
He had been coveting teacher Tobirama's water-style ninjutsu for a long time, and finally the teacher agreed to teach him a very powerful water-style ninjutsu today.
As a result, he had been waiting outside the Hokage Building for nearly half an hour.
In his impression, Mr. Tobirama basically leaves work on time and will not stay to work overtime unless there is something very important.
Although Konoha is still confronting Kumogakure, generally speaking, the war is almost over and nothing major will happen.
"So, what is Tobirama-sensei doing?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to wait any longer like an idiot, so he went upstairs to take a look.
Anyway, as a disciple of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, he has the right to enter and leave the Hokage's office freely.
But he didn't expect that he would be stopped by several ANBU members at the door of the office.
"I'm sorry Hiruzen, but the Hokage-sama said not to let anyone disturb him."
These ANBU members knew Sarutobi Hiruzen, so they spoke up to remind him.
"Huh? Not even me?"
"Hokage-sama is talking about anyone, which should include you."
"ok, I get it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was helpless.
He just wanted to come up and see what Teacher Tobirama was doing. Since the teacher was busy, he would not barge in rashly.
"Is it Sarutobi? You can come in."
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to go downstairs to continue waiting, the voice of Senju Tobirama was heard from inside the office.
"Hehe, I know the teacher is the best to me."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly, opened the door of the room and walked in.
Before he could see clearly what was going on inside the door, the voice from Tobirama came again
"Close the door."
"Okay, teacher."
After closing the door, Sarutobi Hiruzen could clearly see his teacher Tobirama sitting behind the desk.
On the desk, there appeared a large light curtain about three meters long and two meters high.
The scene displayed on the light curtain was quite familiar to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Is this from when the village was first founded?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was already born when Konoha was established, and at the age of nine, he could remember things clearly.
"Yes, the scene shown here is from when my elder brother first established Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen had intended to ask something else, but a voice interrupted from the light curtain.
At the right moment, Tobirama said, "Don't speak now, ask questions later."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded silently, focusing his attention on the light curtain.
[Hashirama originally intended for Madara to become Hokage, but Tobirama opposed it.]
This single statement from the figure in the light curtain prompted Sarutobi Hiruzen to speak involuntarily.
He had never imagined that Hashirama Senju, the Ninja God and Konoha's first Hokage, would consider making Uchiha Madara the Hokage.
He looked at Tobirama, hoping to discern the truth from his expression.
Clearly, Tobirama, his teacher, understood what his student was pondering. Without saying a word, he calmly nodded, confirming the words spoken in the light curtain.
Upon receiving this answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but think: This is truly momentous news.
Given Madara Uchiha's ruthless nature, what would happen if he indeed became Hokage?
It would likely mean perpetual unrest in the ninja world.
[Compared to Madara, the villagers favored Hashirama for Hokage. Hashirama's popularity was evident when they walked together in the streets.]
[With a bright smile and gleaming white teeth, villagers eagerly sought Hashirama's approval. A ninja who cared about dental hygiene naturally had an amiable personality.]
[However, Madara Uchiha was already isolated, except for Hashirama's support. Later, Madara secretly overheard a conversation between Hashirama and Tobirama about the Hokage position, planting the seeds of future discord.]
[In the days that followed, surrounded by people from all clans and the entire village, Hashirama became the first Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire.]
[As Madara found himself increasingly isolated and on the brink of leaving the village, Hashirama tried his best to persuade Uchiha Madara to stay, promising him the position of the Second Hokage.]
[However, Madara had already foreseen that after Hashirama Senju's death, Tobirama would inevitably assume the Hokage position.]
[Uchiha Madara knew that only Hashirama Senju could truly be honest with him.]
[Later, Madara asked Hashirama if he was willing to sacrifice Tobirama or himself for the sake of the village.]
[Seeing Hashirama's hesitant expression, Uchiha Madara, understanding the truth, decisively left Konoha.]
"I didn't expect there to be such a hidden story behind Madara leaving Konoha."
Upon hearing Tobirama's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed reluctant to speak, which made Tobirama feel uneasy.
"If you have any questions, just ask."
In the light of the screen, Hayashi Sora's voice narrated Hashirama's distribution of the tailed beasts to the five major countries.
This was a part of Tobirama's personal experience. If he spoke to Hiruzen now and answered his questions, he wouldn't miss any crucial information.
