[Hi, hi, hi, dear audience, hello, I am the new Content Creator Hayashi Sora.]
[In the previous chapter, we delved into the life of Hashirama Senju, the first Hokage of Konoha Village.]
[Now, let's turn our attention to the second Hokage of Konoha Village: Tobirama Senju.]
[During Tobirama's youth, the ninja world was plunged into a prolonged period of brutal chaos, where ninjas operated much like extended families.]
[However, from their attire and combat style, it resembled more of a system where samurai engaged in round-based skirmishes.]
"What is this person talking about? How can we ninjas be categorized like samurai?"
When Danzo Shimura heard Hayashi Sora's comparison of ninjas to samurai in their approach to conflict, he couldn't hold back.
"Don't mind him, he's expressing a personal viewpoint. Don't take it too seriously."
Senju Tobirama remained silent, while Sarutobi Hiruzen attempted to reassure his friend.
[The frequency of conflicts and the participation of children in combat significantly reduced the average lifespan of ninjas to around 30 years.]
[During wartime, powerful ninja clans became the primary combat force on the battlefield.]
Not only during wars, but even in the present, ninja clans dominate the battlefield in the ninja world.
However, Tobirama Senju believed this situation would eventually change.
[Among them, clans like Hagoromo, Senju, Uchiha, and others are renowned as battlefield experts.]
[On one occasion, the Hagoromo clan and the Uchiha clan fought against the Senju clan.]
[Kawarama, the youngest son of Butsuma, the head of the Senju clan, was killed in this battle at the age of seven.]
[The death of Kawarama made Hashirama, the eldest son of Butsuma, think of creating a harmonious ninja world and building a beautiful home.]
"It turns out that the first Hokage had such a grand ideal from such a young age."
In the previous video review, Sarutobi Hiruzen entered the Hokage's office halfway through, marking the beginning of the establishment of Konoha.
Danzo Shimura felt even more despondent. He hadn't even been among the viewers of the previous video review.
Seeing such a young first Hokage with such lofty aspirations, they couldn't help but admire him for a moment.
They felt that he was truly worthy of being the first Hokage, possessing such remarkable character even from a young age.
However, when Senju Tobirama witnessed his brother's death again, he couldn't help but feel a lingering sadness.
[So, at Kawarama's funeral, Hashirama confronted Butsuma about his brother's death and his aversion to war.]
[Butsuma frowned, realizing that his son was truly resolute, and struck Hashirama across the face.]
Despite being struck, Hashirama refused to yield and continued to challenge Butsuma.
"There's no use, Hashirama, this little self-propelled human-shaped God tree is incredibly resilient to attacks."
"God tree? What in the world is this? Is it related to Wood Release Ninjutsu?"
Tobirama frowned, sensing that things were not as simple as they seemed.
But he had little time to dwell on it.
He could only take note and see if the God tree would be mentioned further in subsequent videos.
[Just as tensions were escalating, Tobirama stepped in between the two and deftly defused the situation.]
[While the incident was resolved, the loss of their loved ones prompted the remaining three brothers to reflect deeply on the nature of war.]
[When they gathered, they didn't play cards or engage in other games, but discussed the state of the ninja world.]
[Tobirama proposed that ninjas should suppress their emotions, establish regulations, and strictly enforce them to prevent unnecessary conflicts.]
[Tobirama's words inspired Hashirama to establish the Ninja Village to a certain extent.]
[However, Tobirama's suggestion to suppress one's own emotions destined him and the beautiful contact lens people, whose emotions are easily out of control, to natural incompatibility.]
"The beautiful contact lens people, You mean The Uchiha clan, right?"
Senju Tobirama nodded, acknowledging what Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
"Haha, this Hayashi Sora guy really plays with words."
"Humph, he's born bold and knows no reverence."
Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and didn't argue with Danzo.
[Not long after, the youngest brother Itama was beaten to death by the Uchiha clan.]
"The Uchiha clan deserves to perish."
Senju Tobirama didn't understand why Danzo harbored such resentment towards the Uchiha clan, so he intervened: "Danzo, the Uchiha are now our comrades in the village."
"Is that so, teacher."
Danzo lowered his head, seeming to truly acknowledge his mistake.
However, neither Tobirama nor Hiruzen noticed Danzo's lowered head and hidden smile.
Danzo spoke in order to deepen Teacher Tobirama's favorable impression of him.
It's no secret in Konoha that Tobirama Senju has a longstanding feud with the Uchiha clan.
Regarding Uchiha Kagami, also a student of his teacher, Danzo claimed he was accepted for the village's stability.
In Danzo's heart, Tobirama's strong hatred for the Uchiha clan was already confirmed.
Haven't you seen the video of the teacher's brother's death at the hands of the Uchiha clan on the screen?
"As long as I make my stance against the Uchiha clan clear, the teacher will surely recognize me and let me become the Third Hokage."
"Hiruzen, you'll be my shadow when the time comes."
Glancing at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was earnestly watching the light screen, Danzo couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
[At this time, Tobirama's elder brother, Hashirama, often met with Uchiha Madara from the neighboring house, and the two quietly reached a consensus on creating a peaceful future for ninja.]
[Unfortunately, the two clans had been feuding for generations, unwilling to yield.]
[Hashirama and Madara's secret meetings were discovered by their respective parents.]
[In line with the policy of breaking up potential alliances, tensions escalated seriously.]
[The parents of both clans seized the opportunity of Hashirama and Madara's meeting to initiate a skirmish.]
[Participants in the skirmish included Uchiha clan leader Tajima and Madara's younger brother, Izuna.]
[The Senju clan was represented by clan leader Butsuma and Tobirama, Hashirama's steadfast younger brother.]
[Tobirama spotted Izuna and gave him a sharp, fierce look, saying, "Izuna is here too."]
[Tobirama's comment could be translated as: "Izuna, what are you doing here as well?"]
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha~cough cough~ I'm sorry, I'm sorry, hahaha, teacher, I couldn't hold it in."
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't mean to laugh either, but Hayashi Sora's words were too amusing.
"It's alright."
Tobirama felt a bit helpless.
He glanced at Hiruzen, thinking that his disciple's overly lively personality wasn't entirely a good thing.
Then he looked at Danzo. Well, having an overly gloomy personality wasn't good either.
"If only we could combine their personalities."
[From this, we can see that Tobirama knew about Izuna and had harbored intentions against him before.]
[Izuna, irritated, retorted, "What are you looking at?" Tobirama swiftly moved towards Izuna and glaring meaning, "What are you looking at?"]
