Parallel World 1.
After initially setting up the plan for the Parallel Worlds, Lux returned to Parallel World 1 again.
And here, Hashirama was tossed and turned all night.
He woke up early the next morning and shouted at Tobirama to immediately hold a high-level meeting.
Call all the current clan heads in the village, including the Sarutobi Clan, the Shimura Clan, the Hyuga Clan, the Shiranui Clan, the Nara Clan, the Akimichi Clan, the Yamanaka Clan, etc.
Without hesitation, he directly announced that Uchiha Madara would be the Second Hokage.
If anything happened to him, Madara would immediately take over the position of the Second Hokage.
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused concern and resistance from all the other clan leaders present.
Didn't they agree that everyone should democratically elect the Hokage?
Why did the Hokage suddenly become a dictatorship appointed by Hashirama?
This doesn't make sense!
"Hokage-sama, isn't this inappropriate?"
"What's the point of appointing the Second Hokage now?"
"This…"
Hashirama also knew that his request was a bit deliberate. But for the sake of the village's future, and to prevent Madara from leaving the village and turning against Konoha, he had to do this!
Moreover, no one except him and Madara could protect the peace of the entire ninja world alone.
"I beg you all to agree!"
"Even though the reason can't be explained in detail, letting Madara become the Second Hokage can indeed protect the village and everyone."
"This is also the only way to maintain peace if, unfortunately, I am killed!"
Hashirama pleaded sincerely.
Everyone was shocked.
The clan heads thought it was crazy and even wondered if Hashirama had gone mad? Or was he preparing to do something fatal?
Only after Madara became the Second Hokage first to ensure the village's peace?
But the Ninja God Senju Hashirama was so powerful, what else did he need to fight for?
"Brother, no one will understand if you say this!"
Tobirama frowned and complained in Hashirama's ear. He knew why his older brother was changing his decision and what he saw in the future.
Only then did he insist on wanting Madara to replace the Second Hokage.
Initially, Tobirama opposed it with all his might, but after being 'trained' by Hashirama at home last night, he still had to lose.
He knew that his older brother was serious this time.
The kind that no one could persuade.
However, the clan leaders from other clans didn't know what was going on, and they were even less likely to believe the nonsense that Hashirama could travel to the future.
Therefore, it was almost impossible to convince them just like that.
"Hashirama-sama, can you explain it more clearly?"
"Uhhh…"
Hashirama was a little confused, he wasn't good at lying!
Seeing this, Tobirama beside him silently sighed and stepped forward to explain:
"Everyone, the truth is as follows. My brother, yesterday, received a prophecy from the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku, which stated that after his death, the First Great Ninja War would soon break out."
"If we want to prevent the war, we need a Second Hokage who is strong enough to succeed. My brother hopes to determine the ownership of the Second Hokage beforehand."
Tobirama's political acumen was not perfect, and he easily made a plausible excuse.
Of course, most of this was also true. He had just changed the source of information from the mysterious Lux to the Great Toad Sage.
This also seemed more reasonable and credible.
"So that's it!"
"Did the Great Toad Sage's prophecy come from the rumored Mount Myoboku?"
"Even though it can't be fully trusted, it should be taken seriously."
"That is a sacred land as famous as the Shikkotsu Forest. The Great Toad Sage wouldn't make random predictions, right?"
A group of clan leaders began to discuss in whispers.
Since there was a reasonable explanation, they had to carefully consider this proposal.
At the same time, Madara also glanced at Tobirama.
It was rare for Hashirama to be so firm, so he accepted the invitation himself.
He just didn't expect that Tobirama, who usually seemed annoying, would actually fabricate a lie to help him ascend the throne? Did he really change his nature?
No, it was more likely that he had just been defeated by Hashirama.
Tobirama was still very annoying! Should he marry into the Uchiha Clan?
Madara was still thinking. However, Hashirama pulled him forward, gesturing for him to express his gratitude.
"Come."
"Madara, please say a few words."
Faced with Hashirama's kind invitation, Madara didn't refuse.
However, Madara's expression was a bit unusual.
"So long-winded!"
Madara snorted impatiently, directly opened his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, swept the audience with a cold and domineering gaze, and asked directly:
"Who supports and who opposes?"
"..."
The entire conference room fell silent.
Hashirama touched his head and smiled, feeling that Madara was a bit too tough?
Tobirama opened his mouth in surprise, wishing he could give Madara a hard kick!
The remaining major clan heads groaned, not daring to look into those terrifying Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan eyes.
"Madara! What are you..."
Tobirama blushed and accused angrily.
Madara didn't bother to pay attention to the jumping Tobirama, and continued to speak to himself:
"What's this? This saves you time!"
"You are all a bunch of battlefield survivors who take their time to make decisions."
"If it works, then it works. If not, then it's just a waste of ink."
"I, Uchiha Madara, don't need anyone's charity!"
Madara crossed his arms, still full of pride.
Konoha might be worse off without him, but Konoha would definitely live a better life without him.
If it weren't for Hashirama's request and the agreement with Lux, Madara would have long left Konoha to prepare for his Moon Eye plan.
How could he bother to waste time with these trash?
All the clan leaders chose to follow their hearts and unanimously agreed to Hashirama's proposal.
Uchiha Madara took over as the Second Hokage.
At this time, the Warring States Period had just ended.
The Sarutobi, Shimura, and other wealthy clans didn't join for the sake of democracy and freedom, which was nonsense.
It was all because the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan, the strongest, had formed an alliance, and they were all here to embrace it.
Moreover, even the most radical members of the Uchiha Clan were tired of the cruelty of the Warring States Period and didn't want to leave with their clan leader, Madara.
What about the other ninjas?
Only when Hashirama objected would they dare to confront Madara.
Now that Hashirama supported Madara, could they still resist? Did they still have the ability to resist?
Wasn't Susano'o powerful enough?
❀❀❀
As the clan leaders left, only Hashirama, Tobirama, and Madara remained in the room.
"Hahaha! Success!"
"Madara, I told you it would work, didn't I?"
"Everyone agrees with you so much!"
Hashirama laughed heartily, very cheerful.
Finally, let Madara stay.
This could be considered changing the future and solving most of the contents of his heart.
At this moment, Hashirama felt that the whole village became brighter.
"Hmph!"
Madara snorted, and his usually serious expression softened slightly.
He knew that those people were just yielding to his strength and Hashirama's. But it didn't matter, as long as he still had power.
Those people had to endure him even if they didn't accept it!
In short, being able to stay in the village, protect the Uchiha Clan, and act together with Hashirama was a good choice according to Madara.
For the other ninjas, there wasn't much difference for now.
Now the First Hokage was Senju Hashirama, who was the strongest Senju Clan.
After the Second Hokage was replaced by Uchiha Madara, it was no more than a different Uchiha sitting on top of it.
As long as Konoha didn't fall, Konoha would remain the strongest and wouldn't disintegrate and return to the Warring States Period. It was all easy to say.
Of course, no one lost.
The only one who lost was Tobirama, who was replaced as the Second Hokage.
Everyone won, but Tobirama in this world lost. However, he hadn't really taken the position of the Second Hokage now, and he wasn't interested in power and the position of Hokage.
He was just very unhappy that the annoying Madara would be the Second Hokage in the future.
"Tobirama, you look unconvinced?"
Madara, who was in a good mood, deliberately criticized Tobirama.
Tobirama's face darkened. He didn't want to argue with Madara at all, and turned to his brother.
"Brother, the envoy from Iwagakure Village will arrive soon."
"Oh? Do they agree to form an alliance?"
"I don't know. It's most likely that I just sent someone to test them first. Even if we want to form an alliance, it will take a very early time. But as Hokage, you still have to meet them."
"Okay."
Hashirama nodded helplessly.
After knowing about the Ninja World War in the following decades, he no longer had the enthusiasm for the current alliance.
But as Hokage, the other party was invited, so he couldn't miss it.
Basic etiquette was still necessary.
"By the way. Madara, would you like to come with me as well?"
Hashirama asked Madara, hoping that he could also meet the Iwagakure envoy together.
Madara waved his hand boredly. He was preparing to destroy the entire Iwagakure Village, so he didn't have a good face to receive the envoy.
"If they want to meet me, let them come to the temple to find me."
Madara left a few words and left.
Since he wasn't planning to leave Konoha, he could still inherit the Hokage position.
Then it was time to tell the other clan members the good news.
Madara had feelings for the other members of the Uchiha Clan, although not many. But when he planned to leave Konoha before, he was willing to ask the clan members if they wanted to accompany him, which proved this.
Moreover, the clan was the only legacy left by Izuna.
He was sure the Uchiha people would be very happy to hear this news.
❀❀❀
At the same time.
The upper floor of the Hokage Building, which was still under construction.
Lux saw the unified progress changes in the system and knew that Hashirama and Madara must have reached an agreement.
[Parallel World 1 Unification Progress: 32% → 35%]
Not much change, only an increase of 3 percent.
But considering that Madara had given up on leaving Konoha and had reserved the position of the Second Hokage, this change was very objective.
And this was just the unified progress.
If there was a "plot change scale", Madara's betrayal of Konoha alone was enough to completely rewrite the subsequent plot, maybe it could increase by 80%!
At least Obito, Nagato, Akatsuki, etc., would most likely not become villains.
Even the next four Ninja World Wars might not be able to happen.
It could be said that the entire plot of Parallel World 1 had been completely rewritten.
Lux didn't even know what would happen.
But it didn't matter, the important thing was to immediately push Madara and Hashirama to complete the unification of the ninja world in this world!
Of course, no matter how urgent it was, he had to eat rice in one bite.
Lux looked up and saw the first delicious "little sheep" was about to enter.
There, at the entrance of Konoha Village, the envoy from Iwagakure Village had arrived.
Of course, it was still a teacher-student pair.
The future Second Tsuchikage, Mu.
The future Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.
