Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future

"So, it turns out I'm the coward?"

Tobirama seemed bitter. He never thought he was the source of that cowardice!

"Actually, it's not cowardice."

"Tobirama, you have the courage to die, so you're not considered a coward. You're just a Hokage who considers the pros and cons in a desperate situation and chooses the method with the least sacrifice for the village at this stage."

"But often, short-term compromises will only make the price to be paid more expensive in the future."

Lux wasn't a master of psychological games. But he still knew the simple truth of 'strike with one blow to avoid a hundred blows'.

If Tobirama was cruel enough, he would dare to lead Hiruzen's group to fight to the death.

Even if they all died in battle, as long as Ginkaku and Kinkaku's forces could be destroyed, how would Kumogakure Village dare to underestimate Konoha afterward?

If lucky, Hiruzen or Danzo would survive. At least the courage to fight to the death wouldn't be lost, as long as the spirit remained.

In the next decade, the Third Hokage wouldn't hesitate to use strategies and would only find ways to kill Kumogakure Village!

On the contrary, it was that cowardly and compromising moment that increased Kumogakure Village's contempt for Konoha, forcing Konoha to pay more.

"No need for comfort, Sir. Compared to my former self, I'm indeed less sharp now."

Compared to Tobirama at the end of the Warring States Period, he was indeed like a stone with its edges smoothed out.

Even at the First Five Kage Conference, Tobirama was much stronger than he was now.

Indeed, he still relied too much on his older brother!

Fortunately, now he still had a chance to make amends! If he didn't die here today, everything could still be rewritten!

Hiruzen and the others wouldn't lose their fighting spirit because of his death.

Kumogakure Village?

Just wait.

He would definitely return it a hundredfold next time!

Tobirama pondered. Clenching his fist, a fierce fighting spirit arose in his heart!

Lux was very satisfied with this.

He went around in a big circle to stimulate Tobirama. He wasn't afraid that Tobirama wasn't cruel enough, but he was afraid that the other party would learn to be honest and compromise like Hashirama.

That should be enough to arouse Tobirama's anger and fighting spirit, allowing him to lay a strong foundation of belief on the path to unifying the ninja world.

"Thank you, sir, for the tip, I will remember it."

"What are your plans next?"

"I must return to the village immediately. This war, or the First Ninja World War, hasn't completely ended, I must return and make arrangements as soon as possible!"

"I can give you a ride."

Lux's World Teleportation was much stronger than Hiraishin no Jutsu. Regardless of whether there were marks or not, he could teleport anywhere without interference or disruption.

Except for a few times.

And Tobirama didn't have much chakra recovered now, so he might not be able to teleport back to Konoha using Hiraishin no Jutsu.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but it's no use. I still have to chase after the escaped Saru…"

It didn't make sense for Tobirama to return to Konoha immediately now. Instead, it was best to follow Hiruzen and the others.

As long as Kagami was saved, the relationship between the village and the Uchiha Clan would be very easy in the future.

The terrifying future situation of the Uchiha Clan 34 years later could be seen here.

If Kagami died, who knows how long it would take for the next generation of Uchiha Clan members to have the Hokage mentality and not be bound by narrow nationalism!

Tobirama had to hurry and save Kagami!

"Okay. Do as you please, as long as you don't kill yourself again."

"Then, when can we meet?"

"Take care of your village's affairs first. I'll come looking for you next time."

After saying that, Lux activated World Teleportation and disappeared.

Tobirama was left with a surprised expression on his face.

Was everything called 'immortal' so easy?

Tobirama shook his head, dismissing any distracting thoughts.

Although he was more surprised today than the combined first half of his life, it didn't matter.

Being able to survive and change the future was what he valued most! It was also the biggest advantage!

Tobirama simply packed up and immediately set off to chase after Hiruzen and the others in the direction they had gone.

When those kids saw him come back to life, they would be very surprised, wouldn't they?

❀❀❀

Lux returned to Parallel World 1.

Hashirama, who had been returned earlier, was also in the Hokage's office, happily explaining his miraculous experience to Tobirama.

For the hour that Hashirama disappeared, Tobirama in Parallel World 1 almost went crazy with anxiety.

His brother, who had just become Hokage not long ago, was kidnapped from the Hokage's office by a stranger in front of him, and disappeared completely.

If this news spread, the entire Konoha Village might collapse in a few days!

Just as that crazy Madara came to ask about his brother, Tobirama had trouble answering.

Fortunately, his older brother returned in time.

Only, after Hashirama returned, he told Tobirama about his time travel experience. Tobirama didn't believe it and wondered if his older brother was crazy.

How was this possible?

But his brother told it very realistically, saying that what he saw with his own eyes was definitely not an illusion.

This made Tobirama doubt.

Two possibilities:

Either his brother had fallen into an unimaginable brilliant illusion. Or everything his brother said was true.

Although the latter was too hard to believe, considering that his brother was unlikely to be fooled by illusions, the latter wasn't impossible.

However, it wasn't easy for Tobirama, who hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, to believe it completely.

Hashirama was still explaining enthusiastically.

When Tobirama heard this, Madara would soon betray the village, and eventually lead Kyu2 to attack Konoha, and die at his brother's hands.

The credibility of this story suddenly increased by several levels!

No wonder Madara had been appearing less and less lately. It turned out he was planning something bad!

"Brother, why did Madara betray the village?"

Hashirama was surprised.

"Right! I still don't know why Madara left the village! No, I must ask immediately."

"Tobirama, I'll tell you when I get back. After all, it's time to find you a marriage in a few days. You can't be single forever!"

Tobirama looked confused: "???"

What else did he want to ask.

But Hashirama had already left the office and rushed towards the Naka Shrine of the Uchiha Clan.

❀❀❀

"Madara, I'm here!"

In the secret underground chamber of the Naka Shrine, Hashirama found Madara who had asked him to meet.

"Hashirama, you're late."

"Hahaha! There was an unusual situation and there was a delay."

Madara glanced at Hashirama, but didn't pay much attention.

He pointed to the mysterious stone tablet inside the secret chamber and went straight to the point:

"This is a stone tablet passed down from generation to generation of the Uchiha Clan. It has never been shown to outsiders. It's very special and requires eye power to decipher it."

"The content I've interpreted so far is: To achieve stability, the gods divided Yin and Yang into two poles. Their interaction can produce everything!"

"This is the truth that leads to everything in the world!"

"In other words, when two opposing forces combine to complement each other, true happiness and peace can be achieved!"

"However, this can also be explained from another angle."

"It's a pity that the Uchiha and Senju can't be combined at all. Hashirama, don't you think I know nothing? After you, Tobirama will probably take over as Hokage. At that time, the Uchiha Clan will one day—"

Before Madara could finish, Hashirama suddenly interrupted and said:

"Madara, I've decided! You will be the Second Hokage!"

Hashirama declared with sincerity.
