Chapter 145 The Tranquility Before the War (3)
"You haven't seen Madara-sama beat anyone. Back then, Mu-sama was considered quite powerful in Iwagakure. He taught me Dust Release. Did you know that Madara-sama pinned both of us down with a single move?" Even after all these years, Ohnoki still felt a lingering fear. "I think that was when I lost myself," he said with a touch of shame. "That was a lifelong shadow that haunted me. I truly understood what it meant to be a strong person."
"Otherwise, how would he have earned the title of 'Ninja God of War'?" Mei, more interested in Madara's face than the Mizukage, Terumi, said, "If it weren't for his age, he'd be a truly rare marriage prospect. He's truly an Uchiha who specializes in beautiful women."
"Once you truly see how powerful he is, you won't think so anymore," Ohnoki complained.
"To be on par with the God of the Ninja World, Hashirama Senju, he must have reached a height that we cannot reach." Gaara said in a serious tone, full of admiration for Madara, "He has made rare contributions to creating an unprecedented new era in the Ninja World. It's just that there were too many negative words about him in the past, and his contributions to the Ninja World were ignored." Without the Fourth War, Gaara had an objective understanding of Madara.
"That's right. At the beginning, there were a lot of gossips about him, but he didn't come out to clarify and let those false rumors discredit him. Now if you think about those rumors carefully, you will know that they are false." Ohnoki sighed and shook his head, "But that's because the village was just established not long ago. Facing the powerful Konoha, we are of course happy to see them discrediting their own patron saint. I have also lived a long life and can see the changes in the ninja world. I can face those predecessors after I die." Having experienced three ninja world wars, Ohnoki has long been indifferent to life and death.
"This is a benefit of longevity. War is not something everyone wants to see." Gaara nodded. "Tsuchikage, I'd like to flatten that mountain. I heard you have a good relationship with the Land of Rain?"
"Oh? You have found out a lot, but when it comes to good relationships, Lord Madara should be better. They have been protected by Lord Madara. I think if Lord Madara comes forward, this matter can be accomplished." Ohnoki suggested to Gaara.
"Tsuchikage, how did you know?" Gaara was curious.
"It was also a coincidence. I was returning to the village after completing a mission near the Land of Rain, and I happened to meet him on the way." Ohnoki said, "I was shocked at the time, and it overturned my understanding of Madara-sama. So you tell Madara-sama about this matter, I believe he will not refuse." Although Ohnoki was still a little afraid of Madara, it seemed from the recent days they spent together that Madara was just a little sharp-tongued and was unwilling to explain some misunderstandings about him.
"Isn't this too presumptuous?" Gaara was still a little tempted after hearing this. After all, this would improve the village's water shortage problem, which should be the village's top priority now.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Ohnoki said. "There's at least a 50% chance. I understand you. Sunagakure is short of water, and you've found a solution. All you need is an opportunity."
"I'll think about it, at least until the current issues are resolved."
"We know how to solve this problem, and we can only passively wait for the enemy. Now it's like the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so we can only passively wait for the enemy to appear." Ohnoki said.
"Yeah, we're now aimlessly dealing with these seemingly random things. Although we're saying this is to take precautions, but..." Mei Terumi didn't continue.
"It can't be said to be meaningless. At least now we have made a lot of progress than before." Gaara was relatively optimistic.
Madara and Hashirama were drinking on the top of a mountain. Although Madara was an Impure World Body, he could eat food and drink wine, but he couldn't taste what they tasted like. "It's so cold, why don't you wear more clothes?" Madara looked at Hashirama who was wearing very thin clothes, "Don't rely on chakra to act recklessly."
"It's okay, it's not that cold, I just want to feel the new life." Hashirama took a deep breath. "Madara, don't you consider resurrection? I don't know what to do without you by my side. I left so many problems for my descendants, which led to the tragedy of the Uchiha."
"I don't blame you. I could have predicted their fate when they gave up on me for their own comfort." Madara said easily, "I just feel guilty about what Izuna and my father said to me." Madara sighed. "Isn't your granddaughter the only one left in the Senju? The Uchiha at least still have a few men."
"As times change, some families will always disappear in the long river of history. The Senju clan just took the lead because they have been told to integrate into the village, and they have done a good job." Hashirama said calmly, "I just thought about spreading out the bloodline limits, which are things attached to ninjas. In this way, everyone will have the opportunity to have their own bloodline limit. It will no longer be a symbol of any specific family, and ordinary ninjas can also have it." Hashirama smiled.
"You're really thinking long-term, giving up your family and becoming a ninja. To be honest, even if I were Hokage, I might not have done as well as you. However, the seed of your ideal is among our Uchiha, that junior named Uchiha Itachi. He's considered a very good one among that group. His ideas are somewhat similar to yours, so he must be the next Hokage."
"I've heard he's a very reliable kid. Now that the flame has been passed on, we are responsible for clearing the obstacles on the road ahead, allowing them to step on our shoulders and reach higher and further. That way, our dreams can be realized."
"You, after all these years, are still so innocent."
"Maybe I'm too stupid and my brain is not enough. So, Madara, you must help me. Without you, I always feel that I'm not doing well enough." Hashirama scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"I really don't know whether you have a brain or not? I really want to pry open your brain and see what's inside." Ban raised the corner of his mouth, looking eager to try.
"Ah hey hey, Madara, you will die like this. Even though I died once, at least we can deal with the current situation first." Hashirama took three steps back in fear.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your brain, but I am very interested in your cells." Madara is someone who knows Hashirama's cells very well.
"Madara, you have a lot of my cells in your hands." Hashirama learned some things about Madara from Senju Tobirama, and also learned from Senju Tobirama that Madara had fused with his cells and already possessed the legendary Rinnegan.
