Chapter 796: Chapter 19: Black Zetsu Instantly Refined by Tobirama!
Senju Clan Land, within an underground chamber.
Tobirama stood at the podium, the dim light casting an eerie shadow over his features, with the curtain behind him filled with complex diagrams of arrows, resembling some sort of Kinjutsu manual...
The young Hashirama and Uchiha Madara furrowed their brows, several times nearly losing control of their emotions during Tobirama’s narrative, but a sweep of his gaze kept them sitting quietly.
Among the audience...
Only Uchiha Izuna’s expression was unique.
As the rose of the Uchiha Clan, she watched Tobirama with a gentle, infatuated gaze mixed with a possessive desire, as if any moment this artistic man might use the Flying Thunder God or some other Ninjutsu to disappear, never to belong to her again...
Tobirama certainly was not explaining Kinjutsu.
The Senju and Uchiha Clan were originally kin of the same lineage, why have they continued their relentless conflict for a thousand years?
What is truly happening in this Ninja World!
As a lecturer, Tobirama was explaining to Hashirama, Madara, and Izuna the story of the Six Paths Sage’s family and the Otsutsuki Clan...
Tobirama’s narrative was based on the Uchiha Stele and his own creation, the Senju Stele, and on his "Dojutsu."
Tobirama told Hashirama, Madara, and Izuna that one of the abilities of his Dojutsu was to see the past and future of the Ninja World...
This aligns with the principles of the "Eye of Heart Reflection," as a Kinjutsu Master, Tobirama often searches for Jutsu buried in the river of history, and considers changes in future Ninjutsu...
It also fits with how others perceive Tobirama.
Using this rhetoric, Tobirama revealed all the truths without concealing anything...
From Kaguya, the Ancestor of Chakra, turning against Isshiki, to attempting to destroy the Ninja World and being sealed by the Six Paths Sage, then to the struggle between Asura and Indra and their father...
To help Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama better understand the concept of reincarnation, Tobirama created a piece of history from hundreds of years ago himself—
Once there was a Senju and Uchiha Clan Leader, who had an extremely good relationship and bond from childhood like Hashirama and Madara.
Both held mutual recognition and sought a way to end the cruel war between the Senju and Uchiha Clan, and with this hope took steps to seize family authority.
In their youth, the Senju and Uchiha Clan Leaders were in a state of mutual respect and open communication, even when there were differences in opinions, they could almost seek common ground while reserving differences.
But from a certain moment...
Their mindset, once that of close friends, suddenly underwent a drastic change.
Their behavior remained unchanged, but the Senju Clan Leader felt that the Uchiha Clan Leader was acting too extreme and rash, believing that it would bring greater disaster to the Ninja World...
The Uchiha Clan Leader felt that the Senju Clan Leader was not as open-minded as before but had become indecisive and outdated, always trying to obstruct him in various aspects.
Both seemed increasingly unlike themselves under the influence of some force...
During this process, others also noticed anomalies, even suspecting it was a conspiracy from other Ninja Clans
——Using some kind of Genjutsu to obscure their perception and disrupt the alliance between Uchiha and Senju!
However, even after multiple checks by clansmen skilled in Genjutsu from both sides, they found no clue.
Therefore, the intensified disagreement could only be attributed to the irreconcilable divergence in the perception of the Uchiha and Senju Clan Leaders.
Ultimately, the peace they had fantasized about since childhood vanished, and in their inability to understand each other’s ideals, they could only perpetuate the hatred within family history, leading their clans on the battlefield, trapped in a cruel cycle reminiscent of Izanami.
Until the moment before death.
The Senju and Uchiha Clan Leaders, who stabbed their blades into each other’s vital parts, seemed to unseal something, gazing at each other with resignation and release as they died.
Their eyes held both gratitude and anger, complex emotions.
Gratitude because their feelings as friends were genuine, and without the deeply buried Chakra within, they would never have reached this tragic end...
Anger because the Chakra that not even Mangekyo Sharingan could uncover, who was it that cast such a curse of resentment on them?
Must the Uchiha and Senju fight to the death!
But this mystery, realized only at life’s end, left them no time to find the final answer...
Fortunately, hundreds of years later, there was a man named Senju Tobirama, who possessed the bloodline of both Uchiha and Senju, able to reincarnate through past times, simulate figures of history, and see the secrets lost in the dust...
Senju Tobirama, a man overlooking eternity in the river of time!
After Tobirama finished his tale.
Uchiha Madara and the young Hashirama fell into great shock.
The experience of those Senju and Uchiha Clan Leaders from hundreds of years ago was exactly the same as theirs...
If Tobirama had not unexpectedly awakened this Dojutsu, would they have like their predecessors lost their friendship in confusion and fought to the death?
This is extremely possible, or rather, it was certain to develop in this way...
For this is the repetitive cycle that has occurred countless times between Uchiha and Senju over the millennia, regardless of how exceptionally talented the ninja, none can escape this nightmarish loop.
