Konoha's darkness would certainly have disappeared, and none of what is happening now would have ever happened.
If anyone can be blamed, it's him. He died too soon.
"To hell with your village! Is your so—called "for the sake of the village" pushing its inhabitants to their deaths for your own interests?
"Is the so—called Will of Fire throwing your comrades into the abyss for profit?" Haha, so this is your vaunted Will of Fire! Here it is, your village! Ha ha ha!
— You keep saying that "for the sake of the village", "for the sake of everyone", but in fact only you are in your head! You people! Ha ha ha!
— Ugh!
Naruto laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
He's calmed down now. After realizing what he had done, he didn't feel any regret. It's better to destroy such a Konoha, such a so-called Will of Fire. He finally saw clearly what this village really was.
—Naruto... you…
Looking at Naruto like that, Senju Hashirama took a step back. At that moment, he felt an unshakable determination emanating from the young man. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly. He read the dossier on Naruto—what a wonderful young man he was.
The Will of Fire in his heart, his love for the village were boundlessly ardent. One could even say that he possessed the makings of a Hokage. And yet this beautiful child, faced with Konoha's darkness, became like this.
— The first Hokage-sama! The second Hokage-sama is back! An ANBU Shinobi who entered the room reported, standing behind Hashirama.
- what?
When Senju Hashirama left, Naruto closed his eyes and went deep into his mind to talk to the Nine-Tails.
"Nine—Tails, is there really nothing that can be done?"
— You can't. The seal in your body has been reinforced by those damned bastards again. It's impossible to break through!
Inside the sealing dungeon, countless chains tightly bound the Nine-Tails' body. Right now, his power was completely sealed. The current Naruto could no longer be called jinchuuriki, because he could no longer use the Nine-Tails' power either passively or actively.
Now it was just a prison where the Kyubi was being held.
When Senju Hashirama hurriedly left, he saw Senju Tobirama in a rage.
"Tobirama, what's wrong with you?" I've never seen you so angry.
Hearing a familiar voice, Senju Tobirama, who was just folding the seals, turned around and saw his brother approaching with a puzzled look.
"Brother, you're just in time! Look, just look at the current Konoha! How long have we been dead? And the village has already turned into this laughing stock! Not only did a monster like Uchiha Yue appear, but these idiots also sent Uchiha Sasuke to his death! Damn it, he could be our only hope of defeating Uchiha Yue!
Senju Tobirama, looking at his brother, outlined his previous plan. Everything was so well thought out, and now... it's all over.
Without Uchiha Sasuke, the perfect model, how can he now learn the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan? How do I find a way to defeat Uchiha Yue?
— The second grandfather, but we have the First grandfather! And you! Don't we have Edo Tensei? If we could refine this technique so that the resurrected one retains all his strength, as in his prime, then we would definitely be able to defeat Uchiha Yue! Tsunade asked.
— …
Senju Tobirama turned around, looked at Tsunade, and just sighed helplessly.
— It's pointless. Uchiha Yue's power is too monstrous, too terrifying. Even his brother couldn't be his opponent. Energy absorption, kinetic energy absorption, soul absorption, immortality... my brother can't handle such a monster anymore. Perhaps only Sharingan can resist Sharingan! In the past, I underestimated the power of Sharingan. It's only now that I realize that this is the most terrifying force in the Shinobi world. Perhaps even the eyes of the legendary Sage of the Six Paths were just a kind of Sharingan. Initially, we had the opportunity to defeat Uchiha Yue, but alas…
Senju Tobirama shook his head with a look of deep sorrow. This world... can no longer be saved.
— How come... even the First Grandfather is not his opponent… This is a joke, right?..
Tsunade took a step back, confusion and despair reflected on her face. That's why she resurrected Senju Hashirama, and that's why she wanted to perfect Edo Tensei in order to defeat Uchiha Yue with the help of the power of her ancestors.
In fact, the thought that Senju Hashirama might not be a match for Uchiha Yue had already slipped through her mind when the Hidden Cloud Village's superweapon was destroyed and even the Raikage died.
But she didn't want to believe it. Her grandfather was invincible, he was the legendary God of Shinobi, the strongest of all who had ever single-handedly subdued the entire ninja world. He was the one who was able to defeat and destroy Uchiha Madara, who wielded the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Some Uchiha Yue, some Mangekyo Sharingan... once her grandfather regained his former power, he would have pulverized him with a single movement of his hand.
That's right! Precisely!
The reality that her grandfather couldn't defeat Uchiha Yue was simply unthinkable!
Unfortunately, Senju Tobirama has now ruthlessly shattered her illusions.
"Is there really nothing you can do?" Tobirama, I believe that you can definitely find a way to defeat Uchiha Yue! After all, you've studied the Uchiha clan so deeply! Senju Hashirama raised his head, his shining eyes full of trust in his brother.
Senju Tobirama froze for a moment and fell into silence. — Maybe there is still a chance. Brother, Uchiha Madara may be alive!
- what? Is Madara alive? How is this possible?
—Yes, he's alive. I saw him!
"Wait, the Second Hokage-sama,— Jiraiya interjected, lifting his head from the wheelchair. — Konoha has already experienced a tragedy in the past. A mysterious masked man with a Sharingan controlled the Nine-Tails and wreaked havoc in the village, leading to the death of the Fourth Hokage. Could it be that that mysterious man is Uchiha Madara? And maybe Uchiha Yue's appearance is also his doing? Part of Madara's conspiracy?
- what? And that was it? Hmm, that mysterious man could indeed be Uchiha Madara, but Uchiha Yue's appearance was a pure accident, the work of that idiot Danzo… Uchiha Madara and himself…
