Chapter 337: Daily Life
"Where were we last time?" Nagasawa, having finished their meal, was ready to continue sharing the story of Hashirama and Madara with Naruto.
"Uhh... when Hashirama and Madara's father had investigated their sons' weird behavior and discovered everything. They then ordered their sons, but you left abruptly, Uncle Nagasawa. What is their father's order and what happened to Hashirama and Madara?" Naruto was getting impatient.
"Patience, Naruto. Let me think," Nagasawa paused for a moment, recalling the story, and then continued:
"Because the Senju and Uchiha are lifelong enemies, Both Madara and Hashirama's father order them to kill each other after finding out what Madara and Hashirama have done behind them!"
"Both Hashirama and Madara were didn't want to carry out their fathers' order. During their time by the river, they had bonded, discussing their dreams, and honing their Ninjutsu. They had grown attached to each other and didn't want to kill each other."
"So, on the day they met, neither of them said a word. Instead, they each threw a stone to the river as a warning to run."
"It's like Hashirama and Madara know what each other is thinking." Naruto was amazed and hoped that he could also have a friend that close one day.
"However, what Hashirama and Madara didn't know was that both Clan Leaders were secretly present that day, with the goal of eliminating the other's son..."
Nagasawa then continued the story about Madara and Hashirama.
"Madara and Hashirama eventually became the leaders of their respective Clans, playing pivotal roles in the Shinobi World. Their younger brothers were also outstanding Shinobi. Izuna Uchiha was known as an impeccable Shinobi, while Obitorama Senju earned the title of the fastest Shinobi in the world. However, the war between the two Clans didn't cease because of this. Their hatred ran deep, and they continued to fight year after year. In one particular battle, Senju that was led by Hashirama defeated the Uchiha that was led by Madara, and Madara's younger brother, Izuna, was severely injured in that battle. Hashirama could have defeated Uchiha Clan once and for all at that time, but he chose not to. He still held onto their childhood dream. Hashirama didn't want Senju and Uchiha to keep fighting each other. He hoped to join forces with the Uchiha to suppress the Land of Fire and bring peace to the world. Madara was initially swayed by this proposal because he, too, hadn't forgotten their childhood dream. However, at that moment, Madara's severely injured brother vehemently opposed Hashirama's suggestion. He warned Madara not to forget the enmity between the two Clans, thinking of it as a conspiracy by the Senju."
Nagasawa then paused. Naruto thought that Nagasawa was just taking a break, but he grew anxious when Nagasawa still didn't continue. So, he asked, "Uncle Nagasawa, why did you stop? Did Madara agree to Hashirama's proposal? Did they join forces and create the village?"
