Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

"Hey~"

A bit of light rose into the sky with a long trail of flames.

"Snapped"

A beautiful flame flower exploded in the night sky. Although it was fleeting, no one could ignore its stunning beauty when it bloomed.

But before anyone could miss the beauty of the fireworks, one after another the fireworks shot up into the sky.Soon the entire night sky was filled with brilliant sparks.

On the top of the mountain at the same height as where the fireworks bloomed, Uchiha Madara stood quietly, overlooking the brightly lit village below.

The children's laughter was as noisy as boiling water, but today's adults changed from their usual sternness. They just chuckled and criticized a little, and then gathered together to chat.

Today is the second day of August in the second year of Konoha.

At the beginning of last year, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, who had been fighting for thousands of years as the two heroes of the ninja world, finally put aside their hatred and shook hands to make peace. They cooperated with the Country of Fire and jointly created an organization like a paradise, the Hidden Leaf Village.

However, after the establishment of Konoha Hidden Village, a more realistic question posed before the founder of the village: Who will become the leader of this unprecedented village, Hokage?

Obviously the Senju and Uchiha have not reached an agreement in this regard. Both sides are working hard for their clan leader to become Hokage. However, the past terrible record of Senju Hashirama, the leader of the Senju clan, is obviously more convincing in this age where strength is paramount. force.

So after fighting openly and secretly for half a year, even though Senju Hashirama himself preferred Uchiha Madara, the leader of the Uchiha clan, to be the Hokage, Senju Hashirama, who was revered as the God of Ninja by the world, was still favored by the public and died in the Sixth Age. Yue assumed the position of the First Hokage.

Time returns to the present. As the number one winner in life in this era, Senju Hashirama has welcomed another happy event at the age of 30, that is, his eldest granddaughter was born today.

This little girl is the first child of this generation of the main line of the Senju clan. It can be said that she has been loved by thousands of people since she was born. Even before she was born, the name of Tsunade was bestowed upon her by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Name and title of princess.

No, the little girl was just born at noon. In the evening, the villagers of Konoha Village spontaneously held a grand ceremony to welcome the arrival of this little life.

It's just that Uchiha Madara did not participate in those ceremonies, but came to the place where his and Senju Hashirama's dreams began, which seemed a little out of tune with the atmosphere at his feet.

Suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared behind Uchiha Madara. The man was wearing a large Hokage robe and carrying a bamboo hat with the word "fire" written on the front tip on his back. He took two steps forward and asked, "What's wrong, Madara?" Why don't you go to the event, everyone is waiting for you?"

"Hashirama?" Uchiha Madara looked back at Senju Hashirama who came to him, and found that he was looking at him expectantly, as if he didn't want Uchiha Madara to stay here alone, "Oh, there will really be someone Do you want me to come?”

Uchiha Madara's smile contained a hint of mockery, and his eyes pierced directly into Senju Hashirama's eyes.

Senju Hashirama heard the meaning of Uchiha Madara's words, and took a step forward anxiously and said, "Of course you and I, and even everyone in this village are brothers and sisters, right?"

"Hey," Uchiha Madara curled his lips. He knew that even though Senju Hashirama said this, his younger brother Senju Tobirama had always been very wary of him. Otherwise, Tobirama wouldn't have promised Hashirama last year. After competing for the position of Hokage, he also successfully helped Hashirama to the throne of Hokage.

But before Uchiha Madara could say anything else, Senju Tobirama's voice came from the cliff behind the two of them: "Hey, what are you doing? The banquet is about to begin, and even the daimyo has already arrived."

"Tobirama?" Uchiha Madara turned around and met Senju Tobirama's cold glance at him. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He couldn't escape the relationship between the death of his brother Izuna.

Senju Tobirama jumped up in front of the two of them. Although there was an undercurrent between him and Uchiha Madara, he did not show anything wrong in front of others. He urged calmly: "Do you want to name them for a long time?" Wait?"

Uchiha Madara took a deep look at Senju Tobirama. Every time he saw his unfathomable calm look, Uchiha Madara's fear and dissatisfaction with him would increase a little more.

After that, Uchiha Madara shrugged at Senju Hashirama and said self-deprecatingly, "No need, I am a loner and I won't join in the fun."

"Madara" Senju Hashirama opened his mouth to say something, but Uchiha Madara didn't give him a chance to speak. He jumped off the high rock wall in a flash and passed by Senju Hashirama. The huge rock statue being carved, the black kimono made a fierce sound, was submerged in the dark night sky.

Senju Hashirama looked at the direction Uchiha Madara left and sighed: "Alas"

"Don't you have to chase him?" Senju Tobirama asked, looking very concerned about Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

However, Senju Hashirama shook his head: "Forget it, Madara has already made up his mind by looking at him. Even if I catch up, it won't change anything."

"In that case, brother, you should go back. After all, it's not good to leave the name alone." Senju Tobirama said calmly.

"Well, let's go." Senju Hashirama nodded.

After hearing Senju Hashirama's promise, Senju Tobirama took a step forward and put a hand on his shoulder. The two figures disappeared instantly under the surge of chakra.

15 years old is the marriageable age for children of various ninja families. After all, during the Warring States Period due to fierce fighting, the average age of people was only more than 20 years old, so family members had to take on the task of reproducing the family at the age of 15.

Senju Hashirama married his current wife Uzumaki Mito when he was 15 years old, and his eldest son also got married at 15 years old, giving him a granddaughter.

But there are exceptions to everything, and Uchiha Madara is one of them.Born when the Uchiha clan was gradually weakening, he took on the responsibility of the family early.

When he reached the age of marriage, his marriage was delayed due to the death of his father Uchiha Tajima. Unexpectedly, he had been single for so many years, but the dead Uchiha Izuna still left a son.

This is also the main reason why Senju Hashirama did not try his best to retain Uchiha Madara. After all, looking at the family and beauty of his former rival, no matter how cool Madara is, he will probably feel uncomfortable seeing such a situation.

With the help of Senju Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Jutsu, Senju Hashirama arrived at the Hokage Tower in an instant. Looking at the lively atmosphere, he secretly thought: "Let's talk to Madara next time."

Uchiha Madara, who was worried about Senju Hashirama, was not as fast as Senju Tobirama, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. It was only then that he arrived outside the village after rising and falling.

However, Uchiha Madara stopped after leaving the village, standing outside the majestic gate of Konoha, facing the boundless darkness in front of him and the endless prosperity behind him, not knowing where he should go.

After a long time, Uchiha Madara sighed, tiptoed with his right foot, and floated gracefully, flying towards the huge virgin forest in the distance.

This primeval forest has existed since ancient times, and there are ferocious beasts and strange poisons in it. Even the elite children of major families, who are now jounin, must cheer up after entering here.

However, Madara Uchiha didn't care at this time, not because Senju Hashirama had already cleaned up the forest before building Konoha, but because based on his strength, directly razing the forest would be too much. It's just one move, so there's no need to be careful.

In less than half an hour, Uchiha Madara had already entered the depths of this primeval forest. He was walking forward carelessly, and suddenly he felt something was wrong. When his nose twitched, he seemed to smell a hint of smoke and aroma, as if someone was there. Just like making barbecue.

"There is a spy." As a ninja, an idea flashed through Madara Uchiha's mind for the first time, but this idea was immediately rejected by him.

Because the Konoha family is now the dominant one, other newly established ninja villages should not have the courage to send spies here.

And even if there were, they probably wouldn't be hiding in such a place where family members often come to practice and there are not many people there.

Uchiha Madara stopped and stood on the branch and thought for a while: "It should be an elite child from a certain family who came to practice."

After all, although the dangerous area of ​​​​this place has been cleared by Senju Hashirama, ninjas at the Chuunin level can also gain a lot of experience if they come to practice, so people often enter here as a training ground.

But after thinking about it again, Uchiha Madara still felt something was wrong, because even genin knew that starting a fire in the forest was very dangerous.

You must know that even those who are stronger than yourself and Senju Hashirama will not do such things that go against the habits of ninjas. There is no reason for people who can enter the depths of this forest to grill meat so blatantly.

"Forget it, let's go down and have a look." Uchiha Madara made up his mind and jumped to the ground. With his good nose, he sniffed and walked in one direction.

What appeared in front of Uchiha Madara was a pile of extinguished bonfires, with a few wisps of green smoke rising slowly from the black ash, and a few bones and half-eaten chicken next to it.

The appearance of the roasted chicken made Uchiha Madara sure that the person who lit the fire was not a ninja, or even a person who was used to living in the wild, because the appearance of this roasted chicken was so miserable, half of it was black and burnt, and the other half was burnt. Half of it was half-baked and still tinged with blood.

"Roar,"

A huge tiger roar suddenly sounded in the distance, causing the leaves to tremble.

Uchiha Madara frowned, knowing that the person who raised the fire should have attracted the giant tiger.

This giant tiger is a type of tiger unique to this forest. Not only is it huge in size, but it is also strong and powerful and has keen senses. Even ordinary chuunin is no match for it.

It's a pity that this kind of tiger has low intelligence, can't understand human language, and is wild and untamable. Otherwise, even if it doesn't become a psychic beast, it can still become a superior ninja beast.

Of course, it was precisely these shortcomings that limited the strength of this tiger species, allowing them to survive the cleanup of Senju Hashirama and quickly become the rulers of this forest.

Now that it was confirmed that the person who started the fire was not from Konoha, Madara Uchiha didn't bother to care whether this person would be eaten by the giant tiger. He put a little force on his feet and was ready to leave directly.

But then a tiger roar came again. As a ninja, Uchiha Madara had sharp ears and eyes. He actually heard a boy's groan of pain in the tiger roar.

Uchiha Madara stopped and was about to leave. Perhaps because he was stimulated by Senju Hashirama's granddaughter, he felt a little confused after hearing the boy's painful groan.

The boy's voice sounded like he was under three years old, but the fact that he didn't yell in the face of such a beast reminded him of his equally determined brother when he was a child.

At that time, Uchiha Izuna's talent was not as outstanding as it was later, so he was often scolded and even beaten by his strict father, but he always remained silent and got up early every day to practice.

Uchiha Madara, who had an image of his younger brother holding back tears in his mind, sighed, feeling that today was really a bad day, but although he was unhappy, he still took steps towards the direction of the tiger's roar, his figure In a few flashes, it quickly approached its destination.

However, Uchiha Madara quickly stopped and hid under the shadow of a huge tree.

In his field of vision, the originally irritable giant tiger shrank like a kitten facing its natural enemy, with its hair standing on end. But standing in front of the giant tiger was a middle-aged man wearing a black windbreaker. year man.

The man held a kitchen knife-shaped knife without a blade in his hand, and he swayed his strength freely, intimidating the giant tiger in front of him.

A little boy with orange hair and a handsome face was held in the man's arms. He looked about two years old.Thinking carefully, the pained groan that Uchiha Madara heard just now must have come from this little boy.

Uchiha Madara frowned. The power overflowing from the middle-aged man gave him a strange feeling. It was not like ordinary chakra, but more like the natural power used by Senju Hashirama when he was in sage mode.

"Who... could this guy be?" Uchiha Madara recalled and found that there did not seem to be such a person in his memory, so he couldn't help but become curious and observed the man in the dark.

However, what surprised Uchiha Madara was that in the next second, the man turned his eyes towards him and said loudly: "No need to hide, come out, strong man from another world"
