Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

"Madara, have you ever thought that I must become a ninja?"

Kurosaki Ichigo's voice was a little deep. In his impression, the term ninja has always been associated with words such as ruthless, cruel, cold, and inhumane. In addition, during the day, he witnessed Uchiha Madara indifferently kill the three tails. The serious injury made it even more difficult for him to understand why people here considered ninja to be the most glorious profession under the sun.

"Snapped"

However, before Ichigo Kurosaki could finish expressing his emotions, a chicken bone that had been chewed up flew out from Madara Uchiha and hit Ichigo Kurosaki in the head, knocking him staggering. There was a lot of pain on the bone. The power caused dizziness in his head to hit him in waves. Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head and it took a long time to wake up.

"What...what are you doing?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked angrily and loudly. It's okay to hit me. At least let me finish showing off first.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Uchiha Madara said, leaning against the stone comfortably. "If you said you must become a ninja, do you want to go to the Land of Iron and become a samurai?"

"Samurai of the Iron Country" Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes widened. He had been in this world for so long, and this was the first time he heard that in addition to ninjas, there was a profession of samurai in this world.

"Ah, yes, the Iron Kingdom in the cold northern land was founded a long time ago. It is guarded by a fighting group that calls itself a samurai. It has an independent culture, independent authority, and independent fighting power. However, because they do not participate in the war of ninjas, They remained neutral during the war, so the ninjas also agreed not to attack that country." Uchiha Madara noticed Kurosaki Ichigo's surprise, so he lazily explained to him.

After seeing Kurosaki Ichigo's somewhat agitated look, Madara Uchiha raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you have such a strong opinion against ninjas?"

"That's right. I always felt that ninjas are a bunch of cold-blooded guys, but now it seems a little different from what I imagined." Ichigo Kurosaki shrugged and expressed his thoughts openly.

"No, there is no difference." Uchiha Madara said lightly, "No matter when, ninjas are a group of cold-blooded and ruthless guys. They force children under ten years old to go to the battlefield. They call it training, but in fact they are just sending them to the battlefield. They just went to die."

"..." Kurosaki Ichigo said nothing. He could see that something had been pressing in Uchiha Madara's heart for a long time.

"Do you know?" Uchiha Madara suddenly sat upright and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo and said, his eyes filled with unconcealable sadness, "There were originally five brothers in my family, but now I am the only one left."

"What about the others?" Kurosaki Ichigo felt that his throat was a little dry. He already had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't help but ask Uchiha Madara, as if he wanted to get a different answer.

"They are all dead, died in the war," Madara Uchiha said slowly, as if he didn't care, "You know what that look in your eyes is, during the Warring States Period, the survival rate of children was very low. Our family is lucky to be able to leave me a living child in the end. Many families, even many families, may be wiped out in a war."

"So," Ichigo Kurosaki asked, looking directly into Madara Uchiha's eyes, "you kill to relieve the pain in your heart."

"What do you know?" Uchiha Madara seemed to be stimulated by Kurosaki Ichigo's words, and suddenly said loudly, "Can you understand how it feels when the person you swore to protect at the risk of your own life sacrifices himself in front of you for you?"

"Of course..." Kurosaki Ichigo smiled and looked at Uchiha Madara firmly.

"What?" Uchiha Madara, who seemed about to explode, suddenly paused, and then said in disbelief.

"My mother died in front of me to save me a long time ago." Kurosaki Ichigo blinked, seeming to be immersed in the memories that he had hidden in the deepest part of his memory.

"You... are very sad..." Uchiha Madara, who didn't know what to say, opened his mouth and spoke again for a long time.

"Maybe, but there will always be many things that make you sad before you have time. After all, my father is an unreliable guy, so when my sister is bullied, I have to stand up." Kurosaki Ichigo shrugged and continued He swallowed, as if trying to suppress something rising in his chest.

Kurosaki Ichigo paused and then continued: "Later I learned that the person who killed my mother was a creature called Hollow. At that time, I was already hunting Hollows."

"Then what are your intentions in killing Hollow?" Uchiha Madara looked at Kurosaki Ichigo and asked, suddenly realizing in his heart that the child in front of him who looked less than three years old might have experiences and experiences that were not inferior to his. Pain.

"Hate and regret, if you ask, then this is the answer. But it's more than that, how to put it..." Kurosaki Ichigo touched his hair, "It's like a responsibility... "

"Responsibility" Uchiha Madara looked at Kurosaki Ichigo blankly.

"Well, that's it," Kurosaki Ichigo nodded affirmatively, "Xu killed my mother. Not only me, but my sister and father are also very sad. I don't want that to happen again, nor do I want to To see a scene like that again, that’s it.”

"I'm not a superman, so I don't dare to say that I can protect people all over the world, but I'm not the kind of person who only cares about his own strength and only uses his own strength when he has one... I want to protect him. A lot of people, this is my dream..."

"Well, it's very childish. In fact, I feel the same way." After talking for a long time, Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"No, it's not naive at all. I know a guy who has a similar dream to you. His name is Senju Hashirama." Uchiha Madara replied. At this moment, he really felt that the child in front of him looked very much like Senju Hashirama. The fairy body, the same dream.

"Well, Naruto?" Kurosaki Ichigo raised his head and thought for a moment before suddenly opening his eyes.

"Yes, it's that idiot."

"I have watched my brothers die one by one since I was a child. When I watched my brother's body being buried, I knew that the world was twisted and determined to change it. But a person's power is limited, Fortunately, I met Hashirama, who has the same goals as me."

Uchiha Madara raised his hand and tapped the forehead protector on his forehead: "After hard work, Hashirama and I finally succeeded a little bit, founded Konoha Village, and established a ninja school and a task grading system to enable children to pass Peaceful ways to grow.”

Touching the forehead protector on his head, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but smile. This is Konoha's first forehead protector that Senju Hashirama quickly made before leaving. It will also be the symbol of Konoha ninja in the future. When he touches it, a warm current flows into his heart.

"Why do we continue to train ninjas? Why don't we just end the ninjas?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked.

"Why should we end it? Whenever there will be a fight between people, this fight will not disappear with the existence of ninjas," Uchiha Madara replied, "Only people understand each other. , can we achieve peace, which is what Hashirama and I strive to achieve."

"But it is impossible for people to understand each other. Maybe you can understand each other now, but what about the next generation and the next generation? The so-called mutual understanding is only a temporary solution. It is just a lie to rely on it to establish permanent peace. That’s all.”

"Okay, okay, everything you said is right." Uchiha Madara smiled and said to Kurosaki Ichigo. He didn't think so at the beginning. It's just that Senju Hashirama's super personal charm and his journey along the way Inspired by what he had experienced, he slowly changed his mind.

"You..." After Kurosaki Ichigo saw Uchiha Madara's attitude, he knew that he would not listen to his words, so he sighed and said nothing more, even though he originally wanted to do it for Rukia Kuchiki. He broke into the Seireitei, but what he recognized in his heart was the centralized power structure of the Seireitei and the Gotei [-]th Division, so he disagreed with what Uchiha Madara said.

From this perspective, Kurosaki Ichigo is actually very similar to Senju Tobirama in their thoughts. They both want to establish a system to ensure long-term and even permanent peace.

Just like that, all night.

The next day, Uchiha Madara took Kurosaki Ichigo and set off again, embarking on the road to find the six-tailed rhinoceros.

Soon, the news that the three-tailed Isobutsu was captured by the Konoha ninja village spread throughout the ninja world. By this time, the entire ninja world naturally knew Konoha's purpose, but they knew there was nothing they could do. After all, the person responsible for capturing the tailed beasts But that great god Uchiha Madara, and behind him there are terrifying guys like Senju Hashirama and Konoha.

So in this way, with the attention of the ninja world, Uchiha Madara took Kurosaki Ichigo through most of the continent. It took him three years to kill the eight tailed beasts outside the Land of Fire one by one. Caught.

And in late August of the fourth year of Konoha, Uchiha Madara also brought Kurosaki Ichigo back to this long-awaited village.
