Madara: Hashirama, why are there so many wars in this world?
Hashirama: I don't know.
Madara: Then why do you want to stop me from getting rid of war in this world?
Hashirama: Because it can't be done.
Madara: I can create a new world, a world without war, a peaceful world.
Hashirama: That's fake.
Madara: Then what is real?
Hashirama: ...
Madara: You think you're creating a peaceful... village? And hiding in the village, fooling yourself? If you can't see it, it doesn't exist?
Hashirama: ...
Madara: If we hadn't created Konoha back then, but instead brought the entire ninja world into the village, would there still be wars in this world?
Hashirama: Madara... that's wrong.
Madara: Is that so... you still think that way, but Hashirama, I don't think it's wrong. This world needs a reason to achieve peace. Mugen Tsukuyomi may be one of them, and my existence may be one of them as well.
Hashirama: What are you trying to say?
Madara: Hashirama, the existence of the Ootsuki has made this world unreasonable. Without the Ootsuki, what would this world be like? Constant wars? Or would it become mediocre because it lost such a useful tool as Chakra? Or would it go down another path?
Hashirama: ...
Madara: Hashirama, this time, let me witness for myself whether Mugen Tsukuyomi can really achieve peace.

"Crap! I'm going to be late!" Naruto, looking messy, suddenly pushed open the door and shouted anxiously into the living room, "Mom and Dad! Why didn't you wake me up!"
Kushina was lying on her side on the sofa watching TV, holding a cute fox pillow in her arms: "It takes so much time to wake you up every day, your dad and I want to rest sometimes too."
Minato, wearing an apron, stood at the kitchen door and smiled helplessly: "Sorry, Naruto."
Naruto didn't care about any of this. He had no time to start blaming his mom. He could only grab the bread on the table, not even wanting jam, and grab his schoolbag to run out: "Ahhh! Kakashi-sensei is going to make me clean the toilets again!"
Watching Naruto rush out of the house in a hurry, Minato shook his head helplessly and slowly walked behind Kushina: "Are we being a little too much like this?"
"Hmph, Naruto needs to know the importance of getting up early." Kushina didn't care and reached out to pick up the snacks on the coffee table.
Minato reached out and stopped her from getting the snacks, saying in an annoyed tone: "You haven't even eaten breakfast yet, no snacks allowed."
Kushina puffed out her cheeks.
Let's ignore these two
for now. Anyway, the first thing Naruto did after rushing out was to run to the station.
"There are three minutes left before the last bus leaves. It takes me five minutes to run there, but it doesn't matter! I'm Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto gripped his schoolbag and sprinted with all his might, "Flying high! Me!"
Then he missed it.
After running behind the bus for two minutes, he finally lay down by the road watching the bus disappear around the corner.
"Burnt, completely burnt out… Me…" Naruto stretched out his right hand towards the bus's disappearing figure, trembling as he looked at the familiar license plate.
Of course, nothing like blacking out and waking up in the hospital happened. Naruto was just late for one class.
Konoha Bluebird Academy, a nationally famous middle school in the Land of Fire, provides many outstanding new students to major universities. Bluebird Academy is also the most famous academy in the Land of Fire.
Of course, it can't be ruled out that this is because the school is located in Konoha Town, the most developed area in the Land of Fire.
In short, Bluebird Academy is well-regarded by all the students who have attended.
Except for Naruto.
Standing alone at the school gate, looking unhappy, Hinata gave Naruto an apologetic look, and could only follow behind the older students.
Neji, wearing a disciplinary committee armband and holding a notebook, looked at Naruto expressionlessly: "Name."
"Don't you know me…" Naruto mumbled softly.
"Hmm?" Neji's face instantly turned cold, "Don't think that just because you're Miss Hinata's boyfriend, I won't punish you. Anyone who is late even by a second will be recorded, and you! Uzumaki Naruto... are a whole forty-five minutes late!" M.Ι.
Neji coldly harrumphed. His white eyes gave off a cold light: "Now, tell me your name."
Naruto: "...".
Are you deliberately picking a fight?
Although he really wanted to say that, Naruto didn't dare. He could only reply with a sad face: "Uzumaki Naruto."
"Class."
"Third year, Class A."
"Who is your homeroom teacher?"
"Hatake Kakashi."
"Very good." Neji nodded with satisfaction, put away the notebook he was recording in, and looked at Naruto. "We will tell Kakashi-sensei about this, and you will be punished by Kakashi-sensei and the school. As for the punishment, go to the disciplinary committee after school at noon and they will tell you."
"Got it." Naruto nodded weakly.
"Hmph." Neji looked up, a smile appearing on his lips, then turned and walked towards the school area.
Behind him, Tenten and Lee also exchanged helpless glances, giving Naruto looks that said they couldn't help him, before following Neji away.
After everyone left, Hinata came to Naruto's side, her face red: "I'm sorry Naruto-kun, my brother Neji seems to be a little upset... about me going to your house last time."
"Ah, it's okay." Naruto smiled and reached out to hold Hinata's small hand. "If my sister ran off to her so-called boyfriend's house overnight, I might be even worse than Neji."
Of course, don't misunderstand. Hinata's main purpose in going to Naruto's house was to meet his parents. Nothing like 'my parents weren't home' or 'my period came' or anything like that happened.
Hinata's face turned even redder as she had her hand held by the person she loved. She nodded gently, "I made you a lunchbox. Let's eat it together when you get back."
"Okay." Naruto nodded happily.
They looked at each other, both showing knowing smiles on their faces, and walked towards the classroom hand in hand.
No one objected. These two had been throwing dog food [showing off their relationship] since elementary school, and now it's been a year and a half of middle school. Everyone at school knows.
Any objections? No objections.
Just silently eat the dog food.
Arriving at the classroom door, Hinata knocked gently. Kakashi's weak voice came from inside: "Come in."
Pushing open the classroom door, Hinata pulled Naruto in.
Kakashi was standing on the platform, wearing a suit, a mask on his face, dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes seemed to have no light, just mechanically looking at the two of them: "You're here."
Naruto was still self-aware... this was definitely directed at him.
Laughing awkwardly, Naruto rubbed the back of his head: "Well, yeah."
"You still have the nerve to say 'yeah'?" Kakashi looked at Naruto blankly.
Naruto: "..."
He swallowed, smiling sheepishly.
"Sigh." Kakashi shook his head helplessly. "After school this afternoon, all the toilets in the entire teaching building are yours."
"What!" Naruto shouted in disbelief, "There are at least twenty toilets in the entire teaching building! You're trying to kill me!"
Kakashi stared at Naruto with dead fish eyes.
Naruto: "..."
"Can, can we talk about this…" he mumbled quietly.
"Or would you like the toilets in the next teaching building as well?" Kakashi asked.
"No, I'm sorry." Naruto refused, waving his hand.
This afternoon... the toilets in the other teaching building also belonged to Naruto. This was the disciplinary committee's request.
In the end, it was Hinata who helped him clean up, barely allowing Naruto to get home before dark.
