Madara Uchiha looked at Hashirama Senju and felt somewhat amused. This big fool really was a handful. But when he turned to look at Tobirama, his expression became icy.
"Heh, so you still want to kill my brother again?" Madara Uchiha unleashed his full presence. Tobirama Senju gritted his teeth, inwardly cursing, "That evil Madara Uchiha!"
"Madara, please calm down first. I guarantee with my character that Tobirama will definitely not do anything so impulsive again!" Hashirama Senju quickly stepped forward to block Madara's pressure.
Madara Uchiha sighed. "I believe you. Besides, he won't have another chance to harm Izuna. If Izuna really wanted to kill him, just activating Susanoo would be enough. The Flying Thunder God Technique would only let him survive a little longer."
Tobirama Senju gritted his teeth. He understood that Madara was speaking the truth, but that didn't stop him from disliking both of them.
"Madara, since Izuna has been revived, can you stay!" Hashirama, not yet resurrected, grabbed Madara Uchiha's arm, his face pleading.
Madara Uchiha was visibly moved. He glanced at Izuna, who turned his head away. Izuna respected his brother's choice, but this time, Tobirama Senju better not try any underhanded tricks against his brother!
Madara Uchiha then smiled warmly and nodded. Hashirama Senju laughed, like a child. He said, "Madara, this time you must become the Fourth Hokage! No matter who comes, nothing can stop me this time!"
"Brother! You!" Tobirama Senju gritted his teeth. Seeing the coldness and seriousness in Hashirama's eyes at this moment, he knew Hashirama was serious this time.
But Madara Uchiha shook his head. "Hashirama, I understand that my personality after losing Izuna was too radical and not suitable for the position of Hokage." After saying this, he glanced at Tobirama.
This was exactly the method Tobirama had used back then, choosing the democratic approach and preventing Madara Uchiha from ascending to the Hokage position. Now that Madara said it himself, Tobirama couldn't help but feel somewhat ashamed.
Meanwhile, Pakura, though she couldn't understand what they were saying, awkwardly walked towards Izuna Uchiha and said shyly, "You, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Izuna Uchiha's attitude towards any other shinobi was the same. "Stay away from me." Then he walked towards Madara Uchiha, his face full of smiles.
Madara Uchiha thought for a moment, sizing up Pakura. Pakura bowed to him, and he nodded slowly. Very polite. But matters with Hashirama were more important.
Madara Uchiha looked at Hashirama Senju. "Hashirama, although I once cared deeply about the Hokage position you spoke of, I no longer have any interest in it now. However, I can stay and protect Konoha with you, fulfilling our childhood dream."
Hashirama Senju wanted to persuade him further, but Tobirama Senju said, "Brother, if Madara Uchiha doesn't want the position, don't force him!"
Izuna Uchiha had a sudden idea. "Lord First Hokage, although my brother doesn't want it, what about my grandson, Ryun Uchiha? Ah, right, he is also your granddaughter's fiancé!"
Hashirama Senju's pupils shrank. "Oh~ Young man, so you are Tsuna's fiancé! Uchiha, Senju! Good! Good! Good! The two of you are the bond between our two clans!"
He seemed very excited. Tsunade blushed. How could he say something like that? Grandpa was really lacking tact! Ryun Uchiha simply smiled. "Yes, it's me."
"No, Izuna Uchiha, are you crazy? Such a young child, what does he know about politics?" Tobirama Senju immediately objected.
Izuna Uchiha's lips curved into a smile. You, innately evil Tobirama Senju, you finally asked me for a reason!
Everyone else nodded in agreement. Then Izuna Uchiha took out a book from a scroll and threw it right at Tobirama Senju's face. It was very satisfying.
"See for yourself. If you had this kind of strength and intelligence at his age, I would have been able to make the Uchiha clan surrender to your Senju clan!" Izuna Uchiha laughed, feeling a sense of superiority. His grandson was invincible!
Tobirama Senju caught the book with his face. He originally wanted to tear it up, but somehow, he ended up opening it. His expression changed from disdain to appreciation, then to shock, and finally his eyes lit up.
Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, curious, also took a look. After seeing it, they both looked at Ryun Uchiha with scrutinizing eyes. You kid are a monster.
Finally, Tobirama Senju closed the book. He took a deep breath and looked at Ryun Uchiha, nodding. "I have no objections. Monkey, what do you say?"
The four legendary figures looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi. What could Hiruzen say? He sighed. "I agree to relinquish the Hokage position. After all, I watched Ryun rise step by step with my own eyes. I originally thought it was too soon, but since everyone feels this way, tomorrow I will pass the position to Ryun Uchiha!"
He felt as if a weight had been lifted, all responsibilities set down in an instant. His bent back straightened. He looked at Tobirama Senju. Tobirama Senju's lips curved upward. "Monkey, you've worked hard all these years! Your teacher is proud of you!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi scratched his head and chuckled. Even now in his forties, his teacher's praise still meant a lot to him!
"Alright, everyone, please step back. I am going to resurrect the First Hokage and the Second Hokage now," Ryun Uchiha said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone stepped back. Pakura and her group were personally watched by Madara Uchiha. Just him standing there was pressure enough!
The other Suna-nin already wanted to return to their village, but their leader, Pakura, insisted on staying to see this technique, though actually she wanted to see Izuna Uchiha's handsome face.
Madara Uchiha understood the situation. Scorch Release. Not unworthy of his family's precious... brother. He smiled slightly and walked up to Pakura. "Young lady, do you have feelings for my brother?"
Pakura was stunned. She wanted to refuse immediately, but the words wouldn't come out. She lowered her head and then gave a slight nod.
Madara Uchiha's lips curved upward. "I don't object. However, you must join Konoha."
Pakura snapped back to reality. She bore the hope of Suna's revival. She couldn't ruin her clansmen's expectations because of personal feelings.
"Sorry, I think Izuna and I are not really suitable. Farewell!" Pakura waved her hand, signaling everyone to retreat. The Suna-nin breathed a sigh of relief.
Madara Uchiha was not disappointed. Instead, his eyes lit up. As a clan leader from the Warring States Period, he understood Pakura's meaning. He smiled and murmured, "A responsible young lady. Seems even more suited for Izuna!"
Izuna Uchiha was still fully focused on watching Ryun Uchiha. He definitely was going to protect his grandson's safety!
Tsunade was ready to catch Ryun Uchiha at any moment. She gently bit her red lip, her palms sweaty.
Although the ocular technique had a resurrection function, everyone knew such a technique must come with huge losses and a severe burden!
Tobirama Senju looked at the young man before him, sighing inwardly. He was more outstanding than his brother, more outstanding than himself. Subduing the enemy without fighting. A casualty ratio of one to five or six. Tobirama Senju admitted he couldn't do that.
Hashirama Senju looked at Ryun Uchiha with a gentle expression. This young man had the Uchiha's power and a natural leader's qualities. Most importantly, he had a sense of responsibility, loved Tsunade, and was willing to sacrifice a Mangekyō Sharingan for her. That was enough for Hashirama to provide full support for Ryun Uchiha!
