Chapter 11
Discovery
"Since I've made a promise, I will keep it!"
"Hmph, this future Konoha brat is really arrogant! Don't blame me if he doesn't learn it by then."
"Furthermore, you should know that no ninjutsu is absolute. As you said before, even I, who learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the future Fourth Hokage still died."
"I know, I'll give up if I can't learn it." Hearing Tobirama Senju's teachings, Ishigami's expression also became serious. He knew... the Second Hokage wanted him to understand not to rely too much on powerful ninjutsu.
Moreover, it wasn't that he really wanted to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. No, if he could learn it, he would want to, but if he really couldn't, then he would have to give up. For him right now...
I've only just started school; it's not too late to learn other ninjutsu later.
"It's good that you know." Seeing the look in Ishigami's eyes, Tobirama Senju's face also showed a satisfied smile, and then he continued, "Since you know about the Flying Thunder God Technique, you should know the difficulties in learning it."
"Is the difficulty of the Flying Thunder God Technique?" Shi Jian pondered, recalling the anime from his previous life. "Reaction time and...sensory perception?"
"That's right." Upon hearing Ishigami's answer, Tobirama Senju showed a hint of surprise, but still nodded. "It's about reaction and perception. That's why I don't agree with your choice of this ninjutsu. For a child who hasn't even been to school, it's too difficult to accurately perform these two steps."
Seeing that Tobirama Senju had actually begun to teach, Ishigami also became serious and wrote down everything Tobirama Senju said, but he didn't notice... at this moment, a meaningful look flashed across Tobirama Senju's eyes.
He spoke while watching Shijian's reaction, but before he could say two words, then...
"Wait, wait, Tobirama, stop!" Hashirama Senju interrupted Tobirama's lesson, looking exasperated. "We don't have much time left. Are you going to start teaching now? I was about to look around a bit more!"
As she spoke, she pointed to a group of people wearing clothing with the Uchiha clan crest, "Didn't they say the Uchiha clan is the village's security force? Why do they look... well, I always had a feeling the Uchiha clan doesn't have a very good relationship with the village?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tobirama Senju realized that this was not the time to teach, and said to Ishigami, "You should train your body first! Space-time ninjutsu also requires a strong physique."
After saying that, he looked in the direction his elder brother had pointed.
Madara Uchiha, who was next to Hashirama Senju, had already looked over, but after seeing the expressions of disgust on the faces of the future Konoha villagers towards their future clansmen, Madara's face darkened again.
Last night's stone tablet... made him doubt the peace of the future, but seeing the future peace of Konoha made him question the records on the Uchiha stone tablet. However, now seeing his future clansmen being hated has made him start to doubt again.
Will the future really be as he imagines?
Even Tobirama Senju was the same; looking at the scene before him, his brows furrowed.
Although he disliked the inherently evil Uchiha clan, the Senju and Uchiha clans had fought each other for generations, so he knew that the Uchiha clan's emotions were very unstable and they could easily go to extremes.
This is also why he called the Uchiha clan inherently evil.
It wasn't just that he hated the Uchiha clan, although he certainly did.
However, the Uchiha clan is now part of Konoha. Although the Uchiha clan was defeated by the Senju clan and then joined them after being accepted by their elder brother, there is no doubt that Konoha was jointly established by the Senju and Uchiha clans.
Even he knew that no matter how much he disliked the Uchiha clan, he couldn't take action against them at this time. In fact, he had to help the Uchiha clan integrate into Konoha. Otherwise, if he attacked the Uchiha clan, it would not only cause concern among the ninja clans that had just joined Konoha, but the newly established Konoha would also collapse in an instant.
Did he fail to integrate the Uchiha clan into Konoha in the future?
only……
Tobirama Senju's face still held a mocking expression. "So many years have passed, and the inherently evil Uchiha clan is still as arrogant as ever. Can't they even integrate into the village?"
"..."
Madara Uchiha, who had always disliked Tobirama Senju, did not refute these words; in fact, his face darkened.
After all, Tobirama Senju was right.
If that despicable person were still alive, it wouldn't matter. Needless to say, it's definitely this guy targeting the Uchiha!
But even though this guy is dead, the Uchiha clan hasn't changed at all in the future?
They're a complete bunch of useless trash!
"Little fellow." Tobirama Senju pondered for a moment, seemingly sensing something amiss. Looking at the stone stream opposite him, which was also gazing at the Uchiha clan, he spoke with a grave tone, "Has something happened? Why do those villagers seem to harbor not just dislike, but also hatred towards the Uchiha clan? Has the animosity between the clans not dissipated after all these years?"
Moreover, even if there is hatred, it is hatred between ninjas and ninja families. What does it have to do with these civilians?
"Ah, Second Hokage wasn't mistaken." Hearing Tobirama Senju's words, Ishigami also withdrew his gaze, his face filled with emotion. "It truly is hatred!"
"???" x3
Before the three puzzled people could react, Shi Jian continued speaking.
"Didn't we say before that the Fourth Hokage chose to sacrifice himself to seal the Nine-Tails? At that time, the Nine-Tails suddenly went berserk, attacked Konoha, killed many people, and brought fear to the entire village."
"That's not right." At this moment, Hashirama Senju frowned again and asked in confusion, "What does the Nine-Tails' killing have to do with the Uchiha clan?"
Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju, as if understanding something, looked at Ishigami with a solemn expression and asked, "You mean... the future Nine-Tails' rampage is related to the Uchiha clan?"
"Yes." Shi Jian nodded. "After the Nine-Tails' rampage ended, some people saw the Nine-Tails being controlled that night and suspected that it was controlled by the Uchiha clan."
"?!"
After that, everyone understood what was going on.
Tobirama Senju's face once again revealed a mocking expression. "No wonder, as expected of the naturally evil Uchiha!"
"Wait, wait, Tobirama, don't say that yet." Hashirama Senju still refused to believe that the Uchiha clan had manipulated the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha. His face was serious as he looked at Ishigami. "Why do you say it was the Uchiha clan? Did someone else witness the Uchiha clan attack?"
"It's not that anyone saw it with their own eyes, but I heard that the attackers at the time had Sharingan." Now that he'd said this, Shijian didn't hide anything anymore. "And the Uchiha clan didn't send any ninjas to help at the time."
"!!!"
No support?
Upon hearing Shi Jian's words, the three of them were stunned once again.
What exactly did the Uchiha clan do in the future?
At this moment, even Madara Uchiha didn't know what to say. Since he had chosen to join Konoha, and saw Konoha being attacked, what else was there to say if he didn't go to help?
Before the three could ask any questions, Shi Jian turned the camera around again, saying, "Judging by the time, it should be about time. Let's not talk about it anymore, let's look around some more!"
Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha realized that time was indeed running out, and besides, a child... probably wouldn't get any information out of him.
Madara Uchiha, in particular, had originally planned to ask Ishigami about the stone tablet today, but when he actually wanted to ask, he hesitated.
After all, he didn't know if the secret of the stone tablet would be exposed in the future.
However, just as Ishigami turned the camera around, Tobirama Senju stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute!"
"???"
Shi Jian looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"I have one last question," Tobirama Senju said, his expression turning serious. "But I expect you to answer me honestly, Ishigami!"
"What's the problem?" Looking at Tobirama Senju's sudden seriousness, Ishigami's face showed some surprise. "Is it about the Uchiha clan?"
"No, it's not about the Uchiha clan, it's about you..." Tobirama Senju paused slightly, his eyes sharp as he looked at Ishigami.
The sudden shift to an eerie atmosphere puzzled both Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, who seemed confused as to what Tobirama Senju (that despicable man) was up to again, but before they could ask, they remained silent.
Senju Tobirama stared intently at the stone stream opposite him without blinking, his entire body radiating a terrifying aura that seemed to still envelop the future stone stream even after decades.
He said, enunciating each word clearly, "Shijian, who exactly are you?!"
"???"
