Chapter 17

recounts

"What time is it? You're still sleeping?" Looking at the lazy figure, Madara Uchiha said with displeasure, "Hmph, laziness can't make you a powerful ninja!"

"I'm still just a child!"

"Six years old is old enough to go to the battlefield."

"Sorry, I'm only at the age where I'm just starting school."

"That's enough of this pointless chatter." Seeing the two of them had somehow started talking, Tobirama Senju interrupted them, looking at Ishigami with a serious expression. "Kid, it's time to tell you about yesterday."

"..."

Hearing this, Shi Jian calmed down, then scratched his head with an awkward smile, seemingly unsure of where to begin.

But Tobirama Senju didn't give him time to hesitate. He crossed his arms, his eyes filled with a meaningful look, "Haven't figured out how to make this up yet? An otherworldly being from another world!"

"Alright, alright! But I'm not lying." Shi Jian sighed, then said without further hesitation, "I do come from another world..."

As Shi Jian gave his brief explanation, a look of shock flashed across the eyes of the three people. They looked at Shi Jian across from them with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism.

Reincarnation?

From a world without chakra?

At this moment, all three fell silent. Tobirama Senju's face showed contemplation; although he had doubts, he did not completely doubt them.

Madara Uchiha's forehead veins bulged, and he suspected that this guy was just fooling the three of them.

As for Hashirama Senju... his eyes were filled with shock and curiosity.

Because of this, Hashirama Senju was the first to recover. He grabbed the window and, with an excited tone, looked at the stone stream opposite him, "This is unbelievable! I never thought another world really existed. Stone stream, tell me what your world is like. There's no chakra or ninjas. Doesn't that world have wars?"

"Apart from the lack of ninjas and chakra, everything else is basically the same, except that the technology is a bit more advanced." Shi Jian pondered for a moment, "As for war... although there is no chakra, war still exists."

"Huh? Even without chakra, the war will still continue?"

"Alright, let's talk about this another time!" At this moment, Tobirama Senju interrupted Hashirama directly, even pushing his older brother, whose face was almost filling the window, aside. Looking at the stone stream opposite, he said, "Let's assume for now that you come from another world... but even if you do come from another world, that doesn't explain why you know those secrets. Or rather... someone from another world should feel even more unfamiliar with this world."

"Well..." Now that things had come to this point, Shi Jian didn't hide anything anymore. Looking at the three people opposite him, he said in a serious tone, "Although it's incredibly unbelievable, it's truly true. As for how I know this? It's because my world has stories about your world..."

After Shi Jian explained again, the three of them were stunned once more, their expressions even more shocked than when they first heard about another world.

A story?!

The story of Naruto?!

How... how is this possible?

"Stop joking around, our world is just a story?" Madara Uchiha couldn't hold back any longer, his face darkening as he stared at the person opposite him. "Kid, even if you're trying to fool people, there should be a limit!"

"That's right, that's right." Hashirama Senju nodded solemnly. "Ishigami, how could our world be just a story?"

"It's incredible, but I'm not lying. As for why, I don't know why either." Shi Jian spread his hands, then seemed to think of something, "Of course, there's a saying in our world... every book is a world, and that might be appropriate here as well."

"Is every book a world? That's certainly a philosophical statement." Tobirama Senju, who was deep in thought, nodded, then looked at the stone stream opposite him. "Although I still have doubts—after all, it's a very incredible thing—I can also believe it's true. But how will you prove it's true?"

After these words were spoken, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha calmed down slightly, and the three of them looked at the stone stream again.

"Is it confirmed?" Shi Jian wasn't surprised. If someone told him that his world was a story, he would probably wonder if the other person had lost their mind.

He pondered for a moment, "Hmm, let me think about how to verify this."

"It's quite simple to verify." A unique glint flashed in Tobirama Senju's eyes, and a meaningful smile played on his lips. "Just tell me the secret of the world you've seen."

"The secret of this world..."

Before Shijian could finish speaking, Uchiha Madara, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something. A flash of scarlet light appeared in his eyes, and he said in a serious tone, "I do have a very good secret now."

As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the stone ravine opposite her. "If everything you said is true, did the story mention any secrets hidden at the Nanga Shrine?"

"The secret of Naga Shrine?" Before Ishigami could even speak, Hashirama Senju interjected curiously, "Madara, what other secrets does Naga Shrine hold?"

"Shut up!"

"All right!"

"That's not bad." Looking at Hashirama, who had obediently shut up after Madara's words, Ishigami's lips twitched involuntarily, but he still nodded and said, "The secret hidden in the Naka Shrine, Madara must be the stone tablet that the Uchiha clan has guarded for generations!"

"?!"

Does this guy really know?

As soon as he finished speaking, Madara could no longer control himself. His kaleidoscope eyes started spinning instantly. If it weren't for the fact that the two were separated by more than fifty years, Madara would probably have already rushed to the stone stream by now.

"Tell me quickly, what do you know?!"

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, who were watching this scene, both glanced at Madara, and Tobirama's gaze became more profound.

The secret of Nanga Shrine?

Judging from Madara Uchiha's reaction, which suggests a very important secret?

"Don't worry, don't worry, you must be referring to the inscription on the stone tablet!" Shi Jian reassured Uchiha Madara, then added in a serious tone, "But I can tell you, the inscription is false."

"Fake?! That's impossible!" Madara Uchiha's voice rose instantly. "How could it be fake! That's a stone monument that the Uchiha clan has protected for generations!"

He looked like he was about to have a seizure, which startled Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju who were standing nearby.

In particular, Tobirama Senju, who was very familiar with the Uchiha clan, even took out his specially made kunai.

As for Hashirama Senju… he placed his right hand directly on Madara's shoulder, his expression serious. “Madara, calm down, listen to what they have to say!”

"I..." Feeling the strong, heavy hand on his shoulder, Ban calmed down slightly. He took a deep breath, looked at Shi Jian again, and after a moment of silence, said, "Sorry, please continue!"

"I didn't lie, it was indeed fake... no, it should be said, it was altered." Hearing Madara's apology, Ishigami was also somewhat surprised, but after a moment of silence, he continued, "There was something I misspoke about before. Although Madara was killed by Lord Hashirama, he didn't actually die!"

"?!" x3

He didn't really die?

What happened?

Before the three could even ask anything...

Then Shi Jian said, "No, Madara should have really died back then, but he used his Sharingan to use Izanagi to rewrite the truth of his death and thus survived."
