Future and Past

"Tobirama, you've had something from the future buried again? What did you bury?"

"It wasn't me!"

Upon hearing his elder brother's words, Tobirama Senju immediately snapped out of his reverie and stared at his brother speechlessly.

"And this thing was clearly discovered by the inherently evil Uchiha Madara." Saying this, Tobirama Senju crossed his arms and looked at Uchiha Madara, who was also frowning and looking at the small box that Ishigami had picked up.

A hint of sarcasm played on his lips. "Shouldn't we be asking this guy?"

However, Madara Uchiha, despite having heard Tobirama Senju's words, did not immediately retort. Instead, he remained silent for a moment, then shook his head, saying, "I don't know."

Seeing Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju with a furrowed brow, he immediately understood what the two were trying to say, and said in an impatient tone, "I only activated the Mangekyou Sharingan because I noticed something was wrong."

As she spoke, her crimson eyes fell on the stone fox sculpture again. After a moment of contemplation, she spoke with a questioning tone, "That's a special kind of hand seal, only the Mangekyou Sharingan can detect it. But that despicable man was right, it should be something I left behind. But why would I leave something like that?"

"???"

When these words were spoken, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were taken aback. They probably understood what Madara Uchiha meant.

That thing was indeed left behind by Madara Uchiha, but it wasn't the current Madara Uchiha.

Furthermore, it seems to have left behind a special jutsu mark, which can only be detected by the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, this thing is different from the one left by Tobirama Senju before. The jutsu seal on the Hokage Rock was left by the present Tobirama Senju at the request of the past Tobirama Senju, but the thing next to the pool now is not left by the present Madara Uchiha at the request of the future Madara Uchiha.

Especially Tobirama Senju... compared to his older brother, he thought about things much more...

What was left behind by Madara Uchiha from that future era?

Why would he leave such a thing behind?

And he even deliberately left it with his Mangekyou Sharingan?

This is a public bathhouse, you know!

What kind of lunatic would suddenly turn on a kaleidoscope while taking a shower?

Moreover, awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan is not an easy task for the Uchiha clan. Therefore, it was Madara Uchiha from the future who deliberately allowed Madara Uchiha from the present to discover this thing.

Thinking of this, Tobirama Senju's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Madara Uchiha, who was also deep in thought beside him.

This guy seems to have guessed it too, but what exactly does that guy from the future want to do?

What information should I leave for my present self?

In just a moment, the sudden seal and the wooden box sparked a frantic series of thoughts in their minds.

The two of them were also subtly watching each other, as if each had their own thoughts.

At this moment, Hashirama Senju, looking utterly exasperated, scratched his head, then crossed his arms and sat down. With a serious expression, he looked at Ishigaki across from him. "Never mind that," he said, "let's just open it and see what's going on. Ishigaki, open that thing!"

Without hesitation, the stone stream that had been longing to be opened opened immediately after hearing Hashirama Senju's words.

It seems that the seal was only left on the stone fox sculpture, not on the box.

The moment the box was opened, the four of them saw what was inside.

A familiar... kunai?

"???" x4

The four of them blinked simultaneously. Then, Hashirama Senju slapped his thigh, looked up at his younger brother, and said, "Tobirama, you still say it wasn't you who left it?"

"..."

Damn it, I don't know either!

At this moment, Tobirama Senju's face also darkened, as if he hadn't expected that there would be a kunai with a magic seal inside.

Flying Thunder God Kunai?

wrong!!!

As if he had discovered something, Tobirama Senju frowned and stared intently at the kunai.

It's somewhat similar to the Flying Thunder God's hand seals, but there seem to be some differences as well.

What is this for?

However, he was devastated to discover that this thing was indeed something he had left behind.

Damn it, why is the future Madara Uchiha hiding his kunai?

At this moment, Madara, who was standing next to him, also recovered from his surprise. His Mangekyou Sharingan was still open, and he stared intently at the box, saying in a calm tone, "Kid, what's under that annoying kunai?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, who were standing nearby, also noticed it and looked at the box together again.

"Paper?"

"Idiot brother, it's a letter! Looks like it was left by the future, inherently evil Uchiha Madara." Tobirama Senju pondered for a moment, then frowned again. "What exactly does that guy want? Ishigaki, pick it up and take a look!"

However, before Tobirama Senju could finish speaking, Ishigami had already picked it up and opened it.

The moment the letter was unfolded, all four of them looked at it, and saw the first sentence:

Hey, Stone Stream brat, has my past self finally discovered the spell I left behind?

The four people: ...

Now they can finally confirm that this was indeed left by the future Madara Uchiha to the past Madara Uchiha.

And then continue reading...

Okay, to make a long story short, I know you have a lot of questions, but you can't ask them now. Just keep reading.

[Remember to hide that kunai well. It was left behind by that despicable man. It was originally prepared for you by him in the future, but unfortunately, that guy is dead. I don't know exactly how to use it, but I believe you will find out in the near future.]

Now, let's get back to the point. I know what you want to ask, but I can't really explain it clearly. Hashirama is dead, and that despicable guy is dead too. That's right, just like in the original story, I outlasted both of them. Hehehe~.

It's clear... that Madara Uchiha sounded rather smug as he wrote this!

"I've already encountered the Black Zetsu you mentioned. That guy is extremely cautious; he won't easily show himself unless he's absolutely certain. Of course, we don't need to worry about him. Now that I know that idiot's secret, that idiot can no longer control me."

"Heh~" Upon seeing this sentence, Tobirama Senju seemed to recall the events that had happened in the future and let out a disdainful sneer.

However, the letter seemed to have already guessed how Tobirama Senju would react, and continued:

[I know that evil Tobirama Senju is probably mocking me right now about Obito Uchiha and the Nine-Tails' rampage! But all I can say is that things didn't go as planned. Some things happened that I didn't expect, and I should have been dead by then.]
