Scene

"..."

Learn them all?

What does this brat think the Uchiha and Senju clans are?

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha and Tobirama Senju's faces darkened. It wasn't that they really wanted to teach the child, but... since the other party wanted to teach, they absolutely couldn't let them!

The two men looked at Shi Jian with hostility, and were about to say something when...

"Snap!"

Hashirama Senju clenched his right fist and slammed it into his left, looking at Ishigami with a pleased expression. "That's an excellent idea. In that case, Madara, Tobirama, and I will all teach together! The future doesn't seem very peaceful. Perhaps the three of us teaching together will bring some surprises in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha and Tobirama Senju, who had previously looked hostile, immediately calmed down.

Especially Tobirama Senju... He looked at his older brother with a meaningful gaze. His older brother always managed to... become a little clever at times like these!

He said casually, "I don't care. I've already decided to teach this child the Flying Thunder God Technique. Without a strong physique, he simply can't learn it."

"Hmph." Madara snorted coldly, looking at Shi Jian with a complex expression. "If you lose in a month, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Yes, Madara!"

Seeing that the two had agreed, Shi Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

What an unexpected surprise today!

Seeing that the two seemed about to say something more, he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, time is tight. What do you want to know today?"

After hearing this, the three of them came to their senses.

They still have a lot of questions to ask today.

"Kid, you still need to get more people to try channeling chakra into it." Tobirama Senju sighed, but then his expression turned serious. "Alright, let's get to the important thing first! Who is this Otsutsuki clan that the future naturally evil Madara Uchiha was talking about?"

"Well..." Seeing that the three of them were looking at him, Shi Jian understood that they must have discussed this issue beforehand. As he walked, he said, "That should be Otsutsuki Isshiki. Didn't we say that the Otsutsuki clan sent two people to the ninja world? One of them was Kaguya Otsutsuki, the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, who was sealed away by the Sage of Six Paths and his brother. The other one was Otsutsuki Isshiki. Although he was ambushed by Kaguya Otsutsuki and seriously injured, he still survived."

At this point, he paused for a moment, "It uses a unique ability of the Otsutsuki clan—the Wedge—to implant into the host's body. As time goes by or during battles, the data gradually thaws. When the data is completely thawed, the host's body will be completely replaced by the Otsutsuki to achieve resurrection. The Otsutsuki Isshiki Wedge was implanted into the body of a monk named Jigen a thousand years ago."

However, for some unknown reason—perhaps Jigen's Karma seal didn't match his reincarnation, or perhaps for other reasons—Otsutsuki Isshiki has yet to successfully reincarnate, remaining dormant in the ninja world. He even secretly created an organization called "Kara." That's all I know; I don't know much else.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the three people turned serious.

Reincarnation?

A monk from a thousand years ago?!

Who would have thought that besides Kaguya Otsutsuki, there was such a secret hidden in the ninja world?!

The three exchanged glances. Although they wanted to ask more questions, they realized that Shi Jian didn't seem to know much.

At this moment, Tobirama Senju pondered for a moment, then asked again, "Since you say the ninja world you saw is a story, then every story must have a protagonist. Who exactly is the protagonist of this story?"

"?!"

When Tobirama Senju asked about this, a hint of surprise flashed across Ishigami's face, as if he hadn't expected that Tobirama Senju would actually notice this.

But he didn't hide anything. Since he had already said so much, what was there left to hide?

"There are indeed main characters, and two of them... Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing these two familiar names, the three of them were taken aback once again.

"That blond brat and that arrogant brat?"

"That's right, and strictly speaking, those two brats are the reincarnations of Lord Hashirama and Lord Madara. Well, it should be said that they are the reincarnations of their chakra." Shi Jian continued, "The Sage of Six Paths had two sons named Indra and Ashura. For various reasons... their chakra got caught up in reincarnation, and each reincarnated person is entangled with the others. Lord Madara and Lord Hashirama were one generation, and in this era, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are the new generation."

"?!"

Chakra reincarnation?

Is he the reincarnation of Hashirama (me, my older brother) and Madara (me, the inherently evil Uchiha Madara)?

The three of them froze on the spot again. They never expected that the seemingly ordinary blond kid and arrogant brat would have such a background and be the protagonists of this story!

"Don't let Naruto's seemingly ordinary appearance fool you." As if guessing why the three were shocked, Ishigami said with a helpless tone, "Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage, and also the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki!"

"The Fourth Hokage's child?!" Hashirama Senju looked at Ishigami with a puzzled expression. "Didn't the Fourth Hokage sacrifice himself to protect Konoha? Why is his child being... well, bullied by the village?"

"This brings us to the troublemakers of Konoha..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju's faces darkened again, as if they were also thinking of those troublemakers from Konoha.

As for Uchiha Madara... he burst into laughter, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at Senju Tobirama, that despicable scoundrel.

"Ahem, ahem." Hashirama Senju coughed awkwardly twice. "Let's not talk about that." His eyes held a hint of curiosity. "Let's talk about those two main characters... oh, my reincarnation and Madara's!"

"Chakra reincarnation, you idiot!"

"Shall I tell you now?" Shi Jian scratched his head. "This story sounds a bit long. If you don't have any questions, then I'll tell you."

"Wait a minute." But before Ishigami could begin recounting the story of Naruto, Tobirama interrupted him, "Let's talk about that another time! Now, let's talk about something else, um, let's talk about the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo Shimura! I've taken them both on as students, and I'm planning to see how to teach them from now on."

"???"

They've already accepted him as a student?

So fast?

Shouldn't they have started recruiting after the Ninja Academy was established?

Before the bewildered Shi Jian could say anything, Madara beside him snorted coldly, arms crossed, "Why bring up those two brats? I want to hear about the Uchiha clan!"

"Madara Uchiha, you're inherently evil. I have no interest in arguing with you. The Uchiha clan? Can't you see that the Uchiha clan is living peacefully in Konoha?" Tobirama Senju frowned, looking at Madara Uchiha who was staring at him. "You should know that the brat you're talking about is the future Third Hokage of Konoha. Perhaps we can find some useful clues from him!"

"Hmph, I don't know. All I know is that the Uchiha clan seems to be targeted within Konoha!"

"Isn't it normal for your people to be targeted?"

"you……"

"Stop, stop, stop. Actually, the incident involving the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura also touches on the Uchiha clan," Ishigami interrupted them helplessly. "It's just that the Uchiha clan..."

At this point, he seemed unsure how to continue. Looking at the three people staring at him with confusion, Shi Jian chuckled awkwardly. Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Madara and said, "By the way, Madara, could you teach me a simple illusion technique that can make the images in my mind appear to others?"

"Able to create illusions and learn simple genjutsu?" Madara Uchiha frowned. "What's the point of learning such useless genjutsu?"

You have to understand that illusion magic is a delicate art; how could a useful illusion magic be easy to learn?

Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju, standing to the side, fell into deep thought, as if he had thought of something, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

But can the past and future be used?

"Madara, do you have one? If you do, please teach me!" Shi Jian grinned at Uchiha Madara. "If it works, maybe I can tell you stories in class someday!"

"Hmph, although those classes are incredibly boring, as a child and a ninja, it's your duty to listen attentively!" Madara snorted coldly, then pondered for a moment, "Fine, since you want to learn, I'll teach you!"

"Keep it simple!"

"……knew!"

Madara gave a sarcastic remark before launching into a tutorial on illusion techniques.

To be honest, it is indeed quite simple, but just like Madara said... it's not very useful?

To make someone fall under the spell, you need to make them believe in you and willingly accept your illusion. And even if they fall under the spell, it can be easily broken.

Therefore, whether an illusion works depends not on the caster, but on whether the recipient is willing to accept it.

Shi Jian didn't mind; as long as it worked, that was fine. He learned it briefly, and after feeling it was about right, he visualized the scene in his mind and formed hand seals in front of the three people opposite him. "Madara, Hashirama, Tobirama, don't resist! Let me test if it works!"

Before the three could say anything, Shi Jian had already finished the hand seals. Seeing this, Madara Uchiha frowned, but he suppressed his chakra and did not resist.

Hashirama Senju had a smile on his face, seemingly expectant, while Tobirama Senju... showed no expression whatsoever.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them voluntarily and successfully entered the illusion of the stone ravine.

A rough image, white patterns, black and white lines?

This illusion... it's better not to use it at all!

But this is... Konoha?

The future of Konoha?

The three people were stunned when they finally realized where they were, but before they could say anything...

Suddenly, two voices caught their attention.

"I am the Hokage!"

"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"

"Bang!"
