"Madara-sama? Why do you call Madara-sama?"

Hearing his greeting, Hashirama Senju brought his face close to the window again, his face almost taking up the entire window, filled with anticipation and joy.

"Are you also a member of the Uchiha clan?"

"Eh, I'm not a member of the Uchiha clan. Didn't I say before? I'm just an ordinary commoner." Realizing he had accidentally revealed his past life's title and noticing Tobirama Senju's increasingly scrutinizing gaze, Ishigami gave an embarrassed smile. "That was just a habitual way of addressing me."

"A habitual way of addressing him? Madara actually receives such a title from Konoha's juniors?!" Hearing Ishigami's words, Hashirama Senju's expression also turned serious. He rested his right hand on his left, stroking his chin. "It seems Madara must be highly respected in Konoha!"

Shijian: ...

If Madara Uchiha were to defect one day, just like in the original storyline, then the First Hokage would bear a heavy responsibility!

"Hmph, what use is the respect of a mere brat!"

However, the praise of being a friend of the bond seemed to have cheered Madara up quite a bit. His originally gloomy face had also dissipated considerably. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, walked behind Hashirama, and looked down at the stone ravine opposite from Hashirama's head, speaking in a calm tone.

"Kid, what time is it? Why are you up so late!"

"Ban, don't say that, he's just a child!"

"Children? Ridiculous. Back in our day, six-year-olds were already on the battlefield. It seems the kids in Konoha are becoming increasingly useless!"

"..."

Listening to the conversation between the two giants of Konoha, Shi Jian couldn't help but twitch his lips.

I have to say, this scene looks pretty familiar!

Unexpectedly, as a time traveler, he not only heard Hashirama Senju say that he was still just a child, but also heard Madara complain that each generation was worse than the last.

At that moment, Tobirama Senju, who had been watching, squeezed in, looking at Ishigami with a calm expression. "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to work out, and I'll take you guys for a walk while I'm at it!

"Training?" Madara Uchiha glanced up and down at the stone ravine, his tone seemingly curious. "How does one train?"

"Run two laps."

"Just like that?"

"Yes!"

"What about weights? What about the training in concealed weapons?"

"No!"

"Foolish, lazy, what's the point of such training?"

"..."

Shijian stared speechlessly at Madara, who loved to lecture others. And this time, not only Madara, but also Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju nodded in agreement.

"Simply running is just a warm-up; it doesn't really train a ninja's body and is just a waste of time," Tobirama Senju explained professionally, frowning as he added, "Are ninja training for future Konoha kids this childish? They should at least start with carrying 100 pounds of weight!"

"I haven't started school yet, so strictly speaking, I shouldn't be considered a ninja." Looking at the three people's opinions on training, Shi Jian's face showed helplessness again.

One of the entrance exams for the Ninja Academy tests a child's physical fitness; failing it results in being rejected. Therefore, in order to attend the Ninja Academy, he has been training diligently lately, and...

"I was planning to show you around the future Konoha, right? Since you don't want to, I'm going to train. Bye!"

The voice just fell.

"Wait a minute!" X3

The three men, who had initially acted like teachers, immediately reached out to stop them.

Hashirama Senju: Cough cough cough, he's still just a child, it's normal for him to take a rest.

Uchiha Madara: Hmph!

Tobirama Senju: It's also important to balance work and rest.

Each person said one sentence, but the content of each sentence was completely different, which made Shi Jian look at them with a strange expression.

"Cough cough cough~" Tobirama Senju was the first to recover, looking at Konoha across the street through the window, "Is that the future Konoha Village? It looks quite peaceful."

"That clan crest, that clan crest!" At that moment, Hashirama Senju seemed to have discovered something, pointing excitedly ahead, "Madara, look, that looks like one of your clansmen!"

Madara, who was standing nearby, had also seen them. When he saw the guys with Uchiha fans on their clothes appearing on the street, he was taken aback, but in less than a second, his gaze became deep again.

Wasn't he already a defector and killed?

Why is it that the Uchiha clan... his clansmen still live in the future Konoha?

And what about the inscription on the stone tablet last night... Is it true or false?

Was he really wrong?

"They are indeed the Uchiha clan." At this moment, Uchiha research expert Tobirama Senju also turned his gaze to the Uchiha clan. However, seeing the arrogant Uchiha clan, he frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then looked at Shijian, "What are those guys doing?"

"Violent law enforcement... oops, it should be maintaining the stability and peace of Konoha," Shijian explained. "The Uchiha clan is Konoha's guard force, mainly responsible for maintaining the internal order of the village."

"Is the Uchiha clan protecting the peace of Konoha?" Upon hearing Ishigami's words, Hashirama Senju burst into laughter. "What a sight!"

He just kept smiling, then seemed to sense that something was wrong and scratched his head.

"But why does it seem like everyone dislikes those Uchiha clan members?"

At this moment, Uchiha Madara, who was standing next to him, also noticed it. His brows furrowed again, and his eyes were filled with confusion and doubt. It seemed that the thought he had just suppressed had resurfaced. But before he could speak, Ishigami's voice rang out again.

"Those are troublemakers from Konoha!"

"A troublemaker from Konoha?" X3

"Ignore them!" Seeing the three puzzled looks on their faces, Shi Jian changed the subject without hesitation, chuckled, and said, "That's the Hokage Rock up ahead, take a look!"

Then, the camera shifted to the Hokage Rock.

"You probably don't have the Fire Shadow Rock carved where you are yet, right?"

As he finished speaking, the three of them turned their attention to the Hokage Rock. Although they were basically certain of the First Hokage after yesterday's events and the village's appeals, the Hokage Rock was indeed not yet finished being carved.

"I see it, I see it, that's me. The sculpture is quite handsome. And the second one really is Tobirama?" Hashirama Senju, who had been beaming with joy, paused after seeing that the second one was Tobirama. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Madara's gloomy face, opened his mouth, and murmured, "Madara…"

"..."

Madara ignored Hashirama Senju and continued to stare at the portrait on the Hokage Rock with a gloomy expression.

Although he had already heard last night that he had not become Hokage, seeing it with his own eyes still caused a surge of anger to rise in his heart.

Especially after seeing that the Second Hokage was indeed that despicable villain, coupled with the stone tablet he saw last night... he increasingly doubted whether his decision was right or wrong!

"..."

Tobirama seemed to notice Madara's odd behavior as well. After giving him a subtle glance, he scanned the Hokage Rock and finally fixed his gaze on Ishigaki. "Is it already the Fourth Hokage? Is the village under his jurisdiction now?"

"No, it's still the Third Hokage."

"???" x3
