Chapter 22: Tobirama Loses It(2)
🕑 Added 2025-01-31 09:11:25 +0000 UTC[Senju Tobirama: ARGHHH! I'm so pissed off! Hiruzen, How could you be so foolish?! You let them walk all over you, right up to your own doorstep and they were practically shitting on your head, and you still thanked them for it?!
Why the hell did I choose him as a hokage?! Sarutobi, you disgusting monkey!]
Among all the Hokages of Konoha, Senju Tobirama, was undoubtedly the most cunning and ruthless.
Unlike his indecisive elder brother, he never hesitated in his approach. Whether dealing with internal matters or foreign threats, his policies were always crushing. If Cloud Village dared to provoke their village like this, his response would be simple.
Crush them thoroughly.
He would have gone to war without a second thought, just to see if those Cloud Village Ninjas still dared to act so unruly in Hidden Leaf Village.
[Senju Hashirama: How? How could this happen?]
[Senju Tobirama: Hiruzen, you bastard! I trained you, I trusted you, and I personally chose you as Hokage! Is this how you repaid me?!]
[Hyuga Hizashi: Second Hokage, please calm down. Lord Third Hokage didn't want to do this, but back then…]
[Senju Tobirama: You're actually defending him?! Are you fucking stupid?! No matter how many excuses you make, no matter how necessary it was, nothing justifies what he did. NOTHING!]
[Hyuga Hizashi: But, Lord Second, look at how prosperous our village is today. That compromise allowed the village to develop into what it is now. If we hadn't made that decision back then, the village might not be as strong as it is today]
[Senju Tobirama: BULLSHIT!!!]
[What's the point of this so-called 'prosperity' if it was built on cowardice and surrender?! If this is what 'prosperity' means, then I would rather we never had it in the first place]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Oh dear, Second Hokage, don't be so harsh. As we already know, your disciple is very skilled at brainwashing!]
[Senju Tobirama: What did you just say?]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Just look at Hyuga Hizashi. They sold him out, and yet here he is, still defending them.]
[They threw him away like an undersized sandals, yet he still speaks as if it was the right thing to do. His dignity was stripped away, but he still thinks he made a noble sacrifice. Now tell me, Second Hokage, isn't your disciple terrifying?]
[Uchiha Madara: Sarutobi's brainwashing skills really are something else. Even I have to admit it. When it comes to brainwashing, he's probably the strongest of us all.]
Fugaku never wasted an opportunity to criticize the village's leadership.
Whenever he got the chance, he would attack them mercilessly and he wasn't even wrong. His words were undeniably true.
To make matters worse, Fugaku despised the Hyuga Clan.
The Hyuga were supposed to be among Konoha's great clans. Yet the Hyuga were obedient lapdogs to the village, bowing their heads instead of standing tall. They were an embarrassment to him. A so-called great clan that willingly let themselves be used and discarded.
They were a fucking joke!
[Hyuga Hizashi: Fugaku, You have the nerve to talk?! If it weren't for the Uchiha Clan always stirring up trouble, always scheming for power, always trying to seize control—would we have needed to compromise with Cloud Village back then?!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: And why do you think we wanted power in the first place?!]
[The village's top brass was suppressing us from the start. If we hadn't been constantly pushed down, we wouldn't have needed to resist!]
[Hyuga Hizashi: Ha! You make it sound so noble.You led to your clan to its demise!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Fuck that! The Uchiha Clan is different from your Hyuga Clan. We valued our pride. We don't wag our tails and act like obedient dogs, unlike you, a fool who got sold out and still thanked them for it!]
[Hyuga Hizashi: You—!]
Hizashi realized he couldn't win against Fugaku in a war of words.
Back when he was alive, Fugaku never talked this much. Why did he became so damn talkative after death? Had he been holding in all this resentment while stuck in the Pure Land, just waiting for someone to argue with?
His mouth was running like it had a motor installed, rattling off insults non-stop!
[Hyuga Hizashi: Hmph! I won't waste my breath on you!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: What's there to waste? You are already fucking dead, dumbass!]
[Hyuga Hizashi: FUGAKU!!]
[Senju Tobirama: Enough! Both of you, shut up. In this case, the Uchiha Clan is not to blame. Sigh, If we're pointing fingers, then the blame me for putting my trust in the wrong person. I was wrong to believe in Hiruzen]
[If I had known he would turn out like this, I would have given the Hokage position to Danzo instead!]
[Senju Hashirama: Tobirama, don't be so hard on yourself. This isn't your fault…]
[Senju Tobirama: No, brother! This is my fault! How could I have raised and entrusted the village to someone with zero brain cells?!]
[I spent my whole life building my reputation, maintaining my pride and today, it's all gone. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have given the position to Sarutobi Hiruzen. If I had choosed Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, or Mitokado Homura, at least this wouldn't have happened]
[Makoto Ito: Hate to break it to you, but you're in for another disappointment. Because those three also agreed to this decision.]
[Senju Tobirama: ...]
[Hyuga Hizashi: But, Second Hokage… it's the correct decision]
[Senju Tobirama: .....Just kill me at this point.]
At this moment, Tobirama felt like his entire world had collapsed. 'What kind of people did I train back then?'
He had carefully selected and trained his students, pouring years of his life into molding them into strong leaders.
And what had come of it? A group of weak-willed cowards who sell out their own people in the name of peace?
[Hyuga Hizashi: Second Hokage, please don't blame yourself. After all, the Third Hokage only did what he thought was best for Konoha. At the very least, the village has prospered under his rule, hasn't it?]
[Namikaze Minato: That's right! If we look at the results, our village has flourished under Third Hokage's leadership. his decisions might not align with your ideals....But there's no denying that he is an excellent Hokage!]
[...…]
After listening to their words for a long time, Tobirama finally calmed down.
[Senju Tobirama: Fine, Fine, Enough of this. I will try to see some of his good points…]
The conversation continued for a long while, with everyone finally uncovering the full story behind Hyuga Hizashi's death.
Meanwhile, in the real world, Makoto stood in the playground with his classmates.
He looked across the vast field. From the youngest students to the senior classes, hundreds of students had gathered for the brainwashing session.
No, The Will of Fire preaching session!
