Could it be that his decision to divide the tailed beasts had truly been a mistake?
Even his own younger brother believed he had done something wrong. Now, even his closest friend, Uchiha Madara, thought so.
Had he really made the wrong choice?
Everything he had done was meant to bring peace to the ninja world. Wasn't his decision to distribute the tailed beasts made with the hope that wars would cease?
At this moment, Senju Hashirama found himself drowning in self-doubt.
Although he kept telling himself that he had done nothing wrong, a seed of guilt had already taken root in his heart.
---
[Senju Tobirama: Those damn bastards! They came under the guise of forming an alliance, only to try and steal Konoha's people. How utterly shameless!]
[Namikaze Minato: I've fought the Fourth Raikage before, so I have some understanding of him. He's definitely an ambitious man. It's not surprising that he would attempt something like this.]
[Makoto Ito: Second Hokage, why are you getting so worked up? Besides, didn't they fail in the end?]
[Senju Tobirama: Why am I getting worked up? Do you even need to ask?! Damn it!These people from the Land of Lightning dared to act so brazenly in Konoha. Do you honestly think I can just stay calm?]
[Ito Makoto: Uh... I mean, maybe don't get so angry just yet. If you keep this up, you might just end up dying again from rage in a while]
[Senju Tobirama: What do you mean? What do you mean I'll die from anger soon? Are you saying something even more infuriating happened?!]
Tobirama felt the veins in his temples throbbing violently. He was absolutely furious.
The fact that the people from the Land of Lightning had dared to infiltrate Konoha under the pretense of forming an alliance, all while attempting to kidnap Konoha's people, was already enough to enrage him.
But was there more to the story?
It was only then that Tobirama noticed something. They had been discussing the death of Hyuga Hizashi. However, Hyuga Hinata was still alive which meant the Cloud Shinobi's plan had ultimately failed.
So then, how did Hizashi die?
[Senju Tobirama: Hizashi, you stopped halfway through your explanation. Keep talking.
How exactly did you die? You said you died protecting your brother, but were you actually trying to protect your niece?
Were you killed by those Cloud Shinobi? If that's the case, then you're truly pathetic. The brother of the Hyuga Clan's leader, beaten to death by trashes!? Unbelievable!
What exactly happened?! Explain it to me properly and clearly!]
[Hyuga Hizashi: No… no… I wasn't beaten to death by those Cloud Shinobis. In fact, it was my elder brother who killed them]
[Senju Tobirama: Your elder brother killed the Cloud Shinobi? Well, that's good. Did the Land of Lightning offer any explanation?
More importantly, the evidence was there, wasn't it? Konoha must have demanded compensation from Cloud Shinobi Village, right?]
[Hyuga Hizashi: .....Well, that's not exactly what happened.]
[Makoto Ito: Hahahaha! Explanation? Compensation?]
[Senju Tobirama: What's wrong? Boy, is there something wrong with what I said? If the stolen goods were found in their hands, shouldn't they be the ones compensating us?]
[Makoto Ito: Oh, I agree! There was an explanation… and compensation too!]
[Senju Tobirama: Hmph! I knew it! If that Monkey couldn't even handle something this simple, he'd be better off eating bananas!
Cloud Shinobi Village dared to walk all over Konoha? We should have crushed their arrogance immediately!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Haha! Everyone always says the Second Hokage is both wise and brave, that his intelligence is unmatched.
But right now… he just looks like a fool.]
[Senju Tobirama: What the hell did you just say! You damn Uchiha! What part of my logic is flawed?!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Oh, you'll kny soon enough. If you think you're right, then let Hizashi continue speaking.]
[Senju Tobirama: Hizashi, keep talking!]
[Hyuga Hizashi: Although the Cloud Shinobi's attempt was exposed and my elder brother personally killed the one who tried to kidnap Hinata, Cloud Shinobi Village denied everything. Not only that… they twisted the story completely. They claimed that our Hyuga Clan had murdered their people, who had supposedly come in peace to form an alliance.]
[Senju Tobirama: What?! Damn it! These people from Cloud Shinobi Village… they're truly shameless! Do they have no sense of honor at all?!]
[Uchiha Madara: Out of all the shameless acts I've seen, this one takes the crown.]
[Senju Hashirama: This is absolutely disgraceful!]
[Uchiha Izuna: Keep going! What happened next?]
[Hyuga Hizashi: After that, Cloud Shinobi Village demanded an explanation from Konoha. They even began pressuring the our village's borders, demanding compensation!]
[Senju Tobirama: …What the fuck!? Did you just say that instead of Konoha pressuring them for compensation, they pressured Konoha? Instead of us making them answer for their actions, we had to compensate them?!]
[HAHAHA! Fantastic! Mind Blowing! Tell me more! I must hear what kind of compensation these Cloud Shinobi demanded]
[Hyuga Hizashi: They insisted that Konoha hand over the 'murderer.' That is, my elder brother, the leader of the Hyuga Clan.]
[Senju Tobirama: ....]
[Namikaze Minato: How dare they demand that?!]
[Senju Hashirama: That's so absurd! There's no way Konoha would ever agree to betray one of its own. Impossible! Completely impossible!]
[Senju Tobirama: …Wait. Didn't you say you died for your elder brother?
Don't tell me… don't you DARE tell me… that Konoha actually agreed to Cloud Shinobi Village's demands?!]
[Hyuga Hizashi: Sigh… At the time, there was truly no other option. After all…]
[Senju Tobirama: SHUT UP!!! I don't want excuses. Just tell me. yes or no?
Did Konoha really hand you over to Cloud Shinobi Village?!]
At that moment, Senju Tobirama felt like his lungs were about to explode. Never in his life had he been this furious.
Cloud Shinobi had already defiled Konoha's dignity once. And now, Konoha had not only let them get away with it… but had willingly sacrificed one of their own?
It was as if Cloud Shinobi had taken a dump on Konoha's face and then pissed on it as though they were cleaning the shit.
[Hyuga Hizashi: …Yes]
