Within the newly founded Konoha.
Tobirama looked at the still-enthusiastic Uchiha Madara and asked with a smile, "Have you handled everything?"
"Too easy, I must say there's no challenge... My power is overwhelmingly strong, it seems only Hashirama can satisfy me!"
Uchiha Madara waved his hand, "Just as planned, at most killed about a thousand or eight hundred, simply destroyed their gatherings."
"As for those leaders, they're mostly alive... To be honest, before my Complete Form of Susanoo combined with Wood Release and Immortal Techniques, they are just ants."
Tobirama nodded knowingly, feeling somewhat relieved.
As expected of Uchiha Madara... Even with the enhancement of his power, he manages to maintain his sanity amidst the surge of strength.
Having him as the Hokage, it seems, won't be problematic for now.
"I've taken care of the Nine Tailed Beasts; it's time to let Hashirama start working, it's his responsibility..."
Tobirama instructed alongside Senju Momoka, "Tell Hashirama he doesn't need to do anything special, just approach these Tailed Beasts with his usual mindset and strive to become friends..."
"I understand, Lord Tobirama..."
But as she was about to step away, Tobirama called her back.
"Oh, and don't let Hashirama say things like 'you are too dangerous' to the Tailed Beasts. With the power he gained from Uchiha cells I've injected, they're just adorable little animals..."
"Understand?"
Senju Momoka nodded blankly.
Never mind the fact that Tailed Beasts are natural disasters, would Lord Hashirama really say such things? Even though the Tailed Beasts are fierce, in front of that being, they really are nothing...
Senju Momoka had seen during the construction of the Uchiha and Senju Clan Land, just how terrifying the power of that giant Buddha was.
Even the Tailed Beasts might just be trifles in the palm of that Senju giant Buddha.
But since this is Tobirama's instruction, despite her doubts, Senju Momoka would obediently carry it out, affirming she will convey the message.
"I've already applied the Fuinjutsu inherited from Aomi to all Nine Tailed Beasts... With the freshly activated Power of the Six Paths, it's impossible to break it even for someone like Madara, Hashirama, Isshiki, or Otsutsuki Hagoromo, unless they use life-consuming methods..."
Tobirama glanced at the neatly seated Tailed Beasts outside and chuckled.
Hashirama is unsuitable for negotiating with humans because humans are filled with schemes and would use morality as a weapon, making it easy for the inherently kind Hashirama to fall into traps.
Even if something were to be verbally promised, neither today's Uchiha Madara nor Tobirama would give those people the chance to act upon it, but there's no need to create such situations.
But when dealing with Tailed Beasts, Hashirama is different.
Compared to others, Hashirama's straightforward and innocent nature allows him to get along well with these Tailed Beasts.
This wasn't Tobirama's implied remark—Hashirama is basically a human-sized Tailed Beast, even in terms of mentality.
Before the Otsutsuki Clan's invasion, the combat power of this otherworld had already been locked by Tobirama, no more accidents will occur.
What's left, apart from fulfilling the promise with Izuna to build a peaceful village together.
Now Tobirama has one last critical task left— to prove that he's still a sharp blade, capable of getting work done for Aomi!
Seize Shibai's Skeleton.
"Why do you keep those clan leaders alive?" Uchiha Madara glanced at Senju Tobirama:
"It's not that I have preconceived notions about you, it just feels like you shouldn't be so merciful..."
"Not mercy." Senju Tobirama shook his head and said with a smile:
"If we killed even their leaders, then the rest would only feel that we came with genocidal intentions. Though they wouldn't dare resist in the face of power, it would become troublesome..."
"They'd scatter, harboring hatred and lurking... Killing them isn't difficult, but I suppose neither you nor Hashirama would want to be seen as butchers, right?"
Uchiha Madara snorted in agreement.
Indeed...
With Hashirama's mindset, he wouldn't allow Tobirama and him to wipe out those ninjas who aren't even considered opponents.
Even for Uchiha Madara himself, he enjoys a good fight, like valorizing a lone fighter against many, not using Susanoo for simple grass cutting.
Uchiha Madara suddenly felt that Senju Tobirama certainly lives up to his name.
Even when it comes to killing, he thinks so thoroughly.
"Those leaders, we will finish them when we negotiate with them."
But just as Uchiha Madara pondered this, Tobirama's words threw him off.
After all that contemplation, we're still going to eliminate them!
Why are we killing them now?
One moment we're killing, the next we're not, it's frying young Uchiha Madara's brain.
"Are you kidding me?" Uchiha Madara glared at Senju Tobirama, "Killing them during negotiations just induces panic among the ranks, doesn't it?"
"Look, you're getting anxious again."
Senju Tobirama waved his hand with a smile, eyes squinting mysteriously, "Dead people sometimes have more utility than the living..."
"Just follow my lead, don't worry, I'll make sure you're satisfied."
Uchiha Izuna, watching Senju Tobirama with confidence, couldn't help but sweetly smile.
She loves seeing Tobirama like this!
Uchiha Madara nodded skeptically, though he still felt that damn Senju Tobirama was just playing with him...
