Lingyin always thought Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were both rotten to the core.
Reconciliation? Founding a village? Absurd!
If she gave in, how could she face her clansmen in the underworld a hundred years from now?
At least she still had a steadfast ally: Uchiha Izuna. As for Tobirama Senju... He could go sit at the same table as his brother. She had long since seen through the white-haired man's endless support for and concessions to his brother. She was quite satisfied with Izuna. He listened to his brother about everything, except that he absolutely refused to agree to an alliance. The two of them formed a two-person anti-alliance group and tirelessly sabotaged Hashirama Senju's plans.
The sabotage continued until Lingyin was bedridden and barely able to move. She glared through gritted teeth at Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, who had taken advantage of her condition to visit her bedside. She needed the former's Yang Release and the latter's Yin Release to stay alive.
Fine, an alliance it is!
As for our ancestors... Let the dead stay dead. The living still have to keep going!

Uchiha Izuna had always opposed his brother's ideals, and he hated the Senju for constantly urging his brother on. Deep down, he simply believed the Uchiha and Senju clans could never put an end to their hatred.
But when that day came, he gritted his teeth and went along with his brother's wishes, too guilty to meet Lingyin's blazing gaze.
Holding his nose, he joined his brother, Lingyin, and Tobirama Senju in helping Hashirama Senju build a beautiful new Konoha.
Their happy days didn't last.
First Hashirama Senju died, then Lingyin died of illness. His brother left, and Tobirama Senju fell in battle. In the end, Izuna was the only one left.
An illusion of a dream, a reflection of the moon in the water. The ones left behind suffer the most.
