The story of Hashirama and Madara, from a parallel world where the village was only recently founded, transmigrating to the night of the Uchiha massacre and raising Naruto and Sasuke. After Hashirama and Madara transmigrate and ruin all the plans, Black Zetsu gives up and decides to manipulate Hashirama Senju into finishing the rest. Madara from this world still has his Rinnegan intact, so collecting the tailed beasts should be a piece of cake for Hashirama~
Probably a somewhat unstable, possibly darkened Hashirama x a rational Madara who still believes in his dream.
Slow burn (meaning Hashirama and Madara don't confess their feelings until Chapter 25, and Hashirama doesn't fully turn dark until Chapter 45), happy ending, bittersweet and sweet. Also, my version of Hashirama won't do anything too extreme to Madara or other innocent people, even if he turns dark. From one perspective, he's simply using a method that ordinary people would find hard to accept to realize his dream. (I like romances where the characters respect each other and keep a little distance, so that will inevitably find its way into the relationship, sorry.)
Content warnings:
1. Characterization may be out of character. I personally find Hashirama and Madara difficult to fully understand and write, so this is just my interpretation of them. Please refer to the original work to learn about their true personalities.
2. Please don't nitpick the details. The last time I watched all of Naruto was years ago, so some details, especially the timeline, may have errors. Just consider them my own headcanon and don't get hung up on them.
3. I don't like the idea of sacrificing a minority for peace. I'm not bashing Itachi, but I don't agree with his choice to sacrifice his clan. (I agree that he carried a heavy burden and was a kind and great person in the broader scheme of things.) So please steer clear if you're a hardcore Konoha fan or an Itachi devotee.
4. The main pairing is Hashirama/Madara, and the secondary pairing is Naruto/Sasuke. (I don't really care whether it's Sasuke/Naruto or Naruto/Sasuke, and they're still young, so the top/bottom roles won't be very pronounced.) But there will absolutely be no switch pairings or reversed pairings! Also, I won't bash Mito, Sakura, or Hinata. They all have their own charms and can shine on their own! (Whether I have the writing skills to show that is another matter, but I'll try.)
5. There will be some romantic tension between Kakashi and Obito (meaning they probably won't explicitly confess even by the end), as well as a tiny bit of Tobirama/Izuna. If you're reading for those pairings, be warned. If those pairings are a trigger for you, please avoid.
If you're okay with all of the above, welcome to this new world.
And here's a literary, rather vague blurb:
So all those assurances and promises were just empty words after all;
So many shadows and dangers were hidden beneath the dream I thought had already come true.
Even if you knew the ending in advance, would you still risk everything for your dream? Even if your bonds were destined to be severed, would you still give everything to protect them?
Maintaining those bonds and holding on to hope alone is a joke, but if the two of them do it together... maybe they can?
Theme: Learn to fight against fate
If you dare to kill people and exterminate your clan, you must be mentally prepared to be visited by your enemies, hahahaha! Those who kill will always be killed... Danzo was pushed out by Konoha to let Sasuke and his ilk take the blame... I hope that the root causes of short-sightedness, discrimination, and contempt can be improved from the true nature of ideas and systems... If you dare to stand on the opposite side, you must have the courage to face the butcher's knife! You can't be kidnapped by morality, this is the world of ninjas... Murderers will always be killed.
The biggest curse was laid long before everything in Konoha began 😭 Whether they are blood relatives or masters and apprentices, the Senju lineage has always been a group that firmly controls the center of power in Konoha... First, he said that Uchiha was insane, and then he accepted a disciple who died early to show that he had no discrimination. Besides, Uchiha are insane. They should be shackled and not allowed to enter the management of Konoha. They should also be called the "welfare" of the Security Department. By the way, Cricket had known that they had problems for a long time, and turned a blind eye to all the high-level leaders of the village's ethnic groups who reported being ostracized by the group, and even accused Uchiha of being difficult to get along with. During the siege of Uchiha, he killed all the old, weak, women and children, and even denounced Madara Uchiha as the source of the disaster... It's so chilling. The pretentious, hypocritical and short-sighted Tobirama apprentice group has created a perfect imaginary enemy Uchiha within the village. They must first convict and then collect evidence hahaha.
But Quan Na's death for offering his eyes was Black Spot Quan's xnb second design 😭, and Quan Na's official design died of serious injuries, which had nothing to do with offering his eyes. This is what Tobisen fans did by killing Izuna in order to clear up Tobirama. They directly distorted Izuna into an SJB who wanted to die, and forced his brother to accept the eyes or die. They deconstructed the justice of Madara's revenge on Tobirama, and made Tobirama into a pitiful innocent victim. This second set has brainwashed many people, and it has spread to Huonao. Now Tobi fans use this to insult Madaraizumi every day. It's clear that Izuna didn't know what Lian Yongwan was in the original work 😭, Madara's Izumi family has been brainwashed, Izuna left her eyes because she was afraid that her brother would become blind, and Madara got the world's first pair of eternal kaleidoscopes after his brother died and changed his eyes 😭
Only when I saw this did I remember that Konoha (high-level officials) were still underprivileged, the legacy of the Yondaime couple, the legacy of the Uchiha clan, tsk tsk tsk
I just don't think it would go so far as to slaughter the old, weak, women and children without leaving any trace. Thinking about those helpless old people, babies and even pregnant women, I feel that the decision-makers and executors who carry out the massacre are all born. Moreover, by killing the opponent before they act, and then digging out their Sharingan to use it afterwards, Konoha is equivalent to neither procedural justice nor substantive justice. I just feel that Konoha treats Uchiha as enemies instead of treating them as part of the village. But in fact, part of Uchiha's ending was self-inflicted. Madara had the foresight and saw Uchiha's ending early on, so he asked them to leave with him, but they didn't leave, and then they ended up like this. Of course, this is understandable. After all, the village was built by two families, and the manpower and material resources were contributed by both families. No one would be willing to give it up after paying so much. This is a sunk cost, and we should continue to suffer from it. In the end, it ended up like this. Uzumakis were scattered all over the place, but many people survived. Uchiha was really alone. Alas, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was the winner and the loser. If you lose, you can only be slaughtered by others. If you win, you will "inherit the will of the first Hokage and eliminate the conspiracy group headed by the third generation of Danzo." What a coup, it is a revolution, and it is to support orthodoxy. In fact, although he keeps talking about Konoha and Konoha, to put it bluntly, this matter has nothing to do with most people in Konoha. It is the conflict between the Hokage interest group that inherits the will of the second generation and the Uchiha group that is hated by it. I also absolutely do not agree with "sacrifice the few for the many." In my opinion, there is only one kind of sacrifice in the world, and that is to sacrifice yourself. Sacrificing others can only be called "murder." We praise the noble character of self-sacrifice, but the act of praising "sacrifice" itself is extremely vicious, because praising sacrifice is praising murder.
OMG, Hashirama is an evil mushroom...
Uchiha, handle it with care, hahahahaha
In fact, Hashirama is quite magnanimous. He bluntly stated that he could "kill" his brothers and close friends for Konoha instead of hypocritically talking about "sacrifice".
When you become dark, you can be tougher on those dark people and things!
I made a mistake, so the new chapter is Chapter 44 orz
