"Tobirama, be serious!"
Hashirama reprimanded him.
This surprised Tobirama a little.
Big Brother, is that really your line?
After scolding Tobirama, Hashirama looked at Bai Mo with a solemn expression: "I guess Madara didn't actually die after that battle in the Valley of the End, did he?"
"Oh?"
Bai Mo looked slightly surprised.
Did the First and Second Hokage swap brains?
The First Hokage shouldn't possess such wisdom.
"Judging by your expression, it's really true."
Hashirama still looked solemn.
"What? Is that true or false? Big Brother, how did you deduce that?"
Tobirama had the same thought as Bai Mo at this moment, surprised to the point of being a little horrified.
Could his Big Brother also have been taken over by an Ōtsutsuki?
If there were any clues, shouldn't he have been the first to discover them?
"Do you know Izanagi? Uchiha Madara used Izanagi in that battle, sacrificing the light of one eye to turn the reality of death into an illusion, thereby escaping the fate of death..."
"It's as expected."
Hashirama waved his hand, interrupting Bai Mo when he reached this point, "No need to say anything more, I already know."
"Big Brother, let's put aside whether Madara is dead or alive for now. First, tell me how your brain got cured?"
Tobirama stepped forward and grabbed Hashirama's shoulders.
"Tobirama, I usually just let you have your way. Do you really think that a dignified God of Shinobi relies only on Wood Release?
My heroism, my strategy, my character, my looks... these are all necessary conditions to be called the God of Shinobi."
Hashirama said these ridiculously narcissistic words with a straight face.
"...Forget it, Big Brother. Let's talk about Madara instead. What exactly happened with Madara?"
Tobirama was speechless for a moment and decided to change the subject.
"Except for what Bai Mo just said about Madara using Izanagi, which I didn't know, I guessed everything else."
Hashirama sighed deeply and began to explain his deduction.
"That Madara, after the battle at the Valley of the End, faked his death to escape.
I don't know his plan, but the appearance of this Rinnegan child now confirms a very terrifying thought I had..."
"Terrifying?"
"That Madara, that bastard, that beast, after I died, actually did something to Mito... and so there is this Uzumaki Clan child, yet he has a pair of eyes extremely similar to Madara's!"
As Hashirama spoke, sorrow welled up in his heart, and he began to gaze at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, his face full of worry.
Good heavens.
No wonder a lively First Hokage suddenly became so melancholic; it turns out he discovered he had been cuckolded!
And even more terrifying, he was double-cuckolded!
His two wives got together and even had a child!
After Hashirama finished speaking, an eerie silence fell upon the scene.
Especially those who followed Bai Mo, including Nagato himself, all knew the origin of the Rinnegan.
Bai Mo even hoped that Nagato, based on the Rinnegan possessed by Edo Tensei Nagato in the original work, and the characteristics of Chakra being able to fuse and link, would further develop these eyes while maintaining his health.
He aimed to hijack Madara's account.
"It can't be true, can it?"
The only one unaware, Senju Tobirama, looked at Bai Mo with some trepidation, seeking an answer.
Although in Tobirama's eyes, Madara wasn't interested in women, there's always a possibility.
What if Madara, after Big Brother's death, became psychologically twisted and wanted to become a kindred spirit with Big Brother, to taste the scent Big Brother left behind? It wasn't impossible, right?
However, Tobirama still prayed internally, hoping Bai Mo would deny this speculation.
This speculation was too horrifying.
"Of course not."
Bai Mo felt ashamed that he had, for a moment, chosen to believe the First Hokage's wisdom, "These eyes are Madara's. He obtained the First Hokage's cells, implanted them into his body, then endured for most of his life, only awakening them when he was on the verge of death.
Then, for his resurrection plan, he gave the eyes to Nagato, hoping that one day in the future, Nagato would use the power of the Rinnegan to revive him."
"So that's how it is. That's good then."
Tobirama heard about Madara's shocking conspiracy, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only natural for the inherently evil Uchiha Madara to have schemes and tricks; there was nothing unusual about it.
"What? So I wasn't betrayed? That's great! Hahahaha!"
Hashirama, hearing that he hadn't been cuckolded, instantly breathed a sigh of relief and burst into laughter.
He didn't know whether he was referring to Madara or Mito.
"Sigh, that Madara really is something. If he wanted my cells, he could have just asked me for them. I wouldn't have refused."
Hashirama said with a complaining tone after he finished laughing.
Wouldn't refuse... Nagato and Orochimaru had strange expressions.
They both thought of the Rinnegan advancement method Bai Mo gave to Sasuke.
It seemed that the First Hokage and Madara indeed had a pure male-male relationship.
Because if they had a dirty relationship, then Madara would have definitely obtained the First Hokage's cells long ago.
The only thing to note was that some fecal particles needed to be filtered out when extracting them.
"Second Hokage, besides teaching the Shadow Clone, there's one more thing you need to do."
Bai Mo spoke to the Second Hokage.
"Go ahead. I just said that as long as you help Konoha after this is over, I can agree to anything you ask."
Tobirama said calmly.
"Nagato's eyes are Madara's, but I hope you and Orochimaru research and explore them, finding a way to help Nagato completely master these eyes.
To put it simply, it's to steal the permissions of Madara's eyes."
Bai Mo knew that Nagato currently only used a few basic abilities of the Rinnegan to their fullest.
But the true power of these eyes was completely sealed off.
For example, Limbo, or Susano'o in its Mangekyō state before evolution.
"...Alright, it's a deal!"
After hearing Bai Mo's request, Tobirama fell silent for a few seconds, then suddenly agreed excitedly.
Was this really a request?
He thought it was a reward.
He could both thwart Uchiha Madara's conspiracy and annoy Uchiha Madara; was there really such a good thing for him to do in the world?
Let alone in an Edo Tensei body, even if he were still alive, he would have to research it day and night!
"Huh? Isn't that bad?"
Hashirama was dumbfounded.
So it wasn't him who was going to be cuckolded, but Madara?
"Big Brother, now we are the fish on the chopping block, and they are the knife. We have a favor to ask of him, and we need his help to save Konoha and save Tsunade. We have no choice but to do this. You must consider the Village!"
Tobirama placed a hand on Hashirama's shoulder and said earnestly.
He acted as if he was in great pain and struggling, but in reality, he was laughing inwardly.
"Sigh, then let's sacrifice Madara. He's already dead anyway. As long as he's not revived, he won't know."
Hashirama compromised.
He still loved the Village more.
He thought that as long as Madara wasn't revived, Madara wouldn't know his eyes had been cuckolded.
"Alright then, let's get down to business. Nagato, summon the Gedo Statue..."
"Wait!"
Tobirama suddenly called out, frowning as he walked over and looked around, "You guys are too careless. Aren't you afraid of problems? Are you just relying on that one Uchiha to cover everything?"
