Chapter 361 Protective Excavation
However, at that moment, everyone in the ninja world thought that Konoha would continue to attack other countries.
However, a major rebellion broke out within Konoha itself.
Although according to Kusato Sukeshige's understanding, the rebellion was easily suppressed by the first Hokage Uchiha Madara, Konoha has never taken the initiative to send troops to attack other countries since then.
Instead, the other countries began to gradually form alliances to fight against Konoha, and the war has continued to this day.
However, given Kusato Sukeshige's position, he was unable to understand the course of the rebellion at that time.
All they know is that after the rebellion was quelled.
Formerly the second-in-command of Konoha, Senju Tobirama was officially listed as a rebel ninja.
"Wait a minute? Senju Tobirama? Are you saying that after Uchiha Madara defeated Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama and the Senju clan joined the Uchiha clan and founded Konoha together with them? Senju Tobirama is still the second most important person in Konoha?"
Faced with a series of questions from Kaito, Kusato Sukeshige, who was controlled by the illusion, felt a little stuck.
But he still answered with a dull look.
"Yes, now the Senju clan is still the second largest family in Konoha."
Upon hearing the news, Kaito was a little confused.
'Isn't this unreasonable?!'
'The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are sworn enemies. Without Hashirama, will Madara let the Senju clan go?'
'If Madara killed Hashirama, could Senju Tobirama still bring his people to join the Uchiha clan?'
'And since he had already surrendered, why did Tobirama start a rebellion when Madara was preparing to unify the ninja world? Are you kidding me?'
After hearing the news, Kaito's head was in a mess.
It feels like nothing makes sense, but he still can't figure it out.
'There must be some key point that I don't know about, but what is it?!'
Looking at Kaito who was scratching his head, Uchiha Hikari on the side cast a worried look.
"Kaito."
When Kaito heard the voice, he stopped thinking for a moment and gave her a comforting look.
But then he noticed another problem.
"You mean the war is still going on? Didn't Uchiha Madara go and destroy other ninja villages?"
"Yes, ever since the rebellion, it seems that the Hokage-sama has not appeared on the front battlefield again. In the past year, he has rarely appeared."
"I heard that if there hadn't been so many people who admired Hokage and joined Konoha, the battle might have been lost."
'Uchiha Madara won't take the initiative to attack?'
Kaito was not surprised that there were always ninjas joining Konoha.
After all, if ninjas become the ruling class, there will definitely be many ninjas who will agree with this and spontaneously respond and join.
Even the other major ninja villages might not be without this idea.
It's just that they don't have the courage and strength of Uchiha Madara.
Moreover, in this time and space, the ninja village system has not been established for long, and loyalty has not been cultivated.
It is normal for someone to invest.
But why did Uchiha Madara no longer attack?
At least Kaito didn't believe it, because a rebellion by Senju Tobirama could hurt Uchiha Madara and even make Madara unable to recover from the injury for more than two years.
You have to know that Uchiha Madara, who was able to defeat Senju Hashirama, was somewhat lacking in strength based on Senju Tobirama.
However, if Konoha is really in a tight spot on the front line, it is not surprising that they want to unleash Uchiha Hikari, the ultimate killer.
Yes, Kaito has roughly guessed it now.
It is very likely that Uchiha Hikari is not a ninja of this era.
After all, in this era, including the deceased Uchiha Izuna, there are only two owners of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
It's a bit too far-fetched to say that he could transplant the Mangekyō Eye Technique to Uchiha Hikari.
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of him, Kaito stopped asking.
After using illusion to give the person in front of him the memory of the two of them leaving on a mission.
Kaito left the town with Uchiha Hikari with a mind full of doubts.
"Where are we going next?"
"Just traveling around the ninja world!"
Originally, Kaito had no clear goal in coming to this world. He just wanted to find a remote place and use the time difference to practice well.
But now that he has brought Uchiha Hikari with him, he might as well accompany this girl, who has hardly seen the outside world since she was a child, to see the ninja world together.
Anyway, no matter where he is, it will not hinder Kaito's practice.
At the same time, he himself also developed some interest in this parallel time and space that was different from the original historical development.
He is prepare to investigate why the ninja world has become what it is now.
"As for the first stop?"
---------
"Kaito, isn't this a bad thing for us?"
Under the cover of night, Uchiha Hikari looked around warily, with a hint of worry in her tone.
"Shhh~ Keep your voice down.."
Kaito glared at Uchiha Hikari who was speaking, and then quickly glanced around like a thief.
Only after making sure that there was no one else nearby did he continue to work hard.
"Ding~"
There was a sound of metal hitting wood.
Kaito's expression immediately lit up with joy.
"Found it!"
The 'shovel' condensed from the ice in his hand dug a few times quickly and shoveled all the loose soil aside.
What appeared before hid eyes was a pure black rectangular wooden board.
If combined with the stone tablet with the words "Tomb of Senju Hashirama" standing outside the pit.
It is not difficult to guess that this is the coffin of the famous God of the Ninja World, Senju Hashirama.
Seeing Kaito digging graves while being excited.
Uchiha Hikari on the side wanted to dissuade him, but she hesitated for a long time and couldn't think of what to say.
Seeing this, Kaito grinned at Uchiha Hikari.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, this is called a protective excavation of important cultural relics!"
"There's a huge treasure buried underneath. Since Konoha doesn't value it, we naturally need to help them make good use of it."
That's right, Kaito was stealing from the family tombs of the Senju clan at this time.
Uh, he was protectively excavating the body of Senju Hashirama.
After learning about the information about this parallel universe, Kaito was thinking.
Since Uchiha Madara defeated Senju Hashirama and became Hokage.
So will Konoha not take Senju Hashirama, a loser, seriously?
And if the Senju clan had not disbanded, would the other party's body be buried normally like an ordinary dead person?
Would it be easy for me to obtain such an "important cultural relic"?
So while Kaito took Uchiha Hikari to travel around the mountains and rivers, they were also heading towards the Senju clan's territory.
But tonight, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, and Kaito quietly sneaked into the cemetery.
Sure enough, the 'Tomb of Senju Hashirama' was found here.
Kaito ignored the still somewhat confused Uchiha Hikari.
He rubbed his hands and opened the coffin of Senju Hashirama with excitement.
However, after opening the coffin, it was Kaito himself who looked dazed.
"White Zetsu???"
