Chapter:209
On a mountaintop at the border of Uchiha and Senju territory, an unassuming pavilion stood, serving as the meeting place for history's most significant alliance.
Present at the Meeting:
Uchiha Clan:
Uchiha Madara (Clan Leader)
Uchiha Izuna (Deputy Clan Leader)
Uchiha Inosuke (Logistics Director)
Senju Clan:
Senju Hashirama (Clan Leader)
Senju Tobirama (Deputy Clan Leader)
Senju Unma (Senior Advisor)
The scene mirrored what would later become the Five Kage Summit.
Only three members from each clan were allowed—to prevent suspicions or an outbreak of conflict.
It was the final step before war.
Tension at the Table
As they arrived, the summer heat bore down on them.
Removing their hats, the leaders prepared for negotiations.
Madara, arms crossed, snorted.
"This place is too shabby for a historic meeting between our clans."
Hashirama sighed.
"We couldn't meet in a major town—our presence would be too conspicuous. You wouldn't want to come to Senju land, and we wouldn't dare step into Uchiha territory either, right?"
Madara clicked his tongue but said nothing.
He knew it was true.
As they settled in, only Madara and Hashirama sat, emphasizing their status as leaders.
Izuna, standing with sharp eyes, glanced at Tobirama's missing right arm before speaking.
A Shared Vision—Or Not?
Izuna's first question cut straight to the point.
"Before anything else, I need to confirm—does everyone here truly support the idea of creating a ninja village?"
Hashirama nodded immediately, but before he could speak—
"Shut up, Hashirama."
Madara's cold interruption made Hashirama's face fall into pure despair.
Izuna smirked but turned to Tobirama, his expression serious.
"I'm asking you specifically, Tobirama."
Tobirama's brows furrowed.
He hesitated, then said:
"To be blunt, I have always despised—no, hated—the Uchiha."
Hashirama panicked.
"Tobirama!"
"Let him speak." Izuna's voice was firm.
Tobirama continued.
"But I also understand that the Warring States era cannot continue forever. If my brother and your clan leader are serious about this, then this is an opportunity."
Hashirama exhaled in relief, while Madara smirked.
"Hah, if you had said anything else, I would have been suspicious."
Izuna stood.
"Our plan has two goals."
1. Uniting Uchiha and Senju Against the Three Clans Alliance
The alliance of Sarutobi, Shimura, Hyuga, and Ino-Shika-Cho formed out of fear.
Their combined strength exceeds 12,000 warriors.
Neither Uchiha nor Senju can win alone.
By uniting against this common enemy, our people will be forced to fight together and get used to coexistence.
Madara's voice turned sharp.
"There will be no tolerance for infighting. Any Uchiha or Senju who attacks an ally will be executed."
Hashirama grimaced but said nothing.
He knew this was necessary.
2. Establishing Uchiha-Senju Dominance
Hyuga is the strongest independent clan.
If we defeat them, we prove that Uchiha and Senju are the strongest forces in the Warring States.
After the war, we will integrate the smaller clans instead of annihilating them.
Hashirama quickly added:
"After we win, we must absorb the smaller clans—not slaughter them. The goal is peace, not genocide."
Izuna nodded.
"Yes, that's necessary if we want to create a functioning village. Nobody follows a leader out of fear forever."
Madara remained silent, but his agreement was clear.
The Next Problem—Future Leadership
Tobirama, still frowning, asked the real question.
"Let's assume we win. What happens next? Do Uchiha and Senju rule together, or does one dominate?"
The room fell silent.
Izuna spoke carefully.
"That will take time to resolve. Right now, all that matters is winning this war."
Tobirama narrowed his eyes but didn't argue.
This was not an answer, but it was not the time to press further.
Hashirama, ever optimistic, finally smiled.
"This is the first step. We've finally agreed to something!"
Madara's voice was cold but firm.
"Our alliance will last until we destroy the Three Clans Alliance. After that… we'll see."
The two leaders shook hands, sealing their temporary unity.
As the sun dipped beyond the horizon, the first step towards peace was taken.
Although the treaty was only verbal, both sides accepted its necessity.
The Three Clans Alliance had begun its war campaign, encircling Uchiha and Senju lands.
Uchiha and Senju had no choice but to prepare for battle.
Within both clans, grumbling and resentment remained, but duty overruled personal hatred.
The era of war was reaching its climax.
Current Situation in the Fire Country:
Uchiha-Senju Alliance → Northeast Territory
Three Clans Alliance → Southwest Territory
The two greatest forces in Warring States history now faced each other in a battle for dominance.
It was no longer just about survival.
This war would determine the future of all ninja.
