Destroying Konoha wouldn't bring many benefits, but quite a few disadvantages.
First, let's talk about the benefits. What benefits would destroying Konoha bring to Madara Uchiha?
Increase Madara Uchiha's renown? Make the entire Ninja World fear Madara Uchiha even more? Besides that?
And are these truly benefits? Seeing Konoha, the strongest of the Five Great Ninja Villages, destroyed, the other Four Great Ninja Villages would certainly fear Madara Uchiha.
That would inevitably lead to an alliance of the other Four Great Ninja Villages against Madara Uchiha!
Of course, Madara Uchiha wouldn't care about the other four ninja villages, but his subordinate forces, the Hidden Rain Village which had just started operating, couldn't withstand major turmoil.
Although Madara Uchiha could fight against the entire Ninja World by himself, he wasn't a lone wolf. To overturn the Ninja World, he needed forces, subordinates, and cannon fodder. The Hidden Rain Village couldn't be easily abandoned.
Therefore, Madara Uchiha genuinely couldn't destroy Konoha.
So, why did Madara Uchiha travel all this way to make such a commotion?
Firstly, to settle scores and exact revenge. Secondly, for what Hashirama Senju carried. Thirdly, to squeeze blood from Konoha!
Konohagakure, in the Land of Fire, is located in a plain and hilly area with a mild climate, making it extremely suitable for cultivation and development. Because of its unique geography, Konohagakure in the Land of Fire is the wealthiest among the Five Great Nations' Five Great Ninja Villages.
As for the Land of Yu, which borders the Land of Fire, although its land is also quite good, the continuous rainy weather is not suitable for farming. This is precisely why Madara Uchiha came!
Now, with Konoha defeated, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju defeated, and the entire Konoha helpless against Madara Uchiha, it was the perfect time for Madara Uchiha to make any demands he pleased.
Turning his head left, he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's group of defeated soldiers. Turning his head right, he saw Danzō Shimura's pile of ninja automatons. Madara Uchiha wasn't interested and shook his head.
Through his perception of natural chakra, Madara Uchiha turned his gaze to below the Hokage Rock.
Below the Hokage Rock was Konoha's air-raid shelter, where tens of thousands of Konoha villagers were now gathered and absorbed!
Madara Uchiha sneered slightly and asked Hashirama Senju, whom he was holding by the collar:
"Hashirama, tell me, what if I unleash a Destruction Bringer attack below the Hokage Rock!?"
Hashirama Senju, whose head was pierced by a Black Receiver, suddenly widened his eyes. Tobirama Senju, who also had a Black Receiver piercing his head and whose mouth was gagged, became even more agitated, constantly grunting and squirming.
"Konoha was created by the two of us! Even if you hate Konoha to the bone, you can act against me, against Tobirama, or even against Konoha ninjas, but why harm innocent civilians?! Madara! Have you forgotten our childhood promise and dream!?"
Hashirama Senju's words about their childhood triggered a flood of memories in Madara Uchiha's mind, playing out like a movie before the current Madara Uchiha.
Recalling the original Madara Uchiha's memories, the current Madara Uchiha felt an inexplicable surge of rage!
"Hashirama! It's good you didn't mention childhood, but since you did, I ask you, is the current Konoha the Konoha you envisioned?! Answer me seriously!"
It seemed that Hashirama Senju was stunned by Madara Uchiha's sudden anger, and perhaps feeling guilty himself, he fell silent. Even the usually restless Tobirama Senju quieted down.
However, their silence did not appease Madara Uchiha's rage. Madara Uchiha lifted the Black Receiver, face to face, eye to eye, and questioned Hashirama Senju:
"Hashirama! You should know how you and your brother were brought back by Impure World Reincarnation. You know even better what you suffered after being reincarnated. This is Konoha's corruption!"
Hashirama Senju said nothing, but Tobirama Senju began to grunt as if to refute something.
"Tobirama Senju! I knew what you were going to refute. You were going to say that The Foundation was just a special anomaly created by Konoha's mistakes and doesn't represent the entire Konoha's corruption, right!?"
Tobirama Senju shut up. Madara Uchiha had hit the nail on the head.
Madara Uchiha snorted disdainfully and held up two Black Receivers, showing them to the Hashirama brothers one by one.
Madara Uchiha then presented Danzō's The Foundation group to the Hashirama brothers:
"I don't even need to talk about Danzō's The Foundation. That's your doing, Tobirama Senju!"
Hashirama Senju was silent. Tobirama Senju couldn't speak.
Madara Uchiha then presented Hiruzen Sarutobi's group to the Hashirama brothers:
"And then there's the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, whom you both favored! You should know that it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's compromise that led to the creation of the Elder Council in Konoha, the division of the Hokage's power, and the ensuing power struggle! You could say he's the culprit!
Oh, and Hashirama, The Foundation also has a research project on your body tissues and cells, attempting to gain the power of Wood Release from you. This research project was approved by Hiruzen Sarutobi! Tobirama Senju, that's your good student!"
Hashirama Senju remained silent, while Tobirama Senju was furious.
Madara Uchiha also displayed the pitiful Nine-Tails, still bound by Wood Release, to the Hashirama brothers:
"And the Nine-Tails. Hashirama, your wife Mito Uzumaki, I initially went to find your wife, and then we started fighting. Mito Uzumaki, of course, unleashed the Nine-Tails to fight me. Then Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others came to watch!
That's right! They just watched. They didn't help your wife at all, just watched as your wife unleashed the Nine-Tails and got beaten badly by me, until finally Mito Uzumaki couldn't suppress the Nine-Tails and it broke free. Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others remained indifferent, hoping that your wife would perish with me!
Heh heh, your wife, who served Konoha as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki for her entire life, was ultimately abandoned by Konoha like this! This is truly ironic!"
After hearing this, Hashirama Senju was both shocked and saddened, while Tobirama Senju felt ashamed because it was caused by his own student, making him feel extremely embarrassed towards his elder brother and sister-in-law.
