Seeing everyone looking a bit dazed, Ito Hirofumi had no choice but to explain things carefully…
He told them about the love-hate relationship between Indra and Asura.
The group finally understood that the reincarnations of Indra and Asura throughout history were influenced by their chakra, leading to a cycle of loving and fighting each other…
At that moment, Naruto Uzumaki, with his usual goofy grin, sidled up to Ito Hirofumi.
"Hey, Hirofumi… so you're saying I'm the reincarnation of that… uh, spinning top guy?!"
WHACK!
Sasuke Uchiha stepped closer, glaring.
"You idiot! It's Indra, not some spinning top!"
"Ow! Alright, I got it! You jerk, Sasuke!!"
"Naruto!!"
"Sasuke!!"
"Naruto!!"
"Sasuke!!"
"…"
Hashirama Senju watched the scene with curiosity.
"Madara~ These two kids really remind me of us! I used to love shouting your name like that too!"
"Hmph! Shut up, you fool!!"
As for Naruto's question, Ito Hirofumi shook his head.
"Naruto, you got it wrong. You're not Indra's reincarnation—you're Asura's! Sasuke's the one who's Indra's reincarnation…
And the First Hokage, Hashirama, is also Asura's reincarnation, while Madara is Indra's!"
Naruto nodded, half-understanding.
"Ohhh, so Sasuke's the spinning top…"
WHACK!
"You Uzumaki moron! You're the spinning top! Your whole family's a spinning top!! It's Indra! I'm Indra's reincarnation, not some stupid top!!"
"Tch! Idiot Sasuke! Spinning top reincarnation!"
"Arghhh! Naruto!!"
"Sasuke!!"
Hashirama's eyes lit up even more at the sight.
"Madara!! I wanna do it too!!"
"Get lost, you idiot!!"
…
In the end, with Ito Hirofumi's explanation, everyone accepted the setup. Who would've thought these two pairs were actually brothers from different mothers!
Just then, Hashirama seemed to remember something.
"Hirofumi… you said Indra and Asura are brothers, right? So, who's the older one and who's the younger?"
The moment Hashirama asked, Madara Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha all locked their eyes on Ito Hirofumi!
Ito Hirofumi gave a strange smile…
"Well… Indra's the older brother, and Asura's the younger!"
The second they heard this, Madara and Sasuke perked up instantly!
Madara burst into wild laughter.
"Gehahaha! Hashirama, you hear that?! I'm your older brother!! Geahahaha!"
Sasuke laughed maniacally too.
"Gehgehgeh! Hahaha! Uzumaki idiot! My foolish little brother! Hurry up and call me 'big brother'!!"
And just like that, two of the four legendary laughing Uchihas were born early…
Meanwhile, Hashirama and Naruto weren't exactly thrilled. Both squatted down, sulking, and started drawing circles on the ground.
But their circle-drawing styles were different…
Hashirama used his Wood Release to make a small stick to draw with.
Naruto, on the other hand, used Kurama's chakra to form a tiny tail…
…
Eventually, Naruto and Sasuke underwent cell transplants. The procedures were a complete success, and each ended up with the other's tattoo on their chest.
Unlike Sasuke, though, Naruto also got a pair of Uchiha Sharingan eyes transplanted, thanks to Danzo's "contributions"…
Watching this, Izuna Uchiha nudged Tobirama Senju.
"What's up, evil Uchiha?!"
"Tobirama, you're real cocky, huh?!
Now your big brother's got Mangekyo Sharingan, so he's half an Uchiha!
Naruto's got Sharingan too, so he's half an Uchiha!
Even Ito Hirofumi's got Sharingan, so he's half an Uchiha too!
Look around Konoha—everywhere you turn, it's freakin' Uchihas! And you're still calling me the evil Uchiha?!
Tobirama Senju! Have you ever thought about it?! Right now, you're the odd one out! You're the evil Senju!!"
Tobirama froze at Izuna's words…
This evil Uchiha Izuna actually made a good point!
The Uchiha clan was supposedly wiped out, but it's like they never were!
His dad's always hanging out with that Uchiha Tajima guy. His big brother now has Mangekyo Sharingan. Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, has Sharingan too…
Even the Fifth Hokage is a Mangekyo user!
Holy crap!!
Did the Uchihas invade Konoha or what?!
They're supposed to be extinct, but Konoha's still crawling with Uchihas?!
Damn it, they really are evil Uchihas!!!
Stab… stab…
"You evil Uchiha, why're you poking me again?!"
"Why don't you just transplant a pair of Sharingan too? Your Senju clan's got enough chakra to handle it. You're not like regular ninjas who can't even sustain one Sharingan…"
Tobirama froze again at Izuna's words.
Is this the legendary "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em"?!
If he can't destroy the evil Uchihas, then… become an evil Uchiha?!
With his chakra reserves, supporting a couple of three-tomoe Sharingan would be a piece of cake…
The thought started to tempt Tobirama. Sure, the Uchiha clan is naturally evil, but you can't deny the Sharingan's power!
If he had two Sharingan, it'd definitely boost his strength!
Stab… stab…
"Evil Uchiha, why're you poking me again?!"
"Heh heh… feeling tempted, huh?!
No time like the present! Danzo's donated Sharingan are limited, you know. Four have already been used up. If you don't act fast, you might miss your chance to get a pair!
Orochimaru's gonna use those eyes for experiments, you know…
Experiments mean losses. By the time you decide to get a transplant, there might not even be a three-tomoe left!"
Tobirama was really tempted now…
"Hmph… evil Uchiha! Fine, I'll do it!!"
"Do what?!"
"Hmph! I'll transplant a pair of Sharingan!!"
Seeing Tobirama's flushed face, Izuna burst into a cackling laugh…
"Gehgehgeh…
Evil Uchiha Tobirama!!!
Gehahaha!!"
