Night fell over the Uchiha clan grounds.
Madara Uchiha stood before the remnants of his people. He wore his iconic black armor, stained with the dust of a battle that had finally reached its end. This moment marked the official conclusion of the bloody era where the Senju and Uchiha clans fought for supremacy.
The result was undeniable. Madara lost. The Uchiha lost.
Hashirama Senju was a freak of nature with power that made no sense. By the brutal laws of the shinobi world, Madara should have been executed. The surviving Uchiha should have been hunted until the bloodline was extinct.
However, Hashirama was the leader of the Senju. He and Madara had been friends since they were children. Despite the rivers of blood between their families, a deep bond remained. Instead of killing his rival, Hashirama offered a dream. He wanted to build a village where children would no longer have to die in war.
Madara did not trust those words at first. He sought an honorable death. To test the sincerity of his rival, he gave Hashirama a choice that seemed impossible.
"Peace? Give me back my brother first! Hashirama, either kill your brother Tobirama right now, or kill yourself!"
Madara believed no man would choose an enemy over his own blood. He did not think Hashirama would throw away his life for a dream. To the absolute shock of Madara, Hashirama was actually prepared to end his own life to prove his sincerity.
In that moment, the iron resolve of Madara shattered. He was completely overwhelmed by the gesture.
The hypnotic influence of the Senju was truly terrifying!
Madara looked at his clan members. He took a deep breath and spoke with a voice like grinding stones. "Clan members, the war between the Uchiha and the Senju ends today. I have decided to accept the truce. This fight is over."
"From this day forward, the Uchiha and the Senju will build a hidden village together."
The atmosphere became deathly silent. The Uchiha members could not process this news. Could a thousand year blood feud really vanish with a single sentence? Their brothers and fathers had died screaming for vengeance. They died believing the Uchiha would never stop until the Senju were wiped out.
To many, this truce felt like a total surrender.
The proud Uchiha never bow! That was the thought in many hearts.
But reality was cold. The Uchiha were beaten. Madara was defeated. He only breathed because of the mercy of Hashirama. The supreme power of Hashirama was a wall that no one could climb.
In the middle of this suffocating silence, Uchiha Ron walked forward.
Ron was a transmigrator. In his past life, he was a fan of this world who spent his time on the internet. One day, a tragic accident ended his mundane life and sent him into this brutal era of ninja warfare.
Ron remembered his excitement when he first arrived. He was an Uchiha and he had a system!
The Hidden Village Prosperity System
Effect: Rewards for Ron increase as his village grows in power and wealth.
Activation Condition: Ron must become the leader of a hidden village.
That excitement had turned to frustration long ago. Ron arrived far too early. The village of Konoha did not exist. The legends he knew from the stories were not even born. His knowledge of the future was almost useless in this savage time.
This was an era of total chaos. Ron survived by being extremely cautious. He gathered intelligence and hoarded supplies. Most importantly, whenever danger appeared, he made sure to stay behind his teammates.
Even with the Three Tomoe Sharingan, he knew he was not safe. Izuna Uchiha had the Mangekyou Sharingan and still died because of the tricks of Tobirama Senju.
Ron also realized he could never lead a village if he stayed here. History said Konoha would be led by Hashirama and then Tobirama. Even Madara could not win the leadership. Ron stood no chance of becoming the leader in that line of succession.
He could not wait decades for things to change. He needed to activate his system now. The only way forward was to start his own path and create his own village.
This moment was his best opportunity.
"Lord Madara! Reconciliation? Friendship with the Senju?"
"Are you joking with us?"
"The dead members of our clan are still waiting for justice! If we stop now, did the brothers who died on the battlefield die for nothing?"
"I absolutely refuse to accept this!"
Ron stood before Madara and shouted with fury. He knew the founding of Konoha was inevitable, but to start his own village, he had to break away. Using the blood feud was his perfect excuse. He intended to lead a small group of Uchiha away to start his own legacy.
The emotions of the surrounding Uchiha were ignited. They began to cheer behind Ron. His words struck their wounded pride. If Madara gave the order to attack one last time, they would follow him to the end.
But Madara felt a heavy weight. He saw the fire in the eyes of his people, but the clan had already bled too much. To end the cycle of hatred, hard choices were required.
"I am doing the right thing," Madara thought. "Hashirama would make the same choice for his people."
