At night, Renye lay in bed, pondering the reasons behind the outbreak of the Valley of the End battle.
After Konoha was established, the Uchiha Clan's position in the Village was rather awkward.
The two's philosophies diverged.
Madara predicted that after Hashirama, Senju Tobirama would inherit the Hokage position, and the Uchiha might face annihilation.
He was concerned about Konoha's future, believing that only by following his own path could he protect the Uchiha Clan.
The prolonged war had made the Uchiha Clan members detest war and fear power.
Madara, who had always advocated for power, did not gain the recognition of the Village people, and even the Uchiha Clan members did not trust or support him.
This made Madara feel isolated and helpless, so he decided to leave Konoha to find "true peace."
This so-called peace was precisely the content of the Uchiha tablet altered by Black Zetsu—Infinite Tsukuyomi.
A Ninjutsu that immerses everyone in an illusion.
For Madara, how could this not be a form of peace?
The Valley of the End battle was crucial for Uchiha Madara to awaken the Rinnegan.
According to the content on the tablet, he needed Hashirama's cells to awaken the Rinnegan.
Thus, Madara controlled the Nine-Tailed to attack Konoha and battled Hashirama.
This battle was also his farewell to the past.
"The peace of the Ninja World is about to end…" Renye murmured softly.
After the Valley of the End battle, he didn't have much time left to grow stronger.
If nothing unexpected happened, Senju Hashirama would be severely wounded in this battle and would pass away within a few years.
By then, other Ninja Villages, who had been coveting the Land of Fire, upon learning of Senju Hashirama's death, would undoubtedly launch a war without hesitation, wanting to seize this rich land of the Land of Fire.
The First Great Ninja War would break out.
War is cruel, and without sufficient strength, it is difficult to survive.
If Renye remembered correctly, the First Great Ninja War lasted for many years, and several Shadow-level Experts perished in this war.
Senju Tobirama also died in this war…
The war lasted a long time, and Renye only knew a few major battles, but he couldn't influence the overall situation of the war.
For example: The Second Raikage launched an attack on Konoha, Senju Tobirama resisted, and after the battle lasted for a while, both sides decided to form an alliance.
At the alliance ceremony, Ginkaku and Kinkaku launched a coup, killing the Second Raikage and severely wounding Senju Tobirama.
To cover his subordinates, Senju Tobirama stayed behind alone to fend off Ginkaku and Kinkaku.
Ultimately, both sides perished together.
In addition, the battles between Hidden Mist and Iwagakure were also quite intense, with the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage perishing together in battle.
Knowing these things was useless for Renye; with his strength, he couldn't change the course of the war at all.
At most, he could warn Senju Tobirama in advance about the danger of the alliance, allowing him to take precautions, or advising him not to attend the alliance ceremony…
If he could change Senju Tobirama's fate, that would also be good.
This Old Man's political ability is at least stronger than Hiruzen Sarutobi's.
With his leadership, Renye's survival rate on the battlefield could be higher.
It cannot be ruled out that this Old Man might intentionally assign him suicide missions.
Based on Renye's understanding of Senju Tobirama, this probability is relatively low, but it's not impossible…
For Senju Tobirama, the Village's safety outweighs everything else.
If Renye's death could bring value to the Village, he would undoubtedly send Renye to his death without hesitation.
Ultimately, being strong oneself is the most important thing!
"I still have a few years; I will definitely become stronger!" Renye clenched his fists, "From now on, double the training!"

Meanwhile, in Senju Tobirama's room.
Senju Tobirama lay tossing and turning in bed; he, who usually had excellent sleep quality, was uncharacteristically sleepless tonight.
His elder brother's abnormal behavior today made him feel confused and uneasy.
He didn't know what his elder brother was worried about.
Currently, the Village was thriving, and the villagers' lives were happy.
Under his elder brother's deterrence, other countries dared not launch wars, and the Ninja World had achieved its first peace since the Sengoku period.
In such an environment, he didn't understand what his elder brother was worried about.
Senju Tobirama fell into deep thought, "What could possibly make my elder brother lose his appetite and sleep?"
Suddenly, a person flashed through his mind.
If there was any change, it could only be that guy, Uchiha Madara.
Senju Tobirama's expression was solemn as he murmured softly:
"Is Uchiha Madara plotting something?"
Ever since Uchiha Madara defected from Konoha, he had never heard of Madara's whereabouts again, as if he had vanished into thin air.
He had even specifically sent people to search for Madara's traces in the Ninja World before, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
Tobirama knew the terror of Uchiha Madara.
If Madara were to do something extreme, only his elder brother could stop him.
"I hope my guess is wrong…" Senju Tobirama said.
The Uchiha Clan is a group of dangerous psychopaths, and Uchiha Madara is the most dangerous one among them.
There were originally two, but one was accidentally eliminated by him.
So, only one is left.
It's hard to imagine how many innocent people would be affected if Uchiha Madara were to attack the Village?
Thinking of this, Senju Tobirama immediately sat up from his bed and strode out the door.
Senju Tobirama was a suspicious person; as long as something had the possibility of happening, even if the probability was very low, he would not sit idly by.
To prevent this from happening, he needed to summon the sealing squad to reinforce Konoha Village's barrier to prevent Uchiha Madara from breaking into Konoha.
The twilight dyed the sky like blood.
As if foreshadowing that something bad was about to happen.
As Senju Tobirama opened the door, he suddenly heard a deafening roar from afar, a sound that pierced one's eardrums.
Following that was a powerful and violent Chakra.
He subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
He saw a giant crimson fox approaching Konoha Village, its nine massive tails sweeping through the forest, breaking trees in half wherever they went.
"This… This is the Nine-Tailed?" Senju Tobirama leaped onto the rooftop.
Upon seeing the Nine-Tailed, his pupils contracted sharply.
He had heard rumors about Tailed Beasts.
He also heard that Hidden Cloud Village wanted to capture the Nine-Tailed, but the Nine-Tailed was so powerful that almost all the people sent were killed.
Two of them were accidentally swallowed by the Nine-Tailed.
They miraculously survived by devouring the Nine-Tailed's flesh and blood in its stomach.
The two endured for two weeks inside the Nine-Tailed's belly and were eventually expelled by the Nine-Tailed.
However, they were blessed in disguise, gaining the Nine-Tailed's Chakra.
Senju Tobirama was very confused, "Why is the Nine-Tailed here?"
Just then, the Nine-Tailed's crimson vertical pupils looked towards Konoha.
Senju Tobirama noticed the Nine-Tailed's eyes, and his breathing suddenly hitched.
"Sharingan?!"
He saw the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in the Nine-Tailed's eyes!
Not only that, a familiar figure stood on top of the Nine-Tailed's head.
Clad in red armor, holding a scythe and a fan.
"Uchiha Madara!" Senju Tobirama's expression was grave.
He hadn't expected that what he had been worried about had still happened…
Uchiha Madara… really came!
