Wang Yi slowly opened his arms, and then a huge spatial rift appeared behind him. He looked at the people from the four families in front of him and said, "Go in, all of you. The place on the other side is where you will live in the future. After you go in, someone will arrange your accommodations, and there will be new rules there."

More than ten days ago, Wang Yi found an uninhabited island on the other side of this planet. Although the island was not large, it was enough to support these people.

In this world, life is also simple on the other side of the earth, except that there aren't many people there, making it a rather desolate place.

Wang Yi had already seen that place. He only needed to set up a barrier to resist the gaze of the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao would basically not pay attention to that kind of place. Its gaze was mainly focused on the five great ninja villages and the trajectory of this world.

"Madara, Hashirama, you two are not only the heads of your respective clans but also each other's most important friends. You met by chance and became friends, then parted ways because of your respective identities. Later, for various reasons, you reconciled and became friends again, eventually establishing the Konoha Village we know today. You both did a great job, and I am proud of you, but!"

Wang Yi paused for a moment, his voice somewhat somber, but he finally said to them, "Whether in the past, present or future, I hope you can cherish this friendship. Perhaps you will part ways again or even fight each other because of certain things in the future!"
But... I hope you can always understand each other, because sometimes you have no choice but to act. But I hope you can remember! You were once the best of friends.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yi disappeared from the spot, and the spatial rift behind him quickly closed and vanished completely.

Madara and Hashirama stood there speechless for a long time.

In fact, Wang Yi's words foreshadowed their future relationship. They would eventually fight each other due to differences in their beliefs, and ultimately go their separate ways.

Madara and Hashirama exchanged a glance, both of them somewhat absent-minded. Although they were friends now, it didn't mean they would be in the future.

Although Hashirama didn't want things to turn out this way, no one knew what would happen then. Perhaps... it really would be like what the ancestor said, turning them from best friends into enemies.
"Madara! If we really come to this point in the future, no matter who wins or loses, I hope we won't resent each other. I..." Hashirama said hesitantly, "I never want to be your enemy. You and I will always be friends."

Upon hearing this, Ban smiled. Although he usually had a cold expression, he smiled with satisfaction at this moment.

"Hashirama! We are all friends!"

Although they don't know what the future holds, at least for now, the two are friends.

And so, Madara and Hashirama returned to Konoha Village arm in arm, and together they found a small tavern and drank until nightfall.

During the conversation, the two talked for a long time and also reminisced about some past events, which seemed to have happened just yesterday. Sometimes Madara really wished he could have beautiful ideals like Hashirama.

But... reality is often cruel, and that's a fact they can't change!

Several years after Wang Yi left, the story continued on its usual track. Because of Tobirama's influence, and because the people of Konoha were afraid of the Uchiha clan, Madara did not become Hokage as Hashirama had predicted.

Madara, with his strong personality, believed himself suited to be a leader, but Hashirama won the village election by a landslide. This caused him to distrust Hashirama, and coupled with the fact that the people of Konoha disliked Madara, he was both heartbroken and helpless. Although Madara was arrogant and domineering, he genuinely wanted to lead his clan to a better life; unfortunately, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

As the saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain," and "Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?" Strength is the only true measure of power; without it, one's words lack authority. Coupled with his admiration and yearning for the likes of the patriarch, Madara already harbored the intention to leave. As a leading figure of his generation, Madara knew that staying by Hashirama's side would only result in being overshadowed by Hashirama's brilliance. Furthermore, with the clan members content with the status quo, Madara had nothing to be nostalgic about. And after Madara deciphered the Six Paths Sage's tablet through his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he felt even less need to remain in Konoha.

Therefore, after Madara met with Hashirama, he left Konoha to seek his own path to becoming a strongman.

A few years later, Madara returned, but this time he returned to settle the score with Hashirama!
Of course, everyone knows why Madara did this: he wanted to awaken the Rinnegan, so he needed a piece of Hashirama's flesh to be transplanted into his own body.

Perhaps it was Wang Yi's words that came to Madara and Hashirama's minds, because neither of them harbored resentment towards the other, as they both understood each other's positions.

Or perhaps Hashirama understood why Madara left, since he himself had failed to keep his promise to Madara.

Madara could also understand Hashirama's helplessness as Hokage, after all, it was the village they founded.

"Madara, the fault for your current predicament lies with me; I broke my promise." Hashirama's eyes were resolute. "But! No matter who threatens the village, whether it's Tobirama, Mito, or even my best brother, I will show no mercy!"

Hashirama was in great pain. Looking at his former best friend, he said, "Madara, our battle should not involve the village. No matter who wins or loses, who lives or dies, I hope the other can protect Konoha! Because... this is the home we built with our own hands!"

After a long silence, Ban finally nodded and said, "Okay!"

Although it was just one word, it was enough to prove that Ban had indeed gone through a long and serious internal struggle.

Although he didn't think he would win, he would still fight Hashirama with all his might!

Hashirama and Madara exchanged a glance, then formed opposing hand seals and began the strongest one-on-one battle in the ninja world, which is known in later generations as the Battle of the Valley of the End!
…………

Watching the two fight from afar, Wang Yi felt helpless, his lips twitching slightly. "Madara's personality still needs more tempering, and Hashirama too. They're even worse at destroying things than a husky. If they were to manage the Pure Land in the future, wouldn't they tear it down?"

Seeing Wang Yi's helpless expression, Zhili, who was already a married woman, found it quite amusing; it was rare to see her husband like this.

"You're still laughing? You're already of motherly age, and you're still so immature." Wang Yi tapped Zhili's little head with her hand and said with a hint of disappointment.

Zhili felt wronged and pouted, retorting, "So what? Women are always young, and besides, I won't grow old. What's wrong with having a girlish heart?"

Wang Yi rolled his eyes, inwardly speechless. "I shouldn't have given her the Fountain of Immortality so soon. A 'young girl,' my foot! You've really gone too far." (End of Chapter)
