In Naruto: Reborn with a Chat Group

It wasn't really surprising that Minato had this question. After all, Minato and Hizashi were once considered contemporaries. Moreover, when Minato became Hokage, Hizashi was also regarded as one of his subordinates, and the two had shared a good relationship in private.

Hizashi had been a capable person, so how did he die so young?

More importantly, Hizashi was the younger brother of the head of the Hyuga family. Logically, he should have been in no danger. The likelihood of his death seemed very small. So how could he have died at such a young age?

When Minato posed the question, Hizashi fell silent.

Makoto found this situation quite amusing. What was even more funny was that they were about to meet the Third Hokage, and it seemed the Third Hokage was about to share his will of fire.

Could this be the moment when the real reason behind Hyuga Hizashi's death would be revealed?

[Namikaze Minato: Hizashi, why don't you speak? Was it because of some war? Or did you encounter a powerful enemy?]

[Uchiha Madara: Humph! What else could it be because of? The ninja world is always in chaos. It's nothing strange for someone to die. Even in our period, teenagers had to go to battlefields. Isn't it normal for someone to die?]

[Senju Hashirama: Madara, the ninja world is getting better now. We are moving closer to our dreams. Please don't be so angry!]

[Uchiha Madara: Is there something wrong with what I said? You idiot! Which dumbass

gives tailed beasts as a gift? Did you gave them out so that all the village can wage wars fairly?

Damn it, I should have gone to the Hokage Conference with you and that fool Tobirama actually agreed to you sending the tailed beasts. He has a sharp mind normally, so why did he act so foolishly at such a crucial moment?

If I were Hokage back then, I would have suppressed the entire ninja world and unified it. With that there would have been no more wars!]

[Senju Hashirama: .....]

Hashirama couldn't respond to Madara's words. Instead, he thought about it deeply. 'Did I really make a mistake back then?'

[Senju Tobirama: Now that I think about it, my eldest brother really was a fool back then!]

[Namikaze Minato: Uh... aren't we discussing how Hizashi died? How did we get to this topic?]

[Hyuga Hizashi: Minato, I... I died protecting my brother]

[Uchiha Madara: You died to protect your brother? Hizashi, I respect you for that! You truly are a good brother]

[Uchiha Izuna: Brother, If it were me, I would die to protect you]

[Uchiha Madara: Me too]

[Senju Hashirama: Hizashi, your older brother truly has an excellent younger brother!]

[Senju Tobirama: What do you mean? Are you implying I am not any good?]

[Senju Hashirama: When did I say that?]

[Senju Tobirama: Shut up, brother!]

[Namikaze Minato: So that's it. Well done, Hizashiz You are an excellent ninja!]

At this point, Minato had already imagined a grand drama in his mind. He pictured a dangerous battlefield, with Hyuga Hiashi in danger. Then, Hyuga Hizashi stepped forward, taking the fatal blow meant for his brother.

It had to be said, Minato's imagination was impressive.

[Hyuga Hizashi: Thanks!]

Before Minato could dwell on his thoughts, his imagination was suddenly interrupted.

[Uchiha Fugaku: Haha! You've got to be kidding! I'm laughing so much right now, I've got a bit of a stomachache]

[Senju Tobirama: Damn Uchiha, Why are you laughing? If you've got something to say, then say it. It's getting awkward here, it's like you've got some serious illness]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Hahahaha! You have no idea how Hyuga Hizashi died]

[Senju Hashirama: Didn't he die protecting his brother on the battlefield?]

[Uchiha Izuna: Is there another shocking twist here?]

[Namikaze Minato: Didn't he die in battle?]

[Ito Makoto: Haha… died in battle? Who told you that? I've got to admire your creativity, Fourth Hokage]

[Namikaze Minato: Is there something being hidden here?]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Forget it, I won't say any more, let him speak for himself!]

[Namikaze Minato: What really happened to Hizashi? Tell me quickly!]

Seeing the direction things were going, Hizashi had no choice but to reveal the truth.

[Hyuga Hizashi: Sigh… let me tell you. After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha's power was greatly weakened as a result. Soon after that, Cloud Shinobi Village sent their people to Konoha!]

[Senju Tobirama: Did they come to Konoha to cause trouble?]

Mentioning Cloud Shinobi Village brought out Tobirama's fury, as he had never been fond of them.

[Hyuga Hizashi: Actually, thinking about it now, they did come to cause trouble, but they initially came under the pretense of forming an alliance!]

[Senju Tobirama: Damn it, What exactly did they do? How did you end up dying? Did they make unreasonable demands on Konoha?]

[Hyuga Hizashi: They didn't make any unreasonable demands, but what they did was far more extreme than their demands.

Cloud Shinobi Village sent an envoy to Konoha, but what we didn't expect was that they took this opportunity to kidnap the eldest princess of our Hyuga family, Hyūga Hinata, my niece]

[Senju Tobirama: What did you just say?]

[Senju Hashirama: They actually did such a thing?]

[Uchiha Madara: Haha! Hashirama, did you see that? This is the village where you gave out two tailed beasts, and now they're daring to walk all over Konoha!]

[Senju Hashirama: Madara, shut up! I didn't do anything wrong back then, and I don't regret my decision]

[Uchiha Madara: That's why I always say you are an idiot. Back then, with our combined strength, we could have easily suppressed the entire ninja world, But you insisted on showing kindness to others. Now, Konoha is suffering from the consequences of your actions. If we had united and suppressed the ninja world, how could there have been so many problems?]

In the Pure Land, Hashirama felt a deep sense of frustration. He didn't continue to argue with Madara.

Had he really made a mistake back then?
