[00:07] ---
    It was like a dream...
[00:08] ---
    The Uchiha and the Senju
    formed an alliance.
[00:12] ---
    There would no longer
    be any casualties,
[00:15] ---
    nor would any more children
    have to die.
[00:20] ---
    And so, we began
    building our village.
[00:28] ---
    Later, we would ally
    with the Land of Fire,
[00:30] ---
    and the creation of
    a peaceful state
[00:32] ---
    where nation and village stood
    on equal footing also commenced.
[00:39] ---
    In any case, it was like a dream.
[02:21] ---
    My True Dream
    
    
    
[03:15] ---
    SHINOBI ACADEMY
[03:56] ---
    Do you remember how we used
    to talk here when we were kids?
[04:00] ---
    Yeah...
[04:03] ---
    Let's build our settlement here!
[04:05] ---
    Huh?
[04:06] ---
    And make it so kids won't have
    to kill each other!
[04:10] ---
    We'll create a school where
    kids can train and grow up stronger!
[04:15] ---
    Assign missions that fit
    an individual's abilities and strengths!
[04:19] ---
    Have superiors who can properly
    assign ranks to commissions!
[04:24] ---
    It will be a place
[04:25] ---
    where kids don't have to be sent
    into harsh battlefronts.
[04:29] ---
    You're pretty much the only one
    spouting such nonsense.
[04:32] ---
    Well then, what about you?
[04:35] ---
    It doesn't sound bad at all.
[04:37] ---
    Then it's decided!
[04:38] ---
    Yeah... If that settlement
    gets built here,
[04:41] ---
    then I could watch over
    my little brother,
[04:43] ---
    and protect him in this place
    where you can see to no end!
[04:59] ---
    I thought we were just talking
    about our dream.
[05:03] ---
    They say where there's a will,
    there's a way...
[05:06] ---
    And yet, I...
[05:08] ---
    That dream is now becoming reality.
[05:10] ---
    The leader of shinobi who protects
    the Land of Fire from the shadows.
[05:13] ---
    The Fire Shadow, or Hokage. Well?
[05:16] ---
    What's that supposed to be?
[05:17] ---
    The Land of Fire requests that
    we select someone
[05:19] ---
    who will represent the Village.
[05:22] ---
    I'm considering naming you
    to be our leader... the Hokage.
[05:27] ---
    You no longer have any siblings left...
[05:29] ---
    But I'd like you to think of
    all of the village shinobi as your siblings.
[05:34] ---
    I want you to protect them
    with all your might.
[05:40] ---
    Even though I couldn't protect
    my own Uchiha brethren?
[05:51] ---
    Kawarama...
[05:54] ---
    Itama!
[05:56] ---
    Itama!
[06:12] ---
    W-What happened?
[06:17] ---
    My little brother...died.
[06:23] ---
    I come to the river
    because I feel like
[06:27] ---
    all the haziness in my heart gets
    washed away as I stare at the water.
[06:33] ---
    So that's what happened...
[06:36] ---
    Your name's Madara, right?
[06:38] ---
    I wonder if you're like me...
[06:44] ---
    Do you have siblings?
[06:46] ---
    I'm one of five.
[06:49] ---
    Well, there used to be five of us.
[07:02] ---
    So...you don't have
    any more siblings?
[07:05] ---
    No... I have one younger brother left.
[07:11] ---
    And I'll protect him,
    no matter what!
[07:17] ---
    What about you?
[07:19] ---
    I have one brother left too.
[07:21] ---
    And I intend to protect him too,
    no matter what.
[07:29] ---
    Flying Raijin Slice!
[07:35] ---
    Izuna!
[07:46] ---
    There's no time to
    get weak right now!
[07:50] ---
    In addition to the Uchiha and Senju,
[07:52] ---
    it seems the Sarutobi and
    the Shimura Clans also want to join.
[07:58] ---
    Are you kidding? Are you serious?!
[08:01] ---
    And there are many others!
[08:02] ---
    This village is going to
    keep on expanding!
[08:05] ---
    We're going to need to come up
    with a name for the village too...
[08:09] ---
    Any thoughts?
[08:21] ---
    How about...
[08:22] ---
    The Village...Hidden in the Leaves?
[08:27] ---
    It's too simple...
    It's not imaginative.
[08:30] ---
    You called it exactly as you saw it.
[08:31] ---
    How's it different from "Hokage"?!
[08:33] ---
    And you still have that habit
    of getting depressed easily!
[08:38] ---
    It took a long time, but it felt like
[08:40] ---
    we were back to being
    the friends we once were.
[08:45] ---
    So you're saying
    the role of the Hokage
[08:47] ---
    is to stay in the village
    and protect everyone?
[08:51] ---
    There's that...
[08:53] ---
    But he'll be even more significant.
[08:55] ---
    As village-building picks up speed,
    the Hokage will get busier too.
[09:01] ---
    That's why I want to
    have your likeness
[09:03] ---
    carved into this cliff at our feet.
[09:07] ---
    As a symbol of
    our village's protector!
[09:12] ---
    You've got to be kidding!
[09:14] ---
    Although...your face is a bit too stern...
[09:15] ---
    so it will have to be softened
    here and there.
[09:18] ---
    Well, it beats that sad mug of yours!
[09:22] ---
    Is it that sad?
[09:26] ---
    Yeah... It's beyond sad.
[09:30] ---
    Is that so?
[09:33] ---
    There you are!
[09:35] ---
    What are you dawdling here for?
[09:38] ---
    The Feudal Lords from the Land of Fire
    will be here soon for the conference!
[09:41] ---
    It's Tobirama...
[09:54] ---
    For Hokage?!
[09:56] ---
    That's not your choice!
[09:58] ---
    To propose Madara as
    a candidate for leader is fine...
[10:02] ---
    But the final decision will be made
    with the top officials,
[10:05] ---
    after consulting with the Land of Fire
    and the people of the village!
[10:07] ---
    Things are different from Father's era!
[10:10] ---
    But...
[10:11] ---
    Besides, Madara Uchiha being chosen
    as the leader won't happen.
[10:15] ---
    Everyone knows...
[10:17] ---
    You are the one who founded
    this settlement, Big Brother.
[10:21] ---
    Even those from
    the Uchiha say as much.
[10:24] ---
    Furthermore, haven't you heard
    the rumors about them?
[10:29] ---
    The stronger their hate,
[10:31] ---
    the stronger their Visual Prowess
    manifests itself.
[10:34] ---
    The Sharingan is such a power.
[10:36] ---
    They're unpredictable.
[10:39] ---
    For the future of the village...
[10:41] ---
    Stop talking like that, Tobirama!
[10:59] ---
    I just felt someone's presence.
[11:02] ---
    Tobirama, you would know.
[11:05] ---
    No... I'm not infusing chakra right now.
[11:08] ---
    Don't change the subject, Big Brother!
[11:19] ---
    From now on,
    things will be run democratically.
[11:22] ---
    Any objections?
[11:24] ---
    No... That's fine.
[11:31] ---
    And so...
    I became the First Hokage.
[12:01] ---
    I became the First Hokage...
[12:12] ---
    From the Era of Warring States...
[12:13] ---
    where shinobi clans fought
    and killed each other...
[12:18] ---
    the Uchiha and Senju joined together
    to create the ideal shinobi village...
[12:23] ---
    A shinobi village born
    from the hope for peace...
[12:26] ---
    That is the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
[12:30] ---
    And I became its First Hokage.
[12:39] ---
    This is the stone tablet that has been
    passed down the Uchiha for generations.
[12:42] ---
    It's never been shown
    to an outsider before.
[12:45] ---
    The special text requires
    Visual Prowess to decipher.
[12:51] ---
    This is what I'm able
    to decipher so far...
[12:55] ---
    "One god seeking stability
    split into light and shadow.
[12:59] ---
    "And it is these opposites together
    that give rise
[13:01] ---
    "to all things in this universe."
[13:05] ---
    This is a universal truth.
[13:08] ---
    In short, it states that
    true happiness can be found
[13:12] ---
    when two contrary powers
    cooperate together.
[13:16] ---
    However, it could be
    interpreted differently.
[13:23] ---
    Hashirama...
[13:24] ---
    Do you think I don't know
    what's going on?
[13:27] ---
    Leave Tobirama to me.
    I can't do this without you.
[13:32] ---
    Help me as the Hokage's right hand...
    and as a brother!
[13:37] ---
    The people will eventually
    recognize your merits!
[13:40] ---
    And then,
    I'll name you Second Hokage.
[13:42] ---
    After you, I suspect Tobirama
    will probably become the Hokage.
[13:47] ---
    When he does, the Uchiha
    will be eventually eliminated.
[13:50] ---
    Knowing this,
[13:51] ---
    I've reached out to other Uchiha
    about leaving the village.
[13:55] ---
    But it seems no one is willing
    to follow me.
[13:59] ---
    Madara...
[14:01] ---
    I couldn't protect
    my younger brother...
[14:04] ---
    And it seems I won't be able
    to keep the promise I made him...
[14:07] ---
    that I would protect the clan.
[14:09] ---
    I'm not even trusted
    by the clan I want to protect.
[14:13] ---
    That's not true!
[14:14] ---
    Everyone is...
[14:15] ---
    Perhaps that time, the ultimatum
    I should have given you was
[14:18] ---
    "to kill your younger brother."
[14:21] ---
    You call me your brother.
[14:23] ---
    But which of us would you kill
    for the sake of the village?
[14:32] ---
    I'd like to think that
    I know you pretty well.
[14:35] ---
    I've had enough.
[14:38] ---
    I'm going to leave the village.
[14:41] ---
    I've found a different path to take.
[14:44] ---
    It became clear to me because
    we showed each other our guts...
[14:47] ---
    Cooperation is merely
    a quiet form of conflict.
[14:51] ---
    You're wrong!
[14:53] ---
    I won't let it be like that.
[14:55] ---
    Hashirama, it's what
    you make of reality.
[14:58] ---
    Let's stop being slaves to it.
[15:01] ---
    It's healthier to view this world
    as merely a sideshow...
[15:05] ---
    Have you been listening
    to me, Madara?!
[15:08] ---
    You are the only one
    who's an even match for me.
[15:13] ---
    I'm looking forward
    to the battles we'll fight...
[15:17] ---
    up until the time
    I achieve my true dream.
[15:28] ---
    What is your true dream?
[15:30] ---
    I thought everything we've aimed for
    is here in this village!
[15:34] ---
    You just can't see it...
[15:37] ---
    What's beyond this...
    The dreams of the far future.
[15:46] ---
    Then tell me about your dreams
    of the far future.
[15:50] ---
    If it's connected to
    this village's dreams,
[15:52] ---
    I need your strength as a leader,
    as a senior member.
[15:57] ---
    And...as a friend.
[16:03] ---
    There is no connection.
[16:05] ---
    And you'll never reach it.
[16:08] ---
    Chasing after me is useless.
[16:11] ---
    You, of all people, should know.
[16:13] ---
    No one is capable of
    catching me from behind.
[16:20] ---
    Upon saying those words,
    Madara left the village.
[16:40] ---
    We had come this far together.
[16:43] ---
    And now, Madara was gone from
    the village we had created together.
[16:50] ---
    But in the world,
[16:51] ---
    everyone respected and copied
    our village system of Allied Ninja Clans
[16:56] ---
    which had been created
[16:58] ---
    by the former warring rivals,
    the Uchiha and Senju, joining forces.
[17:04] ---
    Villages like the Village Hidden
    in the Leaves
[17:06] ---
    which began in the Land of Fire,
    and its one leader system,
[17:09] ---
    LAND OF FIRE
    
    
    spread like wildfire across
    the Great Nations.
[17:13] ---
    In the Land of Lightning,
[17:14] ---
    LAND OF LIGHTNING
    
    Hidden Cloud Village was formed
    with its leader named Raikage.
[17:19] ---
    In the Land of Earth,
[17:20] ---
    LAND OF EARTH
    
    Hidden Stone Village was formed
    with its leader named Tsuchikage.
[17:23] ---
    LAND OF WATER
    
    The Land of Water had the Hidden Mist
    with their Mizukage.
[17:29] ---
    And in the Land of Wind,
[17:31] ---
    LAND OF WIND
    
    the Hidden Sand was formed and
    they named their leader, Kazekage.
[17:36] ---
    Not only the Great Nations,
[17:37] ---
    but even the smaller nations
    adopted this system.
[17:41] ---
    Madara's and my dream had come true.
[17:48] ---
    Shinobi children learned
    and played instead of battling.
[17:55] ---
    And they started living long enough
    to even know the taste of alcohol.
[18:01] ---
    But, as if he wanted to destroy
    his previous dream...
[18:05] ---
    Madara came back to
    attack the Leaf Village.
[18:09] ---
    Will you destroy everything that
    we've accomplished until now, Madara?
[18:14] ---
    Nothing will come of us
    battling each other.
[18:17] ---
    This fight will only...
    hurt the village and shinobi!
[18:21] ---
    It is disrespect toward
    our siblings and our comrades!
[18:26] ---
    You know nothing...
[18:29] ---
    I don't want to kill you!
[18:31] ---
    Are you implying that
    you could kill me at any moment?
[18:34] ---
    No! I'm saying we are friends...
[18:37] ---
    I've already...reached it!
[18:44] ---
    Then so be it!
[18:46] ---
    Sage Art!
[18:48] ---
    Wood Style...
[18:49] ---
    Shinsu Senju
    Veritable 1000-Armed Kan'on!
[18:54] ---
    Here I come, Madara!
[18:56] ---
    Come, Hashirama!
[19:01] ---
    Chojo Kebutsu!
    Artifacts of the Buddha!
[19:51] ---
    He stripped off the Susano'o!
[20:15] ---
    Here I come!
[20:22] ---
    10th Edict on Enlightenment!
[20:56] ---
    Madara!
[20:57] ---
    Hashirama!
[22:38] ---
    I am the shinobi who created
    these circumstances.
    
    
[22:40] ---
    And I believe that shinobi are those
    who endure for a purpose.
    
    
[22:46] ---
    Those who endure...
    
    
[22:48] ---
    Now, Sasuke... What will you do?
    
    
[22:51] ---
    Will you crush the village? Or...?
