Chapter 040: Huh? Lord Second, You Didn't Know the Uchiha Clan Was Annihilated? (Asking for Support)
[Descendant Chat Group (^_-)]
[Senju Tobirama]: …
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: ???
When Might Guy mentioned the Uchiha Clan's annihilation, not only the First and Second Hokage were stunned—even Uchiha Izuna was frozen in place.
[Tobirama Achievement - Izuna]: Huh? The Uchiha Clan… is gone?
[Kakashi's Best Bro]: Yep, they were wiped out six years ago.
[Kakashi's Best Bro]: And Kakashi knows about this too… Oh crap.
[Kakashi's Best Bro]: I can't believe I just said that out loud…
[Kakashi]: …
[Kakashi]: Guy, stop talking for now.
[Kakashi]: Look at your system prompt in front of you.
[Kakashi's Best Bro]: Uh… okay, I didn't really look at it earlier. I just finished my mission and went to sleep in the dorm. Then I saw your name and clicked in.
[Kakashi]: Got it. Rival for life, best bro for life—I know all that. Now go read the system explanation.
[Kakashi's Best Bro]: Mm… okay!
Guy and Kakashi had known each other since childhood.
Their relationship was like Naruto and Sasuke's.
Kakashi was a genius, and Guy was a dead last.
But as the underdog, Guy relentlessly chased after him.
Even after being discouraged, even after Kakashi told him to stop, he never gave up.
Eventually, they became eternal rivals and best friends.
So now that Kakashi told him to stay quiet, Guy obediently followed and checked the prompt in front of him.
[This group is the Descendant Chat Group (^_-), inviting members from various time periods. It ignores time, space, and even death—members are from the past, present, and future.]
Oh.
So that's why he saw the First and Second Hokage—wait, even the Fourth Hokage was here?!
Only now did Might Guy realize he had been so focused on Kakashi that he completely ignored the fact that the Hokage from every era were in this group.
As a member of Konoha, every ninja dreams of becoming Hokage.
And Guy was no exception.
So there was no way he didn't admire the previous Hokage.
[This group is also known as the "Kitahara Kaede Stream Mini Group." Every day, three hours will be used to livestream Kitahara Kaede's movements.]
Oh!
Wasn't Kitahara Kaede Kakashi's student… and also the boy Neji mentioned who walked Hinata home?
As a member of the branch family, Neji had tailed him multiple times.
Might Guy quickly pieced the situation together.
Though he acted brash, as a jōnin, his ability to analyze and gather information was reliable.

[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Ah… so that's also possible, huh?
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Tobirama, calm down a bit.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Isn't the Uchiha Clan disappearing kind of normal? Like our Senju Clan.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: If clans remain, how can the village be formed? What's most important is unity within the village.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: So, we need to abolish clans.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: That's what we Senju did.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: So it's normal. Calm down.
Hashirama spoke of the Senju Clan's disappearance.
Back when he was still the clan head, he and Uchiha Madara formed Konoha.
To avoid one clan dominating, he disbanded the Senju Clan, and members no longer used the Senju name.
They intermarried with other village families.
Eventually, the Senju were fully integrated into the village.
The village became the Senju.
That was his ideal—universal love.
He had proposed the same to Madara, but the Uchiha rejected it—they disliked marrying outsiders.
But…
That was during Madara's era. Perhaps under the Third Hokage, the Uchiha softened and were willing to integrate?
Still…
[Senju Tobirama]: Big Brother, you need to calm down. Something's off with your emotions.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: …
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Yeah… I feel like I'm breaking down a little. If I didn't mishear earlier, it wasn't "disappeared"… but annihilated!
[Minato Namikaze]: Kakashi, tell us everything you know. No more hiding.
[Kakashi]: Understood.
[Future Mizukage - Mei Terumi]: …
[Third Tsuchikage - Ōnoki]: …
Mei and Ōnoki stayed silent.
Because they knew the Uchiha were gone.
But the Hokage didn't.
And starting from Minato, to Tobirama and Hashirama, everyone's emotions were boiling. It was dangerous!
At this point, staying silent wasn't enough—they both wanted to log off to avoid the blowback.
But logging off would cause a "[XX has logged out]" notification to appear, which the system would show to everyone.
That would make them more obvious.
So the two Kage exchanged a look and quietly resolved to stay put.
[Kakashi]: It all happened so suddenly.
[Kakashi]: Six years ago, a junior in the ANBU—Uchiha Itachi—suddenly massacred the Uchiha Clan.
[Kakashi]: …
[Kakashi]: He was branded a rogue ninja, and the only survivor of the clan… was Sasuke.
[Senju Tobirama]: …
So that's why Kakashi, despite his brilliance, was saddled with a rather average Uchiha kid.
Because… there were no Uchiha left.
