Naruto Chapter 625: Something Is Lacking

Comments:
Oh well, maybe I was expecting a bit too much from this flashback. The Hashirama which we saw when Sasuke, Orochimaru and their group revived the Hokages, is completely different from what we are seeing in the flashback. I really liked Hashiramas "presence", carefree and aloof but there is only a hint of that in the Hashirama that we are now seeing in the flashback.

Also, Kishimotos way of giving a reason for Uchihas hatred have pretty much been disappointing. Uchiha Itachis story was an excellent one, but Obitos and Madaras reasons for hatred have been in my opinion a bit lacking in a sense. Of course Obito seeing his good friend killing a girl he likes is a tremendous shock, but why does he ultimately want to destroy everything for that, not just Kakashi?


It may be that Madaras reason for turning around may be something more than what we have seen in this chapter, the only reason for his hatred seems to be his distrust of Senju, or Tobirama (and Tobiramas distrust of Uchiha) to be precise. I just hope that there's just more to it than just this, I feel that this flashback has been and is lacking just something. I hope that Kishimoto has figured what that something is instead of just showing us an slightly uninteresting story of how Konoha was formed.

Recap of Naruto Chapter 625: The Real Dream

-Madara has just made proposition to Hashirama to either kill himself or his brother Tobirama.

-Hashirama soon decides to kill himself for peace between Senju and Uchiha. He is about to hit himself with a kunai until Madara stops him saying that he believes Hashiramas resolution.

-Finally Uchiha and Senju join forces and they create the village, decide on the leaders name (which is Hokage, "fire shadow")  and on the village name, which is Konoha, Hidden leaf village.

-Soon after Hashirama and Tobirama talk with each other, Tobirama is still suspecting Uchiha being a risk to the village. They hear a rustle from nearby bush, Hashirama goes to check and finds the same leaf which Madara had when they talked on the cliff.

-In the next scene Hashirama has been chosen as the first Hokage of Konoha, he and Madara are talking at the place where the stone which needs to be deciphered with the sharingan resides.

-Hashirama says that Madara will most likely be the next hokage, but he disagrees and says that it will most likely be Tobirama, which will mean trouble for the Uchiha.

-They talk some more and Madara has come into a conclusion: he decides to leave the village and says that while he walks towards his real dream he will enjoy fighting with Hashirama. "Madara turns "evil"".
