[Naruto] Chapter 622 - Hashirama and Madara’s Future Alliance

Naruto 622 shows the problem with war in the past when most children were made to fight against their enemies. Hashirama discusses with his brothers Itama and Tobirama about a possible alliance, Madara and Hashirama meet at the shore once more discussion the same thing which is on their mind. They mention that if there was an alliance and an agreement then it would mean less war and more peace.

Naruto 622 begins as Madara asks who he’s talking to, Hashirama tells his name, except that he mentions that he cannot tell him his surname. Madara throws the rock, this time Hashirama notices that his technique is used when handling a Shuriken, the rocks doesn’t get to the other part of the shore. Madara is once again pissed off as he blames Hashirama for standing behind him, thus he didn’t get it to the other side.

Hashirama sits down and says sorry, Madara then tells Hashirama that he’s sorry because it was an excuse, Hashirama says that he didn’t know that he has such a subjective symptom, Madara goes on to say that he doesn’t understand if Hashirama is a good guy or a bad guy of what he’s saying. Hashirama quickly goes on to mention that he’s obviously better than stone skipping. Madara mentions that he’ll use Hashirama next when stone skipping.

Madara is told that he’s ready to be thrown in the river, Madara mentions that Hashirama is annoying. Hashirama mentions that he just hopes that he can get to the other side, Hashirama is then told that he can’t stand him, he starts to walk away when Madara taps him on the shoulder, he spins his head asking if he wants him to stay or go. Hashirama then notices something in the water, it seems that it’s a Shinobi from the Senju clan.

Hashirama walks on water when Madara notices that he’s a Shinobi. Hashirama notices that the war is going to reach that place soon, the person has a Hagoromo clan sign on his armor, he mentions that he has gone. Hashirama reaches the other shore when Madara reveals his name, he mentions that not revealing your surname to stranger is one of the Shinobi rules.

Hashirama realizes that Madara was a Shinobi too. The story-teller Hashirama tells Sasuke that they both had different personalities, but at that time he felt that they were both close, he also understood why he came to that river. We notice that Hashirama, Tobirama and Itama are all brothers and are with their father burying a number of Senju clan Shinobi.

The father mentions that Shinobi’s shouldn’t whine, they were born to die fighting. The father mentions that they should be happy that a part of the corpse was retrieved, this time the enemies weren’t the Hagoromo clan only, it was the Uchiha too. Hashirama quickly shouts that the person who died, Kawarama was only 7 years old. He asks how long he expects this to go on. Their father mentions until the their enemies are no more, the journey to a world without war isn’t easy. Hashirama mocks his father mentioning for them to get where they need to they sacrifice their children too.

The father punches Hashirama then mentions that he won’t allow him insulting Kawarama as he was a worthy Shinobi who wasn’t a child. Hashirama is faced by both his brother, Itama and Tobirama. He asks his father, how he can say that the Senju clan is full of love, he asks him what a worthy Shinobi is, he goes on to say that what the adults are doing is just ganging up on children asking them to lead themselves to their deaths.

The father mentions that it could be an infant but as long as they have a weapon, they’re enemies, and turning children into worthy Shinobi means that you love them. Hashirama mentions that do they have to die in order to become worthy Shinobi’s, they just get killed not knowing anything, not even how it all started, they can’t even mention their surname as it’s too dangerous!

Hashirama mentions that the world of Shinobi’s is definitely wrong, the father mentions that it’s people like him that are called kids, Tobirama steps in mentioning that Hashirama is depressed and to forgive him, the father mentions that they should cool down. Somewhere else, Tobirama mentions that if they want the fighting to stop, they should just make an agreement.

Tobirama proposes that the Shinobi’s should create rules and abide by them, as well as repress their feelings. Hashirama wonders if such an agreement could even be made with their alliance. Hashirama tells Sasuke that the average lifespan of Shinobi and citizens was around 30 years old, it was lowered by children death! At this point, we notice Itama, Hashirama brother getting himself killed by 5 Shinobi’s from the Uchiha!

Hashirama notices his brothers deaths right in front of him as he’s killed by a spear to the heart. After some time, Hashirama returns to the shore when he talks to Madara, who asks him if he’s already depressed. He asks if something happened he keeps on asking but Hashirama tells him that it’s nothing. He mentions that his younger brother died!

He came to that river in order to feel that his feelings are being carried away by the water, Hashirama asks how many brothers he’s had, he tells him he’s got four, he mentions that he had them, he also mentions that their Shinobi and that they might die at anytime. Madara mentions that the only way not to die is to show the enemy what you think without doing anything, and become allies with them. That’s impossible because it’s impossible to see what a person’s feels deep inside.

Hashirama asks if it’s impossible to see people thoughts, Madara mentions that he doesn’t know, he just comes there in hope. Madara also goes on a head to try his stone skipping, this time he gets it to the other side. He also mentions that this time it seems like there could be a chance, not only him but it seems like there could be something about an alliance here. Naruto 622 ends here!

A crazy long chapter with a lot of talking! Plus it seems like Hashirama and Madara could bring an alliance together, in the history books it says that they do, but how will they ever bring such a plan together. Can’t wait for next week’s Naruto 623, when we see more of Madara and Hashirama! Can’t wait to see the past of these two awesome characters!
