Changes: A Clan Possessed by Evil

Revision as of 13:02, 26 December 2013

"A Clan Possessed by Evil" (悪に憑かれた一族, Aku ni Tsukareta Ichizoku) is chapter 619 of the original Naruto manga.

Summary

As the newly reincarnated Hokage adjust to their circumstance, Suigetsu marvels at being in the presence of Hashirama. When the situation of how their souls were released and then they were reincarnated is explained by Hiruzen and Minato, Hashirama bluntly asks who the latter was. Announcing himself via his title of Fourth Hokage, Hashirama is pleased that the village had seemingly enjoyed such stability but was later shocked and bit apprehensive to hear that his granddaughter had inherited the title of Fifth Hokage. The banter between the Hokage is soon cut short after Orochimaru allayed their outrage that he had reincarnated them to destroy Konoha and instead presented Sasuke to them. From this point, Sasuke first questioned the Third about the Uchiha clan massacre and Hiruzen sombrely confirmed all that the young man had been told, noting that this was something Itachi decided to shoulder himself. This led the conversation to segue into a conversation about the Uchiha with Tobirama and his decision, as well as motives behind giving the clan the Konoha Military Police Force as a sign of trust. Here it was revealed that the Uchiha was a clan possessed by evil, but above even the Senju, they valued love and friendship above all else, but as a result of this, its loss had an even greater-than-normal effect on them. Upon hearing all this, the young Uchiha turns towards the once-leader of the Senju clan, posing two questions to him: what the village meant, and what was the purpose of shinobi.

Trivia

Going from timeline of events given in the databooks, Hashirama would not have been alive when Tsunade was born.
In the original publication, when Sasuke reveals his Mangekyō Sharingan, it is his own, regular Mangekyō Sharingan, without Itachi's Mangekyō on top of it. In the tankōbon release, Itachi's Mangekyō is added, resulting in Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

 == Summary ==
+As the newly reincarnated [[Hokage]] adjust to their circumstance, [[Suigetsu]] marvels at being in the presence of [[Hashirama]]. When the situation of how their souls were [[Dead Demon Consuming Seal: Release|released]] and then they were [[Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation|reincarnated]] is explained by [[Hiruzen]] and [[Minato]], Hashirama bluntly asks who the latter was. Announcing himself via his title of Fourth Hokage, Hashirama is pleased that the village had seemingly enjoyed such stability but was later shocked and bit apprehensive to hear that his granddaughter had inherited the title of Fifth Hokage. The banter between the Hokage is soon cut short after [[Orochimaru]] allayed their outrage that he had reincarnated them to destroy Konoha and instead presented [[Sasuke]] to them. From this point, Sasuke first questioned the Third about the [[Uchiha clan massacre]] and Hiruzen sombrely confirmed all that the young man had been told, noting that this was something Itachi decided to shoulder himself. This led the conversation to segue into a conversation about the Uchiha with [[Tobirama]] and his decision, as well as motives behind giving the clan the [[Konoha Military Police Force]] as a sign of trust. Here it was revealed that the Uchiha was a clan possessed by evil, but above even the [[Senju]], they valued love and friendship above all else, but as a result of this, its loss had an even greater-than-normal effect on them. Upon hearing all this, the young Uchiha turns towards the once-leader of the Senju clan, posing two questions to him: what the village meant, and what was the purpose of [[shinobi]].
-As those present marvelled at the people before them whom had been [[Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation|reincarnated]], an outraged [[Tobirama]] voices his discontentment with the fact that [[Orochimaru]] had used them again. [[Hashirama]] slightly puzzled at the situation has it explained to him by [[Hiruzen]], and later [[Minato]]. When the latter had finished, Hashirama blandly asks the young man who he was and as the Yellow Flash proudly brandished the insignia of the Fourth Hokage on his back, Hashirama — unable to contain himself — is pleased to no end that there was a Fourth Hokage taking this as a sign that the village was prospering. Though a bit disappointed to hear that the Fourth had died early he eagerly asks who had taken up the mantle of the Fifth, but upon hearing that it was his granddaughter [[Tsunade]], he is compelled to ask whether the village was all right. Laughing off his apprehension and remembering his granddaughter, Hashirama tells Minato that he had spoiled Tsunade quite a bit because she was his first granddaughter and had even gone as far as to teach her how to gamble. Not one to get side-swept so easily, Tobirama questions the fact that Orochimaru was using his technique so easily, to which the [[Sannin]] notes that it was not that the technique was a difficult one, it was that it should have never been created. With Hiruzen and Tobirama's assumption that Orochimaru was still adamant to destroy [[Konohagakure]], Hashirama tries to admonish his younger brother, but Tobirama authoritatively tells his elder brother to keep quiet while he spoke to the youngsters.
-Setting them straight regarding his motives, the Sannin introduces [[Sasuke]] to the [[Hokage]], particularly shocking Hiruzen. Directing his question directly to the Third, Sasuke asks firstly why he had [[Itachi]] commit the [[Uchiha clan massacre]]. Solemnly explaining that Itachi was a child wise beyond his years, and everything they had entrusted to him, he also reveals the ultimate reason why Itachi chose the path he did; finally confirming everything Sasuke had been told to be true. Not surprised by the actions, Tobirama begins to berate the Uchiha but Orochimaru counters that it was in fact Tobirama's actions that had led them down this path after putting them in charge of the [[Konoha Military Police Force]] and ostracising them. Angered by this, Hashirama rounds on his brother telling him that this was exactly the kind of thing he told him not to do, but Tobirama explains that the Uchiha were a clan possessed by evil. Asked to explain what he meant, Tobirama tells those present that even above the Senju, the Uchiha treasured love above all else and goes to elaborate that it was the great love within them when lost which awakened the [[Sharingan]] and it subsequent forms and festered with their feelings causing them to become uncontrollable — citing Madara's great love for his brother as a prime example. It was because of this that Tobirama decided to try and use this great love the Uchiha have and set it towards a positive goal, noting that he could not be blamed for them destroying themselves for the village's sake. Chiding his brother again for speaking to an Uchiha child like that, Sasuke activates his [[Mangekyō Sharingan]] and tells them that he was not "pure" before directing his question to the First asking the great man what was the village, or even shinobi in the first place.
