The OP is stating his point also. Although I know both sides wanted peace and to end the battles/war among one another.
Stating his point? Off course both sides would have wanted peace. But OP was making a weak attempt to make Uchihas look like peace loving simple minded people who just happen to be victims of the shinobi world. He even went on to add "
always wanted peace" statement. While the statements, attitude of Uchiha prove that not to be a case all over manga.
Off course some of them wanted peace but clearly Madara, Izuna the leaders felt betrayed by it. The fact remains that Uchihas agreed for peace only after Madara was losing his eye sight and took Izuna's. It clearly showed the dangers of MS and limits of sharingan wars as well.
They had been in 2 shinobi wars already. Everyone wanted peace.
It wasn't up to the Uchiha, but if they desired they could have spoken to Senju saying neither member from both clans can be Hokage, as you said others were in the village, they could have had a neutral Hokage, but never the less the Uchiha respected the decision by the village and themselves.
That too wasn't upto Uchhas alone and wouldn't that would have dismissed any Uchiha's chance to becme a Hokage.. come on Relax I expected better that from you.
The big brother who started the Uchiha Senju rivalry just because his father thought Senju ancester to be better would put this condition?
Frankly that would be very stupid condition that strongest shinobi and the one who has the most people supporting him should not be in the power. That doesn't go well even in democracies and you are asking for that in a shinobi world. Konoha would have been handicapt.
Madara even said he saw peace and no violence till the day came to choose Hokage. Than Madara got paranoid that Hashirama may eliminate Uchiha, but than Uchiha spoke against him saying all he wanted was power, took his brothers eyes, and was trying to awaken old flames. They turned there back on Madara and followed the village. That's when Madara left and came back to challenge the village and Hashirama not for Hokage title tho, I think?
Clearly they were Uchihas who weren't impressed with Madara's people skills. :|
OK. He challanged Hshirama who he was HOkage.What do you think would have happenned if Madara had won that day?
The reason OP made this topic is due to the past 3-4 topics were people are saying all Uchiha are evil, arrogant, and power hungry, as were Senju were better than them. The only two are Madara and Sasuke who fit the category. The Uchiha as did Senju wanted peace once the village was formed. What Madara did effected the Uchiha at the end.
I have been here for two years now. I have seen similar threads before and it keeps popping up now and then. The fact remains that action of Uchiha clan was going to rebel and start yet another war, within 10 years of thirld shinobi world war. They could have talked and demanded their rights if they felt slighted. But they refused to talk.
I'm yet to find out where the hell they were at the time of Kyuubi attack.
The OP post was a bit over the top as he implied he ws the only one with clear understanding and every other member who doesn't agree with him a fool. At the same time he has nothing substential to back up his deductions. Random statement that at one particular time Uchihas wanted peace is neither here nor there.
Even terrorists keep going on peace truce for short periods. They use that time to gather their resources.:shrug:
