This is a 5/5 chapter. Not the best 5/5, but it is one of the best because a lot of information was given out.
1.
We readers have to stop taking for fact what characters say. The Second said that the Uchiha is evil and their eyes turn them evil isn't a fact.
2.
It is his "opinion" because they have tried to overturn the village, but he thinks they should be punished and not trusted from his interaction with them during all of the wars he fought with them. He knows Madara's heart and he is holding a grudge. He is still mad that the First let them join with them to form the Leaf. He is a hater.
3.
The First is one of the Greatest Shinobis of all time. Don't let the way the Second is acting towards him mislead you. He is the First Hokage, if the Second was stronger, he would have been the First Hokage. Who faced and defeated Madara, not the Second. Let's not get it twisted.
4.
This is Naruto Manga, and it is all about love overcoming hate and the First's personality is the best indication of what the village was built upon. His is approachable but will lay the smack down because he has so much to protect, which makes him stronger and have to stay and get stronger to protect it. Just like Naruto and the other Hokages.
5.
Stop with this God of Shinobis Bull!!!! Old age is the God of Shinobis. At the time the First was the strongest = God of Shinobis, at the time the Third was the strongest (of those living) = God of Shinobis. Get over it, at the time they were the strongest.
6.
Madara isn't the end all of Shinobis. He can't die, but I will take others in a fair fight against him. He is very powerful, but he could be beaten, especially now that there has been some intel gotten on him. He is just invincible from the Edo.
Just let's wait and see what happens. It is a long way to go.
