Aura needs to just log the hell off.
Pondering if the "black people analogy" is report worthy, either way that post from the first line was complete stupidity. Trying to pass off saying someone wants to "enslave humanity" as an explicit term and compare it to someone else's deed that can be misconstrued as segregation is just...dumb
Yes it is completely report worthy. I was completely and utterly serious with every single word. I am a thorough racist and I dine on puppies for breakfast if there aren't any babies around. 😬
Are you serious? How can you not see that Tobirama is thinking along racist lines? Sure it's nowhere near as bad as slavery since even though the Uchiha were being segregated they weren't beaten everyday or treated inferior. But they were treated differently and clearly it got to the point where the Uchiha felt they were within their rights to rebel. Why I don't know. We only have Obito's words for it and he is a biased perspective(not that that always means he's lying). What I do know is their answer to the problem was, effectively, genocide. To pretend that Konoha hadn't been treating the Uchiha differently based on race(the leaders, not the citizens though Orochimaru implies they were too) is to deny what is in the manga.
And tell me again Psycho what Madara did in this last chapter, between stopping Hashirama from killing himself to Tobirama's rumor, that justify Tobirama's mistrust.
Edit: Of course maybe slavery is not the best analogy since what is going on is segregation. I almost want to say it's like Booker T. Washington's thing where African Americans were told to just stick to a certain type of work until their time comes. Can't say it fully works since Washington was black but whatever it fits better.

It's not that he had a specific distrust of Madara- he just had a general distrust of Uchiha due to a combination of rumor and knowledge of how the eyes worked in strong Uchiha. He felt they were unpredictable.
I know he had distrust. I just don't see it as particularly justified. I mean Madara had just as much a right to distrust the Senju but he showed that he was for a time willing to let go. It's the fact that the hate filled Uchiha was willing to let go when the lovey dovey Senju guy wouldn't that bugs me.
Check the last page of the chapter for madara's true nature.
Doesn't fit the criteria of the question. And a persons "true nature" being discernible so easily is also something I don't agree with. People are impressionable. They're shaped by circumstances.
So nobody is going to comment on the new Naruto chapter? Well the fight is over and even though we had to suffer through a few chapters of flashback-ception, Kishimoto pretty muhc glazes over the fight between Hashirama and Madara. The way Hashirama won is kind of funny.
I wonder what Sasuke will make of all of this?

I remember Madara taunting that only he could see through the wood clones. Guess not ^^And where in that did he steal any sample of Hashirama, I wonder?
Looked like he had his Sharingan deactivated prior to that final clash.
Also, I wonder if Madara used genjutsu here. Or could just be symbolism.
Madara using genjutsu would probably explain how he got out of this alive. I mean I think he could still fall back on Izanagi though considering he gives both his eyes to Nagato latter on, I'm not sure if that's the case.
Still want to know how Hashirama died. Dude was essentially the ninja god of his generation after Madara was dealt with.

must have been a bluff on his part then. unless Madara was able to tell the difference later in his life.given that they always hung out with one another, probably off screen. or maybe given that final battle, he survived and found some of his flesh or something in the area.
He could see through it with his Sharingan. We don't know how exactly he did it, but he didn't have his Sharingan active when they had their final clash.
A major chunk of the fight took place off-screen after Hashirama subjugated Kurama, and what we saw in the latest chapter was the conclusion. Could have happened during the off-screen portion.

The stress of losing Madara was too much for him.
