A young man in red armor, with a smile as bright as the sun and long
straight black hair like a waterfall, stood on the treetop. Next to him was
a man wearing blue armor, with a white hedgehog head and a serious
face.
There is no doubt that the people coming are the two brothers Senju
Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.
Hashirama glanced casually at the scene, then immediately started
laughing.
"Hahaha, Xiao Qianxing, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've
become so strong"?
Hashirama patted Chihoshi's shoulder and laughed heartily. Even
Chihoshi, who could easily kill several Uchiha, was beaten into a grin by
him.
However, Chihoshi did not blame Hashirama, but looked at Tobirama on
the side with a reproachful look. After all, Hashirama sometimes behaved
inappropriately, and as a younger brother, Tobirama's education of his
brother was obviously still not up to standard.
The "wronged" Tobirama gave a helpless look in return, then glanced at
Hashirama, who was still very cheerful at the time, and said that he was
really powerless to educate his brother.
Chihoshi also knew about this. When he left the Senju clan, he had
repeatedly told Tobirama to take good care of his brother. Unexpectedly,
Hashirama's personality remained the same as in the original work.
Helplessly, Qian Xing could only sigh.
The same was true for Tobirama. Thinking back to how unreliable his
brother was, he couldn't help but sigh.
Chihoshi and Tobirama communicated very quickly, and exchanged
information with each other through eye contact in a very short time.
Therefore, the sudden sighing of the two of them still made Hashirama a
little puzzled.
Just when Hashirama was about to ask Chihoshi the reason, in order to
avoid the topic of meeting Madara later, Chihoshi chose to "take the
initiative".
"Hashirama, aren't you planning to get married? Why do you have time
to come here?"
Upon hearing Qianxing's question, Hashirama lost all his master
demeanor and started laughing.
"Hahaha, of course it was Mu's clone who came, otherwise Tobirama
wouldn't let me go out."
As he spoke, Hashirama suddenly stopped smiling and turned his gaze to
Mito, who was already unconscious in Chihoshi's arms.
"Compared to this, are you okay, Mito? I heard from the Uzumaki clan's
young patriarch Yusuke that your healing ability is amazing."
"well enough".
Chihoshi calmly answered Hashirama's question, "Also, I met Uchiha
Madara."
As soon as Qianxing finished speaking, the next moment, Hashirama and
Tobirama's expressions froze in an instant.
"How can it be"?
Tobirama showed an incredible expression, while Hashirama glanced
around again and then shouted to Chihoshi and several of his men.
"Evacuate immediately."
Perhaps it was the tempering of more than ten years of war that made
him change from his previous carefree look to calm and capable, with
even his voice sounding calm, giving people a feeling that no one dared
to look down on him.
And the fact was just as Qianxing had imagined. After hearing the order
from Du Zhujian, the subordinates who followed him protected the few
people in the middle without saying a word, as if they were escorting
them.
"retreat"!
...
The highest voting meeting room of the Uchiha clan.
Although Madara is the clan leader, four people went out to fight and
only one returned. Madara's return gave those who had forcibly seized
the position of clan leader an excuse to attack her.
"What's going on? Didn't the hunter go on the mission with you? Why are
you the only one back?"
The person who questioned was the hunter's father.
Although it was normal for a few people to die during the Warring States
Period, once someone took the lead, many people began to criticize.
"Yes, what about the whereabouts of the other two companions?"
"Yeah, they were so brave when fighting us, but they became weak when
facing the Thousand Hands Clan?"
...
Facing everyone's accusations, Madara remained calm as a mountain. He
sat there with his hands crossed, watching the people around him abuse
him without the slightest change in his expression.
When those people saw that Ban did not react, they became more
unscrupulous, and in addition to their accusations, they began to mix in
their own selfish motives.
"It has long been said that women should get married and have children.
It would be such a waste if such an excellent and pure Uchiha bloodline
is not continued..."
"Yes, a woman's role is to take care of her husband and children, give up
the position of clan leader, and find someone to marry."
...
Hearing such an "insult" from the other party, if it was earlier, Madara
might have taken action to suppress the people around her again, but
now, she inexplicably thought of Chihoshi who followed her around
when she was a child and said that she would marry her when she grew
up.
Then, the childhood Qianxing turned back into an adult in the blink of an
eye, but the other party still spoke the words of "proposal" to her in the
same tone as when he was a child.
However, his expression turned into a dull one, which made Madara,
who was lost in memories, involuntarily curl the corners of his mouth.
This abnormal behavior made Izumi, who had been paying attention to
her sister, change her expression drastically.
Because in his opinion, his sister has never been able to bear these
grievances, and now she has reached the state of "laughing in anger".
"Enough!"
Izunai slammed the table and then spoke loudly to the tribesmen around
him.
"Onee-sama is not the type to abandon his companions. He must have
met the leader of the Senju clan, Hashirama Senju. After all, this mission
is to sneak attack the most mysterious of the 'Three Heroes of the Senju'.
It is impossible for the other party to let us succeed so easily."
"Maybe the source of our intelligence was deliberately revealed to us by
the other party in order to set a trap for us."
"Right, onee-sama."
After Izuna's reminder, many people gave up the idea of continuing to
make trouble. After all, the situation might be just as Izuna said. The
Senju clan was already difficult enough to deal with, and now there is the
[unparalleled combat power] Senju Hashirama, [the one who can
maintain peace and stability in the country] Senju Tobirama, and the
most mysterious but [wise and resourceful] mysterious man.
With the three members of the Senju clan known as the 'Three Heroes of
the Senju', the Uchiha clan has not gained any advantage over the years.
This is one of the reasons why Madara has been criticized after becoming
the clan leader.
Therefore, for such an important person, it is impossible for Hashirama
Senju not to take action personally.
There was no way they couldn't have guessed this, otherwise they
wouldn't have let Madara take a few 'little guys' who had just been
promoted to Chunin to carry out this sneak attack mission. After all,
those people were meant to be sacrificed.
However, those who want to find fault will not care about the reality and
will immediately use the "divide and conquer" strategy.
"Izuna, if you were the clan leader, I would have no objection, but your
sister is a little inappropriate, not to mention that she had contact with
the Senju clan when she was a child..."
After hearing what the other party said, Izuna wanted to refute, but what
the other party said was also true, so much so that later, in order to clear
his daughter's grievances, Madara's father decided to die together with
the previous chief of the Senju clan.
Therefore, Izuna didn't know how to refute for a moment.
However, just as Madara came back to his senses from his memories, he
heard the other party express the deepest thorn in his heart.
"So annoying!"
The annoyed Madara was not going to reason with these scum. He
slapped the table in front of him to pieces, and then looked at everyone's
eyes, which had turned into the [Mangekyo Sharingan] without him
knowing when.
"I was the one who gave up the hunter, and the others as well. I just gave
up a few people who didn't obey orders on the battlefield. What, do you
have any objections?"
Madara swept the whole place with a domineering look, and those who
wanted to continue to take advantage of him verbally immediately
swallowed their words.
And Izuna, who was standing by, saw that her elder sister had sufficient
reasons, and also joined the "battlefield".
The deterrent power of two pairs of [Mangekyo Sharingan] instantly
made the scene silent.
"Since everyone has no objection, and I still have something else to do,
today's meeting will end here."
Without paying attention to what the person on the other side would
think, Madara stood up and left after saying this.
When Izuna saw her sister attack these people so domineeringly, she no
longer wanted to continue chatting with them and turned around to
follow her sister.
However, after returning to the mansion, Madara was still in no mood to
chat with Izuna. Not only because of what those people had just said to
him, but also because from now on, he had one more friend on the
battlefield who he needed to fight against with swords. He was in a low
mood for a while.
After finding some work to get rid of Izuna, Madara locked himself in the
room.
However, even though the matter was resolved, Madara was still feeling
a little unhappy.
Lying on the clean tatami, with nothing to do, Madara began to recall her
childhood memories of twelve years ago again, until she remembered
that Chihoshi had given her a scroll when she was a child.
After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, Madara found the long-
sealed "treasure box". After carefully opening it, a torn but restored scroll
appeared in front of Madara.
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that."
Madara sighed, then took out the scroll that Qianxing gave him today
and put it into the "treasure box". However, a sudden curiosity suddenly
surged into Madara's mind.
"How about taking a look at what's written inside?"
Madara, who has always been lonely, also wanted to know what kind of
friendship would grow between him and Chihoshi after twelve years of
separation.
With this in mind, Madara, feeling somewhat uneasy, opened the scroll
and released the seal on it.
As for Qianxing, is it possible that he put some dangerous creatures or
powerful ninjutsu in it?
Perhaps he was just hoping for the best, or perhaps it was because of his
beautiful yearning for love, Madara neither hoped nor believed that such
a thing would happen.
Therefore, Madara removed the seal without any hesitation.
And as the seal was lifted, the next moment, thousands of scrolls
appeared out of thin air in the room, instantly covering the entire room.
"This..."
Thousands of scrolls represent more than four thousand days of longing
over twelve years. This kind of unwavering emotion that continues day
after day makes the usually strong-willed Madara soften his eyes at this
moment.
But the change only lasted for a moment, and the next moment, Madara's
eyes were full of domineering again.
However, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up at this
moment.
"Qianxing, I recognize you"!
