Chapter 759: Chapter 4: Tobirama: I Want to Negotiate with the Uchiha... Izuna: I Want to Kill Senju Tobirama!
"Eh?" Young Hashirama looked at Tobirama with surprise, as if he were observing some rare creature.
How did he agree to peace talks with the Uchiha Clan? He never thought Tobirama would agree to such a thing.
Young Hashirama looked at Tobirama’s appearance and felt a strange sensation in his heart.
He didn’t know why, but although there was no change in appearance, the red eyes of young Tobirama seemed different...
The red that used to be ordinary now seemed like the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan...
Scarlet and enchanting.
Young Hashirama frowned and carefully scrutinized Tobirama from head to toe for a long time.
He had a strange intuition...
How did his brother, who loathed the Uchiha Clan so much, suddenly have an inexplicable Uchiha aura about him? Somewhat wild, somewhat enchanting, somewhat violent...
Just like Tobirama... both brothers had great skill in identifying if someone belonged to the Uchiha Clan.
Except Tobirama relied on data from dissection research, while Hashirama simply had a special intuition.
"Tobirama, are you okay? I know, after father’s death in battle, you must be feeling awful... but there’s nothing we can do; death on the battlefield is always a constant possibility..."
Young Hashirama sighed, speaking slowly yet firmly, "Don’t worry... though I have no clue about governance, I will train hard to become the strongest ninja and stand up for the Senju Clan!"
"Even if Madara awakens his Mangekyo Sharingan, I won’t lose to him... Tobirama, trust me!"
Young Hashirama thought perhaps Senju Butsuma’s death placed too much pressure on Tobirama, causing this change...
Tobirama listened to young Hashirama’s impassioned words and smiled.
In the timeline he had experienced, too... It was true that at this point in time, Tobirama had felt immense pressure from Senju Butsuma’s death.
The Uchiha Clan, with the characteristic of a power surge in response to the death of a loved one, would experience an unreasonable short-term increase in strength, creating a suffocating pressure on their enemies like a student who left homework to the last day of summer vacation...
It was from that moment that Tobirama began to research kinjutsu to counter the Mangekyo Sharingan, finding his own path in this pursuit, and ran wild down it...
"I believe you’ll become the God of Ninja, my foolish brother."
Tobirama said softly, "Though usually not competitive, simply grinning stupidly, your inner desire for battle and power is no weaker than that Uchiha Madara..."
Tobirama’s gaze seemed almost piercing, watching the young Hashirama in front of him.
Because of this quality, his brother, the reincarnation of Asura Chakra through generations, could counter the reincarnation of Indra’s chakra combined with the Nine-tails to become the strongest of his generation...
Which, when you think about it, is like dealing with two Nine-tails plus the biased chakra of the Six Paths Sage!
Though the Asura Chakra is indeed strong, Senju Hashirama was truly the God of Ninjas of the Warring States Era...
"Haha, no way! I just don’t want to lose to him..." Young Hashirama scratched his head with a silly smile. He could somewhat tell that Tobirama’s words weren’t mocking but praising him, and he felt joyful inside.
"When the elder generation was around, Senju wouldn’t have let us take charge..."
Tobirama sat on the table, picking up a stack of intelligence files and reading them, saying, "Father’s hatred for Uchiha Tajima lasted long, that thousand-year chain had bound them to death..."
"There was no room for maneuver between them. If one were to take a step back, the other wouldn’t just watch. Instead, they’d immediately rush in to deal a blow..."
"Thus, under the leadership of those two clan leaders, the only thing the Senju and Uchiha could do was relentlessly attack each other until one side completely annihilated the other, or both tangled together into extinction in ninja history."
"But now, the situation is different... Butsuma is dead, and Tajima is too."
"Do you know what that means?" Tobirama looked down at the young Hashirama, asking in this way.
What does it mean? —— [It means both Madara’s and my dads are dead.]
The above is the first thought that appeared in young Hashirama’s mind.
Though nonsensical, this actually is one of Senju Hashirama’s strong traits...
In the Warring States Era, a time when countless corpses could be encountered just by stepping outside, this kind of coarse nerve that allowed him to quickly adjust his mindset in the face of life and death was indeed a moat that kept his mind from collapsing.
The phenomenon of going crazy and becoming thrice as strong only applied to the Uchiha in the Ninja World... Most ninjas, after falling into mental chaos, would reveal more flaws in battle, killed mercilessly by calm enemies.
"Uh uh..." Young Hashirama pondered deeply, and a flash of inspiration burst forth in his mind.
Though he couldn’t summarize it, his eyes grew brighter!
It seemed, Tobirama meant that... the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan could have a turning point?
Tobirama looked at the young Hashirama helplessly.
It seems, regardless of the timeline, his brother was always this slightly clueless...
"Didn’t you just propose peace talks with the Uchiha Clan? It seems you were thinking too shallowly..."
Tobirama shook his head and slowly said, "Peace talks aren’t like those so-called ceasefire agreements from before, useless things that could be thrown into the toilet like toilet paper..."
