Chapter 780: Chapter 12: Tobirama Hand-Carves a Stone Tablet, Izuna Is Troubled
Senju Clan Land.
The young Hashirama stared blankly at the freshly brewed hot tea in front of him.
Originally, the young Hashirama had planned to chat with Tobirama on the way back to the Senju Clan Land to discuss the countless doubts in his heart...
About the sudden appearance of the Uchiha Bloodline, the Senju Stele...
And what exactly was going on with Tobirama’s deeply hidden power?
But the young Hashirama’s plan failed.
After Izuna fled in embarrassment from Tobirama’s shameless teasing, Tobirama laughed and put his arm around Hashirama’s shoulder. Then, with a blink of his eyes, they were at the Senju Clan Land.
This left the young Hashirama dumbfounded!
Now Tobirama not only has the Mangekyo Sharingan but also knows such a mysterious space-time jutsu? Without even needing to form a seal, he crossed half the Land of Fire?
Upon arriving at the clan land, the still bewildered young Hashirama was about to speak.
Tobirama closed the door with a bang and told him that whatever he wanted to ask could wait until he was done...
The clan leader of the Senju could only nod silently in pity and helplessness, choosing to return to his bedroom to clumsily brew a pot of tea, silently waiting for his mysterious brother to finish his work.
Scratch.
Scratch.
An inexplicable rubbing sound came from Tobirama’s room.
This sound was like a cat scratching, making the young Hashirama more and more restless in his already confused heart... He was really too curious about where Tobirama’s transformation came from and the Uchiha and Senju gossip from the Ancient Era!
And the most intriguing point—Tobirama said he had a secret crush on Izuna; what was that all about?
The seemingly cold and ruthless brother turned out to be a secretly love-stricken young man harboring feelings for his beautiful rival...
This was... truly exciting!
The young Hashirama tiptoed to Tobirama’s door, held his breath, and focused on listening for a while, his brows slightly furrowed.
What exactly was this sound?
It sounded like sharpening a blade or carving something...
"Don’t just stand outside, come in..." Just as the young Hashirama was racking his brains pondering, Tobirama’s voice came from inside the room.
The young Hashirama was startled at first, then shook his head with an embarrassed smile.
His brother’s perception ability was truly remarkable, despite him deliberately hiding his presence...
Gently pushing open the door, the young Hashirama was stunned.
He finally understood what that strange sound was...
In the center of the room.
Tobirama sat cross-legged, a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan radiating a bizarre red glow, with two types of Black Flame entwined on the index finger of his left hand.
On the thumb of his right hand sparkled a strange ice glow, surrounded by black cursed seals writhing like small snakes.
This scene alone was a bit unsettling to watch; it looked like he was conducting some eerie Kinjutsu experiment!
But Tobirama’s goal was a half-human tall stele placed before him.
Like a sculptor, Tobirama used his hands as chisels, sketching and drawing, occasionally emitting a scratching sound...
Which was precisely what the young Hashirama had heard outside the door.
The young Hashirama wanted to say something. In the past, if he saw Tobirama researching Kinjutsu like this, he would have long assumed the stance of clan leader and brother to interrupt this process and severely reprimand him!
But after the previous conversation.
The young Hashirama realized that even his martial power, which he had always been confident in but seldom mentioned, was insignificant before his mysterious brother...
Space-time jutsu, a repertoire of Kinjutsu, and adept in Five Release, let alone possessing the current strongest Mangekyo Sharingan in the Ninja World...
And even without considering martial prowess, Tobirama achieved something no one had done in a thousand years—making a real possibility for the Uchiha and Senju to unite!
No matter from which perspective, the young Hashirama felt he shouldn’t meddle with Tobirama’s affairs...
Even if he was developing Kinjutsu, upon seeing Tobirama accomplish something significant—making it possible for him and Madara to stop fighting to the death on the battlefield—the young Hashirama decided to tacitly consent to it.
"What is it, Hashirama?" Tobirama raised his eyes to look at Hashirama and said slowly.
A sadness welled in the young Hashirama’s heart; his brother, who used to call him brother affectionately like the Uchiha brothers, no longer did so since he revealed his hidden strength...
He was now rudely addressed by name!
"I... I wanted to see what you were doing... and also to know about things like the Senju Stele you mentioned, the alliance between the two clans, and the situation with you and Izuna..."
Although Hashirama’s heart was calculating, when he saw Tobirama’s Mangekyo, he still scratched his head awkwardly and said, rather embarrassed: "After all, I am also your brother and the clan leader of the Senju Clan..."
"I can’t know nothing."
Tobirama nodded understandingly: "I understand... About your first question, as for the Senju Stele, it’s right here... Only, you’ll have to wait a moment, I’m not done yet."
"Huh?" The young Hashirama was dumbfounded; you mean you’re forging the Senju Stele right now?
Wasn’t that an artifact from the Ancient Era? You’re not fabricating it!
"Alright, the final stroke!" The cursed seal on Tobirama’s finger intensified, and a large number of black, snake-like fuinjutsu surged into the stele.
In this moment, a brand new Senju Stele was completed!
