In the forest, Hashirama walked towards the clan with a very straight stone in his hand and a slight smile on his lips. It could be seen that he was very happy at that moment.
As he walked, a figure crossed his path. Hashirama casually placed the stone in his arms. "What's wrong, Tobirama?"
Senju Tobirama became serious: "Brother, I have something to tell you, it's important, let's return to the clan first."
After the silence, the two returned to the Senju clan.
Next to the continuous buildings, red flags fluttering on the branches of the trees indicate who this place belongs to.
In the room, Senju Butsuma crossed his arms and chest, with a piercing gaze "Hashirama, you often meet a child, right?"
"Ah?" Hashirama's pupils instantly shrank, a look of disbelief on his face. "How do you know?"
Tobirama turned to look at Hashirama "Father ordered me to keep an eye on you."
Hashirama looked at Tobirama in disbelief: "You watch me? I'm your older brother."
Tobirama also imitated his father. He crossed his arms over his chest, closed his eyes slightly and said with some confidence in his voice, "In terms of perception, I am above you."
Hashirama felt paralyzed for a moment, curling his lips in discomfort and turning his head to the side without speaking further.
'I love you so much, but you spy on me. Don't you feel guilty?'
It was unclear whether Tobirama would feel guilty, but Butsuma stood off to the side, looking at Hashirama with a gloomy look on his face. "You've been going out a lot lately, I think there must be a reason, so I investigated that boy, he's a member of the Uchiha clan!"
For some reason, Hashirama felt a bead of sweat dripping from his temples. "Huh?"
Tobirama ignored Hashirama's reaction and continued talking to himself "It is said that he is a child who was born as a ninja genius!"
Hearing this, Madara's figure appeared in Hashirama's mind "Madara."
Tobirama looked at Hashirama and said, "It seems you're not surprised, you've already guessed each other's surnames, right?"
Suddenly, Butsuma looked at Hashirama with piercing eyes.
Hashirama shook his head without hesitation: "No, I don't know! I guess that guy could have done it too…"
Madara, perhaps you have guessed his identity?
Suddenly, Butsuma stared at Hashirama and said in an extremely harsh tone, "You must understand what this means! The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are enemies!"
Then, Butsuma changed his tone, "I haven't told the other members of the Senju clan about this yet, but once this is leaked, you will be considered a traitor. If you don't want to be considered a traitor, follow the boy the next time you meet him and try to get information about the Uchiha clan out of him. Bring the information back, that's your mission!"
At that moment, Butsuma's eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent "If he resists, kill him!"
Hashirama's pupils suddenly shrank and his face was covered in a look of fear.
Then, after reacting, he clenched his fists and looked at Butsuma "Wait a minute, is he really from the Uchiha clan?"
Tobirama nodded: "Yes, if he already knows your identity, he is probably pretending to be careless in order to steal information. You can't trust him!"
Hashirama leaned forward and replied, "No! Madara wouldn't do such a thing…"
Butsuma stared at Hashirama "It was his clan that killed our brother Itama. Have you forgotten him?"
"This…" Hashirama didn't know how to refute it.
"Just in case, Tobirama and I will follow you, understand?"
Hashirama remained silent.
Butsuma stared at Hashirama "What's your answer?"
Hashirama clenched his fists and said softly, "I understand."
After saying that, he stood up, turned around and walked out of the house.
In the courtyard, Hashirama looked up at the night sky and then took out the straight stone from his arms during the day.
After staring at it for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and held the stone tightly in his hand.
…
Early the next morning.
Hashirama and Madara arrived on both sides of the river as promised.
The two looked at each other in the air and Madara was the first to speak "Let's begin, let's say hello first!"
"Oh." Hashirama seemed to take a while to react. After Madara finished speaking, he nodded blankly and took the stone out of his arms.
Madara, on the other hand, also took out a straight stone and then, the two of them threw the stone towards the other side in unison.
!!
!!
Each one caught the stone that the other had thrown, they looked at it for a second.
Both of their pupils instantly shrank and they raised their heads to look in the opposite direction. Hashirama and Madara's eyes collided directly with each other.
Looking at Hashirama who had the same reaction as him, Madara waved his hand "Hashirama, I'm sorry, I can't stay today, I remembered that I have something urgent to do."
After saying that, Madara turned around and left.
Hashirama's pupils constricted slightly and he looked at Madara's back. "Ah... really? Then I'm leaving too."
After saying that, he also turned around and left, and on the stone in his hand, 'Run away' was clearly engraved.
Similarly, the words 'Trap, Go Away' are also engraved on the stone in Madara's hand.
Maybe it was because of the bond of friendship, or maybe it was because of the connection between them. They both did their best and gave each other clues in unison.
However, Senju Butsuma, who was hiding behind a tree, reacted immediately and grabbed the handle of the sword. "Such speed! Does he want to escape? Hashirama warned him! Come on, Tobirama!"
After the words fell, Butsuma ran out directly.
!!
Two black shadows quickly passed by Madara, and in an instant, four figures were in the middle of the river, facing each other.
At that moment, Hashirama and Madara, who had reacted, quickly stopped, turned sharply, and looked at their father and brother.
"It seems we have the same idea, Senju Butsuma." Uchiha Tajima held the long sword behind him in his right hand and looked towards Butsuma who was in front.
"And Tobirama!" Izuna held the short sword and stared at Tobirama standing in front.
"It seems so, Uchiha Tajima!
"And Izuna too!"
Butsuma and Tobirama greeted the two people in front of them in the same tone.
As a leaf slowly fell onto the water in the air, the four people standing face to face suddenly sprang into action, their swords colliding fiercely.
However, because there were children nearby, the two patriarchs did not use their full strength.
However, just as Izuna and Tobirama were in a stalemate, the two clan leaders suddenly jumped up and threw the weapons in their hands at each other's children.
Ding!
With a crisp sound, Hashirama and Madara threw the stones in their hands almost simultaneously, knocking down the weapons that were flying towards their brother.
