Hearing what his friend said, Senju Shige was also a little troubled. After all, he was much older than Jing. If he really wanted to trouble children of the same age as Jing, it would be a bit like "bullying the small with the big".

The taste is gone.

Senju Shige scratched his head, and said hesitantly: "Otherwise, I can find a good place to help you dig a trap?" Let Jing lead the people in and clean them up? What?...

Uchiha Jing suddenly cried and laughed, but he couldn't help but said: "It won't come to this, Brother Fan." Those who don't like him should have been "told" by their peers, so, even though they say it,

The words were not pleasant, but they didn’t really embarrass him. Besides, they also beat him, but that was all.

He was originally a "little genius" in the clan, and now he is receiving daily teachings from Tobirama-sama and Madara-sama, so he is naturally much better than his peers.

"Okay." Senju Shige shrugged his shoulders, and then raised his hand to hold his friend's shoulder and said softly, "But, mirror, I think this is also a test you have to face."

'."

"Test?" Uchiha Mirror murmured thoughtfully after being stunned for a moment.

Senju Shige thought: Yes, the test, the second uncle...should have expected this a long time ago, and maybe he was "insidiously" waiting to see the mirror's reaction. So, think about it carefully,

It's better for you to resolve the matter yourself, and it's hard for others to interfere?

Unknowingly, time passes.

Just the day before the festival?

When the little girl came back from buying desserts, she saw a familiar figure standing on the roadside not far from the Senju House, with her back to the street, full of melancholy.

"...Brother Hashirama?" she asked in surprise, "Why are you? here?"

The girl said this as she trotted to the other party's side.

With his hands on his sleeves, Senju Hashirama, who was thinking hard about various things, turned around silently, maintaining a "qaq" posture and looking at the little girl: "Hitomi-chan..."

"...Hey? Brother Hashirama? What's wrong with you?" The little girl was startled and said angrily, "Who bullied you? Tell me and I'll beat them up for you.

Take it out!" As she said this, she stuffed the bundle of desserts into Senju Hashirama and rolled up her sleeves, as if she was looking for trouble no matter what.

"...Pfft." No matter how melancholy Senju Hashirama is, he can't help but be amused. He smiles and looks.

The former indignant little girl thought to herself——

Oops, Hitomi-chan, are you trying to protect me? Even if I am from this village? Hokage.

Hmm, spotty? What a blessing indeed.

Like this? Hitomi-chan, it’s so reassuring~ and super cute too?~

Senju Hashirama's current thoughts, if translated, should be - as expected of me, cp, it's sweet again, it's so sweet~

"...Brother Hashirama?" Senju Hashirama's laughter made the girl a little confused, ah, ah? Could it be that she had misunderstood?

Then, she saw the tall man in front of her making a "come here" gesture toward her, so she obediently moved closer, and then her small head was held down by a big hand, and she muttered...

What happened?, is it like this?——

Early morning.

Senju Tobirama deliberately went to his eldest brother's courtyard before he ran off to find his "apocalyptic friend" (Senju Tobirama curled his lips).

"...Tobirama?" Senju Hashirama, who had just gotten up, was sitting cross-legged on his bed, scratching the hair on his head when he fell asleep, and looking at the person who walked in in surprise when he opened the door.

My younger brother asked, "Why did you come here so early? Do you mean you want to exercise with me and Madara?"

Senshou Tobirama wanted to turn around and leave on the spot - look, even if his biological brother came over, he would not think about exercising with his biological brother as the eldest brother. Instead, he always wanted to add an outsider. Haha.

, who is your real brother?

But he...has long been used to it.

Oh, what a sad realization.

So he walked up to his eldest brother with a dark face, knelt down on one knee, took out a bulging money bag from his sleeve, and handed it to the latter.

"This is?" Senju Hashirama tilted his head. Did he just wake up? He was still a little confused at the moment.

Senju Tobirama replied: "Take the children to attend the festival tomorrow night. Brother, you can't be empty-handed, can you? This is your pocket money tomorrow night." He was the one who deducted all his eldest brother's pocket money for the whole year.

Now he's secretly giving money to his eldest brother? It's still him. Don't ask, it's the love of the Thousand Hand Brothers.

"Oh!" Senju Hashirama took the money bag, "That's right, hahahaha, you are so thoughtful, Tobirama."

Qianju Tojian shook his head helplessly: "Anyway? Have a good time tomorrow night, brother."

"...Hmm." Senju Hashirama's face darkened - because their brothers knew very well that after the festival, Madara might have to leave again.

Konoha was shocked, but he quickly cheered up again and showed a hearty and bright smile, "Of course I will enjoy this rare celebration, and so will you, Tobirama."

"That's natural." Qianju Tobirama, who understood his eldest brother's mood at this time, patted the other party's shoulder, then stood up and left.

Hearing this, the little girl tilted her head and said: "Brother Hashirama, did Tobirama-kun give you pocket money? I will definitely not give you less. Could it be that... your wallet was stolen?"

However, someone can actually steal the wallet from Brother Hashirama. It’s so amazing...

"...No." Senju Hashirama denied her guess, and then silently took out the money bag his brother gave him in the morning from his sleeve. Well, the money bag is still there, but it's flat and empty.

of?.

The little girl curiously took the purse and pinched it, only to feel that it was indeed empty inside, but the problem was...

"Brother Hashirama, where is the money?"

Senju Hashirama thought: Well, this is a good question.

What happened?, is this what happened?——

He was indeed working normally and dedicatedly today.

However, sometimes it is not good to be too sharp. For example, he accidentally overheard his subordinates passing by the door discussing about playing cards together last night.

One said: "You won a lot last night, why don't you give me a treat today?"

Another said: "Okay, call everyone, and I'll treat you to a barbecue tonight."

Senju Hashirama's hands stopped when he was handling the case. He thought: Playing cards...

He hasn't been to a casino for a long time since his younger brother Tobirama "withheld his pocket money" for various reasons. Now that he hears people mention things related to "gambling", he is really itchy. Plus, what's on hand

Everything is almost settled...

At that time, he took out his wallet from his sleeve and looked at it, thinking: Tomorrow night, I will treat Madara and Hitomi-chan to food and play various games, oh, and buy snacks for the children, ah,

By the way, you must not forget Tobirama, otherwise it will be tragic.

Is this money enough?

So he silently opened the money bag and counted it.

All I can say is that my brother is always safe when doing things. Is the money enough or not?

But Senju Hashirama then thought: I also want to buy a bunch of big fireworks to show to Madara and Hitomi-chan? In this case, the money is not enough.

What’s the fastest way to make “money make money”?

That's right, that's it...

Ahem, go there!

Moreover, he

Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve been there. As the saying goes, “Luck accumulates.” He hasn’t been there for a long time, so of course he’ll have great luck.

Senju Hashirama nodded silently: Yeah.

Then, he successfully convinced himself in this way, and thought very firmly: I am not greedy, I will stop if I win double.

Then he happily lost his temper. He was in the office and went straight to the casino, which he hadn't been to for a long time.

And again and then?

And then, didn’t he just stand on the side of the road with a melancholy look on his face, not wanting to go back to the office but not daring to go home?…

Well, just imagine for a moment Tobirama's face when he knew about this... Farewell!

And even if you tell Madara about this kind of thing, it seems that Madara probably won't sympathize with him, and will only sneer and say, "Hashirama, you are such an easy guy. You haven't made any progress after so many years."

Hey, can't you comfort him a little bit, who is already miserable? Besides, only at this time, I don't want to borrow money from Madara...

As for telling the children... well, forget it, he still wants to maintain a little face in front of the younger generation. Although... they may be used to this kind of thing happening to him... and they won't lend money to him at all.

He made up for the shortfall because "his second uncle wouldn't let him."

"...It's so miserable." The little girl looked at the tall man in front of her with sympathy. Regarding Brother Hashirama's gambling luck, she had already heard it from Brother Madara.

Thinking that after so many years, Brother Hashirama is still stubbornly fighting against his "destiny", I have to say, it is really... hard and sad at the same time.

"...Huh?" Senju Hashirama was stunned.

"I lost everything..." the little girl said as she took out her wallet from her sleeve and handed it to the person in front of her without hesitation, "Brother Hashirama, take my money.

Use it, although I don’t know if it’s enough…”

Senju Hashirama suddenly burst into tears: Are you comforting me, Hitomi-chan... This can really be described as "a light in the dark" and "a fire in the ice and snow", well, although there is no

So? That’s just an exaggeration...
