after a while.

Senju Hashirama folded his arms, lowered his head and frowned in thought.

Uchiha Madara also folded his arms, his expression quite calm.

The tailed beasts collectively looked at Senju Hashirama, curiously and worriedly waiting for this man's decision.

The little girl tilted her head, looking left and right, but she was not worried: Well, although the time she spent with Brother Hashirama was not very long, she also fully felt the uniqueness of this man...

...Well, charm? Temperament? Well, in short, no matter what it is, she is convinced at this moment that Brother Hashirama will never make a decision that will disappoint Brother Madara or her. If you want to ask why, of course

Because this? Is? Brother Hashirama!

Moreover, she has always believed that Brother Hashirama has no desire for the power of the tailed beasts. The reason why he wants to capture them is more for the safety of the ninja world. But now, when he knows?

After all, the tailed beasts are not some kind of disaster beasts, and they do have a connection with him, so they will naturally reconsider it seriously.

And at this moment...

Senju Hashirama raised his head, looking at the expectant gazes of all the tailed beasts, and said: "Madara, it seems that we are really blood-related brothers!"

Sanwei: "..."

Wuwei: "..."

Kyuubi: "..."

What the hell! x3

You have been thinking hard for so long, and you just want to say this?!x3

It’s simply deceiving our feelings!!!x3

Uchiha Madara was also speechless, so he said: "Hashirama, the point is not here."

"Well, having said that? -" Senju Hashirama replied with a smile, "If I really am a descendant of that Asura, and Madara you are a descendant of Indra, then,

We really have a close relationship. Well, we have many brothers like that."

Uchiha Madara habitually poured cold water on him: "Are they relatives from thousands of years ago? Hashirama, wake up, even if you find two people randomly on the streets of Konoha, count their kinship relationship for thousands of years.

Maybe they are all related to each other."

"How can they compare with us?" Senju Hashirama replied in a very matter-of-fact tone, "Madara, you and I were born to be brothers. Knowing this now is just proof.

Just this? Just a little bit?"

Uchiha Madara: "..." Okay, forget it if it doesn't make sense.

"But then again," Senju Hashirama rubbed the

Tomoe, "My ancestors are not very ambitious. I am younger than you, Ban. Can't he try to be bigger than your ancestors?"

Uchiha Madara: "???" Why don't you say you're not up to par? Hashirama.

Several tailed beasts also rolled their eyes silently in their hearts, thinking: If young master Ashura had been the eldest son from the beginning, then maybe things would not turn out the way they did later.

"I'm kidding." Senju Hashirama raised his hands and stretched, and said with a smile, "This matter... well, it's my responsibility. I didn't fully investigate the specific situation of the tailed beasts.

We made such a decision." As he spoke, he looked at the tailed beasts and said seriously, "I apologize to you."

"No, no, no..." Kyuubi shook his head quickly, swung his big ears back and forth, and replied, "Hitomi-chan also told us that the reason for this is inseparable from the way we have been doing things for a long time.

It’s a relationship. Even if there is a mistake, the fault lies with both parties, not with you alone, Hashirama-sama.”

Sanwei and Wuwei nodded at the same time.

Senju Hashirama glanced at the little girl and thought: Really...reasonable, Hitomi-chan. However, Madara does need such a person around him. Well, he is not talking about Madara.

It's not unreasonable, but Madara's temperament is indeed too explosive sometimes, so he needs a little "softness" to calm it down.

"Besides, Madara, your doubts are unreasonable." Senju Hashirama raised his hand and rubbed his chin, "These tailed beasts created by Dao Sage in his later years, why were they defeated by Uchiha's Sharingan?

?It's indeed a bit strange. I mean, as a descendant of Asura, if you want to capture these tailed beasts, you probably have to rely on force." As he spoke, he looked at the three tailed beasts.

, asked very politely, "Want to try it?"

The three tailed beasts shook their heads at the same time: No, farewell!

Senju Hashirama: "..." Are these tailed beasts too aware of current affairs? Madara... are they really good at training people... No, they are beasts.

"There is one more thing..." Uchiha Madara lowered his head and was silent for a moment, seeming to be deciding whether to say something.

Senju Hashirama didn't speak or urge, but waited patiently and gently - just like he had done many times in the past.

Uchiha Madara closed his eyes, finally made up his mind, raised his head and said, "About Izuna... I got some other clues."

"Really?" Senju Hashirama grabbed the hand of the person in front of him with an eager expression.

He asked, "Madara, what?"

Uchiha Madara thought for a moment, then shook his head and explained by the way: "No, I don't trust you, I just don't want to scare the snake for the time being. It's just that, Hashirama, we are all people who have had many younger brothers. I

Now I have begun to doubt, not only Izumi, but also my other brothers..." He paused, then looked at Senju Hashirama's eyes that suddenly widened, and continued, "I have

?There are no younger brothers anymore, and you still have, Hashirama. If we are really the descendants of those two, the two most outstanding ones at present, if our lives are being paid attention to in disguise by someone, then,

You have to be extra careful too, Hashirama."

Senju Hashirama endured the turmoil that suddenly arose in his heart and tried to calm down. He thought: Madara is reminding me to pay attention to Tobirama's safety. Madara who would say this, in the wood

The clue Ye got couldn't be just "a little bit", maybe it was some key part. So, where did he get it?... No, the point is not here. Since Madara chose not to tell

, there must be their reasons. So as a friend and brother, what he should do most is not to investigate these, but to actively cooperate with Madara and protect Tobirama. He only

The remaining brother.

"Next," Uchiha Madara continued, "I will go to a place first, and then go to the Country of Wind to take away the One-Tailed Shukaku, and then go to the secret realm of the Uchiha clan that only the clan leader knows.

Restore history as much as possible and figure everything out." He said in a calm tone, "If I encounter other tailed beasts on the way, I will also collect them without ceremony. Hashirama, what are you going to do?"

Senju Hashirama: "..." After he was silent for a while, he replied nonchalantly, "Then I will go and check the ancient books passed down by the Senju family seriously. Maybe there will be something different in them."

"Well, this thing... I think I can't hide it from Tobirama." Speaking of this, he gave a dry smile and asked cautiously, "Can I say something to him? I am."

, the unimportant ones.”

"Whatever?" Uchiha Madara sneered, "If a man like his brother knew that he might just be a pawn in someone else's hands, hehe, I think he would be more active than anyone else.

"

Senju Hashirama: "..." Hey, hey, Madara... I actually know Tobirama quite well. However, according to Tobirama's pride and self-esteem, this is indeed the case.

That's right. After all, the smarter a person is, the more arrogant and arrogant he is. Tobirama has always been very confident in his own intelligence, so how can he tolerate himself being used by others?

"So what about the tailed beasts?" Uchiha Madara returned to the focus again, and did not allow the people in front of him to talk about him?

Senju Hashirama continued to grab his friend's "big hand", shook it up and down half-jokingly, and said seriously: "I don't know anything. The Five Shadows Conference only made a preliminary decision, but the distance

The actual implementation is still quite some time away. During this period, I have been busy with government affairs in Konoha. How can I care about whether there are any strangers? Secretly capturing tailed beasts. After all, other villages are trying to capture tailed beasts on their own, and I also

You don’t care, right?”

Uchiha Madara silently withdrew his hand: "..." As expected? You, Hashirama, are always cunning enough.

Senju Hashirama’s meaning is very clear——

I will pretend to know nothing, so, Madara, just do whatever you want.

...Of course, it would be better if you can slightly conceal your identity when doing it.

Please, don't make it too difficult for me!

"In that case?, then I will continue to collect tailed beasts first." Uchiha Madara said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Senju Hashirama nodded, "Thanks for your hard work, you are running around outside, Madara. After you collect the tailed beasts, you can go to your family's secret place to check it out. Let's get together and have a good chat."

"

Uchiha Madara did not nod, but showed a half-smiling expression: "Are you really not worried at all, Hashirama, that's it? Do you trust me?"

Aren't you worried? He is driving the nine tailed beasts controlled by him to attack Konoha?

That scene, even Hashirama, must have given him a huge headache, right?

Seeing his beloved village being destroyed in an instant, what kind of terrifying expression will Hashirama show, what kind of murderous aura will flow out of his body, and what kind of powerful strength will burst out from his whole body. Sometimes, he? is? really?

curious.

...Although, it is true that this is not the case.

Senju Hashirama looked into his friend's eyes and replied sincerely: "If you can't trust Madara, who can I trust?" By the way, he quietly added in his heart - and Tobirama.

(Senju Tobirama: Am I really? Thank you.)

Uchiha Madara was silent for a moment, then turned his head slightly and reminded: "Hashirama, if you continue to be so naive, one day, this will happen."

"That naivety will come back to destroy you."

"Ah ha ha ha..." Senju Hashirama scratched the back of his head and laughed a few times, and then said with a smile in his eyes, "If such a thing really happened, you would come to help me, right, Madara?

"

"...Tsk, let's see if I'm free then." Uchiha Madara said as he stood up, "Then, let's stop here."
