Uchiha Izuna watched the two figures from a distance, feeling that they were just like two cats fighting to death before the end of the world...

but,

He looked down at his palms and thought: No matter what, I can't let my brother's "end of the world" come.

Because if the brother falls into pain, then his end will come.

Therefore, no matter what you do, no matter what you need to pay, absolutely...

"Izuna? Why are you here?" Senju Hashirama looked at his friend's brother who came to Senju's station in surprise.

If it were in the past, Uchiha Izuna would have been besieged when he showed up in the "enemy camp" in such a big way. But firstly, the two tribes reached a temporary peace contract before attending the gathering at the Kyōrei Shrine. Secondly, because of a certain

Regarding the matter of the Uchiha clan leader’s wife, the current relationship between the two clans is somewhat delicate. Therefore, at this time, no one wants to provoke a dispute without authorization.

"Can we talk?" Uchiha Izuna said straightforwardly.

At this moment, he had suppressed his usual smiling expression, and looked like a sword that was still full of energy even if it was not unsheathed.

However, maybe this is his truest appearance.

After all, he is an Uchiha, a powerful Uchiha with the Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Of course." Senju Hashirama looked at the other party with admiration in his heart, but he was not shocked, because in his opinion, his friend Apocalypse is the sharpest sword in the world. He is used to fighting against him, and

How could he be so easily shocked by other things? He smiled and nodded, readily agreeing, "No problem." At the same time, he was already keenly aware of something in his heart.

So, the two of them entered Senju Hashirama's temporary study alone.

Sit facing each other.

Senju Hashirama asked with a smile: "Izuna, did you come to me specifically because of Hitomi's matter?"

"Yes." Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Uchiha Izuna didn't think about covering up too much. He looked directly at the other party with sharp eyes and asked directly, "You really can't save Hitomi-san?"

Senju Hashirama sighed and nodded seriously: "I'm sorry... Izuna, Hitomi's body is really at the end of its strength. It's hard for me to say anything in front of Madara... In front of you, I'll just say it, even if

These are the medicinal herbs with miraculous curative effects recorded in the classics. If you take them to Hitomi now, they will only extend your life by a few months."

"..."

Senju Hashirama paused, giving the other party some time to react, and then continued: "You are also a ninja, so you should know that something like chakra is both protective and lethal. Hitomi...should have been quite powerful during his lifetime.

A powerful ninja, but Hojo Megumi is very weak. This is like putting magma into an ordinary vase. It is destined to have such a result from the beginning. Unless a suitable container can be found to transfer the magma into it.

.”

Uchiha Izuna's eyes lit up.

"But, firstly," Senju Hashirama did not give the person in front of him false hope, but chose to "throw cold water", "It is not that easy to find a suitable container, let alone a limited time; secondly, everyone can say the theory

, but in fact, few people can do it, at least I can’t.”

Uchiha Izuna was silent again.

After a few seconds, he asked: "Where is Senju Tobirama? Can he do it?"

Senju Hashirama knew how difficult it was for the people in front of him to say these two sentences. They were all brothers, and he knew what kind of friendship it contained, so he replied sincerely: "I'm sorry.

, Izuna, I don’t know. I only know that Tobirama has always been interested in these things and did a lot of research behind my back. But because I really don’t like these, after confirming that he will not break any bottom line, I

I deliberately didn’t care.”

The so-called "turning a blind eye and pretending to be confused" is roughly what it means.

Hearing this, Uchiha Izuna sneered: "It's sanctimonious."

Senju Hashirama said nothing.

——Maybe, but he has never claimed that he is a good person. In this world... how can there be a good person who keeps killing people? However, if this is necessary to survive, then he hopes that the reason for his killing will change from meaningless to meaningless.

Meaningful. It is for the world and more people, not for the so-called interests of the employer.

Of course, Uchiha Izuna was just complaining subconsciously. After all, he never claimed to be a good person. He just wanted to do his best to protect his family in this world where accidents and deaths happen every day.

, nothing more.

"So," he asked again, "what will it cost us?"

Uchiha Izuna is very clear about his sister-in-law's determination, and also knows that Senju Tobirama may not treat her under normal circumstances. However, if there is one person in the world who can force him to change his mind, it is undoubtedly the person in front of him.

Because they are both younger brothers, he knows very well that even if Senju Hashirama asks Senju Tobirama to die, the latter will commit seppuku without saying a word. There is no special reason, just because they are brothers, so they are very close.

I am willing to dedicate everything I have to my brother.

"Izuna, don't say that." Senju Hashirama shook his head and said sincerely, "I really hope that you and Tobirama will relax on my and Madara's ideals, but it should never be done in this way.

.Moreover, Hitomi's body and health should not be used as a bargaining chip. I promise you," he said sincerely, "I will do my best to persuade and plead with Tobirama. You, Madara and Uchiha don't need it either.

Maybe you don't know what you have done for this, but Madara and Hitomi have met with me many times before, and in my heart, she is also a friend, a very good friend."

He also sincerely believed that a woman like her should not die easily, which was a pity.

From now on, we should work hard and seriously in the "Utopia" they built together.

...Well, at this moment, Senju Hashirama looks like a "black-hearted capitalist". However, his sincere hope that the Uchiha child can survive is definitely not fake.

after all……

Although he was not sure about other things, he was certain of one thing, that is, if Hitomi died, Tobirama would never feel relaxed, he would only...

Feeling the same pain as Madara.

Precisely because he is Tobirama's brother, he can be so sure.

"..." Uchiha Izuna was silent for a moment, and then, holding his knees with both hands, he leaned down and saluted the person in front of him seriously, "Thank you." He really still didn't like this guy, but this and

His admiration and gratitude at the moment are two different things. In other words, although he has always disliked this guy, he has always acknowledged that he is a respectable opponent.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Senju Hashirama smiled, "Madara's younger brother is me..."

"Don't try to take advantage of others." Uchiha Izuna warned with a smile, "Also, my brother never wants to get a white-haired brother."

Senju Hashirama: "..." Hey, it's great that we are all brothers... He paused and then talked about another thing, "Speaking of which, Izuna, you and Madara have guessed Hitomi's origins.

?”

"Huh?" Uchiha Izuna immediately concentrated again after hearing this and asked seriously, "Did you get some clues?"

"No, it's just a guess." Senju Hashirama raised his hand and rubbed his chin, "When I was looking through the family tree at home, I found that although the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are trying hard to protect their bloodline, they haven't listened to it so far.

I have mentioned the exposure of blood inheritance limits, but over the years, there are still some people who were first judged as 'missing' and then later judged as 'dead and the whereabouts of their bodies are unknown'."

"...What do you mean?"

"What I mean is...Waka Hitomi, her Wood Release and Sharingan are not possessed by other blood successors or ninjutsu, but because she has them at all?" Senju Hashirama put his hands on his knees.

He raised his head and said in a calm tone, "To be honest, Quan Na, if they can be copied so easily, it is impossible for the ninja world to go without any news for so many years, right?" He concluded his statement, "So, shall we?

It can be guessed that the original Hitomi is simply the bloodline of Senju and Uchiha? And because we don’t want to be discovered by our two clans, we have been deliberately keeping a low profile."

"How is this possible?" Uchiha Izuna frowned, "Senju and Uchiha..."

"What's impossible?" Senju Hashirama asked, "Madara and I are still good friends of Apocalypse. We meet on the battlefield every day and we fight and kill many times. It's normal for us to develop some feelings, right?"

Uchiha Izuna: "???" No, normal people will never have feelings for this, only perverts will. Well... I didn't mean to say that my brother is a pervert, he was just abducted when he was young and ignorant.

Regardless of what image Uchiha Madara has in Uchiha Izuna's mind...

But in short, compared to other aimless guesses, he did feel that Senju Hashirama's guess was slightly more reliable. Of course, he knew the potential meaning of the other party's words. If the two races combined, they could really create something.

If such a miracle happens, then...

Why not join forces to create more benefits?

Ninjas are pragmatic and greedy creatures. The pursuit of power has been engraved in their bones from the moment they were born. Therefore, in order to pursue the power of themselves and their tribe, some people will decisively pursue the option of completely turning themselves into monsters.

Choose, let alone...

"Of course, this is just a guess. On top of this, there are actually many things that cannot be figured out." Senju Hashirama spread his hands and said sincerely, "But, Izuna, one thing is irrefutable, that is,

The bloodline of Senju and the bloodline of Uchiha are by no means the same as fire and water, and they can coexist harmoniously."

After Uchiha Izuna was silent for a while, he replied: "This is also a direction of investigation."

Senju Hashirama suddenly showed a smile.

After that, the two chatted some more before ending this rare, calm conversation between two people.

Standing at the door of the study and watching his friend's younger brother leave, Senju Hashirama secretly admired: Izuna's figure is indeed very good-looking, well, it's not the same as ordinary ninjas, more like she belongs to a certain noble family.

Young Master.

However, if you have actually been on the battlefield, you will know how terrible the destructive power is hidden in that seemingly elegant body...

The Uchiha family is probably all in this style. The more beautiful a person is, the more ferocious they are when they pick up a knife to kill someone. However, this sense of contrast may be the special feature of this ethnic group. Those who appreciate it will appreciate it, and those who hate it will

It will also be doubly disgusting.

The former must be talking about him,

And the latter...

"Brother, what did you just talk about with Uchiha Izuna?"

Senju Hashirama turned his head and saw that his brother, who had heard the news, had arrived. This was the first thing he said.

He replied with a smile: "It's nothing, just gossiping about some common things... Hmm? Tobirama, what are you doing with your sword?"

The silver-haired young man had a villainous smile on his face that was not very decent no matter how he looked at it: "I suspect that you are not my eldest brother, and I have proof." He had a pleasant conversation with Uchiha Izuna? Oh, why didn't he talk about him?

What about losing money to Uchiha Izuna in gambling? That's a little more believable.

"..." Tobirama...that...the way you are joking is not funny at all. Or are you actually just trying to find a reason to hit me?
