Chapter 2 Madara and Hashirama

In the Hokage Building office, Tobirama Senju moved a stool over and sat in front of the light screen, not thinking at all that there was any danger in doing so.

"I'd like to see how you're going to introduce my older brother."

Because of the principle that ninjas must keep their surnames secret, Hashirama was unaware that the handsome young man before him was a member of an opposing clan.

However, the cunning Hashirama deduced from the way Madara skipped stones that Madara was also a ninja.

[While the two were having a great time, the corpse of a member of the Feathered Robe Clan floated down the river.]

This situation alerted Ah Zhu.

Hashirama tells Madara to make a quick getaway, as this area will soon become a battlefield.

However, Hashirama's instinctive act of walking on the water also revealed Madara's identity as a ninja.

When they first broke up, they knew each other's first names but not their last names.

Looking at the images on the screen showing his older brother and Madara meeting and getting to know each other by the river when they were children, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but nod.

This is exactly the kind of thing his older brother would do.

"But did Madara Uchiha have worries when he was young, and need to skip stones to relieve stress?"

Tobirama Senju knew Madara Uchiha as an arrogant and domineering person, and he really didn't know that Madara was like this when he was a child.

"It's only because Madara is already dead, otherwise I could use this to provoke him."

The thought of Madara wanting to kill him but being unable to do so filled Tobirama Senju with immense pleasure.

[After returning home, Hashirama learned that his younger brother, Kawarama, had died. Overwhelmed with emotion, he spoke harshly to his father, Butsuma, and was subsequently punched in the face.]

Hashirama, having been slapped in the face, wouldn't let it go and continued to argue.

Seeing how capable his son was at fighting, Butsuma turned and lunged to beat Hashirama to death.

Just as Butsuma was about to unleash a large-scale domestic violence attack, Tobirama Senju, who acted as both Hashirama's brother and mother, stepped forward and gave Hashirama a way out.

Not long after, Hashirama's younger brother, Itama, was also killed in a beating by the Uchiha clan.

Overwhelmed with grief at the loss of his two younger brothers, Hashirama went to the riverbank again.

"What do you mean I'm both a younger brother and a mother? You're really good at talking."

you do not say.

Given Hashirama Senju's carefree personality, if it weren't for Tobirama Senju's desperate efforts to protect him, he might have been beaten to death by his father, Butsuma, when he was a child.

At the same time, he also wanted to be a good older brother, but unfortunately, Watama and Itama died too young.

A fleeting sense of sadness crossed his mind, and Tobirama Senju continued watching the video.

Hashirama arrived at the riverbank, and coincidentally, Madara also happened to be there.

[The two brother-killers deeply understood each other's pain.]

Madara believed that the only way to stop the war between the various tribes was through open and honest communication.

Hashirama and Madara did not expect that any of the different ethnic groups would adopt this viewpoint.

Based on the idea that a strong young man can inspire a strong young woman, these two children decided to work hard, improve their abilities, and gain control of the situation as soon as possible.

However, as they practiced, the two began to meet secretly every day under the guise of exchanging skills. Over time, they became intimately familiar with each other's strengths and weaknesses.

"That doesn't seem right. Isn't Madara's ideal to unify all sides? Isn't the ideal of open and honest communication what Big Brother's ideal is?"

Tobirama Senju sensed something was wrong.

Was Madara's thinking so naive during his childhood?

"No wonder I became good friends with my older brother; we both have the same childish ideas."

One day, Hashirama met with Madara again, and the two climbed to the top of a mountain.

After reaching the summit, Hashirama told Madara that he wanted to build his own village within sight to protect young boys and girls.

[And they were trained, tasked with missions, and assigned ranks, thus keeping them away from war.]

[Actually, this can be interpreted as Hashirama telling Madara, "What you see right now is the empire I will build for you in the future."]

[Upon hearing this, Madara, who was standing nearby, expressed his agreement with his sworn brother Hashirama.]

The two hit it off immediately, and life went on peacefully.

If the two of them weren't bound by worldly constraints, they might very well be meeting secretly every day, deeply in love.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned; the couple's daily outings aroused suspicion from both sets of fathers.

Tobirama Senju's lips twitched. He ignored the quirky remarks on the screen and instead watched the images with great interest.

Clearly, these images evoked his longing for his elder brother.

He was now certain that what was said in the video was true.

The evidence is the scene where Buddha beats Hashirama.

There were only the four of them present at that time; there was no one else.

Therefore, it's impossible to disclose it.

Even if it were leaked, the image displayed on the light screen couldn't possibly be that accurate.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

It was as if someone was right beside them, painting down every detail of the conflict.

At that time, he and Hashirama were still very weak, and they might not have been able to discover the person hiding nearby.

But his father's Buddhist skills were among the best at the time.

If even he didn't notice anyone hiding nearby, then it's certain that no one was hiding around them.

If that's the case, then the appearance of this light screen and the images displayed on it are quite intriguing.

"Next, it should be time for that standoff."

As someone directly involved, Tobirama was well aware of the situation at the time.

"If my older brother hadn't intervened, I would probably be dead by now."

"Of course, if Madara doesn't intervene, Izuna will die too."

Tobirama did not resent Butsuma's choice at the time, after all, such things were common in the Warring States period.

They would stop at nothing to kill a child with potential.

Even if it means sacrificing one's own child.

[Byakuma had long ago arranged for Tobirama, Hashirama's only surviving brother, to secretly monitor their secret meetings.]

One day, during a small family meeting, the patriarch Butsuma told Hashirama that the handsome young man he met privately every day was from the Uchiha clan.

[And they strongly demanded that Hashirama kill Madara Uchiha next time they met.]

Hashirama, having heard this, dared not disobey and chose a day to depart.

The day we set off, the sun was shining brightly; it was a perfect season for parting.

To prevent any accidents, Butsuma and Tobirama were also secretly tracking Hashirama.

[Most coincidentally, Madara's father, Uchiha Tajima, was also planning to use this opportunity to kill Hashirama.]

[Yeah, that's all the leaders of these two vibrant social groups are capable of—killing the other side's child.]

The two fathers, along with their second sons, secretly laid an ambush, preparing to eliminate each other's eldest sons.

After arriving at both locations, Hashirama and Madara began causing trouble behind their parents' and younger brothers' backs.

They threw inscribed stones at each other to inform each other of their escape.

The parents on both sides, seeing their children's actions, immediately realized that something was amiss.

[Then, Butsuma led Tobirama to rush towards the other side, and Madara's younger brother Izuna did the same as Tajima.]

At this point, the four people were locked in a standoff.
