The Younger Brother Is Ready to Fight to the Death, So Why Does Big Brother Surrender First?

"Big Brother, what's so urgent about that worthless firewood?"

"The most important thing right now is to determine who will be the Leader!"

"You accuse me of neglecting my proper duties, but I'm doing this for you, for the Senju Clan, and for this village!"

Tobirama Senju darkened his face and roared furiously in his heart before forcibly suppressing his rapidly rising blood pressure.

My own big brother is a naive idiot. Forget it. I give up. I give up.

"Big Brother, the village has only just been established, and the people are still unsettled. At a time like this, we must have someone to lead us. Only then can everyone feel at ease and move toward a new future with one heart!"

"I'm not doing this to target the Uchiha Clan. Since I promised you, Big Brother, that I would treat the Uchiha Clan as comrades, I won't go back on my word!"

"Besides, for the village's long-term future, it would be better to settle this matter now."

Tobirama Senju folded his arms and restrained his temper, patiently guiding his Big Brother, Hashirama Senju, bit by bit. He made sure to emphasize that the suggestion he was putting forward was absolutely not meant to target the Uchiha Clan. For Big Brother's sake, Tobirama Senju could reluctantly treat the Uchiha Clan as comrades. Well... comrades who needed to be watched carefully and guarded against at all times!

My suggestion is entirely impartial!

When a clan, a village, or even a country was first established, the most important thing was to determine who would be the Leader!

Once there was a Leader, authority could be unified, preventing this already fragile alliance from falling apart again.

Hashirama Senju looked at the serious expression on Tobirama Senju's face, then nodded and began seriously considering Tobirama Senju's suggestion.

Over the past few years, the Senju Clan's affairs had actually been handled behind the scenes by Tobirama Senju, who had taken on all the dirty and tiring work.

Hashirama Senju only needed to boost the clan's morale and appear when fighting enemies. Therefore, Hashirama felt that Tobirama did indeed have more authority when it came to planning and developing the village.

After thinking it over carefully, Hashirama Senju felt that what Tobirama Senju had said did make some sense.

"Tobirama, in that case, for the village's future, we should indeed choose someone to lead the village first."

"Big Brother, exactly."

Hearing those words, Tobirama Senju couldn't help nodding. His Big Brother was a little stupid, but fortunately, he was willing to listen to advice.

As long as he listens, that's good!

There's still hope... there's still hope!

For the sake of the village's future, I must make Big Brother the village head and assist him as his deputy!

As for those naturally evil Uchiha, let them live in this village under the Senju Clan's leadership!

"Tobirama... why don't we let Madara be the Leader?"

Just as Tobirama Senju was thinking about his plans for the future and how to push Big Brother into the position of Leader, Hashirama Senju had already made his choice.

Who was most qualified to be the Leader?

I, Hashirama Senju, intend to nominate Uchiha Madara as the Leader!

"What?"

"Big Brother, are you kidding me?"

Tobirama Senju's expression changed. The younger brother is ready to fight to the death, so why does Big Brother surrender first?

Let Uchiha Madara be the Leader?

How could Big Brother's brain even come up with that?

Did that vermin, Uchiha Madara, even know how to manage a village?

Besides, if those dangerous Uchiha gained control of the village, they would definitely drag the Senju Clan down with them.

How could they allow such a thing to happen?

"Tobirama, I'm not kidding!"

"I think Madara will definitely make a good leader. Besides, Tobirama, you know that I don't have the talent to manage a village. Let Madara be the Leader."

Hashirama Senju spoke with complete seriousness. He was only good at fighting, and he couldn't even manage the affairs of the Senju Clan properly. If he became the village's Leader now, wouldn't that be delaying the village's future?

It's better to let Madara do it. He'll definitely do a good job!

"???"

Tobirama Senju widened his eyes and breathed rapidly, feeling as though he could no longer breathe.

Big Brother!

Tell me! Is Madara the only one in your heart now? Have you already forgotten me, your younger brother?

You can't handle administrative matters, but don't you still have me? I can assist you! Just like I did in the Senju Clan before. Can't you continue being a hands-off shopkeeper?

I guarantee I'll manage the village in perfect order. Even if they're those naturally evil Uchiha, I have plenty of ways to deal with them!

"Big Brother... I... I can assist you!" Tobirama Senju could only hurriedly say.

"I know, Tobirama, but..."

"If Madara becomes the Leader, you can assist Madara too."

Hashirama Senju said this without paying any attention to Tobirama Senju's increasingly ugly expression.

"Me? Tobirama Senju, assisting the naturally evil Uchiha Madara?"

Tobirama Senju hadn't expected his Big Brother to say something like that. He couldn't help repeating his catchphrase... naturally evil.

I'm the second-in-command of the mighty Senju Clan, yet you want me to assist Uchiha Madara, Big Brother?

Are you kidding me?

And Big Brother, have you forgotten something very important? I personally killed Uchiha Madara's younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, with the Flying Thunder God Technique. If Uchiha Madara and I are alone in the same room, what if he remembers his younger brother one day? Wouldn't I be in danger?

"Hey, Tobirama, why are you saying that again? Naturally evil..."

"Don't say things that are detrimental to unity!"

Hashirama Senju hurriedly corrected what Tobirama Senju had just said.

The Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan had already made peace. How could they still use words like "naturally evil" to describe the Uchiha? If the Uchiha Clan heard that, it would have a bad impact. And he was talking about his most beloved Madara.

You little brother, I'm very pleased that you're willing to treat the Uchiha Clan as comrades, but you still hold prejudice against them in your heart. That makes Big Brother unhappy!

This attitude is no good!

It must change!

"I know, I know!"

Tobirama Senju was truly helpless.

I'm seriously discussing an important matter concerning the village's future with Big Brother, but Big Brother is still hung up on these trivial details. Aren't the Uchiha's Sharingan evil too?

And most importantly, they refused to follow orders!

Isn't my recommendation that Uchiha Madara become the Leader obvious enough, Big Brother? I want you to be the village's Leader! Do I have to say it outright before you'll understand?

"Big Brother, my attitude is very clear. I believe Uchiha Madara is less suited to become the village's Leader than you are."

"Not only me—even the entire Senju Clan thinks so."

To keep his troublesome Big Brother from stirring up more trouble, Tobirama Senju could only state his position plainly.
