"You beast!"
"You beast!!"
" Uchiha Nan, how dare you distort the truth in front of me!!"
Tobirama Senju, who was listening nearby, was immediately filled with indignation and stood up to loudly refute Uchiha Nan's words.
That damned Uchiha Nan!
They're really skilled at downplaying the seriousness of their actions and embellishing their own image!
Brother, you absolutely mustn't listen to his slander!
"Well"
Uchiha Nan didn't defend himself, but just gave Hashirama Senju a helpless, bitter smile. This "punching bag" look made Hashirama Senju feel even more embarrassed.
What could Uchiha Nan have done wrong? He was only doing it for Konoha.
"Sigh Uchiha Nan, you've really suffered these past years."
" Tobirama's personality... well, he's always been like this. For my sake, please don't take it to heart."
Hashirama Senju was filled with remorse, his mind racing as he tried to figure out how to Tobirama for his brother Tobirama, how to apologize to Uchiha Nan, and how to gain his forgiveness.
How about I kowtow to Uchiha Nan myself?
It's not impossible.
no
That's not enough!
Tobirama should personally apologize to Uchiha Nan, and then Tobirama himself should kowtow to Uchiha Nan. That should be enough to gain Uchiha Nan's forgiveness.
After making up his mind, Hashirama Senju walked straight to Tobirama Senju's side and said to Tobirama Senju, " Tobirama, why don't you apologize to Uchiha Nan?"
"I'll plead for you again, and then Uchiha Nan will forgive you!"
Tobirama Senju's eyes widened in disbelief.
Are you sure you're my older brother?
Brother, you've been in the Pure Land for too long, and you've turned into an idiot!
Should I apologize to Uchiha Nan?
Is there any justice left? Is there no law left?
I've been treated like a slave by Uchiha Nan, using hundreds of Shadow Clone every day to serve him 24/7. And now, because of Uchiha Nan, I'm going to be tortured and abused by Izuna Uchiha!
You expect me to apologize to Uchiha Nan?
The fact that I didn't kill him with the Flying Thunder God Slash is already showing that I'm considering the bigger picture!
"Impossible!!"
"Brother, you're an idiot!!"
" Uchiha Nan is a heartless bastard. He fooled you with just a few words?"
"I'm your own brother, how can you believe me and not me?"
Tobirama Senju cursed furiously, thinking that his older brother was still the same as before—so naive, so ridiculous, and so easily deceived by the Uchiha. He was truly incorrigible!
You idiot older brother, instead of helping your own brother, you're siding with Uchiha Nan!!
Can you please sit facing the right direction?!
"Sigh, First Hokage, let it go. That's just the Second Hokage's personality. I'm used to it. All of this is for Konoha. My personal grievances are insignificant."
"Besides, First Hokage, I'm already very grateful for your kind intentions. There's no need to force the Second Hokage like this... sigh."
Uchiha Nan glanced at Tobirama Senju, who was in a vulnerable state, suppressed the smile that wanted to appear on his lips, and then spoke in a low voice, adding fuel to the fire.
The Senju Demon, born evil!
They actually wanted to accuse me of being a troublemaker!
Did you know that the Uchiha received a special buff from Hashirama Senju?
" Tobirama, haven't you realized your mistake yet? Uchiha Nan has already lowered his stance so much, yet you're still being so aggressive. I'm truly disappointed in you!"
Looking Hashirama Senju the "wise and righteous" Uchiha Nan, Uchiha Nan felt even more sorry for him and continued to criticize Tobirama Senju.
For Konoha!
Uchiha Nan sacrificed so much?
Can't we even get fair treatment?
What happened to my own brother?
I, Hashirama Senju, am not one to protect my own!
Today, I must personally seek justice for Uchiha Nan!!
"Big brother, shut up! You're an idiot. You were like this back then. If you hadn't been so soft-hearted and set so many traps for me, I wouldn't be in this state today. And you were soft-hearted with Madara Uchiha back then too."
Tobirama Senju started bringing up old grievances against Hashirama Senju, claiming that his older brother had been an idiot and that he had cleaned up his messes for so long, from the founding of Konoha to the First Shinobi World War. He even lost his life and was captured by Uchiha Nan, who then Impure World Reincarnation him using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
I'm already suffering so much.
Now my older brother is even helping Uchiha Nan to criticize me, it's simply outrageous!
"Enough, Tobirama!"
You're really getting more and more stubborn!
Hashirama Senju looked at his "stubborn" younger brother, who was still spouting nonsense. "What's wrong with my Madara? Sigh... Madara... Madara."
Hashirama Senju was deeply disappointed, but also a little angry at Tobirama Senju. If Tobirama Senju continued to be so stubborn, he would have to resort to family discipline.
only.
Disciplining my younger brother and enforcing family rules in front of so many people, wouldn't that be too hurtful to him?
Sigh. When will Tobirama?
Only then can I have some peace of mind.
" First Lord, it's alright, it's alright."
I'm not going to hold it against you anymore.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Uchiha Nan quickly stepped forward. He knew that stirring up trouble required careful consideration; he couldn't afford to mess things up.
after
They still need to rely on Tobirama Senju to work like a slave for them!
then
Uchiha Nan skillfully acted as a peacemaker.
" Uchiha Nan, stop pretending to be a good person here. You're a complete and utter scoundrel. One day, everyone in Konoha will see your true colors!"
Tobirama Senju, still furious, his face ashen, pointed at Uchiha Nan and spoke viciously.
" Tobirama, if you keep doing that, I'm going to..."
Hashirama Senju wanted to continue speaking up for Uchiha Nan, but Uchiha Nan pulled him away.
Good boy. First.
I know you're stupid.
If you attack Tobirama Senju again, Tobirama Senju might actually attack me.
" Izuna Uchiha, say something!"
"You know Uchiha Nan's true colors, right? He's been exploiting you all along. Help me expose him!"
Tobirama Senju desperation, resorted to desperate measures, even turning to Izuna Uchiha, who was watching the scene unfold, for help.
" Hashirama, Hashirama, it's true. Just as you guessed, Tobirama Senju is a black man at heart, constantly ostracizing Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan, who is a good person."
Izuna Uchiha gave Tobirama Senju a contemptuous smile, then told Hashirama Senju the "truth."
Tobirama, I'm sorry.
Although Uchiha Nan is indeed a heartless bastard, Uchiha help Uchiha!
and
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Uchiha Nan Hashirama Senju attended the wedding and then returned to his Pure Land to rest in peace, while I'm still under Uchiha Nan's clutches and will have to continue relying on him.
at last.
Tobirama Senju, this is pure retribution. All that targeting the Uchiha in the past has now led to Uchiha Nan Uchiha coming after you. It's truly a fitting end for your actions!
Uchiha Nan gave Izuna Uchiha a satisfied smile. " Uchiha, help! Uchiha, senpai, I understand. Since you're being so respectable, next month, Tobirama Senju tortures you, I... I definitely won't be secretly laughing!"
Hashirama Senju hearing Izuna Uchiha's "proof," Hashirama Senju became even more dissatisfied with Tobirama Senju.
My own brother is really getting worse with age. Just because of my prejudice against the Uchiha, he can't even distinguish right from wrong anymore. If only I had known, I would have made Madara the Second Hokage of Konoha back then.
"Look!"
" Tobirama, what excuses do you have left? Even Izuna Uchiha has said so. It's just a matter of you bowing your head and admitting your mistake to Uchiha Nan. Is that so difficult for you?"
"Big brother, can we trust what Izuna Uchiha says? He's also Uchiha, and he's in cahoots with Uchiha Nan. All he does is bully and exploit me."
" Uchiha, Uchiha, you're prejudiced against the Uchiha. How many times have I said it? The feud between the Uchiha and Senju Clan is over. The Uchiha are allies of the Senju Clan."
Hashirama Senju was still trying to persuade his "unreasonable" younger brother to change his ways.
only.
Tobirama Senju showed no sign of turning back; on the contrary, he became even more arrogant.
I regret it so much... I regret it so much...
Tobirama Senju was already beginning to regret his actions.
He knew perfectly well that his older brother was an idiot, yet he still believed that his brother could distinguish right from wrong, see through Uchiha Nan's mask, and uphold justice for him. Given the current situation...
Uchiha Nan, this naturally evil Uchiha brat, managed to trick his older brother into using Wood Release on his own younger brother.
This is absolutely outrageous!!
"Big brother, shut up right now!"
"I'll let it slide since you're my older brother."
Tobirama Senju no longer wanted to argue with Hashirama Senju; it was all a waste of energy.
Tobirama, your current attitude is truly beyond redemption.
"Alright, First, let's leave it at that. I've already argued with the Second, so there's no need for you to get so worked up."
" Uchiha Nan, you're so magnanimous. Tobirama really is..."
Tobirama Senju glanced at Hashirama Senju, wanting to say something, but chose to remain silent. This was his older brother, even if he was an idiot, he was still his older brother, so he shouldn't lower himself to his level... He was an idiot.
" Uchiha Nan, I almost forgot to ask, what exactly is the reason you summoned me from the Pure Land this time?"
Hashirama Senju then realized the problem: since Konoha was thriving and there were no major problems, why would they suddenly summon him from the Pure Land?
"Oh, it's great news to inform the First."
Your granddaughter Tsunade is getting married.
" Tsunade is getting married?"
"Time flies! In the blink of an eye, Tsunade is getting married!"
Hashirama Senju couldn't help but sigh. Time flies; Tsunade has grown up and is now getting married. It's truly wonderful news! But what about the family background of the man Tsunade is marrying? Will he ruin his family fortune because of Tsunade?
" Uchiha Nan, who is Tsunade going to marry? What's her family situation like? Cough cough cough. She's my eldest granddaughter, so I spoil her rotten, and she's even picked up my gambling habit."
Hashirama Senju immediately began to inquire about the situation.
"Hmm, First Hokage. Actually, the person Tsunade is going to marry is me. As for her gambling addiction, don't worry, it won't affect me at all."
Uchiha Nan said this.
He wasn't worried at all about Tsunade's gambling addiction; he had already made arrangements with all the casinos near Konoha, and he didn't care about casinos further away from Konoha.
Anyway, Tsunade always gambles with cash Tsunade goes to the casino, and she loses money from her own savings. Even if the casino lends her a lot of money at high interest rates, leaving Tsunade with a mountain of debt, Uchiha Nan isn't afraid!
When the creditors come knocking on the door demanding payment, I'll just send my Anbu ninjas to the casino to settle their debts. After all, debts are settled when the person dies.
Fortunately, Konoha's finances can still generate revenue.
In the Ninja world, every single one of those who run casinos is involved in organized crime, their hands are filthy, you could say there isn't a single good person among them. As for me, even if I killed countless of them, Uchiha Nan wouldn't care.
" Tsunade wants to marry you?"
"Yes."
"That's not bad, as long as Tsunade is willing."
Hashirama Senju chuckled happily.
He didn't have any of those complicated family relationships, marriage alliances, or power struggles in his mind. As long as his eldest granddaughter Tsunade was willing, nothing else mattered.
"Then let's hurry up and go. I haven't seen Tsunade, Mito, and Toma in so long. I wonder how they've been doing all these years."
As Hashirama Senju was speaking, he couldn't wait to leave the underground laboratory and head to the Senju Clan Land, but Uchiha Nan stopped Hashirama Senju.
" First Lord, you can't go out looking like this. Don't forget, you've been dead for a long time. The barrier between life and death cannot be easily broken, not even when you're going to see your family."
"That's true."
Hashirama Senju nodded; he had almost forgotten about it in his excitement.
He also believed that the dead should not appear in the world to interfere with the lives of the living, otherwise everything would fall into chaos.
"What should we do then?"
"Use the Transformation Technique. Just a glimpse from afar. Even if we can't recognize each other, knowing they're living well is enough."
Uchiha Nan tried to dissuade them, not wanting Mito Uzumaki Toma Senju to know about Hashirama Senju's existence. After all, if Hashirama could be Impure World Reincarnation by Uchiha Nan using Edo Hashirama Senju, then with a little thought, Tobirama Senju could certainly be resurrected as well.
Keep thinking about it
Uchiha Nan's identity as the head of the Konoha Science and Technology Department can no longer be hidden, which is not something he wants to see.
"No problem!"
"I agree!"
Although Hashirama Senju felt somewhat regretful, he still agreed to Uchiha Nan's request.
