"Come, let the Third Hokage tell me—which Senju bastard married into the Uchiha Clan?!"
"Having led Konoha for so many years, Lord Third Hokage should know who it was, right?"
Tobirama Senju's expression and tone remained unchanged as he spoke.
Yet Hiruzen Sarutobi could still sense the chill seeping from his teacher's throat through subtle differences.
"Actually, we can look into it."
"To be honest, I really don't know Uchiha Yato's origins. It was as if he appeared out of nowhere."
Tobirama Senju's rationality had cleared up somewhat by now, so he spoke bluntly to Uchiha Yato.
"That mongrel."
The moment Uchiha Yato heard that word, his first thought was to show this guy why flowers were so red!
Then Tobirama Senju seemed to realize something as well. He immediately shut his mouth and changed how he addressed him.
"These are all misunderstandings. So give me some face and put an end to this farce."
Uchiha Yato had already been in a bad mood because of Tobirama Senju's earlier form of address.
So now, Uchiha Yato entered verbal-combat mode, making Tobirama Senju's expression darken further.
"Oh~"
"Then, Lord Second Hokage, please explain why I should listen to you."
"After all, by your logic, I'm a mongrel~"
Though Uchiha Yato had tried his best to soften those two words, he still could not help gritting his teeth.
Uchiha Yato truly had not expected anyone to describe a person that way!
So this bout of verbal combat Uchiha Yato unleashed would not be so easily settled.
Tobirama Senju expressionlessly swept his gaze across the surroundings, then said calmly, "Look at these people around us. Every one of them harbors ill intentions. None of them are of our kind." His voice was calm and cold, as though he felt nothing toward those around
