"Teacher, I'm counting on you for this trip!"
"Don't worry, Monkey!"
When Tobirama learned how greedy Kumogakure was, his reaction was practically identical to Danzo's.
He wanted to go to Kumogakure himself and let those barbarians taste his Flying Thunder God Slash!
Hashirama was furious too, but he could still understand Kumogakure a little.
Feng Yao had bullied Kumogakure so badly that they wished they could split every coin in two just to cover their living expenses. Hashirama felt a little sorry for them.
"Monkey, isn't this too little money? Why don't we give them a little more? They're so pitiful..."
"Lord First, well..." Hiruzen Sarutobi was dumbfounded and sounded rather troubled.
"Shut up, Big Brother!" Tobirama held his forehead helplessly. He knew his big brother's sympathy was acting up again.
"Oh..." Hashirama looked a little dejected. Another day of being scolded by his younger brother.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was clearly used to it already. He went on to discuss Kumogakure's second condition.

"Besides, every Uchiha's Mangekyo abilities are different. There might well be an ability that controls others without relying on genjutsu. That Yugito could only have been controlled by the Uchiha!"
Tobirama had always been equally hostile toward all Uchiha.
He had also studied
