After walking out from his father, Senju Butsuma, Tobirama looked a little dazed.
Is it possible that Father Senju Butsuma wanted to do such a big thing?
The main force should be sent to follow behind the eldest brother and attack Uchiha Madara, who may come to stop the eldest brother, as well as the Uchiha clan members who will support Uchiha Madara.
He would no longer give the other party a chance as he did before, when he was by the river with only Tobirama and his two little sons.
But why do I still feel uneasy in my heart?
A feeling that made him very uncomfortable filled his heart.
He returned to the training ground and performed his usual training numbly, as if he wanted to numb his mind in this way.
He would rather not stop his father from doing this.
He believed that Uchiha Tajima, being his father's old rival, would not allow his father to succeed easily.
After thinking about it, Tobirama felt that his current strength was too weak.
If I were strong enough, I could help my father and older brother in case anything unexpected occurred.
Finally, Tobirama found his eldest brother and told him his worries.
The eldest brother, Hashirama, is usually a bit clumsy, but occasionally his intuition is surprisingly sharp.
Especially when it comes to Uchiha Madara, he will show wonderful wisdom at this time.
"Tobirama, I understand what you mean. Are you saying that my action will eventually trigger the decisive battle between us and the Uchiha in advance? Because Uchiha Tajima is likely to guess Father's actions?"
"Yes, I think, as Father's old rival, Uchiha Tajima must be able to guess some of his thoughts."
At that time, both sides will gather directly behind the two big brothers and start a big battle.
That wouldn't be a small-scale battle that could have been avoided if Uchiha Tajima saw that there were a few fewer people on his side and Tobirama persuaded his father, Senju Butsuma.
"Well, then, I won't go..."
That's what Hashirama originally wanted to say.
But when he remembered that he had asked his father to join the battle in order to reduce the casualties of the tribe, his voice gradually became softer.
And even if he doesn't go now, both sides will gradually reach that point due to the accumulation of hatred.
It is inevitable that the war will eventually break out.
Now, what the two brothers can do is to protect as many tribesmen as possible in this war.
"I understand."
The eldest brother was obviously much more mature than before. After realizing that the war was about to break out, he still remained calm.
If the war is going to begin no matter what, he will still fight on as a member of the Senju clan.
To realize my childhood dream.
To protect my younger brother, my relatives, and my tribe.
And to protect more children and to build the village of dreams.
It would be the best thing to not kill Madara and build such a village with him.
But if I had to choose...
There was already a look of determination in Senju Hashirama's eyes.
I believe that Madara will understand my determination.
I believe that he will also fight with all his might for his tribe, his relatives, his younger brother, and our common dream.
"Brother, the only thing we can do is to protect the people around us as much as possible and protect more tribesmen. Of course, if you alone can make the entire Uchiha clan give up resistance... In other words, let both our Senju clan and the Uchiha clan realize that no matter how much we fight, it will be useless. Only a fight between you, Big Brother, and Uchiha Madara can determine the final outcome. Maybe... we won't have to fight anymore."
Hearing Tobirama's words that seemed to imply expectations, Hashirama felt as if he had grasped something and thought of something.
Can one person be so powerful that the entire Uchiha clan gives up resistance?
Or is it that both he and Madara have already surpassed the limits of a family in terms of strength?
"I understand. I'll try my best."
He nodded, as if he had some strange enlightenment. He lowered his head and left, deep in thought.
At night, many members of the Senju clan were saying their final goodbyes to their loved ones.
The decision of the clan leader, Senju Butsuma, had reached the ears of many people.
Perhaps tomorrow, or perhaps the day after tomorrow, the decisive battle is very likely to break out.
Many of them may no longer have the chance to see their families again.
There are still many affectionate couples who seize this last moment to get intimate.
Even my sister-in-law is no exception.
Even though she knew that her husband, Senju Hashirama, was the most outstanding genius in the contemporary ninja world, she still couldn't stop worrying about him.
"Hashirama, you're going to start fighting again tomorrow. Aren't you going to say anything?"
The young couple lay in bed, but Uzumaki Mito felt that the man next to her seemed absent-minded.
This made Mito's voice sound a little more dangerous.
"I'm sorry, Mito. I'm just a little worried."
Hashirama hugged his wife tenderly but did not choose to indulge in the gentleness.
The next day, the eldest brother, Hashirama, got up very early.
With the gentle gaze of his wife, Mito, behind him, he joined the team that was going out to attack the Uchiha today.
And behind this team, the entire family had already made preparations.
However, when the eldest brother followed the family team and fought together, the man who rushed out from the Uchiha clan's team stunned him for a moment.
"Hashira...ma!"
Madara?
Why did Madara show up now?
Clang!
When the two men's weapons collided fiercely, making a clanging sound, the old father followed behind Senju Hashirama—Senju Butsuma.
Uchiha Tajima, the old father who was following behind Uchiha Madara, was stunned.
They looked in the same direction where the other person was hiding.
Damn, this old bastard is thinking the same thing as me again!
Tobirama stood behind his old father, Senju Butsuma, feeling a little amused and helpless, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Sure enough, things finally developed as he had thought.
As two old rivals, even their methods of attacking people are so similar.
"Follow me!"
The old father, Senju Butsuma, waved his hand and led Tobirama behind him, his sons who had grown up a lot, and more clansmen, and jumped forward.
And the same is true for Uchiha Tajima.
This moment is just like that moment.
That year, they opposed each other, standing in front of each other with murderous looks on their faces!
"Hahaha, Senju Butsuma, it looks like we're thinking the same thing again!"
Hearing the teasing from his old rival, Senju Butsuma's eyebrows twitched.
However, after taking a look around him, a smile of victory suddenly appeared on the face of the old father, Senju Butsuma.
"That's right, Uchiha Tajima, but I have more sons than you!"
