"Why did you save me?"
Uchiha Tajima, being taken away by the Senju clan and on his way back to the Senju clan, looked at Senju Tobirama beside him with some curiosity. He once sent shinobi from his clan to attack Hashirama and Tobirama's younger brother. He wanted to kill the other party's young genius who had not yet grown up. With such hatred and the fact that Uchiha Tajima would never surrender to them, it would be easier for them to just kill him with one blow. Perhaps we can get more information from his corpse than from his mouth.
"In this world, do you need a reason to kill someone? Do you need a reason to save someone?"
Hearing Senju Tobirama's answer, Uchiha Tajima laughed. "Hahaha, this is really interesting. This guy, Tobirama Senju, is really interesting. You're right, this kind of thing doesn't need a reason. But, since you saved me, aren't you afraid of your father?"
Senju Tobirama shrank his neck. He remembered again the slap his father gave to Hashirama Senju when he was a child. Probably can help me to block it. That's right, he can definitely stop it!
When they returned to the clan, the wounded were treated by the iryō-nin (medical-nin) within the clan. The clan patriarch, Senju Butsuma, was getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more his hands started to itch. 'Senju Tobirama, this rebellious son... Your big brother when he was young was so stubborn that he even did things like reminding Uchiha Madara to run away! Now, you, whom I have always had high hopes for, have also learned your elder brother's tricks?' Hmph.
Senju Butsuma angrily walked out, pushing away the clansman who was trying to help him treat his nearly healed wound. "Master Patriarch!"
When seeing Senju Butsuma, many clansmen had a hint of reverence in their eyes. Although the losses in this battle with the Uchiha clan were heavy, the opposing Uchiha finally fled in embarrassment. Even a patriarch of the Uchiha clan was captured. This has never happened in the history of the war between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan. Moreover, all the clan members were shocked by the amazing strength that Hashirama Senju, the clan leader's eldest son, displayed in the battle. It is truly remarkable that the clan leader can raise such terrifying offspring.
Senju Butsuma, who had been angry earlier, couldn't help but feel a bit of happiness after sensing the admiration from his clansmen. Finally, under his leadership, this chaotic era will become clearer. The Senju clan, under his leadership, achieved a great victory in the battle against the Uchiha clan. This is an achievement that no one can erase. Thinking of this, he seemed to be able to tolerate his second son, Tobirama Senju, trying to stop him from killing his old rival at the critical moment. Originally, he wanted to teach that little bastard Tobirama a lesson so that he wouldn't learn from his big brother's soft-heartedness in battle in the future. But at this moment, Butsuma changed his route and went to where the captive Uchiha Tajima was.
"Uchiha Tajima, I never thought that you would have such a day."
Senju Butsuma looked at his old rival, who had now become his prisoner, and a strange and comfortable feeling flowed in his heart. It seems as if catching this guy would be more pleasurable than killing him directly!
"Humph, if your son hadn't taken action, you and I would have been dead by now. What are you so proud of?"
Uchiha Tajima couldn't help feeling annoyed when seeing his old rival showing off in front of him. This is terrible. Can you please get this guy away from me? "Senju Butsuma, you should just stay in bed and continue to rest. You are old now, and you are no longer the same as you were when you were young!"
"Hmph."
A pale look appeared on the faces of the two old men at the same time. And Senju Butsuma felt even happier when he saw Uchiha Tajima's embarrassed look. "Don't worry, Uchiha Tajima, I'm in good health. Not only am I in good health, but I will also have the iryō-nin (medical-nin) in our clan heal you as well. Then, do you think your son will submit to the Senju clan because of their old father?"
Uchiha Tajima's face was a little uncertain. What will Madara and Izuna do? From the perspective of the clan leader, he naturally did not want them to be forced to lead the Uchiha clan to bow to the Senju because of him. However, as a father, he knows what kind of person his child is. Don't underestimate these two brothers, they have a fierce reputation in the shinobi world. But in fact, they are all very loving children. Whether it is Madara or Izuna, it is because their hearts are full of love for their clansmen and themselves that they will fiercely fight off all enemies in order to protect their families and clansmen.
"Yes, my eldest son is better than your eldest son. My second son saved me and you and made you a prisoner. What do you think I have to be proud of?" Oh, that's so annoying. I should have known that this annoying fly would always show off in front of me. He should have been more decisive at that time after he discovered that the weapons between himself and Senju Butsuma were deflected by Senju Tobirama. He should have endured the pain and let the sharp blade of Senju Butsuma that failed to penetrate his vital points twist around in his stomach. If I just died like that, there wouldn't be so much trouble. That annoying old guy, Senju Butsuma, will never have the chance to be so proud in front of him again!
...
"Brother, brother!"
Among the Uchiha clan, the defeated members looked very depressed. Even Uchiha Madara felt a little listless. The heavy blow of losing his father has left him still recovering. Even Hashirama's sudden burst of powerful strength had never made him feel so uncomfortable. Because he believed in himself, he was Uchiha Madara, the only person in this shinobi world who could be the enemy of Madara.
"Good news, good news!"
Just at this moment, Izuna came running over in a hurry. Tears of excitement flowed from his Sharingan . This gave Uchiha Madara a strange glimmer of hope. What other good news could Izuna bring at a time like this?
"Brother, Father is not dead!"
"Really?"
Uchiha Madara stood up and looked at his younger brother Izuna in disbelief. "That's right, Father is not dead. At that time, when he was determined to die and wanted to die together with Senju Butsuma, it was that guy Senju Tobirama. He used two stones to deflect the weapons of both of them so that neither of them hit the vital points. My father is still alive, but he was captured by the Senju clan."
Uchiha Madara was in a trance for a while. After hearing the good news brought by his younger brother, the heaviness and pain in his heart were alleviated a lot. Senju Tobirama. The younger brother of Hashirama, whom he only remembered a little because he felt he had protected his younger brother well. Did he save two more fathers?
