Chapter 117 Tacit understanding

"Was Madara so outstanding when he was young? He killed an adult of the Senju clan, and his skills were extraordinary... He is worthy of being the reincarnation of Indra."

"This is definitely inseparable from Madara's own efforts. Don't deny his efforts with a simple statement that he is the reincarnation of Indra."

"Why are you still speaking for Uchiha Madara? From your words, I can't sense the hostility that should be felt towards a villain."

"Ah, sorry. I was just so immersed in the plot that I forgot that he would be a disaster for the entire ninja world in the future."

"Then how strong is Hashirama? His father said that Madara was so excellent, but he still believed in his heart that Hashirama could kill Madara. This shows that he is more confident in Hashirama's strength."

Hashirama clenched his fists.

[Wait, is he really a member of the Uchiha clan? ]

Senju Fojian said: [That's right, if you reveal the identity of the Senju clan, he will steal the information of the Senju clan. You can't trust him.]

[No, he won’t…]

Qianshou Buddha said in a serious tone: [It was his people who killed your brother, do you believe him? ]

[No one knows what the boy's intentions are. If you are deceived, you will put the Senju clan in danger. Just in case, Tobirama and I will follow you. Do you understand? ]

Senju Butsuma looked at the silent Hashirama and asked: [What's your answer? ]

Hashirama whispered: [I understand.]

In the ninja world, someone who was caught up in the plot shouted, "Oh no! Madara is in danger!"

The person next to him said speechlessly: "If Madara really died so easily, there would be no crisis in the future of the ninja world."

"Eh? That's right! If he gets into danger, it's not a bad thing for us. Why should I worry about him?"

"I can only say that the Madara on the screen and the future villain of the ninja world look like two completely different people."

"It's true that it's easy for people to like Madara on the screen. Maybe it's because he doesn't have the arrogance of Indra, and he hopes for peace in the ninja world just like Hashirama?"

"When he was little, he hoped for peace in the ninja world and wanted to protect his brother. How come he became like that when he grew up? I am getting more and more curious about Madara's experience."

on screen

Hashirama and Madara stood on either side of the stream.

Ban said with no unusual expression: [Let's get started, let's say hello with the water first.]

After saying that, they both took out the stones they had prepared long ago and threw them towards the other side.

With a "pop" sound, the two men grabbed the stones thrown by each other, and looked at the stones in their hands tacitly.

The two of them were startled at the same time.

Madara waved his hand and said: [Hashirama, I'm sorry we can't play together today. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. ]

[Is... is that so? Then I will go back today. ]

The scene turned to the stone that Hashirama was holding, and two words were clearly engraved on it.

'Run quickly. '

And on the stone in Madara's hand, there were five words engraved.

'There's a trap, run.'

With a "swish" sound, the two of them ran towards the back.

Senju Butsuma, who was hiding behind a tree, said: [So fast! Are you trying to escape? This guy, Hashirama, actually leaked the secret!]

[Let’s go! Tobirama! ]

【Yes! 】

And the other side

As Madara was running back, two figures flashed by with a "swish".

He was startled, stopped suddenly and turned around.

The same thing happened to Hashirama over there.

On the river, four people faced each other.

Uchiha Tajima said: [It seems that we have the same idea, Senju Butsuma. ]

Izuna on the side stared at Tobirama: [And Tobirama. ]

Thousand Hands Buddha said: [Yes, Uchiha Tajima. ]

Tobirama beside him drew out the sword on his back: [And Izuna. ]

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense.

Ninja World

"It turns out that the Uchiha also discovered Madara and Hashirama."

"What a coincidence? The Uchiha clan and the Senju clan actually have the same idea!"

"Hashirama and Madara have such a good chemistry, they both thought of using stones to remind each other to run away."

"Alas, I'm afraid I'll never see Madara and Hashirama interacting with each other on a daily basis again."

"Hashirama should have guessed that Madara was an Uchiha but wasn't sure, and Madara should have had the same guess."

on screen

The four of them rushed towards each other at the same time.

Hashirama and Madara shouted: [Stop! ]

But no one paid any attention to them.

With two "ding ding" sounds, the four people's swords and kunai collided with each other.

on screen

The voice of the future Hashirama was heard.

[Senju Butsuma and Uchiha Tajima are of similar strength. After several battles, both sides understand this. ]

[Ninjas are trained to stay calm no matter what happens on the battlefield.]

[A moment of panic will create a flaw, which will determine life or death. 】

[However, the two adults knew very well that once their children were killed, they would inevitably feel a little shaken.]

[That is to say, the one who succeeds first can decide the outcome. ]

When the future Hashirama told this story, the fighting Uchiha Tajima and Senju Butsuma simultaneously threw their weapons at each other's children.

At this moment, a "ding" sound was heard, and two stones knocked away the weapons flying towards Izuna and Tobirama.

Izuna and Tobirama were startled.

not far away

Hashirama kept throwing stones, and Madara did the same on the other side.

Both of them were covered in cold sweat.

Just now, their brother was almost killed...

"Shh!"

Madara and Hashirama flashed and stood in front of their younger brother.

Madara stared at Hashirama in front of him and said, "I will never forgive anyone who tries to hurt my brother!"

【me too! 】

The two looked at each other.

In this tense atmosphere, Madara spoke again: [Hashirama.]

【how? 】

[Those silly beautiful futures we talked about may not be achievable in the end.]

[Ban...you...]

[Although the time was short, I was really happy, Hashirama. ]

Uchiha Tajima said: [Three on three? ]

He asked again: [How is it, is it OK? Ban?]

Madara said solemnly: [No, Hashirama is stronger than me. If we fight head-on, we will lose.]

Izuna was stunned, and unconsciously lowered the knife in his hand: [A child who is more powerful than his brother? ]

Uchiha Tajima said: [Really? You have such strength. Retreat!]

Madara glanced at Hashirama and said, "Goodbye."

Hashirama looked at Madara's back and said loudly: [Madara! Actually, you haven't given up, right? You have the same idea as me...]

Madara interrupted in a deep voice: [You are from the Thousand Hands! ]

[If possible, I really hope that we have different ideas. My brother was killed by the Senju clan. And your brother died at the hands of the Uchiha clan.]

[So! There is no need for us to be honest with each other! From now on, we will meet on the battlefield! Senju Hashirama! ]

[I am...] At this point, a magatama appeared in Madara's eyes, and he turned back to look at Hashirama and said: [Uchiha Madara!]

In the Pure Land

Izuna looked gloomy.

"I was too young at the time to understand what this meant..."

So, he was in a happy mood at that time.

He was glad that his elder brother had opened those eyes because he had lost something important.
