Chapter 146 Departure

To be honest, Tobirama was really worried that his elder brother would die on the battlefield because of his overly eccentric personality.

But he also knew that his eldest brother's talent was praised by all the elders in the clan. Many elders even said that his eldest brother might reawaken the bloodline limit of their Senju lineage that had been dormant for decades, and might suppress the Uchiha clan in one fell swoop.

Out of curiosity, Tobirama went to check the family records, but he couldn't find any information about the Senju clan's bloodline limit. It was only after asking his father, Senju Butsuma, that he learned the detailed information of this bloodline limit. After the previous inheritor of Wood Release stipulated, it was only passed down between successive clan leaders and elders using sealing techniques, and there was no paper record.

If you want to change the way of inheritance, you have to wait until the next generation with a bloodline limit appears and make the changes.

Tobirama was very confused by this - after all, as the saying goes, the more you understand something, the more likely you are to master it, right?

But Senju Butsuma did not give any explanation, but just asked Tobirama meaningfully to think carefully about the title of their clan.

But this only made Tobirama more and more confused. He knew that their Senju had always been given the title of Forest Senju in the ninja world, but he really couldn't think of what kind of bloodline limit of Forest Release - or Forest Release, Wood Release - should have to be so powerful that it would be unanimously praised by his father and the clan leader.

and……

Tobirama glanced at Hashirama, who was rummaging around for supplies and kept calling for his help, and couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his face - but don't tell him that being off-line is a necessary quality for awakening Forest Release!

Just as Tobirama resigned himself to his fate and began to help Hashirama search for supplies, another childish voice sounded, "Brother, my father told me to tell you to hurry up and go to the gathering - wow, it's so chaotic, we're almost leaving, what are you looking for, brother?"

Senju Wajian, at this time he hadn't been to the battlefield yet, so he probably didn't have that scar

Tobirama looked up at the kid with light brown hair and black eyes and sat up straight, "He couldn't find the regular supplies he had prepared."

The brown-haired kid tiptoed in carefully and stood next to Tobirama, "Hmm? Big brother actually prepared something like that by himself? And why are you still looking for something right before leaving?"

"Wow, Wajian, please help your brother find it!" Hashirama started crying again, "I swear I prepared everything last night, but I couldn't find it when I woke up today!"

Tobirama sighed, stood up and walked out, "I have an extra one, you can use mine first."

"Tobirama, brother loves you! Wuwuwu——!"

Wajian watched his eldest brother frantically putting on protective gear, and after successfully destroying his second brother's room, he hurriedly left. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times, "So, Tobirama-san, don't spoil my eldest brother too much..."

Tobirama raised his hands and rubbed his face, "I think so... The problem is that this guy has already developed a habit."

Watama squatted down to help Tobirama pack his things, "Is Tobirama-san going to start his mission too?"

"Well, after the tribe's main forces leave in batches, I will go to the mission department to select tasks," Tobirama sorted the items scattered on the ground one by one, "but you, you must not slack off in the near future."

"Hmm?" Wajian raised his head, looking a little confused, "Why?"

"During wartime, it is not uncommon to select young ninjas in large numbers to do missions. Wasn't my eldest brother allowed to graduate from the clan school early in the battle with the Uchiha two years ago?"

There was only worry in Tobirama's crimson eyes, "Although I didn't keep up with the schedule, I still learned everything I needed to learn, and I can barely be considered to be starting a ninja at a normal pace.

But you, Wajian, learned things very quickly in the clan school before, and you are even not inferior to some people older than you. However, age is a big restriction for ninjas, and there are only a very small number of geniuses who can kill adults when they are children.

You know your father's style of doing things. If the time comes, he will definitely let you graduate first, so as to push other members of the tribe to allow their children to graduate early. I am really worried about you."

Wataru was slightly stunned, but soon smiled, walked over and patted his brother's shoulder, "Don't worry, Tobirama-san, don't be afraid even if something like that happens. Just like what big brother said, it's okay to run away if you can't fight. Instead, Tobirama-san, you should pay more attention to yourself."

Tobirama sighed again, "That's totally impossible. There are too many things to worry about... Especially my eldest brother. Why would God give such a good talent to a guy who can only cause trouble..."

Wajian spoke almost subconsciously, "Maybe you don't want him to get killed too soon so you feel pity for him?"

Tobirama: ...I can’t refute that.

While the two brothers were quietly cleaning up the mess, Hashirama had already stared at his father's beating eyes and forcibly mixed into the expedition team, then heaved a long sigh of relief, "We caught up, we caught up..."

"You're always in a panic," said a fellow boy who was also wearing protective gear. "Are you asking your brother for help again?"

"Ah, Koichi," Hashirama raised his hand and touched the back of his neck, smiling awkwardly, "I did ask Tobirama for a favor."

"Your brother is really hard-working. He even has to take care of you, a weird older brother, while preparing for his own mission." Senju Hiroshi crossed his arms with a cold expression, "If it weren't for the age difference, I would believe you were Tobirama's brother."

"Hahaha! To be honest, I feel the same way! When mother was still alive, she always said that Tobirama was more like a brother than me!"

Looking at Hashirama who was grinning and not caring at all, Senju Hiroichi sighed, "You really have nothing to trust except your strength..."

Instead of feeling ashamed, Hashirama raised his chin with pride, "That's a must!"
