Chapter 326: The Conspicuous Bag of the Shou Family

"Are you asking me this question seriously?" Uchiha Huohe stopped sharpening his ninja sword, raised his head, and looked at Madara in surprise, "Are you not aware of how your peers evaluate you behind your back?"

Madara stood aside with his arms folded, looking serious, not joking, "Well, after all, since I went on the mission, you are the only one who dares to talk back to me in person."

"Wow... you're just terrible." Uchiha Huohe sighed and started counting on his fingers, "Then listen carefully, I'll only say this once - you're dictatorial, unkind, have scary eyes, don't listen to people, swear too dirty and too ugly, and don't give people the chance to practice during missions..."

The more Ban listened, the darker his face became. He gritted his teeth secretly - Very good, you two can play like this, right? Wait until next year, you think there is no chance, right? I will give you more next year!

"Well, there are many people praising you, such as your great strength, your kind-hearted victim, your virtuous character, your hardworking and motivated character, your handsome and charming appearance..."

Madara: ...What a mess!

Looking at Madara's distorted expression, Uchiha Huohe laughed, "Why, you didn't expect that you could be labeled as [kind] and [virtuous], right?"

"I can tolerate your kindness... After all, I always run into you guys when I buy groceries." Veins popped out on Ban's forehead. "What's wrong with being a kindhearted victim?"

"Oh, that, it seems that Kazuhiko saw you throwing your mission money away to beggars and vagrants more than once, and complained to me about it. I thought it was a good thing, so I promoted you a little bit... Hey, hey, hey - what are you doing? Let me go! A gentleman talks, not fights!"

"Hehe, nothing, just to thank you I plan to spar with you..." Madara grabbed Uchiha Huohe's shoulders and said with a fake smile, even greeting the other party's parents, and picked up the half-sharpened knife of the other party, "Don't worry, I will never kill you."

Uchiha Huohe, who was unable to struggle free, looked pale: ...Alas, my life is over.

While the Uchiha were busily preparing for the New Year and happily watching their young clan leader and his peers [enhancing friendship], their old rival, the young clan leader of the Senju family, was also doing something that would attract onlookers, but this onlooker - well, was the kind of onlooker that was conspicuous.

"Tobirama - you can't abandon brother! You are the only one who can help brother! Wuwuwu -"

"Idiot brother! Let me go!" Tobirama's face turned red with anger, but he couldn't shake off Hashirama who was like a dog-skin plaster. "Even with Itama's innocence, he can't say such ridiculous things! Are you worse than a seven-year-old child?!"

"But doesn't Tobirama want to go?" Hashirama clung to his brother tightly, his eyes extremely pitiful, "The fireworks party over at the Uchiha is so beautiful, and now it's the end of the year, we just need to disguise ourselves, and those Uchiha will turn a blind eye! Let's go there on time and come back after watching it, okay-"

"I don't want to go! Brother, stop being unreasonable with me! Let me go!"

"I'm not the only one who wants to go!" Hashirama raised his hand and pointed at his other two brothers who were looking over here curiously, "Wayama and Itama want to go too!"

Tobirama's crimson eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked dangerously at the two people who were shocked by being suddenly named, and his voice was full of gritted teeth, "...You want to go too?"

The two of them immediately shook their heads like rattles, backed away quickly, and disappeared around the corner.

But Hashirama still didn't give up, and continued to cling to Tobirama - if he didn't want to be scolded and wanted to go to the Uchiha to watch the fun, he could only ask for help from his smart brother - and his brother was very soft-hearted towards him! As long as he kept nagging for a while, he would definitely compromise!

What? As a brother, this is too embarrassing?

It's okay, it's okay. Compared to the spectacular view that you can only see once a year, it's okay to lose face. It's not worth anything anyway, and...

Hashirama carefully observed his brother's expression, pouted implicitly, but cried even more pitifully - [You said you didn't want to go, but you were obviously very moved. Alas, this is the unlovable thing about Tobirama. He refuses to say what he wants.

Forget it, let me, as the elder brother, bear more responsibility. After all, I am the elder brother... Hiss, is Tobirama's grip getting stronger again? It hurts my scalp. 】

On the other side, the departing Watama and Itama also had their own conversation. It was Itama with black and white hair who spoke first. He patted his chest, looking like he had survived a disaster. "Tobirama-san's eyes are getting more and more scary. How dare he hold onto Tobirama-san's thighs every time?"

He really has a clear sense of black and white, I kid you not - he even has his fur frizzed out and smoothed out at the same time!

To prevent you from forgetting, I will put it again. You should have a scar on your face by now.

Hearing this, Wataru's face twitched, "He just relied on the fact that Tobirama couldn't beat him... But big brother is really amazing, how could he be so shameless as to cry and beg in front of his younger brother? He usually blackmails Tobirama to do this and that for him... and he always succeeds, Tobirama is just too soft on him."

"Yeah, yeah, Tobirama-nii really dotes on me—" Itama put his hands behind his head and stretched out his voice, "But I also want to go—the Uchiha New Year's fireworks festival, last year I just looked at it from afar in the clan and it felt so beautiful! If I were to see it up close, I can't imagine how stunning the scenery would be!"

"Do you want to make Tobirama mad with big brother?" Kama raised his palm knife and chopped it on his brother's head. "If you want to watch it, then go to the Nanga River with your clan members and find a spot. Don't follow big brother's lead and dream of going to the Uchiha clan to watch the fireworks."

Itama groaned and raised his hand to rub the top of his head which didn't hurt that much. "By the way, how about we go fishing together at Nanga River later? I found a great one a while ago--"

Watama sighed immediately, and chopped his brother's head with his palm knife again. After hearing his cry of pain, he smiled and spoke gently, "Itama, you know, I want to be a good brother if the situation allows, so don't force me to treat you well like Tobirama treats my big brother, okay?"

Itama covered his head, opened and closed his mouth, but he didn't dare to talk back to his brother who smiled [kindly], and lowered his head obediently, "...Oh, then, brother, come with me to practice throwing."

Wajian reached out and rubbed the top of his brother's head, smiling gently and dotingly, "Yeah, okay."

Fanart of the four Senju brothers. In the original work, the fourth brother's eyes are actually dark green with a brown tint. Moreover, the third and fourth brothers have the opposite personalities. The third brother is calm and the fourth brother is naughty.
