Chapter 438 Shou Zhongxing: Why is this person still haunting us?

"Hey, Tobirama, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so upset?"

Tobirama was stunned, looked up at the clan member who was slightly older than him, and shook his head, "I'm fine, it's just that it's the first time for Itama to go to the battlefield, I'm a little uneasy... I will adjust myself, Makoto-kun don't have to worry about me too much."

Senju Makoto sighed inwardly, raised his hand and patted Tobirama's shoulder, "Itama is a smart kid, nothing will happen to him."

Tobirama took a few deep breaths and repeated to someone he didn't know who was listening, "Yes, I will..."

However, even though the parties involved have stated that they are fine, Senju Makoto still cannot help but sigh inwardly - their generation was already early enough to go to the battlefield, but they didn't expect that the children after them would go to the battlefield earlier and earlier every year.

"All alert!"

Hearing his companion's voice, Qianshou Cheng immediately withdrew his thoughts and looked around, "Zhongxing, what did you find?"

“It’s not clear yet…” Qianshou Zhongxing narrowed his eyes and stared at the bushes where he had just noticed the movement. He raised his hand and threw a shuriken at them, “Come out, don’t force me to kill you.”

"Wait! Wait! We are the same people! We are the same people!"

As a somewhat panicked voice sounded, a short boy who could hardly be called a teenager ran out of the bushes holding the shuriken and said with a dry laugh, "He's one of us."

"Itama?" Tobirama immediately recognized his brother's distinct hair color, which was rare in the entire family. "Why are you here? Isn't your mission area in--?"

Banjian seemed to have no strength left. He slumped on the ground, looking extremely exhausted. "Don't mention it. My legs are almost broken from running. Fortunately, the person I met in the end was my own. Second brother, you don't even know what I have done..."

"Itama," Tobirama stopped Senju Makoto who wanted to go forward to help him up. His crimson eyes stared at Itama who was slumped on the ground without blinking, and raised his hand, "Come here."

"Brother, can't you just indulge me for once? I'm so tired now."

Senju Makoto clearly felt that when Itama said this, Tobirama pulled his hand harder, but this was not reflected in Tobirama's facial expression. The delicate-looking and naturally intelligent child of their clan leader's family did not even change his tone, "Itama, don't make me repeat it a second time."

"Yes, yes, I'll come right away - Second brother, why can't you accommodate me for once like you accommodated my eldest brother?"

Seeing Banjian mumbling as he got up from the ground, the Senju didn't think there was anything wrong. Everyone in the clan knew that the eldest son of the clan leader was unreliable in every aspect except for his talent, the second son had never been faulted since he was a child, the third son was honest and steady but too mediocre, and the youngest son was a bit eccentric.

However, when Itama walked up to Tobirama, Tobirama's first action was not to pay attention to his injuries. Instead, he quickly and mercilessly twisted Itama's arm and pressed him to the ground.

"It hurts, it hurts—Brother, what are you doing? It's really me!"

"Really, Tobirama-chan," Senju Ming walked over with a look of pity after hearing the creaking sound of Itama's bones, "This is obviously not a transformation technique, and his personality is still Itama-chan's personality, there's no need to be so vigilant, right?"

Tobirama looked at Itama's eyes that were already filled with tears, and increased the strength of his hands again, "...Not Itama. Although Itama is erratic and always likes to imitate his elder brother to cause trouble, he never talks back to me, let alone acts like a spoiled child with me at a time like this - who are you, and what did you do to my brother?"

"Brother, what are you talking about? It's really me—" The moment he met Tobirama's eyes, Itachima's words of explanation were suddenly choked. Although he didn't have much expression, the worry and sadness were conveyed to him without a single mistake, "It's really... me?"

As his words became stagnant, the red light covering his dark green pupils became more luxuriant. The moment he noticed the magnificent pattern, Tobirama suddenly closed his eyes, and Senju Ming on the side quickly reached out and covered Itama's eyes, "Beware! Itama has the eye technique left by the Mangekyō Uchiha!"

In an instant, the atmosphere of the team changed. Several people lowered their eyes, protecting Tobirama and Itama in the middle, and were alert to any movement around them.

After this atmosphere lasted for a while, the gentle voice of a young man finally came from the treetops not far away, "See, I said it must be that kid Tobirama who discovered something was wrong first, right?"

"Tsk... Master, you must be plotting against me again."

"You have to accept the loss if you are willing to bet. I didn't force you to bet with me. Anyway, Xiaoguang, you lost the bet. From now on, you must accept battlefield missions with me and don't make trouble, okay?"

"Tsk, just one fight, if there are more I will take advantage of the chaos to escape."

"Eh? Please be a little more considerate of the master. I haven't had a proper fight in a long time..."

As the voice became clearer, Senju and his party also saw the Uchiha team clearly. When Senju Shigeki saw the young man in the lead, his face darkened almost immediately, "I have worshipped the gods and Buddhas so many times, why are you still haunting me, blind man?"

"That's really too much. I'm not dead. How can the gods and Buddhas dispel the ghosts? Even if you curse me, you have to distinguish the types, right?" Ling sighed, and turned around with a little pity on his face, leaning on his cane and sword. "After so many years, Chongxing, you haven't put any effort in the right place at all."

“Don’t bully my brother!” Qian Shou Ming covered Ban Jian’s eyes with a strip of cloth torn from his sleeves. His short and petite body gave off an aura of at least two meters eighty. “Don’t think we’re afraid of you just because you’re a kaleidoscope! It’s just an ability that targets the soul! It’s useless if you can’t hit it! I haven’t even settled the score with you for your sudden seizure at the end of the year!”

"I was really chasing a guy at that time..." Ling sighed again, then raised his hand to pat Uchiha Guang's head, and a meaningful smile spread across the corner of his mouth, "Besides, it's not my turn to be your opponent this time."
