Chapter 483 Hashirama: ...Ah?

"That's too much!" Hashirama put his hands on Madara's shoulders and shook him vigorously, "I showed you my trump card! Do you know how powerful Sage Mode is?"

"Such a long preparation time is enough for me to kill you ten times," Madara impatiently slapped Hashirama's hand away, secretly biting his teeth to relieve the pain in his shoulder, but his face was still contemptuous, "and my brother said that you absorbed natural energy in a disgusting situation, which cannot be regarded as successfully practicing fairy arts - why are you so proud?"

"So what exactly is this feeling of disgust?" Hashirama folded his hands, looking confused. "I was just able to sense and absorb natural energy very smoothly? Why didn't I succeed?"

"It's the ancient immortal arts and immortal arts. The increase in strength between the two may be similar, but immortal arts will not have the ability to change the world like the ancient immortal arts."

Hashirama turned to Ling, approached him with a cheeky face, and said with a grin, "Brother, can you tell me in detail?"

Ling frowned, but soon relaxed again, "I really still can't like you, Xiaozhurama... So in order for us to coexist peacefully, you'd better not call me with such intimate names, understand?"

"Oh, oh..." Feeling something was wrong, Hashirama silently shrank behind Madara and spoke cautiously, "Then, can I still ask?"

Ling nodded slightly, and explained the difference between ancient immortal arts and immortal arts in more detail. After he finished speaking, his expression paused slightly, and added, "Although both of them can greatly improve strength, you can call me greedy or delusional. Compared with immortal arts, I still hope that I can solve all the hidden dangers and successfully practice ancient immortal arts.

The Living Slug Great Sage of the Wet Bone Forest is the only user of the ancient immortal technique in the ninja world at this time. His birth age can even be traced back to before the birth of the tailed beasts. Before that, the Living Slug Great Sage was just an ordinary slug. The changes brought about by the ancient immortal technique are completely incomparable to immortal techniques. "

"I see. That's why I was wondering why the Living Shrimp Sage kept complaining to me, saying it was a pity for me even though my training was going well—" Hashirama crossed his arms, looking as if he understood something. "So that's why."

Madara turned around and tapped Hashirama's head, his words filled with a hint of disappointment, "You actually missed this opportunity - you are really stupid, aren't you?"

"What does it matter? Brother Ling is not——"

"I said, don't scream so intimately, okay?"

Hashirama looked at the staff sword that quietly appeared at the edge of his vision and pressed against his forehead. His back was instantly soaked with cold sweat. "Uh, well, anyway, I think I'm pretty good this way..."

Ling still had no intention of putting down his staff and sword. Instead, he smiled and pushed Hashirama's head to the side, his voice still gentle, "Although Madara and I are brothers, Madara is different from me. He is a simple and soft-hearted good boy, while I am the complete opposite - so you'd better not try to build a relationship with me before you can actually bring me benefits and advantages.

I am not as tolerant of you as you think. I didn't kill you only because Madara tentatively recognized you, and it would also destroy my friendship with Yi and hinder my efforts to win over Xiao Tobirama. If you can't even survive in my hands, you should just keep quiet, understand?"

Hashirama swallowed his saliva, retreated behind Uzumaki Yi under his half-smiley eyes, and said dryly, "Understood, understood."

"Brother, how did you know that I'm innocent and soft?" Madara said with a complicated expression, "I'm already a qualified ninja. Isn't it inappropriate to praise me with such words?"

"But Madara has already been fooled by Hashirama twice, hasn't he?" Ling retracted his hand and put the cane sword back on his waist. "It's really worrying that Madara trusts outsiders so easily."

Madara: ...Now that you mention it, it seems like I'm a bit lax.

On this side, Madara was successfully silenced by his brother, while on the other side, Uzumaki Yi slightly raised his eyebrows at the spots on Hashirama's face that had not yet faded. He raised his hand to pat him in surprise and looked at Ling, "Come to think of it, the last time Tobirama came to see Hashirama, I heard him mention you - you seem to particularly admire that child?"

"Of course, he's very measured and observant at such a young age. The most important thing is that he can stay calm and find the most appropriate way out no matter how critical the situation is. He won't hesitate even if that means sacrificing himself—"

Ling's interest was obviously improved. "If that kid wasn't more concerned about feelings than he showed, I would have asked Xiao Guang to brainwash him and take him away when I sent his brother back. This is the talent I want!"

Hashirama behind Uzumaki Yi's eyes widened immediately, [That's my brother! I won't give him to you!]

It was a pity that he had just been severely threatened and didn't dare to say a word. In the end, he could only look to Madara for help.

However, Madara, who had just been scolded and was on high alert, simply crossed his arms and said, "Don't look at me. I feel sorry for Tobirama for being your brother."

Hashirama became depressed again.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the two parties who were handing over each other in disdain had just completed the handover. Xuanwo Yi took his leave first and left with his people.

Hashirama followed behind dejectedly, "This is really strange - why am I the only one who can't win the favor of big brother Madara no matter what I do?"

"Because Hashirama showed his purpose too obviously," Uzumaki Yi turned his head, "and Hashirama didn't really show himself to Ling, right?"

"I showed it to him! I even showed him my trump card, the Sage Mode! But isn't that enough?" Hashirama looked even more frustrated. "Brother Yi, how did you raise your favorability?"

"Rather, it's because Hashirama tried to please Ling with this purpose that he failed completely," Uzumaki Yi shook his head and sighed, "And when I say the real you, I don't mean to tell the other party your cards, but to let him understand your character - although I think even if he understands it, Ling will still hate you."

"Why? He obviously likes Tobirama so much! He even likes her so much that he wants to kidnap my brother!"

"Because Xiaozhurama is very good at playing dumb and making trouble to hide or achieve his own goals - didn't Ling just say that? He is different from his brother. He hates people who pretend to be confused when they know the truth. If you don't want to tell him, just say it directly, and he won't pester you."

The two Uzumaki clan members nearby were wondering if what their clan leader said was too outrageous when they heard Hashirama muttering, "...Is it obvious? I usually come here this way too? And the number of times we've met can be counted on one hand. Is he that sensitive?"

Uzumaki Yi glanced at his family members who were unable to hide their shock, and then cast his gaze on Hashirama who was following him with a somewhat depressed look, "And Hashirama, there is another point about you that is the key to why Ling hates you - and this point cannot be changed no matter what."

Hashirama's voice was weak, "...What?"

Uzumaki Yi showed a hint of helplessness on his face, "Because it seems like you really tricked his brother into getting him."

Hashirama: ...Ah?
