Chapter 490 Uchiha Xuanshan doesn’t want to endure it anymore!

Uchiha Tajima put down the scroll in his hand, tapped his fingers on the table, and looked up at the white-haired boy standing across from him, "The habit of recording information here doesn't seem like the Uzumaki clan - it's more like the Senju."

Tobirama nodded slightly, his expression calm, "Yes, this is the information I have collected and classified."

Uchiha Tajima raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had discovered something incredible, "Huh... you're quite courageous."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Izuna looked at Tobirama who answered every question but never spoke, and couldn't help curling his lips in a subtle way - where was the courage to confront him just now? Stinky white hair, just like him.

Uchiha Tajima didn't think that this kid who was severely frightened by him last time would be able to speak frankly to him, but he knew clearly that Tobirama insisted on delivering the information to him personally, and this almost suicidal act must have other purposes.

[No matter how many times I've experienced this, it's true that the thoughts of children this age are the most unpredictable... It really makes me curious about what made him make such a decision. ]

Thinking of this, Uchiha Tajima snorted and laughed, "How is it? Did you achieve your goal?"

Hearing this, Tobirama pursed his lips slightly, "...No, not yet. I don't have enough time."

"Then stay overnight, and let Izuna take you around the clan tomorrow," Uchiha Tajima raised his hand to support his chin, with a half-smile on his face, "After all, you don't seem to have any intention of sharing your goals with me - I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys will do to the world in the end."

"…Thanks for your understanding."

Seeing Tobirama bow to his father and then look at him, Izunai clicked her tongue implicitly and called him a coward, then stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Then I will take Tobirama back first, father."

"Well, be careful, and--" Uchiha Tajima nodded with a smile, glanced at Uchiha Xuanshan who looked strange and Uchiha Keizhi who looked interested, and added, "Next time if something like this happens, you can wait until I get home to deal with it--look how scared your uncle Xuanshan is."

Uchiha Xuanshan's face twitched a few times, but he finally held back his outburst in front of the two little ones.

Izuna looked at the strange atmosphere of the three adults, quietly stuck out her tongue, responded and dragged Tobirama away. At the moment when the two closed the door, Tobirama heard a loud shout from inside the house, "Uchiha Tajima! You must give me an explanation today! I tolerated Ling's secret actions and reforms in the clan - after all, he is actually bringing various benefits to the clan!

But what’s wrong with your attitude?! What on earth is this all about today!? You let a Thousand Hands come to your study room so arrogantly, and you are so kind to him?! Is there something wrong with your mind! "

"Well, Xuanshan, don't be so angry, he's just a child—"

"Bullshit! Uchiha Keizhi and I haven't bothered you yet! How dare you come back here alone?! Is this how you act as a bodyguard ninja?!"

"Didn't Ling bring anyone with him——"

"You are a fucking guard nin! Do you know what a guard nin is?! Even if Ling can take over perfectly, it is your duty, don't you understand?! I don't even bother to scold Tajima because he is so confused! You are an old bachelor with nothing and you don't know what to do?! If you don't want your brain, you can cut it off and let Senju kick it like a ball! At least it can make a few idiots a little happier!"

[It seems like I heard something I shouldn’t have heard. ]

Izuna and Tobirama looked at each other and silently quickened their pace to leave the corridor. It was not until they could no longer hear Uchiha Genshan's furious voice that Tobirama spoke carefully, "Can the elders of your Uchiha clan scold the clan leader at will?"

"Not really...it's just that Uncle Xuanshan is a little special," Izuna's mouth twitched slightly, and then she showed a cheerful and bright smile and looked at Tobirama, "You didn't hear anything just now, right?"

"You don't even believe that lie, do you?" Tobirama's mouth twitched slightly, "But the guard-nin actually abandoned the person he was protecting and returned to the clan, and let your eldest brother take over...your second brother was just thrown into the front line like that?"

"Wulusai! If you keep talking nonsense, I will call people to arrest you and put you in jail!" Izunai roared in a low voice. When he saw Tobirama raised his hands in surrender, he snorted and turned back, "Hey, Baimao, what is your purpose for being so strange today? You can't really want to die, right?"

"…That's why I said at the beginning that I have something to talk to your brother about."

"But why?" Izuna slowed down his pace again and walked to Tobirama's side. "I remember that the few times you met with my brother were not very pleasant, right?"

Tobirama lowered his eyes and spoke after a brief silence, "…because I don't understand what he wants to do."

"Ok?"

"No matter what he is promoting, it can benefit both parties - for example, I am now assisting the three parties in communicating intelligence, and he and my eldest brother agreed to spare the children of the two tribes. If he just wants to promote the alliance, there is no need to use this method."

Tobirama glanced at Izuna, who looked particularly puzzled, and sighed, "You also know that there are many ways to cooperate, among which the leading power of cooperation is undoubtedly the most important... I can still understand your brother's desire to unite the three tribes to quell the chaos of the ninja tribe in the Land of Fire, but I don't understand his behavior of giving benefits to competitors and strengthening the strength of his rivals.

If I were him, even if I didn't want to kill off my old rivals in order to win over their hearts, I would definitely try every possible means to weaken their strength, try to keep my clan in a position to coordinate the overall situation, sign various contracts, and urge people to execute them, so as to maintain the stability of the new alliance."

Izuna raised her eyebrows, "I understand what you said, but does it have anything to do with your actions that are like sending our family to their own death?"

"In summary, when an alliance is bound to happen, it is quite undesirable to help the opponent to strengthen its strength just to win people's hearts. But your eldest brother did it. For the alliance, he is both a catalyst for advancement and a cancer that destroys stability."

Tobirama turned his head to look at Izuna, and spoke before he exploded, "I don't want to cooperate with someone whose attitude is unclear, so I want to see the Uchiha's attitude with my own eyes. This is why I'm here."

Izuna was about to laugh at Tobirama's anger. She simply stopped and crossed her arms to look at him. Bloodshot appeared in her eyes and she gritted her teeth, "You can't even beat me?"

Tobirama also stopped, his crimson eyes calm, "You are indeed slightly better than me in skills, but if it is a life-and-death battle, I will be the winner."
