Chapter 525: Madara: These two children were really exchanged back, right?

After going without a drop of water or a grain of rice for half a month, an ordinary person would have starved to death. Even though the ninjas had superior physiques and had medical ninjas to help maintain and deliver nutrition, they could only barely keep their lives.

After waking up, Senju Baimo and Uchiha Yingji were so weak that they could not even speak in the first two days. When they were able to speak, Senju Baimo had to listen to all kinds of sarcasm from Uchiha Yingji while recovering from his injuries.

Fortunately, Senju Hakumo was a Senju with sufficient experience in dealing with the Uchiha. Despite his limited mobility, he perfectly pretended to be deaf and turned a deaf ear to Uchiha Eiji's ridicule.

When the two recovered to the point where they could move around, Uzumaki Yi also thought that [Tobirama] and [Izuna] had enough knowledge of themselves, so he used the sealing formation that had been set up during this period to switch the two back to their own bodies.

However, compared to Tobirama, who obviously needed some time to adapt, Izuna showed a high degree of adaptability to the body when she was just replaced - after glaring at Uzumaki and scolding Hashirama with gestures, she immediately ran to Madara and Ling with a pitiful expression and acted coquettishly and affectionately.

But the scene of brotherly love and respect was instantly shattered by Tobirama's complaint of "squeamish kid".

"Damn white hair! What do you mean!"

"I mean what I said," Tobirama sighed and looked up at Izuna, "You are so energetic that it's unbelievable."

"Huh?" Izuna's eyes flushed red, and he raised his chin and looked down at Tobirama, "Do you really want to pick a fight, you damn white-haired guy?"

"No, I just gained a new understanding of the nerves of you Uchiha people - and also gained a new understanding of my own tolerance."

Tobirama calmly looked away, sat on the ground and looked at Ling, "But you are really amazing, Uchiha Ling... I didn't expect you to be so good at disguise, and even able to pretend to be a [normal person]."

"Hmm?" Ling tilted his head slightly, a slight smile on his face, "Can I take this as a compliment?"

"If you are willing." Tobirama stood up under the unfriendly gazes of Izuna and Madara, and looked at Uzumaki Yi who blended into the Uchiha team very freely, and spoke again, "Although it is inappropriate, the matter here should have come to an end. We should be able to go back, right?"

"Well, it depends on whether there is anyone willing to take over this mess..." Ling stopped Quan Nai from rubbing the top of his head and turned to the direction where Uzumaki Yi was, "Thank you for today, I will do my best in the future - what do you think of the Blood Pool?"

"I feel relieved when you say that!" Uzumaki Yi stopped communicating with Uchiha Hikaru after hearing that and turned around, "How are things going here? Did you leave any follow-up intentionally? After all, I told you before that I wanted to fight side by side with you!"

"No, but it's because we're approaching the truce, so we're a little hasty. And there's a person we're concerned about who hasn't been caught yet, so there might be others who slipped through the net... To prevent any future trouble, I want to destroy the blood pool that they use as their foundation before I leave, so I asked Hashirama to plant a lot of trees under the guidance of the Great Sage Slug. You can try to use them when the time comes."

Ling frowned slightly, "One more thing, this battle in the Blood Pond is a long-term operation. Many valuable items are not easy to dismantle or transport back. You can make a profit if you take over now."

“Well, are there any fish that slipped through the net? Then the finishing work is indeed a bit troublesome…” Uzumaki Yi put his fingers on his forehead, closed his eyes, and spoke after a moment, “I understand! After all, I have entrusted you to completely destroy the Blood Pool! Leave the follow-up to me! However, my people have to deal with the seal first, and then they can take care of this side. I have to ask you to continue to detain the Blood Pool’s survivors for a while!”

Ling smiled, turned to Madara's direction, and bowed his head slightly, "What are Madara's intentions?"

"Hmm? Since that's what my brother wants to do..."

Ling's smile deepened, and he interrupted Ban's speech with a long voice, "Hmm? This is a decision that involves the future attitude of the clan?"

Madara sighed helplessly, and looked at Uzumaki Yi with a bit of hostility, "This is indeed beneficial to both parties... Since you really showed your sincerity first, I will trust you for once."

"I'm really grateful!" Uzumaki Yi laughed loudly, "Don't worry! As long as our clan still exists in the world, the Blood Pool will not invade you again!"

Madara clicked his tongue fiercely and muttered, "If it weren't for my brother and the clan..."

Ling reached out and rubbed the back of Madara's head with amusement, "Then you should live near the Senju camp for the next few days. I will inform the tribe members not to provoke you."

"Compared to that, I have something more important to worry about right now! Ling's body should have recovered, right?"

"Eh? Um...what do you want to do?"

"I heard Xiao Guang talk about some of your moves!" Uzumaki Yi raised his hand and patted Uchiha Guang's shoulder, "Would it be convenient for you to spar with me now? I'll use the reward of doing the other party a favor! Of course, it can't be offset!"

"Now?" Ling tilted his head, "You consumed a lot of chakra, didn't you?"

"Then you should not use the power of the Kaleidoscope!" Uzumaki Yi walked over and put his arm around Ling's shoulders and led him out. "Understanding the opponent's various methods is also a wonderful practice! Hurry up! I can't wait!"

"Hey, wait, I have something else to do--Hey!"

Seeing Ling being dragged away by Uzumaki without much resistance, Tobirama couldn't help but sigh softly, "As expected..."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing, I just discovered a fatal habit of the Uchiha—" Tobirama raised his eyes and looked at Madara who was walking in front of him, then turned his head to look at Hashirama who stood up and moved behind him when Madara approached him, and finally returned his gaze to Madara, "To be honest, I hate your elder brother a little bit."

Madara frowned fiercely, but he still suppressed Izuna who started to grin, and nodded slightly, "You have the right, but I want to know the reason."

"Like I said before, he is so good at disguising himself that he can even make his enemies treat him as a normal person. He is very good at lowering people's vigilance. Taking myself as an example, I have to admit that his methods are very clever. This is why I hate him."

Tobirama calmly raised his head and looked at Madara, "Although my elder brother is an idiot, he is quite talented in fighting and strategizing. Moreover, he is different from Brother Yi. He is more rational than Brother Yi. If you treat my elder brother the same way your brother treats Brother Yi, after our paths cross, your end will only be failure. Therefore, you must be more careful in what you say and do when you get along with my elder brother."

spot:……?

Compared to the confused Madara, the shock in Hashirama's eyes was almost overflowing, "Tobirama! I am your brother, right?! It's too much to call your brother like that! Don't you worry that your brother will be wronged in your relationship?!"

Tobirama's face remained calm. "Excuse me for being blunt, but among all the Uchiha I've met so far, Madara is a rare one with a relatively stable mind. This makes his words and actions particularly easy to predict. Add to that what I've observed these days, and his attitude towards you, big brother. I can be sure that, apart from intending to suppress you in terms of strength, he has no other thoughts about you at all. He is completely different from you, big brother."

Hashirama's face was immediately filled with hurt, "How could I?! I am serious about peace, okay?!"

"It is because you are so serious that I told Uchiha Madara to be careful about how he interacts with you. I don't want to see Uchiha Ling with a group of Mangekyōs coming to our doorstep and going crazy one day in the future."

Madara on the side paused when he heard this, and looked back hesitantly at Izuna who had a dazed and shocked look on her face - these two children were really exchanged back, right?
