Chapter 575: Tobirama: Suffocate me, you slow-witted braid!

Tobirama looked at the Uchiha who kept looking at them in surprise as they approached, and finally couldn't help but sigh, "You really like being the center of attention."

"Tsk, who do you think is responsible?"

"Obviously, you—" Tobirama glanced at Izuna, who was about to explode, "After all, you can't expect a person who already has violent mood swings and a lot of resentment to not fight back after being beaten."

Izunai snorted and turned away when he heard that. "You didn't tell me what happened to you. Anyway, it's all your fault, you stinky white-haired girl!"

"As you wish..." Tobirama once again looked at the Uchiha around him who were discussing the two of them, "But in a way, our conflict this time can be considered a good thing."

Izuna followed Tobirama's gaze and looked at the tribesmen around him. After a moment, he nodded slightly, "Indeed, after you and I had an obvious conflict, I was still able to hold my temper and send you out. In a sense, it is also a peace signal of the alliance between the two tribes. It seems that we can be more generous in the arrangements for kidnapping the bride in the future."

"Are you sure this is the beginning of this year's truce? If you're sure, I'll start making arrangements now."

"…Does your family not treat you as a human being?"

"If possible, I hope you can replace [you] with [your elder brother] or [my elder brother]——" Tobirama glanced at Izuna with a dark face, "These two guys are idiots who only know how to act on their own will!"

Hearing Tobirama slandering his brother again, Izuna controlled her temper this time and did not punch him again. She just frowned and looked at Tobirama, "So, what did you talk about with my brother?"

Tobirama remained silent, and Izuna did not ask again until they were about to reach the intersection of the two tribes' cities. Tobirama looked at the patrolling tribesmen waving at him from afar, then stopped and turned to Izuna, "I'm not sure what's going on in your Uchiha's mind... But when you were with him on a daily basis, didn't you feel for even a moment that Uchiha Ling was different from the others?"

"Of course my brother is different from others—" Izuna looked at Tobirama strangely, "After all, my brother is always very thoughtful in what he does. He is powerful but also gentle. How can others compare to my brother?"

Tobirama took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to pinch his own philtrum, "...Then don't you think he is too thoughtful?"

"No, Baimao, what do you mean?" Izunai crossed his arms in dissatisfaction, "Just tell me if it's a compliment or criticism."

"Tsk, a rotten tree cannot be carved - go if you want!" Tobirama turned around, strode towards his home with a gloomy face, "Anyway, I will never come to Uchiha again! You slow-witted braid will be suffocated to death!"

Izuna, who was just retorted by Tobirama, seemed to have suddenly grasped something. She ran forward and grabbed Tobirama's arm, her cat eyes widened in shock, "Did my brother scare you?"

Tobirama snorted, stopped walking due to Izuna's force, looked up at the crow that had landed on the branch, and when he saw that it had no intention of interrupting their conversation, he looked at Izuna and signaled him with his eyes to continue.

"Really?!" Izuna's eyes widened, but he quickly put aside his shock and began to think, "It can scare you, but you want to avoid our topic... It's about the major movements of the two tribes?"

Tobirama crossed his arms, his face expressionless and without responding.

But this silence itself represents an answer. Izuna tried hard to squeeze out the information about the Senju and Uchiha in her mind, but she couldn't figure out what Ling had said to Tobirama that scared him so much that he behaved abnormally.

[“Then don’t you think he is too thoughtful?”]

What Tobirama said before resurfaced in Izuna's mind, causing him to frown unconsciously. His tone was also somewhat tentative, "Brother, is he...scheming against someone? No, should I say, um...scheming against many people?"

Before he finished speaking, Izuna felt his shoulder sink. It was Yatagarasu who landed on his shoulder and gently bit the hair on the side of his face, urging him to go home.

Izuna paused and subconsciously looked up at Tobirama, only to see that he still looked calm. After Yata finished speaking, she reached out and touched his other cheek, using medical ninjutsu to heal the bruise on his face, and then snorted and laughed, "It turns out that it looks better this way - for some people, a little scar on their face is the same as disfigurement."

Izuna shuddered, took a few steps back, and looked at Tobirama with a slightly disgusted expression, "Are you a pervert like that red-haired guy?"

Tobirama shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed look, said "see you later" and walked towards his home.

Izuna took Yatagarasu from her shoulders and held her in her arms, and began to speak ill of Tobirama to it, but her thoughts were still on the brief codeword that Tobirama had conveyed to him on his face by tapping his fingertips under the guise of treating him - [Yes, two clans.]

[So, Tobirama was frightened by his brother's plan for the two clans? But what exactly is the plan...] Thinking of this, Izuna lowered her head and glanced at Yata in her arms, raised her hand and stroked its bright and soft feathers, [And Yata's attitude is also very strange. It didn't stop Tobirama and I from fighting before, but it interrupted us when we were talking about his brother? Was it also his brother's instruction? But why did he have to hide it from me...]

[“Then don’t you think he is too thoughtful…”]

Izuna silently repeated what Tobirama said in her mind, feeling as if something was about to come out, but it was out of reach because of some missing information. This slightly powerless feeling made Izuna's mood become irritable. [Brother Madara should have heard a lot of things from his brother. After returning, I have to find a way to persuade Brother Madara to verify what Tobirama revealed. ]
