Chapter 81: Tetobirama: Brother, you are so stupid.

"Well..." Uchiha Masaki touched his nose, "That's true, but those nobles aren't that stupid, right?"

"I don't agree with that..." Ling chuckled, "Did Yashu forget what kind of status our clan had in the Land of Lightning before coming to the Land of Fire?"

"The term 'Noble among Ninjas' can only fool those princesses who have been raised at home and have never seen the world," Uchiha Masaki frowned. "It's impossible to expect this title to work among the nobles..."

Ling tilted his head, "Isn't it enough to deceive Ji Jun?"

Uchiha Masaki was stunned at first, and then he raised his hand to cover his mouth unconsciously, "Wow... You are such a bad guy."

"Well, this is also using my own advantages, and..." Ling shrugged slightly, "It can't be considered a lie if it's something you both agree on."

"You are really... I wouldn't be surprised if you were punished by God one day."

"Ah, thanks for the compliment."

Ban, who had overheard everything, said: …What kind of riddle is this?

But the team had already assembled, and Madara's doubts were temporarily suppressed in his heart. The Uchiha people set out from their clan land in a mighty manner and headed towards the Land of Lightning.

The fact that so many Uchiha people left Minamigagawa could not be hidden from their old rival, the Senju clan. This matter was soon put on the desk of the current head of the Senju clan, Senju Fusuma.

Senju Fojian glanced at the intelligence sent to him and rolled it up and put it aside. "Don't worry about it. Now is a truce period. Don't get into conflicts unless you encounter them during a mission."

"But, sir," the Senju tribe member who came to deliver the information hesitated, "I think we should still pay attention to this matter..."

Thousand-Handed Buddha raised his head and motioned for his tribesmen to continue.

"Some time ago, the Uchiha clan had a conflict with Kaguya. Their current trip might be..."

Senju Fushima raised his hand to stop the clan members from talking, "Although the Kaguya clan is also a large clan, if the Uchiha clan had sent out so many people just to deal with the provocation of the other party, they should have been wiped out by us long ago.

This team is most likely responsible for handling the clan's internal affairs, and the people in the team should all be ordinary ninjas with little strength but some reputation. Attacking such a team will not only be of no benefit to us, but will also anger the Uchiha.

Okay, I know you hate Uchiha, but this team won't cause any trouble, so let's not talk about it any more."

"……Yes."

Seeing his tribe members leaving unwillingly, Qianshou Fojian sighed, but his eyes fell on his eldest son who picked up the scroll, "Why, are you interested in this matter?"

Senju Hashirama raised his head upon hearing this, not hiding his interest in the Uchiha clan, "Well, I want to know more about the Uchiha clan."

"Well... the battle is intense now. I'm sure it won't be long before you meet Uchiha ninjas on the battlefield. It's good to get to know them now." Senju Fushima nodded slightly, "There is indeed a kid of your generation in Uchiha who is worth paying attention to. His name... should be Madara, right?

His talent is comparable to yours, and he is also a strong candidate for the next Uchiha clan leader. If you meet him in the future, you must not hold back, understand?"

Hashirama nodded solemnly without saying anything.

"There should be a list in this," Senju Butsuma stretched out his hand and tapped the scroll in Hashirama's hand, "You can take the list. Although there shouldn't be any powerful ninjas in it, they are all people who can influence the next move of the Uchiha. You can write down the names first, and I will find the appearance records of those Uchiha for you after I'm done."

"Yes, thank you, father."

"Well, there shouldn't be any more clan affairs coming. You can go out now."

"Yes." Hashirama pulled out the list from the inner layer of the scroll and stood up obediently. "Then I will take my leave first."

But after leaving the house, before he took two steps, Hashirama's expression twisted. He lowered his head and looked at the list in his hand, his gaze stopped at the end of the list, and Uchiha Madara, who was just mentioned by Senju Butsuma, was on the list.

The name closely following this one is Uchiha Ling, who the clan has mentioned many times as someone who needs attention.

[Did father notice this list? No, right? Otherwise, after repeatedly emphasizing the danger of Uchiha Ling in the clan, he shouldn't have just expelled the clan members like this...]

Hashirama's expression was distorted, he didn't know whether he should turn around and tell Senju Butsuma about this.

"Brother, what are you doing in a place like this?"

Hashirama shuddered and subconsciously stuffed the list in his hand into his arms. He turned around to look at the person who came and scratched the back of his head with a silly look on his face. "Haha, it's Tobirama. I didn't do anything, um, I didn't do anything."

The child called Tobirama by Hashirama had white hair and delicate features. At this moment, his pair of terrifying red eyes were looking at Hashirama with a scrutinizing look. "You didn't do anything? Then what are you holding in your hand?"

Although, when Tobirama was a child, he really looked like the typical Uchiha...

"Eh? Really?" Hashirama raised his hand and grabbed his hair, stuffing something into his arms in a way he thought was concealed, trying to get away with it, "I don't have anything in my hand? Tobirama, you must have seen it wrong, hahahaha——"

Tobirama's eyes fell on the corner of the paper exposed on Hashirama's chest, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Brother, are you really going to the battlefield?"

"Of course, I will soon be allowed to go to the battlefield with Uchiha." Hashirama put his hands on his hips, raised his chin, and patted his chest confidently, "If there is anything you don't understand, Tobirama, just come and ask your brother!"

Seeing that a lot of paper was blown out because of Hashirama's actions, Tobirama's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he raised his hand and pointed at Hashirama's chest, "Big brother, do you think I can't see it?"

Hashirama lowered his head, and after a brief silence, he reached out and stuffed the paper into his arms, "It's okay now."

Tobirama:......

"Brother! What on earth are you——"

Hashirama immediately rushed over and covered his brother's mouth, "Shh, shh, why are you yelling? You're making me look like a nobody. I'm telling you the truth."

Tobirama opened his eyes wide, don't you think you are suspicious enough? !

"Ahem, let's talk while we walk..." Hashirama put his arm around his brother's shoulders and took out the list from his arms. "Father gave me a list, and I found something. Now I'm a little confused... Look here."

Tobirama looked in the direction indicated by Hashirama, and the name Uchiha Ling immediately caught his eye, "Hmm... Uchiha Ling, looks familiar."

Hashirama looked back at the distance between him and Senju Butsuma's office and lowered his voice, "If nothing unexpected happens, it's the Uchiha Ling that the clan is talking about."
