Chapter 354: Confrontation between Tobirama and Madara.

Tobirama was very angry. He never expected that his elder brother Hashirama favored Madara and Izuna so much.

That's right, he did it on purpose, just to let Madara outside the window hear it, but he was wrong. The Uchiha clan is a clan that attaches great importance to feelings. Once they lose something, they are very likely to go berserk!

I don’t know what the eldest brother was thinking about letting Madara be the village chief.

If things go wrong, the village that we built with great difficulty might be destroyed.

Therefore, Tobirama believed that he was not wrong, nor did he think that his later policy towards Uchiha was wrong. He believed that everything he did was for the village.

Feeling depressed, Tobirama walked under a tree, then sighed and sat down, looking at the sunset in the sky with a bit of loneliness.

Ugh!

Why don’t you understand my painstaking efforts, brother?

Just when I was feeling depressed, Ban came over.

Perhaps Tobirama's mood was affected by Hashirama, and he did not sense Madara's arrival until Madara approached him.

"who!"

Madara flashed over, "It's me, Tobirama."

Tobirama didn't stand up, his eyes narrowed as he asked, "Madara! What are you doing here?"

Madara smiled slightly, then walked over to Tobirama and sat down.

Tobirama just looked at Madara like this, as if he wanted to see through this man.

To be honest, this is the first time that the two of them have been alone together since they met. Because their respective clans are hostile to each other, they fight whenever they meet and there are always many people around them.

Later, when the village was peacefully established, due to Izuna's death, the chances of Tobirama and Madara meeting alone became even less likely, and Hashirama was usually present.

Tobirama looked at Madara and snorted, "What are you doing here?"

Madara looked at the sunset in the distance and said, "I came over to talk to you."

Tobirama acted as if he had heard some joke, "You! Madara! Want to talk to me? Did I hear correctly?"

Madara turned to look at Tobirama, nodded seriously and said: "You heard me right, I just came here to talk to you."

Tobirama chuckled, then turned around meaningfully, looked at Madara and asked, "Okay, tell me, what did you come to talk to me about?"

Madara looked at Tobirama and said, "Tobirama, I know that you have always been prejudiced against the Uchiha clan, so I came here this time just to talk to you about why you are so hostile to the Uchiha clan!"

Tobirama snorted coldly and said, "I'm sorry, I have no prejudice against the Uchiha clan. I'm just speaking based on facts, Madara! You should understand that you used to be a very cheerful and communicative person. Think about what you have become after Izuna's death!"

"The whole person is extremely dark, and his attack on the Senju clan is even more intense."

Madara took a deep breath and said, "I admit this, but you can't blame me. Izuna is my last brother. I have lost my last hope. If it was Hashirama, do you think your brother would be able to remain calm if he lost you?"

Speaking of this, Tobirama said confidently: "Don't quibble, Madara, if I died, my elder brother would not turn evil like you!"

"Your Uchiha clan is a clan that values ​​feelings very much. I know this better than any other member of your clan! That's why I pay special attention to you Uchiha, and even have a sense of worry and precaution!"

"Why do you think I let the Uchiha clan serve as Konoha's guard? Orochimaru said that I wanted to make the people in the village hostile to you, so as to alienate the villagers!"

"I admit that this was one of my goals at the time, but the most important thing is to list the Uchiha clan as the Konoha Guard Department, so that your clan members will rarely participate in foreign defense wars!!!"

At this point, Tobirama's voice was very loud, and he looked at Madara and said, "What do you think I'm thinking about? In order to prevent fewer deaths of your Uchiha clan members, because I know that once the Uchiha clan members lose their loved ones, I don't know what will happen!"

At this point, Tobirama excitedly said: "Why do you think there were so many members of the Uchiha clan during the Fugaku era? So many that even the Konoha high-level officials had to worry and be vigilant!"

"It's not that most of the combatants are in the Konoha Guard Department, only a few elites are in the Anbu and the defense department!"

"Few people died in this way, and the number of tribe members increased steadily."

Tobirama snorted coldly, looked at the sunset in the distance and said: "I also admit that during the Sarutobi era, the management of the Uchiha by the Konoha high-level officials was indeed problematic!"

"But that's not Sarutobi's fault. After all, the external environment that Konoha faced at the time was very complicated, and the power within the village was also very complicated. In addition, there was no key figure in your clan who could stabilize the relationship between the clan members and the village!"

At this point, Tobirama said with great regret: "The only two, Shisui and Itachi, were too young at the time and did not have enough experience to participate in politics and form the Konoha high-level leadership like Uchiha Kagami did!"

Tobirama looked at Madara and said, "Don't think that I don't trust Uchiha just because I am hostile to them. Uchiha Kagami is very good. He is a subordinate whom I admire and trust very much. He has a great sense of the overall situation. When I was in power, he was one of the top leaders of Konoha!"

Tobirama sighed and said, "What a pity. I heard from Sarutobi that Kagami died too early. He also passed away not long after I died. If he were alive, the Uchiha clan would never have been exterminated!"

After that, Tobirama said with emotion: "My eldest brother felt that I killed your brother and I owed you something, so when he was around, he took good care of the Uchiha clan. You saw it, but in the end, your clan members rebelled."

"It's not like you Uchiha didn't kill my relatives. Didn't Watama and Itama die at the hands of your clansmen? Did my eldest brother turn evil? Did my Senju clan strike back?"

"It's really funny. Tsunade is the only one left in Konoha now, and the Senju clan is almost gone."

After listening to all of Tobirama's statements, some of the questions that had been bothering him in his mind were now answered.

Madara smiled. In some ways, Tobirama and Hashirama were really alike. They both gave everything for the village in their hearts.

"Tobirama, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Madara's sudden "I'm sorry" made Tobirama feel uncomfortable all over, as if he was crawling with an ant.

Tobirama looked at Madara and said, "No, why don't you just go back to your old unruly self!"

Madara laughed, then looked at Tobirama and said, "Tobirama, I understand your way of governing, but you have to admit that some of your actions have indeed accelerated the darkening of the Uchiha clan!"

Tobirama thought about his subordinates and some of Danzo's outrageous actions, and couldn't help but sighed and said, "I don't want to do this either, but for the sake of the village, there is no other way."

Madara looked at Tobirama and said, "My brother Izuna is back. I think we should let go of the hatred between us!"

"Tobirama, look into my eyes and tell me honestly, when I was outside the window, you said those things on purpose. Wasn't there any selfish motive at all?"

"Are you afraid that I care about Izuna's affairs and will target you after becoming Hokage?"

Faced with Madara's question, Tobirama remained silent for several seconds.

That’s right, Tobirama had selfish motives at the beginning.

Seeing Tobirama's silence, Madara smiled in relief, stood up and said, "Tobirama, after going through all this, I have completely let it go. The world now has become a world that Hashirama and I never dared to imagine before. I think we should let go of the grudges between us. After all, our clans are about to disappear from this world!"

Madara reached out his hand, looked at Tobirama and said, "Tobirama, go back. You should understand that the person your eldest brother loves the most is you."

Tobirama looked at the hand that Madara stretched out, and after a few seconds of silence, Tobirama stretched out his hand.

Madara pulled Tobirama up, and the two men looked at each other and smiled in relief.
