Hokage Izumi Nana, don't run!

A fire brought a perfect ending to this seemingly smooth mission.

The two old friends of Yoshida Aiye reunited. Except for Mizama and Izuna, no one knew that they stepped on the blood of others and shook hands to make peace. Oh, and maybe we should also add the undead who are imprisoned in the dark basement and have not yet come out until their death.

Of course, it is not known whether they really have no grudges like they did when they were young, and whether they can really maintain their friendship forever.

The six-person group who successfully completed their mission received their generous rewards and were about to leave the Kingdom of Water.

Mizama still got up early, took the small sealed scroll on the side and went out with the sword on his back.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but Izuna, who also uses a sword as a weapon, also has the habit of getting up early, and the training place they chose is the same forest.

Meeting again unexpectedly.

Perhaps after cooperating on a mission, Izuna's vigilance was not as strong as it was at the beginning. In addition, Senju Mizama did not hesitate to discuss or share swordsmanship unilaterally, so he also accepted the fact that they would practice together.

Izuna looked a little puzzled at Mizuma who was huddled under the tree with his ninja bag. Mizuma felt the sight of Izuna looking over him, raised his head and forced a smile: "Izumi, you have practiced very well, swordsmanship. You need to realize it slowly, not in a hurry.”

Quan Nai frowned: "Where can I give you the time to slowly realize it? If you can't make rapid progress, the enemy will not care about your young age!"

"Is that so..." Mizama murmured, smiling again, "Izumi Nana is a genius and has made rapid progress!"

"Most geniuses die poorly and are most likely to perish." No enemy wants the opposite genius to grow. "My three brothers did not survive either."

"...Just like my third brother and fourth brother?"

"..."

Quan Nai raised his head slightly and saw lush branches and leaves and heavy shadows. There was no sunshine today and the forest was too humid. Even carrying the sword was more laborious than usual.

Shuijian's white clothes were stained with dew and hung heavily on his body, like a rabbit that had lost its vitality.

After a long time, I heard a chuckle.

"Ah."

Minama looked up and saw Izuna walking towards him with her sword put away. He bowed slightly, picked up the ninja tool bag on the ground, and then lowered his eyes to look down at the white-haired girl.

"Izumi Nana?"

"Senju Mizama, I admit that you are a well-deserved genius in swordsmanship, but you are only twelve," Izuna tied up her ninja bag, took a step back, turned and left, and turned around the forest with her last mocking words. trees,

"I also want to see how long you can survive."

……

Mizama stared blankly at the departing figure. The dark uniform seemed to blend in with the gloomy environment. She finally tightened her grip on the sword hilt in her hand - "Izuna, wait a moment!"

"According to what you said, if we are fighting for interests..." Mizama gritted his teeth, "Then, if there is no direct conflict, we can still start over!"

Quan Nai paused, and finally disappeared around the corner.

The sky was still dark, but a scattered light as thin as dust poured down through the heavy clouds.

"Mizama, welcome back!"

The moment he entered the clan's territory, Shuijian was hugged by his happy eldest brother. Hashirama happily pulled his only sister to look around. Mizama himself had no chakra. If Anri hadn't sent messages from time to time to report that she was safe, he would have been really worried at all.

"No injury, no injury, yo sie yo sie, great, great!"

Mizuma:……

Although, she still did not give up the struggle.

"Brother, you are too strong!"

"Okay, big brother, let go of Mizama!"

"..." Hashirama was in disbelief, "Tobirama, even Mizunama...you..."

He silently let go of his hand, walked to the corner, faced the wall, squatted down, and mushrooms began to grow on his head: "Shuijian dislikes me, Shuijian dislikes me, Shuijian dislikes me, Shuijian dislikes me, qaq..."

Mizuma raised his hand and pulled Tobirama's sleeve: "Second brother..." Does it really not matter if the eldest brother does this?

The word "well" popped up one after another on Tobirama's forehead: "That's enough, brother! This is the gate of the clan! How long do you want to embarrass yourself!"

Hashirama suddenly became even more depressed: "Tobirama is cruel to me, Tobirama is cruel to me, Tobirama is cruel to me qaq..."

"...Second brother," Shuijian was silent and tugged on the sleeve in his hand again, "I don't want to eat mushroom rice tonight."

"... Let's go back first and then talk about it!" Tobirama sighed helplessly, "Let's go, brother! Don't you want Minato to go home?"

"Coming!"

After returning to the clan leader's house, Hashirama smiled happily after listening to the entire mission process retelled by Minazama: "As expected of Mizurama, he was able to successfully cooperate with Uchiha!"

"Is this something worth being happy about?" Tobirama frowned, "Uchiha Izuna didn't do anything weird to you, right?"

Mizuma who was cueed:......

Second brother, as sharp as ever, hahaha, it seems, should, probably, not. But I accidentally broke into Izuna's bath or something... I can't say this at all! Promised to Quan Nai!

She touched her chin seriously and thought for a while, then shook her head affirmatively: "No!"

"Really?"

"real!"

"Okay." I will ask Xingli later. The second brother Senju, who has the highest IQ, made up his mind.

As for what "truth" I heard from Anri, which led to a stronger desire to protect Mizuma and a stronger murderous intention towards Uchiha Izuna... Izumi Nana is sorry!

"In general, this mission was completed well!" Tobirama's eyebrows were rare and soft, and he touched Minama's silver-haired little head, "Well done!"

Well, the rewards are great too!

Although neither is very smart, the younger sister is much more obedient than the elder brother.

"Tobirama, you can only be so gentle to Mizurama."

"...If I remember correctly, you are the eldest brother and the clan leader," Tobirama turned his head and showed a kind smile, "those documents and so on..."

"Tobirama you are the best!"

There is a black line between the water and the water, so it is not a lie to say that the second brother is more reliable than the eldest brother! The second brother is in charge of the family affairs!

But the eldest brother who can make the clan leader into a mascot is quite powerful to a certain extent... maybe.

"But Minama, you don't seem very happy."

Oh, my eldest brother is also very good at intuition! Especially good at finding out what’s on other people’s minds!

Tobirama also reacted to what was said. Of course, he could also see a hint of sadness on the girl's eyebrows: "What happened? You can tell us."

Minama hesitated for a moment: "Isn't it forbidden for ninjas to speak about their employer?"

"But we are brothers, and we won't tell anyone about it either." Hashirama's big, generous palm also touched Mizama's little head, and he smiled reassuringly, "Say it!"

Mizama blinked. At this time, the eldest brother seemed surprisingly reliable!

So, I tried my best to organize the words to express everything that happened in the basement.

As he spoke, the white ponytail that was tied high fell down weakly.

"Is it just to bully the weak by making yourself strong? Shouldn't the strong protect the weak?"

"We are obviously like-minded, but can we turn against each other just because of money?"

"Why on earth do we want to kill each other?"

Several consecutive questions silenced the two brothers. Hashirama looked in the direction of Minagawa from afar, feeling that Yoshida and Aino were inexplicably similar to himself and Madara. It's just that they have reconciled, but he and Madara are still on opposite sides.

After a long time, Hashirama raised his hand and touched Mizama's little head again: "Being able to think about these issues proves that Mizama has grown up." His tone was full of joy.

"...Brother, I am already twelve years old."

"Well, after all, you just learned to speak not long ago, and I always remember how you were before. I thought you were a fool for a while."

"...I heard it."

"Hey hahaha, did I say anything?"

"You said it all," Tobirama took a sip of tea and complained angrily, "In fact, I don't think you are any better than Minama, and Minama is much better behaved than you."

"...qaq."

Ignoring the shocked Hashirama, Tobirama calmly put down the tea cup: "Mizama, you have always been unwilling to kill people, maybe you just adhere to the concept that the strong need to protect the weak."

"Killing is indeed wrong, but for the Senju, we have no choice." After all, he is a man who has been able to propose alliances and armistices since he was a child. Tobirama looked at him calmly, "Even if I want to stop, it doesn't mean that the entire Senju wants to stop." , even if the entire Senju wants to stop, it doesn’t mean that all the ninja clan want to stop.”

"Even though we long for peace, not everyone is willing to welcome peace. Even if everyone is willing to welcome peace, we cannot erase all hatred. Do you understand?"

There is nothing that can be done about the general trend.

"If, Tobirama, I mean if," Hashirama thought for a moment, "if I am strong enough, if Madara is strong enough, if our two races can truly form an alliance, then no one can rival us. In this way, yes Otherwise, we can usher in true peace.”

"If you two are strong enough, then the tribe will only push you to decide the outcome."

"If I win, or Madara wins..."

"Brother! Do you think I haven't considered the feasibility of forming an alliance?" Tobirama said, "No matter which of you wins, what do you think will be the fate of the other clan?"

"If you want to form a true alliance, unless it is an absolutely equal brotherhood, no matter which clan occupies the dominant position, the remaining one will definitely not end well!"

"But brother...is it possible?"

"Do you think this is possible?"

There was silence between the pillars.

After a moment, he raised his head with hope: "That is to say, if we can form a brotherly alliance, we can usher in peace, right?"

Tobirama, who had been talking sincerely for a long time:...

I've been talking about feelings for a long time, but you still only heard the word alliance?

"Mizama, did you hear that?" Hashirama stood up happily, "This world is absolutely wrong as you said, but as long as we form a brotherhood with Uchiha, we can completely change it!"

"The strong can protect the weak! The weak will be protected and no longer bullied! Friends can move towards their dreams together, and we will no longer kill each other! Mizama, did you hear that?"

Shuijian, who was in a daze for a long time: ...Oh, brotherly covenant.

"That's enough, brother! Even if it's possible! You're not that strong yet!"

"Sure enough, Tobirama even thinks you can do it, right? Yossi, Yossi, I'm going to practice now. I think the power of Wood Release is much more than that..."

Tobirama & Minama who were left in the living room:...

Shuijian scratched his hair in confusion: "So, second brother, getting stronger is the most important thing now, right?"

"..."

"Oh, then I'll go practice swordplay too."

"..."

Did these two understand what he meant?

Finally, looking at the two clan leader brothers and sisters rushing to the training ground one after another, Yingzhi and Anri stopped at the same time.

"Speaking of which, did Mr. Mizama really not bring us a souvenir?"

"Eichi, you've already asked all the questions." Anri added, "That part is Master Mizama's reward! You get it too!"

"But Mizuma-sama didn't bring anything back," Yingzhi felt aggrieved, "She's so simple, where would she spend her money?" She couldn't be deceived, right?

At this moment, Izuna, who was far away in the Uchiha clan, took out a scroll from the ninja tool bag that he carried with him. When he opened it out of curiosity, he found that it was the dessert he had been staring at that night.

Still very fresh.
