Hashirama Reborn

Hashirama returned home listlessly. Even though he was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall by his furious father, he accepted it calmly. This abnormal attitude made Senju Fusuma a little strange. After all, Hashirama usually did not accept punishment so honestly. After making sure that Hashirama was kneeling in the ancestral hall obediently, Fusuma locked the door and went back to sleep. Winter was coming, and he, as the clan leader, would have a busy day tomorrow.

Everything was quiet. Hearing the sound of his father locking the door and leaving, Hashirama simply got up from the spot, dragged out a set of bedding from the corner, spread it out skillfully, and lay down in it.

If you want to know why there are beddings in the ancestral hall, don't ask. The reason is that Hashirama was punished to kneel too many times, and his lovely younger brother Itama couldn't bear to see his elder brother suffer the cold, so he sneaked in. The father may not be unaware of it, but just pretended to be stupid. After all, he is his own child. What if he really got hurt or frozen after kneeling for a whole night?

Listening to the faint chirping of insects outside the house, Hashirama couldn't fall asleep. He thought that he would never see Madara again for the whole winter, and he didn't know whether Madara's mission was dangerous or whether he would get hurt.

Thinking about the coming of winter, the clan would also ask Itama to go on a mission. Thinking about how in his previous life Itama was separated from his clan members during the first mission of this winter and was besieged and killed by Hagoromo and Uchiha, Hashirama became extremely anxious.

This time he would definitely not let Itama go on the mission alone. He would convince his father by any means to let him go with Itama. He would watch over his brother and would not let Itama die. As he was thinking about this, Hashirama finally fell asleep.

Brother, come and have dinner.

With a bang, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open, and the cold wind from outside blew in. The excitement made Hashirama shiver slightly in the quilt, and he finally woke up from his hazy dream. Looking at Tobirama standing outside the house with an unpredictable expression, he couldn't help but shudder.

Tobirama, you're up? Are you okay?

Haha, looking at his elder brother's sleepy appearance and thinking of his own tragic experience yesterday, Senju Tobirama gritted his teeth and said: Yes, I'm already up, brother, are you surprised?

Haha, how could that be? Big brother really believes in your ability to recover. After all, Tobirama is also a member of our Senju clan, haha.

Humph! Senju Tobirama looked at his eldest brother's face where he had beaten him up yesterday. Now there was only a faint red mark, and basically no trace of it could be seen. Then he felt his private parts that were aching slightly, and couldn't help but think angrily, "Yeah, we are both members of the Senju clan, so why can't my recovery ability compare to my eldest brother's?"

When the two returned home, their younger brother Banjian had already prepared the meal. Their father was sitting at the table, looking at them and said calmly: Now that you are here, sit down and eat. I have something to tell you.

Yes, father, I'm starting.

Senju Fusuma looked at the three children sitting at the table, eating obediently, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed. Time passed so quickly. He could still remember how Hashirama and the others looked when they were just born, but so many years had passed in the blink of an eye. Now his wife had passed away, and Watama was gone too. Only the four of them were left sitting here. Even Itama was this big now, and he was old enough to go to the battlefield.

I'm full, father.

Senju Fujian was brought back to his senses by the child's voice. He lowered his head and saw that his three children had all put down their bowls and chopsticks and were sitting in their seats obediently. Three pairs of eyes, two black and one red, were looking at him seriously from different directions, full of admiration and respect. Suddenly, he found it difficult to speak. After a long silence, looking at the puzzled eyes of the three children, Senju Fujian calmed down and said lightly: Winter is coming soon. The Takata family hired the ninja tribe to attack the Sato family's Shirakawa Village. The Sato family gave us a commission yesterday. Tomorrow the tribe will send people to Shirakawa Village to prepare for a war with the ninja hired by the Takata family.

Our mission is to prevent the ninjas hired by the Takata family from entering Shirakawa Village within the next thirty days. No matter who the enemy is, we must repel them. This is a long-term mission lasting up to a month. I will go with half of the clan's combat power, and Hashirama, you will go with me.

Yes, father.

Hashirama spoke calmly. He was not too worried. After all, it was something he had experienced once before. The opponent was the Shimura clan. After clearing the traps around them, they just waited in the village for a month. There was nothing to worry about.

Tobirama, you stay with the Great Elder to learn about clan affairs. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask the Great Elder directly. You have a good brain, so remember to learn more and observe more about the clan's affairs this time. I will test your results when I come back.

Yes, father.

Satisfied at the two children's serious answers, Senju Buddha pondered for a while, finally looked at the uneasy youngest son again, and said calmly: Banjian is already old enough to go to the battlefield, and it happens that we are short of people in the logistics and transportation of this mission. Banjian, you should go to Shirakawa Village with us and be responsible for the protection of logistics supplies. Your uncle Duolun will take care of you.

Senju Itama's face turned pale. Although he had a premonition when he heard his father's arrangement that he might go to the battlefield this time, when he thought about fighting against other ninjas, although he would not have to go to the front line and would be protecting the supplies in the back, if the enemy wanted to attack the supplies, he might not be able to come back alive.

Okay, okay, father.

No, I don't agree!

At the same time as Senju Itama's soft reply, Senju Hashirama's horrified voice rang out, "What's going on? Itama didn't go on this mission in his previous life! Why is it this time?!" Seeing his eldest son suddenly stand up from his seat and loudly refuse, Senju Hashirama couldn't help but jump with a vein on his forehead, and said viciously: Hashirama, what are you doing again? This is not a joke, this is an order from the clan leader, you are not qualified to refuse on behalf of Itama.

Listening to his father's harsh reprimand, feeling Itama's fearful and worried gaze and Tobirama's disapproving look, Senju Hashirama still insisted on his own opinion.

Father, this is a war mission. I can go with my kids at home! Banjian is still young. Are you going to let him go to the battlefield for the first mission? He is still responsible for the protection of logistics supplies. If he is attacked by the enemy, Banjian has no experience and strength to escape!

With a bang, amid the exclamations of Tobirama and Itama, Fukuma knocked Hashirama to the ground with one punch, and said sternly: Enough, Hashirama, you have to listen carefully, this is my arrangement as the clan leader, you have no right to refute, as a ninja of the Senju clan, Itama must obey the orders of the clan leader, and he cannot escape, if he really encounters an enemy, Itama must face the enemy head-on and defend the reputation of the Senju clan! Even if he died because of the mission, it is the honor of Itama as a ninja, you should not be here to make trouble, next time, it will not be such a simple punch.

Hashirama felt the pain on his cheek, heard Tobirama's voice trying to stop his father and Itama's frightened cries, and fell to the ground helplessly, dejected and silent. "He knew that his father did not dislike Itama, but as the clan leader he had to set an example for the clan members. If Itama could get easy and safe tasks just because he was the clan leader's child, then the other clan members would definitely disagree. For the stability of the clan, his father had to give the dangerous tasks to Itama, just like himself and Tobirama in the past. However, he could understand his father's arrangements for him, but he could not accept his father treating Tobirama and Itama like this, especially since the current situation had deviated from that of his previous life. If the future was changed, would Itama die because of this mission?"

Even if I have the memory of the future, what does it matter? Once the future changes, the memories I have become useless. I can't explain to my father what he knows about the future, nor can I stop Banjian from accepting this mission. Does it mean that even if I know the future, I still can't stop Banjian from leaving this time?

No, no, even if the future has been changed, it is not necessarily a bad thing. I did not participate in Itama's mission last time, but I am here this time. And if it is still Shimura, Itama will be fine as long as he stays in the village. Yes, nothing will happen to him, Itama, this time big brother will definitely protect you.
