Hashirama Reborn

Dong dong dong

There was a sound of light footsteps in the corridor. A white-haired young man was walking hurriedly in the quiet courtyard, and every step revealed his inner anxiety and uneasiness.

After turning a corner, Senju Tobirama stopped in front of a locked door. He took a deep breath, reached out his hand and gently knocked on the iron lock. The tinkling sound echoed in the empty courtyard, sounding particularly harsh.

Brother, what happened? Why are you grounded again?!

Senju Tobirama's voice was full of anxiety and confusion. He didn't understand why he heard that his brother, who had just been released from confinement, was locked up again just after he came back from training.

Inside the house, there was a slight noise, as if something was moving, and then a joyful voice came from behind the door: Tobirama, you're back?

Senju Tobirama paused. He thought that Hashirama was locked up because he had made another mistake, so he rushed over to find out the situation and then find a way to plead for mercy. But now, listening to his brother's tone, it doesn't seem like...

Senju Tobirama, who couldn't figure it out, decided to give up thinking and asked directly: Brother, what on earth happened?

Hashirama's smiling voice sounded: It's nothing, Tobirama, don't worry.

Senju Tobirama frowned, pounded the door in dissatisfaction, stirring up a cloud of dust, and said viciously: Speak quickly!

……

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and a helpless sigh came from inside the house: I refused the marriage with Mito.

Rejected the marriage?

Senju Tobirama stood there in a daze, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe his ears. After a while, he murmured: Brother, do you know what you are doing? Directly rejecting the decision of father and the elders, even if you...

I know.

Behind the door, Hashirama leaned against the wall, touched his nose helplessly, and interrupted his brother in a low voice: I know, Tobirama.

Know?! Senju Tobirama opened his mouth, anger rising in his heart. If you know why you still do this, have you ever considered the consequences?

Without waiting for questioning, the voice behind the door continued: But there are some things I cannot compromise on, and I am unwilling to compromise on.

Senju Tobirama took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He understood his brother's character. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. But he couldn't help asking: Is it because of that foreigner? You wanted to marry her, so you rejected the marriage with Mito-sister?

what?

Hashirama was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he remember the "imaginary" lover he had made up to deal with Tobirama. He immediately looked around with a guilty conscience, moved his body uncomfortably, and stammered: Of course not! I have my own considerations.

Senju Tobirama raised his eyebrows and listened to his brother's hesitant tone. He had already determined in his heart that it was because of that foreigner that his brother disobeyed the decision of his father and the elders.

This thought immediately made him feel dissatisfied with the unknown "sister-in-law". Before they even got married, her brother was put in solitary confinement for her. In the future...

Thinking of this, Senju Tobirama frowned, with a hint of questioning in his tone: Humph, if it's not because of her, what else could it be? !

Hashirama pursed his lips and spoke seriously: I've said it, Tobirama, it has nothing to do with him... I just can't accept the elders' practice of arbitrarily arranging other people's lives without regard for their wishes.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the irritation rising in his heart, Hashirama rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: I had the intention to resist for a long time, but it just happened that I ran into the marriage arrangement for the first time. This is really just a coincidence.

Senju Tobirama hesitated for a moment, but still whispered: In fact, Sister Mito is not bad, brother, why don’t you think about it. What good will it do to go against father and the elders?

Hashirama blinked and suddenly changed the subject: Tobirama, what do you think if I let you marry Mito?

Senju Tobirama was startled and subconsciously took two steps back. He shook his head frantically and replied very quickly: How is that possible? That's yours...

Just a hypothesis! Hashirama raised his voice and said calmly: It is very likely. If I firmly refuse, you, as the second son of the clan leader, can also become a candidate for marriage.

Senju Tobirama: ...!!

Hashirama continued in a voice that did not express his emotion: It's just a hypothesis, Tobirama. If the elders really ask you and Mito to complete the marriage, what do you think? She doesn't have any bad feelings towards you. Feelings can be formed with training.

Senju Tobirama's breathing stagnated and he fell silent, as if thinking about the possibility of this hypothesis. Then, his expression slowly distorted.

As if he already knew Tobirama's answer, Hashirama asked with a smile: Don't you want to?

Hashirama sighed, his tone full of helplessness: It's annoying, to be suddenly told that there is a marriage partner and you can't refuse.

Because it was the decision of the clan leader and elders, everyone subconsciously followed it, everything was for the family, but, can the clan leader and elders not be wrong? Is it really right to sacrifice individuals for the benefit of the family?

Senju Tobirama was stunned, but Hashirama continued. It was not just a marriage. For the benefit of the family, seriously injured members of the clan were given up on treatment, and the powerful female ninjas had to be used as reproductive tools to give birth to more powerful offspring.

There are many more of these things. For the survival of the family, everyone agreed that some of the clan members could be sacrificed. It was because of these sacrificed clan members that we survived.

Hashirama paused, his voice full of determination: But Tobirama, this is wrong, no one should be sacrificed, no matter what the reason.

We live in this world not to become anyone's victim. We should have the right to choose our own life and pursue our own happiness.

Hashirama clenched his fists, a fiery light flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists and said seriously: I want to change all this, Tobirama, please help me!

Senju Tobirama spoke calmly: Brother, we are ninjas. We can sacrifice for the mission and of course for the family. Your idea is too naive.

Really? What if one day, it is Banjian who is sacrificed?

! !

Senju Tobirama's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously showed an aggressive expression like an enraged leopard. After a while, he slowly relaxed and said in a hoarse voice: You are just changing the concept, brother.

Hashirama was stunned, lowered his eyes in disappointment, and curled up in depression. Even his younger brother couldn't change Tobirama's idea? It seemed that he could only give up the idea of ​​getting Tobirama's support for the time being.

But... I will help you, nothing should happen to Banjian, he... he should be fine.
