Hashirama Reborn

Just as Senju Fusuma guessed, while Senju was trying to find ways to strengthen the defense, the Uchiha clan on the other side was also planning to attack Shirakawa Village as soon as possible. After all, there was not much time left to complete the mission, and there just happened to be an extra holder of the two-magatama Sharingan on their side, plus Senju Fusuma's eldest son, Senju Hashirama, who was seriously injured. The other side should be busy rescuing him. This is a good opportunity to attack!

This is the situation, so, Madara, how long will it take you to fully adapt to the Sharingan?

Feeling the eager gazes from his father and the surrounding tribesmen, Uchiha Madara lowered his eyes slightly and replied calmly: Father, it may be because of the two magatama, I feel that the chakra consumption is too great. If I want to recover to the best condition to fight, it will take about three days.

Three days? Then we can only wait for a few days. After all, the combat power of the two magatama cannot be underestimated. It would be a pity to give up. Yes. Listening to the whispers of the clan members around him, Uchiha Madara was unmoved. "In fact, after opening the Sharingan, Uchiha Madara almost immediately adapted to it. In order to buy more time for the seriously injured Hashirama to receive treatment safely, he deliberately changed his words. Senju Hashirama is the only opponent that Uchiha Madara recognizes. Even if there will be a battle with Hashirama in the future, Uchiha Madara also hopes to fight Hashirama in the best condition, instead of running to attack Hashirama because he is seriously injured like now."

Seeing that the tribesmen around him seemed to agree with what he said and left to rest, Uchiha Madara breathed a sigh of relief. That was great, at least Hashirama could have a few more days to recuperate. He was so concerned about the seriously injured Hashirama opposite that Uchiha Madara did not realize that his worried expression had been noticed by his father in the distance.

At night, thick clouds blocked the moonlight and Shirakawa Village was extremely quiet, as if the villagers had fallen asleep. The gate at the entrance of the village was closed and a dozen Senju people holding torches were patrolling outside.

Uchiha Madara hid in the shadow of the woods, relying on the extraordinary insight of his Sharingan to observe the village opposite. Unfortunately, the patrolling Senju were very cautious and had no intention of communicating at all, making it impossible for Uchiha Madara to infer the situation of Hashirama in the village. However, judging from the intensity of the patrols, Hashirama should still be alive and may be recuperating, so the defense outside the village would have such strength.

That's great, as long as Hashirama is still alive, with the vitality of the Senju clan, as long as Hashirama is given time, he will definitely recover. After confirming Hashirama's survival, Uchiha Madara finally retreated slowly with peace of mind, and under the cover of the woods, he quickly returned to the temporary Uchiha clan's territory.

Where have you been, Madara?

Uchiha Tajima, who had been blocking the entrance to the clan territory, stared at Uchiha Madara who had just run back from the woods with a grim expression. "As early as when Madara said that it would take three days to adapt to the Sharingan, Uchiha Tajima discovered something was wrong. No one knows Ban's talent better than himself. It is impossible that it would take that long to adapt. But Madara said that? Why? Madara is definitely not afraid of war, so what does he want to do with these three days?"

Uchiha Tajima looked at Uchiha Madara who looked flustered but had no words to explain. A bad thought made his face completely gloomy. His mind kept showing the recent abnormalities of Madara: "accurate information from unknown sources, the abnormal battle with Senju Hashirama on the battlefield, the Sharingan that successfully killed the Senju Hashirama in the end, the gaze that stared at the Senju leaving, the deliberate delay of the attack time, and the unexplained departure tonight". All the abnormalities can now be connected into a complete line. Uchiha Tajima said murderously:

Madara, was the information you got a few days ago told to you by this kid named Hashirama? I'm afraid that you opened your Sharingan today not because of fear, right? No, it was fear, but it was not because of death, but because you thought you had killed your friend with your own hands? Did you deliberately delay the attack time of the clan to give the kid time to get treatment? Did you leave just now to confirm whether the kid was alive or dead?

Uchiha Madara's face became paler and paler as his father Tajima asked. The fact that he could not refute made him stand there stiffly. Looking at his child's irrefutable look, Uchiha Tajima's anger could no longer be suppressed. He stretched out his right fist and knocked the child who had made him proud to the ground. He roared in a low voice: Uchiha Madara! Are you crazy! You are an Uchiha, and the one opposite is a Senju! Uchiha and Senju are enemies! Your eldest brother was killed by the Senju! How dare you two have private contact! You opened the Sharingan because of a Senju! Now you are even going to sacrifice the interests of the family for him! Do you want to betray the clan! Uchiha Madara!

Looking at his eldest son who was lying on the ground with his hands covering his cheeks and clenching his fists in silence, Uchiha Tajima spoke in a hoarse voice with murderous intent: "Bara, you have always been my proudest son. There is absolutely no friendship between the Senju and the Uchiha clan. I cannot watch you being deceived or even hurt by that Senju in the future! I cannot watch you being regarded as a traitor by the clan. Think about the glory of the Uchiha clan and your younger brother Izuna who is waiting for you to return to the Uchiha clan."

I will give you a chance. As soon as tomorrow morning comes, I will lead the Uchiha to launch a direct attack. Don't try to find any excuses. I want you to kill Hashirama Senju with your own hands, cut off his head and bring it to me, so as to defend your honor as an Uchiha!

No, father!

Hearing Uchiha Tajima's order, Uchiha Madara suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes. The strong emotional stimulation made the Sharingan appear uncontrollably, and the two magatama inside were spinning. "I can't do it! I can never kill Hashirama! Why does my father force me? Hashirama would never hurt me! If Hashirama hadn't ended the war in the daytime in a suicidal way, then I would have been the one who died! How could Hashirama, who would choose death for me, hurt me!" But looking at his father's murderous eyes, Uchiha Madara couldn't say these words. If his father knew that Hashirama took the initiative to get injured for him, would his father tell the Senju clan about this? At that time, Hashirama would be regarded as a traitor to the Senju clan.

Seeing his eldest son still trying to resist, Uchiha Tajima finally couldn't control his killing intent and poured it on his child: Uchiha Madara! This is an order! I order you as the head of the Uchiha clan! Kill Senju Hashirama tomorrow! I want you to defend your honor as an Uchiha with your actions! Don't let me down, and don't let Izuna down with you!

Thinking of his younger brother Izumi's admiring and concerned eyes when he was leaving, thinking of the expectations of his father and the clan for his training, thinking of the years of war between the Senju and Uchiha, the sadness of the clan members who had lost their loved ones, all kinds of thoughts lingered in his heart. Bathed in his father's murderous intent, Uchiha Madara finally gave up resisting, and just looked at his father with a blank expression. A line of transparent tears silently ran down his face, and he answered woodenly: Yes, clan leader.
