Hashirama Reborn

Senju Butsuma took Itama and several elders to discuss the practice of shadow clones, and asked Hashirama and Tobirama to go back first. However, until he returned home, Hashirama was still confused, not knowing why it turned out like this. He thought that he would be punished by his father and the elders for interrupting the elders' conversation, but he didn't expect that everyone had passed by this matter. Instead, the chief elder not only praised the three brothers, but also suggested that Itama stay in the clan and don't have to go out on missions?

However, thinking that his younger brother would not have to face dangerous battles in the future, Hashirama could not help but cheer loudly: That's great, Tobirama, you and Itama can stay in the clan from now on, just leave the mission to me, and you just stay at home!

Don't think too much, brother. Senju Tobirama calmly interrupted his brother's unrealistic thoughts and said with a blank face: This time it is because your awakened Wood Release is of great significance to the clan. In order to appease father and you, the elders made an exception and agreed to let Itama stay in the clan. Even if I need to perfect the Shadow Clone Technique, I still have to continue on the mission. After all, if two of the clan leader's three children can stay in the clan without facing the risk of missions, the clan will not agree.

Tobirama, don't you need to stay in the clan to perfect your ninjutsu? Why are you asked to go on a mission? And Itama, isn't it because they need someone to train the clan members and Itama happens to be very proficient in the Shadow Clone Technique...?

Seeing his brother's disbelieving expression, Senju Tobirama couldn't help but cover his face with his hands. Brother, you didn't really believe the words of the Great Elder, did you? !

However, looking at his brother's bewildered look, Senju Tobirama finally couldn't help but groan in pain: Brother! Those who can skillfully use the Shadow Clone Technique, even if not you and me, the dozens of Senju people who went on missions with you, who can't take the time to teach? The reason why he specifically proposed to let the disabled members of the tribe practice the Shadow Clone Technique is just because he can recommend the disabled Itama.

When my father and the others really notify everyone, since the disabled relatives in my family can benefit from learning Shadow Clone, those who stay in the clan’s board room for the same reason will not be so conspicuous. In addition, Shadow Clone is mostly used for intelligence reconnaissance and will not affect other people’s tasks, so most of the clan members will not raise any objections.

It is simply impossible for me to stay in the clan and not go on missions. Not to mention that the Shadow Clone Technique needs to be kept secret and I cannot let everyone know the reason why I stay in the clan. Just because I am the clan leader's son, it is impossible for me to stay in the clan when Banjian no longer needs to go on missions. The tribe members can accept the disabled Banjian staying in the clan for their equally disabled relatives, but they will never agree to let me stay. As the clan leader's children, we enjoy more resources than other children in the clan, so we must pay more for the family.

After listening to Tobirama's explanation, Hashirama could not help but squat in the corner in depression. He originally thought that his two younger brothers could stay safely in the clan land in the future, but he did not expect that only Itama could be safe because of his disability, while Tobirama had to go on various dangerous missions like in his previous life. Moreover, Tobirama was still young and had not developed various powerful ninjutsu to protect himself like in his previous life. What if he encountered a powerful enemy at a young age this time? He was only proficient in wood escape and fairy technique, and there was no way to teach Tobirama!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his brother's situation was too dangerous. Worried about him, Hashirama decided to find a way to help his brother learn some powerful ninjutsu to save his life.

Although brain-intensive ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God and Multiplying Explosive Talisman can only be figured out by Tobirama himself in the future, ninjutsu like water jutsu already exists in the current ninja world. You should know that in his previous life, Tobirama was so powerful in water jutsu that he was privately called the Master of Sea jutsu by his clansmen. This shows how compatible Tobirama is with water jutsu.

Now that he knew the ninjutsu that was suitable for his younger brother to learn, he had to find a way to acquire some water-style ninjutsu. Unfortunately, most of the Senju clan knew earth-style ninjutsu, and there were no water-style ninjutsu for Tobirama to learn. Thinking of his relatives, the Uzumaki clan, who lived by the sea, Hashirama was a little absent-minded, thinking, if it really didn't work, why not go to the Uzumaki clan to ask for some water-style ninjutsu?

No, no, my father had originally planned to marry into the Uzumaki clan, and I would never be with Mito in this life. Since I want to avoid suspicion, I can only avoid the Uzumaki clan temporarily.

But apart from the Uzumaki clan, there are no other ninja clans near the Land of Fire that are good at water ninjutsu. Even if there are, they won't teach it to me for nothing.

Huh! !

Hashirama suddenly shuddered, and a figure who definitely possessed water-style ninjutsu and might be able to teach him flashed through his mind, Madara!

Yes, yes, Madara is an Uchiha. Uchiha's Sharingan must have copied a lot of water-style ninjutsu over the years, so Madara must know it! But how can I convince Madara to teach me?

Since we parted at Shirakawa Village, I haven't heard any news about Madara. I wonder if Madara has returned to the Uchiha clan? Or is he still on a mission somewhere else? Is he injured?

Thinking of his friends whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Hashirama couldn't help but want to go to the Minamiga River to take a look. What if Madara had already returned? What if Madara also happened to go to the Minamiga River?

Before Hashirama could sneak away, Senju Butsuma came back with Senju Itama. Seeing that they were in good spirits, Itama's stay in the clan should be a sure thing. Hashirama finally felt relieved, at least Itama would not face too many dangers on the battlefield in the future.

Everything was quiet. Hashirama was lying on the bed tossing and turning thinking about Madara's situation. At this moment, there was a gentle knock at the door. Sensing the chakra of Itama at the door, Hashirama immediately opened the door. Senju Itama raised his hand to cover his brother's mouth with a guilty conscience, and just pointed outside the door. After a moment, Hashirama carried his brother to a secluded place outside the house, and placed Itama on a stone bench. Looking at his brother's somewhat tangled expression, Hashirama did not urge him. He just sat cross-legged next to his brother, waiting quietly.

Senju Itama was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice with some entanglement: Brother Hashirama, everyone in the clan knows that I encountered the Uchiha in the woods, and my legs were disabled because of that Uchiha. Seeing his brother suddenly turning his head to comfort him, Itama smiled slightly and shook his head slowly, "It's okay, Brother Hashirama, I'm very happy to be able to help you. Besides, although my legs are disabled, I saved my life. I don't have to go out on missions in the future, right?"

Brother Hashirama, I asked you out because I have something else to tell you. I haven't told anyone about this. In fact, before I met the Uchiha who hurt me, I met another wave of Uchiha, and it was because of one of them that I was able to escape alive.

I think that Uchiha let me go on purpose because of Hashirama-kun, so I want to ask you, Hashirama-kun, do you know the Uchiha named Madara?

Seeing his brother's face suddenly stiffen, Senju Itama already knew the answer, and did not force his brother to answer or question why his brother had contact with hostile ninjas. Itama simply told his brother the whole story of how the Uchiha deliberately hurt himself in order to let him go.

Itama had no idea why he told this information to his brother. He had clearly decided to keep it in his heart forever and not tell anyone.

Maybe it was to repay the life-saving grace of Uchiha Madara? Or maybe it was because he didn't want his brother to have any regrets in the future. In order to save Hashirama's brother, he did not hesitate to be so cruel to himself. The Uchiha named Madara and Hashirama brother must be very good friends.

After saying what he wanted to say, Itama finally felt a lot more relaxed: Brother Hashirama, although I don’t know what your relationship with that Uchiha is, I promise that I will keep this matter in my heart forever and will never let anyone know.

Senju Hashirama remained silent, and after a while he whispered: It's too late, Itama, let me take you back to rest.

Okay, Hashirama-san.

Looking at his younger brother obediently covering himself with the quilt and preparing to close his eyes and go to sleep, Hashirama whispered: Thank you, Itama.
