[Comprehensive] Mirror of Death and Life

"Patriarch, Senna-sama has completed the mission and has withdrawn from the western battlefield with the clan. It is estimated that they will arrive at the clan in three days."

"I see. What else?"

"Uh... Madara-sama went to support the people who fought with Senshou..."

"Nonsense!" As I expected, the Great Elder next to me immediately scolded me coldly when he heard the words, and then turned to me, "Please send an order to Madara immediately, let him come back!"

I propped my cheeks and ignored the great elder who turned to me. I just tilted my head and stared at the sweating clansman standing in front of me. He seemed very disturbed by the great elder's anger.I yawned, I waved him down, and didn't give him instructions like the Great Elder asked

The clansman was stunned, stood still, and glanced at the great elder.

I yawned again: "Why, I can't control you anymore?"

Only then did he wake up, and realized how disrespectful his reaction was to me, the patriarch, and hurriedly bowed and retreated in a panic.

As soon as the wooden door of the task room was closed, the elder slammed the table, shaking the scrolls on the table and rolling them around, and one of the red ones fell directly to the ground.

"Patriarch!" His brows were so erect that they almost rushed into his hair, and his roar made my eardrums vibrate and buzz.

Picking out my ears, I kept the posture of supporting my face unchanged: "Isn't it good for Madara to go to support? It will definitely bring the clansman back safely, and maybe kill a few more thousand hands."

"Ridiculous! How can you let it happen. At this time, you should reduce the hatred with the Qianshou family..." Halfway through the elder's speech, he suddenly realized what he was talking about, and his voice stopped abruptly.

I sneered, knowing the reason for his choking, and looking at the other elders, those who looked at the ceiling looked at the ceiling, those who looked at the ground looked at the ground, and those who pretended to be looking at the scroll, but no one was willing to look this way glance.

They are probably also accustomed to the quarrel between me and the Great Elder.

Two years have passed, and it has been two years since I took over the position of patriarch from my second brother.

A lot can happen in two years.For example, I found that my kaleidoscope has no side effects and has new abilities. For example, Quanna has also opened a kaleidoscope. For example, more and more families gather around Senjuzhuma, so many that even Uchiha can’t help being moved...

In the past two years, Senshou Zhuma has never given up on his dream. He has been writing to me and repeating the words he has repeated countless times. It is undoubtedly some chicken soup in his heart to let go of hatred and join hands to create peace and glory. From the indifference to the faint expectation now.They have all seen how the other families allied with the Senju family have developed rapidly in the past two years. With Senju as the center, they have established a small ninja alliance, including Uzumaki Hyuga and others, to help each other and never civil war. The death toll of the family dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Uchiha, who was also a large population consumption family, could only stare enviously at the side.

And for the declaration that I don't forgive Qianshou, the tribe also applauded at the beginning and now winks at each other and curls their lips silently.

Recently, the private calls for peace in the clan have become louder and louder, and many people in the elders group have begun to want to negotiate with Qian Shou.But these are not enough, for me these are far from enough.To form an alliance with Qianshou, you must not only have the determination to let go of hatred, but also have awareness.Once you accept peace, it doesn’t matter if you are treated unfairly or feared by other families. At that time, Uchiha will have no chance to separate, because at that time, there will be no other way to leave the alliance except to be attacked by other groups. .

So I hope that the people of the tribe will have the courage to break the boat, and let them put down their pride. I know that under my own suppression, they can only swallow the proposal of supporting and forming an alliance with Thousand Hands. I also know that the harder the pressure is now, the rebound will be stronger soon will be bigger.Only in this way, when they regret it in the future, they can't push the alliance to anyone, because it will be their own choice and their own request——

I, the patriarch, persuaded them, but the clansmen couldn't stop Qianshou even if they wanted to stop them wholeheartedly.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneer again.Most people, including the Great Elder, are so eager for peace and hope to form an alliance with Qianshou. This is a good thing. Since it is a good thing, don't wait until later to regret it.

It is easier to let go of hatred for a while, but it is very difficult to let go of hatred forever.

It's like a marriage. If there are any problems that cannot be completely resolved before marriage, it will be even more troublesome after marriage, because the accumulation of getting along with each other will lead to the accumulation of countless small things, and the estrangement will become deeper and deeper, and eventually it will explode and be irreversible.

——If there is anything, it is better to settle it before forming an alliance.

While I was thinking about this, the Great Elder collected his emotions, regained his composure, and found an excuse for his slip of the tongue just now: "After all, the Qianshou Clan is different from two years ago, and their patriarch's reputation has been getting worse recently. The higher it is, and there is news that his wedding with Uzumaki Mito is imminent, then Uchiha’s situation will become more and more difficult.”

"Of course I know this, but isn't it you who claimed to never forgive Senshou and asked me not to accept the letter of reconciliation between Senshou Zhujian, Grand Elder?"

He blushed because of my rhetorical question, and his breath became short of breath again: "I, I was also... alas... I was too impulsive at the time, because the former patriarch died at the hands of Qianshou Zhujian and his brother. "

Just like before, he used his second brother as a shield, and I, like usual, stopped chasing and beating him after hearing the words "former patriarch".

The Great Elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief thinking that I hadn't noticed, and when he looked up, he found that I was still staring at him, his wrinkled cheeks like orange peel trembled: "What's wrong?"

I looked away: "It's nothing, even if you want to reconcile, everyone will not agree."

Some people opened their mouths to speak to me, but were dismissed by the elder with their eyes, and some people muttered unwillingly after being dismissed: "Isn't it the patriarch, don't you agree..."

It's quiet, but clear in a quiet room.

The atmosphere became awkward, and even the speaker himself did not expect his soliloquy to be so clear.

I pretended not to hear this sentence, stood up: "I'm going out for a walk."

When the door was pushed open, several people behind him were obviously relieved.

Isn't it the patriarch, don't you agree...

The questioning from my tribe just now still rings in my ears, I walked slowly in the warm sunshine with my hands behind my back, my broken mother hanging on my waist, a group of noisy children were blowing past me like the wind, but they suddenly stopped beside me, bound their hands and feet to me Bow down and salute.

I didn't pay attention to them, I waved my hand and walked straight in front of the little devil, but I was thinking in my mind, since when did the clansman be so quiet in front of me?

I can't think of an answer, just like I can't think of why I can't forgive Qianshou myself.

I can't forgive them, and I fully agree with Senju Zhuma's proposal, knowing the feasibility of the ninja village he said.

In the past two years, not only he has been writing to me, but I have also occasionally responded to a few letters. A preliminary ninja village system has gradually formed in the debate between me and him.

From accepting the system for performing tasks, to the daily management of the village, and even the responsibility of Senju and Uchiha, we have had quarrels in letters.

Senjujuma believes that once the two clans form an alliance to form a village, no one belongs to which clan. Everyone is from the same village, and the interests of the village should be the most important thing, not the clan.But I think it is difficult to change the long-standing concept. We have been instilled with the idea of ​​family supremacy since we were young.

So he wanted to set up two supreme leaders, the patriarchs of Senju and Uchiha respectively.This proposal was rejected by me. I think there can only be one village leader. Two people will accelerate the catalysis of conflicts and selfishness. If you really want people from both ethnic groups to have a sense of belonging to the newly established village, it is better to set up a special village. The guard team is composed of all the families in the village.At that time, if there is another powerful enemy invading, let everyone fight side by side for a few times, and the barrier will be eliminated faster...

Of course, these are just our temporary ideas, and we haven't even formed an alliance yet. The ninja village in the fantasy is just an idea on paper between Senjuzhu and me.

Speaking of which, Madara didn't know about Senjujuma and I being at odds with each other on the surface, but secretly passed the song in private, and neither did anyone else, only Quanna noticed the clue.He was very angry at the beginning, but after a mission with Senshou for some reason, he figured it out, stopped grabbing me and telling me about the "irreconcilable hatred between the two races", and instead helped me and Senshouzhu The communication between them is covered.I also asked him why, how did Quanna answer me at that time?

"I still hate the Senju Clan very much, but I have to admit that peace is the general trend. Since there are more and more ninja families around the Senju Clan, it will only be Uchiha who will suffer if they continue to confront them. Why not take advantage of it now? When Uchiha was still one of the most powerful families in the ninja world, he reached an alliance with Senju to share the greatest power." When saying these words, Quanna narrowed her eyes.He is obviously a young man who is not even 20 years old, but he shows the expression I have seen on the face of the Fire Nation daimyo.

Thinking about my future plans, and thinking about Quan Nai's performance in the past two years, I feel more at ease.Madara is good, but when it comes to playing power, neither he nor I are as good as Quanna.

Quanna is suitable for sitting in the room and strategizing, while Madara is more suitable for fighting on the battlefield. Senju Bashima has shown his appreciation for his strength countless times, and claimed that when he sees Madara on the battlefield, both of them will be more excited involuntarily.

If it weren't for knowing that he has a fiancée named Uzumaki Mito, and Senju Hashirama himself likes that fiancée very much, I would really worry about my brother's chastity.

It's a good thing Senju Hashirama is not gay, otherwise I would fight to form an alliance and break up the family decline, and I would kill Senju Hashirama to prevent him from playing with Madara's feelings in the future.

Speaking of which, Madara is also 19 years old, and there are many girls in the family who like him, why hasn't there been any news of him being with any girl until now?Not only him, but also Quan Nai, not to mention me, the only consolation is that Sister Yingzi still left her blood for the second brother.

Thinking of the child named Uchiha Kagami, I couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. Sister Yingzi said in a solemn tone: "I hope the child will be as strong as you in the future, and don't want to die as early as his father." My idol has a heavy burden.

Three days later, Quan Nai returned to the village from the front line as promised.

He returned to the clan on his front foot, and Spot on his back foot also returned.Madara was wearing a black combat robe, covered with refined iron armor, with long hair blown up like a hedgehog, full of vigor and majesty.Every time he came down from the battlefield, he looked like this. On the contrary, once he was detained in the clan, he looked sleepy within a few days, as if he would suffocate if there was no fight.

According to Quan Nai's evaluation, Brother Ban is really a fighting madman.

After receiving the quest scroll thrown by Madara, I haven’t said anything yet. The Elder next to me has already sprayed with displeasure: “After completing the quest, you should return to the clan immediately. This is the basic common sense for a ninja. Why don’t you say so?” Didn't say hello, just ran to other places?"

Madara clasped her arms around her chest, squinting her eyes slightly, and the relief on her face was replaced by displeasure: "If I hadn't arrived, the tribe would be in danger. Their enemies are not only the Senju Clan but also Chiki Hinata."

Hearing the name of the number one master of the Hyuga Clan, the Great Elder was speechless for a moment.But he quickly reacted, adjusted his mood and continued to criticize the work: "Then you can't do whatever you want. The meaning of the Ninja Code is that you have to abide by it. Otherwise, why did the Sage of the Six Paths stipulate the code while passing down the Ninja sect. Completely Acting according to your mood is not what a strong ninja should look like." After speaking, he still didn't forget to look at me, as if saying that it was you who caused Madara to fail.

The Great Elder has always thought so, which is one of the reasons why he and I are getting more and more at odds with each other.If you want me to say that Madara is born with this temperament, it doesn't matter whether he attracts me or not. Of course, I don't deny that with my "bad example" in front of him, he has learned to be more rebellious than others.

Just like now, Madara looked at the great elder with the same mocking expression as me: "The strong can do whatever they want, but the weak are bound because they cannot break the rules. The strong should override the rules."

"Nonsense! The Sage of the Six Paths was so strong in the past, but he still didn't fully abide by the rules he specified. It is precisely because of the power of the strong that he needs the constraints of the rules. Otherwise, if every top ninja is as free as you , The ninja world doesn't know what kind of chaos it will be like!"

"That's because he's also a restricted guy, and that's the saddest thing..." Madara wanted to continue, but I interrupted——

"enough."

As soon as these words came out, both he and the Great Elder fell silent at the same time.I glanced at the other elders—they withdrew their appreciative eyes under my gaze—and then looked at Madara: "The quest scroll is fine, you can go back."

He was choked by me, although he was still full of dissatisfaction, but in the end he didn't say anything, turned around and left, and when he walked out, he slammed the wooden door loudly.

"What kind of attitude is this!" The Great Elder patted the table again, he caught my gaze out of the corner of his eye, and was even angrier this time he directly smashed the table with his fist, "If you don't learn what is good, you will learn what is bad!"

I raised my eyebrows, pretending not to understand who the bad in his words was alluding to.

Fortunately, the Great Elder didn't want to tear himself apart with me at this time. He was lucky and picked up the scroll that he knocked off the table just now, and let the next person in.

——It was Uchiha Mama who came in after Madara to hand over the task.

Or maybe he didn't come to hand in the task. I propped my head up to watch him stride towards me and slapped a letter in front of me, just like his grandpa just slapped the table with strength and aura: "Patriarch, you have to continue to reject Qian Shou A request from Hashirama?!"

Unlike my stance against alliances, Uchiha Masama is one of the few people in the clan who dares to say that we should form an alliance with Senju.On this point, he is more courageous than his grandfather. At least the old man thought about it for more than a year, opened his mouth in front of me several times, and finally failed to speak out his support.

Glancing down at the envelope on the table, the familiar handwriting of Qianshou Zhujian jumped into his eyes. It was still as grand and chic as before. The only difference was that the thickness of the envelope was a little thicker than usual.

I squeezed it with my hand and found that besides the soft letter paper, there were also hard cards inside.Without avoiding it, I opened the envelope in front of Uchiha Mama and the elders, and poured out a stack of letter paper and a greeting card.

No, that's not a greeting card, that's an invitation.

On the red card sprinkled with gold powder, the black writing is particularly obvious. It says Senju Bashima sincerely invites the Uchiha patriarch and his clan to attend his wedding.

If I remember correctly, the bride is Uzumaki Mito?time flies.If Uzumaki Sakura hadn't died, the second brother and her child would probably be running around all over the place now.

"Patriarch, in this way, the Uzumaki clan and Senshou are completely bound. Their strength has been strengthened again. Are you still unwilling to let go of your hatred and shake hands with Senjujuma?!" Uchiha Mama saw me not Speaking, anxious, urged me to say.

I slowly raised my eyes and was very displeased with his tone: "Is this how you talk to the patriarch?"

He choked.His grandfather taught me this sentence in the past. At that time, I was unscrupulous in front of the second brother, the former patriarch. The second brother didn't say anything, but he couldn't get used to it.Now the same words are thrown in his grandson's face by me, it's really a turn of events.

Looking at the green and white faces of the Great Elder and Uchiha Mama, I leaned back, put my hands on the back of the chair, and raised the corners of my mouth to deliberately show contempt and mocking eyes.

Uchiha Mama's face no longer fluctuated, but slowly turned red: "You..." He clenched his fist, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "So what if you are the patriarch... It is the wish of all the clansmen!"

The author has something to say: Brother Jing, who is controlled by the younger brother every day, thinks too much today as always.

Senju Zhuma shouted in the background with a desperate face: The person I like is Mito!Madara is just an opponent I admire!
