[NARUTO][Pillar Madara] His Country

Poured some wine.

"Forget it."

He said it to his friends, but also to himself.

"Just listen to the patriarch. It's been like this all along."

"I didn't tell Quanna about Kaleidoscope Sharingan."

This was the first sentence Quan Zuo said after sitting down.Madara put down his pen and folded the letterhead on the case: "Why did you suddenly say that..."

"After all, he came to ask me first." Uchiha's family elder sighed, "The situation has evolved to the point it is today, and I feel very sorry."

"Quina is sometimes more stubborn than me." Madara said plainly, and there was no ups and downs when he mentioned Quanna's name.Gwonzaku looked at Madara, and couldn't be sure whether that face was familiar all along, or reshaped by sorrow: there was something indescribable about Madara that made him feel instinctively afraid.

Like the man has decided something.

So he chose a more subdued topic.

"Jiadai asked the old man to persuade you. She said that you haven't eaten anything for several days..." He said, pushing the rice ball in his hand forward, "There are more difficult times ahead. Eat as much as you want .”

Madara smiled.

"You didn't come here to make me eat, did you?"

This is a bit sharper.The people before the right to estimate will not get better treatment, it is estimated that Madara is being polite for the sake of their relationship.He pondered for a moment and said:

"Probably what I want to say is similar to the people who came to visit before."

"Is it because of lack of courage," Madara raised his eyebrows, "or because he can no longer trust me?"

"Because there is a smoother road in front of us." Quan Zuo said slowly.In his heart, he thinks that Madara's proposal might be better—ninjas are a combat group, and it is reasonable to look for the next battlefield; but most people don't think so.The war has lasted too long and blood has been shed too much. When people see the dawn of peace, people will instinctively seek ways to preserve themselves.What's more... He sighed in his heart, and took out the letter that was delivered today from his pocket: "This is the document for the Qianshou family's peace negotiation."

"... Has it been sent again?"

"And a lot of people know about it."

Spotted nodded.He looked relieved instead.

"Senju Bashima is still the same, innocent and straightforward. The troublesome thing is his younger brother Feima... hmph."

Quan Zuo looked at Madara in surprise, "What are you?"

"I still have unfinished business." Madara said, handing the letter on the table to Quansaku, "There is no difference between accepting the alliance and surrendering in this way. You must let Senju know the power of Uchiha."

"Hey...you don't mean to..."

"The rest is up to you."

Madara is categorical.

Gonzaku opened his mouth and closed it again.He seemed to want to ask what Madara was thinking, but in the end he just grabbed the letter in front of him with an almost rude gesture.

"I'll keep it for you for the time being." Quan Zuo said, his voice trembling, "It's best... don't let me have a chance to open it."

Madara was noncommittal.His face looked very pale in the light of the room.And far away.

Madara dreamed about things from her childhood.

It's amazing how things that people thought they had forgotten sneak back into the present time in the form of dreams.In that dream, he was standing by the river, surrounded by a dejected Hashirama (by the way, there was still a strange mushroom head in Hashirama at that time).Back then he was blunt enough to try to comfort another person.

The only way... probably is not to hide anything from the other party, and drink sworn wine with the other party.But this is impossible. *

Because no one can see through what other people really think. *

Together they looked at the boulders bouncing on the gentle river.He heard Hashirama ask:

Is there... a way to be honest with each other? *

The dream was disturbed by a sudden noise.He opened his eyes, and heard the slight and chaotic sound of footsteps running away outside the courtyard wall.

Like a bunch of kids.

He sat up and realized that he had fallen asleep lying on the desk.It was probably because of his uncomfortable posture that he had such a strange dream... He stood up, opened the door and walked to the veranda, and saw a stone bound with cloth strips fall into the courtyard.

He stooped to pick it up and unfolded it.There was a line of crooked words written on it with charcoal sticks.

Please, the Patriarch, don't move away.

"...Really, kid."

He said in a low voice, and suddenly bent his back, his fingers trembling almost convulsively.The severe pain came again, but this time it was not a disease.He let the cloth strip fall to the ground, and retched reflexively, but there was nothing in his empty stomach.

Things that really cause nausea cannot be spit out.

It's really ugly...

Madara thought, and slowly stood up after enduring the pain.A black owl fell down from the opposite tree at some point, watching him silently, like a ghost returning from the eternal world.Madara watched it, not afraid, but felt some secret relief.

Tomorrow, he and Zhu Jian will have a battle.

And that was their last battle.

Sonohachi

Hashirama saw a black cat sauntering across the road in front of him in the morning.When Tomona said "I have something urgent" and called me to the meeting place of the clan, the strap of the clogs broke.When he sat in the chair, the teacup he had used for many years broke in two for no reason.

"...I feel like something really bad is going to happen today."

There was an inevitable depression between the pillars.Fortunately, his depression didn't happen in a day or two, at least both Toikama and Senju Momoka could turn a blind eye to it, and even handed him the documents sent from the daimyo without sympathy.

"It's really not a good thing." Fei Jian crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Even you said that..." Hashirama resumed his sitting posture, and stretched out his hand to unfold the document.Looking at it, his brows frowned.

Finally, he closed the paper and looked at the elites of the Qianshou family in the room.

"What do you think?"

"The daimyo of Fire Nation has already begun to want to deal with ninjas." Senju Momoka said, "He is very smart and directly ordered us to subdue Uchiha, and he can reap the benefits from it."

"It's really not doing us any good."

"But if we do nothing..."

"Will the daimyo attack us?" The youngest Senju couldn't hold back, "We just helped him win the war!"

Tomona snorted through his nose: "Naive." He looked around at everyone in the room coldly, "Under the contract of employment, daimyo uses us, and we use daimyo. Loyalty is only within the limit of the statute makes sense."

"Tobima, don't speak so harshly." Hashirama came out to smooth things over, "The daimyo of the Land of Fire wants to gain prestige, this is his position. But," he changed the subject, "We cannot accept such unreasonable task."

"How do you think about it?" Taohua asked.

"Let Uchiha side with us."

"Brother!" Fei Jian slammed the table, "It's already this time, and you're still saying such irresponsible words?"

However, Hashirama did not succumb to Tobuma's righteous opinion as usual: "I have always been serious about this matter. The documents for the alliance were sent over yesterday."

Toboma immediately scanned the room with stern eyes.A certain young ninja sitting by the window suddenly turned his gaze guiltily.

"Tobuma, I thought we'd talked about this many times," Hashirama said.He rarely suppressed his smile, so he looked very serious.

If you are familiar with Senjujuma, many people will not realize that he is the man who bears the title of "Ninja God". Compared with his prestige and martial arts, Senjujuma seems too much. Be gentle, especially when Tomona severely reprimands his elder brother for not approving official documents or going out to gamble, etc. Sometimes the young ninjas of the Senju family feel that their patriarch has always been like this and has no dignity.

But Tomama knew how stubborn Hashirama was.Although he has always felt that what Hashirama is obsessed with is unreasonable-if he only pursues peace, then Sensei Mori can find many more suitable allies than the Uchiha clan; The quelling of wars and the alliance with the Uchiha are linked together, as if it's not that clan - not that person can't do it.

This makes no sense.

He became angry and wanted to say something, but Hashirama had already raised his hand to restrain his speech.

"It's not because of the Uchiha. If today, the daimyo asked Senshou to exterminate another clan, I would make the same judgment. If the daimyo of the country of fire is only afraid that this ninja will cause uneasiness, then it's up to us Control it. If someone from the opposing ninja clan is instigating the war, then go and kill this person. Now that the war has subsided, we no longer have any need to continue fighting."

He spoke so firmly that everyone was overwhelmed by Hashirama's attitude for a moment, and even Tobuma couldn't make any further comments.After a while, a young ninja spoke in a very low voice:

"If the daimyo decides to wipe out Senshou and Uchiha together..."

Hashirama smiled kindly.The killing decision just now was once again hidden behind a gentle expression:

"Probably no one can do such a thing."

After the matter was decided, Momoka Senju couldn't help but go outside
