[NARUTO][Pillar Madara] His Country

Note, wishing to allow their ninjas to come to the frontier in search of 'Tail Beasts'.He had never heard of such a thing, so he came to ask us what it was. "

"Tail beast..."

For a moment, the air in the conference room was a little stagnant.Ordinary people may not have heard of such things, but there are legends in every ninja: they are monsters with terrifying power, they are made of chakra, they are immortal, and they are everywhere they go. Bringing death and disaster... It is rumored that they were sealed as early as the time of the Sage of the Six Paths.

"Can anyone control the tailed beast?" the head of the Sarutobi clan asked.

"A person who is particularly good at sealing..." The head of the Shimura clan glanced cautiously at Madara sitting at the end of the table.The man half-closed his eyes, showing no emotion.

"—And, people who have Sharingan."

Madara opened her eyes, with a cold and haughty expression:

"Then the problem is simple. Catch the Tailed Beast before Yanyin, and kill them all."

"Shock and awe are necessary, but revenge on top of that is not necessary."

Hashirama said.It is rare for him to express his dissenting opinions so clearly, especially in front of Uchiha Madara, which made the air in the conference room stiff for a short while.In the end, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan spoke out:

"Since the other party provoked first..."

"Revenge can only produce more hatred. We have seen enough lessons from the past." As Hashirama said, his gaze swept over everyone at the table, and finally fell on Madara.His old friend met his gaze without avoiding it, with a look of mockery and pity at the same time.Hashirama didn't look away.

"The last thing we need right now is another bigger and more protracted war."

"So, what about the people who died?" Madara said.His words are colder than ice.

Pain flickered across Hashirama's eyes.Like Madara, he knew those young ninjas, he also knew their names, and knew that there were people in their family waiting for them to go back.However, he still went on:

"If there is a war, more people will die.

"I will personally go to Tuying to negotiate."

Madara was the first to leave after the meeting.He didn't look at Hashirama again, and it was not even known whether he would accept the conclusion of the meeting.This is somewhat surprising: For those ninjas who have recently joined Konoha, many people are aware of the possibility of such a confrontation between Senju Zhuma and Uchiha Madara for the first time.So when people left, they had somewhat hesitant expressions on their faces, and Hokage, who had always been considerate, didn't offer any more comfort.

Tobima waited until everyone had left before speaking.

"I think Madara's approach may be more direct."

Hashirama, who was in deep thought, seemed to take a moment to react.He turned to look at his brother, not terribly surprised.

"Why save your opinion for last?"

"I am your brother," Tomona said without any hesitation, "I must support you."

There was a slight pause in Zhu Jian's movements.

"Brother, what you choose is not the way we are used to. It may not lead to any valuable results..." Tomona hesitated, "Maybe in the end, we will choose Madara's way."

Hashirama shook his head: "The way you are used to is not the right way."

He pursed his lips.Normally, he would accuse his elder brother of being too naive, but at this moment, he suddenly had a vague feeling: Maybe everything in this world is about to change.

The dream that Hashirama has been pursuing for many years has been concretized into the entity "Konoha", and this is just the beginning.The eldest brother must be looking at a world that he can't imagine or describe—for some reason, Tobuma believes so firmly.

But Hashirama still folded his hands, as if he was in deep thought, or just in a daze aimlessly.After a long time, he asked in a low voice:

"Feijian... Am I being too unreasonable?"

"Why..." Tobima stopped just after saying two words.He was aware of a slight tremor in Hashirama's voice.

"In order to protect more people, a few sacrifices must be made." Tomona said, "This is the principle of ninjas."

Hashirama lowered his head.His long hair fell down, covering his expression.

"Probably... so."

At that moment, if it wasn't for his elder brother who knew him well, he would have thought the man was crying.

Negotiations with Yan Yin went very smoothly.

On the one hand, this success is due to Hashirama's ability to frighten the audience, Mu Dun, when the negotiation scene was on the verge of getting out of control, and on the other hand, it is due to Madara who successfully subdued the tailed beast before Yan Yin.

After Konoha and Iwagakure reached an agreement, Uchiha Madara went to the original team and taught them a lesson. Because Madara kept his hand, it did not cause any serious problems. .

Hashirama found Madara in the curse room.As usual, the man was dressed in a black robe, standing there with his arms folded, watching the tailed beast's form gradually disappear, and finally disappeared into the urn with numerous incantations. The roar that shook the mountains before was like a dream that never existed , never heard again.

This seal incorporates the two Chakras of Mutun and Sharingan at the same time, there should be no chance for the tailed beast to escape within five years—this sounds unsafe, but it is good enough considering the danger of the tailed beast up.

Madara obviously noticed Hashirama's arrival, but didn't say hello, not even a simple nod, and turned and left after the seal was over.Hashirama sighed, exchanged a few words with the ninjas in charge of the seal, and followed Madara out.

In this way, the two walked through the increasingly bustling streets of Konoha one after the other.Merchants gathered from nearby opened various shops, ninjas who were on duty intermittently chatted in front of the ninja shop, and small restaurants that hadn't opened yet closed their sliding doors.All kinds of people put down their things to salute when they saw Madara and Hashirama, but they whispered about what happened before after the two left - even though the previous dispute was not seen by many people, Rumors have spread.

Madara might have heard it, but it didn't stop him from walking.Hashirama followed him all the way, and only after entering Uchiha's main house did he take a few steps hurriedly, holding Madara's hand.

"We need to talk."

Madara finally turned around.He stared at Hashirama with a strange expression, as if he wanted to get to know the person in front of him again.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?"

Zhu Jian was silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you."

"what?"

"You just intimidated the people of Yanyin."

"Don't get me wrong." Madara smiled contemptuously, "They are too weak to be worth fighting. But Hashirama..." He shook his head and did not continue.

"All this will get better and better." Hashirama said.He is not good at conceiving such a grand future. In fact, all he has now are firm hopes and tiny plans, but he must tell Madara, "There is better war between countries than war." We can settle disputes in the same way: we can sit down and talk, make each other's thoughts clear, don't create hatred... Madara, like all this we have achieved, look at Konoha, look at Senju and Uchiha..."

He wanted to say what he heard on Gaotianyuan, what he saw once, the images left by the Immortals of the Six Paths, and the categorical conclusions of the Immortals of the Six Paths.If there is anything that two people who are descendants of the Six Paths should accomplish——

"That's different." Madara shook her head.His expression softened somewhat, but Hashirama felt a little flustered.He was about to explain something when he heard Madara's voice continue smoothly:

"Because I believe in you. Rather...I love you, Hashirama."

Hashirama felt a chill in his palm.He subconsciously clenched Madara's wrist, and the familiar and fiery temperature briefly seared his nerves.Me too—he wanted to say that, but he couldn't say anything after seeing Madara's eyes.

"We used to think that a true alliance only needs to know what the other party is thinking, so that trust can be delivered." Madara didn't break free from Hashirama's hand, "We used to think that would be enough."

"Isn't that right?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that people make different concessions, believe different things, and walk different paths..."

"Have you...don't believe it anymore?" Hashirama asked in a low voice, "Is it because I haven't done well enough, or..."

Madara shook his head.He seemed quite lost: "I'm just not sure."

"This is just the beginning. It will get better." Hashirama said, but also knew that the man knew as well as him that it would take a long time and many sacrifices before the "better" world came. .Words are always frivolous before an uncertain future.

Madara didn't say anything, just broke away from Hashirama's hand.

Then he saw the dream again.

The people he loved and lost.

Father.Mother.

Brothers who have not yet reached the figure of an adult.

Quanna.

They smiled brightly and cheerfully, and looked at each other, eyes that passed him alone.Madara closed his eyes until another voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"If you stop here, all these sacrifices will be meaningless."

Spot turned his head.

Black shadows stand on the streets of Konoha.that's obviously
