Naruto: Let's take a look at the blind Uchiha

Wajian watched as Thousand-Handed Buddha hugged them, then silently put on his coat and left the house in the cold wind, and his worries grew even more.

He clearly understood the difficulty his father was facing at the moment—not only was he unclear about Tobirama's position, but also because of his current identity, he had to consider the impact of each of his actions...

[If I hadn't been so playful at that time, I would have helped Tobirama-san to persuade my elder brother...] Wajima lowered his head, trying hard to hold back his tears, [Senju Wajima, what on earth are you doing, useless thing? ]

"If I hadn't gone shopping and just followed what Tobirama-san said, everything would have been fine," Itama raised his hand and wiped away his tears, "It's all my fault for not being obedient..."

"It's not your fault, It was me who suggested going to Uchiha to watch the fireworks, so you can't be blamed for that." Hashirama sat up from the clutter with a pale face and staggered out, "I will bring Tobirama back... No matter what, I will definitely bring him back."

"Brother!" Kama hurriedly stood up and grabbed Hashirama, "Do you want all of Tobirama's efforts to go to waste?"

"What should I do? Should I just ignore Tobirama?" Hashirama almost screamed, "He's my brother! How can I--"

"That's my brother too!" Kama shouted back in a louder voice than Hashirama, "Brother, you are always like this! You never consider the consequences when doing things! Don't you really understand why Tobirama-san does this!"

Hashirama was stunned by Wajian's shouting. He was about to say something when he panicked at Wajian's tears. He clumsily wiped his brother's tears, "Don't cry, Wajian, don't cry... I'll think of another way, another way, don't cry..."

Banjian, who had been holding back his tears, finally burst into tears. "I will definitely be obedient in the future and never mess around again. Anyone is fine. Please let brother come back. I will be a good child in the future. Woo woo..."

Let my brother come back.

These few words uttered with a tearful tone completely drained away all the strength in Hashirama's body. If he hadn't been holding onto Aramaki's shoulders to absorb some of the force, he would have fallen to the ground on the spot.

【What stupid things have I done?】

Hashirama stood there with empty eyes, feeling that all the sounds were moving away from him. The feeling of powerlessness as if his heart was being tightly grasped spread throughout his body again.

[I was too naive. It was my fault. I should have been the one left behind and the one who had to die... Why did Tobirama have to bear the consequences for me? What was I doing? What did I want to do? I clearly——]

pat.

Hashirama reacted somewhat slowly as he glanced at the horrified expression on Wajian's face, fixed his eyes on the bloodstains that had been shattered into pieces on the ground. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the tip of his nose, and then stared at the scarlet hands in a daze - what happened to him?

While Hashirama was still unresponsive, Wakan in front of him was frightened to death. Just after Itama started crying, Hashirama's face became paler and paler as if he had lost his soul, but soon his veins bulged and his face turned red, and finally he had a nosebleed - the most important thing was that no matter how they pushed or shouted, there was no reaction at all!

"Brother, take a deep breath! Stop whatever you are thinking about! Brother! Can you hear me?" Kama was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He shook the stunned Hashirama and turned his head away, "Itama! Stop crying and go find father! Hurry! Brother is not in a good state!"

The frightened Banjian immediately wiped away his tears and crawled out, but the moment he stepped out of the door, he was hit by the sudden burst of chakra behind him and flew out. He rolled several times in the dirt before he got up in panic and looked behind him, but his expression was blank in an instant - where is his house? Why did it turn into a tree?

Such a big commotion naturally could not be hidden from the Thousand-armed Buddha who had just left not far away. After the giant tree was formed, he appeared in his own courtyard again in just a few breaths. He first pulled the stunned young son up from the ground, and then asked anxiously, "What's going on? Where are Hashirama and the others?"

Banjian pointed blankly at the house, and Aba was unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Senju Butsuma could only raise his voice and speak, "Hashirama! Watama! How are you!"

"I'm fine! But big brother fainted!" The voice coming from the giant tree was a little muffled, but it was not difficult to hear the crying tone in it, "and big brother has branches growing behind his back! It seems like he has become a vegetable!"

But after hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Qianshou Buddhajian's face, which was full of clouds, but he quickly suppressed this joy and spoke to comfort him, "Wajian, stay there and don't move. I will come to find you soon!"

Just as Fojian was trying hard to chop down the tree in an attempt to rescue his son, the clan members who lived nearby also quickly arrived. They looked at the big tree that had destroyed their family head's house and talked about it.

"It's a blessing for the clan, a blessing for the clan!" A white-haired Thousand Hands said with an unpretentious look of joy after learning about the situation here, "Benjian, you really have a good son! And in this case, Tobirama, who used himself as a guide to completely help his elder brother stimulate the power in his bloodline, can rest in peace in his grave, right?"

"Brother Tobirama is not dead!" Itachi stared at the tribe member who was talking with tears in his eyes, "You are not welcome in my home, get out!"

The tribe member who was speaking didn't pay much attention to Itama's tearful expulsion, and continued to talk to the tribe members around him, "Alas - it's a pity for Tobirama. He is such a smart child. He can still make the most correct choice under such circumstances..."

[Tobirama? Oh, right, I have to go save Tobirama...] Hashirama, who had just been dug out from the center of the giant tree, looked dazed. He still couldn't hear a single sound. He could only see the worried faces of his father and brother in his blurry vision. [I must think of a way to bring Tobirama back...]

Hashirama tried several times to tell his family what he was thinking, but only uttered some meaningless syllables, so he quickly stopped the useless talk and tried to get up, but soon fell back because of the weakness of his hands and feet, and even began to have difficulty breathing because of this simple action.

He panted rapidly, and felt his eyes go dark. But even so, he still used up all his strength, raised his hands and tightly grasped the front of the Thousand Hands Buddha, wanting to express his eagerness - [Don't surround me, why are you surrounding me? I'm not important at all, go save Tobirama, find a way to save Tobirama...]

However, when all his efforts were not understood, and when he even heard that his clan members were not worried about the unknown life and death of Tobirama, but instead said words such as "He died a worthy death" and "It is an honor to die", Hashirama still shed tears even though he was already emaciated due to the sudden awakening of his bloodline.

[It shouldn't be like this, how could it be like this? It's my fault - so please, no matter what happens to me, save Tobirama... Don't let my fault take his life, he is not the one who should die. ]

Filled with worry and sadness, Hashirama finally couldn't stand the physical exhaustion anymore. He closed his eyelids weakly, and his consciousness fell into a dark and drowsy state.

The following content can be skipped - the author has something to say but can't write it down so he puts it here. It doesn't affect the plot.

I felt a little touched when writing this paragraph today. The more I understand the original work, the more I realize that the love of the Senju family is no inferior to that of the Uchiha family. It’s just that the Uchiha family concentrated this love on a few people, while the Senju family shared this love with everyone.

Hashirama was the best among them. Just from the fact that he was willing to suppress the blood feud between the two clans when the Uchiha clan was completely disadvantaged, to stop his clan members from taking revenge and instead to establish diplomatic relations with the Uchiha clan and create peace, we can see that he truly and equally loves everyone.

For this reason, he was even able to endure the pain and kill his best friend with his own hands for the so-called peace, and said such cold words as "I will not let go of anyone who threatens the village, no matter if they are brothers or friends."

But at the beginning, he was completely different. At that time, he was just a brother who would fight against his father's indifference to Kawarama's death, cry and grieve over his younger brother's tragic death, and was determined to establish peace to protect his younger brother because he didn't want to repeat the tragedy. Even the paranoia he showed at that time was no different from that of the Uchiha who lost his brother...

So Hashirama, what changed you, making you forget that you originally just wanted a small place to protect your younger brother, instead of selflessly protecting everyone?
