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

Being rejected by Ling again, Huo Xiao was not sad, and continued to speak softly, "Okay, I will ask you about this matter when you are old. Lord Ling is really amazing! Although I didn't hear what you said just now, according to the feedback of natural energy, you are really suitable for practicing immortal arts! Is that your [heart]?"

Ling smiled softly and did not respond to the slug's words. He just asked another question, "You always say that the Uzumaki clan will ask you to deal with some difficult things. You also have the habit of eating corpses. I wonder if you have any needs for this blood pool?"

"Well, Lord Ling, although I have the habit of eating carrion, I am not as averse to meat and vegetables as you think..."

Ling nodded slightly, with a hint of distress on his face, "Is that so... Then the follow-up treatment here will be a headache."

"Although I can't help you with your worries, you might try to plant some plants here. The blood pool here is harmful to living things, but it is an excellent nutrient for plants!"

"Plants..." Ling leaned slightly towards the direction of Hashirama, a smile on his face, "I see, it's a very useful suggestion."

"No, I'm glad to be able to help you~" The slug shook its antennae, "By the way, Master Hashirama, have you solved your problem?"

Hashirama withdrew his gaze from Madara, looked up at Ling who was half-smiling at him, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "…It was almost over, but now it may not be possible - can you stay with me for two days?"

"Of course~ I have nothing to do in the Wet Bone Forest anyway~" The slug's tentacles shook more happily, "And I can discuss some fairy arts with Master Ling. Master Hashirama can stay as long as he wants! Strictly speaking, the relationship between Master Hashirama and Master Ling can be considered brothers!"

Hashirama: ...Thank you for the invitation. I was almost hacked to death by my senior brother last time.

Compared to the excited live slug and the complaining Hashirama, Madara, who was slowly calmed down by the stroking, seemed much more confused. "Brother... won't you let Hashirama go back? It will cause serious trouble, right?"

"Let's wait until he finishes planting trees for us - after all, you said he wanted to take you to farm, so I thought Wood Release would be very convenient in this regard, so I want to save the tribesmen some energy.

And even if there was a dispute, it would not affect the Uchiha. After all, Hashirama even brought the message from Tobirama. When Tobirama returned safely, who would have thought that he would go so far to the Uchiha front through reverse summoning and be detained by the Uchiha? Even if Tobirama guessed it, he would not be able to convince the public without evidence. "

Ling rubbed the top of Madara's head and released his brother who had calmed down, "Okay, I'll have a little more in-depth chat with the Living Slug Sage, and you can make the arrangements for Hashirama, okay?"

"I understand," Madara sighed, looking at Hashirama, whose blood-stained body could not hide his despair, "Let's go, I'll be by your side for the next few days."

"Wait a minute, that senior brother, no, Brother Ling—no, that's not right, Madara's brother!" Hashirama stepped forward and stopped Ling who was about to leave, "What's going on with Tobirama? Please tell me in detail!"

"Well, Tobirama-chan is fine. He will be back in two days at the latest after achieving his goal. Also, I know you are confused because of your concern, but you should use your brain before doing anything in the future. He is someone I value. Even if he is a Senju, nothing will happen to our clan."

Ling tilted his head slightly, his face half-smiled, "This time you took the risk for your family, and my brother was there too, so forget it. You may not be so lucky next time."

[Sure enough, this guy still wants to kill me.] Hashirama pouted and watched Ling and the slug go away, his eyes fell on Madara who looked at him with disgust, [As for Madara, although I can feel that he intends to distance himself from me, his actual actions are still very protective of me... As brothers, this personality difference is too big, isn't it?]

"What do you want to do? Your eyes are disgusting."

"Hey, Madara, are you and Uchiha Ling really brothers? Not like you have the same father but different mothers? Or, were you actually adopted?"

Madara silently clenched the long sword in his hand, glared with his Sharingan, gnashed his teeth, "...You·are·looking·for·a·fight?"

"No, listen to me first," Hashirama raised his hands in surrender, his expression particularly aggrieved, "Because your personalities are really very different! Although I haven't met Izuna yet, but when I occasionally hear Tobirama mention her, I know that the child also has another extreme personality - in comparison, Madara's temper is really too good, so good that I don't believe you are an Uchiha."

Madara's expression immediately became as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, "... Is the only thing you learned from Uzumaki how to disgust others? And how can I have a good temper? There should be a limit to your crazy talk, right?"

"No, Madara just has a good temper." Hashirama said with a serious expression, "Although he sometimes does extreme things, Madara is gentle at heart. I can feel this very clearly. In comparison--"

"Alright, alright, shut up--" Madara interrupted Hashirama with a somewhat annoyed tone, "You stink of blood, come here quickly, even if you don't want to go home early, I still want to finish early and go back."

Hashirama looked at the faintly red ears between Madara's hair and sighed helplessly, "You still say that you have a bad temper... Isn't this quite soft? 】

"Hey! Are you coming over or not? If you don't come over, I will not care about you anymore! If someone secretly stops you and kills you, don't let your ghost come to me in my dreams!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Hashirama responded and quickly followed him. [You still say that you have a bad temper - oh, if I had known earlier, I would have left a message like Tobirama did when I came. Now I don't know how long it will take me to go back - I'm sorry, Tobirama, brother really didn't mean it! ]

So, the next day, Tobirama hurriedly followed Izuna around Uchiha and hurried back to the clan. What was waiting for him was an extremely depressing atmosphere at home and the news that Hashirama had inexplicably disappeared and no trace could be found.

Tobirama:......

[Damn it, I knew it.]
