Hashirama still arrived at the Five Kage Summit on time - Tobirama deserves credit for this.
Even if Hashirama was late, no one present should be able to say "no".
"To be able to have the first five Kage of the five great nations gathered together like this..."
"Holding the Five Kage Summit, I really..."
Hashirama put his hands on the corner of the table, a blush of emotion appearing on his face.
Tobirama, who was standing behind Hashirama, had a vague feeling of a bad premonition.
But soon, the premonition came true.
As soon as Hashirama came up, he knocked his forehead against the table with a loud bang and said loudly:
"thank you very much!"
If Fojian were still alive, he would probably die on the spot after seeing this scene.
Fortunately, he died early.
"Brother, as the Hokage, representing the Land of Fire and the Konoha Ninja Village, how can you easily bow down to other Kages?"
Tobirama's face was pale, with a few beads of sweat visible on his forehead. The dignified Hokage of Konohagakure in the Land of Fire, Hashirama Senju, actually kowtowed to the other four Kage in public at the first Five Kage Summit!
This makes Konoha wonder how to survive in the future!
Hashirama raised his head tremblingly, with two wide noodles-like tears hanging under his eyes, and made a final struggle towards Tobirama.
As the eldest brother, Hashirama knew clearly that if he pissed off his younger brother, he would suffer the consequences.
There was a tone of grievance and pleading, as well as a lack of remorse in his voice:
“But I’m so happy.”
Tobirama felt that his elder brother looked like a weak and vulnerable little rabbit - but everyone present had more or less witnessed Hashirama Senju's earth-shattering Wood Release Ninjutsu and his extraordinary regeneration ability.
Even if he kowtows ten times in a row here, no one will question his ability - at most they will just show off their power with words.
For example, this guy is not only black in appearance, but also black in heart:
"Hokage-sama, please raise your head."
"This is not the behavior of a leader."
It was the Raikage with his arms crossed. Tobirama knew this posture - it was a self-defense action that appeared when a person felt insecure.
You speak so condescendingly, aren't you scared to death?
The Raikage had just finished speaking when the Tsuchikage spoke up - once someone in the mob shows up, the others will swarm in.
"I am indeed here to ratify the Five Kage Agreement, Hokage-sama, but that doesn't mean I will sign it for nothing."
Tobirama's temple throbbed. As expected, meeting the inherently evil Uchiha in the morning would make the day go bad.
The next person to speak was the old Mizukage - his beard was long and white, and in Tobirama's eyes, it was as annoying as his nonsense.
"If you're too humble, it'll seem like you have ulterior motives."
Tsk tsk, you are shameless even though I gave you face? There are so many messed up words.
Tobirama no longer wanted to lecture his elder brother. None of these old guys were good.
"The condition for signing the agreement is that the Hokage distributes the collected tailed beasts to each village."
Tobirama was still secretly jumping up and down, so the Kazekage spoke and brought the meeting to the point.
"This is a transaction and should not be swayed by emotions."
This sounds reasonable, but in reality, no one here is qualified to say such a thing.
Tobirama secretly cursed the other party for being ungrateful, saying that everything was the result of his elder brother being swayed by emotions and being kind!
But he still spoke in a friendly manner - after all, it was his eldest brother's ideal.
"Yes, the distribution of the tailed beasts will take balance into consideration."
"But you all need to contribute money to buy it."
Hashirama is a fool.
Tobirama knew this since he was born.
But I didn't expect it to come to this.
Hashirama turned his head to look at himself, and this movement seemed to be slowed down hundreds or thousands of times.
Even the pores on Hashirama's face could be seen clearly by Tobirama.
Don't speak! Tobirama prayed.
"It's fine even if it's for free."
At this moment, Tobirama wanted to throw his idiot brother out of the window - his elder brother wouldn't get hurt anyway.
"Shut up!"
In the end, family ties prevailed.
The initial talks finally ended successfully under the suppression of Tobirama's momentum.
"I think the disputes, big and small, will calm down in the future."
But later, facing the request made by the Kazekage, Hashirama's words made it difficult for Tobirama to remain calm.
"As long as you show sincerity, even the Uchiha clan members will not refuse you from coming to the family cemetery."
This is what Ban said himself.
After the meeting, Tobirama walked in the village under construction with something on his mind.
As we walked, we walked out of the central area.
The surrounding scenery changed and became unfamiliar.
The location of Konoha is right between the Senju family's territory and the Uchiha family's territory, just connecting the two families together.
But the Uchiha are much more xenophobic than the Senju - it may also be that the Senju has a stupid clan leader who is eager to convert the existing houses on his family's land into housing for the villagers.
Judging from the results, the center of Konoha moved directly towards the direction of Senju, and the Uchiha seemed to be living in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
This is Tobirama's first time coming to the Uchiha clan territory.
"Although..."
The Uchiha clan was born evil, and Tobirama swallowed a few words - this is a bad habit. The two clans have reconciled, and even if there is resentment, it should only be against individuals, such as Uchiha Madara who played his eldest brother around.
But Tobirama had already let it go, and the so-called resentment only remained at the level of "unhappiness". Presumably, as time passed, such unhappiness would be washed away less and less until it disappeared completely.
A red torii gate was erected on the edge of the family's inner courtyard, and the newly painted pillars still had a pungent smell of paint.
The plaque on the torii gate has the words "Nanga" painted in gold powder, making it look like a shrine.
Tobirama had just arrived, so naturally he didn't know how to get around. He just went to the inner courtyard based on his feeling. The Uchiha in the outer courtyard might be preparing for some activities, so there were few people active.
Only when we reached the inner courtyard could we see a few people.
His white hair looked particularly conspicuous in this place, but no one came forward to insult or drive him away.
Three or two minutes later, a short and fat old lady walked down the corridor.
"Next to the newly built shrine is the cemetery of the Uchiha family."
The white-haired old woman was wearing a kimono that was washed so much that it turned white, and she dressed herself meticulously.
She was holding a coat in her hands, as if she was going to give it to someone.
"You are here to see the child."
"I am the consul here. If you don't mind, please let me lead the way for you."
The consul leaned over and smiled kindly and warmly.
Such a person is also Uchiha.
"Then please."
My mother-in-law walked slowly, so Tobirama also walked slowly.
"The clan leader said that some Senju people might come to the Uchiha clan cemetery these days, so I should pay attention."
The mother-in-law spoke with a smile, and the clan leader she was referring to was naturally Uchiha Madara.
"He does have a heart."
Tobirama replied, and the mother-in-law beside him laughed, and then they arrived at the cemetery.
It was empty, with only tombstones and grave mounds - it was indeed a cemetery.
"This way, please."
But there was a person in this cemetery, carrying a basket of medicinal herbs and standing in front of a very small grave mound.
It seemed that he was the medicine merchant that Uchiha Madara wanted to invite that day. He had been practicing medicine in the village these days and helping Izuna to recuperate.
Although the villagers thought that the merchant looked scary, he was a good man with a high reputation.
I am carrying the medicine basket today, so I must be leaving.
The mother-in-law led Tobirama forward until they stood next to the medicine seller.
That small grave mound turned out to be the child's.
When the merchant saw Tobirama, he bowed slightly and took a small step to the left to make room for the other person.
"Thank you."
The coat in the mother-in-law's hand was handed to the merchant - was Uchiha Madara such a hospitable person?
Tobirama was puzzled, and after hearing what his mother-in-law said, he became even more confused.
"The chief said that autumn is coming soon and the weather will be cooler. It would be better to bring this with you."
Inside the coat, there was a small but heavy purse - Ban was quite kind.
Tobirama turned around and looked at the merchant in surprise.
The other party accepted the coat but pushed the purse back.
"I won't be using this for the time being, please return it to Madara-sama."
As Tobirama listened to the merchant's thanks, the things that were churning in his heart suddenly calmed down.
"This child..."
Some words just came out of my mouth.
It seemed that all his puzzles could be answered by this wandering merchant whom he had never met before.
It felt exactly like meeting that child on the battlefield - the child named "Ningji".
