[Column spot] You actually like men

Before today, Madara hadn't carefully considered what kind of thoughts he had on Hashirama—even after hearing Uchiha Jingxian's words, he just thought it might be possible.

But when Hashirama said "Then we will be like this", Madara unexpectedly recalled the feeling of opening the eyes of Sharingan without warning.Sharingan only opens its eyes when the mood fluctuates violently.And now it has been a full 100 years since he opened his eyes, and Madara rarely recalls the mood at that time.He didn't even think carefully about why he lost his three younger brothers and didn't open Sharingan. Just obliterating the existence of this friend in his heart, he was so sad that he opened his eyes.

After all, that was too long ago.

But at this time, he not only recalled the feeling at that time, but also recalled what he said to Obito when he was in the Shenwei space.Deep love, deep hatred.Isn't Sharingan like this?

Then to Hashirama...

This sudden thought made him startled, and various scenes gradually appeared in front of him.The scenes are all the same figure - Hashirama who is in a hurry to save Quanna, Hashirama who hugs his dead body and cries bitterly, Hashirama who keeps him at the shrine, Hashirama who wants to change the chaos of war, Hashirama who prepares to cut seppuku in front of everyone , said with a smile that Hashirama, who drank a cup of wine together...

Even earlier..."From now on, we will be opponents in vain."

Is that so.

Well, it's not a particularly embarrassing thing.He began to hesitate how to tactfully tell Hashirama his inner thoughts.After thinking about it, he repeated: "Hashirama, I don't think it's unfair."

As a normal person, he should be able to deduce from the repeated two sentences that the next sentence is "Because I love you too", but Senshou Zhuma not only failed to understand Shiro's implicit confession, but continued on his own: "In the past...you have been accommodating me all the time. At the time of the Fourth World War, you said that you had long wanted to fight Tomona. After all, one of the reasons why Quanna didn't do that was to be considerate of me. "

"Enough is enough for Madara." Hashirama stood up and walked to the kitchen, not letting Madara see his expression, "I am very happy these days, and I hope you will be happy in the future."

Madara couldn't utter a word for a while, and an unknown fire began to brew in his heart—I don't know if it was because Hashirama couldn't understand, or because he couldn't speak more bluntly.

But when Hashirama said these words, his tone was very sincere, so sincere that Madara had no reason to get angry at the other party at all, and he was so holding back that the Sharingan almost popped out.In the end, I could only ask bluntly: "Next, what will we do differently?"

"Well...it shouldn't be any different to you, we're still best friends, just like before."

Not for me.

But Hashirama didn't say this, just paused unnaturally, and then said in a tone that he thought he was relaxed: "A person as outstanding as Madara will definitely meet a partner who can connect with you."

"What about you?"

"Hahahahaha~ Madara is such a gentle person! Don't worry about me, I will adjust my mentality soon and won't embarrass you."

Madara knew that Hashirama was speaking from his heart, but this heartfelt feeling made him feel even more angry.What does it mean to be able to adjust your mentality soon?

"That's how it is. Don't bother me." Madara endured the unexplainable anger and left.

It wasn't until Madara left for a long time that Hashirama sat back at the dining table.

That time, when Madara said that he would get married as long as he thought it through.

I have to admit that he was really looking forward to it.But this expectation, after he confessed his confession many times but Madara did not respond, vaguely turned into anxiety.

——He still remembered what Madara said to him when he fell on the ground during seppuku.

"Either kill your brother, or you kill yourself, so we are equal."

equal.

If Madara really doesn't have that kind of meaning for herself, then what's the point.

In the past, Madara lost family and friendship, and never even considered love for the sake of ideals.If Madara really didn't mean that to him, wouldn't he have sacrificed his chance to try his feelings by forcing Madara to marry him?

Thinking of this, Hashirama pushed back the regret in his heart to the corner again.I am afraid that in this life, I will never have the opportunity to accompany him as a family member.But it's not too bad, at least it's not a loss for Madara.

There was still half of Madara's leftover milk on the dining table, Hashirama covered it with his hand, the milk was already cold.It's winter now, and even the hot milk will cool down in a short time.

Wait, winter...?

·

After Madara walked out of Hashirama's house, she went home and took a shower, then sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, reading the information Jingxian gave him in the afternoon.But after watching it for a long time, I couldn't concentrate, and my thoughts kept drifting to Zhu Jian's words.

He is not an impulsive person.When he asked Zhu Jian to consider getting married, he was already mentally prepared.To put it bluntly, there are two situations.Either Hashirama was sure that he had that kind of affection for him and wanted to spend his whole life with him; or he found out that he just thought too much before, and he just regarded Madara as a close friend.But unexpectedly, a situation of "I love you very much, but you never said you love me, so I give up" appeared...

Recalling just now that Hashirama tried hard to pretend that nothing had happened, Madara's anger began to rise again, but he felt that the anger came out of nowhere.He had never seen Hashirama depressed.For him, Hashirama is a unique existence, the only object of his longing.He also wanted to get what he wanted—it wasn't difficult for him to spend his life with Hashirama.But he hadn't said those three words for so many years, so he couldn't say them.

Since I can't stand the content of the intelligence, I might as well rest earlier.But when he returned to the room, he found that the pillow was still there.That's right, since he moved to this Konoha, he hasn't slept in this room a few times.

It was already midnight, and it was inappropriate for the clansmen to get up to help him get new bedding.He also didn't want to disturb Quanna's rest.So he put on his national uniform, sat on the sofa on the first floor, and wanted to make do for the night.

Before he could close his eyes and rest his mind, he heard a knock on the door.This was a bit unexpected, especially when he felt that the Chakra outside the door was Hashirama.

Maybe it was because Madara didn't come to open the door after waiting for a while, but there was a voice from Hashirama outside the door.

"Madara, are you asleep?"

Madara got up and walked over, opened the door: "What else?"

"That... you forgot to take something."

It's true that which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, the nameless fire is burning more vigorously.Madara took her own pillow and returned the quilt: "This isn't mine, is it?"

"But... you don't have winter quilts here..."

"Don't bother Mr. Hashirama to worry."

Hearing this name, Hashirama was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to block the door that was about to close: "Madara, I was serious before, and I didn't mean to tease you. I just hope you can be happier."

"Hashirama-sama was joking. I'm very happy."

Hearing that Madara still used honorific words with himself, Hashirama couldn't help but shiver.

The address between people often means the closeness of the relationship.Just as Hashirama is used to calling Sarutobi Hiruzame Sarutobi, and Tobima would call him by his nickname Monkey—compared to Tobima, he is indeed not familiar enough to call Sarutobi's name or nickname.

Generally speaking, in addition to being able to call close subordinates and juniors by their first names, only lovers or close friends are left.Other times, calling someone by their first name is a faux pas and a challenge.And before returning to this era, Madara only called Senju Bashirama once by name and surname.

Hearing Madara's distant and polite attitude, Hashirama felt even more at a loss, and said dryly, "Why are you angry..."

"Why am I mad at Hashirama-sama?"

"Then...why do you call me that all of a sudden? It feels so strange..."

"Is that Hashirama-san, or Senshouyang? Or like Ohnoki, Your Highness Hashirama?"

"spot..."

Madara ignored him and closed the door, so Hashirama had no choice but to go back.

Hashirama had a pretty bad night, the more he worried, the more he couldn't sleep.It's the end of the year now, and the weather is getting colder.When he went to Madara's house to pick up clothes a few times ago, he noticed that the bedding on Madara's bed was a bit thin, but thinking that Madara had been staying at his home lately, he didn't think to remind him.

Thinking of Wan Madara's tone again, it made him even more sad.He knew Madara was angry, but he wasn't quite sure why Madara was angry.If you can't speak up this time, maybe you won't even have to be a close friend in the future.This sense of loss made Hashirama toss and turn on the bed until midnight, and it was almost dawn in a blink of an eye.

The biological clock of the Senshou clan is relatively early, and Zhujian is no exception.Normally, at this time, Hinama just woke up to prepare breakfast for the two of them, and Madara would sleep a little longer.

Since I can't sleep, I just get up and cook breakfast.He hesitated for a while in the kitchen, and made Madara's favorite food, then knocked on the door next door.However, no one opened the door.He had no choice but to take out the spare key that Madara had left him before, opened the door and went in and found that Madara was not there, so he had to go back by himself a little disappointed.When he arrived at Hokage, Madara was already there, with faint dark circles around his eyes.

When Feijian saw his elder brother, he stepped forward and said hello: "Go to the conference room when everyone is here. The other high-level officials have already arrived, and the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan has also come."

The content of this meeting revolved around several other tailed beasts.There are nine tailed beasts in total, except for three in Konoha and one in Sand Yin Village, the other five are still wild.Tailed beasts have been regarded as natural disasters since ancient times. There are many legends or information about tailed beasts everywhere, but these legends and information are often difficult to distinguish between true and false. Many civilians confuse Nine-tailed Beasts with active volcanoes.In order to collect Tailed Beasts as soon as possible, Konoha sent many ninjas to investigate.

"The exact locations of the remaining tailed beasts are already known. Except for one tailed beast that is still in the Land of the Wind, the rest of the tailed beasts are free. Brother, you and Madara should control them before other countries make plans for them. That's it. For a while, I, Quan Nai and the monkey can handle it."

Collecting five tailed beasts, including the distance, would take at least ten days and half a month.

When Madara heard that Tobuma planned to let herself and Hashirama be alone for such a long time, she couldn't help frowning: "I'll just go alone."

"But Madara..."

"Alright, brother will stay and study the sealing technique together." The unidentified Toikama didn't notice the pleading eyes of his elder brother at all, "This is the sealing scroll newly researched by Orochimaru and I, you can use this to seal the tailed beast For a period of time, it is convenient to carry."

"Got it, I'm leaving today."

Madara took the scroll and left the meeting room.

Seeing that the head of the clan left, Huo He chased after him after talking to the second head: "Master Patriarch, can you take me with you?"

Madara looked at the fire core inexplicably, it was just a tailed beast, he was more than enough to go alone.Then he suddenly remembered that he had arranged for him to work with Jingxian Uchiha before, this kid wouldn't want to hide, would he?

"you..."

"I promise I won't cause trouble to the patriarch!" Huohe promised.

"Okay, you go and talk to Quan Nai, and come to my house to find me after you pack up."

It is normal for ninjas to go out to perform missions. Madara collected some daily necessities and sat on the sofa to wait for the fire core, watching the tail beast's information while waiting.After waiting for a while, I heard a knock on the door.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the fire core that came.

"Ok?"

"Can you go in and talk?" Hashirama said with a bit of aggrieved tone.

Madara turned sideways to let Hashirama in, and asked impatiently, "Is there anything else?"

"That... New Year's gift..." Hashirama handed over a small box.

Madara took it and put it on the table in the living room: "Thank you very much. But I'm afraid I won't be able to give you a New Year's gift in time."

"It's okay...it's good to be back soon."

After sending Hashirama away, Madara opened the box, and inside was a wood carving, needless to say, it must have been carved by Hashirama himself.This is a solid wood carving, a lifelike Madara, holding a round fan and sickle, standing on the head of Nine Tails.They're pretty much inseparable these days, and when on earth did he come up with this thing.

Before Madara looked at the wood carving carefully, the sound of fire core came from outside the door, so Madara had to put down the wood carving first.

There are only five tailed beasts left, which is not a big problem for him, but he deliberately wants to avoid Qianshouzhujian, so he plans to collect them slowly.

He and Fire Core came to a small town near Tailed Beast, and planned to open two rooms for a rest.The kitten that suddenly popped into view caught Madara's attention.

"The plan has changed, you can wait for me here."

"Master Patriarch, I will go with you."

·

"Master Hashirama, a ninja came to you with a book."

There was a small yellow comic with a big cross drawn across the cover, and after turning a few pages, a small note fell out of it.

"My patriarch and I are already on our way back, and we are expected to return to Konoha on the evening of the 20th. PS: There is a new book coming out."

"Who is it... why did I bring you such a book."

"Hehehe..." Hashirama touched his nose awkwardly, "Uchiha Fire Core."

·

When Zhujian received the letter from Fire Core, he couldn't believe it for a while.He didn't expect Madara to come back so soon.I thought it would take years to see Madara. On the evening of the 20th, after coming out of the Huoying Building, he walked towards the gate of the village.

When Madara returned to the gate of Konoha, he saw Senju Hashima was having a good conversation with the Hinata patriarch.

Seeing Madara's return, Hashirama suppressed the joy in his heart, and said calmly: "It just so happens that Hinata-sama is also back from a mission, so let me pick up the wind and dust for a few of you."

Fire Core waved his hand: "Sorry, I might have to go back to sleep."

The author has something to say: Source: Zhu Di’s interest in "Book of Zhe Zhe" is potted plants and sculptures... I have reason to suspect that the two statues in the Valley of Ending are carved by Zhu Di...
