[Naruto] The big battle to transform the image of the patriarch

The location of the meeting was chosen at the foot of the mountain between the two ethnic groups.A magnificent traditional building was quickly built by Senshou Zhujian using the wooden escape as an office building for the scheduled four-day and three-night meeting.

The office building faces south, leaning against a steep cliff and facing an open basin. The Nanhe River, which has nourished this mountain forest since ancient times, meanders from northwest to southeast.Ascending to the south, you can see layers of green waves surging, and birds hovering with the sun on their backs.

According to tradition, under the witness of the family flags, the allied families will publicly sign a seal of reconciliation on behalf of their respective tribes and shake hands to make peace. After this ceremony, the formal meeting will begin.

In fact, the two parties have exchanged documents before, and they have studied each other's conditions over and over again.Based on the importance of this alliance, both parties tacitly abandoned the "lion's big mouth" approach, and each wrote down terms that they thought were more sincere.

"Sincerity. Hmph."

Glancing at the Thousand Hands across the door, Quan Nai turned her face and muttered softly.

At this time, Mana was looking at the heroic figure of the patriarch in front of him with admiring eyes.

Now in the center of the square, two flags embroidered with flaming fans and double-headed spears were raised high, and the wide cloth rustled in the wind.Under the banner stood the two most powerful ninjas of this era. They were dressed in grand uniforms, and their hands were tightly held together, announcing to the world that the nearly century-old period of hostility between each other's families has finally come to pass. A chapter in a new era of peace and hope...

Since the impassioned commentary was automatically playing in his mind, Mana took two beats to receive the dissatisfaction signal from Quanna.

"Actually, Senju, as the foreseeable winner, is not too much to ask for such a condition after taking the initiative to seek peace." Mana evaluated objectively in the same voice as thin as a mosquito, "At least it looks okay."

"But those clauses with obviously sinister intentions can be seen from the hand of Qianshou Feijian." Quan Nai snorted slightly, staring at the conspicuous silver hair of his old enemy in the distance, habitually wanted to touch the hilt of the knife, but was in vain. .

During the ceremony, except for the patriarch, no one is allowed to wear weapons to show sincerity to peace.

"No matter who proposes it, just resolutely oppose it." That being said, Mana was also a little annoyed when she thought of the "Letter of Intent" that the patriarch gave them to study, but she still managed to appease Quanna, "Anyway, negotiations come and go. go."

It was the brightest time of day in the afternoon, and the bare rocky mountains looked very dazzling under the strong sunlight.Although the forest at the foot stretches for thousands of miles and is gloomy, and the Nanhe River not far away is looming in the forest, and the water vapor is dense above the sparkling waves, but this stone wall is unusually dry for some reason.Driven by the footsteps, the fine sand and gravel dust jumped up in surprise, and then scattered to the open valley by the wind.Uchiha Madara and Senju Zhuma were standing on the cliff, staring quietly at this familiar scenery.

Ninjas have always paid attention to efficiency in doing things, unlike nobles such as the city lord and daimyo who have many cumbersome etiquettes-the ninjas hold a reconciliation ceremony in the morning and can directly start talking about business in the afternoon.Therefore, the lunch break is precious because of its shortness. Even so, the two patriarchs still came to this highland by coincidence.

They haven't talked for a long time, but as close friends, they both wonderfully know what the other is thinking at the moment—it must be the same as themselves, imagining what the village will look like in the future.Now here is still an uncultivated natural scenery, but in the future the trees will fall down and turn into houses; the streets are criss-crossed, and people who used to be hostile to each other calmly pass by.

The breeze blows their long hair in the same direction.

"It's amazing, this feeling of dream come true." Hashirama sighed, "You also remember, Madara, what we used to talk about here."

"Of course," he said, reaching out to grab a green leaf fluttering in the wind - a hole had been eaten by bugs, "to build a village, and then protect my brother in this place overlooking the entire forest. "

"Yeah! We've all done it, despite a lot of sacrifice and pain," Hashirama said with a smile.

Madara also showed a smile full of emotions, and the faces of many people flashed in his heart. The only thing he can be grateful for is that his two most important people are still alive.

"It turns out that as long as you keep working hard and don't give up, you can do it with honesty... I once gave up this dream in the past..." Madara finally admitted to Hashirama that her past thoughts were wrong.

He didn't say any more, as if he felt that the leaf in his hand suddenly became very interesting, he turned around to observe, and then held it up to his eyes with great interest, trying to look at the world through that hollow.

This action is quite naive, and his dazed expression can indeed overlap with the cheerful young man in Hashirama's memory of swimming and rock climbing together.

Their eyes are very bright.

"Ah," Hashirama spread her hands vigorously, facing the sun as if to embrace the world, "As long as you work hard, peace will surely come true!"

"Also, Madara," he laughed and pointed at Madara, "you finally got a nice haircut!"

"Hey, what do you mean, Hashirama!" Madara threw the leaves at Hashirama.

"Brother, why are you still here!" The voice from Feijian moved from far to near, and jumped behind them in a few breaths, "The meeting is about to start."

"Taijian." The lightheartedness on Madara's face suddenly melted, and he said coldly.

"Madara." Tobima said without fear, her expression was as alert as ever.

"Understood Toikama," Hashirama interrupted the two of them looking at each other, "You go there first, Zema and I are coming."

The basic order of the talks is that the decision-makers on both sides first discuss the general issues, and then the respective subordinates are responsible for arranging the implementation of specific issues.In addition to the patriarchs of both parties, the participants also included Senju Feima, Senju Tamitsu, Uchiha Quanna and Uchiha Mana.

It is said that Qianshou Duoguang was pulled by Qianshou Feijian purely to gather the number of people.

Logically speaking, Mana and Quanna should enter the arena first, and then the four of them face to face and wait for their respective patriarchs to enter the arena.But now there are only three people present-Uchiha Izumi, Senshou Feijian, and Senshou Daguang.

"Where's Uchiha Mana?" Senju Tomona glanced at the seat opposite.

"Tofu, he's not dead, he'll be there in a while." Quan Na raised her head and replied unceremoniously.

The eyes of the two collided in mid-air, sparking sparks.

"Hmph," Fei Jian sneered, "Since you can't be on time, why bother to attend the meeting..."

"Teima." Hashirama walked into the conference room and stopped his younger brother's sarcastic remarks.

Madara followed closely behind, signaling his younger brother to calm down with his eyes.

While doing the trio rose to salute.

"I'm sorry, brother. Mana is going to get an important document, and I'll be right back." Quan Nai then explained.

In fact, he also thinks that it's not good for Mana to lose the chain at a critical moment... But if you lose but don't lose, you can't make Qian Shou Feijian proud!

Spotted nodded to indicate that he knew.

While talking, there was a knock on the door that had just been closed.

"I'm very sorry, my subordinate is late." Mana's voice came from behind the door.

——In front of outsiders, Mana has always been stern, creating a calm and self-sustaining image, calling herself a "subordinate", and treating the patriarch with a very respectful attitude.

"Come in." Ban Yang said.

Mana's figure appeared in front of several people.

She's wearing traditional Uchiha female ninja clothing today—a short, modified kimono—for ease of movement, with plain dark blue fabric and a small round fan embroidered on the back.The black net lining wraps the slender limbs; the belt outlines the slender waist, a small sword hangs on the left side; three kunai are tied on the right thigh.Her black hair is tied into a ponytail, her bangs are combed back, and two locks of ear hair hang down her face, which makes her delicate face softer, but her calm expression and straight back make her never be compared with "weak" " A class of words to catch the relationship.

"Master Hashirama, Tobima, long time no see." She nodded politely to them, put the documents on her seat, took the tray from the waiter and poured tea for everyone present.

"Please use."

"Uchiha... Mana?!" Toma lost her voice, staring fixedly at the female ninja who was well-dressed but had obvious gender characteristics.

"Are you blind after not seeing you for a few years, Senshou Higama?" Quan Nai would not let go of any opportunity to mock Higama, and immediately used Uchiha's special mocking face.

"You you you you are Mana?!" This is Hashirama who was completely dumbfounded.

He was so shocked that even his two hairs and whiskers trembled without wind, and his facial features were so tangled that they were almost wrinkled.

"...Hashirama?" Madara took the teacup and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with Mana?"

"I said, Madara..." Hashirama looked at his close friend, at Mana, then at his brother who fell into silence, and finally asked with a mournful face and the last hope, "Uchiha Mana, isn't it your brother?"

"Huh? How is that possible." Madara's mouth twitched, "I told you I only have one younger brother, Izumi. Besides, Mana is a woman anyway..."

...It seems, probably?

He fell into memory.

Mana is only a few months older than Quanna.Originally, girls could choose to marry and have children instead of going to the battlefield, but Mana opened her eyes very early, and was sent to the battlefield by her father Uchiha Tajima as a matter of course.From the age of seven to 17, Mana wore the same heavy armor as every Uchiha warrior.In order to make it easier for her to keep her hair short, she stuffed it all into the helmet during the war.Strict attire can indeed cover up all gender characteristics. In addition, most of the Uchiha clan have delicate faces. It is difficult to tell whether they are male or female just by looking at their faces.What's more, the smoke and dust billowing on the battlefield shook the sky, and everyone was ashamed and hoarse, and they were always recognized as men... It's actually not surprising.

"Even if you can't tell by the appearance, you can recognize it by the name." Mana walked to Quan Nai's lower head and stood there, complaining blankly, "Who calls his son 'Mana'."

"But the two names Izuna and Mana are obviously similar, and the pronunciation is also very similar to Madara, just like me and Togama..." An unknown gloomy atmosphere surrounded the lost The god of the ninja world, he lowered his head and fell into frustration, completely unable to extricate himself, "Heijian, so you stabbed a woman..."

It was very embarrassing to be told by his elder brother in Tokaima.His cheeks were tense, he glanced at Chennai uncomfortably, and said stiffly: "Both men and women are fighters on the battlefield! Who will show mercy because of gender! Let alone..."

Without hesitation, he said: "...I clearly stabbed Quanna at that time."

Madara's face sank, and Quanna's expression was not right.

If it wasn't for Mana who happened to glance at the duel between Quanna and Tobi, seeing that the situation was not right, and immediately used space ninjutsu to knock Quanna away and block the knife for him, I am afraid that the two sides would not be able to sit here today.It was also because of the serious injury that made Mana have to retreat from the front line even though she saved her life, and began to learn to handle internal affairs instead.

Although Mana has never been disappointed by this—she seems to be naturally optimistic, which is very similar to Hashirama—but Quanna is very guilty. He always feels that if he hadn't underestimated the enemy, Mana would not have been injured.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the venue became stiff, Hashirama quickly shook off the unidentified gloomy lines around him, picked up the document and said with a vigorous smile: "Anyway, today's Senju and Uchiha are already friends. Why don't we enter now?" Let's get to the point."

He and Madara glanced at each other—the latter had adjusted his emotions, and the two sat down at the same time, and then the others followed suit.

The meeting room provided a rectangular high table, six people sat facing each other, the two patriarchs were the first, followed by Quanna and Togama, and Mana and Tamitsu last.

Mana tilted her head, glanced at her patriarch instructively, and received a positive nod and a slight smile as encouragement.She squinted her eyes, then spread out the document, and glanced at the three people across from her.

"I'm sorry, then let me start." She spoke unhurriedly, "I'm afraid we can't agree to the following conditions put forward by the Thousand Hands Clan..."

small theater:
