If you compromise



If you compromise

He poured hot water into a basin and used a clean cloth to wipe the blood off his face. The white-haired boy lowered his head, looking unhappy, while the slightly younger black-haired boy in front of him pursed his lips stubbornly and said nothing.

"I'm not blaming you, Izuna." Tobi sighed, but finally softened his tone, "At least you shouldn't take such a risk. You should have waited for your tribe members to go together."

Uchiha Izuna stopped talking, he lowered his eyes and showed weakness.

After he opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, his strength increased, but he also felt the severity of the situation in the clan. In the past, it was always Madara who supported him, but after overusing the Sharingan, his eyes became blurred due to the burden.

If he hadn't seen what his second brother was researching, he wouldn't have known that the end result of the kaleidoscope is blindness.

"Brother, do you know the Eternal Kaleidoscope?" After being quiet for a while, Izumi suddenly asked.

Uchiha Tobi was a little surprised, but still nodded. He saw Izuna smile with relief, leaning on his shoulder after a long absence.

The war continued, not only for the Uchiha clan, but also for other ninja clans. However, since Izuna opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, the status of the Uchiha clan has obviously risen and stabilized.

But Fei still felt that it was too early. Although the tribe's combat power had increased, opening their eyes too early was not a good thing.

He needs to go faster.

Since Izuna took over some of the clan affairs, Uchiha Madara, as the clan leader, finally had a short break. The three brothers sat together after a long absence, and after drinking the tea in the cups, Ban and Izuna also helped to organize the scrolls.

"I'm going to go out for a while." Fei lowered his head to organize his things, and said casually, "It will take about four or five days. I have already arranged the tasks during this period. The task of assisting my brother will be handed over to Izuna."

As the second in command of the clan, Tobi's strength was gradually recognized. Although he rarely used the Sharingan and did not even look like a normal Uchiha, everyone gradually recognized him.

After all, the second-in-command who handles things in an orderly, smart and steady manner complements the powerful patriarch.

But Tobi also knew that in terms of brains and strategies, Izuna was no less capable than him. Moreover, now that Izuna had opened the Kaleidoscope, it was just the right opportunity to transfer most of the power.

But after hearing the other two people frowning and showing the same puzzled expression, Ban put down the things in his hands and snorted coldly: "Hey, who is talking too much again?"

"No, the main point is that I have to go out for something." Fei corrected, "And if Izunai is not with Brother Ban, I will not feel at ease."

The other two were obviously pleased by this simple sentence. Izuna suppressed the corners of her mouth that were raised, but she still responded rationally: "No, it's too dangerous recently."

In order to fight for supplies, ninjas have become a bottomless existence. A lone ninja separated from the team and the tribe is easy to be attacked without reason.

Fei raised his hands, knelt down and said seriously: "I have Flying Thunder God, I will never be stupid enough to fall into a trap."

Wrinkled Eyebrows began to think. He did not question his younger brothers' abilities. On the contrary, he was very proud of how strong his two younger brothers were.

There are only a handful of strong men who can hurt Kai, and he can also teleport instantly. So under the pleading gaze of those crimson eyes, Uchiha Madara, as his brother, naturally softened his heart.

"Okay, if there's anything wrong, just use Flying Thunder God to send us flying."

Seeing that Madara had given in, Izunai grumbled and did not try to stop him: "I just happened to have a difficult mission on my hands. A hiding place has been exposed. I suspect it's the Senju gang again!"

Speaking of the Senju clan, Uchiha Izuna's tone was obviously filled with resentment. There were many strong men in the Senju clan, but only Hashirama Senju could compete with Izuna who had opened the Mangekyō.

Therefore, when the situation is unequal, Senshou will inevitably take some actions.

Uchiha Tobi was also aware of this, and it was precisely because the Senju had also taken action that he needed to go out.

Uchiha Madara noticed Tobi's serious expression, so he said, "Leave this matter to Izuna."

Uchiha Tobi didn't distrust Izuna, he was just worried about the next plan. However, after a little preparation, he left the clan alone.

After sneaking in the dark for a day and a night, Tobirama roughly figured out Senju's movements. He then used the Flying Thunder God Seal to quickly reach a high place and prepared to start searching.

But the moment he landed, he realized something was wrong. This Flying Thunder God Mark was very hidden and should not be discovered. But it was inevitable that no one would get close to it.

As a perceptive ninja, he could naturally detect the movement a hundred meters away. He didn't know if he had noticed it, but he judged that it was probably an empty team.

It is not very safe to move in the area where the Senju clan operates, but Fumi is confident that he will not be discovered.

There is not much time left, and after using Flying Thunder God to teleport quickly many times, the body is inevitably a little tired.

Then Uchiha Tobi got an unexpected result, that is, Hashirama Senju was not the leader of this mission.

The exposure of the location where the Uchiha hid their supplies was an accident, but after learning about this, Uchiha Tobi quickly came up with an idea.

This hiding place was not close to the tribe, but it stored nearly 30% of the tribe's supplies. If it was attacked and destroyed, the number of tribe members left behind during the winter would double.

The Senju clan would not give up such a good opportunity, and Tobirama deliberately spread the word to let them know that this time they would be facing Izuna who possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan.

So in order to complete the task, the clan leader, Hashirama Senju, must come. But he didn't expect that Hashirama Senju was not in the raiding team.

If Hashirama Senju was in the clan land, it might be difficult to contact him. But as the clan leader, Hashirama Senju could not stay in the safe clan land.

Could it be that the Senju clan has a mission more important than inflicting heavy damage to the Uchiha?

Uchiha Tobi squatted on the tree and thought, then made a risky decision. He was ready to stop a Senjutsu and torture him with illusion.

Although it is only a two-magatama Sharingan, it can still succeed in attacking a ninja with average strength without any defense.

What's more, he is now in the area where the Senju clan is active. Those guys would never have thought that enemies would appear in the place they thought was safe.

After a careful search, Uchiha Tobiraki set his sights on a patrolling Senju guarding the edge of the area. The man was very alert to the other side of the river in front of him, always paying attention to the enemy's sudden attack.

But he didn't expect that the "enemy" came from behind where he thought he was safe.

The thin thread swished down, with a sharp kunai tied at the end. The kunai used its strength to embed itself deeply into the cracks of the rocks and tree trunks.

After reducing the noise of his attack as much as possible, Uchiha Tobi opened his eyes. After a brief resistance, he got the answer he wanted.

It was no different from what was expected. This Senju was just an ordinary guard with limited access to information.

Fei hid the man behind a rock and was about to leave when he noticed something moving under his feet.

Several thick branches rose from the ground, and as I dodged, those branches followed closely behind as if they had life.

The familiar chakra surprised Tobi. Looking at the murderous intent revealed on that serious face, he didn't know whether he should feel grateful for the coincidence of Senju Hashirama's coming, or be annoyed by the embarrassment of the situation.

He was looking for Hashirama Senju to discuss something with him. Although they would not shake hands and make peace, it was definitely not a scene like this.

Although no one knows when he came, Senju, who was lying behind the stone, was definitely seen.

Uchiha Tobi felt a little guilty. While dodging, he hesitated whether to leave first.

If he missed this opportunity, he wouldn't know when the next one would come. And the situation was getting increasingly tense, so he couldn't delay any longer.

Just as he was about to explain, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground. It was a black-haired woman who hurried over. Her serious expression softened after she saw Senju Hashirama: "Master, clan leader."

When she sensed an attack, she rushed to the tribe without hesitation. She saw the tribe leader from a distance, so she felt a little relieved.

But as soon as she landed, she saw the white-haired boy who had taken off his hood, with a look of surprise on his face.

Mei originally intended to pull down his hood to show his sincerity and talk openly, but when he noticed someone else approaching, it was too late to cover it up again.

"Enemy?" Senju Taohua held a kunai in her hand, "Master Patriarch, do you want to contact other people?"

Senju Hashirama withdrew his hand and signaled Taohua to help the unconscious tribesman up. After carefully checking him, Taohua said, "He's fine, he just got knocked unconscious."

All eyes turned to him at once, and Uchiha Tobiki stood there, feeling very awkward.

There was no trace of a smile on Senju Hashirama's face, and although he had no murderous intent, his brows were becoming increasingly furrowed.

"Leave this to me. Taohua, you follow the plan."

The tightly tied up Fei blinked his eyes. He remained motionless, but his wrists moved quietly under his sleeves.

Qianshou Taohua wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, out of trust in the clan leader, she took her clan members and left first.

Birds flew across the river, and fish leaped across the water, making tiny sounds. These sounds broke the silence, and I met those cold eyes.

"Do you think I won't kill you? Uchiha Tobi."

The tone was very serious, and Uchiha Tobi felt a little scared, but he didn't show it on his face: "No, I came here this time because I want to communicate with you about something."

Senju Hashirama raised an eyebrow. He sat down on a rock by the river and said patiently, "Communication? Do you think there can be communication between the Senju and the Uchiha?"

These words were a little subtle, but Tobi could still see the subtle curve at the corner of Hashirama's mouth.

The hatred between Senju and Uchiha is from generation to generation and has been integrated into their blood. It is not easy to break this prejudice, but Tobi believes that it can be changed.

No, it should be said that he believed in Hashirama Senju. The first time he saw him, Uchiha Tobirama had such a premonition.

"I think the prejudices between ninjas can be broken." Uchiha Tobi easily broke free from his restraints and sat down while rubbing his wrist. "Now in the Land of Fire, the Uchiha and Senju clans are the most powerful. If the two clans can take the initiative to shake hands and make peace, then they can lead the other ninja clans."

The Senju and Uchiha clans are not only the accumulation of past generations and have strong talents. In this generation, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara are both able to destroy an ordinary ninja clan with their own strength.

If the two clans are willing, they can join hands to create a ruling situation. But at the same time, if the Senju and Uchiha are the representatives, other ninja clans will also defect one after another and achieve a situation of "friendly coexistence".

Uchiha Tobi's words were very straightforward, but to the point. He analyzed the current situation in a logical way, and the future depended on the possibility.

After listening to this, Hashirama Senju did not show any excitement or expression of having met a confidant.

He was very calm, holding his chin with one hand and said: "You said that the fight between the Senju and Uchiha will allow other ninja clans to reap the benefits."

"How can you think such a future is possible when you are so wary of other ninjas?" Senju Hashirama stood up and looked directly at the man in front of him. "Such peace is only temporary and false, and it can be easily broken."

This question did not stump the white-haired boy. He smiled and said confidently, "It will definitely work because I believe in you."

"I have to admit that you are very strong. And so is my brother. If you are willing, under the pressure of a certain strength, such a future is possible."

Maybe not now, or in the next few years. They may need decades or even hundreds of years to adjust to each other. But as long as the efforts of generations come together, a peaceful situation will eventually come.

The young man had a yearning expression on his face, and he looked determined as if he had seen such a future with his own eyes. Senju Hashirama was touched, and he cared a lot about the words "I believe in you".

Creating a village, a place where people can live in peace, was an idea that Hashirama Senju had when he was young. At that time, his youngest brother died on the battlefield. Although he was very painful, he also understood that the root of all this was because of the existence of war.

As long as there was no war, as long as there was no more hatred between them, his younger brother would not have to die and would not have to go to the battlefield.

But war is cruel, and he is just a "child" who cannot refute even his father's scolding.

Then, his last brother died. Then, he found like-minded friends and rekindled his hope for the future.

But that was in the past. After becoming the patriarch, he also understood his father's painstaking efforts.

But the familiar young man in front of him gave him righteous advice, which made his originally dormant thoughts begin to sprout again.

"You really don't look like an Uchiha." Senju Hashirama smiled and put his hand on Tobi's shoulder. "So how do you think you should persuade Madara?"

Seeing the boy's regret after being stunned, Senju Hashirama couldn't help but chuckle: "Hahahaha, you haven't told Madara about this yet, have you?"

Uchiha Tobi felt a little guilty. He pinched the side of his cheek and looked at the people around him: "So, do you also think that such a future is possible?"

The person in front of him smiled but said nothing, but after a moment, Fei heard a very soft reply.

"Yeah, I've always wanted to see that kind of future."

Even if he deliberately forgot it because of the reality, in his heart, Hashirama Senju always wanted to work hard for that future.

But no one believed such a statement, even his tribe members would question it. But the boy's expression was firm, which touched him.

Uchiha Tobi's idea is very "selfish". He just wants to care about the people he loves and live a happy and easy life. He doesn't care about the situation of other ninjas.

But Senju Hashirama is different, he is a man with great love.
