Not a replacement
Half of the boy's face was shrunk, hidden in the fluffy fur collar. After noticing this, [Senju Hashirama] took action directly, holding the boy's chin with two fingers, and showing the face to everyone.
The red pupils were the same, and even the positions of the three scars on the face were accurate. The boy was annoyed by being stared at, and after showing an impatient expression, he slapped the hand on his chin away.
Senju Hashirama felt strange, and then reached out and pinched the cheek of the man. Unlike their stiff and cold skin, the touch under his hand was that of a living person.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked surprised and turned to ask, "Teacher, what is this——"
Senju Tobirama's expression was also very surprised. He frowned and said to his brother who was still smiling: "Brother, stop playing."
Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a curious expression. He coughed and asked, "Young man, are you the wandering Senju bloodline?"
This was said in a tactful way, but everyone understood it directly. Could it be that this white-haired boy was the illegitimate son of Tobirama Senju?
No, no, no, the age doesn't match. He should be the descendant of an illegitimate child. After all, Princess Tsunade, the granddaughter of Hashirama, has already become the fifth generation.
The first person to deny Sarutobi Hiruzen's guess was not Tobirama. Senju Hashirama still had a cheerful expression on his face, but his tone was firm: "No, he is Tobirama."
He watched Tobirama grow up, from a small ball that could be held in his arms to the steady and reliable second-generation leader. Hashirama remembered every stage of his life clearly.
This similarity does not refer to a copy of appearance, but rather an intuition as an older brother.
"Eh, so there are two Nidaime?" Naruto leaned over to look, and imitated Hashirama, stroking his chin and thinking.
The more he looked at them, the more they looked alike. He turned his head to the side and simply ignored the gazes that were falling on him.
Uchiha Itachi took the initiative to step forward and speak up at the suggestion of a look: "Hokage, now is not the time to get tangled up in this matter."
The fighting is now in full swing on the battlefield. If they delay any longer, there will be more casualties.
Senju Hashirama naturally thought of this, so he put away his smile and nodded, saying, "That's true. Let's go over and provide support."
Uchiha Tobi thought he could stay away from these people, but Senju Hashirama grabbed his shoulders skillfully, as if he wanted to go with them.
Looking at him suspiciously, Hashirama just smiled and explained, "I will protect Tobirama."
On the other side, Senju Tobirama heard this and showed the same disgusted expression as the young man.
The battlefield was very dangerous, and Senju Hashirama naturally did not want the boy in front of him to take risks. As an elder brother, he knew very well that the man in front of him was Tobirama in his youth, not an illusion or a fake.
If the boy got hurt, it would be a big blow to him. But as the God of Ninja World, he was confident that he could protect Tobirama.
Because he knew clearly that if he let go of his hand, Tobirama would simply disappear and no one would be able to find him.
After understanding his brother's thoughts, Senju Tobirama also stepped forward and left the mark of Flying Thunder God on the boy's cuffs.
What a trouble... I should not have joined in the fun, Uchiha Tobirami calculated the time with an expressionless face, and sure enough, not long after, there was noise outside.
The noise made by Suigetsu and his companions was so loud that the Konoha guards naturally noticed it. They have probably already quietly surrounded the laboratory.
And when chaos arises, he just needs to take the opportunity to leave.
But it was a little different from what she had expected. After calming down, Karin wiped her eyes and said with fear and nervousness: "That Uchiha Madara! He's outside!"
Uchiha Madara, who started the Fourth War, was their common enemy. Karin explained hurriedly, but she didn't notice the change in the expressions of the Uchiha present.
Naruto, who knew the situation, did not think it was wrong. He nodded and said, "Yes, Madara is waiting for us outside."
"Idiot." Sasuke complained.
After hearing what Karin said, Uchiha Tobi understood why it was so quiet outside.
Suigetsu and his companions probably attracted the attention of the guards since they arrived in Konoha. The reason why they were able to enter smoothly was probably because they were close to here, and Uchiha Madara directly stopped the guards who were chasing them to avoid being discovered.
Tobi held his forehead, exhaled, and returned the way he came. Senju Hashirama followed him directly, and the rest of the people looked at each other and followed him.
There were indeed quite a few people lying on the ground outside. Most of them were knocked unconscious but not injured.
After seeing Fumi, Ban, who was holding a round fan, immediately got rid of his bored expression: "Fumi, we..."
Before he could finish his words, upon seeing Senju Hashirama, Madara's smile suddenly disappeared.
Although Tobi explained in advance that this "Hashirama" was not that Hashirama, he couldn't smile when he thought about the guy's mistake that caused his brother to be injured.
When he saw Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama immediately revealed a solemn expression: "You are not dead, Uchiha Madara."
It was an identical face, but more mature. Uchiha Madara opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Even though he knew that this Tobirama was not his brother, as an elder brother, he was still deeply hurt by that expression and tone.
Noticing Madara's low mood, Uchiha Tobi was about to step forward without hesitation, but the person behind him grabbed his arm.
[Senju Hashirama] grabbed the boy and hid him behind his back, while asking with deep sorrow, "Madara, why did you do this?"
Uchiha Madara didn't know why he did this, he only knew that if Senju Hashirama didn't let go, he could raze this area to the ground.
After noticing that Uchiha Madara was angry, the others also took serious precautions.
"What do you want to do to the door!" Ban asked fiercely, waving the round fan in his hand high.
[Senju Hashirama] still had a casual expression on his face. He turned around and asked, "Tobi? Are they calling you?"
He had hoped countless times that his best friend and his younger brother could get along well. But even if Konoha was established, this idea was still a luxury.
Uchiha Tobi nodded, and after exerting a little force, he finally pulled his hand free. However, Hashirama's nonchalant look made the elder brother completely unable to sit still.
"Senju Hashirama! That's my brother, mine!" one of the brothers shouted angrily.
But everyone else had a puzzled expression, especially Senju Tobirama himself, who looked as if he had something to suffer but could not express it.
Seeing this, Uchiha Tobi directly used the Flying Thunder God Seal and appeared beside Madara.
Uchiha Madara was still very angry. He grabbed Tobi's wrist tightly with one hand and glared at him. Everyone present was confused, except for the two Uchiha brothers.
Mingren also had only a vague idea of what was going on, and no one had explained to him what was going on, so he held his cheeks and made a strange cry of "Eh".
"What's going on?" Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but ask in front of everyone's attention, "Teacher?"
Senju Tobirama was also surprised, but he was the second generation who had experienced many ups and downs after all, so he quickly reacted: "What a joke, Uchiha Madara. Don't argue with me. Let's not talk about why you are still alive and claim to be my brother. What are your plans!"
Everyone has seen it. Not to mention that all the Uchiha people have black hair and black eyes, there has never been a single one with white hair and red eyes.
And Senju Tobirama also knew that Uchiha Madara hated him very much and never even gave him a good look.
As if hurt by the questioning expression, Uchiha Madara, who was originally furious, suddenly subsided. The tall man suddenly looked a little confused.
Uchiha Madara naturally knew that in this world, "Tobiraki" was not his brother. He also knew that white hair and red eyes did not look like an Uchiha.
But after more than ten years of friendship, even if Tobi is not an Uchiha, Madara will not question his brother. Moreover, when the little child was born, he personally took the child from his mother's hands.
The little and soft body was delivered to their arms amidst his and his father's expectations. Fei was born in the tribe, and his mother would never betray his father.
Uchiha Tobirama felt the tremor of the person in front of him. He naturally understood Madara's confusion, so he shook the hand back firmly and said, "I am not you, Senju Tobirama."
The boy's voice was hoarse and he seemed to be out of breath. He spoke slowly but his words were clear.
"My name is Uchiha Tobira."
As he spoke, a black pattern appeared in his red eyes. The black magatama spun, forming a new pattern.
Everyone was shocked, including Uchiha Madara who was standing beside him. He hesitated and stretched out a hand: "Your eyes..."
But within a few days, without his noticing, his brother had opened the kaleidoscope.
Madara knew that it took a huge stimulation to open the Mangekyo. When Izuna opened the Mangekyo, he was happy for his brother, but he also felt very distressed.
Fortunately, with his and Tobi's company, Izuna slowly recovered. But in this short period of time, Tobi suffered tremendous pain alone in a place he couldn't see.
The guilt was about to overwhelm a brother who felt he was not up to the standard. Uchiha Tobi noticed and interrupted him in time. He shook his head and comforted him: "It's okay, big brother."
Seeing his younger brother calling someone else "brother" was a strange feeling. [Senju Hashirama] did not look disappointed or shocked, instead his eyes sparkled.
"I really miss you." [Senju Hashirama] showed an expectant expression, "So, can Tobira call me brother too?"
The Tobirama of this age was the most well-behaved in Hashirama's memory. At that time, his younger brother would deliberately put on a stern face, but he could not help but beg him to do something, and then agreed while struggling.
However, when Tobirama began to manage the affairs of the clan, he became ruthless and impartial.
"Senju Hashirama!"
“Brother!”
The older brother who felt offended and the younger brother who was right there but was being used as a substitute also shouted out in anger.
