Reasons for turning

The neatly arranged kunai were wiped clean and finally put into the scrolls in different categories. The black-haired boy, who was fully prepared, specially re-tied his hair, and finally packed up his things and prepared to set off.

"Izuna?"

Not long after Uchiha Izuna walked out of the door, he ran into Uchiha Madara who had just returned. He showed a happy expression on his face, and then walked up to him quickly: "Brother Madara."

Uchiha raised his eyebrows, looked at Izuna's fully prepared appearance and asked, "Are you going on a mission?"

"Yes." The young man lowered his head to organize and make sure he was ready. "I'm going to support my second brother. I'm still a little worried after three days."

Although he had reminded Fei that if the mission was difficult, he could just give up, but his brother rarely went on missions that took him so long.

Izuna was worried, and although she had agreed to let Tobi complete the mission alone, she still quickly completed the mission and prepared to go for support.

Madara smiled after hearing this, and the two brothers thought of the same thing in tacit understanding: "I am also a little worried, after all, the opponent is Hashirama."

He didn't care how many Senju people the other side sent, but the threat of Senju Hashirama alone was far greater than that of the others.

After nodding, Izuna told him the news sent back by Uchiha Yuji, and the two brothers made some preparations and went out together.

This mission is almost over, and the final success or failure depends on this one move. Izuna rushed to meet with Uchiha Yuji, and then the current situation developed.

The Senju clan has already approached the treasure site together with the city lord and his entourage. The remaining two Uchiha clan members are investigating in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

"Are we going to wait for them to find the treasure first?" Izunai looked thoughtful. "That's a good idea, but what about my second brother?"

Uchiha Yuji answered truthfully. After hearing that Tobi created a new technique and that's why he was asked to take the risk, Izuna was angry at first but then felt really happy.

"The plan has changed. Brother Madara went straight to the killing. You said you didn't see Hashirama Senju? Now go find him as quickly as you can."

Although the boy still looked a little immature, he was very skilled in arranging the matters. Uchiha Yuji did not hesitate, and followed the arrangements and prepared to find the other two Uchiha.

For Uchiha Madara, waiting to intercept others' achievements is impossible, he will just kill them directly and find them before they discover them.

Izuna is not worried about the situation on Madara's side, but after merging with the tribe members and passing the plan, the most important thing is to merge with Madara first.

From a distance, he saw the black smoke rising from the burning, and after a loud noise, all the trees were broken. After determining the direction, Izuna hurried over.

The familiar chakra fluctuations were within reach, and as long as she jumped over the trees in front, she would be able to see the familiar person. But at this time, Izuna heard Madara's furious voice.

"Senju Hashirama!"

Izuna was shocked and surprised. Although she didn't want to admit it, Hashirama was indeed a strong man who could rival Madara. But all along, when Madara mentioned Hashirama Senju, he mostly admired and recognized him, and he had never heard such an angry voice.

The trees that were blocking her view were gone, and the sunlight shone in her face. After closing her eyes for a short while, Izuna saw the current situation clearly.

He then gritted his teeth and suddenly felt his eye sockets getting hot. His black pupils quickly turned red, and the double magatama pattern within them quickly spun, gradually changing into the shape of three magatama.

"Senju Hashirama!!"

Hearing Izuna's voice, Uchiha Tobi was a little surprised. He turned his head and happened to meet the pair of scarlet Sharingan.

Izuna was very excited, with her shoulders heaving up and down. This made Tobi wonder if something happened to Uchiha Yuji and the others, otherwise why were they so excited?

"What on earth do you want to do, Senju Hashirama!" Madara shouted loudly, and he jumped down from a high place, "Despicable!"

The fan that was about to be swung out decisively almost stopped. After considering the possibility of accidental injury, Uchiha Madara gritted his teeth and said, "In exchange, I can let your people go."

Senju Hashirama was a little surprised. He took a few steps forward and quietly hid the white-haired boy behind him. "Want to spar with me? Of course, we can go to another place."

Under the gaze of the two Uchiha's eyes that were about to pop out of their heads, those who were still able to move helped each other away. They knew that the next battle was not something that ordinary people like them could intervene in.

As the tribesmen walked farther and farther away, and until they were at a relatively safe location, Senju Hashirama rubbed his chin with one hand, revealing a thoughtful expression.

According to past habits, the next step should be a hearty fight, and finally a happy farewell. But today's situation is a little special -

"Did you mess with those Uchiha?"

The person in front suddenly turned around and whispered. Uchiha Tobi, who was about to sneak away, was stunned and nodded subconsciously.

The person in front of him immediately showed an expression of "I see". He then clapped his hands and said with a little regret: "I'm sorry, Madara. Although I really want to spar with you, I have more important things to do today--"

Uchiha Madara rarely saw Senju Hashirama show weakness, or rather, he had never seen it before.

That guy always had a smile on his face. Even though they had broken up and there was no possibility of reconciliation, he still smiled and expressed some naive thoughts.

"Madara! We can live in peace sooner or later!"

Those childish and naive words made people feel ridiculous. But Senju Hashirama was an upright man, he would not escape from the battlefield. But today, the man with long straight black hair showed an apologetic smile, and then put his hands together.

"Birth of the Tree World!"

The trees sprouted up quickly, like clawed hands, they took deep roots and blocked the two sides.

Uchiha Madara was slightly stunned. After he reacted, his anger controlled his reason: "Ugh! Senju, Hashirama!"

That guy took his brother away in front of him.

A purple giant rose from the ground, and the wall made of trees was uprooted by the giant hand in the blink of an eye.

The sound of the whistling wind passed by his ears. Uchiha Tobi half closed his eyes and after a slow thought he understood his situation.

He seemed to be a hostage.

The posture of running fast with the weapon trapped under the armpit was not comfortable. Fei said "wait" with difficulty, but it was obviously drowned out by the sound of the wind and the loud noise of the ground collapsing behind him.

"Did you disturb the Uchiha's ancestral tomb? Why are they so persistent?" Senju Hashirama looked back at Yan, smiled and said, "They are really persistent, but it doesn't matter, just run for a while."

The white-haired young man was speechless. He didn't know what to say, but he realized that the person in front of him must have misunderstood.

Suspecting that he had offended an Uchiha, he planned to take him "away", which was kind. If he was not an Uchiha, Tobirama would be touched by Hashirama's sincerity.

"Senju Hashirama!" Tobirama shouted loudly, and stretched out his hand when the other party's movements slowed down a little.

He struggled to hold Hashirama's cheek with one hand, and the latter turned his head to the side. Taking the opportunity of looking at each other, Tobiki closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again.

In the crimson eyes, there is a swirling black magatama pattern.

Uchiha Tobi performed an illusion, and the person in front of him successfully opened his mouth slowly. It wasn't that the illusion was very advanced, and from the blink of Hashirama's eyes, it could be seen that this poor illusion only worked for less than a second.

But it's enough.

Senju Hashirama stopped completely, but the attack from behind followed. A huge figure slashed at him with a long sword, and although he was in a trance, he still dodged by instinct.

Uchiha Madara didn't use his full strength at all. He was worried about accidental injuries, and he was angry and resentful. Especially when he saw that Senju Hashirama held Tobi's cheeks with both hands, he was even more furious.

His cheeks were held tightly, and Uchiha Tobi rolled his eyes unnaturally. At the same time, he could clearly see the increasingly solemn expression of the person in front of him.

Will he die? Because he deceived him.

Although Tobi had a backup plan, he made sure that he could use Flying Thunder God to leave the moment the person in front of him showed murderous intent. But looking at those deep eyes, he felt strangely confident.

Will not die.

Senju Hashirama loosened his grip, but his shoulders slumped as well. "Are you... Uchiha?"

Uchiha Tobi took two steps back calmly and nodded: "Yes, Uchiha Tobi."

"Is that so?" The expressionless man suddenly chuckled and then lowered his head. "Uchiha... Tobi."

Izuna was so anxious that he didn't care about Hashirama Senju. He jumped off Susanoo, pulled Tobi's wrist hard and retreated.

The sharp blade pointed straight at him, and Hashirama nimbly retreated to a certain distance. Madara temporarily released Susanoo, and before beating Hashirama, he first nervously observed the situation of Tobi.

"I'm fine." Uchiha Tobi opened his arms in cooperation, and was then protected behind him by the two people, one big and one small, in front of him.

"You're crazy, Senju Hashirama, I didn't expect you to be such a person." After Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief, he laughed angrily, "I didn't expect you to be such a despicable villain!"

The black-haired boy looks like Madara, and although he is younger, he can be seen as Madara's younger brother. Hashirama Senju has also seen Izuna on the battlefield.

He knew that Uchiha Izuna was Uchiha Madara's younger brother. He also knew that Uchiha Madara had another younger brother named Uchiha Tobi.

But he didn't expect that Uchiha Tobi and the Tobi he knew were the same person.

The white-haired boy rubbed his eyes subconsciously, as if he was not used to using the Sharingan. Hashirama Senju remained silent, then smiled and said, "Sorry, Madara, I didn't know he was your brother."

He understood why Madara was so anxious. If it were him, he would be even more anxious.

The pair of eyes looked over again, and Uchiha Tobi felt guilty for some reason. But Izuna had already stood in the middle angrily, with her arms open, as if protecting a monkey.

"What do you want to do to my second brother? You don't have a younger brother yourself, so you want to kill someone else's younger brother?" The black-haired boy said in a cold voice, every word was heartbreaking.

A long time ago, Izuna heard Madara talk about Hashirama, including how they knew each other. He was just a villain who took advantage of the death of his two younger brothers to gain Madara's sympathy and get close to him!

His eyes darkened, but Hashirama still patiently explained: "No..."

"That's enough!" Madara interrupted angrily, "Senju Hashirama, I trusted you wrongly."

The tall man visibly sank under the accusation and was almost squatting and drawing circles in the corner.

Uchiha Tobi was a little surprised, but Uchiha Madara yelled as if it was normal: "Don't look so depressed! No one will pity you!"

Uchiha Tobi couldn't bear it. After all, it was his "deception" that caused this misunderstanding, so he coughed and tugged at Madara's sleeve.

"Go back, brother."

The depressed man immediately raised his head, and then, under the stare of two pairs of Sharingans, he pinched the side of his cheek.

Uchiha Tobi held one person with each hand, and softened his tone for once, half coaxing and half pulling the two people away: "Let's go, I'll explain it to you when I get back."

Izuna glared at him again, and then he was very pleased with the gentle tone. He hugged Tobi's arm tightly, with a hateful expression: "I'll let you go this time, Senju Hashirama!"

Madara didn't want to make things irreparable, and as an older brother, he was not good at refusing his younger brother's request.

The mission ended in vain, or rather, it should have never had any result. The so-called treasure was just something Mo Xuwu had.

However, as a reward for the trip, the nobleman still paid a lot of money, which could buy a lot of supplies, at least no more people would starve to death this winter.

After explaining what Flying Thunder God was to the two Uchiha, Tobi had time to take a bath and relax. After changing into clean clothes, he turned his attention to the black-covered book.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, or should we say, the harvest is quite rich.

After dealing with Izuna's concern and handing the kunai with the Flying Thunder God mark to the two of them, Uchiha Tobi finally had some time alone.

His room was tidy, except for the desk which was piled with papers and scrolls.

He tried to open the book, looked at the familiar handwriting, and began to study it carefully. But slowly, his eyes became more and more solemn.

This is not a "script". There is no subsequent plot or character introduction in it, but its existence is far more important than a "script".

It records many techniques that have never been seen before, or should I say, techniques that have not been invented yet.

The first one is the familiar pattern, Flying Thunder God Technique, which is not only introduced in detail, but even more detailed than his creation. To be precise, it is a complete version.

And there were other techniques recorded in it. After reading it, Uchiha Tobi was shocked beyond belief.

For example, there is the Reincarnation Technique that can bring the dead back to life, and there is also the Sealing Technique that can seal wounds and put people in a state of suspended animation.

If the latter technique is combined with therapeutic technique, it can have the effect of bringing the person back to life. As long as the opportunity is controlled well, there is still a breath left.

But this technique has its flaws, that is, the second half has not been completed. It should be combined with a technique for instant healing, but this technique seems a bit too much.

However, wounds from severed hands and feet can be treated promptly through sealing techniques.

Most of the techniques recorded in the book gave me a familiar feeling.

These techniques are very useful, but most of them have defects, which are the so-called side effects. Learning them also takes time and a lot of chakra, so Uchiha Tobi is not in a hurry.

What he cared about more was the record in the second half of the book. It was about the Sharingan.

The introduction to the Sharingan is more detailed than what has been passed down from generation to generation in the Uchiha clan. Those familiar parts can be confirmed that these words are not made up.

The final evolutionary point of the Sharingan is not the Mangekyō. Above the Mangekyō is the Eternal Mangekyō and even the Rinnegan.

The introduction of the Mangekyō and the Samsara Eye is quite astonishing. The power of the Samsara Eye is too amazing, especially the large-scale illusion that appears with the Samsara Eye, the "Infinite Moonlight Reading", which is recorded in the book.

After the research on Sharingan, there was an introduction to Wood Release and Yin-Yang Release. After reading this, Lu Ninja's idea became more certain.

That Senju Hashirama is indeed the "protagonist".

It is impossible to fully understand this book in a short time. Lu Shinobu rubbed his aching head and realized that he was too obsessed with it.

Familiar handwriting, thoughtful introduction, who left these things? He didn't think 005 would be so kind, and the strangeness revealed everywhere did not make him feel dangerous, but instead a kind of curiosity that he must try.

The last few pages of the book were filled with uneven gaps. Stroking the rough pages, Uchiha Tobi began to wonder if the missing pages contained important content.

The book was so useful that for at least the next year he had little mood to think about anything else.

Winter is coming fast, and as the temperature drops, more people choose to stay at home. Uchiha Tobi, who is on duty, is preparing to put on more clothes and go out.

The wind was bitingly cold. Fei rubbed his nose and waved to the people he knew.

Uchiha Yuji looked at the curled-up Tobi, shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Is it very cold? Doesn't your fur collar block the wind?"

I don't know when it started, but Uchiha Tobi has been wearing a white fur collar every day. His neck is shrunk, and most of his face is hidden inside.

Uchiha Tobi responded vaguely and then leaned against the pillar. While keeping an eye on the door, he recalled the new technique he had learned.

After studying for a whole day and night and then being dragged out of the room because of coma, Uchiha Madara, as the eldest brother, finally got angry. He confiscated the book and ordered him to have a good rest.

But it didn't matter, he had almost memorized it. But he also understood that there were some techniques that he couldn't touch at present.

The use of those techniques not only required proficiency and skills, but also required a large amount of chakra and a certain price. Although he had memorized them, he would not risk his life.

And speaking of chakra, it's time to find a solution to the Sharingan that has been consuming chakra.

The most straightforward way is to dig it out and replace it with a pair of eyes that are not Sharingan. But Tobi is not that crazy yet, and he shuddered when the idea just came to his mind.

With the help of the research on Sharingan in the notebook, Uchiha Tobi was prepared to take advantage of his status as an Uchiha and the convenience of forcing and inducing his fellow clansmen to cooperate, to gain a deeper understanding of Sharingan.

Excessive use of the Mangekyō will cause blindness. Although Uchiha Madara, the owner of the Mangekyō, did not feel this way, Uchiha Tobi was still prepared for the worst.

The only way to solve the blindness of the Kaleidoscope is to let it evolve into the Eternal Kaleidoscope. But unfortunately, the only method recorded is to replace the Kaleidoscope of a loved one.

Both of them must be kaleidoscopes. This is such a tricky and demanding requirement.

Uchiha Tobi touched his eyes and thought that he probably didn't need to worry about this. But Izuna, who had already opened the three-magatama Sharingan, would open the Mangekyo sooner or later with his talent.

Does it mean that one of the three of them has to go blind no matter what? Looking at Izuna's dependent smile, Uchiha Tobi rubbed his arms silently.

Forget it... I'd better stay up late and study it while they aren't paying attention.

Inexplicably, on an ordinary afternoon, Uchiha Tobi opened his two-magatama Sharingan. He only felt the heat in his eyes, and then learned the fact that he had opened two magatama under Izuna's worried and happy expression.

The opening of the Sharingan requires sufficient stimulation. Mei didn't feel that his emotions were stimulated, but looking at the happy expressions of the two brothers, he couldn't say anything else.

"Okay, forget about telling Yuji." Tobi rolled up his sleeves and pulled Uchiha Madara. "And you, Izuna, you've been using your eyes too much lately, right? Give me a good rest."

Izuna stared with a pair of dry eyes, not understanding why Tobi asked them to save their eyes. As soon as Uchiha Madara breathed a sigh of relief, Tobi looked at him nonchalantly: "And you too, big brother."

Uchiha Madara did not object to his brother's research on the Sharingan, and he was even happy to be the one being studied. But every time he saw Tobi's brows getting deeper and deeper, he couldn't help but worry.

All these mysteries were solved when he saw the stone slab deep in the clan’s land.

Uchiha Tobi didn't know what was wrong with Madara recently, because he was always out early and back late. He had no choice but to change his research subject to Izuna.

Winter passed and spring came, and another winter was approaching, but an unprecedented war broke out in the Fire Nation.

It seems that there is a conflict with another country, and the daimyo of the Land of Fire was assassinated. As a result, wars broke out within the Land of Fire and between the major ninja clans.

When ninjas from other countries were waiting for the opportunity to invade and were attacked from all sides, even a powerful ninja clan like the Uchiha clan could not help but feel nervous.

The war continued, and winter was approaching. The atmosphere in the tribe was solemn, and there had been no smiles for a long time. However, children aged seven or eight also followed their elders to the battlefield.

"Brother Madara!" Izuna shouted anxiously, and he stepped forward quickly, "...your eyes."

Although they were in the clan territory, Uchiha Madara still kept his Sharingan open unconsciously. The twin Mangekyō Sharingan shed bright red tears due to the long-term load.

Uchiha Tobi stood not too far away, holding a bowl of not very hot soup in his hand. He looked at Izuna and Madara who were caring and encouraging each other, and finally turned away under the two's confused gazes.

Several tents were built outside the tribe's territory, and the tents were filled with the injured. Some were lying or standing, and their faces were full of numb expressions of being used to it.

The strong smell of blood filled the air. Uchiha Tobirama helped bandage the wounds, and then stood alone at the edge of the clan territory.

He obviously knows a lot about war and has seen similar scenes countless times, so why does he still feel depressed?

The war started because of the fall of the Fire Country Daimyo. Before the heart Daimyo took control of the real power and stabilized his subordinates, they would not have time to manage the ninjas.

But the reason for the war is not just because of this. Even if it is not because of this, it will be another reason. The war has lasted for hundreds and thousands of years, as if it is deeply engraved in the blood of ninjas.

But can the war really not be stopped? Uchiha Tobirama began to ponder, and finally he thought of someone after a long time.

Senju Hashirama, the one he judged to be the "protagonist".

The war will end sooner or later, and there will definitely be someone who will come into being. Although Madara never said it, the long-term use of the Mangekyō Sharingan will still make him somewhat powerless in the duel with Hashirama Senju.

He was absolutely certain that Hashirama Senju was the turning point to stop the war. In addition, Uchiha Madara said that Hashirama Senju seemed to want to build a village, a village where everyone could live in peace and children could grow up healthily.

Shika-nin is not someone who completely belongs to this world. He has seen a peaceful world, so unlike other ninjas, he does not think that such a possibility is naive.

It can even be said that he admired Senju Hashirama's advanced and great ideas. But to achieve such a goal, it requires absolutely strong strength.

Uchiha Tobi thought that he should do something.

After being away from home for several days, Uchiha Tobi saw Izuna with dark circles under his eyes. He touched her head skillfully, letting her rest her forehead on his arm, and said, "Take a break."

Izuna lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long while, he spoke in a muffled voice: "Second brother, will the Mangekyō Sharingan eventually lead to blindness?"

Uchiha Tobi was a little surprised. He didn't know how Izuna knew this: "Have you read my scroll?"

The young man with long black hair did not deny it. He raised his head, tears welling up in his red Sharingan.

"Don't worry too much, I'm here." Fei couldn't say any nice words to comfort her, so he could only touch Izuna's head over and over again.

As if making up her mind, Uchiha Izuna wiped her eyes and smiled: "I am not a child anymore. My second brother is only one year older than me, but I always feel that he is more serious than Madara."

Uchiha Tobi shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Okay, Brother Ban said he would go back to eat tonight, what do you want to eat?"

“Grilled fish.”

This was just a normal conversation. When night came, the family would sit around the table, eat, and talk about what they had seen during the day.

But this ordinary experience was already very precious for ninjas during the war.

All of this will need a turning point sooner or later, and it was Uchiha Izuna who made Uchiha Tobiki determined to make all the changes.

Uchiha Izuna opened the Mangekyō at the age of 17, earlier than the clan leader. The clan was happy for him and felt sincerely happy that the Uchiha clan had one more strong man.

The deadly atmosphere was swept away for a moment, and everyone had a smile on their face, a smile that showed hope of winning.

There were five people who went on the mission with Izuna this time, but the only one who came back alive was... Izuna.

People briefly mourned the deaths of those people, which was the norm in this age of frequent death.
