Chương 74: This is my battle

Tobirama adopted a very humble posture. If he didn't maintain politeness and humility in front of this person now, he would definitely suffer the consequences later.

"Lord Mito, my brother is just a little..."

"I know, a childlike heart," Mito said.

"The first impression wasn't bad; in fact, it was quite endearing. If it were a serious old man..."

Mito glanced at Tobirama but didn't continue.

In terms of high emotional intelligence, it means having a childlike heart.

To put it bluntly, he's a spoiled, immature brat who never grew up.

Tobirama breathed a sigh of relief, his gloomy face breaking into a smile.

"It seems you know quite a bit about my elder brother."

Mito nodded and said, "No one in the ninja world is unaware of the God of the Ninja World."

His personality had already spread throughout the ninja world after the Five Kage Summit. At the time, it was a good story, but now it has a different flavor.

Tobirama felt that no one could dislike his elder brother's charisma, especially women who admire heroes; they would find it hard to resist.

"Since the Hokage is so free, what does he usually do? What are his hobbies? Does he go shopping?" Mito's purpose was to understand another side of Hashirama Senju, a side that transcends his heroic and legendary aura.

Upon hearing this, Tobirama's face stiffened. How could he tell his future sister-in-law that his older brother was a gambling addict whose usual hobby was gambling big?

"Lord Mito, you should go and see for yourself." What else could he do but warn his older brother not to go to the casino for a while, hoping that his brother could control himself, as he couldn't stop him at all.

Mito nodded and smiled, "You must have heard about that rumor in the ninja world."

"What rumors?" Tobirama asked.

"The First Shinobi World War has begun, a fateful battle between the Senju and Uchiha clans." Mito smiled, looking towards Konoha Village.

Kagura Shin's eyes were filled with the scenes of various ninja clans. They were plotting and each had their own plans. What seemed like a great tree was on the verge of falling apart at any moment. Hidden beneath it were various deadly crises.

Intelligent people don't need much conversation. Tobirama said in a deep voice, "My brother will win."

"It seems that even a man like you believes it's a fight to the death, with no room for retreat," Mito said.

"The evil Uchiha are all madmen. This is not something Big Brother can choose," Tobirama said, glancing at Mito with a strange look in his eyes. The choice of Jinchuriki is going to be a disaster.

"That puts my mind at ease." Mito stood up and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm just taking a stroll around the village."

"Then please go ahead, Lord Mito. I am busy with official duties, so I will be impolite to accompany you," Tobirama said.

Mito waved his hand and said, "You're busy." He then got up and left.

After Mito left, leaving a shadow clone to continue handling official business, Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique disappeared from the house and appeared in the Senju residence, in his elder brother's bedroom.

Normally, Tobirama would give his older brother a lot of face, but now he's in a real predicament!

Hashirama was pulled up by Tobirama. Hashirama, dressed in pajamas, looked a little confused and asked, "What's wrong, Tobirama?"

"You should cheer up, big brother!" Tobirama hadn't originally planned to tell Hashirama about this beforehand.

Hashirama yawned and said, "I'm full of energy."

Tobirama cut to the chase: "Madara Uchiha is currently collecting the Nine-Tails in the ninja world. Once he has finished capturing it, he will come looking for you."

If we're talking about who in the ninja world understands Madara Uchiha the most, Hashirama Senju is definitely one of them.

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju's aura visibly darkened, his face turned gloomy, and he suddenly lost his spirit.

"He came to kill me," Hashirama Senju said in a low voice.

"It's come to this in the end."

He had a premonition.

"You shouldn't have let him go! You should have kept him here from the start!" Tobirama said irritably.

"I can't keep him here," Hashirama Senju said solemnly.

"Besides, it shouldn't be me, Senju, who broke the agreement."

"No matter what," Tobirama asked in a deep voice, "Brother, how confident are you in defeating him?"

Hashirama remained silent for a long time.

"Fifty percent, I am evenly matched with him."

"With a determination to kill, perhaps the scales of victory will tip in my favor."

Seeing this, Tobirama said in a deep voice, "For the sake of the village! You absolutely cannot lose! Brother!"

Hashirama looked out the window at the clear sky for a long time, sighed, and then nodded solemnly.

"Brother, do you think the information was deliberately leaked by Madara Uchiha?" Tobirama asked.

After thinking for a while, Hashirama shook his head and said, "Madara wouldn't do such a thing."

The intelligence came from the gold exchange, and there are fewer than five people in the entire ninja world who can find information about Uchiha Madara.

Who could be targeting Konoha on purpose?

Having eliminated all the impossibilities, Tobirama pictured the face of Oni-hime in his mind.

Tobirama took out a portrait he had drawn himself and handed it to Hashirama, saying, "Brother, do you recognize the girl in this picture?"

Hashirama sized her up. Not long after, the impression was still vivid. Among the group of ninjas, this girl looked quite young. His wood clone hesitated and softened for a moment, but in the end, he decided to kill her. A girl of this age selected to join the team that was trying to assassinate him was a so-called genius elite. If he didn't deal with her, she would cause big trouble in the future.

"She's not dead!?" Hashirama's eyes widened slightly as he said, "I should have killed her."

Tobirama's pupils contracted slightly. He had even fought with his elder brother and managed to survive without his knowledge?

"I understand, brother," Tobirama said.

"Who is she?" Hashirama asked.

"Her codename is Oni-hime," Tobirama said.

"The one who came to our village not long ago, swaggering around like a tyrant."

"It's her..." Hashirama said after a moment of silence, "Did you realize something by asking me this so suddenly?"

"The information about Madara Uchiha may have been leaked by her," Tobirama said.

"It spread widely throughout the ninja world through underground gold exchange shops."

"Then I should thank her for reminding me," Hashirama said.

What are you thanking me for? Your malicious intentions are truly disgusting.

Both the evil Madara Uchiha and his elder brother have been put on the spot. Originally, there might have been room for maneuver, but now, this fight is inevitable. Moreover, the most disgusting thing is that the entire ninja world is in turmoil because of this information. The veil of peace on the surface is already on the verge of collapse.

Everyone can realize this.

Even Mito Uzumaki came specifically to test the waters, suggesting that things might have changed regarding the alliance.

Once the eldest brother falls, the future of Konoha is far from optimistic.

"Big brother, we need to find the Nine-Tails first. We can't let Madara Uchiha gain more power," Tobirama said.

"Tobirama, this is my battle," Hashirama said solemnly, looking at Tobirama.

Tobirama's expression stiffened.

Hashirama then added, "No matter how many people we send, they'll just be throwing their lives away against Madara. Let him go find the most troublesome Nine-Tails and deliver it to me. I will never lose!"

Seeing that his elder brother was offering him a way out, Tobirama nodded with a sour face.
