"Brother, are you still awake?"
Among the Uchiha clan, Izuna Uchiha got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and found that the light in his eldest brother's room was still on.
"Yeah, Izuna."
After the voice came from the eldest brother's room, Izuna gently pushed open the door.
When I pushed open the door before, I seemed to hear a rustling sound.
Brother, it seems like you are hiding something?
Feeling that kind of movement, Izuna couldn't help but laugh.
Brother, what is it that makes you hide from me? Now you don't want me to see it?
"It's so late; why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Seeing his elder brother asking him questions seriously under the candlelight, Izuna Uchiha slowly walked up to his elder brother and sat down.
"Brother, you are still not asleep so late; is there something on your mind?"
Madara Uchiha thought for a moment, looked at Izuna's face, and finally said it.
"In fact, the real culprit who attacked our people has not yet been fully found."
Izuna was instantly shocked by Madara Uchiha's shocking words. Brother, what you said that day clearly meant that you had killed all those guys.
"Then, who else is there?"
Madara Uchiha did not announce to the public that it was Hyuga Tenjin who did this. Because of Hyuga Tenjin's final performance, he chose not to conceal it or make it public.
But Izuna probably knew it.
"Izuna, even Hyuga Tenjin, the best ninja of the Hyuga clan, couldn't help but want to take a peek, to see the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, and to find a way to rival it.
Do you think that only outsiders are coveting our Mangekyo Sharingan and the power of these eyes?"
Izuna instantly understood what his elder brother meant.
"Why, how could this happen?"
"Why not?"
Seeing Izuna muttering with an expression of disbelief, Madara Uchiha also felt very heavy.
"That's what it is, Izuna."
Madara Uchiha looked at his younger brother in front of him and silently took out the thing he had just hidden and didn't want him to see.
That was the conclusion he came to after observing the members of his family.
"I have been investigating, and now I have discovered that these tribesmen are suspicious.
They also left the family during that period, and after that, their strength and pupil power were improved to varying degrees.
This is very unusual."
When Izuna saw the series of names written by his elder brother on the paper, his eyes widened instantly.
He didn't know everyone in the family.
But after those tribesmen were harmed, he got to know them and visited their families to comfort them.
And these names are all the relatives of the missing tribesmen!
They are their brothers, their best friends, and they have a very lasting friendship.
"How so..."
Izuna was a little bit unbelievable.
Why, why did it have to be them?
Do they think that by killing their loved ones in such a cruel way, with blood flowing and guilt towards them, they can gain the power they have long desired?
No, it's not like that. It shouldn't be like this!
Izuna Uchiha's hands and feet were a little cold.
It shouldn't be like this.
When he and his elder brother first opened the Mangekyo Sharingan, they were filled with pain and despair over the fact that their father almost died.
They never thought of gaining power in this way.
"Wrong, wrong, they are wrong!"
"Ah, yes.
When they actively choose this path, their desire for power has already surpassed their love for their loved ones.
It is wishful thinking to want to gain the same power as us in this way!"
A trace of anger also rose on Madara Uchiha's face. Seeing the pale face of Izuna, he felt very uncomfortable.
Letting his younger brother see such a dirty scene that also existed in the family was really, really something that he, as a brother, shouldn't do.
But Izuna has grown up and is no longer a child.
He should have the right to know.
He also has to face these problems.
"So, brother, what should we do?"
After a long silence, Izuna Uchiha asked slowly.
"They attacked the tribesmen and hid their bodies and eyes.
However, they would not dare to expose themselves in the family.
So they either hid together in a very secret place outside, or they kept hidden close to each other.
Izuna, pay attention to their movements.
I will arrange for you to go with them to carry out the mission, find the evidence, and then let them apologize to their loved ones and friends without making a fuss."
"I see!"
Izuna Uchiha nodded heavily, and at the same time, he realized more and more how happy he was to have a brother like his elder brother.
...
"Why, it's still a bit hot."
Early in the morning, when it was still light, Tobirama sneaked back home.
Thinking of what happened last night, he couldn't help feeling guilty.
Although Taohua also said that in this chaotic world, we should not be so fussy; just like it if you like it.
Love means doing what love does.
However, he still felt that it was a bit too fast.
And the Great Elder really didn't go home last night.
It seems that Taohua had already had some plans in mind.
This morning, he quietly got up from the bed, prepared breakfast for Taohua, and left only after confirming that the woman wanted to sleep in a little longer.
Fortunately, he ran fast; otherwise, if he saw her lazy look, the shoulder straps slipping off her shoulders, and the smooth skin on her back when she was lying down, Tobirama was afraid that he would sink into the arms of gentleness again today.
Call!
After exhaling a breath, Tobirama just arrived at the door of his house and saw the great elder standing there.
"Great Elder, you got up really early."
He greeted the great elder in front of him without changing his expression. The great elder looked at Tobirama Senju in front of him, and finally heaved a long sigh, then walked back towards home with an upset look on his face.
I hope that nothing unexpected will happen between you two in the future.
After the Great Elder left, Tobirama returned home, and his elder brother was still as enthusiastic as ever.
But his sister-in-law Mito Uzumaki, his two younger brothers, and even his father, Butsuma Senju, all looked at him in a strange way.
Moreover, they all got up so early today!
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's rare that you're all up at this hour."
"Yes, there was an old man sighing last night, which kept us awake all night."
Sister-in-law Mito laughed.
