So, the three of them had a small snowball fight in the yard.

"Come Hoshi-chan!" Senju Hashirama raised his hand and waved.

"Ouch!" The little girl ran up to him with great energy and blocked a small snowball that was lightly smashed towards him by Qianshou Fanjian.

Senshou Tobirama simply couldn't complain: "Brother, you are so despicable." You actually let a woman be your shield. You have changed, Brother! Didn't you just grab me and use it as a shield in the past?!

"After all, Tobirama, you are the enemy this time!" Senju Hashirama raised his hand and pointed angrily, "Hoshi-chan and I are from the same country, and we are resisting your cruel and ruthless oppression together. Right, Hoshi-chan?"

"Ouch!" The little girl responded energetically again, and then raised her hand to block the snowballs on Senju Hashirama's face.

Senju Hashirama: "???"

"Puff puff -" the girl covered her mouth and ran away happily, "How can you have allies in a snowball fight? Hashirama-sama is an idiot~"

Senju Hashirama belatedly realized what is meant by "the world is changing, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be." Even a kitten can lie to his friends. Is there still some basic love and trust in this world?

Seeing his eldest brother's confused expression, Senshou Tobirama couldn't help but clasp his fists to cover his lips, and laughed out loud.

"Flaw!" The girl's eyes suddenly became sharp. She raised her hand and threw a snowball, which just hit Qianju Tojian's head.

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "..."

Senju Hashirama: "Pfft!"

The two brothers looked at each other silently, and then started to make balls together in a tacit understanding... No, they were making snowballs, and they all hit a certain girl in unison.

"...It's despicable to besiege them!"

The courtyard became extremely lively without realizing it.

Jiuwei squatted on the wooden corridor, silently watching the snowballs flying back and forth, curling his lips and thinking: Humans are so boring.

"Nine Lama," the slug lying on its shoulder said softly, "If you are envious, you can go play together. I don't think anyone will refuse."

"Who is envious!" The little orange fox twisted his face and said that he was not envious at all. However, out of the corner of his eye, he was indeed following the snowballs fluttering left and right. Along with it, the nine big fluffy tails inadvertently moved.

It started shaking together.

The slug then thought: Foxes are canines, right? Are canines the same?

Then it saw Thousand Hands Tobirama and had an epiphany.

I have to say that this short snowball fight did make the three of them feel a lot of happiness. Unfortunately, it was indeed short-lived. After all, as Senju Tobirama said, such a cold weather...

Senju Hashirama, who is still recuperating now, cannot hold on.

So...

after a while.

The two brothers had a very tacit understanding of "see you in the bathhouse".

Senju Hashirama sat on a small wooden bench, raising his hands to wash his foamy hair; Senju Tobirama sat behind his eldest brother, meticulously using a bath towel to help his eldest brother's back.

There is no need to ask about the intensity. After all, after so many years, he is too familiar with the temperature and intensity that his elder brother likes.

"I'm so happy... right, Tobirama?" Senju Hashirama raised a basin of water and poured it over his head.

The foamy water washed down instantly and fell on Senju Tobirama's hands and towel. He continued to rub his back without trembling and replied, "Yes."

"It would be nice if there was a next time~"

"Yes." Senshou Tobirama said softly, "As long as you take medicine seriously and recover, brother." He will continue to work hard to cure his body. The two brothers still have a lot of time and a lot of things to do.

hapiness.

Senju Hashirama couldn't help but laugh, thinking: Tobirama, do you really treat your elder brother as an ignorant child?

But in the end, I still didn’t say these words.

At this moment...

Senju Tobirama finally ended the entanglement and hesitation until now, and said: "Let's talk about it, brother."

"Huh?" Senju Hashirama raised his hand and scrubbed his arm, "What's wrong?"

"...Has your opinion of Xing still not changed even now?"

"What do you think?"

"You still don't want to marry her?"

Senju Tobirama felt that he needed to confirm with his eldest brother in person. Although, according to his stubborn character, this matter probably would not change.

Senju Hashirama's movements paused.

The atmosphere in the bathroom suddenly became stagnant.

Time seemed to have stopped for an instant.

"..."

"..."

The next second, Senju Hashirama continued to lower his head and scrub his arms, and replied without raising his head: "Didn't I say it before? Tobirama, don't mention this matter any more, I won't agree to it.

Hoshi-chan..." He paused and continued, "She is still young and has a long life left. She should have a life of her own." Instead of being forcibly bound to him, a mortal person.

Time resumed its march again.

However, at the moment when he said these words, he suddenly thought——

What if I...can still survive?

If he hadn't had that fight with Madara, if he hadn't been seriously injured, according to his vitality, he would have lived for another seventy years...

Unfortunately, everything has no ifs, so there is no need to think about it anymore.

Senju Tobirama then stopped saying anything that would upset his elder brother, or in other words, he had already obtained the result he wanted to confirm.

The eldest brother still doesn’t want it.

The eldest brother is still so determined.

so……

If I want to, that's okay... right?

pity.

The posture of the two brothers at this moment is that one has his back to the other.

Senju Tobirama didn't clearly see his eldest brother's expression at this moment, otherwise, he wouldn't have such feelings anyway, right?

After taking a bath.

Senju Tobirama patiently helped his eldest brother dry his hair, and then helped him make the bed and light incense. Finally, he laid him down and straightened the quilt a little.

"Come on, brother, you're tired. Let's take a nap." He could clearly see the tired look on his face when he took a bath just now. He thought, he needs this.

"...Tobirama." Senju Hashirama didn't resist taking a nap. He grabbed the corner of the quilt with both hands and blinked - he was only forty years old, but he acted like a child when he did so, "You won't return it."

Want to tell me a story or sing a lullaby?"

Senju Tobirama replied with a smile: "If you wish, big brother, um, do you want to listen to "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" or "The Crane Repays a Favor"? As for lullabies, which one do you like to listen to? The one popular in the Senju family? The Kingdom of Water

Style?”

Senju Hashirama: "..." Damn it, this brother is broken.

Qianju Tobijian couldn't help but smile even deeper, and said while laughing: "Okay, no more joking. Brother, have a good rest, and I wish you a wonderful 'daydream'."

Senju Hashirama couldn't help laughing, then nodded with the same smile, and said, "Is it an illusion? I always feel that you are particularly gentle today. Did something good happen?"

Qianju Tojian asked: "What, brother, do you want me to be more cruel to you? If you must..."

"I fell asleep!" Senju Hashirama closed his eyes for a second.

Qianju Tojian shook his head helplessly, looked down at his elder brother for a moment, stretched out his hands and finally helped him tidy up the bedding around his neck, and then stood up and left. Before leaving, he carefully closed the door behind him.

paper partition door.

Let's just say something good happened...

It's also a good thing.

However, it is undeniable that he also feels guilty in his heart.

After all, in the beginning, he kept saying "that proposal" to his elder brother. Now, as an advocate, he actually "rebelled" himself... Well, even though he is already a quite shameless old man, Senju Tobirama still feels that "

The old face is slightly red."

If in the future...

You will definitely be laughed at by your elder brother, right?

As long as he imagined the scene for a moment, he couldn't help but want to hold his forehead. At the same time, it was true...

Hey, he's as eager as a young boy to give it a try.

Maybe it was "God follows man's wish". He had just walked out of the room when he saw the girl who had also washed her hair and returned from the bath. Seeing her opening her mouth to say hello, Senju Tobirama raised her hand to her lips and said

A "shh" gesture.
