Uchiha Madara is naturally extremely disgusted with Senju Hashirama. However, unlike his brothers, he did not vent his anger on Senju Hashirama, his best friend for many years, unless the latter mentioned it in an incestuous way.

A disgusting topic.

For example, at this moment, since his best friend is only concerned about his sister's personal safety, he doesn't mind answering——

"It's okay. Don't forget, the belt is my sister."

"That's right." Senju Hashirama breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay." Then he asked again, "Then where is the belt now? Konoha, or..."

"Hashirama." Uchiha Madara replied stiffly, "If you want to visit Obi, you don't have to. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that your presence may remind her of some nasty things, you know what I mean.

.”

"...I understand." Senju Hashirama sighed, "I'm sorry...Madara..."

The parents and tribesmen on both sides of the Senju family's "second young master" and the Uchiha's "little princess" fell in love. The only people on the Uchiha side who knew about it were the five brothers who were raised by Uchiha.

Only Senju Hashirama knew about it.

Insiders also understand this idea of ​​"temporary concealment". After all, although the two tribes have gone from tit-for-tat in the past to gradual relaxation and even hidden cooperation under the leadership of the current patriarch, this is not an ordinary love affair between two tribesmen.

, but the sons and daughters of the patriarch’s family.

Their love and union will be given more meanings, for example -

Announcing the marriage between the two clans.

And if they break up, it may also have more meanings.

Senju Hashirama can understand his brother's considerations,

And Uchiha Madara doesn't need his sister to contribute to the family with her own happiness, and he doesn't want her to suffer unnecessary attention and pressure. He just wants her to live a good life as she promised.

This is why the relationship between the two of them was silent from meeting, acquaintance, acquaintance, falling in love to finally breaking up, just like the wind blowing through the street inadvertently, only changing the fate of a few fallen leaves.

Most people are unaware of this.

But in fact, unlike Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama has been extremely supportive of this relationship from the beginning and even raised his hands in cheers. Although it has something to do with the careers of the two clans, it actually doesn't have much to do with it, mainly because, if this

If the relationship can finally blossom and bear fruit, then he and his best friend can naturally become a family.

Therefore, when his younger brother told him about the breakup, he seemed even more disappointed than the person involved. On the contrary, Tobirama comforted him and said -

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all...we may not be suitable partners for each other."

After hearing this, Senju Hashirama just wanted to say, "Didn't Tobirama you know about this from the beginning? You didn't mind this kind of thing at first, but now you say it's because of this, this is considered

Who are you deceiving?" However, looking at his brother's gloomy and haggard expression, he finally swallowed these words and said nothing more.

I tried to do something, but was severely warned by my best friend - Hashirama, if you do more unnecessary things, our friend will not be able to continue.

Madara said so.

Senju Hashirama knew that his best friend was serious, because his family was Madara's backbone and weakness, and he could always hit him with ease. He never meant to offend his best friend, and his biggest wish deep in his heart was to lead Senju and

Together, the Uchiha led by Madara move towards a broader world and future.

Moreover, this is not his relationship after all, so what’s the point of him trying his best to move forward alone?

Senju Hashirama, who was full of sighs, hung up the phone, looked at the silver-haired man sitting in front of him, and said in a serious tone: "Madara said the belt is fine, but refused to say where she is now. If you are really worried and want to visit, I

I can help you find out more."

After the latter was silent for a while, he replied in a calm voice: "No need, brother, I won't go to see her either."

"...Even if she encounters such danger?"

"These are two different things." Senju Tobirama replied calmly and rationally, "First of all, a cowardly character who only shakes his fist at weak people will not be her opponent; secondly, she is unlikely to be frightened by this.

;In the end, it’s meaningless.”

"...It's meaningless?" Senju Hashirama laughed angrily - now that you say it's meaningless, why did you go so early?

"Well, it makes no sense." Qianju Tobirama lowered his head and stared at his hand on his knee, as if he could see a flower on it, "She took the initiative to break up with her actual actions. After that, I found

I met her several times, and her attitude was very firm, and she sincerely requested me not to appear in front of her again or try to contact her, which would weaken the determination she had finally made up. Since I agreed, I will abide by it.

Her promise is that she will never take the initiative to disturb her life again."

"Oh..." Senju Hashirama nodded and asked sharply with an almost sneer, "So, when you pursued her, did she hesitate because your last names were 'Senju' and 'Uchiha' respectively?

?Did she ever say to you, 'This might not be the right decision'? At that time, did you respect her idea and stay away?"

"..."

"You didn't." Senju Hashirama said word by word, "So, don't say it so grandly, Tobirama. The fact that you don't go to her may indeed be related to Xiaodaizi's attitude and words, but a large part of it is also

Because - you don't want to go yourself. It's very shameful to blame the reason on a woman. Don't let me, the elder brother, look down on you."

"..." Qian Shu Feijian was speechless.

What could he say?

Because what the elder brother said is indeed the truth.

However, it’s not that he doesn’t want to go, it’s that he doesn’t dare to go. Because he hasn’t been able to get out of it until now, and his time on this matter may have been stuck in the past. Once he gives up his pride and persistence, he takes the initiative to find it.

She might look ugly and drop everything to try to save her.

If you are decisively rejected...

So what is left for him?

He fell into a love beyond his expectation, which he probably shouldn't have fallen into, and then made him almost unlike himself.

…It’s not that I regret any of this, it’s just that I am deeply aware of one thing——

Just having love between adults is not enough.

These are not enough to support them in overcoming the most essential conflicts between them across domains.

He felt that she was too selfish, and she felt that he was too prejudiced.

But just as she never forgets that she is an Uchiha, he cannot abandon his responsibility as the "younger brother of the Senju clan leader".

The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are indeed gradually moving towards a future of working together, but before the situation is completely settled, there are still many uncertainties. Maybe after everything is stable, their acquaintance will have completely different results, but

At this moment, now...

Even if they reconcile again, the result might still be the same.

The quarrels become increasingly fierce, the emotions gradually collapse, and finally the patience and love are consumed by endless conflicts again and again.

He could feel her thoughts when they broke up - instead of feeling resentful towards each other in the end, it would be better to "just let it go". At least, don't turn this relationship into a hateful mistake.

He approved it.

That's all.

And there is some regret deep in my heart. If I had not rushed to hold her hand and completely broke into each other's lives at that time, but stood on the edge of her life and waited patiently, maybe... everything would not be like this now.

.

Unfortunately, there is no regret in this world.

"Okay, brother. Did you call me back specifically just to make this call in front of me?" Qianju Tobirama said, "I still have something to go back to the company to deal with. If there is nothing else, I

Just take the first step."

"...Tobirama."

"Um?"

"You'll regret it."

"Maybe." Senju Tobirama stood up and left expressionlessly. He seemed calm and composed, but in fact he was thinking——

Brother, you are right, I have regretted it for a long time.

But compared to everything he had thought before, perhaps what he regretted most was actually not saying "no" firmly when she begged "Don't come to see me again, don't contact me again." At that time, he couldn't say "no".

I nodded in agreement at that time, and no matter how much I regretted it later, I couldn't look back.

His pride and self-esteem wouldn't allow it.

He is not allowed to do such a thing without any reason or confidence.

Sometimes I even thought hopelessly that even if it was just a chance encounter, even if she just smiled at him when they met by chance, maybe he would regret it on the spot and reach out again desperately.

However, there was not even such a chance encounter.

Thinking about it more carefully, she might have calculated this correctly before making such a plea.

Because in the past relationship...

Although he is much older than her and he is indeed constantly educating and guiding her, the one who is the most tolerant of the two of them may be the younger one, and she may be the younger one. Every time they quarrel, although many times

It is true that he was the first to ask for peace, and his desperate desire to restore it was extremely real, but after all... he got an opportunity - a look, a smile, a note, a word or a "please"

Help pull the zipper down." Something as small as that.

Therefore, if she didn't want to give him another chance, he really couldn't find it at all.

Senju Tobirama drove the car expressionlessly, passing red lights, street lights, forks in the road, and then...
To be continued...
