Chapter 53 Is it really you?
When only the two brothers, Ban and Yan Yi, remained by the river, Yan Yi seemed to wake from a dream and breathed a sigh of relief.
fine...
Recalling her direct contact with the other party just now, Yan Yi couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
If the other party doesn't control their emotions, or if Brother Ban gets even more agitated... then this meeting will not only fail to resolve the issue, but will also cause the two sides to completely fall out and become irreconcilable enemies.
Only now did Yan Yi notice the scar on his left arm; it was extremely painful...
"Yan Yi! Is your arm alright? You're bleeding so much... I'm so sorry! I was too slow to react..."
Ban squatted down to check on his younger brother's injuries, muttering self-reproach and regret to himself.
"I'm fine, Madara. At least this way we won't be fighting anymore for a while..."
Yan Yi wiped the sweat from her forehead and revealed her lovely smiling face again.
Although the reconciliation between their children had no bearing on the family's decision, both sides were trying to find a way to ensure that their important brothers wouldn't have to take a much longer, more difficult path.
Hatred is a truly addictive thing, and Itama is really important, both for himself and for the overall situation.
However, when Yan Yi thought about what Ban Ge had said about him earlier... something about how much he liked his fourth brother, he couldn't help but blush.
What do you mean by "especially like"?!
Although I know that's not what Madara meant, and that's not what I meant either, it's still really easy to misunderstand...
"I'll carry you home! As for this injury... I'll figure out how to explain it to my father!"
Ban felt sorry for him, but looking at it this way, it was indeed as Yan Yi said, that the misunderstanding could be resolved with only a little blood loss, which was already a very good result.
......
On the way back to the clan's territory, Tobirama quietly asked, "Brother... do you really want to choose to believe them?"
He glanced at his older brother with some worry, knowing that his father might really give up the rescue plan for Banjian.
After all, the Senju clan is in a really bad state right now. If they were to save him, it would be like putting the fate of the entire clan on the line in this battle.
The result of doing so, regardless of victory or defeat, would be the death of most of the tribe. Based on his understanding of his father, he would never consider such an extremely "unprofitable" approach.
"Tobirama, we have no choice but to trust them now... Besides, didn't you mention before that the adults are all fools? If we just sign an agreement and put aside our fighting and hatred, we can get along well..."
Hashirama's eyes looked full of expectation, as if he could see a peaceful future.
Tobirama could only respect his elder brother's idealism.
However, he would unconditionally support his elder brother's decisions, but he needed to consider all the potential problems and hidden dangers that needed to be guarded against.
As long as he could silently support his older brother, his brother could charge forward without hesitation... This was Tobirama's truest thought.
......
When the Hashirama and Tobirama brothers returned home and were about to change clothes and take a bath together, a figure suddenly appeared outside the door...
"Big brother... second brother..."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, the two immediately turned around, and the sight of the brown-haired boy made their thoughts freeze for a few seconds...
"Wa...Wa? Is that really you?"
Hashirama stared blankly, muttering to himself, completely unable to believe his eyes...
Tobirama felt the same way, but when he saw the bandages wrapped around his brother's body and the empty sleeve of his right arm, his emotions surged instantly.
"It's me! I'm back... Big brother, second brother, I... I missed you so much... Waaaaah..."
As Watanabe spoke, his voice began to spiral out of control, and eventually it became impossible to understand what he was saying; only wailing could be heard...
Hashirama rushed outside, not even having time to think about why his younger brother had "come back to life," and hugged him tightly, tears streaming down his face just like his brother's...
Tobirama was the same... No older brother would not worry about his younger brother. Tobirama's usually calm mind was completely incapable of thinking. The only way he could express his emotions was through hugs and silently falling tears.
No one else witnessed the reunion of the three brothers; this was a long-awaited moment of solitude just for them...
"Wajian... I thought... you... were dead..."
Hashirama's voice was still muffled, choked with sobs, and tears streamed down his face, forming two wide streaks...
Wajima had almost recovered his composure and was now scratching his head sheepishly with his only left hand.
"I'm sorry, eldest brother and second brother. I was injured and couldn't go home during this time, so I made you worry."
When the topic of his injury came up, Hashirama immediately realized what was happening, and his tears flowed even more freely.
The sight of his brother's empty right sleeve sent a jolt through him, a pain as if his heart were bleeding, a torment that relentlessly tormented Hashirama's mental world.
Tobirama was startled, then quickly ran over and pulled open Watamasa's shirt, carefully examining Watamasa's injuries...
"Second brother... there's no need to look... the injury has already healed, and there's no way it can be reattached..."
As Watama spoke, his eyes were filled with sadness. He had lost an arm, which meant he would be unable to use many ninjutsu in the future. It also meant that no matter how hard he worked, he would find it difficult to keep up with the growth rate of ordinary people.
"sorry..."
Tobirama was filled with deep self-reproach. If only he had reacted faster, would Kawarama have turned out differently...?
"It's alright!" Watama smiled, a relaxed smile...
"I'm used to it now! And I'm also grateful to Hikaru... well, he's just a kid from an ordinary family who saved me! He did his best to treat me and stayed with me during my rehabilitation training, otherwise I might not be alive today!"
"Hikaru? Ah, we really have to thank that child..."
Tobirama nodded, understanding now. Given his brother's injuries, he likely wouldn't have survived without help...
Hashirama couldn't hold back any longer and hugged Kawarama tightly once more, as if afraid he would disappear again...
"This time, your brother will absolutely, positively protect you, absolutely! Unless I die! No one can hurt you!"
Hashirama held him tightly; he felt extremely distressed.
When I was a child... it was because of my momentary carelessness that a deep scar was left on Watama's originally beautiful face.
This time, due to his own negligence... Watama nearly lost his life and also lost his entire right arm...
How could he, as the older brother, not feel heartbroken and guilty?
"It's okay, bro! I'm tough! I won't die that easily! Haha..."
Watama seemed quite happy; the warmth of home and the care from his brothers had eased his tense nerves a little...
Upon seeing his two older brothers, Watama seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, eldest brother, where's Itama? Where did he go? I haven't seen him in so long! I wonder if he's managed to get rid of that crying habit..."
Hashirama's heart skipped a beat; faced with his brother's question, he found it difficult to speak...
"Itama... he was captured by the Uchiha..." Tobirama sighed softly, revealing the truth.
"Take...away...?"
Wajima was momentarily stunned. Fourth brother? His most adorable fourth brother, Itama, had been captured?
"sorry..."
Hashirama didn't even dare to look Kawarama in the eye again... He had repeatedly put his younger brother in danger, and as the older brother, he was truly to blame.
