Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 61 What did Father want to say to us brothers?

Banma was locked back in his cell, but at least he felt much better now.

Although I was incredibly embarrassed while showering just now, standing there completely at Yan's mercy, and being stared at by a stranger...

Despite Yan Yi's repeated persuasion, the jailer finally turned around, but the room, which had never been touched by anyone before, blushed deeply after being thoroughly handled by Yan Yi.

From the strands of hair to between the toes and even... in short, it was incredibly meticulous.

After all, Yan Yi said that after discussing it, they barely managed to agree to bring him over for a bath once a week, so he has to be thoroughly cleaned!

After visiting the wooden house, Yan Yi returned home, this time because his second brother had summoned him...

......

Three months later.

Inside the Senju clan's territory, Watama had already accepted the fact that his younger brother had been captured, and he was now diligently training.

Even though he had lost an arm, no matter how much his strength improved, he would still be much weaker. Holding a knife in his left hand was really difficult.

Just as he was struggling to practice his sword skills, his father's voice came from behind him.

"Let's take a break, oh dear..."

Seeing his third son in such a miserable state, Butsuma felt terrible. However, given Watama's current situation, losing his dominant hand meant that his ninja career was basically over.

However, Fojian was not there to discuss cultivation with Wajian. After a slight pause, Fojian said, "Go back early today. I have something to say to you brothers."

Watama nodded blankly, watching his father leave.

He didn't know what to think. He had heard his older brothers talk about the cold and heartless words his father had spoken when he was "buried".

And... when he finally returned home, the happy look he had imagined from his father didn't appear. Instead, his father said with regret, "It's a pity your hand is broken..."

These words had already stirred up some unease within him, coupled with the tragic fate his fourth brother had suffered while he was away...

For the first time, Watama felt that this father was really too cold-hearted.

"What does Father want to say to us brothers...?"

With a heart full of trepidation, Watama picked up his weapon again and began to train desperately...

My fourth brother is still waiting for me to save him, and Xiao Guang is also waiting for me to come back!

Watama must work twice as hard, ten times harder, to have any chance of fulfilling the wishes in his heart.

Like Tobirama, Hashirama received their father's message, but they no longer felt much affection for him; all that remained was disappointment.

In the end, Father gave up on saving his fourth brother, Itama, and didn't even bother to try.

Although they knew it was unrealistic to risk the entire Senju clan to save a useless kid, their cold indifference in cutting ties so easily was truly chilling...

If they hadn't gone to the Naka River every now and then to exchange information with Madara and the others, they probably wouldn't even know if their younger brother was doing well.

Fortunately, that Uchiha brat seemed to care about Itama a lot, so he didn't let his younger brother suffer too much.

"Big brother..." Tobirama looked at Hashirama, who was filled with indignation, and gently tugged at Hashirama's arm.

Hashirama is now very "rebellious". He is increasingly dissatisfied with his father's actions. Although he never shows it on the surface, his opinions about his father are almost overwhelming his reason.

"I'm alright, Tobirama. At least Itama is alive and hasn't been tortured..."

That's what they say, but how to rescue the younger brother is a very difficult problem.

If the father doesn't take the initiative and create an opening, they won't have any chance at all.

When the two brothers returned home, their father was already sitting at the table with a serious expression, his eyes fixed on Hashirama.

The third brother, Wajian, sat nervously opposite the Buddha room with his head down, not saying a word.

"You're back, please have a seat..."

Butsuma spoke calmly, and then Hashirama and Tobirama obediently walked to Kawarama's side and sat down facing their father.

"I'll get straight to the point, Hashirama. That brat you often see by the river, he's from the Uchiha clan."

Buddha's gaze was sharp as a knife, as if trying to find some clue in Hashirama's face...

"How...is this possible?"

Hashirama wasn't surprised that Madara was a member of the Uchiha clan, because Madara had already come clean with him, and they still maintained a fairly good relationship in private, because it concerned information about his fourth brother, Itama.

He was now in shock as to why his father had found out about this.

However, seeing Hashirama's shocked expression, Butsuma felt much more at ease.

He paid special attention to Hashirama's first reaction, and the genuine shock he felt was undeniable. In other words... Hashirama hadn't gone to betray the enemy; he simply didn't know the other party's identity.

“I understand your desire to have friends your own age, but you are a ninja. Apart from your clan, you don’t need any friends from other clans…” Butsuma remained expressionless.

Hashirama clenched his fists. He strongly disagreed with his father's words. He had genuinely enjoyed his time with Madara, and Madara had never tried to extract any information from him, even after he revealed his identity.

Tobirama silently observed his father and elder brother's expressions, and quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

Although he still doesn't have a good impression of the Uchiha clan, the only person he can get information about his younger brother now is his older brother, that so-called "friend".

"Hashirama, you will have to bear the responsibility of being the eldest son of the Senju clan sooner or later. You can't be too indecisive!"

"Father...I..."

Hashirama clenched his fist and exerted force once more... his fingernails even dug into his soft palm.

Tobirama has realized that his father is still unaware of the deeper details, so the brothers have not yet been fully discovered.

Having figured it out, Tobirama secretly reached out and gently squeezed his older brother's fist twice, signaling him to calm down.

Hashirama understood... he wasn't good at explaining himself, nor was he good at hiding the truth. All he could do now was trust Tobirama.

"I understand..." As if he had put a lot of effort into making a decision, Hashirama nodded reluctantly.

The gaze in Buddha's eyes softened. He knew he owed his son a great deal, but so what? As long as the Senju clan could survive, a little sacrifice was worthwhile.

“Good that you understand. Next time, you will see him as usual, but I will also come with you next time…” After saying that, Butsuma glanced at Tobirama again.

Tobirama nodded in agreement, replying, "I understand. I'll try to persuade my brother..."

"Yes, that's right. They are the evil clan that kidnapped your brother. We can't have any expectations of them! If they use Itama to blackmail us, do you know which is more important?"

Although the Buddha spoke with earnest and heartfelt words, the meaning behind his words was sharper than a knife and colder than solid ice.

That means even if they kill Itama, it cannot be used as a condition to blackmail the Mori clan.

Hashirama almost lost his temper. If Tobirama hadn't been trying to calm him down, he would have really broken down and confronted his father.

"As for the tile-roofed houses..."

Butsuma glanced at his third son. Although he had "come back to life," his value had been greatly diminished. A ninja who couldn't fight on the front lines was not what he wanted.

But since he was his son after all, Fojian tried to soften his tone, saying, "You don't need to cultivate anymore. Go and learn how to process intelligence..."

The father's sudden arrangement left Watama completely stunned.

Since returning to his clan's territory, he had been training diligently day and night. Although the results weren't very noticeable, he could feel himself improving. But now, his father wouldn't let him become a ninja?

"Father! I...I can still fight!"

Wajang panicked. If he didn't have the power, how could he return to those mountains? He and Hikaru had made a promise to meet again! And he had sworn that he would protect him and live with him!

The Buddha waved his hand, a hint of disdain creeping down his lips...

"This is to protect you! Don't be stubborn, just listen to my instructions!"

"I see..."

Watama seemed to have something important ripped out of her heart; she hung her head listlessly, wanting to cry but daring not to...
