At the Uchiha frontline camp, in the southern corner.
"Here, your food for today." A logistics officer, rude and dismissive, tossed the food onto the table.
At this, Tobirama's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
These people were incredibly disrespectful. He and his older brother had come to offer their support, yet this was how they were treated.
His judgment had been correct— the Uchiha truly were a naturally evil clan.
They should have listened to their father back then, letting the Uchiha perish with their enemies.
"Big brother!" Unable to endure any longer, Tobirama stood up, his intense killing intent making the food delivery officer's legs tremble with fear.
"You... what do you want? Don't do anything rash," the officer stammered, clearly acting on Tajima's orders. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so brazen in his targeting.
But fortunately, not all Uchiha bore hostility toward the two brothers.
Over the course of the month-long battle, countless ninjas had been saved by Hashirama.
In the end, Hashirama's efforts had indeed helped to ease the relations between the two clans.
But alas, the timing was wrong—perhaps only when he became the leader of the Senju clan could he truly change the situation from the root.
"Tobirama," Hashirama said, holding his younger brother's shoulder, ready to speak, when his eyes suddenly lit up with joy.
"Kyosuke, you're finally back."
Standing at the door was none other than Kyosuke, who had returned from the Southern Border Legion.
He nodded at the two brothers, then fixed a cold, indifferent gaze on the logistics officer.
"Legion Commander." The officer's eyes darted around nervously, clearly wishing to flee immediately.
However, the only exit was blocked by Kyosuke, leaving him with nowhere to run.
Fixing his gaze on the officer's fearful expression, Kyosuke expressionlessly raised his right hand.
Slap!
With a sharp sound, a few teeth flew out of the officer's mouth.
Ignoring the officer's screams, like a pig being slaughtered, Kyosuke raised his hand again and slapped him even harder.
"Stop, stop! I was wrong, I'm just a small man, confused, please spare me, my lord!"
"You worthless sycophant," Kyosuke ordered without turning his head. "Take him and throw him to the front lines—let him experience firsthand what it's like to have no control over life or death."
"Yes, sir." Maya, who had been waiting outside, immediately dragged the man away.
Kyosuke glanced at the food on the table, his disgust evident, and knocked the plate over. He forcefully pulled the brothers to his own camp.
Here, he was the true ruler. The clan leader's orders and attitude held no weight.
"Just bear with it for a little while," Kyosuke said with a smile, addressing the two of them. "Forget about that useless fool, Tajima. He'll die in the streets sooner or later. Come, let's have a drink first."
"Uh..." Hashirama casts a nervous glance around, fearing that Tajima might suddenly appear from somewhere.
As for Kyosuke, he paid no mind. Black Zetsu had forced him to face the large army of the land of Wind, and it was highly likely that he would have to deal with Tajima sooner rather than later.
He had just heard that the old fool had gone off to carry out an assassination mission, and it was almost certain he wouldn't survive it.
The last time they met, Ōtsutsuki Sugito had already mastered the abilities of attraction and repulsion—essentially, he had become a living version of the Six Paths Pain.
His combat strength might not be the strongest, but his ability to survive was definitely top-tier. He was not someone Tajima could just kill on a whim.
However, Tajima was still the clan leader, and Kyosuke felt it was only right for him to personally send him off.
At the peak of clan leader level, the rewards would certainly be great. How could he let such an opportunity slip by without taking action?
Of course, he couldn't openly launch an attack, so he had to drag the Senju brothers out for a drink.
Thinking of this, Kyosuke raised his glass to the two of them and said: "Come on, let's drink to our brother hashirama dreams."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Hashirama's eyes welled up with tears, thinking that all his efforts had been worth it.
"Yes, for our dreams, cheers!"
Tobirama, silently watching the two, found Kyosuke's enthusiasm a bit strange. It seemed almost excessive.
How could anyone imagine that just a month ago, the two had been fighting desperately against each other?
But considering the current situation, Tobirama could understand Kyosuke's change in attitude.
"After this battle, the Uchiha will surely be severely weakened."
"Then, the land of Fire will have no power left to stop the Senju."
Picking up his wine glass, Tobirama, in a cheerful mood, also joined the drinking party.
He couldn't match Kyosuke in a fight, but could he be beaten at drinking?
Don't underestimate the Senju clan's constitution, you evil Uchiha bastard.
The small feast lasted for three full hours before it came to an end.
As for whether it was appropriate to drink before a battle, no one in the Uchiha clan dared to question it.
Age was no concern either. None of them could be judged by normal standards.
"I'm... I'm telling you, I am going to defeat you one day sooner or later..."
"Flying Thunder God, I'm about to puke..."
Tobirama, who had started vomiting, was left behind as Kyosuke, with Maya's help, stumbled back to his tent.
"Don't let anyone disturb me," Kyosuke mumbled hazily, instructing Maya to have someone guard the camp entrance.
Once his subordinate left, he immediately sat up, shaking off any signs of drunkenness.
After waiting silently for a while, suddenly, a figure quietly slipped into the tent.
"Secret Ninja No. 1, reporting, Lord."
This man appeared entirely ordinary, much like many other Uchiha members.
But in reality, he was one of the three secret ninjas trained by Kyosuke.
The first secret ninja was responsible for monitoring the various matters within the clan.
The second secret ninja was tasked with setting up an intelligence network.
The third secret ninja had special missions and had been undercover for several years.
He was never one for passive defense; when he did something, it was only when he had complete certainty.
The assassination of Tajima had long been part of the plan, and now, even if the situation changed, he could still respond calmly.
Taking the "tools" his subordinates had prepared, Kyosuke nodded and disappeared from the camp.
Seeing this, the first secret ninja used a transformation technique, changing into Kyosuke's likeness and lay on the bed.
Apart from him, no one knew of Kyosuke's departure.
---
To the southwest of the Land of Fire, near the border region:
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The terrifying sounds of explosions echoed repeatedly, as countless puppet soldiers pursued the two brothers who were fleeing below.
"Damn it." Izuna gritted his teeth, constantly using fire-style ninjutsu to delay their pursuers.
Beside him, his older brother, Uchiha Madara, said nothing. His expression was dark and brooding.
The assassination plan had failed, and the enemy's strength far exceeded what anyone had expected.
Even the two brothers had been forced to separate from their father. At this moment, neither side had time to worry about the other.
For some unknown reason, an ominous feeling suddenly rose within Madara's heart.
He couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to happen.
Looking at Izuna, who seemed slightly flustered, Madara swore quietly to himself that no matter what, he would protect his younger brother's safety.
Even if it meant dying.
