Uchiha girl, ignites a group pet war in Konoha

Realizing that he had been tricked by Hashirama, Shenyue, who had come to his senses, didn't want to pay any attention to him at all. He stayed in the clan for several days and refused to come out.

Madara was also happy to be free and at ease. After kicking out the annoying guy Hashirama, his world could be much quieter, but this made Hashirama anxious. He wandered around the gate of the Uchiha clan every day, but was unceremoniously driven away by the Konoha boxing champion Uchiha Fire Core. As a result, Hashirama, who was dejected like a large dog driven out of the house by his owner, became the most popular object of ridicule in the Uchiha clan during this period.

Many days passed in such a peaceful way, but late at night on this day, Shenyue, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by someone. She opened her eyes in a daze, but saw the enlarged silly face of Hashirama.

"Kamizuki, wake up!"

Kamizuki looked at the cold and bright moon outside the window, and then looked at the flattering Hashirama in front of her. After a long while, she uttered a word with difficulty:

"Huh?"

"I prepared a gift for you! Hurry up, it's too late!"

Without waiting for Kamyue to say anything, Hashirama picked her up from the bed, jumped off the second-floor balcony, and landed directly on the back of the wooden dragon. The confused Kamyue even forgot to struggle, and only one thought was circling in her mind-

Why do one or two of them like to jump on my balcony so much?

The wooden dragon swam quickly towards the sky, and soon left the Uchiha clan and the entire Konoha under it. Kamyue glanced down, woke up immediately, and then trembled and shrank into Hashirama's arms.

It was late at night, and the surroundings were silent. The cold wind and wet mist covered her head. Even though she was curled up in the warm embrace of Hashirama, Shen Yue still felt very cold. Looking around, there was nothing but air, and her anger value was rising little by little.

Where is the promised gift? There is nothing here!

"Shen Yue, look!"

Just when Shen Yue was about to curse, Hashirama suddenly patted her head and motioned her to look at the horizon. She raised her head in Hashirama's arms, and her dark eyes were suddenly filled with countless bright meteors.

Countless meteors fell like raindrops, and like migratory birds flying in a line, they fell from the sky in dense rows. At this moment, being in the middle of it, it was almost like a meteor pouring down from the top of your head.

Big meteors streaked across the night sky, dragging long tails of blue phosphorescence. The fleeting light was like an erratic silver line, making the world briefly brilliant. But when the shining stars gathered together, this tiny light could actually illuminate the entire darkness.

"It's so beautiful..."

Kamizuki was intoxicated by this incomparable beauty and was completely impressed by this fleeting splendid scene. But at the same time, Hashirama withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked in the direction of Konoha with some frustration:

"Tobirama told me that there would be a meteor today, but he was too busy to see it, so I wanted to bring you and Madara to see it together."

When it came to Madara, Hashirama's tone suddenly became more melancholy:

"It's a pity that Madara didn't see this scene."

"No wonder you kept coming to see us these days."

Kamizuki suddenly realized why Hashirama had been sticking to her like a dog-skin plaster these days.

Thinking that Madara couldn't come to see this scene, Kamzuki couldn't help but feel regretful, but she quickly turned the gun around and pushed all the responsibility onto Hashirama.

"You've gone too far and made the master angry!"

Hashirama's expression became extremely gloomy and depressed for a moment, but he soon put on that silly smile again, and changed the subject with a laugh. Looking at the meteor shower that was about to disappear in the night, he ruffled Shenyue's long hair and reminded her not to forget to make a wish:

"Make a wish quickly, with so many meteors, it will definitely come true."

....

Although the meteor shower was gorgeous, it was fleeting. Soon, Hashirama and Shenyue set out on the way back, but when the wooden dragon flew over the orchard, Shenyue pulled the corner of Hashirama's clothes and signaled him to stop here.

The wooden dragon flew into the fruit forest that Shenyue had created with the wood escape technique. Hashirama jumped off the wooden dragon's back holding Shenyue, looked at the dark orchard, and then looked at Shenyue who obviously had something to say. He quickly ran to the nearest fruit tree and reached out to grab the fruit.

"Kamizuki, do you want to eat the fruit?"

Kamizuki didn't buy it. She crossed her arms and asked directly what she was wondering.

"Why did you help Hanzo to this extent?"

Hashirama not only saved Hanzo's life, but also let him live in his home. Now he even wants to help the Rain Country behind him. He can help people to this extent. Shenyue is really puzzled. Is Hanzo his?'s illegitimate child?

Seeing Hashirama not talking, Shenyue felt even more angry, and she reminded him:

"Do you know that the master and Tobirama are now eager to kill him directly."

Hashirama was silent like a shadow. After a long time, he pretended to be stupid and said:

"Don't you think... uh, Hanzo is a pitiful child?"

"Don't play dumb! You think I'm a master, I won't be fooled by you easily!"

Seeing Shenyue's look of not giving up until he gets the answer, Hashirama leaned against the fruit tree in a decadent manner, but he also felt relieved. He waved to Shenyue, and after rubbing her cute face, he rarely spoke out his true thoughts.

"If a country like the Land of Rain, which lives in the cracks, can achieve peace, then other small countries in the ninja world can achieve peace even more."

"....."

Kamizuki was speechless. The orchard was silent for a moment, and even the sound of the wind seemed to disappear.

Although she knew that this guy was an out-and-out idealist and an incurable pacifist, when she really glimpsed this side of Hashirama, she still felt unreal, but Hashirama continued to speak:

"The Five Kage Talks are about to begin. At first I was very happy and thought that real peace was just around the corner. However, when this day really came, I was a little scared..."

It was quiet all around, and even the air began to condense. Shenyue held her breath and waited quietly for Hashirama to pour out his heart.

"Kamizuki, I'm afraid that a small country will become a pawn and battlefield of a big country."

Kamizuki was silent for a moment, and she suddenly realized that the hand that Hashirama placed on her back was trembling. This man who was as powerful as a god was really worried and afraid for the future of the ninja world.

"But it's not your fault. It was the same before and it won't change in the future."

"...I know."

Hashirama sighed. He actually understood that the ninja village system that other countries were emulating was just a staged peace of checks and balances. He knew that Konoha's wealth and success could not be easily copied by others, but he also hoped that the ideals of his youth could truly become a reality.

"But this is not the peace that Madara and I expect."

At this moment, Kamzuki suddenly realized that Hashirama was actually the same as Madara, and they both hoped to achieve their ideal peace, but Madara was eager to conquer, but Hashirama did not want to start a war again.

Through Hashirama's pretending to be stupid, Shenyue seemed to have a glimpse of his true nature -

This is a poor man who is about to be driven crazy by his desire for peace.

Just like his best friend, Uchiha Madara.

Coincidentally, Hashirama's topic turned to Madara at this time. He suddenly recalled the time when Konoha was just established, and confessed his apology to Madara to Shenyue.

"At that time, I was immersed in the joy of my dream coming true, but I ignored Madara's feelings. I clearly noticed that his emotions were not right, but I didn't understand it until so many years later."

Hashirama's tone gradually became low. Now he finally understood Madara's thoughts at that time. From the head of the clan to being excluded and criticized by everyone, the feeling of loss of no longer being worshipped, relied on, and the responsibility on his shoulders was taken away made Madara disheartened.

Hashirama didn't dare to imagine whether Madara would be disappointed with Konoha, him, and even their common ideals if he continued to lose it.

It was at that time that Shen Yue was born into this world. Thinking about it now, there is nothing more fortunate than this.

Hashirama's expression was very gentle. He knew that Madara had lost too much. He could not refuse such a little life that depended on him wholeheartedly.

"Shen Yue, it's really great that you can appear beside Madara."

Hashirama, who was still very depressed, continued to mutter, as if he had finally found an outlet for venting. The topic he talked about also shifted from Madara to Ryushu:

"Recently, Ryushu has also moved out. When the child was young, he was so attached to me and always said that he wanted to be a man like his father, but now he is so quiet, sometimes he doesn't say a word to me."

Recalling Ryushu's confidence and boldness as a child, and his current silence, and thinking about the slander and criticism he had suffered, and knowing clearly that all this was caused by himself, Hashirama's heart seemed to be experiencing a pain that would never stop.

He had said shamelessly that he would protect the child, but he couldn't even protect his only child.

"I am such an incompetent father for letting that child suffer so much."

Shen Yue was almost drowned in the ocean of negative energy. He was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time., who would have thought that Hashirama, who looked sunny and optimistic and laughed all day, suppressed so much pain in his heart.

But think about it carefully, Hashirama's life has never been happy.

Tobirama's misunderstanding, Madara's disapproval, Ryuki's alienation, the tribe's doubts, the villagers' expectations, the world's admiration and hatred, the burden of the Hokage on his shoulders, and the pressure of the God of Ninja on his head, all these piled up together, becoming a heavy burden that was about to collapse Hashirama, but he could never confide in his hesitation and pain in his heart.

Maybe, Hashirama now is more lonely than Madara at that time.

But Shenyue was still very angry, even more angry, she finally felt the same way for the master and Tobirama.

Senju Hashirama is really too much!

"Are you stupid? If you are so upset, why don't you talk to your master?"

"And are you going to put all your hopes on me? You are the Hokage, you bastard!"

Kamizuki was furious. Recalling what Hashirama said in the dessert shop a few days ago, she immediately understood that Hashirama wanted to push his lofty ideal of peace in the ninja world onto her head!

"In fact, I always think that Madara is more suitable to be the Hokage than me."

Hashirama laughed a few times foolishly, but he quickly put away his smile and sighed deeply:

"You must think that I am a useless and naive adult now."

After finally pouring out the depression that was suppressed in his heart, Hashirama's face brightened again. He hugged Shenyue tighter, just like a depressed person finally found an embrace to rely on. He stared into Shenyue's clear eyes and apologized to her with guilt:

"I'm really sorry for imposing my will on you..."

Hashirama recalled that at that time, it was like a spinning top in his mind, but this was not an excuse. He really shouldn't push the problem that he couldn't solve onto Shenyue's head.

No wonder Madara and Shenyue were so angry with him.

Guilt quickly flooded Hashirama's heart like the sea water coming from all directions. Looking at Shenyue who was angry like a pufferfish, he quickly rubbed her hair and apologized to her again:

"Sorry, Shenyue, don't take my stupid words to heart."

"Do you think I can't solve it?"

Shenyue bit her lips unconvinced and shouted angrily.

"I have been thinking about what you said these days. It's too late to take it back now!"

"Huh?!"

Hashirama's eyes suddenly lit up, and behind the two of them, Madara, who was hiding in the shadow of the fruit tree, gradually relaxed his frown.
