Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Has Chapter 52 achieved even the most basic reconciliation?

Madara told Hashirama to calm down and listen to him finish speaking, but the sudden appearance of the white-haired man had already ignited Madara's powder keg. At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to kill his opponent...

"Brother Ban! No!"

Seeing that Madara had already drawn his weapon and was about to fight Tobirama to the death, Yan Yi disregarded the wound on his arm and immediately spoke up to stop him.

Hashirama snapped out of his daze and grabbed Tobirama's arm.

"Tobirama, wait! I..."

"Big brother! You forgot? It's that kid..."

Although Tobirama sensed something different about the other person, the image of his younger brother being kidnapped kept flashing through his mind...

Moreover, now, no matter what the other party says, Tobirama must take the initiative.

"Madara... are you really a member of the Uchiha clan...?"

Hashirama's tone was somewhat hesitant. Although he also recognized Yan Yi's face, he still had a last shred of trust in Madara.

"..."

Madara was somewhat brought back to his senses by Yan Yi's voice. He was now staring intently at Hashirama, but his anger remained undiminished...

"Everyone, please calm down... please let me finish..."

There was no fierce look in Yan's eyes, only a deep sadness.

Tobirama still held his weapon, his eyes fixed on Yan Yi's face. He admitted that he had indeed gone too far just now, but his vigilance remained unchanged.

Hashirama's mind was in turmoil. His friend of so long, the kindred spirit he had finally met... was actually the murderer who kidnapped his younger brother?

Ban sighed, quickly tore off a piece of his sleeve, and swiftly bandaged Yan Yi's arm...

He felt guilty, not only for not protecting him, but also for having promised Yan Yi to stay calm no matter what happened.

"Brother Hashirama... Brother Tobirama. Although this isn't our first meeting, I have something to say to you..."

Yan Yi sat down abruptly on the shore, seemingly without any warning.

"Regarding what happened to Itama... I'm so sorry, truly sorry. He was my friend, and he even saved my life..."

Upon hearing Yan Yi's words, Tobirama and Hashirama's eyelids twitched violently. So the person their younger brother had saved was him?

"It turns out that it was you who Itama saved... But why did you take advantage of his kindness! Deceive him and kidnap him?" Tobirama's gaze was like a knife, questioning Yan Yi mercilessly.

Yan Yi did not answer, but instead asked, "How do you feel about forcing Itama to come out and kill my people?"

Tobirama was speechless for a moment... His father did force Itama to kill the other party's clansmen, but it wasn't Itama's own choice. However, they did bear some responsibility.

"I wanted to save him, I really wanted to save him! If we hadn't taken him back like that and hadn't retreated, you know what would have happened, Tobirama-nii!"

"I..."

indeed.

He could analyze it without Yan Yi explaining it to him.

If Itama had encountered someone from the Uchiha clan, he would normally have been killed on the spot... but the Uchiha clan unusually chose to spare his life.

And even if he and his clansmen arrive later, what will be the result? If Yan Yi doesn't force a retreat, the two sides will fight each other and suffer heavy casualties.

"..."

In an instant, Tobirama thought of many things. In that situation... there would probably only be one outcome.

After glancing at the little boy and confirming several times that there was no hostility in his eyes, Tobirama slowly sheathed his weapon.

"May I ask, what is the purpose of your visit to my elder brother?"

Yan Yi's voice was slightly hoarse: "The purpose is... we can't continue to misunderstand each other like this! Itama is my good friend, my best friend... I don't want to see the day he is killed."

"You... Madara, we're the same..."

Hashirama gradually pieced together the whole story. Madara and his younger brother—in reality, none of them needed to fight each other...

Ban didn't reply, but kept looking at his younger brother with concern.

He knew, of course, Hashirama's desire, because it was exactly the same as his own... If this struggle continued, his younger brother might die.

"I can assure you that my feelings for Itama are genuine, and I will definitely make sure he lives... Even if I can't save him right now, I will do my best to take care of him!"

Yan Yi's voice gradually choked, and tears began to fall from her eyes again...

"Please believe me, let's reconcile! At least let's start with each other... otherwise we'll all die."

Tobirama frowned, outwardly showing no reaction, but inwardly he had already begun to soften slightly.

He had sat down with his eldest and fourth brothers to discuss this issue: what constituted a "true agreement." He had initially thought his fantasies were too naive, but now it seemed not entirely impossible to try...

Hashirama stared intently at Yan Yi and Madara, his mind already completely at odds. Even though his brother was in their hands, it wasn't something they could release on their own.

He trusted Madara's character; he wasn't the kind of person who said one thing to someone's face and another behind their back. So, regarding Itama... although he was still unwilling, he was slightly relieved.

"Can you really be good to my younger brother Itama...? Even though he may have made a mistake, he really didn't mean it. He's a very kind child..."

Hashirama murmured, gazing hopefully in the direction of Genichi.

"I know... so I will definitely do my best!"

As she spoke, her originally dark eyes gradually turned crimson, making her look both eerie and beautiful.

"Sharingan?"

Tobirama's pupils contracted, somewhat incredulous.

He knew the Uchiha clan very well. Their most important organ was their eyes, which were the source of their greatest power. It was easy to imagine how difficult it was for them to awaken their eyes.

But this kid, who's about the same age as my fourth brother, is already here so early...?

When Ban saw his younger brother's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. Although he didn't know what kind of story his brother had with that Itama, the fact that his brother had opened his eyes for her...

"...As you've all seen, my younger brother Yan Yi truly adores your family's fourth brother. This power...is born from him..."

"...I understand. Although I can see that you are sincere, we are just talking for now. I will only fully consider your proposal when you can return my brother to me."

After saying that, Tobirama turned around and disappeared into the woods.

He was about to break the silence... Even though he was 90% convinced, he still maintained a sliver of caution. So all he could give them was a serious expression.

Hashirama gave Madara a deep look and said, "I understand, I understand now... Until I have power, you must take good care of my brother for me, even if it's just my request..."

After Tobirama left, Madara also lowered his guard.

He breathed a deep sigh of relief. Although he still remembered the incident of his younger brother being scratched, he still had a good impression of Hashirama.

"Don't worry... Although we come from rival families, we don't need to break ties because of this..."

Madara smiled helplessly. Their decision was essentially no different from betraying their clan, but fortunately, he and Hashirama were still clear-headed.

Rather than getting caught up in a vortex of hatred, born inexplicably, and dying inexplicably...wouldn't it be better for everyone to reconcile and live together?

"Ban, thank you. I'm leaving now... I'll try to figure something out!"

After saying that, Hashirama glanced apologetically in Madara's direction one last time...

"I'm sorry I hurt your brother. I apologize to you and your brother on Tobirama's behalf..."

With a flash, Hashirama disappeared into the forest.
