Chapter 159: Visiting Konoha
"Grandpa, are you hungry? How about we go have breakfast?" Lingyue suggested tentatively. Although Lingyue had been to the Warring States Period, Tajima was no longer there at that time, and Madara was the clan leader, so Lingyue didn't know this grandpa very well. Maybe all Uchiha people like to eat sweets, so grandpa must like it too.
"Okay, okay, I was having a good breakfast over there. I didn't expect to be here the next second. Grandpa is hungry too. Come on, come on, my dear granddaughter, let's go eat." Tiandao smiled from ear to ear.
"Look, have you seen the expression on father's face, brother?" Quannai looked at the backs of Tiandao and Lingyue as they left.
"I've seen it happen. When you were in your mother's womb, everyone said it was a girl. You have no idea how happy your father was," Madara recalled. "Then when you were born and it turned out to be a boy, you can't even begin to imagine how disappointed your father was."
"Well, that really disappoints everyone." Izumi smiled a little awkwardly.
"Let's all go have breakfast," Hashirama said with a conciliatory look on his face. "After being chased and beaten by Uncle Tajima at the beginning, I'm sure everyone must be tired."
Everyone went back to the house to eat breakfast. Lingyue patiently picked up some food for Tiandao, who, without even looking at what Lingyue picked up, stuffed it all into his mouth, saying "delicious, delicious" and nodding. Madara and Izuna were shocked to see this. You know, Tajima is very cautious about eating. He only eats relaxedly when he's at home. Because they didn't want to be chased and beaten by Tajima again, the four of them ate very quietly, fearing that Tajima would target them. It really is a relationship between generations. They finished their breakfast quietly, not daring to breathe.
While Tiandao was coaxed by Lingyue to go for a walk in the village, the eight people in Ban were discussing at home, "It's a good thing that father was coaxed into losing his way, otherwise we would have suffered the consequences." Izuna sighed.
"Uncle Tajima still looks so serious. I used to be afraid of him." Hashirama and Senju Hashirama shook their bodies.
"Father has always been like this." Ban seemed to be used to it.
"Uncle Tajima's coming here was an accident, but the reason he came here was different from ours. We all came here because of my scroll, and I just studied the scroll. Now Uncle Tajima appears here inexplicably, how should he go back? Will it have any impact on us back then, and will it affect us now?" Tobirama and Senju Tobirama were worried about this matter. What if Tajima's appearance affected us until now, then...
"Don't worry about that, I know my father a little bit. He looks very serious on the surface, but he is actually very protective of his children. Knowing that Guaiguai exists because of you, he will probably not stop it. In fact, in order to be more in line with the future, he will not hesitate even if he knows that he will die then." Madara and Uchiha Madara nodded affirmatively.
"So there's no need to rush to send Uncle Tajima back now. Maybe when the time comes, Uncle Tajima will go back on his own." Hashirama and Senju Hashirama were relatively optimistic.
"So all we have to do now is to coax our father." Izuna and Uchiha Izuna nodded.
"We have to go to work. Tobirama, hurry up and use Flying Thunder God, otherwise it will be too late and we will be late." Hashirama was rarely keen on going to the Hokage's office.
"Brother, this is not how you use Flying Thunder God." Tobirama pinched the bridge of his nose.
"But we're really going to be late. I remember you left a mark in the Hokage's office." Hashirama reacted quickly, which was rare.
"Okay, let's go. I think you just want to escape from Uncle Tajima." Tobirama sighed helplessly and used Flying Thunder God to take himself and Hashirama away from the Uchiha clan's territory.
Tobirama and Hashirama left, leaving the six people staring at each other in amazement. "I'll go to the laboratory and take a look." Senju Tobirama broke the silence first.
"I'm going too." Uchiha Izuna pulled Senju Tobirama away. He had never been so looking forward to going to Senju Tobirama's laboratory at this moment.
"I'll go see Jing and the others. I don't know how the father and son are doing recently?" Izuna rarely thought of her and Tobirama's children and grandchildren, mainly because she didn't want to face her strict and protective father.
Only Madara, Uchiha Madara, and Senju Hashirama were left. "Madara, let's go to the outskirts of the village." Senju Hashirama dragged Uchiha Madara out, leaving Madara alone. Madara didn't go anywhere, just relaxing in the small courtyard. The Fourth War might not happen. Even Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and his men were a potential threat. With experience from other dimensions, dealing with them would be relatively easy. It wouldn't be like the first time, where he was completely blinded. Madara thought a lot. Guaiguai wouldn't die like he did in his previous life. The Fourth War hadn't happened, so there was still time. Presumably, those men in black were from the Ōtsutsuki clan. Now that they knew who the enemy was, dealing with her wouldn't be difficult. Guaiguai was still there, she was still alive and well. This time, he would definitely protect her. Madara silently told himself that he would never let history repeat itself.
"Grandpa, is it fun in the village?" Ling Yue said.
"Well, it looks pretty good. Although it has some flaws, it's at least acceptable." Tajima is not the old-fashioned type who insists on fighting the Senju clan to the death. He also yearned for it when he was young, but in the end he failed to take that step. Madara at least took that step. Although things got a little bad afterwards, it finally eliminated some barriers between the clans. It looks very lively here and it can be regarded as a successful case.
"That's good. I thought Grandpa wouldn't like it here."
"Do you still really think I'm an old-fashioned person? Grandpa also thought about this thing when he was young. Later, more and more things put pressure on me, so I put it aside. I didn't expect that this kid Madara was so bold to think of it. He is worthy of being my son and is very courageous." Tajima's face showed a proud expression of affirmation for his son.
"Grandpa has the same idea." Obviously, Lingyue did not expect this.
"Madara is my second son. Before him, there was an older brother whose talent was comparable to Madara's. At that time, I trained him to be the next clan leader. However, God was jealous of his talent. During a rescue, he died at the hands of the Hyuga clan in order to protect his people. Since then, I had this idea. Later, one thing after another made me more certain of my idea. It's just that I was not as lucky as Madara at that time to have a partner like Hashirama." Tajima said with emotion.
"I was worried that you might be unhappy, Grandpa."
"So Madara and the others sent you here as a lobbyist?"
"I guess so." Lingyue told the truth.
"Well, now that it's done, don't regret it. This is a good thing. At least many children will have a home."
