Chapter 86 The Death of Itama
Chapter 86 The Death of Itama
The war lasted for three days and three nights. During Ningxia's time there, he roamed the relatively safe battlefield, rescuing one dying Uchiha after another.
But just as Ningxia was about to return, she stumbled upon several Uchiha men surrounding a Senju clan boy.
"etc."
Ningxia recognized the boy's appearance. Although he was very young, he looked a lot like Senju Itama, the third brother of the First Hokage, from the history books.
Also from Tsunade...
If Itama dies, the altered plot might be enough to awaken the Tiger Talisman, allowing him to return using the Rabbit Talisman.
but!
Thinking of Tsunade's perpetually drunken face, and how she would suddenly appear out of nowhere to elbow a woman whenever he got close to her.
He and Ai destroyed half of Raikage Village, fought a major battle with Mei Terumi in Kirigakure, and made Yekura so depressed that she became withdrawn.
Tsunade is too important to Ningxia. He may not be a Konoha resident, but if Tsunade wanted to, he could be directly registered as a Konoha resident.
Even if he doesn't like Konoha.
In the end, the urge to go back was suppressed by her feelings for Tsunade. Ningxia leaned close to Madara's ear and whispered, begging her to help her fake Itama's death.
"it is good."
Madara didn't know why Ningxia was acting this way, but she believed that Ningxia wouldn't harm her or the Uchiha clan. She took the knife stained with the fake death drug and went straight forward to stab Itama.
Itama's eyes were filled with fear of death. He opened his mouth as if to beg for mercy, but his life force seemed to be draining away little by little until his eyes were completely dim.
Madara stared blankly at Itama's feigned death. Even though she knew it was fake, she mistook Itama for Izuna.
This time, Ningxia asked her to go easy on her, so next time... will anyone from the Thousand Hands clan do the same as Ningxia?
"He's dead, you can leave now."
Madara casually dispersed a few ninjas, and then Ningxia stepped forward to bandage his wounds.
Itama cannot die; this concerns Tsunade.
"He... doesn't look much older than Izuna, does he?"
"Yes, he's about twelve or thirteen years old; he's still a child."
"..."
Madara lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought, when suddenly a heart-wrenching sound came from afar. Madara and Izuna immediately drew their weapons.
"Sitama!!!"
When Hashirama arrived late, he saw his younger brother lying on the rock and almost lost his mind.
But what made her feel even more desperate was Madara, who was holding a blood-stained katana.
Even if Hashirama had a strong heart, he couldn't suppress his anger when his newly acquainted friend killed his younger brother.
At this time, Tobirama also noticed Izuna and Ningxia. Although three years had passed since their last parting, Tobirama still remembered Ningxia.
So... he was an inherently evil Uchiha?
Tobirama was disappointed. She had actually written down what Ningxia said and read it over and over again, hoping to find a way to achieve peace.
But in the end, the person he admired turned out to be the executioner who killed his own brother. How tragic!
Madara wanted to explain to Hashirama, but at this moment Hashirama was consumed by rage. She was just a young girl, far from the maturity and composure of the future First Hokage.
Moreover, the Uchiha who had just left returned upon hearing the sound. Seeing two Senju clan brats, he was overjoyed, thinking he could perform another meritorious service.
"Let's retreat."
Ningxia gestured towards Tobirama with her lips, then mouthed to her, "Itama isn't dead. Wait two hours."
Tobirama was somewhat puzzled, but he still silently memorized the sentence.
As for those ninjas who were eyeing the enemy, Ningxia dismissed them with the excuse that he was afraid of reinforcements from the Senju clan coming from behind.
After escaping the war unscathed, Madara was filled with anxiety. Even though he had witnessed the deaths of his younger siblings, the thought that he couldn't even protect Izuna made him anxious.
she……
"Ban, let's talk."
Ningxia had already noticed Ban's unusual mood. Seeing that she was absent-minded, she told Izuna to wash up and go to bed early, and then went to talk to Ban.
With Ningxia's guidance and reassurance, Madara's anxiety was relieved. She believed that Hashirama would not be angry with her for almost killing Itama when they met again.
Her tense nerves relaxed, and she suddenly fell asleep in Ningxia's arms.
"what……"
Ningxia paused for a moment, then gently picked up the girl and placed her on the bedding. But when he tried to get up, he found Ban clutching his clothes tightly.
"..."
Ningxia gently tugged at it, but even when asleep, Ban's strength was still considerable. In the end, Ningxia had no choice but to take off her coat and leave.
In the darkness, as Ningxia's footsteps faded into the distance, a voice suddenly rang out:
"Idiot... I'll pull down my pants next time."
Meanwhile, in the Senju clan's territory, Hashirama was crying bitterly, not only because of his brother's death, but also because of the cruel fact that Madara had killed Itama.
The clansmen wanted to bury Itama with them, but Tobirama refused, saying that his sister was too sad and wanted to stay with her brother a little longer.
Meanwhile, Tobirama was also calculating the time. It had been almost two hours. Was Itama... really still alive?
"Waaaaah...it's a box room...it's a box room!!!"
"Sis... Sister... Why are you crying... You're making so much noise..."
Itama suddenly spoke, leaving Hashirama stunned for a moment. He was initially excited and delighted, but this quickly turned into terror: "A demon!!!"
After a chaotic scene, Tobirama pieced together the truth from Itama's memories: Madara had only intended to cover up the truth and did not actually want to kill Itama.
"Is that so? Then I misunderstood her? No, next time..."
Hashirama, belatedly realizing what was happening, quickly covered her mouth. This was a secret between her and Madara, and she absolutely couldn't let anyone else know.
Seeing his lively older sister, Tobirama gave her a light kick in the butt, telling her to go and rest.
At the same time, recalling Ningxia's smile when she left, a blush crept onto her face. She cursed inwardly, thinking, "No wonder she's a born evil Uchiha; she really knows how to seduce people."
For the next few days, Hashirama would go to the riverbank to wait for Madara, rain or shine.
Madara already knew, but he would deliberately hide each time, watching Hashirama squatting by the river, occasionally slapping himself and cursing himself for being so damned!
Ban's lips were practically curled up to the sky.
On the fourth day, Madara finally showed up, his face stern and sarcastic towards Hashirama. Hashirama, unusually, didn't show his malice and sincerely apologized to him.
Two girls who should have been enemies made peace at this moment.
Moreover, after this experience, they became even more determined to uphold each other's ideals.
The conversation then casually shifted to Ningxia, with Hashirama teasing Madara that he definitely liked her, but Madara always denied it.
Because that's...that's Izuna's fiancé, yes! Because he's Izuna's fiancé, it's impossible!
Hmm... not for the time being.
"Hey hey hey~ Madara, bring him next time, I have to thank him for saving my brother."
"No way!"
Madara naturally couldn't agree, but he couldn't resist Hashirama's persistent pleading and finally had to give in.
