Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 102: A Prelude to Reconciliation?

The same scene played out in the Senju clan's territory, where Hashirama inherited the position of clan leader, and Tobirama followed him to become the clan leader's advisor.

Although this position didn't exist before, that doesn't prevent it from existing now, right?

Hashirama knew he wasn't that quick-witted, so he really relied on his clever second brother for many details.

Tobirama simply shrugged in agreement. After all, his older brother's idiotic ways were never reliable, and his tendency to become depressed at the drop of a hat... he wondered who he'd inherited that from...

Not for a moment did they grieve for the Buddha; the four brothers held a family meeting that very night.

Although Hashirama isn't exactly a child anymore, he's just a young man who has just come of age. Suddenly, their responsibilities have increased significantly, so they can no longer just think of themselves every day like before...

As the youngest of the four brothers, Itama was not assigned any tasks by his older brothers, who still thought that as long as he was happy, that was all that mattered.

After all... Itama has been overlooked too much, whether by his father or his clansmen... Itama was actually not happy in the clan's territory, as both Hashirama and Tobirama knew.

As for Watama... now they can finally train openly! Although the Senju clan doesn't intend to continue being enemies with the Hagoromo clan, they don't know what the Hagoromo clan is thinking...

......

The atmosphere among the Feathered Clan was heavier than ever before.

That night, Xiao Guang held his younger brother and comforted him all night... Although Xiao Guang was also very sad, he hadn't spent much time with that adoptive father after all. However, he couldn't bear to see his younger brother, with whom he had spent so much time, suffer.

Takita cried in Hikaru's arms all night until dawn... when he finally got out of bed as usual.

He figured it out, and he grew up...

Although it was too early for him, he had to, he absolutely had to shoulder the responsibility his father had passed down to him!

At the clan meeting, Takita seemed like a completely different person. He went from being a carefree and immature troublemaker to a clan leader who could dominate the entire clan meeting.

The light in his eyes was almost as intense as that of Kuranosuke.

Although his voice was still so childish, the way he spoke and his tone of voice were not what one would expect from a boy of that age.

That's why we have the current scene where Takita is presiding over the clan meeting...

"I plan to continue the alliance with the Uchiha clan. What do you all think?" Takita asked, frowning as he shared his thoughts.

He knew, of course, that many clansmen had died this time because of the alliance with the Uchiha.

However, anyone with eyes could see the sinister intentions of the Senju clan leader this time. If it weren't for their own clan leader cooperating with the Uchiha clan leader to perish together with Senju Butsuma... the outcome is self-evident, and everyone knows it.

"I have no objection..."

"Yes, me too..."

The clan elders and key members holding various positions all nodded in agreement...

Takita hesitated for a moment. Everyone agreed with the result, which was within his expectations, but what he was about to say... would probably provoke opposition from a considerable number of people.

"Well... there's one more decision: I need to reach a reconciliation with the Senju people as well..."

"No! I don't agree!"

Before Takita could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man in charge of weapons production.

He frowned, looking at Takita with disdain, and said, "The clan leader just died! It was those Senju clan guys who did it! How can we let it go so easily..."

Takita felt terrible listening to his eloquent speech.

How could he not think of this? That person was his own father! Although his father's concern for him was a little misplaced, Takita still relied heavily on his father. How could he not be sad?

In a place where no one could see, only her brother was there with her, comforting her as she cried.

"Enough!" Takita slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and glared fiercely at the other man. "Why do you think I want to reach a reconciliation? You lost your clan leader, but I lost my father! Don't I hate it?"

"and you..."

"Did Father's sacrifice mean we should continue fighting them to avenge him? Or would you be happy if our Feathered Clan were completely wiped out...?"

As Takita spoke, his eyes began to redden, but he maintained that fierce expression, like an angry little tiger.

"That's not what I meant..."

The man's tone suddenly became somewhat hesitant. He had thought that Takita was still the young master who knew nothing, but now it seemed that Takita's thinking was exceptionally clear.

Takita sighed, sat down again, and explained to everyone, "I'm not going to blindly seek peace with them. I'll visit the Uchiha first, and then formulate a strategy based on the situation... We can't keep fighting like this; it's pointless."

This time, everyone agreed with their reasoning. After all, following the Uchiha clan would save them a lot of trouble.

After the clan meeting, Takita felt his vest was completely soaked with sweat... He really wanted to cry, but he had to be strong, he had to!

Things are different now. My father is gone, and apart from sometimes being able to snuggle in my brother's arms... I can only rely on myself to be a good clan leader.

A plan has been drawn up, but the clan will need a long time to recover, and the Uchiha clan will need even more time to do so.

Therefore, the plan to visit the Uchiha clan will have to be put on hold for a while...

......

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three months, this forest has maintained an eerily peaceful state. Not even a minor conflict or clash has erupted...

Even when Senju and Uchiha ninjas encountered each other while out gathering supplies, they strangely refrained from provoking each other, maintaining a mysterious tacit understanding.

This situation has continued from the end of the war until today, exactly three months.

Yan Yi was struggling to drag a log to a building that was almost finished when he let out a deep breath.

"Phew~ Finally! Almost finished!" Yan smiled as she looked at the beautiful house in front of her.

Ban poked his head out from the roof and waved at Yan Yi, saying, "Thanks for your hard work, Yan Yi! This place will be finished soon!"

Izuna also came out of the house, handed Yan Yi a glass of water, and gently rubbed his younger brother's cheek.

"Finally! This is the last house!"

Izuna sighed, reflecting on how arduous it had been to rebuild the clan's territory over the past three months.

But everything is moving in a positive direction; what they are building now is the last house in the plan—their new home!

Other members of the tribe have already moved into new houses, but Ban, as the tribe chief, only started building his own house today, which can be considered as giving priority to the tribe members.

After tinkering on the roof for a few more minutes, Ban jumped down from the roof and casually ruffled the hair of his two younger brothers.

"Our territory will soon return to normal, but what about life afterward..."

Madara was implying something, but Yan Yi and Izuna immediately understood.

"I support you, Brother Ban!"

"Me too!"

Izuna and Gen nodded, their eyes filled with determination and longing.

However, before that... we need to hold a clan meeting to explain our purpose. After all, changing from a single ethnic group to jointly establish a village is something that has never been done before.

"Great! As long as you're all by my side, I can overcome any difficulty!" Ban said with a smile.

Seeing his younger brothers' adorable appearance, he couldn't help but hug them both closer.

......

"Brother, we've made up our minds, right?" Tobirama asked Hashirama one last time. "Once we've made this decision, we'll have to bear the consequences, no matter what the future holds!"

Hashirama nodded firmly and said, "Yes! I believe this is an inevitable trend for the future, and... Madara will definitely share the same thoughts as me!"

“Alright then…” Tobirama breathed a sigh of relief. “Let’s do it your way, brother. Although I’m still a little annoyed by those jealous people, you’re right, brother, we need peace…”

"Pfft..." Upon hearing Tobirama's words, Watama couldn't hold back any longer. "Hahaha, Second Brother, what are they?"

Itama glanced at his third brother, Watama, with a puzzled look, then at his second brother, Tobirama...

"Pfft..." Itama couldn't help but chuckle.
