Chapter 814

After he returned to his room, the Flying Thunder God mark left in Konoha was triggered, and Tobirama teleported straight back to Konoha.

What he didn't know was that before him, Lin Cheng, who had already eaten and drunk his fill, had also sent his main body back here.

So when Tobirama pushed open the door and walked into Hashirama's courtyard, the scene he saw nearly made his chakra explode.

"B-big brother!"

Tobirama's gaze swept the surroundings a few times. Whether it was the black cat carving outside the courtyard behind him, or the marker at the courtyard entrance, everything looked perfectly normal.

And he hadn't sensed any sign of being under genjutsu either, but then why, why was his big brother holding hands with that guy, and his big brother's other hand had even slipped inside the other's shirt…

"Tobirama, why are you back?"

Hashirama looked at Tobirama's sudden appearance, also completely baffled. Just now it was because Lin Cheng had returned, so she had hurried to bring him back for treatment.

But how could Tobirama have appeared here? Wasn't he supposed to be in Sand Hidden Village? Had something happened?

"I did have something to come back and ask you about, but that's not important right now. Can you first let me understand exactly what is going on between you two!"

A bewildered Senju Tobirama slammed the courtyard gate shut, his face dark as he looked toward the adult Lin Cheng. He had known that guy was no good — the younger one was a playboy, and now the older one didn't even distinguish between men and women?

But thinking about it that way didn't seem right either — the younger one had also turned a man into a woman.

"N-no way, is his big brother still his big brother?"

"It's exactly what you're seeing!"

Being cornered by her younger brother, Hashirama's feelings were truly quite tangled, especially since she still had to wear this Edo Tensei body for now.

But if she were to come up with an excuse to brush it off, or simply claim it was a misunderstanding.

That wouldn't work either — dare to do it, dare to own it. If she couldn't even own up to this much, there'd be no point in her being with Lin Cheng.

"N-no, I mean, one of you is a living person, the other is at least let big brother come back to life and return to the village first, the secret needs to be unraveled, right?"

Tobirama no longer wanted to fuss over things like age or gender.

What he couldn't figure out most was, with this Edo Tensei body, how on earth had the two of them managed to bring themselves to do it!

"Soon, in a few more months there'll be a new body ready. At that point we'll do it all at once — I'll use my original body directly, so I can still be your big brother for about half a year!"

Her eyebrows twitching a few times, Hashirama shook off Lin Cheng's hand and turned to walk toward Tobirama.

She even roughly told him about the later plans as well.

"Half a year… wait, what do you mean 'big brother for half a year'? Even if it's a year, a few years, a hundred years from now, you're still my big brother!"

Hurt by the words "big brother for only half a year," Tobirama's first reaction was that his brother was going to disown him. They were clearly brothers — why would his big brother abandon his little brother for a man..

"Half a year from now, you might have to change how you address me. Although it might be hard to take, being called 'big sister' isn't bad either."

Resting her chin on her hand, Hashirama looked at her sorrowful little brother, and for a moment suddenly felt a bit worried — was it really so hard for Tobirama to accept the fact that she had become a woman?

But they could all die and come back to life, so becoming a woman wasn't really a big deal, was it?

Hadn't she watched those two boys transform before, and never seen Tobirama take much issue with it?

"Huh?"

Tobirama's brain finally caught up at this point — his big brother was going to become his big sister. That feeling was strange enough.

But it was still far better than his brother abandoning him. At least he'd still be the little brother — whether it was big brother or big sister, he didn't get a say, and no one would even listen to his opinion. Truly, he couldn't be more miserable!

It's all that bastard's fault!

"So, you can't accept it?"

Hashirama looked at Tobirama, finding his little brother's expression strangely odd. Perhaps he really couldn't accept it — after all, not everyone could accept having their lifelong perception overturned.

"Don't mind him. Once the body shaping is complete, he'll naturally start calling you 'big sister'!"

The adult Lin Cheng stood to the side, watching Hashirama's expression turn somewhat dejected, and stepped forward wanting to offer some comfort.

"No… it's not that I can't accept this. I thought my brother was about to do something dangerous." Tobirama looked up and glared furiously at Lin Cheng — everything was that guy's fault.

The younger one at least had passable cooking skills, but this older one couldn't do anything.

"Then let's just wait half a year. I'm really looking forward to when Tobirama calls me 'big sister.' The current Tobirama is already older. Lin Cheng, do you know? When Tobirama was little, he was especially cute — all chubby — but even as a child he liked staring at people with wide eyes."

Hashirama had originally just wanted to see whether Tobirama truly couldn't accept it. As for acting dejected — every time she came up with an idea before and Tobirama shot it down, she liked doing this.

As long as it wasn't too excessive, Tobirama would generally agree.

But some things still wouldn't fly — like back then with the tailed beasts, playing pitiful still earned her a scolding from her little brother.
