Chapter 151: Filming, acting skills are online (two-in-one)

Uchiha Clan Leader's mansion.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the naked, strong flesh dancing in the courtyard, making the beads of sweat shed shine brightly. As the owner of the body slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, Uchiha Madara's morning exercise officially ended.

"Izuna, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

Slowly opening his eyes, Uchiha Madara looked at the empty training ground, his brows slightly furrowed.

Yesterday, he had repeatedly urged Izuna to get up early for morning exercise today, but now the sun was out, and he hadn't even seen his shadow.

"Ha~"

Just as Uchiha Madara's anger was about to erupt, Uchiha Izuna, who was yawning, arrived late.

"Izuna, you..."

Uchiha Madara's expression was unhappy, and he was about to attack, but he swept to the fatigue that couldn't be hidden on his brother's face, and the two black panda eyes were particularly eye-catching.

"Big Brother, sorry, I went to work overtime last night."

Izuna looked at Uchiha Madara, who had been waiting for a long time, and said very apologetically,

"Yesterday at midnight, the patrol team reported that there was a violent explosion near the clan territory, and I led the team to investigate."

"Explosion? Could it be that the enemy has touched over?"

Hearing that Izuna was delayed because of working overtime, Uchiha Madara's expression instantly eased a bit, and his tone also carried a hint of concern,

"Are you hurt?"

"Eh... didn't find the enemy, I hadn't arrived at the scene yet, and met Father-sama halfway."

Uchiha Izuna touched his head, his evasive eyes carrying a few hints of strangeness, stuttering,

"Father said he was practicing a new jutsu and didn't control the strength well during the process."

"So that's it, you've worked hard, Izuna."

Uchiha Madara, who turned around to put on his clothes, didn't see the strange look on Uchiha Izuna's face. After encouraging him a few words, he turned back, looked at his brother, waved his hand, and continued,

"Let's go, Cousin said to go to Nanga River for special training today, don't be late."

"Okay, Big Brother."

Uchiha Izuna, who heaved a sigh of relief, hurriedly followed. Actually, he didn't return late yesterday, but spent some time hiding his adult magazine.

And because his Dao heart was unstable, he was attracted by the new work he had just acquired, which led to him being hard all night without sleep.

"Don't know what kind of special training Big Cousin arranged."

Following behind Uchiha Madara, the haggard-faced Uchiha Izuna couldn't help but guess.

In his mind, although Uchiha Gin's strength was average, he had many ghost ideas. This special training would definitely give them some tricks.

"You'll know when you get there."

Uchiha Madara said coldly. He actually didn't have much expectation for Uchiha Gin's special training, just treating it as a family outdoor gathering.

The two flashed to the familiar riverside. The water of Nanga River was still murmuring. Looking at the familiar location, Uchiha Madara's childhood memories couldn't help but well up in his heart.

So many years have passed, things have changed, and people have changed. Thinking back to when he and Haxi Lama were still a pair of happy teenagers, training, competing, and sitting together imagining the future here every day, it was truly an unforgettable memory.

Recalling the water skipping stone from their first meeting, Uchiha Madara's cold mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Don't know if Haxi Lama's level of skipping stones has improved now, so he bent down to pick up a stone and threw it toward the water surface.

"Swish~~ slap~ slap~ slap~ plop..."

The stone drew a white line on the water surface, barely skipped a few times on the water, and then fell heavily to the bottom of the water.

"Swish~~ slap~ slap~ slap~ slap~ slap~ slap..."

Just as Uchiha Madara was lost in his memories, a familiar sound stirred his brain. He looked up and saw a round stone flying over from the woods on the opposite bank, skipping continuously on the calm lake of Nanga River like a dragonfly touching the water, and finally landed steadily at his feet.

"Hahahaha, Madara, I won again this time!"

The hearty and familiar voice rang in Uchiha Madara's ears. His heart shook violently. He struggled to move his gaze from the stone at his feet, looked at the figure walking slowly out of the woods on the opposite bank with disbelief, and a flash of joy crossed his eyes, but then he remembered what year it was, so his face turned cold, and he said coldly,

"Haxi Lama! How dare you appear here?"

Senju Hashirama, who appeared in Nanga River again, didn't wear his classic red armor, but wore a yellowish-brown haori on the outside, a dark green inner wear on the inside, and a light gray hakama on the lower body.

"Hehe, because I have many things I want to say to you, Madara."

Senju Hashirama, who was dressed very formally, waved his hand with a smile, looking like a neighbor's big boy, completely different from his strong self on the battlefield.

"Hmph! I have nothing to say to you."

Uchiha Madara waved his hand to stop Uchiha Izuna from drawing his sword. Although there was a hint of secret joy in his heart, he still frowned, looked at Senju Hashirama, who was harmless to humans and animals on the opposite bank, and warned.

"Really? Then I will be very sad~"

Senju Hashirama, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, curled his lips resentfully, looking pitiful, making Uchiha Madara's heart tighten.

"Bah! You guy! You humiliated my Big Brother like that, and you still dare to come in front of us and act!"

Seeing Senju Hashirama's annoying expression, Uchiha Izuna, who didn't buy his act, was instantly furious. Regardless of Uchiha Madara's obstruction, he pulled out his long sword and was about to jump over to fight to the death with the man who snatched his brother.

"Wait! Hashi-Izuna, be careful!"

Uchiha Madara, who was charmed by Senju Hashirama, didn't pay attention for a moment and let Uchiha Izuna rush out. He slapped his thigh and shouted hurriedly,

"Go to hell!"

But it was too late. Uchiha Izuna's long sword burst with cold light, slashing toward the unarmed Senju Hashirama with the momentum of thunder.

Just as he was about to cut him in half, Senju Hashirama, who was shrouded in the wind of the sword, didn't show any fear, but rolled his eyes in his heart.

Senju Hashirama, with an indifferent expression, looked at Uchiha Izuna, who was rushing over, extended a hand, and blue-purple chakra erupted from his body, instantly covering his whole body.

"Ding! Crack!!"

Senju Hashirama blocked Uchiha Izuna's charged blow with just one palm, and amidst the surprised eyes of several people, he used his super strength to break the long sword in his hand.

"Don't hurt my brother!"

At this time, Uchiha Madara couldn't care about appreciating beauty anymore, drew his sword, and flew forward, wanting to save Izuna from fire and water.

"Madara, you know I don't like fighting."

Looking at Uchiha Madara, who was about to arrive, Senju Hashirama showed a helpless expression, and then a flash of determination flashed, raising both hands and clapping them together.

The classic double-handed clap made Uchiha Madara's eyelids jump. He hadn't suffered less from this move recently, and subconsciously his chrysanthemum tightened.

"Boom~~~"

As green light flashed from Senju Hashirama's palms, countless thick wooden branches rose from the ground, bypassing Uchiha Izuna, who was holding the broken sword, and rolled straight toward Uchiha Madara.

The drunkard's heart is not in the cup.

"Brother, be careful!"

Seeing that the other party was just using himself as bait to lure his brother into the trap, Uchiha Izuna, who was anxious in his heart, opened his scarlet eyes and quickly formed seals with his hands.

In less than a second, rich fire-attribute chakra poured out of his mouth, attacking Senju Hashirama in front of him.

"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!"

Only a cold voice sounded, and the white-haired guy wearing classic blue armor appeared in front of everyone.

Scarlet eyes carried deep disgust, spitting water from his mouth, neutralizing all the flames sprayed by Uchiha Izuna. For a time, water mist filled the entire battlefield.

"Big Brother, I said it, these evil Uchihas cannot be communicated with."

Senju Tobirama, whose face was as cold as frost, stood beside Senju Hashirama with his arms crossed, his cold eyes sweeping over the vigilant Uchiha Izuna, and said.

"Tobirama, don't interfere, this is a private matter between Madara and me."

While manipulating the wooden branches to try to capture the flexible Uchiha Madara, and while splitting his mind to communicate with his brother, Senju Hashirama said in a rare serious tone,

"Hehe, then I'll see how you persuade this thorny guy."

Senju Tobirama rarely didn't argue, but instead retreated to the rear, with a look of watching a play.

"Haxi Lama!"

Uchiha Madara ran.

"Madara!"

Senju Hashirama chased.

"Swish~"

Uchiha Izuna, who was worried about Uchiha Madara's safety, was about to step forward to help, but was blocked by a kunai shot to his feet.

"Don't move, otherwise I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life."

Senju Tobirama maintained the posture of throwing the kunai, looking at Uchiha Izuna, who was tense all over, with interest, his tone full of threats.

"Hehe, Senju Tobirama, do you think I will believe your words?"

Uchiha Izuna sneered, his three tomoe turning slightly, scanning the arrogant white-haired guy in front of him, trying to find a flaw in him.

"Hmph! With just those eyes of yours, they can't play any role at all."

Senju Tobirama snorted contemptuously, his scarlet pupils full of disdain, shaking his finger at Uchiha Izuna, who was ready to go, and said,

"If you don't take their lives to heart, then just make a move."

"What do you mean?"

Uchiha Izuna heard Senju Tobirama's abrupt words, his delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly, and the confusion in his eyes was about to overflow.

"Come out! Let them see."

As Senju Tobirama's words fell, four strange figures slowly walked out from the jungle behind him. They were all faces Uchiha Izuna didn't recognize, but from their appearance, clothing, and chakra, it could be judged that the people who appeared were all from the Senju clan.

"Hmph, just a few unknown helpers."

Uchiha Izuna didn't take the few people who appeared to heart, raised his hands, and prepared to release a powerful ninjutsu again to help his brother get out of trouble.

"Then look, who is behind them?"

Senju Tobirama finally waited for this moment. The slightly raised corners of his mouth were like an AK on continuous fire, unable to be pressed down at all.

"Hmm~ hmm~"

The four Senju clansmen stepped back at the right time, revealing two bound figures. One of them saw Uchiha Izuna, his eyes full of excitement, but his mouth was stuffed, unable to make any sound.

"Cough, cough... Little Zhili? Big Cousin!"

Uchiha Izuna's fire-attribute chakra was ready to go. Just at that moment, he saw the two bound figures.

Gritting his teeth, he swallowed a mouthful of flames into his stomach. Wisps of black smoke drifted out from between

Holy crap, how did the two of them get captured?

Suppressing the rising flames within his body, Uchiha Izuna looked speechlessly at the captured Uchiha Gin and Uchiha Zhili, and spoke up.

"Senju Tobirama, you had better not harm them, otherwise, even if you die, I will go to your grave and take a dump."

No, why does it sound like you're hoping the other party will kill the hostages?

"It seems you don't want to cooperate, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Upon hearing Uchiha Izuna's words, Senju Tobirama was so angry his nose went crooked. He casually pulled the restrained Uchiha Zhili over, removed the gag, and said with an unpleasant expression,

"You little girl, persuade that little punk on the other side to surrender immediately."

"Hoo~ cough cough"

In a dazed state, Uchiha Zhili took a few long-overdue deep breaths of fresh air. After regaining her senses, she glared with hateful eyes at the culprit beside her.

This white-haired guy with a funeral face actually stuffed her with a gag full of strange odors.

"Little Zhili! How did you get captured?"

Uchiha Izuna could not suppress the questions in his heart and asked first,

"Ugh~ Mr. Gin and I agreed to meet at the Naka River today for special training, but we didn't wait for Mr. Gin, and instead were captured by this guy and his men."

After retching a few times, Uchiha Zhili looked pale at Senju Tobirama beside her and explained to the confused Uchiha Izuna,

"Ah? Then how did Cousin get captured?"

Uchiha Izuna was also completely confused. According to Cousin's strength, although he was a slacker, it was impossible that he didn't even have the chance to send a distress signal, right?

"Cough cough, when I was captured, I already saw Mr. Gin tied up. They must have ambushed him long ago."

Coughing a few times to dissipate the strange smell in her mouth, Uchiha Zhili raised her head and explained to Uchiha Izuna,

"Don't worry about us, help the Young Clan Leader first!"

Looking at the situation before her, Uchiha Zhili, who knew what was important, immediately made a judgment. With a heroic look of martyrdom, she stared tightly at Senju Tobirama with a gaze of death-defying resolve, not yielding an inch.

"Haha, I just love torturing stubborn little girls. I hope your mouth can be as hard as it is now in a little while."

"Heh, despicable Senju clan, use whatever methods you have. If I, Uchiha Zhili, frown even once, I'll change my surname to Senju!"

Uchiha Zhili continued her output.

"I'll deal with you later, first I'll give you a little warning."

Senju Tobirama shook his head; it seemed he didn't want to make a move now. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Uchiha Gin, who had been silent all along, raised an eyebrow, and spoke to the four Senju clansmen standing idly by,

"Fab Four, you didn't break this guy, did you?"

"Quack~ so stuffy!!"

"I've had enough!"

The four people questioned by Senju Tobirama had strange lights flickering in their narrow eyes. They stuck out their long tongues to lick their lips, their philosophical faces carrying a bit of a lewd smile, and they spoke strange nonsense in a weird accent that no one understood.

"Uh"

Even Senju Tobirama himself was a bit stunned. Are these clones all performance-personality types? With this kind of expansive performance, it really doesn't look like it's being acted out.

"Cough cough... It seems the effect is good. See that, Uchiha Izuna? The end of stubborn resistance is to be like this guy, having his soul shaken out of his body from eating hot dogs."

Reminding himself in his heart not to break character, Senju Tobirama put on a cold face, pulled up Uchiha Gin, who was kneeling on the ground with a dull expression, and warned Uchiha Izuna, whose eyes were burning with fire.

"Senju Tobirama! I want you dead!"

If the flames in his eyes could turn into reality, Senju Tobirama should not even have a grain of ash left by now. Uchiha Izuna's angry emotions were about to reach their peak, and the three tomoe began to spin rapidly under the huge emotional stimulation, showing faint signs of merging.

Yes! It's working!

Senju Tobirama, who saw all this, was secretly happy. It seems his script could at least get an Oscar nomination.

Things are about ready here, now let's see how the energy bar is charging on Cousin's side.

The result on the other battlefield left him dumbfounded.

"Haha, Hashirama~ come chase me! Can't catch me, right?"

Uchiha Madara twisted his flexible body to dodge the incoming wooden branches while looking at Senju Hashirama with an evil, wild charm, provoking him.

"Madara! See how I punish you properly after I catch you!"

Senju Hashirama, who was already in character, drove dozens of wooden branches like tentacles, relentlessly attacking Uchiha Madara, with the clear intention of not giving up until he caught him.

"Uchiha Madara! You wouldn't want your loved ones to be tortured to death by me like this, would you?"

This scene, overflowing with peach-colored vibes, made Senju Tobirama's sphincter tighten. Unable to bear it any longer, he shouted loudly,

"Look, he's already been broken now~"

As he spoke, he pulled up Uchiha Gin, whose sanity value was negative, and showed him to Uchiha Madara with an evil smile.

"Cousin? You despicable guy... %... &￥&*!"

Uchiha Madara, who had been in a decent mood, saw the broken Uchiha Gin and his anger level instantly maxed out. His eyes turned scarlet, and a cold, gloomy aura permeated the entire battlefield. The huge pressure made the few people present unable to help but look sideways.

"Hashirama! Is this the peace you speak of? &&*…￥#@%&*%*&*…#@……"

After scolding the small one, he found the old one. After spraying the white-haired guy, he turned his gun directly and started frantically outputting at the black-haired Senju Hashirama.

"Madara"

Senju Hashirama, who had become a drama queen, first dimmed his eyes, then as if thinking of something, his eyes were filled with brilliance again. Looking at the gnashing Uchiha Madara, he spoke slowly,

"I can let them go, but..."

"Spit it out if you have something to say!"

Uchiha Madara said coldly. Negotiating with me? What do you really take me for in your heart?

"I want... you!"

Senju Hashirama's firm face made a shocking statement, scaring Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Zhili on the field into screaming,

"Huh??"

"Pfft!!!"

At a high point not far from the battlefield, Uchiha Tajima, who had just taken a sip of tea, performed a "Water Style: Dam-Breaking" on the spot. His pair of scarlet eyes were full of strange colors, and he couldn't help but turn his head to ask the person beside him,

"Gin? This wasn't written in the script!"

"Trust me, my actors have all received professional training~"

……

"Brother, no! They must be trying to capture you back as a bargaining chip to force Father to submit!"

Uchiha Izuna was the first to jump out. Despicable Senju clan, your tricks have already been seen through by me!

"What do you mean by that?"

Uchiha Madara didn't have much of a reaction to this explosive statement. Instead, he frowned tightly and stared at Senju Hashirama with suspicious eyes, hoping he would give a reasonable explanation.

"Uh... you might not know, my wedding date is approaching..."

Senju Hashirama scratched his head embarrassedly, looking shy as he explained to the questioning Uchiha Madara,

"Snap!!"

A crisp sound rang out.

"Ah? What sound was that?"

Everyone was confused and looked around for the source of the sound.

"Brother, what was that sound just now?"

Uchiha Izuna, equally confused, flashed to his brother's side, turning on his Sharingan to scan around, trying to find the source of the sound.

Nothing, just the sound of a heart breaking.

"Your wedding date is approaching, what does that have to do with my brother?"

Izuna, who had been the best mouthpiece since childhood, asked the question everyone present wanted to know the answer to without hesitation.

"That... the Uzumaki clan we originally agreed upon seems to have called off the marriage."

"Clatter~"

The sound of fragments healing rang out again.

"Hahahaha, I knew it, no one would ever take a fancy to a fool like you!"

Just as one uses heavy rain to disguise tears, Uchiha Madara used loud laughter to hide his joy. With a few teardrops in his scarlet eyes, he laughed very exaggeratedly and mocked him, out of breath.

"No choice, I'm in urgent need of a marriage partner now."

Ignoring Uchiha Madara's mockery, Senju Hashirama said firmly, with not a trace of pretense on his face.

"So you're looking for me?"

Uchiha Madara felt wonderful inside, but he didn't show it on his face. With a look of disgust, he waved his hands and refused,

"Not a chance!"

"Sigh... I knew it, that's why I captured this guy."

Senju Hashirama pointed at Uchiha Gin in Senju Tobirama's hands and said extremely seriously,

"If you don't submit to me, I'll take this guy back."

"Huh? My cousin is already thirty years old, you know?"

Uchiha Izuna couldn't help but complain,

"Heh, it's fine, I think this curly-haired dead-fish-eyed guy still has some charm~"

Senju Hashirama waved his hand, indicating he wasn't a picky eater.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo~~~"

Just as the few were discussing heatedly, in a corner forgotten by everyone, the purple-haired Uchiha Zhili's eyes couldn't help but turn scarlet after hearing Senju Hashirama's explosive statement.

Two tomoe spun rapidly, and in no time they turned into three, but the speed of the rotation did not stop at all, and there was a trend of becoming even more intense.

"Brother! Let's end the joke here!"

Senju Tobirama, who was watching the show from the side, felt a sour pain in his stomach. How can this transformation technique fake even personality? Could it be that he was influenced by the characteristics carried in Senju Hashirama's chakra?

"Brother! Let's end the joke here!"

Unable to bear it any longer, he spoke up to interrupt the playfulness of the few.

"Mm~ sorry, I lost my head when I saw Madara."

Senju Hashirama heard Senju Tobirama's reminder, patted his head, and replied with a smile. Then his expression changed, and a fierce aura spilled out of his body.

Looking at the Uchiha brothers before him, he said in a very unfamiliar tone,

"If you refuse to come with me, then this guy will have no use at all."

As he spoke, he reached out toward the dazed Uchiha Gin.

"Don't even think about it!"

Only hearing a violent shout from Uchiha Madara's mouth, the next second he rushed in front of the side-standing Senju Hashirama, waving his long sword, aiming directly at his... arm.

Cousin, he was soft-hearted after all, unlike some white-on-the-outside-black-on-the-inside guy who specializes in stabbing people in the back.

"Heh, finally showing a flaw."

A smile of a successful scheme flashed in Senju Hashirama's eyes. Several flexible wooden branches broke through the ground from under his feet, instantly grabbing Uchiha Madara, who was stalled in mid-air.

"Oh no!"

Uchiha Izuna saw this scene and jumped in anxiety. He didn't care about the gap in strength and flew forward, wanting to help his brother out of the predicament.

"Good, good, good, the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather!"

Senju Hashirama didn't hold back either. He increased the output of Wood Style, and the wooden branches quickly branched and expanded, catching the flaw-filled Uchiha Izuna right in the act.

"Mmph mmph mmph~ let us go!"

In his anxiety, the two brothers, who had been caught in their flaws by Senju Hashirama, were tied tightly by tentacle-like wooden branches. As the chakra in their bodies was sucked away by the Wood Style, the two, unable to even maintain their Sharingan, went limp and let their hands hang down powerlessly.

"Hoo~ Hashirama, I know your target is me. Let them go, and I'll go with you."

Uchiha Madara, panting heavily, stared tightly at the man before him who made him feel unfamiliar, and said coldly.

"Especially that curly-haired one, he's old and his strength is a drag; taking him to the Senju clan is just a waste of food."

Uh, although I feel a warmth in my heart, why does what you say sound so unpleasant?

"Why? Do we need you to point fingers at which person we want now?"

Senju Tobirama from the side leaned over, reached out and patted Uchiha Madara's face, indicating that he could have whichever one he wanted.

"Damn it!"

Uchiha Izuna, who was powerless, could only hang on the tree in impotent rage, his lips almost bitten until they bled.

"Brother, I've been annoyed by this grinning kid for a long time. Since he's useless anyway, send him to the Yellow Springs."

Seeing that the emotions were brewed enough, the second male lead Senju Tobirama stood out and reminded Senju Hashirama that it was about time to wrap up.

"Okay."

Senju Hashirama, who didn't forget to add scenes for himself until the end, first looked at Uchiha Madara, who was about to explode, with a conflicted look, then turned his head with difficulty.

Looking at Uchiha Izuna, who was also glaring, he stretched out one hand, turned it into a sharp wooden branch, held it high, and his eyes were filled with chilling killing intent.

Uchiha Gin, who had been offline for a long time, saw this scene, and a flash of brilliance crossed his eyes,

"You guys have had your fun acting, is it time for me, the male lead, to perform?"
