The next day.

Uchiha brought her son back to the Shirakawa clan with her family. She breathed a heartfelt sigh of relief. At the same time, she asked her brothers about the Senju clan with some anxiety. The reason was easy to find, after all.

We all know that Uchiha's only real enemy is the Senju, and vice versa.

Since she is going to marry an Uchiha, these things should be clear.

"Senju..." Shirakawa Hideryu, who had no doubt that he was there, thought for a moment and replied, "Like Uchiha, it is currently ruled by two brothers. The elder brother is called Senju Hashirama, and he is a powerful and aboveboard man.

Man." Having said this, he showed some admiration. Although the Shirakawa clan and the Senju clan can be regarded as hostile families from now on, this does not hinder his understanding of the Senju Hashirama. "As for my younger brother Senju Hashirama,

Between the hands..."

"Senju... Tobirama..." Uchiha chewed the name slowly, always feeling as if he had heard it somewhere before, "What happened to him?"

"His reputation outside is not very good." Shirakawa Hideryu replied, "To put it nicely, he is very resourceful, and to put it worst, he is despicable. By the way, he and your fiancé are mortal enemies, and they fight to the death as soon as they meet.

"That kind of thing." This matter is not a secret in the ninja world. When the Senju and Uchiha fight, it is usually the elder brother versus the older brother and the younger brother versus the younger brother. It is said that when the two older brothers fight, they usually yell at each other.

His name can be heard from several mountains away; and the two younger brothers... well, they often fight and quarrel politely.

Some members of the Ninja clan who participated in the battle with the two clans witnessed this incident with their own eyes, and told others about it after returning alive, so it gradually spread.

Uchiha Obito: "..." So... that guy can't really be Senju Tobirama, right? It shouldn't be... right? It's boring for a dignified second-in-command in the clan to do such a thing, no matter how you think about it.

Seeing his sister's worried expression, Shirakawa Hideryu misunderstood something and comforted him: "Don't worry, Kiko. That's a matter between men. It's usually resolved on the battlefield and has nothing to do with you. Common sense dictates.

Say, you are unlikely to meet the other person."

"...Hmm." No...brother, I may have already met...

In fact, I did encounter it, but...due to various reasons, there was a slight misunderstanding in Uchiha Oiko's mind.

Of course, the misunderstanding occurred, on the one hand, because of Shirakawa Hideryu's speech, and on the other hand, because...

After returning to the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Izuna, who felt a little guilty because she had overplayed her game, sent people one after another to send piles of gifts to her young fiancée in the mood of "atonement". And it was the same as before.

The difference is that these few gifts are basically things she likes.

For example, special desserts from various places in the ninja world, some interesting travel novels, exquisite and compact cats and dogs...

If he really wants to please someone, there is no reason why he cannot succeed. Not to mention, he has fully understood his little fiancée's personality and preferences through actual contact.

As a result, almost every one of these gifts made Uchiha unable to put them down.

What made her even more happy was that this time the letter from her fiancé no longer had any head-shaking questions. It just said hello politely and told her some interesting things, and also told her some Uchiha stories.

The unique customs and habits of a clan. I hope she can be mentally prepared in advance after knowing about them, so as not to be ignorant in the future.

Anyway...

"Very Asashi, this Izuna-kun." Mrs. Shirakawa commented in a good mood.

There is a saying that "Don't look at what he says, look at how he does it." From the performance of the future son-in-law, the mother-in-law-to-be judged at least one thing -

The other party has completely accepted her daughter as her fiancée, and is actively and seriously preparing for their future marriage.

Of course, you can also say that the other party is just showing off, but how many people are unwilling to even do this most basic show?

Having this intention is a good thing.

Unknowingly, Uchiha Izuna once again gained the favorability of her future mother-in-law. At the same time, it also made Uchiha Oichi subconsciously feel that her fiancé was indeed a gentle, considerate, elegant and polite person. Although she was not interested in marrying him.

I don’t have much expectations, but... it’s always a good thing if your partner is a good person, right?

at the same time……

She looked down at a jade pendant hanging around her waist.

This is a piece of very good quality black jade, carved into a small black cat with big eyes and a short head.

She had given the other party a wood carving before, and this stone carving was probably a return gift from her fiancé——

Your heart is like a flower and a tree, it is easy to see spring when it turns to the sun; my heart is like a rock, it cannot be turned around easily.

She doesn't understand too complicated principles,

But cats are very cute.

She likes it very much.

Therefore, soon after receiving it, she happily hung it on her belt, and was teased by her mother...

But, but, cats are so cute~

What she didn't know was that her fiancé wanted to give this gift to her a few days ago, but because he accidentally "made a mistake", he had to give it in this way. However, it was precisely because of this

It's a cute little gift, and her favorability towards her fiancé is also up.

Precisely because of this, it is even more difficult to connect the previous "evil man in black" with his fiancé.

By the way, she was a little curious about what her fiancé looked like.

So, Mrs. Shirakawa found the portraits that the two parties had given each other during their previous engagement, showed them to her daughter, and said -

Just like the portraits given to Uchiha by the Shirakawa clan, the images are for reference only, and everything is subject to the actual object.

Uchiha unfolded the portrait and took a look at it, and found that the man in the portrait was quite... well, with a straight face and a mighty aura. She said without conscience: "Well... he's pretty good-looking... um..." but she thought in her heart,

What's going on? We are all brothers, why is my fiancé's brother so good-looking...

How should I put it, it's a little sad.

And on the other side...

Senju Hashirama also found a way to get the portrait of his daughter painted by the Shirakawa clan. When he unfolded it, it was indeed...well, dignified and beautiful. How should I put it...and the portrait of his wife he got before marriage seemed to be the same.

No difference.

Of course, he also knows that this style of painting is popular nowadays. If everything is based on this, then all men in the world may marry the same women. However, referring to what his friend said to him before, he thinks that his friend’s brother wants to

The wife he married was probably indeed a woman similar to his wife Qianshi.

Then, he excitedly took the portrait to his younger brother Tobirama, and his first words were -

"Tobirama, look! The wife Izuna is going to marry looks like this!"

Senju Tobirama is indeed not a gossip, but... he is indeed subconsciously concerned about things related to his old enemy. So he glanced at his eldest brother, took the portrait, looked down at it, and then commented -

"oh."

Gone.

Otherwise?

He had no other thoughts about such a "standard" portrait at first glance.

"I heard that this girl is beautiful, smart, gentle, virtuous, gentle, and knowledgeable..." After Senju Hashirama rattled off a string of compliments, he looked at his brother expectantly and asked, "Tobirama,

What do you think?"

Senju Tobirama replied again without expression: "Oh."

Senju Hashirama: "..." He asked reluctantly, "Don't you...want to compare?"

Qianju Tobijian raised his eyebrows, and then, without knowing what he thought of, he raised a smile and replied: "I'm sorry, brother, but I really don't like this."

"...What do you like?" Senju Hashirama asked curiously. However, he did not have any expectations for his brother's answer, because many, many years ago, he and his brother had discussed it when they were still young.

On this topic, he still remembers his brother's answer to this day -

"A woman who is good for the family."

...Yes, this is Tobirama's answer.

However……

After thinking about it for a while, Senju Tobirama replied: "It's not that standard."

"...Huh?" Senju Hashirama didn't quite understand for a moment, "What?"

"That is to say," Senju Tobirama explained, "you can be shorter, cuter, more lively, and then..."

"Then?"

"...No, it's nothing." Qianju Tojian chuckled and shook his head.

Senju Hashirama looked at the smile on the corner of his brother's mouth, and his amazing intuition came into play again, and he subconsciously asked: "Tobirama... you don't... already have a girl you like, right?!"

When? Where? Tobirama, how can you carry big brother on your back!!!

Senju Tobirama: "..." Tsk, this is the terrible intuition of the elder brother, but he still corrected it seriously, "No. It's just that I did meet a very interesting girl recently, and I think she is at least better than the pigtailed fiancée.

It’s much more interesting.”

"Oh." Senju Hashirama nodded, and then the next sentence was, "So do you think it would be a good day for me to propose marriage for you? I've been free lately, how about tomorrow?"

Qianju Tojian: "?"

Whenever there is a question mark above his head, it is definitely not something wrong with him, but something wrong with his big brother.

"What about the day after tomorrow?" Senju Hashirama asked, "The day after tomorrow is fine too."

"...Brother, don't make trouble." Qian Shu Feijian replied speechlessly, "I have no intention of saying anything about my eight characters." There is no such thing as wanting to marry someone when you meet them. It's too true.
