Free Web NovelChapter 770: Chapter 8: Tobirama: I Have Always Been Protecting You, Izuna...
Tobirama’s words left everyone in the valley utterly stunned.
Every face carried an expression of disbelief, whether it was Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, or the hundreds of elite Uchiha preparing to seal the road...
Just like Uchiha Izuna.
They were in complete bewilderment... Senju Tobirama said he would marry Uchiha Izuna if he won?
Isn’t this somewhat...
A bit too shocking!
"What... what did you say?"
For a moment, Uchiha Izuna thought she had fallen under a high-level Genjutsu, one that even her Mangekyo Sharingan couldn’t dispel...
"Say it again?!" Uchiha Izuna raised her blade, pointing it directly at Tobirama’s neck, her delicate face flushed with anger.
Damn Senju Tobirama, insulting her like this!
At this moment, Uchiha Izuna’s impression of Tobirama plummeted rapidly!
Uchiha Izuna simply couldn’t believe that Senju Tobirama could harbor such thoughts about her... From a young age, the two of them had always been in a state of endless rivalry!
It’s safe to say that on the battlefield between the Senju and the Uchiha, Tobirama and Izuna rarely fought anyone else; they’d always clash directly, never reaching a decisive outcome all these years.
Both wished for the other to drop dead at any moment...
So, to Uchiha Izuna, Senju Tobirama’s words sounded like vile mockery! He was both mocking her for never marrying and insinuating he would dominate her...
"I said, if I lose, I would agree for the Senju Clan to become a vassal of the Uchiha Clan to form an alliance..."
Tobirama shook his head, speaking sincerely, word by word: "If I win, then you will marry me..."
"Perhaps you misunderstood, I’m serious."
Before Uchiha Izuna could erupt, Tobirama timely continued:
"You heard it too... this idea of an alliance is something both Hashirama and I agree upon... The chaotic Warring States Era has already caused severe harm to the clansmen of the Senju and Uchiha. If this continues, even if our two clans manage to distinguish a victor, both will be severely weakened..."
"At that time, even the winning side between the Senju and Uchiha will find it difficult to face the challenges from other ninja clans, leading to further casualties among our clansmen..."
Tobirama slowly said, "But what if we form an alliance?"
"By uniting the forces of the Uchiha and Senju, I don’t believe any ninja clan could resist our alliance... We could swiftly subdue other ninja clans, even forcing them to surrender just by our momentum if necessary... Once this snowball starts rolling, the chaotic era, which seems to last indefinitely, could be brought to peace before long."
Uchiha Izuna furrowed her beautiful brow, her heart in turmoil.
She realized an astonishing problem...
Senju Tobirama didn’t seem to be proposing to humiliate her as she initially thought?
So, in other words...
This white-haired man before her really intends to marry her!
Is it true?!
"And forming an alliance is not that simple... You know, because of historical issues, the Senju and Uchiha clans have been in constant conflict for centuries, with each generation of clan leaders inheriting this hatred, and leading their clans in constant battles..."
Tobirama watched Izuna’s reaction intently, smiling inwardly while maintaining an extremely serious demeanor: "But in our generation, there’s a chance for change..."
"The two clan leaders of Senju and Uchiha, they were childhood friends from the start! So, it’s high time to end this meaningless internal strife between the Senju and Uchiha!"
"And the hatred born from past wars should not be ignored; we need a foundation upon which both clans can begin to understand one another... I believe that our marriage could serve as the strongest testament to our commitment to this alliance for both of our clans!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
You have to admit, you really can’t deny...
Despite the various grievances between the Senju and Uchiha,
If Tobirama and Izuna, as the young leaders of both clans, were to marry, it would indeed be an unassailable source of trust.
With the two of them together, others might also begin to learn how to let go.
"Hahaha..." Uchiha Izuna laughed coldly, forcibly suppressing the chaos in her heart along with a multitude of complex emotions, she retorted, rather unfriendly:
"What a joke, Senju Tobirama... My marriage is not a tool for peace! The Uchiha Clan can conquer any enemy, and forge peace with their fists!"
"I’m sorry, I didn’t completely express myself earlier..." Senju Tobirama apologized astonishingly to Uchiha Izuna, causing the beautiful Uchiha’s pupils to quake instantly!
These two had been clashing since they were old enough to walk, saying all sorts of unsavory things to each other...
But they had never apologized!
"Apart from the interests between our two clans..."
"Personally, I truly wish to marry you." Tobirama gazed at Uchiha Izuna’s face, saying with a light smile: freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"And, I’m not trying to force you into an inferior marriage. If you agree, I can mobilize as many resources from the Senju Clan as a dowry, and invite you to be my wife with the grandest gesture..."
Tobirama keenly sensed the previous discomfort in Uchiha Izuna’s heart.
Indeed, as a powerful individual, constantly focusing on clan interests in a marriage proposal can evoke a sense of sacrificing oneself as a tool.
