UK:GSW Chapter 457 – Senju Tobirama Has No Intention of Managing His Big Brother, Because Everyone's Having Fun
Hashirama No.2 really wanted to meet Muzi.
Desperately so.
After all, meeting one's own reincarnation was far too strange and outrageous. For someone like Senju Hashirama, it was even more intriguing than meeting another version of himself.
So yes—Hashirama No.2 wanted very much to meet Muzi.
For Uchiha Madara, this was without a doubt a highly awkward situation—and one that made him sweat even more.
But could Madara refuse?
Especially with Muzi already sending him a barrage of friend messages asking questions, he felt like he could no longer hold the situation back.
In the end, Madara finally sent Muzi a reply, explaining that an old friend had just returned from completing a mission, and that he'd been spending more time playing illusion games with that friend lately—hence why he'd been less available to play with her.
Then, under Hashirama No.2's eager gaze, Madara gritted his teeth and sent another message:
"So, Muzi… would you like to meet my friend? He's also very much looking forward to meeting you."
Madara had carefully weighed his words before sending them, which showed just how cautious he was being.
There was no helping it—the way things were unfolding had completely entered Madara's "knowledge blind spot." It was utterly unfamiliar territory, and even he didn't understand why he was feeling such an intense, instinctive nervousness.
I've lived this long—what haven't I seen?
…Well, this. Definitely not this.
So even though Madara outwardly maintained his aloof, proud demeanor, his inner self was already on the verge of screaming like a panicked little man.
Without a doubt, this put more pressure on him than even that time, as a boy, when his friendship with Hashirama was discovered by his clan and they "caught him in the act."
All Madara could think was—this development was too advanced, so advanced that even old Madara felt he couldn't hold it together.
And sure enough, Muzi's next message said she was very eager to meet "Radama-senpai's" friend—and she couldn't wait. Why put it off? Best to meet today, in fact—right now would be perfect.
In other words: impatient, immediate, now.
This instantly cranked Madara's pressure up another level. If they weren't inside the illusion game world, he'd probably already be sweating bullets.
Without question, this was more terrifying to him than anything he'd faced before. A true, ultimate horror story.
Unfortunately for him, no amount of reluctance could change things now. The trial was upon him—and behind it all was another instigator.
Yes—Uzumaki Kenshin. Disguised as someone else, the Uzumaki princess herself was eagerly anticipating this "online meetup" scenario. She was positively thrilled at the idea, to the point she could hardly wait.
Some say everyone has an inner "agent of chaos." The only question is whether they let it out.
And in this case, that chaotic streak had been well-nurtured in Uzumaki Mito over time.
After all, watching her husband turn into a long-haired, youthful, energetic beauty who spent every day hanging out with an old man was already abstract enough. Turning into a handsome young man herself and joining in made it even more absurd.
Within this absurdity, it wasn't strange at all for Uzumaki Mito to develop unusual hobbies.
You could say she was simply a "good-natured agent of chaos."
Now—how did another potential "family member," Senju Tobirama, feel about all this?
The answer…
Senju Tobirama: "What? Big brother? What's he got to do with me? He's having fun—why would I need to interfere?"
"Besides, I'm busy studying and researching. I don't have time to deal with his nonsense. So please don't bother me—I'm very busy."
That was the shared sentiment of both Tobiramas. Neither had the slightest interest in meddling in their big brother's business.
Rather than fuss over Hashirama's affairs, the two Tobiramas preferred to work together and steadily advance their joint research projects.
For hobbies: Tobirama No.2 enjoyed deep learning in his study space, while the main-world Tobirama spent time in the illusion world with the Fire Keeper, studying in her company.
Yes—with the Fire Keeper's companionship, main-world Tobirama declared himself truly happy.
Big brother?
Sorry—don't know him.
Of course, when acting outside, main-world Tobirama moved in the form of a white-haired, red-eyed beauty. For good measure, she even had an official Hidden Leaf identity like Muzi's.
Her official female alias was simply "Chiko," a name she'd used before—a perfect match with her "big sister" Muzi, and likewise the descendant of a Senju who had abandoned the clan name to merge into the Hidden Leaf.
As a side note: the first time Tobirama No.2 saw the white-haired, red-eyed beauty version of "himself," he was utterly stunned. His mind instantly entered "The Thinker" mode, flooded with swirling concepts and formulas.
Fortunately, Tobirama was quick to adapt. Even if his counterpart was a woman, it was only natural—this was a parallel world. Differences were to be expected.
But when he learned that Chiko, like him, was actually an old white-haired man inside… Tobirama No.2 fell silent, brain once again entering deep contemplation—even more intense than before.
In the end, he accepted it with a kind of serenity—his mindset best summed up as, "I don't get it, but I'm deeply impressed and I respect it."
This was the journey of Tobirama No.2's thoughts, and he could only express respect.
For him, life now was fulfilling and happy—a researcher's joy, the pursuit of truth, endless knowledge and beauty ahead. He couldn't stop.
Even if this all came from those "inherently evil" Uchiha—well, these were from another world, so there was no need to dwell on that.
Besides, look at what the Uchiha of this world had made of the Hidden Leaf—they had fully integrated into it. To keep calling them "inherently evil" would be ignorant.
So Tobirama No.2 was relaxed. As long as he maintained his happy life and completed his assigned tasks, there was no need to overthink anything. Both Hidden Leafs now had their own leaders—no need for an old relic who'd already been buried once to worry.
If his other self didn't mind turning into a woman, why should he waste energy worrying?
Happiness—that was all that mattered.
Look at how happy his big brother was every day, playing with Uchiha Madara.
Oh, and for the record—Tobirama No.2 could accept this because it was the main-world Uchiha Madara, not the one from his world.
Same name or not, because it wasn't his world's Madara, it didn't trigger the same irritation.
If it had been, his attitude would be completely different.
In short—Tobirama No.2 was rational, but also subjective.
He often quietly mocked the Madara of his world—mocking how that fool let Black Zetsu manipulate him into a pile of disastrous decisions, to the point where no one in either world's new generation even wanted to revive him.
Main-world Madara, on the other hand, had been lucky—getting distracted by illusion games before committing those blunders, hiding under the Hidden Leaf, and setting off all the unexpected twists that followed—instead of walking a dark path with no way back.
Just thinking about this gave Tobirama No.2 the same satisfaction as chugging a huge swig of ice-cold cola on a sweltering summer day.
On that thought, Tobirama No.2 couldn't help pulling out a bottle of cola, taking a deep drink, and letting out a satisfied burp.
Yes—life was getting better and better.
Meanwhile, as Tobirama No.2 and Chiko immersed themselves in the vast ocean of research and study, on the other side, Uchiha Madara had already brought Hashirama No.2 into the game Homeland to meet Muzi and Uzumaki Mito.
The moment they met, Hashirama No.2, unleashing his cheerful social energy, beamed and waved:
"Hahahaha~~ Hello to you both! You must be Miss Muzi and young Kenshin that Radama mentioned, right? Pleased to meet you! I'm Big Pillar, Radama's friend—happy to make your acquaintance!"
The nickname "Radama" was Madara's chosen alias—his real name was too sensitive to reveal.
As for "Uzumaki Kenshin," Madara didn't like this fiancé of Muzi's, but he knew and accepted that Kenshin stuck to her like glue, so he'd mentioned him beforehand.
The name "Big Pillar" came from Uchiha Kei—it was a suggestion to Hashirama No.2 when he first learned illusion games and asked Kei for a good online name.
Just like how, in the main world, Senju Hashirama had once asked Kei what username to use—and been told "Muzi"—this time, with "Muzi" taken, Kei used the nickname that Naruto fans in his previous life often used for Hashirama.
It might have seemed lazy to ninja-world people, but Hashirama No.2 liked it.
He wasn't into flashy nonsense—just as his Wood Release, despite seeming varied, was fundamentally about simple combinations of power, defense, speed, and control.
Once he understood that an illusion game nickname was just an online handle, he went with something simple and friendly.
Thus "Big Pillar" was born—unique enough that no one else had claimed it.
Back to the present—Hashirama No.2 introduced himself with enthusiastic warmth.
Madara, as usual, stood aloof, looking like the cool, detached one—but inside he was nervous. He'd planned to handle introductions himself, but Hashirama's eagerness had made that impossible, forcing him to rethink his words.
This showed just how bewildered he really was—so much so that even a simple introduction had to be re-planned.
But before Madara could say anything, Muzi cheerfully stepped forward, pulling Uzumaki Kenshin along, greeting Hashirama No.2 with bright, energetic friendliness—as if she'd never been upset before.
Seeing everyone get along, Madara breathed a sigh of relief, his pressure easing, and his own initiative awakening. He quickly suggested they all play The Last Ninja in online mode.
No one refused. Muzi and Hashirama No.2 were even visibly excited.
Only Uzumaki Kenshin seemed a little disappointed—there wasn't as much drama as he'd hoped.
Yes—a chaos-seeker without chaos to watch is bound to be disappointed.
And Kenshin understood why Muzi was so friendly—because this other Hashirama's sheer warmth made it impossible for her to reject him.
At the end of the day, he was still Senju Hashirama—the reincarnation of Asura's chakra.
Could anyone really expect such a person to instantly turn hostile and start scheming? That was to misunderstand Hashirama entirely.
Or perhaps… to overestimate him.
Soon after, the four of them teamed up in The Last Ninja's online mode, loading into the game map.
Hashirama No.2 immediately suggested they take on a quest in the city that involved arson, murder, looting—the whole villain package.
Madara wasn't surprised—he was used to it. Muzi and Kenshin, however, looked a little stunned. They'd never imagined Hashirama would want to be a full-on villain right from the start—it didn't match their expectations at all.
But after a moment's surprise, Muzi's eyes lit up—her eagerness bubbling to the surface.
Clearly, this was something she'd always wanted to do but had refrained from out of caution. Her thought must have been—"As expected of me—he wants to do exactly what I've always wanted to do."
