[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

Uchiha Madara returned to the clan when the night was dark.

In the Warring States Period, for ninjas who had no national affiliation and only acted as a unit of "clan", it was very important not to reveal their surnames when they acted alone. One of the rules of survival, these cruel rules are deeply imprinted in the hearts of ninjas who were born in troubled times and survived to this day.

Uchiha Madara hates this, but he, who has been deprived of his loved ones by war, understands better than anyone else that as long as the world does not change its ferocious and bloody face, the wounds in people's hearts, and the resulting death and life Misfortune cannot be changed for a day.

The Uchiha people guarding the entrance of the clan site noticed the return of Madara and his team from a long distance. It didn't take long for this team of Uchiha's elite ninjas to appear quietly, and Uchiha Madara, the leader, walked on In front of him, the chill has not dissipated.

"No attrition."

he said succinctly.

"How is the situation with father and Quanna?"

"The patriarch's team has just arrived. Regarding the casualties..."

The young guard showed a little unbearable expression.

"The numbers haven't decreased, but there have been serious injuries."

Madara didn't stay here any longer, he launched the teleportation technique, like a cold, black wind, across the woods used for concealment, and then passed through the buildings of the clan, in the core area that was divided into the residence of the head of the Uchiha clan stopped.

"spot."

His father, Uchiha Tajima, seemed to have expected his arrival. Unsurprisingly, he was the first to care about the situation on the battlefield where Madara was.

"How about the task?"

"The commission has been completed." He said, "The other party hired ninjas from the Senju school, but the actual number of people who belonged to Senju was only a small number... I didn't meet Senju Buddha and Hashirama."

Uchiha Tajima nodded, but couldn't see any satisfaction.

"As long as one side hires Uchiha, the other side will definitely choose Senju, and vice versa...Even if we don't take the initiative to make enemies with Senju, it won't help."

Tajima said calmly and coldly.

"Not to mention that whether it's Senshou or Uchiha, their hands are covered with the blood of the other party's family members and relatives—— Madara, do you understand?"

Madara was silent for a while, he had more concerns now, and he was unwilling to continue this topic with his father.

"Father, how is Quanna?"

"...Senna is fine."

Uchiha Tajima frowned, looking displeased with Madara's response, but answered him anyway.

"He took the seriously injured to Cheng's place."

Madara nodded to his father and left.

The Uchiha clan, known for their military strength, still has differences in strength among individuals—including unborn geniuses like Madara and Quanna, and ordinary ninjas who are limited by their aptitude and cannot step into the realm of the strong in their entire lives.

However, Cheng seems to be one of them who is particularly unfavorable.

She is the younger sister of Uchiha Tajima and the child of the collateral Uchiha. When she was conceived, her mother was injured on the battlefield. Later, Cheng was congenitally weak and could hardly practice physical skills and aggressive endurance. It is undoubtedly a very unfortunate thing that the Uchiha family, who was born in troubled times, was cut off from the possibility of being strong early.

Tajima, who had already lost two sons at the time, asserted to her sister: "She will die soon."

Soon, her husband was also killed by the endless struggle, and later, death finally came to the last of Tajima's compatriots.

Finally, Tajima promised her: "I will take good care of Cheng, and she will be my child."

Madara still remembers the scene at that time.

Tajima has no brothers who survive to adulthood, just like Madara has only one Izuna.

Uchiha Tajima buried his five sons, but it was the first time that Madara saw his father say goodbye to his closest relatives.

It's probably not that I didn't hate my father for sending his young children to the battlefield.

Madara thought.

However, after witnessing Tajima's farewell to his sister and vowing to protect his only younger brother, Quanna, he resonated with his father for the first time and deeply felt his grief.

From today on, my father no longer has anyone who can support and rely on each other.

Madara, who was kneeling beside his father, thought of Quanna, and then, he couldn't help but look at another person who had lost everything.

That little girl is much younger than Madara, because of her body, she looks smaller and weaker than other children of the same age.

To Madara's surprise, she didn't cry.

To this day, he still doesn't know how to describe the look in Cheng's eyes at that time... She was sad, but her sadness was too pure - she was not suffering for her own loss, nor was she afraid of her own future. All her grief was devoted to her dying relatives.

Madara saw that at some point, Quanna who was beside her quietly held the girl's hand, but Cheng broke free lightly, then bent down and kissed her mother's forehead.

As if being appeased by the last blessing in the world, the kissed person showed a very shallow smile and stopped breathing.

The little girl handed her hand to Quanna beside her, Quanna held it without hesitation, Madara watched quietly, and then, probably from this moment on——

His ideals took on a sharper outline and shape.

It would be great if this world would not make children like them sad anymore. It all started, probably because Madara, who was afraid of becoming alone, met Cheng who was alone.

Chakra is the unique energy of this world, and ninjutsu is the most common. Cheng was very curious about the way of using chakra, so when he confirmed that his body could not even withstand Uchiha's basic fire escape ninjutsu Cheng couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Fortunately, later, she gradually explored the working principle of Chakra, and found that even if ninjutsu is not used as a carrier, Chakra can be directly used as an amplifier of its own healing properties.

Tajima, who discovered that Chung had a talent for medical ninja, tried to teach her medical ninjutsu... It turns out that this is indeed where Chung's talent lies.

This is really good news for the Uchihas who are all attacking types and have their own expertise in the field of ninja genjutsu, but who have been blank in the medical department for a long time.

After the treatment, the wounded who was tortured by intense pain gradually calmed down.

"It's not that easy to recover, but it's not life-threatening." Cheng whispered to him, "Don't worry."

Uchiha Quanna, who was standing by, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Great."

Cheng pursed his lips and smiled, and then planned to stand up, but was a little weak due to the long-term high-intensity chakra output. Quan Nai supported her, and took Cheng's hand out of the treatment room.

"Izuna, I want to see your eyes."

Cheng tugged on his sleeve.

"It doesn't matter to me..."

After meeting Cheng's gaze, Quan Nai knew that she might not be able to beat Cheng.

"Ok."

He sat down against the wall, and Cheng knelt in front of Quanna, raised his face, and the two looked closely into each other's eyes.Cheng blinked first, and a gou jade appeared in her eyes that were instantly dyed red. Quan Nai then opened the three gou jade writing sharing eyes. Cheng carefully observed the flow and direction of chakra around the opponent's eyes, and then put it down. Heart.

"no problem."

"I told you so."

They put away Sharingan one after another.

"Quenna, if you and Madara both like to mess around..."

Cheng poked Quanna's shoulder angrily.

"Cheng, you are too strict."

He was obviously not intimidated by anything, and he grabbed Cheng's finger with a smile.

"Also, as I said, you have to be called brother..."

"Izuna, I'm not a child."

Cheng looked at him seriously, Quanna was slightly taken aback, unconsciously attracted by her gaze.

she says.

"You don't have to treat me like a child."

"...you are my sister."

He retorted subconsciously, and after he realized it, he still couldn't help softening his tone.

"Rely on me a little more, Cheng."

Quan Nai suddenly remembered another matter, so this topic was gently covered again.

"correct……"

He took out an object from his bosom, put it in Cheng's hand, and let her go.

"I got it from a merchant in the Land of Fire."

What fell into Cheng's hands was a box of candy.

According to the current productivity, this kind of candy will not be an exquisite sweet, but the small wooden box painted with pictures of flowers, birds and animals is very beautiful. Cheng holds it in his hand and looks at the painting on the surface of the box against the light. , slightly rough-textured paints have a barren aesthetic.

"I like this."

When the girl laughed, her eyes were like crescent moons. Just looking at her like this made one's heart soften.

"I have to go to my father."

He stood up, stroked the girl's hair, Cheng was still looking at the candy box in his hand, and responded lightly.

Quanna left the inner room and bumped into Madara head-on in the corridor.

"elder brother?"

He called out to him in surprise, and then took a rough look at the other party.Uchiha Madara took off his outer armor and long sword, and only wore a black kimono, which didn't look like he had just arrived.

"Are you alright, Senna?"

"There was an ambush, but the situation of the most seriously injured person has been brought under control..."

Madara listened silently, and Quanna continued.

"Is my brother here to see Cheng? She's inside - I'm going to find my father first."

Madara nodded invisibly, and the two brothers walked away separately.

When Cheng heard the sound of pulling the door, she thought it was Quanna who turned back, but when she raised her head, it was not him.

"Madara, you're back."

Cheng looked a little happy, and patted the place beside him.

"come here."

Madara's name as a strong man had already become famous in the ninja world at that time. He was a terrifying ninja who would bring overwhelming power to the enemy just by standing on the battlefield. The breath reminiscent of blood and blades is well restrained.

After Madara sat down, Cheng put away the candy box and moved closer to Madara. Compared to her size, Madara seemed to be a bit taller. She had to straighten her waist to get close enough to see the other person's eyes clearly.

Madara wrapped her arms around her waist, lifted her up, and let Cheng Ban kneel on his knees.

Cheng seemed to be taken aback, but she soon realized that this posture was indeed much easier, Ban Wei raised her head to look at her, activated the third-level Sharingan, Cheng held his face, and lightly brushed his thumb with his corner of eye.

"...Madara," she said, "did you keep your eyes open during the three days you left?"

Madara didn't deny it, and clarified what he meant.

"I know what you think, and I can't be too vigilant during the mission, but—"

"Cheng, I'm strong."

"Even so..."

"Also, if I don't come back here, I can't rest assured."

"..."

Until hearing this sentence, Cheng's eyelashes trembled, and her expression softened, Madara knew that this meant she accepted her explanation.

This is a very strange thing.

In such a world, how can anyone feel that power itself is not convincing enough, but care about those feelings that everyone suppresses deep in their bodies when they are alive, and turn into nothingness after death.

She wasn't ignorant of cruelty—in fact, most people in this world didn't have that luxury—yet Madara guessed that the distance from the frontal battle probably affected her a little.

Because, if she had ever stood on the same battlefield as herself, Cheng would understand how powerful this man called "Uchiha Madara" was in front of her... Then, she would also understand most of the worries about him, It's not as... necessary as she thinks.

……is that so?

Madara actually knew the answer in his heart.

It is Uchiha Madara himself who has promoted the current situation and indulged in it.

He and Quanna, and perhaps others, are probably looking for something in her, something that shouldn't exist in this era, something that neither of them had.

"Have you slept in the past few days, Madara?"

Madara snapped out of her own thoughts when her voice rang in his ears.

"……No."

"Uncle Tajima is going to hold a family meeting today. Before it starts, you should rest here."

After finishing speaking, Cheng in his arms pushed him, Madara let go, the girl withdrew from his embrace, pulled his arm, Madara followed her strength and approached her, followed her wishes, and pillowed on the girl's lap superior.

Madara looked at her fingertips, then at the unrolled kimono sleeves, and his gaze followed the pattern of sprigs of flowers creeping from the cuffs to the flowers blooming on her shoulders.

His gaze continued to move upward.

Like many Uchihas, the girl has fair skin and black hair, and the little skin that is exposed at the neck is bright and eye-catching, and it also looks more fragile.

Madara was looking for a certain quality in her, and at the same time, he also faintly realized something.

This quality is not tolerated in this world.

It doesn't matter if it's an empirical judgment, or a simple hunch... Madara thinks that she is not suitable to live in such a world, and perhaps in the not-too-distant future, she will eventually—

...will not let you die.

So he said to himself.

I will protect her.

Cheng lowered his head and met his gaze.

"Madara, do you think it's better for me to call you brother?"

Uchiha Madara heard her ask herself.

"As you like." Madara replied, "You are you, I am me, and this will not change with the title."

"makes sense."

Cheng smiled, and gently covered Madara's eyes with her hand.

"Sleep, Madara."

Madara closed her eyes.

"it is good."
