[Hokage] I'm Madara Uchiha

The dawn is near, the night is dark, and the morning star in the sky is getting brighter.Before long, the rest of the shrine will rise.Madara didn't want to get into trouble, so she said goodbye to Soga Yunqing to Hashirama and left Akatsuki Shrine.

After they left, the pale gold in Miko's pupils quickly darkened and turned black, returning to Suga Yashi's original pupil color.The body that had been possessed overnight lost its support in an instant, and fell powerlessly on the table.White light particles invisible to ordinary people drifted out from this body, and gathered in the upper midair to form Su Wo Yunqing's original appearance: crimson clothes and plain, glamorous and incomparable.Her soul body is far less thick than before, erratic like a wisp of thin smoke, so fragile that it seems to dissipate at any time.

But she can't care about these for the time being.Familiar fluctuations came from the space, as soft as tides that gradually crept up and spread.Su Wo Yunqing lightly pursed her lips in that direction.

"I'm surprised you came back to see me. According to what you've done in the past, I should have left me to fend for myself."

【Don’t get me wrong~ I just came to see how you died~】

"..." Su Woyunqing was helplessly silent.

[Tsk tsk, I really lost my soul! 】

"I said too much that shouldn't be said and done too much that shouldn't be done. I expected it." Her expression was very calm.

[Death still has the destination of the underworld, if the soul is scattered, there will be nothing left! 】The speaker's words implied malicious provocation, 【You never made it this far, is it worth it? 】

"It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not." Su Woyunqing said indifferently, "I am very relieved to be able to do this for Ah Yun."

【Ha, that kid's luck is really against the sky!Forget it while you’re alive, but you still have to sacrifice for him after so many years of death. 】The words that came were obviously depressed, and then quickly cheered up arrogantly, 【Knowing that you won’t get any return or even see the result, you can still do it without hesitation. Human feelings are so interesting!Su Wo Yunqing, I am more and more interested in you~]

"I regard Ah Yun as my best friend and only family member. The moment I knew the truth, I couldn't let him be in such a state." Su Wo Yunqing's soul became weaker and weaker, and her voice became softer.However, she was in a good mood, and even smiled slightly: "I can see that you are under the control of those two children. You have never been so obedient in front of the Six Paths, and you can control the most cunning you. It seems that they are indeed very good." You have the ability. You and other tailed beasts have an ancient contract with Yu Mingzheng, and you can’t do anything with their blood—under this heavy restriction, you should feel uncomfortable? That child named Uchiha Madara is not as easy-going as A Yun..."

[Meow is so long-winded! 】There was a strong mental shock, and Su Wo Yunqing's soul shook and became blurred. For the first time, an expression called pain appeared on her beautiful face. [I can't stand you!At this time, shouldn't I ask Maomata-sama for help!Cat and adults are omnipotent, meow!I really want to die for holding on to not begging for mercy, you!Which ghost babbles like you before it dies and can't get to the point? ! 】

Following the words came a flash of blue light, and the lightning and lightning quickly swept up the remnant soul, which was almost scattered in smoke, and disappeared.

Madara paused in his footsteps, and looked at Hashirama as if feeling something.

"What's wrong?" Hashirama followed his line of sight and saw Maomata, who was feigning sleep on his shoulder.The cat's beard flicked again, and it shrank back to the shoulder, looking so pitiful.It's a pity that it's hard for Hashirama to feel pity for it now, so he just picked it up and shook the hair and handed it to Madara.

Four paws fluttered in the air, and the cat turned its mosquito-repellent eyes to meet Shangban's indifferent gaze, and suddenly its whole body trembled, feeling that the other party's eyes seemed to see through everything and see through itself up and down.

Maoyou: Why are there tears in my eyes, because I am almost desperate for this blackened world...

Madara looked at it twice, and the corners of her lips curled up a subtle arc. "What happened to Su Wo Yunqing?"

Oh monster!Dare you not to hit the topic right away!The cat covered its face with its paws and moaned depressingly, "It's not dead after all, meow~"

"Sure enough, it has been investigated? Do you care about her very much..." The light and fluffy words made the cat completely silent again, and it was crooked in Hashirama's hand and pretended to be dead.

After receiving so many unimaginable information at once, Hashirama knew that Madara's mood was indescribably complicated.He didn't bother him along the way-what a proud person Uchiha Madara is, not to mention it's not an urgent matter, just wait quietly for him to straighten it out.This is the unique tenderness and tacit understanding between Senshouzhujian.

The sky in the east was dimly lit, and the houses and trees in the town slowly became clear in this faint fish-white, and there were still not many people who woke up.Madara and Hashirama walked on the street, and they could hear the sound of their heavy footsteps.People who live in comfortable and peaceful places generally have a slower pace of life.If it is the Izumo City Muyun City in the Land of Thunder, the street is full of early stalls at this time.But here, the two of them walked all the way from the center of Zhongxiao District to Xiyao District, only to see a breakfast shop that had just opened, and the steamed buns hadn't been basketed yet.

Feeling a little hungry, Madara took out Bingliang Pill, looked at it and put it back again: I can't eat this all the time, it's not good for my stomach.Thinking that he hadn't eaten a serious meal in the past ten days, he couldn't help sighing: "Hashirama, I want to eat your cooking."

"There is no stock in our residence, and the vegetable seller will come out at least an hour later." Hashirama regretted, "I should have prepared it as soon as I came." It was all disturbed by the female ghost, and I didn't have the time to think about it.

... By the way, Hashirama, how do you know the time and place of selling vegetables so clearly? !Didn't you come to the land of soup for two days?Is a ninja and head of a big family really a real man with such a virtuous home? !

"Forget it, let's just settle down." Madara sat down in the shop with Hashirama, and asked the boss to serve two bowls of porridge.There are no side dishes and side dishes, and porridge is also the simplest porridge.The cat moved again and tried to rub against it, but was frozen in place by Madara's cold snort.

Receiving the cat's sad eyes, Hashirama blinked and asked Madara, "Will the tailed beast die if it doesn't eat?"

Madara was stirring the porridge with chopsticks, and white steam came out.Hearing this, he didn't even glance at a certain cat pretending to be pitiful, "I can't die."

"That's good." After Zhujian finished speaking, he grabbed his own bowl.

The cat froze in the air again with its paws ready to move against the bowl of porridge, and stared at Hashirama in disbelief: He...how...how could...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!The warm and bright heart he boasted back then, Senju Bashirama, is definitely not the same guy as the guy in front of him!

"Let's take a rest today and prepare the food pills and water. The underground palace will open at noon tomorrow." Taking advantage of the breakfast break, Madara thought about the next arrangement and informed Hashirama.

Hashirama was thinking about the recipe for noon, nodded when he heard the words, and continued to wander in the book that recorded local special snacks.

Madara waved his hand to disperse the female ghost who came close to him, and undressed all the way to the bathing pool.The negative emotions that he had suppressed forcibly along the way poured out impatiently—he needed a flush to calm down.

For redemption... Anyone who knows that what he has worked so hard to do is just compensation for others will not feel too good.This feeling of fate as if it was pre-set and invisible, and some kind of ominous premonition of "taking water from a bamboo basket" and "making a wedding dress for others", especially his calm heart, couldn't help it. Maliciousness boiled, and the bloody desire to destroy Uchiha in the blood was surging.

Looking down, the blood-red Sharingan reflected on the water.

Atonement?snort!

The sound of the water in the bath gradually died down, and the warm mist cast a thin layer of mist on the door frame.Hashirama gently put down the book in his hand, glanced back in the direction of the bath, got up and walked to Maomata.

The cat was lying on the cushion again, flicking the fur ball, and raised its eyes, "Meow~ what's the matter?"

"The entrance to the Dead Realm is behind the Akatsuki Shrine." Hashirama stared at Maomata's golden pupils and said firmly.

The cat fiddled with the furball's paw again, "...and then?"

"I am the successor of Mudun." Hashirama glanced at it, "I am very sensitive to the energy of life." The basis of Mudun's display is the energy of life, also called positive energy or positive energy.In a world where life can survive, such energies are ubiquitous.Sensing this kind of energy in the area and using it to reduce the loss of one's own chakra is a natural reaction of Mu Dun's cultivation to the extreme.From the moment he arrived at Akatsuki Shrine, he "saw" a dead and silent place that was incompatible with the active life energy of the entire shrine.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"In addition to the energy of life and the entrance to the dead world, I also saw a very... chaotic place." Thinking back, Hashirama frowned slightly, "The gray breath makes people dizzy, and the intricate lines are entangled and strangled... ..." The description is very abstract, but the cat understands it again, "In short, it's not like the living world, nor is it completely dead. I can't get close to it, I can only feel danger—very dangerous." The gentle aura around him froze. Usually, the dark eyes are calm and dark, but the oppression in the depths makes the cat flinch again. Looking at it again, it seems to be his own illusion?

"I don't care what purpose you have for him. Regarding tomorrow's matter, I only have one sentence: Is the situation that arises within the scope of our strength?"

Life and death are major matters involving rules. No matter how strong he is, he can't guarantee that Madara and himself can escape unscathed. After all, they are still mortals and cannot escape the fate of life and death.If it wasn't for Madara, he probably wouldn't get involved in this kind of space secrets in his life-life is short and there are too many things to do.

What's more terrible is that what Su Wo Yunqing said did not match what he found out. He didn't fully understand what happened to Yu Mingzheng, so he couldn't judge whether it was an intelligence error or something deeper.

"Ah, what a difficult question to answer!" Mao You scratched his chin with his paw, and smiled slyly, "Let's put it this way, he will be fine, and you may not be fine, meow~"

Thinking about it, no matter how harsh Yu Mingzheng's so-called test is, it is impossible to finish off the life of his descendant Jingui.Hashirama felt relieved, not worried at all about the "threat" in the second part of Mao Mata's sentence.The cat looked at his restored face again, "Worried about that cunning bastard? Why don't you ask him directly about these things?"

Zhujian hesitated and said: "After all, it is his family's business..." He can ask questions about personal matters without any consideration, but once the family is involved, Senshou Zhujian, the head of the big family, will think too much.Once the relationship is too involved with interests, it is very likely to be broken, and he can't help but hesitate and be cautious about it.

The cat raised its paw again, put it down, raised it again, and finally let out a long sigh, only wishing that the paw could not reach the back of the head so that it could scratch it!It has been with Madara for a long time, so it naturally knows that the bastard has similar concerns.These two... these two... it doesn't know what to say!Why is it that the smart bastards are short-circuited at this time?Stupid couple!Love idiots!Then he thought of the soul of the witch who would rather die than ask for help in the morning, and the cat became depressed and irritable again. "Are all human beings so troublesome! Rory is not straightforward at all! The things you always face are just for hiding, you bastard! Meow! Who will know if you don't tell me! When all human beings You can read minds like Mr. Maoyou! You two awkward bastards, it’s serious to break up quickly! Stop harassing Mr. Maoyou, meow!"

Break up, break up, break up!The cat chattered furiously again.Instead of being angry, Hashirama smiled, very easily. "Well, you're right!"

The cat was dumbfounded and watched him leave again, hey hey!Really ready to break up? ——The cat that reacted rolled and scrambled to follow: No, don't!If the cold-blooded and black-bellied scum master knew that I provoked me, I would be worse off than die!

Putting aside the incomprehensible theories about atonement, and the morality of his ancestors who are comparable to the rebirth of the Holy Father, the reincarnation of Jesus—absolutely no derogatory meaning—Madara’s thoughts escaped from the historical stories that seemed to be myths, and returned to normal tactics In the thinking circuit of contending for hegemony.

Su Wo Yunqing doesn't know the exact location of the imperial tomb, because the "imperial tomb" is not a physical building, but a unique space between the worlds of life and death.But she told Madara three ways to enter the imperial mausoleum: one is to find the underground palace, and you can enter after passing the test; Yu Mingzheng's bloodline.If he wanted to go in with Zhujian, he could only take the road of the underground palace.Of course, the simplest and most brutal way is to gather all the power of the Tailed Beast and directly break through the shackles of space. Considering that this method is too destructive, it is best not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

The so-called riddle pointing to the location of the underground palace also points to a place to escape.Although opening the underground palace "needs to open four institutions at the same time", the "Escaped One" is the core of this formation covering the continent.For thousands of years, this huge and hidden formation has been operating all the time, and the entrance to the so-called underground palace—or the imperial tomb—has been changing all the time.Thinking of this, Madara sneered in his heart.He didn't believe that a soul who had been dead for more than 500 years and couldn't even cross the Yinchi—that is, the border of Tang Kingdom—could find such secret information.In other words, there is likely to be another...

Things are getting more and more complicated.

He keenly sensed some unusual meanings, which were not obvious on the freckled face, but his mind turned back and forth, and finally turned into a shallow sigh.So what?Knowing that there is a problem, he can't help but jump down: time is running out, he can afford to wait, and the people behind him can't wait.Once on this road, there is no turning back.If you tell Hashirama your hunch, it will be useless except to make one more person worry.

It’s natural to go straight when the boat arrives at the bridge—it’s the first time for Madara, who is used to taking things under control and has always sneered at such proverbs, to comfort herself: Life should require a little stimulation and challenges in addition to layout and arrangement, doesn’t it…

...isn't it...

...isn't it...

...not a ghost!Let me know who is plotting behind my back, I absolutely want him to look good!Rubbing her aching temple, Madara gritted her teeth and thought!

A faint figure appeared outside the door, accompanied by a young man's slightly deep voice, "Madara."

Between the pillars?Madara cleared up her negative emotions in an instant, and her voice was as calm as ever: "What's the matter?"

"Let's talk about it after we come out." With his hand resting on the door frame, the leaking moisture wetted his fingertips, and the last trace of hesitation in Hashirama's heart disappeared after the words came out.He pursed his lips and made up his mind: what should be solved should be solved, and silent concession is not a long-term solution.

Hearing this, Madara stood up directly from the bathtub, wrapped herself in a piece of clothing and opened the door regardless of her nakedness.Seeing his water-stained smudged white cotton bathrobe, and the fact that his skin was fairer than that of ordinary men looming, Hashirama turned his face slightly unnaturally.

"Let's talk." Madara said as he walked towards the main hall.Both he and Zhujian are people who don't talk too much about anything, so it should be something important to come here at this time. —but this time he guessed wrong.
