Your lunch is mine

"Blue...blue?"

Quan Nai couldn't stop chanting, the voice was gradually inaudible, and the voice that only he could hear was full of absurdity.

"Alternative... clothing..."

It's ridiculous, isn't it?

The so-called blue coffin, the blue flowers of hope, and even the so-called blue clothes in the end.

He thought it was him.

But what she was talking about was not his funeral at all, not his Uchiha Izuna's funeral at all.

But... Aoi's own.

—was her own.

"I actually..."

He didn't notice it, and didn't even notice a trace of abnormality.

Is he too remiss?If not, how did it become like this?

What he regrets, what he wants to protect, what he insists on, has not wavered until the end, and is even proud of it.

Those persistence, all the persistence, until now, tell him that the one who is really protected is himself.

It was himself, it was Uchiha Izumi, not Aoi.

Ridiculous, too ridiculous, this is too ridiculous!How could there be such absurd things in the world?

...he didn't believe it.

He doesn't believe it! ! !

"Boom boom boom——"

"Master Quanna."

Outside the door is the voice of a subordinate.

"Master Madara has awakened."

The room was as quiet as ever, as if there was no one there, and the guard waited respectfully at the door. After a while, the door was opened, and a figure walked out of it, and it disappeared after a while.

Quan Nai didn't know what mood he was in right now, he had to go and see when his brother woke up, but... how would he explain it to the other party?

The originally fast footsteps became slow as they approached the room, and the closer they got, the slower they became.

In the end, he stopped at the door, his eyes fixed on the wooden grain of the door, and he remained silent.

Uchiha Izuna's life, Aoi's life.

He knew that, in fact, the other clansmen were glad and excited about his resurrection.

In other people's minds, Uchiha Quanna's life is more important than Aoi's. One is the patriarch's younger brother, who led Uchiha to fight with the patriarch, and the other... just came to Uchiha's house since childhood.

Even, her full name is Yuyi.

——The feather sunflower.

For Uchiha, there is no need to choose which is more important.

But in this way, the weight of evaluating who is more important should be the person concerned.

In Quan Nai's eyes, they are not equal at all.

The important one, was never...never was Uchiha Izumi.

He... has experienced too much, even if there are regrets, there are many regrets, but so what?

He tried his best, even if it was the ending of death, he never felt any resentment, it was just the ending, and it was something he should bear by himself.

What he should bear, not for him....

—he didn't agree at all.

The hand hanging by his side was gradually clenched, and the slight pain could not even attract his attention, but at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded through a door.

"Senna, come in."

Quan Nai was startled, opened the door silently, and walked into the room.

Madara was already sitting on the tatami mat. Eye replacement surgery is not a trivial matter, not to mention the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and the person to be replaced is still the patriarch. Even if there is medical ninjutsu, at least for a short period of time, it still needs to be covered. observe.

Therefore, his eyes were still covered with white gauze.

"elder brother……"

Quan Nai opened her mouth, but she couldn't squeeze out too many words in her dry throat, so she could only lower her eyes and say a short sentence in a soft voice.

"Aoi...is missing."

Yes, just missing.

Even if no one was found, how can it be said that it is... that it is...

Quan Nai lowered her head, and the note in her hand became more creased. Every crease passing by those words seemed to be distorting them. It seemed that as long as such traces increased, the meaning of these words would become completely opposite. look.

Self-deception.

The room fell silent for a while, neither of the two of them spoke again, and even the sound of breathing was barely audible.

Suddenly, Madara's voice sounded.

"That note, show me."

Quan Nai raised his head, seeing Madara's still red eyes, the gauze that was taken off in advance caused his eyes to be suddenly dazzled by the light from the outside world, he squinted slightly, as if there was still a trace of moisture from the shake.

Was it dazzled by the light...?

Quan Na subconsciously squeezed the note in her hand, then relaxed her strength the next moment, and slowly handed it to Madara.

Madara took it, and there were two sentences on it.

[Peace at an early date, don't miss me. ]

[Put blue clothes in the tomb. ]

The giver, the given; the saver, the saved; the protector, and the protected.

It was no longer possible to tell who was which character. He stared at the note, but felt that no matter which one he was, he seemed to be quite disqualified.

As an older brother, he couldn't protect his younger brother at first.

Now, he is unable to protect his sister.

The powerlessness of losing a father, the powerlessness of losing a brother, and now... the powerlessness.

The eyes not long after the operation are not suitable for excessive use, but Liao Madara just stared at the note, remained silent, and returned it to Quanna.

He always seemed to be spending time between gain and loss, obviously this is the normal state of this era, but this time, this time, he had a strange feeling that time was speeding up as if in a dream.

But this is reality, and reality is far colder and crueler than dreams.

Madara raised his head and stared at his younger brother seriously.

Contrary to the weakness before the early morning, it couldn't be healthier, even if the complexion is definitely not good, but it's still...alive.

The man who came back from the dead.

Disappeared... people.

Related to him, not related to him; closely related to him, related to him...

with him……

What else?

Madara thinks.

Is it because he is doomed to lose?

If he was the one who died, Madara would not be surprised that Aoi would do the same.So, what was it that took Aoi's life?

Is it him, or Qianshoubeijian, or this——era.

"elder brother."

The gauze pushed to the forehead fell down here, and Madara heard Senna's voice in the darkness.

It was like feathers floating in the air, but it had a completely different muffled tone.

"I can't... be happy."

To this regained life.

"We can look for it again."

Quan Na held the note and said something that went against reason.

"Maybe Aoi just... left, she is actually still alive, I..."

"Quinai."

Experienced... No one knows Aoi better than him, even Quanna, and because of this, he knows and understands better.

He also has to be more sensible.

It seems that the two people's daily thinking is completely reversed, the most rational one does not want to believe in reason, and the more intuitive one is so rational that it is cruel.

Madara was silent, and said a word, revealing the cruelty of the dust.

"Prepare for the funeral."

Senna suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Three days later, Aoi's funeral was still held.

Buried in the soil is a blue box that she will love, and inside is a set of the most blue kimono in her wardrobe.

Abandoning flowers of other colors, it is completely composed of blue, like a blue ocean, and even the location is an open space without many trees.

Because there is no cover from the leaves, you can see the blue sky more.

All of them are what she likes, and she ordered them for herself.

Surrounded by blue flowers, looking up is an endless clear blue. On the square tombstone is a name.

Abandoning Yu Yi's surname, it was replaced by another selfishly, as if to show something.

Not Hagoromo, but:

——Uchiha Aoi.

……

The weather is clear and cloudless, which is a good weather for traveling.

Back home from the outside world, Quan Nai cleaned herself up again to make sure she was clean enough.

It can already be said that there is peace on the outside. In a certain battle with the Senju family in the future, Madara and Senjuzhu confirmed the alliance and established a ninja village. Other countries followed suit and ushered in "peace" for a time. .

At first, Senju Bashima thought that Madara was finally impressed by his tireless efforts, but Quanna knew that it was only because of one sentence.

[An early peace. ]

As for the last sentence...

Quan Nai took the gift and came to Sanyuan Aoi's room.

This place has not changed in the past few years, it is still the same as it was at the beginning, not even dust.

But there are many more things.

"Sorry, Aoi."

Senna put the gift box on the table.

"This time I went to the Kingdom of the Wind, and there is a place over there, which is quite interesting."

As if the owner of the room is still here hoping, he rambled about what he had seen and heard along the way.

"Because the ninjutsu of puppets can be controlled, the craft in this area is very good, and the craft of making dolls is much better than other countries."

"But I've been to that place once and I really don't want to go there for the second time. In the desert, it's windy and sandy, and the sun is hot, so it's not suitable for you."

"The Land of Winds, but the flowers over there bloom beautifully, if possible..."

Having said that, Quan Nai paused, and the remaining half was stuck in his throat for some reason, and he couldn't spit it out smoothly.

——I want to take you to see it together, whether it is flowers or other things.

He turned his head and stared at the table, the gifts that had piled up into hills in the past few years but had never been opened were silent.

After a long time, he suddenly spoke.

"I will always think of you."

It's not deliberate, but a more natural miss.

"When I see a clear sky, I will think of you."

Blue ones, like your eyes.

"I will think of you when I see the flowers in full bloom."

Beautiful, I want to show you.

"I will think of you when I see the stalls on the side of the road."

I want to take you to eat with me.

"When I see the fireworks in the night sky, I will think of you."

The gorgeous fireworks are a sight not to be missed.

"When I see nice clothes, I will think of you."

If you wear it on your body, it should be very beautiful.

Even... when I take a break when I'm tired of dealing with documents, I will think of you inadvertently.

Quan Nai's eyes were soft, and she repeated a sentence in a slightly distressed voice.

"I will always think of you."

You see, I miss you so much.

He obviously didn't think about it deliberately, but when he saw many things, her figure would involuntarily appear in his head.

But it seems that she is still here, staying within his reach, never leaving.

But if this is really the case, then, at this moment, what permeates him, what weighs on his heart, attempts to swallow the air around him, making it difficult for him to breathe, these uncontrollable thoughts...

What's the matter again?

"So... can you let me go and let me continue to believe..."

Quan Nai moved her lips, and the silent words dissipated in the room where he was alone.

"Continue to believe, you are still here."

— never parted.
