[Comprehensive] Doing a puzzle

No one knows when the war between Uchiha and Senju will stop, even if for this war, both sides have lost countless lives and decades of time.Many children died under the wheels of war before they had time to grow up, turning into silent tombstones in the clan land.

Izumi Sato looked at the two brothers, blinked, and asked a question that he already knew the answer to: "Do you have to fight Qianshou?"

"Yes." Senna said.

"...Then, please return safely."

This battle took a long time, and it ended in late summer and early autumn more than half a year later.When Uchiha Izumi was brought back to the clan, he was seriously injured and was in a coma all day long.Madara put down the work in the clan and stayed with his younger brother by the bed.However, such companionship could not prevent Quan Nai's body from rapidly weakening.

One day in autumn, maybe because he expected something, Madarasho Sato Izumi called to Quanna's room where she was recuperating, saying that Quanna wanted to see her.

"If you can, stay with him all the time."

Izumi Sato knew that this was probably the last time she and Izumi Uchiha would see each other.

The canopy of the trees in the courtyard happened to be from dark green to yellow, with layers of green and gold fading brightly in the wind. Occasionally, two pieces would fall down, half covering the tree roots floating in the soil.Izumi Sato pushed open the paper door of the Japanese room, and knelt down beside Uchiha Izumi.

Probably because he was afraid that his younger brother would get cold and wanted to leave them a separate space, Uchiha Madara simply closed the door for them.

Senna's black hair was loose and spread softly on the pillow.He slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Izumi Sato sitting beside him, he showed a slight smile.

"You came."

"Master Quan Nai, please have a good rest." Quan advised.

He wasn't in the right physical condition for wasting energy in small talk.

Uchiha Izumi closed her eyes again, and the smile at the corner of her mouth gradually faded away.A sentence sounded like a dream before falling into a light sleep.

"After I die, Brother Ban won't have to worry about the eyes anymore. My pupil power will always be with me..."

"Please don't say that." Sato Izumi said softly, "Your body will definitely recover soon."

"That kind of thing..." Uchiha Izumi chuckled, and her thin cheeks moved.He pulled his hand out of the quilt, tremblingly wanting to touch the girl's cheek.It's a pity that the remaining strength made him unable to do such a thing. In the end, with the help of Izumi Sato, he was able to put his palm on her face.

"Izumi." He groped her skin with his fingertips: "Things like war have nothing to do with you. Whether it is Senju or Uchiha, it has nothing to do with you."

"Ah."

"As I said, you will also have someone who is 'enough to make you give something precious'. When you meet that person..." Quan Nai said, her voice weakened.He took a few breaths and said, "It doesn't matter whether he is Senju or Uchiha. Whether he is a man or a woman..."

Izumi Sato clasped his slightly cool palm and said with a smile, "I will definitely not miss it."

Uchiha Izumi nodded.

He probably thought of the journey he and his beloved brother had gone through for the war, and there was a sense of loss in his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Sato Izumi couldn't help lowering his head.Black hair fell down, covering her face.

"What? Are you crying?" Quan Nai rubbed her cheeks with her fingers, trying to find the hot tears she guessed.However, the girl raised her head again, revealing a well-groomed, tearless face.

"Sorry..." she murmured, "I don't know what 'crying' is."

"..."

"What I said to Senna-sama earlier, I will not be angry, nor will I be angry. This is not an exaggeration. I probably am not even a human being, so I am missing some human emotions. I am not angry or sad. I can't express it well. I can't produce things like tears on my own."

"Then your expression now is really uglier than crying."

After saying this, Quan Na did not continue.His breathing was faint, and he fell asleep after exhausting all his strength.

Izumi Sato exited the room, and saw Uchiha Madara looking at the trees in the courtyard in a daze.Hearing footsteps, he turned around and pulled Quan into his arms.

The sudden hug was full of strength.

"Am I...wrong...?"

Uchiha Madara came with a slightly remorseful and disturbed voice.

Izumi Sato couldn't answer this question well.This is not just the fault of Uchiha Madara alone, or the fault of the thousand-handed ninja who seriously injured Quan Nai. The root cause should be the endless wars and irresolvable hatred.

"Even at this time, Senna-sama is still worried about your pupil power." She said to Madara: "I think, compared to me, Senna-sama should hope that you are by his side."

I have to say that Uchiha Madara is a very calm person.The younger brother who was the most important was seriously injured and unconscious, but he remained calm in front of others and was not disturbed at all.Under his leadership, the Uchiha clan is as orderly as ever.

In late autumn, Uchiha Izumi passed away.

As Quanna wished, his eyes were removed from his body, and the pupil power he had was merged with that of his brother Madara.

Quan Nai's death did not cause much disturbance in the Uchiha clan, because countless people of his age died in every war.For the Uchiha people, death has paralyzed their nerves.

Izumi Sato occasionally walked to the door of the room where Quan Nai used to live at night, stared at the empty Japanese room, and then stood silently for a long time, recalling the appearance of Quan Nai once.

This was the first time she had experienced the death of someone close to her.

Although it won't be too sad, it always feels empty somewhere.This feeling of being so light and unable to touch the ground was so uncomfortable that she wanted to pull out that part of her too gentle self and completely separate herself from herself.

This night, she stood outside the room where Quan Nai once lived, lost in thought.

"June."

Uchiha Madara, who hadn't returned to this home for a long time, revealed himself from a corner of the corridor.In late autumn, he put on a crow-colored feather weaving over his navy-blue national uniform to resist the cold night.

"Master Madara." Izumi Sato bowed slightly and saluted him.

"Do you come here often?" Madara asked her.

"Occasionally." Quan replied.

Uchiha Madara walked up to her, looked sideways at the dark room, and said in a low voice, "Before Izumi left, what did I say to you last?"

Quan recalled the words of the young man when he was dying, and said them one by one: "He said that after his death, the eyes can be used by Madara-sama, so that Madara-sama doesn't have to worry about pupil power anymore. And... "

"What else?"

"Miss Quanna told me very gently, if I meet someone who is worth everything, no matter what the person's surname or gender is, please don't miss him."

Madara listened, revealing a dazed look.This expression only appeared for a moment, and soon disappeared into a cold one.Since Quanna passed away, Madara has erased all the concern and affection that he only showed to his younger brother in the past, as if covering his body with an invisible cold armor, making it impossible for people to touch his heart.

His palm fell to the handle of the knife at his waist, and he held it tightly.

"It's because I failed to protect Quan Nai." There was a trace of coldness in his words: "In this case, I must avenge his revenge with my own hands."

"Master Madara, please don't blame yourself like this." Izumi tilted his head and said softly.

As a bystander, she can only comfort Uchiha Madara in this way.

Madara stared into the night in the courtyard and asked, "June, can you remember your family now?"

Quan shook his head.

"Can't recall the family affairs?" He asked again.

"Just some fragmentary impressions." She replied.

"So..." Uchiha Madara caught a glimpse of her calm and gentle expression, wanted to say something, but stopped abruptly.

【Treat this place as your family】

【You without family, and me without family...】

Such thoughts quickly disappeared.

Uchiha Madara's heart hardened when he thought of the war that would stop at some point.Now he doesn't need relatives or company, he just needs to avenge Quan Nai and the clansmen who died in battle.

It is not too late to bring up these topics after the war is over.

Seeing his thoughtful expression, Quan took the initiative to say, "Master Madara, I have a question about illusion."

Madara was interrupted by Quan's sudden question, and looked at her coldly.

Her mood, which was originally wrapped in memories, was disturbed by her spoiling question, and the previous sad atmosphere instantly disappeared.

When Quan asked about ninjutsu, his attitude was very serious, far more serious than her attitude on the bed.

After explaining her confusion for her, Madara couldn't help saying: "Why do you learn so much ninjutsu? I will protect you. Although there are many excellent female ninjas on the battlefield, since you live by my side, you can You don’t have to study so hard.”

It is true that as Madara said, in this era, the status of women is not particularly high.All the ninjas on the battlefield are basically male ninjas, while more women are responsible for having children and taking care of the family.In order to reserve war power, a mother often has to give birth to many children.For example, there are three brothers in Hashirama, and Madara once had four brothers.

"Does Madara-sama think women can't be strong?" she asked.

"I'm not so narrow-minded. There are also powerful female ninjas, but you don't need to work so hard." He replied with a frown.

"I can't live under Madara-sama's wing forever," she replied.

"..."

Uchiha Madara admitted that what she said made sense.If Madara Uchiha dies in the next war, she loses her protection.

Thinking of this, Madara took off the haori on her shoulders and draped it over her thin shoulders.The shoulders under the palm are thin and weak, and they don't have the strength to resist at all.

"Go to bed early," Madara said.

"Master Madara, too." Izumi Sato tugged at Haori, his eyes brightened slightly: "Thank you."

Sato Izumi slowly returned to his room.The night was as cold as water, and there was a diffuse chill on her feet.

Suddenly there was the sound of a bird flapping its wings in the courtyard. Izumi Sato followed the sound and found that it was a bird with injured wings, which fell on the grass beside the pond.Its feathers were still wet with the night dew.

She picked up the injured bird and brought it back to the house to bandage its wound.The bird above Bi Se's head curled up sleepily in her palm, looking very cute.

At this moment, Uchiha Madara's figure was reflected on her paper door again.

"June, I..."

"Does Madara-sama want to get back your haori?"

"No." He replied simply.

"Okay, okay, I see." She probably guessed what Madara was thinking, and smiled slightly: "Here we come."

As she spoke, she used her fingers to untie the knot on her waist.

Bare feet trampled the ground, and the paper door was moved away.Uchiha Madara reached out to embrace her and pushed her into the darkness.

"I'm still not used to it... when Quanna is not around..."

"I will accompany you."
