[Hokage] Flower Time

The Nanga Shrine of the Uchiha clan was built next to the Nanga River, under which is hidden the secret room for the Uchiha clan to hold gatherings and sacrifices.Huashi has come here many times with Shisui to participate in the gathering of the Uchiha clan.At that time, she didn't understand what kind of message was hidden under those vague and ambiguous words, but when she recalled it now, she was shocked everywhere.

During those years that she thought were carefree, the family was secretly planning a rebellion.She paid no attention to this.Her elder brother Shisui and close friend Uchiha Itachi, who are close relatives, also never mentioned this, and kept silent to her.

She hurried along the snow-covered forest, her eyes slanting to one side.Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, she seemed to see the tall Yan Yan in Muye Village.

She hasn't been here for a long time.

Even though it was only a period of days that could be counted by snapping fingers, she felt that a long time had passed.

Konoha...

She remembered that on the hillside of Konoha, there were the heads of the four generations of His Excellency, and there was her favorite sweet shop on the street.But she couldn't remember exactly what the Fourth Generation Lord looked like when he smiled, and what color the dessert shop's signboard was.

She forcibly withdrew her focused gaze and continued on the same path.The crushed snow fell into the swaying grass, until the field of vision gradually opened up.A flat of snow lay before the eyes, and the drifting snowflakes tried to cover up a series of shallow footprints on it, but it was useless.

"It's Madara. He's already here." Bai Jue said as he looked at the set of footprints.

The shrine of the Uchiha clan has long since lost its caretaker.The family enshrining the gods had already been slaughtered on a summer night.All that was left were empty and unguarded houses and stone statues covered with snow.

Pushing open the heavy door, the accumulated dust on the cracks of the door rustled down.

She was a little puzzled by the dust on the door-hasn't Uchiha Madara come yet?Or did he just punch a hole in the roof?

In the past, there would be faint candles here, illuminating the ground covered with tatami mats and the enshrined stone statues.But now it's pitch black and you can't see anything.She stood at the door, momentarily in a daze.

Fu Yue once called out to her who was drowsy here, and the flickering fire light shone on her and Shisui's faces.Such a scene seems to be close at hand.

She stepped into the shrine, groped for the seventh tatami in the dark, and then turned over and fell into the secret room.Unlike the darkness in the shrine, there is a faint fire here.

On both sides of the stele of the Uchiha clan, there are candles emitting a faint light.The candlestick holding the burning candle was covered with dust, and the dim light of the fire reflected the person leaning against the wall.Half of his body was hidden in the darkness, and half of his body was illuminated by the fire.

"Too slow," he said.

"..." She frowned, did not answer, and moved her gaze to Uchiha's stone tablet: "I have seen this kind of thing a long time ago...why..."

"Use Sharingan to read." Uchiha Madara interrupted her words: "Before you left Konoha, you haven't opened your eyes yet."

Hearing his words, Huashi opened Sangouyu's Sharingan, and looked at the stone slab left by the Immortal of the Six Paths.The original familiar content changed at the moment of eye contact, and became something she had never seen before.

"This is..." She realized the mystery and said, "Does the content of the slate need pupil power to interpret?"

"The stone tablet left by the Sage of the Six Paths records the reality of this world." Uchiha Madara said, "Now you...you can probably perceive the difference."

"Interpret according to the strength of pupil power... That is to say..." She said: "Can the meaning of a higher level be interpreted by using the kaleidoscope Sharingan?"

"You can put it this way." Uchiha Madara replied: "But, you can't use the kaleidoscope yet, can you?"

The faint flame flickered slightly, and there was silence in the secret room.The turbid, uncirculated air lingered in front of the two of them, and there was a dull smell in the secret room.

"Hey, you..." Hua Shi took a step in front of him, shifting his gaze from the stone tablet of the Sage of the Six Paths to his mask.

His mask and scarlet sharing eyes were flickering because of the firelight.

"You..." She took another step forward, brought her face closer, and her black eyes met his without fear.It seems that there is no motive, nor any doubts, just succumbing to the choice of the body and approaching needlessly.

Facing her sudden approach, Uchiha Madara did not change his movements, still leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.He closed his eyes slightly, and asked in a low voice, "What?"

"Don't be a god."

The accident happened in an instant, and before he had time to make a countermeasure, there was only the rotating light in his eyes.Black and red are intertwined, as if weaving an addictive dream.

"Tell me about Zhishui's whereabouts." She took two steps back, opening the distance between herself and the other party.There was a bloodstain under the right eye, and the warm blood trickled down the cheek.

Uchiha Madara lowered his head slightly, and said, "The whereabouts of Shisui...? This kind of thing needs to be talked about a long time ago."

Huashi frowned secretly.

She doesn't have time to listen to other people's long speeches.

and……

Isn't it "I"? ...

She forcefully concealed the disappointment in her heart, and said in a cold tone: "Please only talk about the most important things."

"Important thing?..." Uchiha Madara repeated, and said in a low voice: "On that day, Shisui 'Shunshen' originally planned to use his own power to change the will of the patriarch Fuyue. However, as a high-ranking Konoha Danzo doesn't trust him."

Hua Shi's heart was startled quietly by his words.

——Sure enough, sure enough.Shisui's disappearance has a great relationship with Uchiha's genocide case.

She asked with a cold face: "And then?"

"Shimura Danzo took one of his eyes, but he didn't kill him. Before the rally, he and Uchiha Itachi agreed to meet next to Nanga River."

His words revived her memories.That's right, what he said is true... everything can be compared with what happened that night.

Shisui said goodbye in the afternoon and went to Konoha's high-level office to perform tasks, but he never came back, and he didn't even participate in the family gathering.Also absent from the rally was Uchiha Itachi...

What he said is true!

She seems to be only one step away from the truth of Zhishui's disappearance!

She couldn't suppress her trembling and excitement, and urged: "Speak quickly, and then?"

"Then..." Uchiha Madara's voice slowed down, he half-closed his eyes, and didn't make a sound for a while.

"And then?" she urged again.

"There is no such thing as 'then'." With a low voice, Uchiha Madara suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck, and pressed her against the wall, raising her body inch by inch, forcing her toes off the ground, All the weight was concentrated on the palm of his hand that was tightly around her throat.

This sudden change caught her, who was immersed in the past, off guard, and she could only be restrained passively.At this moment, she struggled to break the opponent's palm with her hands, trying to breathe out.

"You actually..." Uchiha Madara's eyes dimmed: "You used other gods on me."

His palms shrank more and more, and it became more difficult for air to enter and exit.The feet lifted off the ground swayed weakly a few times, and Hua Shi felt that his vision gradually dimmed.

Is she going to be killed by Uchiha Madara here, in the underground secret room of Nanga Shrine?

This thought crossed her mind, and her body struggled even more violently.

Uchiha Madara's hand suddenly loosened, and the air finally gushed into his lungs.She fell to the ground, kicked up a cloud of dust, coughed violently, and a circle of bruises appeared on her neck.

...She was almost killed just now.

What a pity, what a pity.She was only a little away from knowing the truth behind Zhishui's disappearance.

However, at least she has learned some useful information.

Danzo took away one of Shisui's eyes, and Shisui met Uchiha Itachi that night.

Danzo took away one of Shisui's eyes...

She raised her head and looked at Uchiha Madara who was condescending in front of her.He was wearing an orange mask, only revealing a scarlet Sharingan, and he was looking at her coldly at the moment.

Regardless of the bitterness surging in her throat, she said, "In addition... what about the other eye?"

"Shisui's other eye?" Uchiha Madara said, "I don't know."

"No..." she said, "Where's your other eye? Why do you keep showing only one eye?"

Uchiha Madara did not answer her question, still staring at her with indifferent eyes.

"Don't tell me... it's a reason like 'I gave it to my teammates when I was dying in the war years, hoping that he could protect others better'..." She coughed and said, "Such things can only be found out. One thing. It can never be you."

All the sharingan of the Uchiha clan who are living outside must be recycled, and the only sharingan that has not been recycled is the one owned by Kakashi.

However, the person who sent Kakashi to share sharing eyes is already dead.She saw Kakashi sweeping the grave of that person with her own eyes, and that person's name was engraved on the tablet of the heroic spirit, and also on the tombstone of the Clothes Tomb.

"..." Uchiha Madara still didn't answer her question, but said, "Let's go."

It was hard for her to believe that the person who seemed to want to kill her just now let her go, and said such words as if nothing happened.She stood up, coughing again, choking on the dust in the air.

"Why, can't you walk?" Uchiha Madara stopped and said, "Could it be..."

"You carry me on your back!" She clenched her fists, unable to hold back her shouts and tears, and shouted forward.

The other party didn't answer, just watched her silently for a while in the dark, and then continued to walk forward.

"boring."
