[Hokage] Flower Time

"I'm not at all curious."

"I don't want to hear your story at all."

Such words kept echoing in her mind.But every time she was about to speak, somehow she stopped her lips.The quiet silence seemed to acquiesce to his sudden confession.

"When I first saw you, you were very young. You should only be...five? Six? In short, you are very young."

"At that time, I... only had one thought. I thought the world was gloomy, without a ray of light. I traveled all over the world, but all I saw was hatred and war. Partners killed each other, and friends died without knowing it. Will die when. That's what I've always thought."

"However, you are a very different existence."

"I don't know what is 'hate', what is 'pain', you can only see 'happiness' in your body. You live under everyone's love and favor, you are very happy."

"A you like this makes me feel very at a loss... I wonder if there really is 'happiness' in this world? When I saw you, I was confused by it for a while—I thought, I was wrong."

"Later, you gradually grew up. Years have passed, and you have not changed. You are innocent, ignorant of the world, and you don't understand anything. You always look carefree."

"At that time, I regretted it. I thought, maybe this world is not all dark, and there is something called 'happiness'. Maybe there is no point in creating a 'world with peace and happiness' at all, I Lost the light, but others are still under the light."

"I am in the dark, yearning for your world. I am envious, and I am constantly repenting for what I have done in the past. This kind of pain tortured me and made me almost give up the plan in my hand."

"But... there is no such thing as 'eternal happiness' in this world, and I was right, I told you."

"You grow up, but what greets you is not eternal happiness. Your family planned a rebellion, and the village's senior officials ordered the execution of everyone in the Uchiha clan. Indeed, I was also involved in the night when Uchiha Itachi took action .Even if I don't do it, Uchiha Itachi will kill all the others by himself. I don't deny this."

"It's not wrong for me to be the murderer who slaughtered the Uchiha clan. I don't need others to defend me."

"I thought you were dead too. For the sake of his beloved younger brother, Uchiha Itachi did not show mercy to anyone, including his parents, including you who was entrusted to him by Shisui. But, you did not die, you relied on your tenacity The will survived. At that time, I had the idea of ​​killing you.... Rather than letting you stay in this world full of pain for you, it is better to let you die that night."

"Later, I changed my mind...I saved you and wanted you to be used by me. As long as there is darkness in people's hearts and conflicts of interest between each other, things like the Uchiha clan will continue to happen. This is this world You are no stranger to his real appearance."

After finishing this long speech, he stopped talking.

After listening to Uchiha Madara's words, she let go of the kunai she was holding tightly in her hand, and tightened her quilt instead.

This is not the story of "Uchiha Madara".

In his words, it is more of her than Uchiha Madara that appears.

What he said was the story of the Uchiha flower time he saw.

She still doesn't know anything about Uchiha Madara's past.

——What about the story about Rin Nohara?

——What about the story about him and Kakashi?

——What about the story about the man called "Obito Uchiha"?

She suddenly thought of something, and asked in a low voice: "...When I was very young, I always felt that someone was watching me from behind. That person...is you?"

When going out on missions, when passing through the jungle, she would occasionally notice those sights.Her ears had indeed heard extraordinary footsteps.But when she pushed aside the blades of grass, what she saw was always empty.In the past, she thought it was an illusion, and there was no such a person who was always watching her secretly.

She heard Uchiha Madara chuckle: "You can say that."

"In a corner you don't know, I watched you grow up bit by bit."

Because of her astonishment, her fingers gripped even tighter, tearing out wrinkles on the mattress.

It's really him.

How old is that?Did he know of her existence when she was very young?

ten years?Or... longer?

"Let's rest." Uchiha Madara let go of the hand that was pressing on her, and brushed the hair next to her ear to one side.He said: "Your attack is completely ineffective against me. You should have understood such a thing a long time ago. In other words, if I want to kill you, I can do it long ago. Let go of Kunai and rest."

He stood up and put the mask on his face.She heard a familiar soft sound, Uchiha Madara disappeared from the vortex of time and space just like when he came.Once the night fell into silence, she quickly sat up and looked around.

The surroundings were quiet, and there was no one but her, as if that man had never been here.She looked at the empty ground beside her, exhaled a few breaths, and lay down heavily again.

She spread her arms wide and stared directly above her eyes with open eyes.Her arm seemed to bump into something cold and hard—it was the kunai she was pressing beside her hand, so she threw kunai further away.

Why did "Uchiha Madara" suddenly say this to her?

It was because he met Hatake Kakashi, so...

Once such thoughts popped up, I couldn't suppress them any longer.

That's right, she should be able to think of his identity.

he is……

The exhaustion in her body suddenly woke up, surging up like a sea wave, obliterating her body.Her eyelids closed involuntarily, and her vision fell into a daze.Her consciousness drifted away, and she gradually drifted away into the sky, and she finally fell asleep.

She had a dream.

She dreamed of Zhishui, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

The teenager stood in front of her and put his hand on top of her head.His height remained the same as when he left that year, and his face also looked like a teenager.When he looked at the flower in front of him, he laughed and said, "Xiao Huashi seems to have grown up a lot. Huashi...how old is this year?"

"Twenty." She lowered her head, feeling the feeling of Zhishui's palm resting on top of her head, and replied in a low voice.

"Hua Shi is already 20 years old." Zhi Shui raised the corners of his lips and said, "It's older than my brother. My brother is only this year."

"Has Huatou become an excellent Jonin? Have you gotten along well with your teammates? Have you dated boys? Although I think this is a bit angry... But Huashi has been so popular since he was a child. When he grows up, it is impossible not to People pursue." Zhishui's initial question was joyful, but later he was slightly troubled.

"No." She quickly vetoed, "I'm very busy and don't have time to do those things."

"What are you busy with?" Zhishui asked.

"It's..."

She choked, not knowing what to say.

What is she up to?

Was it busy fixing the roof with Shikao or laughing at Haruto during the summer?

It does not seem.

She's at……

"I'm re-creating a world where you exist." She said, wrapping her arms around his neck as she did when she was a child, resting her head low on his shoulder, and whispered, "I want you enough."

Because she lowered her head, she couldn't see his face clearly.As far as the line of sight is concerned, there are only my own toes.She squeezed her arms tightly and said, "I miss you so much."

"All I need is you..."

She murmured it again in a low voice.

She couldn't see the man's face.But his body has temperature, and she knows that this is a real person.

Is the person in front of you Zhishui?

is it him?Or... someone else?

Gentle and soft kisses fell on her lips, and the long breaths intertwined with each other.The suddenly scorching temperature was close at hand, and it seemed that there was a turbulent sea, which made her fall over.She hugged the person in front of her tightly, like a person who caught driftwood when she was drowning. She breathed shortly during the gap when she floated to the surface, trying to absorb more oxygen from the other person so as to continue to survive.

While spending time chasing Kyuubi, she leaves her partner to fight two female ninjas.A day has passed, but there is no news from Xie. She knows that Xie may no longer be in this world.

She and Madara returned to the cave following the route that day, and found that the originally closed and damp cave had become messy.A huge hole was broken on the roof of the cave, and the moonlight leaked from the big hole on the zenith and fell on the messy place.

The stones all around collapsed and broke, and were piled up in a mess.The dust of iron sand is spread on rocks, large or small, like a thick layer of dust.The puppets scattered all over the ground lay lifeless, and scattered organs and parts were scattered everywhere.Many rocks were corroded by the venom to remove the surface layer, showing a pitted scene.This embarrassment showed that there had been a fierce battle here before.

She stepped across the shallow clear water, walked around the stump of the puppet that might be stepped on at any time, and walked to the center of the cave.Her red-haired partner was kneeling quietly with his head bowed.Two crude puppets embraced him, as if parents were embracing a child in their arms, while the swords in their hands pierced through Scorpion's body.

A gust of night wind blew up the dark red robe on the puppet, and the venom that hadn't dried up dripped from the blade.
