The hero is said to be dead

?*

Walking on the streets of Konoha, Sakura's heart is complicated.

Familiar scenery, familiar people, I didn’t feel it before I saw it, and I realized it after I met it. There is always a void called "missing" in my heart. As long as I don’t return to the original world, this void will not disappear for a day.

Sakura even wondered if she would go crazy if this continued.

This is probably the biggest difference between her and Uchiha Megumi—there are no things or people worth Uchiha Megumi to miss in this world.

Fortunately, everything has an end.

Following Sasuke into the stone room under Minamigagawa Shrine, Sakura didn't say a word the whole time.

Taking out the mask according to Orochimaru's request, Sakura just stayed silently waiting for the completion of the reincarnation.

"Hs...hs..."

"Uhhhh!"

The soul from the pure land invaded the body of the sacrifice, and amidst the roars of the Baijues, the reincarnation of the dirty land was completed.

The previous Hokages stood in front of Sasuke and the others.

Sakura quietly watched Hokage's reaction to being reincarnated by the dirt, as well as their conversation with Orochimaru.

Until the first generation found her existence.

"Huh? This little girl has the blood of Qianshou... It seems that Mu Dun has awakened... Could it be... Xiao Gang's child?"

"..." Sakura didn't know how to answer the first generation's question.

Said that she is not a child of Master, not a person of this world?

Or……

"Brother! Even if you want to recognize your relatives, please use your brain to think about it, okay?" Second Daime Senju opened his mouth in time to relieve Sakura, "This girl's age is obviously impossible, let alone..."

"...Besides, I'm not Tsunade-sensei's child, or...I'm not the 'me' of this world." Sakura felt that there was no need to hide this kind of thing from these seniors.

Sakura's words stunned the Hokages.

"Uh...what do you mean 'you are not from this world...you'?" Senshou Bashirama didn't understand this very well.

"My question can be put aside for now... The purpose of summoning all Hokage-sama this time is actually to answer Sasuke-kun's questions!" Sakura didn't answer the question of the original purpose, but changed the topic.

So, everyone turned their attention to Sasuke.

Hokage also began to answer the question of this Uchiha boy.

Listening to Hokage's narration, Sakura knew a lot of things she never knew.

It is not entirely correct to say "I don't know", but it is more intuitive and detailed from the mouth of the experiencer.

About Sasuke, about Uchiha, about... Uchiha Madara.

"Hatsudaime-sama, do you know 'Uchiha Megumi'?" After Sasuke finished his choice, Sakura couldn't wait to ask Senju Hashirama for an answer.

"...Please answer me, this question is...very important to me." There was a deep pleading in Sakura's eyes, and she felt that she might have touched the secret buried in time.

"Megumi Uchiha... um... I seem to have a little impression... but..." Senju Zhuma began to think seriously, but he couldn't remember it after thinking for a long time.

Is she really too sensitive...

Sakura was a little disappointed.

"Megumi Uchiha? The old man remembers that there seemed to be such a person in the Uchiha clan." Just when Sakura was giving up hope, the Senshou who stood aside spoke.

"Tima?" It was Hashirama who was dumbfounded.

"Then...do you still remember what kind of person he was?" Xiaoying looked at Qianshoubeijian with vaguely hopeful eyes.

"In that era, there were few female ninjas with potential, and coupled with the hostile relationship between Senju and Uchiha, it was natural to know that there was such a person." The voice said, "I heard that he was a person with great potential in swordsmanship... It's a pity... he died early on the battlefield without the chance to fight."

I see.

"Then she and Uchiha Madara..." Sakura thought of something again.

"...When you said that, Tomona, I remembered it!" Senju Hashirama interrupted suddenly, "I remember that Madara would occasionally mention a girl at that time, who seemed to be called 'Mei'...but then we broke up After that, we all grew up, so we never heard him mention it."

"Hey... Did the 'Nine Tails Attack' happen at that time?"

[Once upon a time, the seal of the Uzumaki clan failed, and the old man attacked the residences of the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan in his long-standing rage.The old man remembers that a little girl from Uchiha opened her eyes at that time, because it was Sharingan, so I remember it very clearly. ]

Remembering what Kyuubi said, Sakura's eyes were fixed on Senju Hashimama, this was her last question.

"Nine tails? How is it possible?" Hashirama was very surprised by Sakura's question.

Seeing Senjujuma's reaction, Sakura already had an answer.

Uchiha Megumi and Uchiha Madara in each parallel world have different personalities and ways of doing things.

Uchiha Megumi's almost crazy obsession with Kyuubi, that deep-seated hatred.

Uchiha Megumi looked at those Uchiha Madara's eyes, as if looking at someone through the other party.

It all makes sense...

If... Uchiha Megumin is not "Uchiha Madara". ?

☆、I miss you in my memories ([-])

?*

Let Uchiha Megumi replace Uchiha Madara.

Hui's idea made everyone in the meeting feel unbelievable, but... after thinking about it carefully, they felt that such a thing was okay.

The loss of the heir to the patriarch would definitely cause chaos within the clan, so the news was blocked as early as the moment it happened.

Uchiha absolutely can't leave a thousand-handed opportunity in this matter.

It was only a matter of time before a new heir was born.

But now, there is a person who says that he is willing to give up his identity and live as "Uchiha Madara".

And this person happened to have Sharingan turned on.

Is there anything better than this?

"Master Patriarch... this matter is not a big deal." An elderly Uchiha tribe spoke out what everyone was thinking.

Uchiha Tajima didn't make a decision right away, he looked at Kei who was sitting opposite, his slightly swollen eyes didn't show any wavering.

After a long time, he let out a soft sigh, lowered his eyes and nodded in agreement.

After the meeting, the others left the stone room one after another.When everyone was gone, Uchiha Tajima discovered that Kei had been sitting there and hadn't left.

"Hui, you..." Tajima was about to ask Hui if there was anything else, when she saw the girl put her hands on the ground, her fingertips facing each other, her forehead almost touched the ground, and her long black hair fell to the ground with her large movements.

"Master Patriarch, please... promise me a request!"

Looking at Kei kneeling in front of him, Tajima frowned.

He watched Hui grow up, and this child has the tenacity and rationality necessary to become a strong person.

but……

Tajima looked up and down the girl in front of him with scrutiny.

Maybe he's jumping to conclusions too soon.

"Please allow..." With her forehead pressed against the cold ground, Hui felt the patriarch's gaze on her, and if there was substance, "...I want to see it with Madara's eyes."

"Do you know what you're talking about?!" Tajima's gaze was cold, and his unwavering voice suppressed disbelief.

Even though Tajima's Wia enveloped her above her, Hui's lips hidden in the black hair were lightly pursed, and then evoked a strange arc.

"I know...I've heard...you and Senior Yuzi's words."

Hui thought back to the words of the senior with the highest skill in the clan.

[Patriarch... I think I need to talk to you alone... Madara has opened his eyes...]

Kyuubi's attack gave Uchiha two pairs of Sharingan.

One life, one death.

In the end, Hui Na's incredible idea came true.

Many years later, when recalling this memory that took root in her heart like a thorn, Lian Hui felt incredible.

Unbelievable at my own crazy thoughts.

Unbelievably, "Father" agreed.

The eye-changing operation was more successful than expected, and even Ikuko Uchiha, the chief surgeon, found it incredible.

Sitting up from the bed, Kei stretched out her hands to cover her eyes covered with bandages.

This way I can continue watching with you... Madara.

There was a faint tingling in the eyes, and Hui felt that his face was wet and cool, as if some liquid gushed out.

"It's best not to have too much emotional ups and downs during the recovery period, your eyes can't accept such a big stimulus."

A woman's warm voice came from next to her ear, and Hui nodded slightly in response.

……

In late spring and early summer, the woods are already luxuriant, but the weather is not yet hot.

Outside Uchiha's residence, Minami Kagawa.

11-year-old Hui stood by the river, holding a stone in her hand, her eyes staring at the river but without focus, obviously absent-minded.

It has been a year since bearing the name "Uchiha Madara".

From that day on, Hui changed many of her previous habits.For example, I will no longer go to the branch of Minamigagawa, which I used to go to often with Madara, and come to this main stream that is farther away from the station; Afterwards, I never had it again; for example... I learned what I'm not good at.

[…Watching the pebbles thrown is as if the sadness in my heart is also thrown into the water with the pebbles...and gone with the water...]

Recalling what Madara once said in her mind, Kei raised her right arm and turned her body to the right side, imitating the movement of the boy in her memory and throwing the stone in her hand.

The small stone jumped lightly on the surface of the water, and sank a little distance from the opposite bank.

Sure enough, it still doesn't work...

Hui bent down and picked another flat stone, planning to try again.

Suddenly, her movements stopped, and her gaze swept to the side and rear.

"When you throw it, you have to move your hand to pull it up...it will be over in a blink of an eye..." The watermelon-headed boy who didn't know when he appeared said with a smile.

Hui's brows were tightly frowned, and the young man's familiarity and preaching made her very unhappy.

"I know this kind of thing even if you don't tell me... I'm just out of shape." Although he knew that his "battle" skills were not good, but the pride hidden deep in his heart made Hui unwilling to admit defeat.

"By the way... who are you?" Kei asked the boy while posing according to his body's memory.

"My name is Hashirama... I can't tell you my surname for some reason." The boy introduced himself from behind.

Can't tell last name...

Suppressing the speculation in his heart, Hui threw the stone out again with all his strength.

The stone followed a similar trajectory across the sky above the river, and finally fell into the water... still did not reach the other side.

Hui's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, which was what she expected, but it still made her uncomfortable to be seen by strangers what she was not good at.

...It was as if the memories belonging to her and Madara had been peeped into.

"I said..." She clenched and loosened her hands hanging by her side, Hui turned and pointed at Hashirama angrily, "Are you standing behind me on purpose to distract me?! You don't know that I can't stand others standing Behind me?!"

"I'm sorry..." Frightened by Kei's anger, Hashirama clasped her hands on her knees and squatted down in a corner to grow mushrooms.

Seeing a bunch of fungal creatures growing around Hashirama, the corners of Hui's eyes twitched, and most of the anger in her heart disappeared.

"That... there's no need to be so depressed, right? Well... I shouldn't blame you, I apologize to you..."

Before Huishou could finish apologizing, Hashirama slurred another sentence.

"...Because...I didn't know you had such a terrible habit...of not being able to stand behind anyone or anything...poof..."

Hashirama even laughed out loud at the end.

The veins on her forehead twitched, and Hui felt that her lower limit of patience was being challenged all the time.

"I really don't know what to say about you..."

"Haha! At least I'm better at swimming than you!" Hashirama climbed up the pole.

Seeing Hashirama's mood suddenly improved, Hui raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, trying not to care about his unflattering words.

When did I become so easily drawn by others...

"Oh! That's..." When Kei was immersed in his own thoughts, Hashirama found the dead ninja floating along the river.

Seeing Hashirama skillfully stepping on the water and getting closer to the corpse, Huide's eyes flashed with clarity.

Sure enough...he is a ninja.

"This place is about to become a battlefield too... I have to go... It will be very dangerous for you as a girl here, go back quickly!" Standing up, Zhu said to Hui from a short distance away. It is different from the previous seriousness.

"...I didn't expect such an unreliable person like you to care about people..." Hui's mouth curved, "My name is Madara. I can't tell you my last name. This is the rule of ninjas. I think... you I must also understand."

After finishing speaking, Hui turned around and left first.

"...Sure enough...you are also a ninja." Hashirama jumped away until Hui's back was completely out of sight. ?

☆、I miss you in my memories ([-])

?*

The encounter with Nanhe Chuanbian was just an episode, and soon Hui devoted herself to new tasks and battles.

Uchiha met Senju again in this mission. There is no doubt that the two clans were fighting to the death again, and the casualties were heavier than usual.

The two clans fought back and forth like this, and they couldn't tell whether it was the reason for the mission or the reason for the old enmity. Anyway, the result was fruitless, and in the end they could only compete on whether the mission was completed or not.

This time it happened to be Uchiha who successfully completed the task.

After assisting Uchiha Tajima with the follow-up of the mission, Hui Gang planned to follow him to the conference room, but was dismissed.

"Father?" Hui looked at Uchiha Tajima in surprise.

From the moment she opened her eyes, it was natural that she was one of the people participating in the clan meeting. Why this time...

"...Go and deal with the injuries on your body. I will tell you about the meeting later."

It was because of this...

Hui bent a relaxed smile and explained: "My injury is fine, it won't affect..."

"This is an order." Uchiha Tajima emphasized his tone.

Surprised by Uchiha Tajima's serious attitude, Kei was stunned.Although she didn't understand why her father insisted so much, she still chose to obey.

Putting away her smile, Hui responded respectfully and then turned and walked towards home.

Standing in place watching Hui leave, until her back disappeared around the corner, Uchiha Tajima's tense facial muscles loosened.

He has always maintained the image of a "strict father" in front of Madara and Quanna, but now facing Kei, he doesn't know how to care for her.

The reason for such distress is not because he suddenly wants to change his image, but because Hui is too hardworking.

Like a taut bowstring, it does not relax until the moment it breaks.

Rubbing his brows with a headache, Uchiha Tajima sighed and left.

If only the mothers of the children were there...

……

Returning to her room with a basin of water, Hui took off her coat and began to treat the many and small wounds on her body.

Hui did not feel unwilling or unhappy about being driven back by Uchiha Tajima.

The sensitive Hui still noticed the hidden concern.

Maybe she was really in a hurry...Hui thought.

"Who?" Sensing someone standing at the door, Hui stopped what she was doing and put on her coat.

"Sister Hui!" The paper door was pulled open vigorously, and Quan Nai, who hadn't had time to change out of her battle attire, rushed in.

Seeing that it was Quanna, Hui's eyes softened instantly.

Putting her hands on the top of Quan Nai's hair and rubbing it, Hui raised a helpless smile: "Didn't I say that? Don't call me 'Hui', but 'Sister'."

"No... Sister Hui is Sister Hui, if it's an older brother, I definitely wouldn't..."

"Quenna!" Hui suddenly yelled to stop Quanna's words.

...will never agree to such a thing.

Seeing Huiwang's soft and painful gaze towards her, Quan Nai couldn't speak anymore.

"Quanna...it doesn't matter what you call it when there is no one around, but...you have to remember that you have no choice but to accept some things."

Like Madara died... like she became "Uchiha Madara".

"...Then, did my sister really accept it? Did she really accept...that my brother died?" Quanna stared at Kei with clear eyes, as if she had seen through her.

Hui opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

Even she doesn't know...

Did she... really accept it?

Because the last task was too much competition with Senshou, Uchiha planned to rest for a while.

Hui once again returned to the monotonous and peaceful daily life, either practicing alone or with Quanna.

On this day, Hui came to Nanhechuan again.

Before reaching the river, Hui felt the gloomy breath blowing towards her face.This feeling made her instantly think of the boy named "Hashirama".

Isn't this guy growing mushrooms by the river again? !

Thinking so, Hui jumped over the bushes and landed on the river beach.Sure enough, the boy with the watermelon head was squatting by the river, exuding depression.

"Hey... Long time no see... the boy called 'Hashirama'?" Hui didn't know how to comfort someone he didn't know very well, so he could only say hello first.

"..." Hashirama turned his back to Hui, and didn't look back when he was called.

Hashirama's ignorance made Hui feel that the other party didn't appreciate it. She frowned and asked, "Did something happen?"

"...no...it's nothing wrong. I'm fine. You're the one...what's the matter with asking so suddenly..." Anyone who hears the tone of Hashirama knows that there must be something wrong.

"...Stop pretending, no matter how you look at it, something has happened, tell me!" Hui stood beside Hashirama with his arms folded, looking very patient.

"...It's really nothing... ouch!" Hashirama still wanted to deny it, but Hui also stopped playing around with him and directly punched him on the head.

Sure enough, talking nonsense with this kind of person is a waste of time.

Seeing Hashirama who finally turned around, Kei curled the corners of her lips in a particularly good mood.

"Madara...why did you hit me?" Hashirama covered her swollen head and looked down at Hui with teary eyes.

"Hmph! A person like you who keeps silent can only rely on his fist to pry your mouth open." Hui said nonchalantly.

"Ah... Madara, you seem to be very experienced?"

"It's not very experienced... It's just that I used it on someone who is similar to you..." Hui unconsciously put away his smile.

She remembered that time, too, Madara... suffering the loss of her brother alone, without crying or speaking.

"...Really..." Closing her eyes and trying not to immerse herself in the memory, Kei turned her gaze to Hashirama, "Don't change the subject, what happened to you?"

"...my brother is dead." Zhu Jian's voice was soft, hitting Hui's heart, but it was as heavy as a boulder falling to the ground.

Hashirama turned his head away, raised his hand and wiped his face fiercely: "...I came here because I looked at the river, and the depression in my heart will go away with the river..."

[... Madara, why do you always come here? ]

[...Because watching the river flow by, the pain in my heart seems to go away with the flowing water...]

The boy's profile was blurred in memory, but Hui clearly remembered every word he said.

"...Madara, you must think so too." Hashirama asked Kei, turning her face to the side, there were still tears on her face after crying.

"Ah..." Hui neither admitted nor denied, she bent down to pick up a stone.

"...you...do you have brothers?" Hashirama looked up at Hui with a calm expression.

Hui stopped standing up.

"... There are five brothers in my family..." The long hair slipped from her shoulders, covering Hui's eyes, "... used to be."

Megumi also has siblings, but she's Madara now, so... Madara's family is her family.

"...We are ninjas, and we will die someday." Hui's mind flashed the last face of his father, and the blood gushed out of Madara's abdomen and mouth under the moonlight.

"...I can't think of any other way to save both sides from dying, except to tell the truth."

"...but...how is this possible? People's hearts are separated by a thick belly!" Hui smiled sarcastically, not knowing what she was mocking.

"……so……"

With the stones he picked up before held between his fingertips, Hui put his body on one side, with his arms back, in a standard posture, and then threw the stones skillfully.

"...So I'm still thinking, is there a way to have both."

How can we stop the war, stop this endless killing?

She used to think with Madara, but now... only her left.

"It seems that I have also found the trick... Now not only you, but I can also throw it to the other side." Hui's eyes stopped on the other side of the river, but what she saw was not the scenery on the other side.

No matter how difficult or difficult it is, as long as you think about it and work hard, you will definitely be able to do it.

I will definitely realize our common dream, Madara. ?

☆、I miss you in my memories ([-])

?*

After that day, Hui went to Nanhechuan more and more times, and often met Hashirama who came here.

Maybe it's because of Hashirama's cheerful personality, maybe it's because he also has such innocent dreams, maybe it's because of the few similarities in him that give her the illusion of being with Madara.

Discussing with Hashirama and practicing together makes Hui feel relaxed and happy, because they have a common language, and those who cannot express their thoughts to others can share them.

This is probably the so-called best friend, right?

"...The forest is really unobstructed from here..."

"Well... I can see clearly from far away. If I compare my eyesight, I won't lose to you. How about it, do you want to compare?" Thinking of losing to Hashirama in the rock climbing competition just now, Hui's competitive spirit was hooked.

"Huh? You seem to be very confident in your eyes?"

"Of course! Because I have..." Sharingan.

The last three words stuck in his throat, and Hui Shengsheng swallowed them back.

almost said it...

"...What's wrong?" Sensing that something was wrong with Kei, Hashirama asked.

"...It's nothing...but I feel that I'm not that powerful." Hui's voice was dull as he pressed his fingers on the ground, as if they were about to plunge into the rock.

"...If it's really powerful...you won't be unable to protect even those you cherish."

...Madara won't let Madara die because of protecting herself.

So what if you have Sharingan?This pair of...eyes bought...in exchange for the death of a cherished person.

"... No matter what, I will protect the only remaining brother... no matter what happens."

Only Quanna... She will never let him have an accident. This is Madara's last entrustment and her only belief.

"Let's build our village here!" After staring at Kei's profile for a long time, Hashirama suddenly opened his hands and said loudly, "In this village, there will no longer be children killing each other..."

Describing the vision in his heart, Hashirama talked more and more vigorously.Driven by Hashirama's emotions, Kei's emotions also rose.

"If there is such a day...then I will protect my brother in this clear place!"

The wind rustled.

Tree shadows sway into the sea.

The voice of the oath echoed in the blue sky.

At this time, how much I prayed in my heart, how much I will hate my innocence when I wake up in the future.

Some things are destined to be impossible to achieve,

Some people are destined to run counter to it.

Once people's emotions are satisfied in a certain way, they will relax their vigilance.Even those ninjas who survived the battlefield of swords, lights and swords are no exception.

It wasn't until her father called her away that Hui didn't know that her Nan Hechuan matter had been discovered.

It was Quan Na who was ordered to follow her, but she... didn't notice it at all.

When told that Hashirama is a member of the Senju clan, Kei was surprised but still had a little understanding.

It turned out to be... no, it should be said that it was really...

There is probably no one who can fight against her without losing the wind, except for the heir to the patriarch of the Qianshou clan.

When I came out of my father's room, the moon had already risen in the sky.

Hui looked up at the bright starry sky, tightly holding the stone used for floating in the water with his right hand.Thinking back to the order her father gave just now, she already had a decision in her heart.

Once a person understands the pain of loss, he will cherish what he has and what he has gained, and try his best to protect it.

She doesn't want to lose this friend.

……

"I will never forgive anyone who dares to hurt my brother!"

The two stones with informant information knocked away the dagger and Kunai, and Kei quickly turned and fell in front of Quanna, protecting him behind him.

The stones sank to the bottom of the river together with the blade, just like the friendship between a boy and a girl, which is no longer simple and pure as before.

Hui looked at Hashirama, who was as tense as her, and suddenly felt how naive and ridiculous she was before.

Desperately wanting to protect everything you have, wanting to lose nothing...but... how is that possible?

There will always be times when you want to protect something and you have to give up something else.

Once, when the Nine Tails came, she had no choice but to accept.

...but now it's different.

"Hashirama... It seems that the foolish things we said before will not be realized..." Hui put away her defensive posture, and the wind blew her long hair, covering her cold eyes.

"... Uchiha and Senshou really can't be friends... let alone confiding..." When Zhu Jian was still trying to maintain the precarious relationship between the two, Hui had already made a choice.

"...and I am... Madara Uchiha." Finally, looking back at Kei Hashirama, the swirling black jade has changed from one to two.

She gave up her best friend and completely erased this friend named "Hashirama" from her heart.

Yes, in just a few minutes she made a choice.

Even if my heart hurts, I won't hesitate...

...Why would you hesitate?

Like if given the chance, she would choose to let Madara live and never open her eyes.

Brother and friend, Quanna and Hashirama...

There is no need to hesitate at all.

Since Nan He Chuan broke apart, time has passed quickly.

In the battles with Zhujian, the Senshou Clan, and other ninja families, large and small, Kei gradually grew up.

Just recently, she became the new head of the Uchiha clan.

Hui is a straightforward woman, she said that a breakup is a breakup, and she will never let her emotions affect her reason, so when she was fighting with Zhujian, she showed no mercy at all.

But... every time he fights with Zhujian, Hui is both painful and happy.

Happiness, because the opponent is evenly matched with oneself, and can enjoy the joy of fighting——Uchiha women, no matter how gentle their personalities are, have fighting factors hidden in their bones.

As the heir to the patriarch, Megumin's standard of teaching is not "Uchiha women", but "future patriarch". The result can be imagined.

As for the pain...that's because——

"Madara! If the strongest Senju and the Uchiha clan form an alliance, the war will definitely stop... Have you seen the alliance document given to you... Come on, let us stop..."

Seeing Hashirama babbling while putting Mutun there, Hui chose to remain silent.

She didn't know that this guy Qianshou Zhujian had the attribute of "talking".

……

The battle does not stop, the time does not stop.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for both clans to consider the successor of the patriarch.After hearing that Patriarch Senju married the strongest female ninja of the Uzumaki clan, the elders of the Uchiha family couldn't sit still.

"... I understand everyone's concerns... Don't worry, Uchiha will not cause trouble because of the heir. When Quanna's child is born, I will announce that this child will become my heir." As soon as Hui said, Uchiha The old guys all nodded in satisfaction and stopped arguing.

Yeah, they're not anxious about Kei's marriage at all, on the contrary, they hope that Kei never gets married, at least... while she's the patriarch - so that Uchiha won't be short of one for a long time because of the patriarch's pregnancy and childbirth etc. important force.

Of course Hui understood what these old guys were thinking, anyway, she had no intention of getting married at all.

Quanna got married a few years ago, to a girl Keiya knew.The girl named Qianxun is also ranked among the best in the family, so Hui has an impression.

"... She has a good personality, good fighting ability, and most importantly - she likes me."

"...Then do you like her?"

"...If you don't like it, then you won't marry her. Sister, you don't know. At that time, she rushed forward to fight the enemy desperately...even I was frightened... she said 'I like hurting' No matter who I am, I will never let you go!'..."

"Quanna, you..."

"I know what you are worried about, sister... If you deny it directly, you will not believe it! I admit that at first I thought she was very similar to my brother and sister... Later, it was entirely because of this person that I decided to be together."

"I'm relieved that you say that."

"...I don't need to worry about the important things in my life anymore. Elder sister should also think about herself? Elder sister... Elder sister Hui... You... It's time for you to come out of the shadow of brother."

...coming out of my brother's shadow.

...coming out of... Madara's shadow.

Sitting in the corridor of the room in a white singlet, Kei reached out and stroked her eyes.

Recalling Quan Nai's words at that time, she put down her hands and smiled silently.

Getting up and going back to the room, Kei took out a box from under the cabinet.The box was placed in a hidden place but it was spotless, obviously the result of being wiped frequently.

Opening the box, Kei took out a long knife from the box.The knife was brand new, and when it was drawn out of its sheath, the blade shone coldly under the moonlight.

This is the knife that Madara gave her, the first and last one, and she sealed it up after not using it a few times.

Caressing the blade with her fingertips, Hui's face softened a little bit, as if she was stroking her lover.

If anyone saw her at this time, their jaws would drop in shock—the frightening Uchiha patriarch would have such a gentle expression.

Madara...I miss you so much. ?
