Lorna really hates socializing, because from an efficiency perspective, it's a complete and boring waste of time.However, communication between people is not only about efficiency, but also about emotion, so Lorna had to patiently deal with the guests who came to toast.

In particular, many of the decision-makers of the Uchiha clan were supporters of the Uchiha clan, so within an hour after the dinner started, Lorna accepted toasts from seven or eight people.And every time, it was an Uchiha plus a Senju, as if they had made an appointment, filling the air with an indescribable smell of gunpowder.

"Ji Jun, are you okay?" While clearing the table, Yi Ji brought a stomach medicine to Lorna, and then changed the contents of the bottle to oolong tea mixed with water.

The two parties involved, who noticed something was wrong with their superiors, also vaguely reminded the elders in the secret fight not to embarrass Ji Jun.

Taking advantage of the gap in the process, Yi Ji helped Lorna up and suggested that she go outside to get some fresh air.

"Can you still walk?" Yiji, who had a motherly mentality, held Lorna's arm, fearing that she would stumble and fall into the mud.

"It's okay." Lorna, who felt that she was not so squeamish, drank half a bottle of oolong tea, but was almost vomited by the residual smell of alcohol.

She has decided that if someone tries to persuade her to drink without looking at her again in the future, she will definitely fall out on the spot.

After leaving the hall, Lorna went down to a secluded courtyard with the help of Yi Ji, and then performed extremely uncomfortable vomiting.

As the host of a banquet, how could he leave the table for too long before the guests have had a good time?

So after finishing vomiting, Lorna resisted the burning sensation in her throat and abdomen, took the water handed over by Yi Ji, and cleaned out the sour taste in her mouth.

"You can let go of the smell of alcohol here! I'll go to the kitchen first to check out the last snacks." Seeing that Lorna's face was normal and not overly hot, Yiji let go of Lorna with peace of mind. arms to do their own thing.

"Well! Thank you for your hard work." Lorna took advantage of the night breeze to shake her dizzy head, and decided to take a walk along the corridor to wake herself up.

As a result, when passing by the greenhouse that Senju Itama took care of, through the dim moonlight, Lorna discovered a strange figure inside.

"Who would go shopping in the greenhouse at this time?" Because the residual drunkenness made it difficult to keep up with her thinking, Lorna entered the greenhouse without much thought, and was almost choked by the people inside reflexively.

"...Hime-kun?" Uchiha Madara, who saw the face of the visitor clearly, quickly retracted the fingers that were about to touch Lorna's skin. Even after Lorna followed her gaze, he concealed the right hand that was almost doing evil.

"What...are you doing here?" The young patriarch of the Uchiha family went to see the greenhouse plants during such an important banquet. Is this normal?

Very abnormal.

"You're a little drunk, so why don't you come here to sober up?" Uchiha Madara left the table earlier than Lorna. In addition, he drank less, and the ninja's physical fitness was more than a star and a half higher than that of Lorna, so when talking to Lorna When Na met, he was almost awake: "What about you?"

"I drank too much." After all, she was the organizer who had to deal with two elders, so Lorna was under the most pressure in the room: "I remember that the last time we chatted, we were drunk too."

"But that time we drank green plum wine... You would never use such a petty wine at a banquet." Uchiha Madara laughed, and saw Lorna rummaging through the boxes in the shed for a while, and then took out an emerald green stick. rhizomes.

"What is this?" Madara Uchiha watched as Lorna took out a piece of tissue paper, wiped the green stems and leaves, and then waved to him: "Come here."

With a trace of confusion, Uchiha Madara walked towards Lorna and heard the other party ask in a low voice: "Can you water escape?"

Although the Uchiha clan is famous for its fire escape, as the young leader of the clan, Uchiha Madara has a younger brother who is at odds with Senju Tobirama, so he knows a little about water escape... right?

"I only know the Water Bullet Dragon Jutsu." Uchiha Madara stared at the plant in Lorna's hand, and suddenly understood what she was going to do: "Give me the thing."

Lorna watched as the young patriarch of the Uchiha family took off his gloves, and then used a miniature ninjutsu to clean the plants that Lorna picked, even taking special care of the muddy parts.

"Thank you." Lorna did not take the plant handed over by Uchiha Madara, but held the upper part, and then lightly said: "You should also eat some, this is celery, it can relieve hangover."

In front of Uchiha Madara, Lorna took a bite of celery politely. The crispy texture coupled with the slightly green juice was very delicious even without seasoning.

"...You are really informal." Because the environment in the greenhouse was quiet enough, Uchiha Madara could clearly hear the "crunching" sound of chewing.

"If you don't want to toast with your father later, you can go home and eat." Lorna didn't like to force people, so she used a more euphemistic way of saying: "Do you have a good drinker?"

"..." Uchiha Madara did not answer, but explained everything with practical actions.

"Why are you depressed this time? Do you need me to give you some psychological counseling?" While Uchiha Madara was chewing celery, Lorna asked casually: "You always look unhappy."

Madara Uchiha froze slightly while chewing celery, then looked at Lorna and asked, "What about you? I sometimes feel that you and I are the same kind of people, and I rarely look happy."

Perhaps because drinking makes him bolder, Uchiha Madara didn't use the honorific: "And you don't have to care about my feelings."

Especially after the trip to Damingfu, Uchiha Madara became more aware of the huge differences between him and Lorna, and believed that there should be more distance between them.

But selfishly, Uchiha Madara wanted to hear Lorna's thoughts.

After all, in the clan, he is the proud son of heaven and the future clan leader, so the clan members of his generation, including Izuna, will not say harsh words to Uchiha Madara.The only one who can communicate with Uchiha Madara on an equal footing is Senju Hashirama, and he is also a breakaway whose intelligence fluctuates greatly.

Occasionally, Uchiha Madara could hear Senju Hashirama speak very philosophical words, but more often, it was nonsense that confused him.

"To be honest, I envy your talent." Facing Lorna, Uchiha Madara had an inferiority complex that was hard to eliminate.

Maybe this sounds ridiculous. After all, he is a genius that is rare in the clan for a century and is destined to lead Uchiha to prosperity. Therefore, the emotion of "inferiority" should not appear in Uchiha Madara's DNA.

But if you think about it carefully, he is just a 16-year-old boy from the Warring States Period. He will always have worries that are difficult to resolve and trivial matters that are difficult to deal with.

Although Uchiha Madara gives people a sense of superiority and contempt for all living beings, privately he is not as arrogant as people think.Otherwise, when facing Senju Hashirama, a peer who overwhelms him, Uchiha Madara's first reaction would not be to have a close friend who could compete with him, but to kill him quickly.

"For ninjas, talent and learning are things that we cannot master in our lifetime." Not only the shackles of his origin, but also his personality, Uchiha Madara was a little embarrassed and humbly asked for advice.This also exacerbated his anxiety to a certain extent: "And compared to me, Quan Nai is more talented in family affairs."

"...Is the patriarch of your family only a tool for handling family affairs? Or is it that the patriarch of the Ninja clan only cares about the ability to handle documents." In Uchiha Madara's intermittent words, Lorna analyzed the other party's thoughts. He said bluntly: "Do you think the employer of the Ninja clan is selecting Party B... I mean, when cooperating with the Ninja clan, what is the first requirement for the leader of that clan?"

"Powerful." Uchiha Madara said without hesitation: "Overwhelmingly powerful."

After saying that, he seemed to realize something and couldn't help but widen his pupils.

"You asked a stupid question that puts the cart before the horse." Lorna said in a panic: "It is impossible for the employer and has no interest in knowing everyone in the Ninja clan, so the strength of the clan leader, to a certain extent, can be regarded as the strength of the Ninja clan. and the reference standard for average strength.”

"Just like a general who is good at using troops, he also needs an adjutant to recruit troops and handle trivial matters. If you are anxious just because Uchiha Izuna is more talented in this area, then you are undoubtedly asking a stupid question."

"As for knowledge..." Lorna looked at Uchiha Madara's face and complained: "You really have a smart face in vain. Even if knowledge is in the hands of nobles, if civilians do not have channels to obtain knowledge , how will the nobles implement the law? Who will meet their needs. Besides, you are still a ninja, wouldn't it be very simple to do that a little bit? "

"..."

"So, if you are serious, you will definitely find a way to acquire knowledge." Moreover, the success rate of nobles may not be able to meet the society's demand for talents, which is one of the reasons why the upward path for civilians has not been closed.

"Your Excellency Madara, are you really a person who feels sorry for yourself?" Lorna will also be depressed and complain about the unfairness of life, but it's useless!After complaining, there is still a lot of mess waiting to be cleaned up.It can only be said that occasional complaints can solve the psychological pressure, but cannot solve the problem itself.

And Uchiha Madara doesn't seem like a cynical person.

Lorna was more inclined to believe that he had hit a dead end and needed someone to wake him up.

"Maybe you are right, I want to do everything perfectly too much." Uchiha took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind.

"You are the leader of the Ninja clan, and you are not the mother-in-law of the Ninja clan. There is no need to do your best to feed them." Lorna added: "Your clan members are all conscious individuals, so before making a decision , think more about their position and whether your interests are aligned.”

Lorna, who rarely acts as a spiritual mentor, thinks of her human interactions in the original world.

Whether it is the difficult Jin Fulisi, the Hunters Association, where everyone is talented, or the most mysterious family, they are all Lorna's very firm partners.

Because their interests outweigh the disputes, they can maintain a stable relationship.

"Are the interests consistent?" Uchiha Madara thought of Izuna's recent actions and decided to get to know the clan members well.At least you can't be like before, focusing on pursuing strength and knowing nothing about other things, leading yourself to a dead end.

But before that, he still had to thank Lorna for allowing him to see many things clearly.

"Let's go! If you don't go back, Ichiji will have to find someone in person." Lorna, who was almost sober, yawned and walked out of the greenhouse with Uchiha Madara.

However, for the sake of their reputation, Uchiha Bara returned to his seat 3 minutes later than Lorna, and then became visibly cheerful.

"Brother Madara, did you go out to talk with Ji-kun?" The sharp-eyed Izuna took advantage of his father and the elders to tease Uchiha Madara: "What did Ji-kun say to you to make you so quick?" be happy."

"Nothing, just chatting about some worldly affairs." Uchiha Madara glanced at the main seat without showing any special expression.
