"The above is my reason."

After the narration was finished, Cheng did not get any immediate response, whether it was in favor or against.

……Do not.

Cheng thought silently.

This is probably already a fairly clear opposition.

She sighed slightly.

"I'm sorry, but such a coincidence probably won't happen again... When I made an excessive request on purpose, the client didn't immediately refuse. I can only guess that I'm probably really suitable. Candidate." Cheng Wensheng said, "The neighboring country who initiated the marriage must know the appearance of the princess and have the means to prevent ninjutsu from replacing her... Since you are an Uchiha, you should know that this is not impossible, yes Is it?"

Since the last meeting, the two parties exchanged another letter. The daimyo rejected the request of the Uchiha family to move to the central city of Fire Country, but left room for negotiation in terms of trade. Such a reaction was not unexpected. As Cheng expected, she took advantage of the trend and added detailed terms related to the content and price of bilateral transactions on the basis of stable trade relations.

It's been a long time since that letter was sent, and Cheng hasn't received a reply yet, but before she gets anxious because of it, she still has something to do...

She hasn't been able to convince Madara yet.

"What's more." Cheng paused before continuing, "I didn't think about it either... However, I have never practiced physical skills, and my physique is no different from that of ordinary girls. Favorable bargaining chips, and there are accompanying people to protect—"

"Cheng."

Spotted spoke.

"Do you know how long it will take if I want to kill the nobles under heavy guard?"

"Are you targeting the situation where the guards are all ordinary warriors?"

Cheng retorted nonchalantly.

"You don't understand," he said, "killing you is no harder than breathing, and the opposite of it is the real hard thing."

Cheng stopped talking.

Madara then quieted down, no one could see what was going on in his mind, but he quickly made his choice.

"Does that sound cruel? But that's the reality."

Madara stood up and looked down at her coldly.

"You are weak."

His voice was not full of intense emotion, but after he left, the lingering sound of these words seemed to finally dissipate in Cheng's ears.

Cheng lowered his head, and what he saw was his own, a pair of weak and plain white hands.

With such a hand, even Kunai couldn't hold it well.

They can't even protect their masters.

Not to mention taking someone's life away.

Cheng couldn't tell what kind of mood she had when she left the room, probably because she was too lost, until she was caught by the corner of her sleeve, she realized that Quan Nai was leaning against the door, and she didn't know how long she had been sitting there.

"...brother he doesn't think that way." He said, "I don't know why he said that, but we never thought you were..."

Quan Na stopped talking, Cheng tried to smile a little, took his hand, and sat down beside Quan Na.

"burden?"

"—You are not, Cheng." Quan Naishuer held her back, "You will never be."

"I, actually know this. It might be a little strange to say that, but, Senna, I didn't expect that I would have a family in this way."

Gently, Cheng looked into the opponent's eyes.

"This is a very precious happiness to me... You and Madara are people I value very much, and I understand that I am also cared about."

"Cheng...ah, sorry."

Quan Nai suddenly realized that she forgot to control her strength when holding the opponent, and quickly let go of her hand, but a clear mark was already left on the back of the girl's hand.

"However, what Madara said is correct." Cheng covered the bruise with his other hand, and when he moved it away, his skin was as white and clean as ever, "Look, Quanna, although none of us have the slightest Malicious, but sometimes weakness itself may lead to unavoidable harm, and it is so cunning..."

Cheng lightly pressed his sleeves with his hands.

"Because we are weak, we should be protected as a matter of course, so we should be considered as having no need to pay the price."

——"Quina."

she says.

"To this day, how many times have you experienced battles, and how many times have you been in crisis? You probably can't even count them yourself. During this process, I have always stayed behind safely."

"I have never experienced the pain and cruelty you have to face, not once."

"So, can I still consider myself to be your family, Quanna?"

Everything I do for you is just because you are you.

You don't have to do anything that upsets you, and that's why I've been fighting for—

Now Quanna can't say these words.

He suddenly understood that the other party's hopes and expectations were the same as his own, but the difference was that she was naturally deprived of the qualification to realize her wishes, so she had to wait and bewildered in place.

"Cheng." He whispered, "At least let me or my brother come with you..."

"As the patriarch, Madara can't leave alone for such a long time. In addition, I also know that Quanna, you have more important commissions, as well as the task of assisting Madara to guard the rear... But, whether it is you or Madara, there have been times. When I have to face it alone, I think so do I."

Quan Na fell silent, and the implied meaning was exactly the same as Madara's.

"Quinai."

But when he looked up, he saw a request in her eyes.

"Don't make me wait any longer."

I will regret it.

Quanna thought.

In fact, the moment he started to move, emotions of regret had already arisen, and they tried their best to prevent him from continuing to move.

But he found that when facing her, he was more helpless than he imagined.

Quanna could not remain indifferent to her grief, not even for a moment.

"The letter was delivered to the nearby town three days ago."

He took out a volume of letters, handed it to Cheng, and finished the next words with great difficulty.

"If you hurry up, you should be able to give the other party a reply within the agreed time."

Cheng took the letter, couldn't help staring at the other person for a while, then tore off the seal, unfolded the letter shaft, and quickly skipped a large section of empty and useless content, and went straight to the end of the letter.

There, Cheng found the terms of exchange listed by himself, and at the same time, it had the seal of the daimyo printed on it.

She closed her eyes tightly, then slowly opened them again.

"Thank you, Quanna...I'll bring you a souvenir."

Cheng said.

"Just like you do every time."

Such scenes have happened to them many times, but this time, the positions of the two exchanged.

"Ok."

Quan Nai felt a dull pain in his chest, he couldn't help feeling this feeling carefully, because this was the pain that Cheng had felt many times in the past.

"I'm waiting for you."

△△△

"Senna gave it to you?"

When she heard a voice from behind, Cheng was writing the last sentence of the letter, she paused, finished writing the last few words, and signed her name, after finishing these, she also sorted out her emotions, and Cheng turned back to meet again. When facing Madara, his expression was very pale, and he couldn't see any mood.

"Quina indulged you too much."

He said.

"is it?"

Cheng didn't look at him anymore, she turned her face away and put away the written letter.

"Why don't you think you're too controlling, Madara?"

"Cheng."

The girl turned her back to him, motionless.

"Don't worry about me anymore." She said coldly, "I don't want to be at your mercy all the time."

Madara didn't speak any more.

Cheng heard him standing there quietly for a while, then left.

She knew that the other party would not stop herself anymore.

Cheng slowly let go of his hand, and only then could he taste the taste of rust from his clenched lips just now.

At Cheng's request, the terms of exchange must take effect on the spot when accepting the entrustment. In this way, on the Uchiha side, the patriarch needs to be present to witness the establishment of the transaction, so Madara is still traveling with Cheng this time.

Along the way, the atmosphere between the two of them was very stiff, which was expected by Cheng.

The client arrived at the agreed place in advance. During the whole process of confirming the contents of the commission and the exchange conditions for the last time, Chengdu stayed quietly behind Madara like a puppet. Madara seemed to deliberately ignore her existence. No eye contact at all.

"Then from now on, the contract is established." The client said, "Please follow me, Miss Cheng."

Cheng nodded and walked forward.

One step, two steps...

"Cheng."

She stopped abruptly and turned her head, but the person who called her name just stared at her.

There was about two seconds of complete silence between them.

"spot."

Cheng said softly.

She seemed to be a puppet that was suddenly infused with soul, ran towards his direction, and threw herself into his arms.

"Madara, after today, have we taken another step towards your ideal world?"

Madara caught her, and the girl's voice trembling slightly as she tried her best to suppress her emotions.

"I'm sorry, Madara, I still can't do it, so let's say goodbye like this."

Her words fell in her ears, almost indistinguishable from crying.

"I still want to come back to you, so please don't hate me."

She shouldn't be bad at lying.

But she is such a gentle person, she probably forgot how to hurt others, and if she falls into the eyes of others, it is just a poor acting skill that can be seen through at a glance.

——And perhaps it was this that moved him.

"Just this one time," he said in a low voice, "next time your little trick won't work."

If important parts are missing, then the so-called ideal world is nothing but a failure with flaws.

therefore……

therefore.

This is his concession, but also Uchiha Madara's insistence and refusal to compromise.

"I'll wait for you to come back to me."
