[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

"This will be a crucial step, Madara." Hashirama said, "The new daimyo of the Fire Nation doesn't seem to be such a stubborn person. If we can successfully get the recognition of the Fire Nation, then we, as well as the ninja who will defect to us in the future, will all No need to keep hiding in the dark."

His eyes were shining brightly.

"Madara, maybe in the near future, our children will live a completely different life from ours—— Madara!"

"I already understand, let's calm down for now."

Madara showed a slightly disgusted expression, but the excitement of his best friend really infected him. The future described by Hashirama was the dream of the two since they were young... Now, they can actually touch the outline of this dream.

However, Madara has not forgotten that Hashirama has always been the one who is accidentally overly optimistic among the two.

"The negotiation with the daimyo is going smoothly, don't forget that this is the premise of everything, Hashirama."

"In any case, the daimyo has accepted the request for negotiation—and, he even decided to use our village as the meeting place, and it is said that he wants to make a decision after inspecting it himself."

Hashirama said with a smile.

"You are, don't be too nervous."

"Madara, why are you always frowning?"

Probably because the recent battles are not intensive. After turning the biggest enemy into an ally, the intensity of the battle has also dropped significantly. The number of times Madara used the kaleidoscope Sharingan dropped sharply. Be lighter.

"Smile?"

"..."

Madou gently held the girl's fingers and clasped them by his side.

"Do you think it will go well, Cheng?"

"Well, it will be fine."

Chung's answer was so quick and without hesitation that Madara smiled.

"Dare to say, I obviously haven't thought about it."

"I've thought about it." She said, "In my opinion, we've already done what we can. For the rest, it's enough to believe that things will develop in a good direction. In addition..."

Cheng turned his face away.

"Tell me what worries you."

Madara thought for a moment, then spoke.

"I investigated the matter of the previous daimyo because..."

He concealed the reason, but Cheng realized that it had something to do with him... It seems that the experience and her concealment did not let Madara let go of his doubts, and he still used his own way to find the truth.

So she simply said.

"It's over, Madara, the previous daimyo is dead."

"If not, I'll make him pay the price."

Spotted said lightly.

"All in all, I don't think the so-called daimyo can be easily trusted... Besides, I found in my investigation that the death of the previous daimyo is closely related to the current daimyo, and the replacement should be the result of a coup d'état. The current daimyo was originally Just the son of a general with a fairly thin blood relationship to his predecessor, and until recently, he was just getting the situation under control."

"Madara, this is not bad news." She laughed. "For a daimyo who has yet to gain a foothold, even in name, is it an attractive choice to include the power of ninjas?"

"As a direction of thinking, this is too positive."

Madaraben wanted to flick Cheng's forehead, but caught her looking up, looking at him wholeheartedly, and unconsciously softened, just stroked her hair.

He sighed inconspicuously.

"Just as it is difficult for us to trust him, can the young daimyo trust us?"

"Whether the opponent will accept it or fear the power of the ninja is still unknown."

Cheng rested his chin and looked up at Feijian, who noticed her gaze and asked.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing..." she replied, "Tobima and Madara said about the same thing."

"..."

Tobuma's mood became a little complicated.

"This is the reality, and it is normal to have similar considerations."

"I can understand, whether it's Hashirama-sama's thoughts, or yours and Madara's point of view." Cheng looked out the window, "In short, what kind of consideration the other party will have can only be known after actual contact... ..."

She looked at the buildings in the distance that were mostly covered by trees. It was used as a place for meetings and receptions. Hashirama and Madara had probably met the daimyo there, if they hadn't spent too long exchanging pleasantries. On the surface, there should be negotiations on the establishment of Ninja Village at this moment.

"My name..."

She muttered to herself.

"Speaking of which, the memory related to the daimyo doesn't seem to be pleasant..."

"It won't happen again."

Tobuma said calmly as if she remembered the same thing as her.

"After the alliance between Senju and Uchiha, the Nation of Fire can no longer maintain a situation where we can check and balance each other. In this way, the other party has to estimate the cost in advance before making a move."

Cheng blinked and stared at the door for a long time, she didn't laugh until he started to feel uncomfortable.

"I suddenly felt that there was at least one thing the daimyo did wrong..."

——"I mean, let me meet Togama."

Fei Jian opened his eyes wide, and subconsciously turned his gaze to her, but when he touched the smile in her eyes, the tips of his ears immediately burned, and he couldn't help turning his face away again.

"If I hadn't met Tobuma there, there would probably be more detours in the matter of forming an alliance."

Cheng seemed to interpret the avoidance of his gaze as suspicion, she walked towards the door and grabbed his sleeve.

"This is the truth—if the one who met me hadn't been Tobuma, I would never have seen the day of the alliance come, right?"

"I also……"

Tobuma said in a low voice, but Cheng didn't hear it clearly, she leaned over, trying to see Tobuma's expression, and Tobuma turned her face just at this moment, so their eyes happened to meet together.

"It was great meeting you...and taking you from there."

Cheng was slightly taken aback, bending his eyes into lovely crescents.

"So, this time it will go well."

When Tomona was about to speak, he suddenly sensed the approach of a third person. He raised his head, and sure enough, someone came in from the window. Tomona recognized that it was a ninja who usually followed Hashirama to help with chores.

He immediately turned serious, and the other party quickly explained his purpose.

"Tobima-sama, I'm here to deliver a message for Hashirama-sama and Madara-sama—the daimyo wants to see Miss Cheng."

He paused and continued.

"However, to see or not to see is completely up to Ms. Cheng's own wishes."

When the other party proposed that he wanted to meet a girl named Cheng among the Uchiha clan, Hashirama didn't even have time to think about how the daimyo who was far away in the capital knew of Cheng's existence before, and he walked beside him a little nervously. Madara glanced at him, and quickly refused.

"That kid has nothing to do with what we're discussing."

"Please don't be nervous, I have no other intentions." The young man called daimyo was sitting upright, but he didn't seem to be offended by Hashirama's attitude, "It's just a meeting...we have a little relationship some origins."

"Do not……"

Hashirama still wanted to refuse, but was unexpectedly stopped by Madara wielding his sleeves.

"Sure enough."

He stared at the daimyo, and the great sense of oppression contained in those dark eyes would probably feel daunting even for experienced ninjas.

But the other party just dodged for a moment out of subconscious self-protection at the beginning, and then forced himself to face this terrible pressure.

Bud said slowly.

"I understand."

"But, Madara..."

"Cheng, she cannot be regarded as an irrelevant person." Madara said, "I might not think so before, but now..."

After going through all kinds of things, although his original intention of protecting her remained the same, he also changed to a certain extent because of her.

Probably because Uchiha Madara finally saw her strength in a role other than a protector.

The puzzlement on Hashirama's face gradually melted away, he gestured slightly to the window, and a ninja appeared there instantly.

"Go tell Madara what you mean, and let Cheng make his own decision."

After doing all this, their attention finally returned to the important person in this negotiation.

This episode made the atmosphere a little tense.

"It's really curious, what kind of girl is that?"

The one who chooses to break the silence first is the daimyo.

"I can feel that she is someone who is cherished and protected, but at the same time, she has gained your trust..."

"In my opinion, that child is an amazing person who is not limited by age, identity and strength, but has tolerance and a strong heart."

Hashirama replied readily.

"But she's engaged, so—"

At this moment, someone knocked lightly on the door, and the attendants beside Daming suddenly became nervous.

"It should be Cheng."

The daimyo nodded, the guard retreated behind him, and Hashirama gave the knocker permission to enter.

But the one who opened the door was Tobima.

He quickly scanned the room, and after making a quick judgment, he turned his face and glanced behind him, and then Cheng came out from behind him.

Tobima followed her, and they stopped beside Hashirama and Madara respectively.

The first time he saw Cheng, Daimyo seemed to be in a daze, and he couldn't help but leaned forward and reached out to her.

"Qingzi..."

"Who are you to Princess Qingzi?"

It wasn't until he heard her voice that Daimyo woke up from his trance, and put his hands back into his sleeves.

"Excuse me, you really look alike." He said, "I'm Qing Zi's fiancé."

"That's right."

Cheng revealed a shallow smile.

"Although I have never gotten along with Princess Qingzi, I think she must admire you very much."

Otherwise, that proud girl would not have died so resolutely.

"Yeah... just like I adore her." Daimyo fell into memories, "Qing Zi, although she is spoiled, she is a very simple person... Because she hates seeing destruction and bloodshed, she has always hated war. "

"So, is that what you came here for?"

Cheng asked softly.

The other party seemed a little surprised.

"...Yes, you are indeed a perceptive person." He replied, "Everyone should also have some understanding of the current situation in the Land of Fire—in a word, I don't want to have another conflict with the Land of Fire before it recuperates." The wars in neighboring countries, in order to do this, the Fire Nation needs enough force to deter neighboring countries..."

"And after being here in person, I'm even more sure."

Said the daimyo.

"Build up your ninja village, it doesn't matter if you do it with great fanfare, it would be great to attract different ninjas to join, under the protection of the Nation of Fire... at the same time become the power of the Ninja of Fire."

"At least at this stage, our purpose is the same."

"For the sake of... the brief peace we can get."

"Madara! I—"

"Okay, don't cry here."

Although the two of them are on a high rock wall and there are no other people around, the overflowing emotion of Hashirama still makes Madara feel...

"However, our dream is finally coming true!"

"It's too early to say that..."

"Madara!" Probably because he was too excited, Hashirama didn't take Madara's cold water to heart at all, "Up to now, Ninja Village has no name, why don't you come and get one?!"

Madara looked down from the stone wall, and he had a panoramic view of the entire village surrounded by the forest.A green leaf fell just at this moment, and Madara reached out and held it between his fingers.

"Konoha." He said, "Let's call it Konoha Ninja Village."

Hashirama showed a subtle expression: "Madara, this is so straightforward..."

"Hashirama—!"

"No, no, no, I'm not dissatisfied. Rather, I think the name contains Madara's enthusiasm!" Hashirama patted Madara's shoulder twice, "It means endless life like Konoha! I can't tell Madara, you are still such a heroic and passionate man!"

"..."

"Ah! In fact, Madara also wanted to cry with gratitude. I didn't think about it. It's all because I stayed here that Madara couldn't cry, right?"

"Between the pillars..."

"From today onwards, our village will be called Muye Village. I will tell everyone about it!" He laughed and said, "Then I'll take a step first, goodbye!"

The friend who didn't listen to others jumped off the stone wall on his own, and his figure disappeared in the woods, Madara felt a little powerless.

He set his eyes in the distance and unexpectedly caught Cheng's figure.

Just as Madara was about to go to her, another person walked up to her first.

It is the room of thousands of hands.

Madara stopped his steps and stood still in place.

Because the other party almost took Cheng's life, Uchiha Madara hated Senju Tobema, but...

He saw Cheng smiling at Feijian, and then the man took her hand, Cheng didn't refuse.

However, Cheng's thoughts are the most important...

——Do I really think so?

There was a restless voice in Madara's heart.

Then, he saw another Senju ninja find Higama, and after they had a brief conversation, Higama looked at Cheng, Cheng nodded, and then Higama let go of her hand, saying a farewell if.

Cheng waved at his leaving back, and headed in the opposite direction.

Madara just looked at her quietly.

He watched her walk slowly across the street corner, watched her smile and talk to the children, watched her pass by the flower tree, brushing the broken petals from her shoulders.

A gust of wind suddenly blew by, and he saw her long hair being lifted up, and the hair tie slipped from the tip of her hair, and was gently swept away by the wind.

Madara made a mudra with his right hand, and a chakra transformed into a black bird flew out of his sleeve.

It circled a few times above the newly named Konoha, then caught up with the wind, grabbed the hairband, and flew back to the stone wall.

Madara took the headband, and the black bird landed on his shoulder.

He looked down at the headband and saw that it was the same color as a recent bloom.

Sometimes humans are naturally resistant to questioning our inner self, some out of fear, some out of cowardice, but Madara is neither.

He just doesn't want to do it.

This is probably because he has seen his heart clearly.

Some feelings, if they are too indulgent, will soon develop to the point of being irresistible, so he chooses self-repression and self-restraint... But it is at this time that Madara can best realize that it is real.

——At such a moment, Madara can feel that he is indeed, in love with her.

He handed the headband to Blackbird.

"Give it back to her."

Because she lost the hair tie that bound her hair, Cheng picked up her long hair in a bit of trouble so that they would not unravel.

"Where did you get blown to..."

Her eyes wandered around, and suddenly she heard the sound of wings flapping closer and closer.

Cheng looked up and saw a black bird flying towards her with her headband in its mouth. It landed beside her. Cheng squatted down and stretched out his hand to it. The black bird jumped forward twice and put the headband in her hand. Rubbing her fingers.

Then, the power that made up its body was scattered and disappeared.

"Is it Chakra?"

Cheng wrapped the hair band between her fingers and stood up. She looked towards the direction where the bird was flying, and at the end of her line of sight was a towering stone wall...

But Cheng didn't see any shadow of anyone there.
