[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

Cheng moved the books and scrolls to the yard and spread them out in the sun. She heard the rustling of the bushes, as if a bird had just passed through the dense forest. When she looked up again, she saw Tokina standing on a high branch. Looking at her against the light, his silver hair was finally coated with a light warm color under the sunlight.

"Good day." She greeted him with a smile, "If you don't count the time you sent me back yesterday... this is the first time you have come here to find me."

She was right, although later on, he did not shy away from contacting the Uchiha clan, but unless necessary, Tomona seldom came to the Uchiha settlement... let alone the residence of Madara and Quanna.

Although Cheng is also here.

Unfortunately, she is here too.

But as far as today's situation is concerned, this matter has to be expressed in another way:

If necessary, Qianshou Feijian will not hesitate to come to Cheng's side, even if there are people or things he doesn't like to deal with.

He jumped down from the door and landed in front of her.

"How are you feeling today?"

"It's... recovering so-so, right?" She said in a brisk tone with no flaws, "It seems that the symptoms don't happen all the time, as long as you are more careful..."

It won't be a problem to support it for a while, right?

He stared at her for a while.

"Let's go to elder brother. If there is any damage, it will be faster to use the Palm Immortal Technique."

"It's not such a serious illness, I'm just..." She showed a little shyness, "I'm impatient with pain, and I just like to act like a baby. What's more, I am a medical ninja myself."

"Then get well soon."

Tobima's expression looked a bit helpless, but he seemed to be convinced.

"I'm going back."

"Wait, Feijian." Cheng said, "Are you still busy with 'ying'?"

"Yeah, after all Election Day is tomorrow."

"It will indeed be very busy... It will be fine if it goes well."

The girl waved to him.

"Goodbye, Tobima, take good care of yourself."

"...You are the one." Fei Jian easily jumped onto the wall, he paused for a moment, then turned his head and said to Cheng, "I will come to see you again when the work is over."

"Then I'm afraid it will be after the election ceremony?" She chuckled, "But... okay, I will wait for you."

After Tomona left, Cheng repeated it in a low voice.

"It would be great if... it could go well."

Cheng bent down, unwrapped scrolls that had been sealed for a long time, and said to himself.

"Well, out of selfishness, I still hope that the person who becomes Hokage is Madara, although this work may be a bit hard..."

If he becomes Hokage, there are so many things to protect, will he get more power to support him to move on.

"It's a good thing to be busy, and you won't remember the unhappy things too much."

she murmured.

If it was Madara who became the shadow, Hashirama would definitely accept this result happily. If Togama, it shouldn't matter if Hashirama is there. Quanna... Quanna can also help her brother wholeheartedly...

"Cheng."

"Quanna?" Cheng asked in surprise, "Why would you..."

Quanna stepped forward and put her hand on her forehead.

"Are you sick?" He felt the body temperature for a while, then lowered his head and asked the girl, "It seems that you don't have a fever..."

Cheng subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she thought for a while and changed her mind.

"That's right... To put it simply, it's temporary meridian pain caused by excessive use of Chakra—didn't you and Madara also have it when you were young?"

Then she naturally changed the subject.

"However, how do you know?"

"Because someone saw the guy in the door to send you back."

Quanna's expression became a little uneasy, if it was normal, Cheng would probably laugh because of it.

"...Quina."

Just today, she asked earnestly.

"Do you still hate Tobuma... A little bit is fine, can you try to live in peace with him?"

"... Cheng?"

"Although he looks cold and tough, he is not a person who will not be moved by emotion, even if he has done it because of the opposing position in the past—"

"Cheng."

Quanna grabbed Cheng's hand firmly and interrupted her.

"Why did you say that all of a sudden?" He looked nervously into Cheng's eyes, "Did something happen?"

"……Do not."

Cheng was startled for a moment, and then realized his aggressiveness.

She tried her best to smile, moved her fingers slightly, and held Quan Nai instead.

"It's nothing, it's just that Hokage's selection is imminent. No matter what the result is, I hope that you and Tobima can... stop being so tit-for-tat."

"I promise you."

He replied without hesitation.

Seeing Cheng raise her head in surprise, Quanna continued talking.

"No matter what kind of grievances I have with that guy, I won't let this become a rift in Konoha, so I don't need you to do anything to make up for it...No more, Cheng."

Please rely on me.

"Be a little more willful for your own affairs."

"...Quina."

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, leaned forward, and quickly hugged him, just like she used to do when she was a child.

"Actually, I seem to have always acted according to my own ideas, and I have been forcing people around me to compromise for my wishes... Sorry, I am such a willful person."

"No, Cheng, I don't think—"

Quan Nai was eager to refute, but Cheng let go of him, she slipped from his arms, and leaned against the courtyard pillar before losing her balance, she seemed to want to hug her shoulders, but Cheng endured it this time The pain that made her want to curl up.

For at least a moment, Quanna panicked, he wanted to reach out to her, but before he could touch her, Cheng made a sound.

"Izuna, I feel a little pain."

She told him, sounding fairly calm.

"Can you help me get the medicine box?"

Quanna quickly calmed down.

"I'll be back soon."

Out of Quanna's line of sight, Chengcai slowly stretched her ten fingers, and blood oozes from the place where her palm was cut by a nail, Cheng is not unaware of this, but she can't spare her energy to care about this inconspicuous little wound... …This time the feeling was more obvious, the scars caused at that time were slowly returning to her body little by little.

Cheng tried her best to use the healing power, but it only delayed the process a little.

She is no stranger to the death experience, but she has never experienced such a long and continuous pain, and has never felt so clearly the process of loss of vitality.

But in any case, she must survive the election ceremony——

"Cheng!"

Cheng quickly closed the traces of her palms, took the medicine box, took out the medicine box from inside, turned her back, covered her face with her sleeves, and swallowed with her neck up.

Fortunately for her, the medicine took effect quickly, Cheng relaxed and slowly closed the medicine box.

"Does it seem like I've made a fuss?" She asked Quan Nai, frowning slightly distressed, "In Quan Nai's opinion, this must be nothing, but I really feel pain..."

Cheng met the opponent's eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm fine—by the way, did Quanna come to visit me specially?"

"……Um."

He nodded.

"Everyone is very busy recently, it seems that it has been a long time since I have been with you like this." She said, "So is Kazuma."

"Brother... because Shinobi villages from other countries were invited to witness on the day of the election, so he is carrying out security and defense work in advance for this." Quanna complained, "Hashirama is not afraid of this kind of thing that needs to take risks. Be extra persistent."

"I want to see Madara."

Quan Nai was taken aback by Cheng's rare resolute tone, he looked at the other party, and the girl turned her head and smiled at him.

"I know it's going to bother him..."

"But you said, I can be willful, right?"

"So you brought her here..."

Madara sighed.

"Quanna, let's say it before, you can't always indulge her."

"But brother..."

"Even if Quanna doesn't want to, I will come by myself." Cheng said, "You know I will do this, Madara?"

Madara glanced at her helplessly, then turned her head away, based on Quanna's understanding of her brother, he knew it meant a compromise.

Although she is still a little worried about Cheng's body, she should be fine if she stays here.

"Then, I'll take over the guard duty first."

After saying goodbye to the two, Quan Nai, who was about to go to the task handover site, habitually grasped the knife hanging on his waist, but found nothing, and then remembered that the weapon he used was left in the yard.

He would never have made such a mistake.

However, apart from what Quan Nai couldn't deny, that the village he saw built up did make him gradually let go of his vigilance, Cheng's affairs always made him unable to keep calm.

In short, go back and get it first.

Thinking of this, Quanna turned and ran in the direction she came and went.

For a short time after Quanna left, there was silence between Sumina and Madara.

Since Madara lost control that time, the relationship between them has gradually become turbulent, far from being as clear as it appeared in front of Quanna.

Then, it was Madara who took the initiative to distance himself.

"spot……"

Facing him like this, Cheng originally wanted to say something, but other concerns quickly made her change her mind.

As far as the present... and future situation is concerned, she seems to have no position to restore this estranged situation.

So she changed what she was going to say.

"What do you think about the 'Shadow' thing, Madara?"

"..."

Before that, Hashirama had discussed this issue with him many times.

In the end, they reached a consensus that——

"Hashirama and I will never give in to each other."

Madara said.

"So, no matter what the final result is, neither side can leave grudges."

"Really." Cheng's expression became a little softer, "Then I don't have anything to worry about."

She paused and continued.

"Madara, the recent me, I often think about the past."

Cheng looked out of the window, she fixed her hair, the sun quietly flowed through her hair and fingertips, her eyes were gentler than the sun.

"When we were children, my wish was that you and Quanna could protect themselves on the battlefield... Later, I hope that we and Senju will no longer be hostile and fight."

She paused.

"There were a lot of things in the middle, but fortunately, they were all realized one by one after all."

"What about the future?"

Ban asked incredulously.

"Now you, what kind of future do you want to see?"

"What about the future..."

She pondered slowly.

"It would be great if Madara would be Hokage, but in fact, the result is not that important. In short, as long as you and Hashirama are here, no matter whether it is smooth or not, Konoha will definitely grow..."

"Quenna and Tobima may not like each other for a long time, and it is probably difficult for them to get along in harmony... But they are all people who are worth relying on, whether it is to the tribe or to Konoha."

"certainly……"

finally she said.

"Actually, Konoha itself is not all of my wishes. A child can run freely in the sun, and people from different ninja clans don't need to guard against each other. A place where a better tomorrow is born—"

"A place where people I love can find peace and happiness."

"Maybe that's what I've been hoping for."

It was still bright.

Quan Nai picked up the knife and looked up at the sky. The sun was still shining brightly, but dusk was only an hour or two away.

In such densely forested areas, the air inevitably becomes damp after sunset.

So, he took Cheng's books in the yard back to her room, recalling the place where she kept the books, Quan Nai opened Cheng's cabinet.

He probably misremembered the location, and what was put there was not a book or notes.

However, he is also no stranger to them.

"... She still keeps these well."

Quanna remembered each of them, from the faded clay dolls to the gem-studded hairpins.

Each of them represents one of his long journeys. These long journeys are often associated with killing. He almost made the farewell more than once, but when he saw them again, what Quan Nai recalled was all Goodbye to that girl.

When he noticed, he couldn't help but smile.

Quan Nai opened another compartment of the cabinet, this time it was correct, and he put away the books properly for Cheng.

After doing this, Quanna closed the cabinet door, but it was stuck by a corner of the medical box. He found that Cheng hadn't closed the medical box properly, so he opened it again, arranged the contents neatly, and then fastened it.

For some reason, when Quan Nai was about to close the cabinet door again, his movements stopped, and his eyes lingered on the medicine box for a while.

He suddenly had a little imperceptible uneasiness in his heart, but he really couldn't grasp the clue for a while.

After all, this tiny wave did not set off a stormy sea at this time.

Senna closed the cabinet door and left.

Madara walked to the place she had just stood, and looked at the scenery she had just seen.

He saw the sun falling on half of the street, and a few children ran out from the shade of the trees laughing. On the side, at the junction of light and darkness, two ninjas with different family emblems were talking to each other.

All of this seems to be moving forward according to the future she hopes for, which is probably also Madara's wish...

No.

Madara suddenly realized what made him feel inconsistent. At this moment, the peaceful scene in front of his eyes faded and peeled off.

Chung's wish, somewhere, was completely different from Madara's.

"Cheng, why..."

Why in the future you describe...

Where is there no place for you?
