Poverty Alleviation Princess

Uchiha Madara hadn't thought about the hole in his heart for a long time.

He is very busy now.

Almost from the time he told Senju Hashirama that he had a way to save ninjas from fighting to earn money, he never took a break.

On the one hand, he arranges ninja business—that is, commercial work that ninjas can do, from kangs to sweaters (he has a memory of knitting), to express delivery in the armistice zone, and various civil engineering.

What is good at earth escape, water escape, wind escape, fire escape.

Building houses, repairing roads, clearing wasteland and reclaiming fields.

Develop an industrial base in the truce zone, twisting ninjas and locals together on a hemp rope called 'interest'.

This process was not easy, but fortunately, he had a solid foundation in his heart—as if he had experienced it before.It was as if he knew what kind of world it was.

Everything is so weird, not because it's bad.

On the contrary, it was because it was too good, so good that he felt suspicious.

Does such a world really exist?

As Uchiha himself, can he really have such a life?

It's not that Uchiha Madara thinks Uchiha is bad, but because the Uchiha clan with Sharingan can be said to be born for "ninjas".They are born with better blood succession boundaries than other ninjas, and have a high starting point.Therefore, they will always stand in the most intense place of the battle, at the center of the war, and be vigilant by all ninjas.

Even if a Uchiha really just happened to pass by, the people around—whether they are ordinary people or ninjas—would not be at ease.

All because he is Uchiha.

The situation of Qianshou is probably similar.

So he has been very confused about his 'cognition', and even felt that he might have been under the illusion at some point.

It was only when he found that the information he knew was really useful now, and gradually realized what he thought could only be a dream in the past, he even began to appreciate it all.

No matter what, no matter who.

He was genuinely grateful for the fact that he had access to this information.

Only in this way, as the core output information, he became the busiest one.The lights in the room would only go out in the middle of the night every day, and before dawn the next morning, he had to go out again in a hurry.

Therefore, he didn't notice that it was already autumn until Senju Zhujian suddenly opened the window and said that he was going to take him to a celebration.

Autumn, the harvest season.

For people living in this era, this is undoubtedly the most refreshing and beautiful scenery.

Having food means that they will not starve to death in the following season.It means that they can live a stable life for quite a long time.

No matter how beautiful the mountain stream flower field is, it will not make people more happy than this.

This was the first celebration in the Armistice Zone, and everyone who stood here enthusiastically participated in it.

There are stalls on both sides of the street, and lanterns are hung on the light poles on the side of the road.

There was laughter everywhere.Even ninjas who are not good at expressing themselves can't help but let go of their tense nerves, put on ordinary clothes, and blend in quietly.

From the perspective of Senshouzhujian, this is really the most beautiful celebration in the world.So he felt that no matter what, he couldn't let his friends miss him.

However, in Uchiha Madara's view, this celebration is not satisfactory no matter how you look at it.

This celebration that everyone participated in should be bigger and more lively.Why is the ground just hastily paved, not even stone slabs?

No matter how you look at the street, it doesn't look like it has been carefully tidied up, and the stalls on both sides are also hastily erected shelves.Hasty, sloppy, some wood materials have not been cleaned of bark and thorns.It was so rough that he couldn't stand it.

Uchiha Madara is not a delicate person-what delicateness can a ninja talk about?If you can survive and complete your tasks, there is nothing you cannot accept or endure.

Living in the wind, sleeping in the open, and rolling in muddy water are all very normal things.But the celebration is different, there should be more people, more neat booths, whether it is a ninja or an ordinary person, they can be more harmoniously integrated - even the style of the street lamps on the roadside should be more refined ,Unite.

Not even enough fire buckets, no rest areas, diversions, lost property, lost children.What should I do if something goes wrong?Can people still enjoy the festivities with peace of mind?

He raised his head and looked into the distance.All I saw was an empty sky.Only wisps of golden light can be seen disappearing behind the distant mountains.

...Somewhere as far as the eye can see, there should be another building that makes people feel at ease just by looking at it.

Standing there steadily, even if only a dim outline can be seen at night, as long as it is still there, it is peace of mind.

"What's the matter, Madara, his face is so scary."

After pulling the person a few steps, Senju Zhuma noticed Uchiha Madara's increasingly dignified and dissatisfied expression.

Almost as if he was going to be angry.

"Don't you think this celebration is... simple?"

Uchiha Madara frowned, trying to suppress himself so that he didn't say the word 'bad', but changed to a milder word.

"Simplicity? How come?"

Senshou Zhujian looked around in surprise.

Surrounded by colorful stalls, many of which are goodies that can only be found in a big city.The people walking here are also wearing decent and neat clothes, with cheerful smiles on their faces... Why is it so simple?

People even generously set up street lights on the entire street, from the entrance to the exit, all are brightly lit.

Even if it's a big city, even if it's a festival in the capital, it's just like this.

Where is Madara dissatisfied?

"Madara... Well, for us, we can't ask for too much, after all, everything is just beginning..." Senju Zhuma tried to comfort her. "Think about it, last year we could only stay in the clan land, or watch the celebrations in big cities from afar on the way to the mission."

"But... no, no, maybe I really think too much."

Uchiha Madara understands the truth, but maybe the impression of such a celebration is too deep, so he is particularly unacceptable.

"I want to be alone for a while."

After he finished speaking, he left Senshou Bashirama who came with him, turned around and quickly blended into the crowd.

He walked aimlessly among the crowd.

People's smiling faces and bright lights catch the eye, and what the ears hear is the full-fledged yelling and laughter of men, women and children.Everything is as it should be in a dream.Everything is what he strives for.

But he was not satisfied.He even felt that the hole that he had forgotten before had expanded a lot unexpectedly.

It was so sudden that he was not even a little bit defensive.The whole person seems to be dragged into it and isolated from the whole world.

"What a beautiful dress."

Suddenly, a cheerful female voice came to my ears.Uchiha Madara turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and saw a short girl with black hair pointing at the clothes on the booth in front of her and talking to her companions.

"Although the light blue one is already pretty, the pink one is definitely better."

"It's almost like wearing spring on your body."

Maybe her description was too gentle, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but look at the pink dress she described.

Sure enough, under the light, the pink dress seemed to be glowing softly, just like the buds on the branches in spring.

Fresh and soft, it is the color and material that the world where ninjas live in shouldn't have.

but……

He took a few steps forward and stood in front of the clothes.

He remembered the dress.

In other words, his memory should have a dress very similar to this one.

Not for ninjas, but for...

Who is it?

Who will suit this dress.

"...We thought of a place."

In the ears, a soft and clear girl's voice suddenly sounded.

"Well, although it's not a gift, I hope you accept this."

"This is?"

He heard a low man's voice again.

"Earrings. Ah, I know that ninjas hardly wear accessories, and it's strange to give men earrings." A Yuan scratched her hair with the hand that wasn't holding the earrings. "But, just... that, when you see it, you think it looks good and it will suit you, so just..."

The girl said hesitantly, as if she was worried about something.

"Is it suitable for... me?"

Uchiha Madara murmured and repeated what the man said.Then I heard the girl screaming in panic.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

"No, the earrings are not directly stuck on like this!"

"Bleeding, bleeding!"

"Where's the tissue? Where's the handkerchief? Too bad I don't seem to have any."

The girl was panicked and anxious, and seemed to be in a hurry.

Normally speaking, when you see a girl in such a panic, it's normal to reach out to help.But Uchiha Madara knows for some reason that the man who just spoke must be motionless at the moment, watching the girl flustered intently, without any words of comfort or help.

He could even vaguely sense the man's mood at this moment.

It must be some kind of joy that even he himself has not been able to savor.It's like falling flowers across the water, and like feathers brushing across your cheeks. It's light and shallow, but it makes people nostalgic.

"Why are you...be nicer to yourself."

The girl sighed.

"It doesn't hurt."

Uchiha Madara said softly before the man's voice came, he knew the voice.

"do not worry."

He spoke again.

Yes, don't worry.

He is a ninja, no matter what kind of adversity, he is sure to break free.

No matter what he encounters, he is confident that he will not lose.

huh - huh!

Gorgeous fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky.

Although it was a different kind of fireworks than what I remembered, it still lit up the night sky in the same way.

—How could he have forgotten?

"Fireworks." He heard someone beside him shout in surprise.

How could he forget the girl who tore apart the darkness like a bright moon and sprinkled light on the earth.

"Ji Jun."

Uchiha Madara suddenly raised his hand to touch his ear.

The ear, which should be empty, has an unknown red gem on it at some point.

He remembered it all.

He is now on the way to find Ji Jun, but because he has not been able to determine the coordinates, he can only continue to follow the faint breath.

He traveled through many worlds and landed here, becoming his 'young self'.

Uchiha Madara retracted his gaze and strode out.

He has been delayed for too long, and now, he must start the journey again.

"spot!"

At the moment when Uchiha Madara walked out of the street of the celebration, the voice of a close friend suddenly came from behind him.

"Pillar Room"

He turned his head and saw his best friend standing behind him with his back to the street of the celebration.The light from the ceremony obscured the boy's silhouette, making him look like he was part of the ceremony.

"Isn't it good here?"

the boy asked.

"Isn't this the world of our dreams? Didn't we realize our dreams with great difficulty?" His face was full of puzzlement. Although there are still many imperfections, we still have plenty of time to work hard together, don’t we?”

"It's fine here."

Uchiha Madara turned his head and looked straight at his best friend.

"This is a world that we couldn't imagine when we were young, a world happier than dreams."

"Then why are you leaving?"

"...There is no her here." Uchiha Madara replied without hesitation.

"Her? Is she so important?" So important that you have to give up your dream that is within reach?

"Yes, it's more important than my life and my dreams." The black-haired boy smiled slightly, and the earrings on the side of his face were shining brightly. "What's more, she has already realized our dream, so now I have to fulfill my promise."

"...It's unimaginable." Senshou Zhujian suddenly laughed. "Since Madara has said that, it must be a very, very important person. I can't stop you either."

"But I'm a little curious. It would be great if I could meet him sometime."

"You've seen it before." Uchiha Madara blinked narrowly suddenly.

"Eh? Eh? Is that so? I've seen it?"

"Yeah, I've seen it more than once, it's just two of you in another world."

"Madara, you've turned bad." The boy complained. "But in this way, the other me is really cunning, how can you not take me?"

He had his hips akimbo, as if really angry with his other self.

"Well...maybe only you can answer it yourself."

"How can this be answered?"

Qianshou Zhujian walked over, he raised his hand and clenched it into a fist: "Then, you must get what you want."

Uchiha Madara clenched his fist and touched his fist lightly.

"Yes." Definitely, yes.

Uchiha Madara turned and left, running farther and farther with his back to the celebration.Gradually leave everything behind.

"elder brother."

Just when he was about to throw everything away, Quanna's voice sounded.

"Are you here to stop me too?"

Uchiha Madara looked softly at his younger brother when he was a boy.

"If I say yes, will you stop?" The black-haired boy came up and looked at him with a face very similar to Madara Uchiha.

"will not."

Uchiha Madara didn't want to deceive his brother.

"So, I'm actually here to deliver a message."

Quanna smiled slightly.

"Father is still a bit awkward, so he entrusted me to pass on the message... Really, he obviously loves his brother, but he can't keep his face." Quan Nai blinked, showing a 'you understand' expression, "Maybe as long as a Ri is the head of the Uchiha clan, so let him be like this for a day."

"I know."

"Okay, let's get down to business." Quan Na put away her shakiness, and took her brother's hand seriously.

"He said 'this time, just do what you want'. Of course, that's what I wanted to say too." Quanna let go of her hand and took a few steps back, "Not as a Uchiha ninja, do it What Uchiha Madara wants to do."

"I see." Uchiha Madara closed his eyes, "You have to take care too."

"Of course." The boy's eyes were red, but he still had a bright smile, "This time, we will all be good."

"what."

As the voice fell, Uchiha Madara left.

"You should have seen this scene."

"Looking at him doing what you thought was impossible, now, it's time for him to get what he wants."

--strangeness.

what happened?

The gem that strange Ji Jun gave me suddenly disappeared.

yeah?how come?Look for it again, it is very expensive, and it is the evidence of the mission that Ji Jun gave us. We don't know when she will appear again next time.

... I think she may not appear again.

Why do you say that?Did Ji Jun tell you anything before?

No, just a faint hunch.

Having got what she desires, she no longer needs to wander around looking for it.

He faintly had such a premonition.

"cousin!"

A Yuan did hear Cain's voice, and she also realized the reality that the ground was collapsing.

He even saw the skull floating towards him.

Not good, big things are not good.

But it's a bit late.

Her body has fallen down together with the skull.

She could see Cain's panicked face, and she could also see Giotto rushing towards her, but they were all a bit short.She might really be in disaster this time...

Ok?

A hand suddenly grabbed her arm, leaving her suspended in mid-air.

She looked up along the arm, and saw Arnold, who was expressionless, grasping the broken ground with one hand, and holding himself who fell down with the other.

"Arnold!"

She called out the other person's name, and then saw the young man showing an indifferent expression of "what else".

——It’s really a familiar performance.

She said that she saw Arnold's figure before, and she was right.

"Don't move." Arnold frowned, then pulled her up with his arms.

But the skeletons that fell together will not let them get what they want.

She was just below Ah Yuan, and the black and red scattered away, forming a huge vortex below it.

Although it is still unknown what that power is, no one doubts its danger.

If it falls, it will be 100% bad luck.

"Your power...is delicious."

A void and malicious female voice suddenly sounded.The two eye sockets that should have been empty were suddenly filled with black and red light, and even the shriveled mouth seemed to crack a smile.

"This body is much better than I imagined... Ah, what a wonderful power! This is the flower of evil that blooms in the world!"

She let out a sharp laugh, and then, countless arrow-like black-red tentacles rushed out of the vortex below.Although giotto tried his best to stop it, the power dominated by women this time was much stronger than before.

Some were blocked, but more eroded the ice and continued upward.

And A Yuan, who was suspended in the air, had no chance to escape.

Seeing that the black and red sharp arrow was getting closer and might pierce his body in the next second, A Yuan closed his eyes for the first time when facing danger.

But the expected pain did not appear.

……what?

She opened her eyes, only to see a piece of clear, burning blue.Then, I felt my waist was wrapped by a strong arm.

In the ears, there are warm breaths and familiar voices:

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"I'm here, Ji Jun."
