I don't want to dance

In the past two months, as soon as the first sentence that existed between each other was uttered, the entire space seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere around them was full of invisible chills.

Obviously feeling Madara's murderous aura gushing out in an instant, there was no fear or vigilance in the door, but he spoke calmly and slowly:

"It's not some bluff I'm trying to comfort you or try to keep you from doing something extreme, you know,? I don't have to or want to do that to you."

"To tell you the truth, last winter, Mingyin came to me privately, and made a deal with me... She promised, as long as she is here, she will do her best to ensure that you will not do anything' Harm' things to the village, and in exchange,? I need to research a special ninjutsu for her that can break through time and space."

"That's right, she basically told me her secrets... She came from another time and space,? And the dry ancient well in the Uchiha family cemetery seems to have a special energy that connects the two time and space,? She took me there The reason why she did this is to consider the way out for you, to save the last card for you, she said, if one day there is no room for you in this world, or this The world is so painful that you don’t want to face it anymore, then she will take you back to her time and space.”

"Not long before the incident, I gave her a preliminary researched test item, which was a special Kunai with a time-space spell branded with my Chakra. After that full moon night... I I found that my chakra disappeared. So,? It is not ruled out that she was carrying the kunai with her, and the space-time charm was triggered at that moment, and she traveled back to her original time-space. Haven't found her bones? Of course, this is only a possibility, and it is a possibility with a small probability."

Having said all that should be said, I also did not forget to emphasize that this is just his guess, as for what Madara will think and do...that is Madara's own business.

But Madara's reaction was beyond his expectation.

Madara seemed to have no emotion in her body, she was neither excited and joyful because she seemed to rekindle hope, nor angry and painful because she recalled that nightmarish night again, she just looked up at the full moon again in the sky:

"never mind."

Tomona frowned and looked at Madara who said such words, not understanding what the words meant, did she no longer care about that woman's life or death?Although he has always disliked the Uchiha clan, he has to admit that Uchiha has never been a heartless person, and even Uchiha knows love better than anyone else, is more persistent in love, and is more unbearable in the pain of losing love.

Madara looked back at the full moon in the sky, and hid all her emotions in that glance:

"Even if she is still alive, I will not go to another time and space to find her back... because this world is not what she wants to see, and it is meaningless to her."

And one day, I will create a truly peaceful world and give it back to her.

……

The weather is getting colder day by day, the short autumn will soon pass, and another winter will come, and the second year of Konoha will come to an end in this cold winter.

The meeting place of the Uchiha clan, where all the clansmen gather.

It was supposed to be a routine summary meeting at the end of each year, but after hearing the words the patriarch said at the beginning, the whole room erupted in an instant after the silence.

[One day, Konoha will not have a place for Uchiha, I want to take you out of here, are you willing to leave with me? 】

Seeing the Uchihas in the room glaring at him angrily, listening to their stern reprimands to him, Madara just looked indifferent.

This situation is expected.

Uchiha is no longer the proud and glorious Uchiha.

Perhaps at the end of the Warring States Period, the moment when he was defeated by Senju, "Uchiha" was over.

"Now everyone has managed to have a peaceful life again. Isn't it good to live in the village well? Why do you want to stir up disputes again, patriarch?!"

"That is, if we leave the village and go to other places, we will serve as mercenaries for other countries or Ninja Village. If we are in Konoha, we are still one of the founding families of the village!"

"Don't keep saying that it is to protect us, Uchiha Madara, you can't even protect your own brother and your own woman, so stop talking about those high-sounding big words!"

A group of clansmen originally only opposed this decision, but when someone took the lead and brought the topic to Madara himself, it seemed as if a gap had been opened for the long-standing dissatisfaction with Madara, and all of them spewed out at this moment.

Listening to the accusations of the clansmen, Madara still looked indifferent, as if he was watching a group of stupid and arrogant clowns.

Until someone blurted out:

"Patriarch, do you want to waste Master Mingyin's sacrifice!"

As soon as this remark came out, Madara, who had been silent all this time, finally let out a sneer, and the Gouyu in his eyes turned wildly and sadly into the lines of a kaleidoscope, and the blood red in his eyes seemed to turn into blood beads and overflow from his eye sockets in the next second :

"Sacrifice? Yes, this time, Konoha chose to sacrifice her for the sake of the so-called 'big picture'; maybe one day in the future, when the 'big picture' needs to be taken care of again, the whole Uchiha will be sacrificed family."

……

This was the first time that the clan members spontaneously left angrily without the clan leader announcing the dismissal of the meeting.

In the end, in the empty room, under the hanging Uchiha clan emblem, there was only Madara left.

There is nothing to be disappointed, he had expected that the tribe would not leave with him, didn't he?

And he finally gave the clansmen such a chance to choose, just to fulfill the entrustment of his father and Quan Nai to him.

After all, he was left alone.

Well, he can let go and do what he should do without any scruples.

The room was silent, Madara slowly got up and walked out.

When he opened the door and saw the little guy standing outside, he was not surprised.

"Have you heard that?" Madara raised an eyebrow.

Uchiha Setsuna couldn't wait to say, "Uncle, I will leave with you!"

Looking at this little face that resembled his younger brother's childhood, Madara finally showed a faint smile on his face that hadn't shown any soft emotions for a long time.

He put his hand on Setsuna's head and rubbed it:

"No, you stay."

"Why?! I'm different from those guys, I'll always be on your side, uncle! I'll go wherever you go..." Moment of panic, the fear of being left behind.

"The road I'm going to take next is a desperate road, and it will probably be very long. So, either, all the Uchihas will follow me, or I will be the only one who leaves. The original intention of this village , I just want to protect the young children so that they don’t have to suffer from wars in troubled times. Although the village has begun to deviate from the track, it seems that the role of protection is still there, and children can still Live well here."

Madara, who had already made up his mind, rejected Setsuna's request. It was impossible for him to take a young child and sleep in the open air with the identity of a traitor. Setsuna just needs to wait quietly in this temporarily peaceful Konoha, waiting. He followed the teachings of the Sages of the Six Paths to bring the day of true peace to this world.

and……

"Sha Mo, take care of yourself. Since Ah Yin has tried her best to save you, she must hope to see you have a safe and successful life, so... let's live here well."

When Madara got up to leave and went back to the room to leave the travel bag, Setsuna was still in a daze, unable to recover and accept for a long time.

Until night fell and the full moon hung high again, Jing returned to the clan after completing the task with the team, heard what happened at the clan meeting today, came to the door of the assembly room, and saw still sitting silently. Moments there.

Sensing the approach of the mirror, Setsu's face still didn't show the slightest fluctuation, and he just spoke mechanically:

"You came back after completing the mission... Is it very pleasant to be with those who accepted the will of the Senju family? No, you are also one of the members who accepted that will. Now you are just a Uchiha It's just a thousand hands of blood."

"In an instant..." Jing felt that something was wrong, and the gap between them seemed to widen in an instant to the point that it could no longer be bridged.

Finally, Shu Na turned his head slowly, the moonlight reflected his blood-red eyes that opened suddenly, and a black jade jade mixed with love and hate emerged:

"It's your freedom if you want to accept the ideas of the Senju family, but I will always be Uchiha Setsuna of the Uchiha family."

……

The breath of cold winter is getting stronger and stronger, and the new year is coming quietly.

However, no one noticed that on this winter New Year's evening, under the setting sun, a person who had devoted all his enthusiasm, hopes, and dreams for the rest of his life to this village left alone.

The first snow of the new year covered the entire village, and the village covered in silver added to the chill.

The light reflected by the white snow and the laughter of children playing snowball fights on the street outside woke up Hashirama, who had stayed up all night in the office, sat up straight on the table lying on his stomach, rubbed his temples that were still aching, and recalled Dreaming about the dream I just had.

In the dream, on a snowy night, in a small tavern in the village, he and Madara drank together, even having a good time, just like when they drank to their heart's content last winter.However, when he filled his glass again and wanted to clink glasses with Blake, he raised his head, only to find that the person sitting opposite had disappeared.

Just when Hashirama was reminiscing about the dream and feeling a little uneasy, there was a knock on the office door.

"What's the matter, Tobuma?" Hashirama rarely saw his younger brother's face so serious, and his hands holding the teacup tightened unconsciously.

Frowning tightly, the thing he was most worried about finally happened:

"Uchiha Madara, left the village."

A crack seemed to emerge from the porcelain teacup in his hand.

……

At the beginning of Konoha's third year, Uchiha Madara, one of the founders of Konoha Hidden Village, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, left Konoha.

The archives of this legendary hero who came out of the Warring States Period were also sealed by Konoha.
