I don't want to dance

"Mingyin-chan, today is your 16th birthday, right...Happy birthday! And, and, I... I have always, always liked you, if, if you can... Would you date me? ?!"

The rooftop has always been a holy place for confession on campus, and the birthday of the sweetheart is an excellent opportunity to confess.

At this moment, the breeze blows across the roof, looking at the boy in front of me who is so nervous that his whole body can't help shaking, Mingyin who is still smiling is thinking silently in his heart... How should she politely refuse so that it won't hurt? What about the other party's adolescent boy heart?

And the boy stared at Mingyin's smile, and couldn't help but blushed a little more.

He has liked Mingyin since he entered school, and he also knows that there are many boys in school who like Mingyin. After all, how could such a pretty girl with a sweet and soft smile be disliked.

Although Mingyin has a good personality, it seems that no one has become a close friend with her so far. It makes people feel kind but distant for some reason. That's why no boy in the school has officially confessed to her so far.

But he didn't want to wait any longer, what if some brave boy got ahead of him.So after looking at the class files and finding that today is Mingyin's birthday, he decisively chose to confess his love.

Then, what awaits him will be...

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm sorry, you are not my type."

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Mingyin decided to simply refuse, without giving the other party any extra thoughts.

As for polite words like "However, we can still be friends~"... forget it.Firstly, she was not interested in the spare tire game, and secondly, she didn't care about "friends" or anything like that.

"Eh?" The boy who was in a state of high tension did not expect to receive a rejection reply from the other party so soon. He was stunned for a moment and blurted out subconsciously: "Then what type do you like?"

In fact, he is still a little confident in himself. After all, from appearance to study to sports, his comprehensive index is still very popular among girls, and he can even label himself a "campus male god" attribute with a little cheek ...So Ming Yin-chan, why did you refuse so decisively without hesitation? !

"The type I like... um..." Mingyin tapped her chin with a finger, her face full of innocent yearning for a little girl, "The person I like wants to drive a Gundam to sweep away thousands of troops in the midst of raging fire. He came before me with such arrogance... Such a man is simply too handsome!"

Hearing such an answer, the boy was completely stunned, and it took him a while to recover.

No wonder he couldn't conquer his goddess... It turns out that the goddess is still in the second stage of middle school!

"Mingyin-chan... I, I will work hard! Please wait for me!"

Watching the boy run away in tears while expressing passionate remarks, Ming Yin didn't even have time to say the symbolic "You, come on".

After sighing helplessly, he looked at the half-open door at the entrance of the rooftop:

"Senior Kagome, please come out if you have seen enough, I have found you a long time ago."

Kagome, who was discovered, walked out from behind the door. During her break between classes, she accidentally saw Ming Yin standing opposite a boy on the rooftop. When Dang even thought about whether there would be a confession scene, she couldn't help but wonder come and see.And the boy ran out of the rooftop in tears after failing to confess his confession just now, probably because he was too sad to notice her standing behind the door.

But that's fine, if you know that the confession was rejected and people are watching...it's a bit sad.

"That boy just said that he will work hard... What is he trying to do?" Kagome asked aloud, it is impossible to really work hard to meet the ideal type of middle school two mentioned by Mingyin, right?

"...Probably go and read the Gundams of the past from beginning to end. Maybe after watching, he will understand that driving Gundams is a man's dream. How can driving Gundams be fun when you are in love~"

"That will only further arouse his middle school soul. You really managed to make a high school student degenerate back to the second year of middle school." Kagome couldn't help complaining. As for the rhetoric about the ideal type, "You What you said was just nonsense to dissuade that boy, right?"

"How should I put it...not exactly~ Driving a Gundam, in the raging fire, came to me with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops... Doesn't it sound romantic? Think about that kind of scene I feel very touched." Ming Yin acted as if she was touched by herself, and then compared her thumbs, "So, I like Amuro the most!"

"So you really are a middle school sophomore inside, right! Wake up, you are not a sophomore in middle school!"

"Then, Kagome-senpai, will you give me Amuro's figurine as a birthday present?"

"You are asking me directly!"

Kagome felt that all her complaints in the past few years were almost all used on Ming Yin, and sometimes it drove her crazy... If possible, please come to a Gundam pilot and take this guy!

"By the way, I almost forgot to mention that I have club activities after school this afternoon. You don't have to wait for me after school, just go to my house first." Kagome cleared her throat and changed the subject.

"Well, I see, don't worry, no matter how late Kagome-senpai you come back, I will leave the biggest piece of cake to you, senior."

"...That's because you hate sweets."

"Ahh~ I've been discovered~ Senior, why don't you cooperate with me and act a little moved~"

"Not at all!"

……

In the evening, Higurashi Shrine——

"Little Fatty, come out quickly, I have found you a long time ago."

In the courtyard, Mingyin called the name of the little fat cat raised by Himu's family, while walking towards the legendary ancient well behind the courtyard.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Higurashi is preparing dinner, and Kagome's younger brother Sota is helping.Mingyin originally planned to help, but because of "the birthday boy just enjoy it today~", she was invited out of the kitchen, and then helped Sota find the cat at home who didn't know where to play.

...That's why she suggested that it would be better to take Xiaopang to have an operation. No, spring is here again.

Walking to the edge of the well, she bent down slightly, and looked at the cat at the bottom of the well, which was just like the so-called little fat cat. Mingyin ticked her fingers towards the little guy:

"You can come up by yourself, come on."

Although this chubby little fat cat looks cute... but I'm sorry, she's a dog, and she doesn't like cat creatures.

"Meow!" Xiaopang, who was squatting at the bottom of the well, yelled at Mingyin dissatisfied.

"Stop being coquettish, Senior Kagome said, this well has already been treated as a cat climbing frame by you, it is very flexible to climb up and down."

"Meow meow--!"

"By the way, I remember seniors saying that on her 15th birthday, she was forcibly taken to the Warring States Period by a monster that suddenly emerged from the well just to find you by the well... Ah, speaking of it Today is my birthday, do you want to lure me to jump now, are you trying to give me an assist?"

"Meow meow meow--!"

"Well, although I joked with my seniors that I can jump into a well on my birthday today, and try to see if a miracle will happen... But in fact, I don't want to go to the Warring States Period at all. Isn't this modern society delicious~ So I won't be fooled, you scheming meow."

"Meow meow meow—!"

"Sure enough, it's the arrival of spring that makes you restless. Okay, okay, let me listen to an audio to soothe your throbbing heart. Come up immediately after hearing it."

While speaking, Mingyin took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and was about to find out an audio of a female cat neighing in spring, so as to attract Xiaopang from the bottom of the well...

"Whoosh-!"

"boom--!"

The little chubby cat, who was irritated in a hurry, burst out, and jumped out from the bottom of the well in two or three deft moves, and with one leap, knocked out the mobile phone in Mingyin's hand with one paw.

Looking at the mobile phone that fell to the bottom of the well, Ming Yin was stunned for three seconds, and finally had to scratch her hair helplessly... So she really can't get along with cats as a dog.

... The screen of her mobile phone may have been broken, she just bought it last month.

Mingyin had no choice but to resign herself to jumping to the bottom of the well to pick up her cell phone, which may have been half scrapped.

Picking up the phone, seeing the screen intact for the first time, I breathed a sigh of relief, but when my finger accidentally touched the screen...

"Meow meow meow--!"

In the well, an invisible and powerful force suddenly struck...

……

Among the deep mountains and forests, a clear and wide river flows through.

Nangachuan, the most important river in the Land of Fire, nurtured numerous ninja families on both sides of the river.

This is an era of war, and wars will break out between families at any time.Once the war starts, Nanhechuan will be soaked into a river of blood at any time.

And this endless war that has lasted for a hundred years has no end in sight. No one will know where this generation will lead.

At this moment, the blood of Nangachuan has just faded away, and a solemn funeral is being held at the Uchiha clan land by the river.

In order to commemorate their patriarch Uchiha Tajima who died heroically in the last battle with the old enemy family.

In front of the tombstone of the former patriarch, the Uchiha tribe gathered.

Everyone's heart is full of grief and indignation, but no one chooses to cry.

In their view, the ninja must be prepared to die in battle the moment they set foot on the battlefield. It is the highest honor for a ninja to die on the battlefield, and their tears will only be a blasphemy against their great patriarch.

And standing at the forefront is Uchiha Madara, the young patriarch who has just completed.

On his stern face, the childishness of a boy has gradually faded away. He was already more mature than his peers, and after his father passed away, he grew up rapidly overnight.

He is no longer that little devil who can only follow in his father's footsteps, nor is he that frivolous boy who can swim freely with his friends beside the Nanhe River.

He is Uchiha Izuna's older brother, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, and someone who wants to be a peacemaker in the ninja world... Of course, the last point seems to be just an extravagant wish now.

Recalling the fantasies I once talked with my best friend about "people will understand each other one day, and everyone will shake hands and make peace in the future", I couldn't help but sneered.

He has lost enough, and if he can protect what he still holds tightly in his hands, he is willing to abandon the innocence he once had.

According to the traditional practice, the funeral was carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of invited monks.

It's time for Madara, the eldest son and the new head of the clan, to give a speech.

Madara also suppressed the grief in his heart, showed the calmness that the patriarch should have, and faced the crowd of clansmen, he spoke calmly and forcefully:

"Everyone's thoughts, the first patriarch must have received it on the other side of Santu River, presumably the first patriarch..."

Madara just opened his mouth without saying a word, and suddenly a loud laugh resounded through the sky... and he was still singing and laughing wildly!

【Wow ha ha ha ha!Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Wow ha ha ha ha!Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Fist Miraiへ今?手开いて (clench your fist towards the future, now open your hand)!

音に合わせて?君の风吹け (in line with the beat of this music, let your wind blow away the haze)!

上下に揺れて (come and shake up and down together)! 】

Everyone was startled by the wild laughter and disco music that suddenly sounded from the grave, until someone in the crowd screamed from the soul——

"Who--! Who dared to be so disrespectful in front of the tomb of Patriarch Tajima! What is being held now is the funeral of the patriarch! Ah, no, it is the funeral of the former patriarch!"
