I don't want to dance

"I am the patriarch of the Uchiha, where will I go if I don't go back to the Uchiha clan?"

For a while, Madara didn't understand what Mingyin meant by "returning to the place", and subconsciously replied quite naturally.

"What I mean by 'home' is not the place where I live." Mingyin was interested in this question, perhaps because it was also an unsolvable question for her, "Let's put it this way, if... I It means that if, one day in the future, Quanna is gone, and the Uchiha clansmen no longer have the same heart with you as the patriarch, then, will you still regard the Uchiha clan as your 'home'?"

When he heard the words "Quenna is gone", Madara suddenly felt flustered and helpless... That was something he was absolutely unwilling to face, and he would never let that happen !

[Let’s build a village that belongs to us here, and then the children can grow up in the village safely, and they will no longer be forced to go to the battlefield at a young age. 】

[In that case, I must put my brother in the village to protect him. 】

That's right, when he was young, he and Zhujian imagined the dream of ending the troubled times and establishing a ninja village. For him, the original intention of this dream was just to protect his only younger brother.

Memories of several other younger brothers who died tragically on the battlefield when they were still young came to mind, as well as the scene when his father and mother died... Quan Nai is his last relative, and he is the only one in this world who can truly love each other. There is no one who doubts.

If in the future, he still fails to protect Quanna well... Heh, then, that cold Uchiha mansion is meaningless to him, because the only one who will say "Welcome back" to him 100% sincerely "The person is no longer there, so he will never have any so-called "home" from now on.

"Ban Jun?" There was no response for a while, but the other party clearly had an expression of being lost in thought, and Mingyin couldn't help asking again.

"I won't let Quanna die, so this question is meaningless."

Madara dismissed the question flatly and coldly, even with his obvious avoidance.After a moment of silence, the tone finally softened a little:

"And what about you, what is your 'home'?"

"Me?" Mingyin was taken aback by the retorted question, then sneered, "I have nowhere to go."

Such a decisive but flat tone drew Madara's sideways glance, and he knew that she was not joking at this moment.

"You still have a younger brother who will always be waiting for you to return, but I... I have nothing." Mingyin said calmly, but she didn't seem to feel any sadness, and even had a little bit of love for the world. Indifferent, "Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, and don't have to pity me or anything... As I said before, I have always lived alone and only for myself. And now it seems that I live Not too bad."

"Hmph, indeed, you really don't seem to need pity." After the cold words came out, Madara suddenly felt a little regretful, whether he was a bit vile.

Tsk, why did he bother so much about her.

Fortunately, Akane didn't seem to care much about Madara's attitude, but instead said:

"However, in this era of endless wars, it is not easy to protect your favorite brother. After all, Quan Nai will not allow herself to shrink under her brother's wings and wait to be protected, even including Mr. Ban, you yourself are living in danger every day, right... have you ever thought about ending this troubled world?"

Madara, who was instantly touched, was a little surprised, and even a little moved... The world has long been numb to the chaos that has lasted for hundreds of years, and even thinks that the world is like this.It turns out that in this world, is there anyone else who has the same thoughts as him and Zhujian?

"Of course, I have thought about it." Except for Quanna, Madara has never mentioned to anyone the fantasy of talking with Zhuma at the Nanga River when he was young, but at this moment, he is facing such a non-relative. The girl who told the story said, "I thought about it a long time ago..."

……

"Building a village where many families are united... In such an era full of hatred among various families, it is really an amazing dream." Constrained by the constraints of the times and limited age experience, Ming Yin felt that Madara and Hashirama could Thinking of this step, I can already be called a pioneer and a dreamer.

"Don't you think that's an unrealistic fantasy?" Madara didn't know whether he was speaking to Mingyin or himself.

"If you don't try it, how will you know if it can be realized?" Mingyin felt that even she had seen a glimmer of light. Maybe this era will be defined by the descendants of this world as "the end of the Warring States period". He will be one of the founders who will end the Warring States Period and push the world forward, "Do you still remember when we first arrived in this town, when we were walking on the street, we saw this high pavilion that was entrusted by the daimyo of the Fire Kingdom?" , I said I have a question I have been wanting to ask, but it was interrupted by the passing girl, in fact, what I want to ask is related to your idea of ​​building a ninja village."

"what is the problem?"

"All of you ninjas clearly possess magic... Ah, no, I mean powerful combat power, even the top ninjas might be able to destroy the world, so why do you want to be inferior to the princes like daimyo? Under the nobles, they treat them as pariahs, and are you willing to be used as tools by them?" Mingyin has roughly figured out the situation in this world these days, and ninjas here are equivalent to mercenaries.

After hearing this, Madara looked at Mingyin with a weird face, as if she had just told a joke that was extremely ignorant of common sense:

"Don't ninjas exist to complete tasks, and then get task rewards from their employers, which is also a source of income for ninjas."

Mingyin became more serious, sat cross-legged and straightened up, looking directly at the man in front of him:

"Because of this, you ninjas have always been underestimated by those princes and nobles, thinking that you can be manipulated at will. Since you can think of breaking through the narrow group with the family as the unit and establishing a ninja village based on the family alliance, why don't you break through?" What about the mindset that ninjas are tools to get things done for their employers?"

Madara and Hashirama had never discussed this issue at the beginning. After all, hasn't the ninja profession been like that all along, and at this moment, he felt that this new idea made him a little bit excited, but more Still confused:

"You mean to elevate the status of ninjas... Let the daimyo give us land? How is this possible? Those princes and nobles have always looked down on ninjas, and it is impossible for them to be their retainers, let alone fiefdoms. Is it possible? , let us directly overthrow the daimyo and establish ourselves as king?"

Mingyin shook her finger in denial. Although the idea of ​​elevating the status of ninjas is correct, neither clinging to perfection nor violent revolution is a good way. Still too uncertain:

"The daimyo can give you land, and naturally they have the right to take it back at any time. Not only do you still have to work for them, but you are even forced to show your allegiance. The result is nothing more than changing from their 'tools' to 'loyal tools'. It is even more unreliable to overthrow them by force. It is impossible for you to unify all the ninja families in the world. If you resist the daimyo, the daimyo can pay high prices to hire other ninja families to deal with you. During the chaotic war, the daimyo sat and watched the drama. The daimyo still need to exist, after all, the country’s land, financial revenue and so on are in their hands, and the common people are used to being led by them, and they even have a bit of spiritual support It means that it is unrealistic to want to civilize all the people so that they no longer rely on daimyo on a psychological level. However, there is one thing that daimyo themselves do not possess, but it is also indispensable for a country..."

"Military power." Madara understood instantly, his dark eyes were a little more shocked, and more thoughts suddenly flooded into his mind.

"Ban-jun is really smart." Mingyin blinked slyly, and did not forget to slap each other's rainbow farts when talking about serious and serious topics, "The relationship between you and your daimyo should not be dependent or antagonistic, but should be Reach a kind of cooperation. Let’s take the Nation of Fire as an example. First of all, of course, you ninja families need to establish an alliance, which is the Ninja Village that you and Senjuzhu imagined. Then the next step is to cooperate with Fire The daimyo of the land of fire reached an agreement to make Ninja Village the only officially stamped military group in the Ninja of Fire. The daily expenses of Ninja Village are allocated by the daimyo, and Ninja Village can only accept tasks entrusted by the Ninja of Fire and other countries without ninjas , and when the country of fire and the daimyo are in danger, Ninja Village will unconditionally protect them. Only when the interests of Ninja Village and the country are closely tied together can Ninja Village and the ninjas in the village get their due status, and it is no longer easy Subject to any employer... Hey, Ban-kun, are you listening?"

Mingyin stretched out her hand and shook Madara's face twice, always feeling that the way this person looked at her at this moment... seemed a little weird?

"Ah, of course I'm listening." Madara chuckled softly, a rare kind of gentle and moving smile, even those dark and deep eyes seemed a little brighter.

Sure enough, people with lying silkworms really look good when they smile... Mingyin felt that her heart, which had long been cold and indifferent, seemed to be touched.

Tsk, it's probably because this man usually has a cold coffin face that can scare a child into tears, or a sneer on the corner of his mouth and he almost said "you scum", so it's rare to smile like this, and it's because of the huge The contrast brings people a feeling of spring and flowers blooming?

...It's clearly winter now.

Then, only to hear Madara speak slowly:

"I was just thinking...it would be great if Hashirama was here now."

He was very conflicted. On the one hand, he still felt that the first step in realizing the future was to establish a Ninja Village with a family union; Can it develop in that direction?

Hashirama, if you were here, what would you think?

And Ming Yin, who had been dazzled by the man's not deep and not shallow smile just now, couldn't help but hehe after hearing this:

"Ban-jun, although it's a disguise, but I'm still your nominal fiancee now. Is it appropriate for you to mention Senshouzhujian at this time?"

Madara felt baffled by this, "What's inappropriate?"

The establishment of Ninja Village was originally the dream he and Zhujian shared at the beginning, and Zhujian said that he was his "apocalypse" at every turn.

Mingyin: "...", do you still think it's suitable? You're great, you two are Ban Mio and Zhu Liye! Hey!
