I don't want to dance

After spending almost an afternoon in the town's market, Mingyin finally collected all the price information she wanted.

Looking at the sky that was about to sink, I thought it was time to go back.

But before going back,? Cough,? As a self-reward for her hard work,? She decided to reward herself... She believes that the Madara Patriarch, who has always been clear about rewards and punishments, will have no objections.

Without realizing it, I walked to the sushi restaurant I often go to in [-]-chome.

"Boss, bean curd sushi."

Having already become a regular customer of this restaurant, Mingyin chatted familiarly with the owner who was making sushi as soon as he came up.

The owner saw this regular customer, and greeted him with a habitual smile:

"It's still one sweet and one salty, right? The sweet one needs three times the sugar?"

When she was about to respond habitually, Mingyin was suddenly stunned, then shook her head and smiled lightly:

"No... today,? Just a salty one will be fine."

It seems that every time I ate bean curd sushi, I was with that guy, even though the tastes were very different.

"Eh? I only want a salty one today. Does the sweet one at home not eat it today?"

The owner chatted casually while making bean curd sushi.

Glancing at the sushi that was forming quickly one by one, Mingyin replied flatly:

"Ah, my Dalang is on a long trip."

Not disclosing family information outside is almost the default rule in this world. Mingyin is too lazy to make up a new name, so when he mentions Madara outside... he simply uses the elegant name of "Dalang".

"In this world, no matter what kind of job you do, it's not easy to make a living." The shopkeeper also sighed.

After a while, a salty tofu skin sushi was ready and packed out.

Taking the sushi, maybe because of habit, Mingyin always felt that something was missing, this sushi looked lonely.

After standing still, staring down at the sushi for a few seconds, he finally said:

"Boss, the sweet bean curd sushi... Let's have another one. The old rules, three times the sugar."

……

After a while, the shopkeeper quickly prepared the sweet sushi.

When I turned to leave, another customer just walked into the store.

After seeing each other, both of them were stunned for a moment.

Mingyin was a little surprised to meet Qianshou Feijian in this situation.

Even though she had a lot of things she wanted to communicate with this cultural person whose mind was full of treasures, but... now is obviously not a good time.

Seeing his guarded face, the words "tsk, it's the evil Uchiha again" were concretized in his eyes, as if she dared to make any rash moves and would stab Kunai towards her in the next second.

And, why did he...

Suppressing all kinds of emotions in his heart, Mingyin pretended to be a passerby who no longer remembered the previous meeting, and left with his two portions of beancurd sushi.

Tobima didn't stop her, and didn't even cast a second glance at her.

It was not until Mingyin had left that Tomaga, who had been silent all the time, reported a piece of salmon sushi to the owner.

While the shop owner was busy making it, Fei Jian said in a chatty manner:

"That woman just now, does she often come here to buy sushi?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled mischievously with a look of countless experiences:

"Well, that girl is beautiful. Every time I come to my place, if there are other people in the store, I can't help but take a few more glances. But, boy, I advise you to give up. How could such a beautiful girl Famous flowers have no owners, and the men around me are not fools."

Knowing that the shop owner thought he fell in love with Mingyin at first sight, Feijian explained uncomfortably:

"You misunderstood, I..."

"Here, see the two servings of sushi in her hand. She only eats salty ones, but every time she also brings sweet ones to her family." The shopkeeper turned a deaf ear and continued to say nagging.

Tomona, who originally wanted to refute, almost bit his own tongue when he heard the name "Dalang".

According to the information he has, no member of the Uchiha family should be called "Dalang" in their real names or aliases commonly used outside... And those Uchihas who are so proud of their eyes and foreheads can use their aliases even if they are aliases. So grounded?Oh, then "Dalang" can't be Uchiha Madara.

the other side--

After walking out of the street where the sushi restaurant is located, Ming Yin finally calmed down a little bit.

His face was full of bewilderment and alertness.

The reason why she was particularly surprised when she saw Qianshoufeijian just now was not because of this encounter with him, but because... Although the smell was very weak, she was sure that her nose smelled it right, and Qianshoufeijian There is Uchiha Matsue's smell on her body!

Could it be that those two people have just met?

It stands to reason that the two should have nothing to do with each other, and even as the elite combat power of Senshou and Uchiha respectively, the two should be sworn enemies.

Could it be that the two just met by chance before this?Or……

……

The land of the Thousand Hands——

In the room prepared for honored guests, Sarutobi Tsukikaru, dressed in a cherry-colored kimono, knelt quietly in front of the dressing table.

It is the age of the flower, and the pink kimono makes the girl more charming, but the girl's face reflected in the vanity mirror is full of sadness and anxiety that cannot be concealed.

He raised his hand, wanting to pick up the comb on the case table, but his hands shook and he couldn't hold it steady, and the comb fell to the ground with a "snap".

Accompanied by this "pop", the window was suddenly opened with a "wow--", and a black shadow broke in through the window in an instant.

Instinctively, she wanted to scream, but the visitor immediately covered her mouth with his hand, and gestured with the other hand in a silent gesture of "shh--".

After Sarutobi Yueying saw the visitor clearly, her almond eyes widened immediately, and she was so impulsive that she wanted to cry for a moment.

After the other party put down the hand covering her mouth, Sarutobi Yueying lowered her voice and asked eagerly:

"Sasuke, why are you here?! Did you break into the Thousand Hands' land alone? Have you been discovered?"

The person who came was Sasuke Sarutobi, the number one master of the Sarutobi clan, and he was also a well-known ninja hero in this chaotic era.

"Don't worry, I was very careful when I sneaked in." Sasuke Sarutobi showed a reassuring smile on his face, but then his expression became solemn and anxious: "What's going on? Why did the patriarch suddenly let me go?" Are you married to the Qianshou family?"

He went to the country of water to do a mission that took a long time, and he finally finished the mission and rushed back day and night, wanting to see the girl he missed all the way, but when he came back, he was told that Yue Ying was sent to The Qianshou family got married? !

Hearing Sasuke Sasuke Sarutobi's questioning, Yue Ying's body trembled slightly, and her eyes were somewhat evasive and helpless:

"These are all arranged by my brother... Brother, he has his considerations."

The childhood sweethearts of each other grew up together, how could Sasuke Sarutobi fail to see Yueying's unnaturalness, and suddenly became more worried:

"Yueying, did you hide something from me... The patriarch sent you to Qianshou's house, besides marriage, did he have other purposes?"

Yueying suddenly became more flustered, but she could only stop the tears she wanted to shed, and shook her head:

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, I can't say anything...you go away, if you are found by the Senju family, you will not be able to explain it clearly."

"That's it..." Sarutobi Sasuke lowered his head in a bit of disappointment, but the next second, when he raised his head again, his face was as bold and straightforward as before with a smile like the sun: "Hey, Yue Ying, you still Like me, don't you? Let's elope if you want, what do you think?"

She never expected that he, who is usually careless but calm and witty, would say such words, and Yue Ying turned pale with shock:

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

……

At night, among the woodlands on the border of the Land of Fire——

The team led by Madara to carry out this mission stopped for a while to rest after marching all day. After eating Bingliang pills, they slept around the fire lit by the fire on the spot to keep warm.

"Master Madara, it's time for shift change. It's time for me to watch the night. You should also take a rest." Uchiha Hokage came over and said to Madara who was sitting on the ground with his back leaning on the tree trunk, but his eyes were clear.

"Thank you, Fire Core."

Madara moved her body and was about to get up, but suddenly felt a rustling in the nearby bushes.

The body's instinctive reaction was faster than consciousness, and Madara threw a kunai towards that place.

A black shadow also jumped out of the bushes because of the kunai, and Spotted Eyes quickly grabbed the black shadow.

"Buff-bluff-bluff-"

"It turned out to be a little fox." Fire Core looked at the little thing with red hair that was pinched by Ban in his hand. The little fox was pinched by the throat at the moment, and the shrill cry made people feel that they could hardly breathe. , and the four legs were also struggling, "Yes, now that spring is here, more and more foxes are starting to go down the mountain to look for food."

Madara looked at the dying fox in his hand:

"There are no traces of ninjutsu on it."

"Looks like it's just an unlucky little thing that happened to pass by here." Fire Core smiled, and then looked at Madara, "Master Madara, how about it, do you want to roast it and eat it?"

And the unlucky fox seemed to understand how the two humans in front of him wanted to deal with it, and immediately showed an expression of grievance and pleading to the man who was still pinching it at the moment. I was sobbing a little bit.

Seeing the miserable look of the fox in front of him, Madara didn't know why he thought of Ming Yin's pitiful expression on purpose every time he tried to trick him... Tsk, it was exactly the same as this fox.

"Forget it." While speaking, Madara had already let go of the fox, "I still have to peel off the outer layer of fox fur, it's too troublesome."

The little fox, who had escaped unharmed, jumped back into the bushes in a hurry, spread his legs and ran away as fast as he could.

"Foxes are very spiritual animals." Looking at the disappearing movement in the bushes, Huo Nuan said casually, "It is said that foxes and dogs are close relatives, but compared to dogs, foxes are much more wild. It's too hard to tame."

"Really..." Madara lowered her head and looked at the few strands of fox fur that had just stuck to her glove, "However, no matter how wild a beast is, it can always be tamed... Maybe one day in the future, I will directly The legendary nine-tailed demon fox was captured and used as a psychic beast."

The few wisps of fox fur on the glove are very bright and fiery red.

"Haha, if it is Madara-sama, I believe there is nothing impossible."

……

"Ah-"

Sitting alone in her room eating dinner, Mingyin sneezed violently, just now she suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

...Could it be a cold?

Of the two servings of bean skin sushi on the table, she had already eaten the salty one.

It's just that today's bean curd sushi is not as delicious as usual... Did the boss cut corners?

Looking at another untouched sweet bean curd sushi with three times the sugar, after a while, Mingyin finally picked up a piece, frowned and put it in his mouth.

After swallowing this piece of bean curd sushi bit by bit...the brows frowned even tighter:

"... Tsk, it's really hard to eat."
