I don't want to dance

"...You really don't need to be so vigilant,? Believe me, we are safe now,? A ninja will not suddenly pop up and throw a shuriken and a detonating charm at you."

It took only ten minutes to walk from the Higurashi Shrine to the apartment where she lived, but Mingyin felt that the journey was extremely long... Although she could not understand the mood of the person beside her at the moment.

I saw the Ninja Shura next to him, who was coming and going in the wind and rain in the Warring States Period, day and night, showing a rare child-like look of novelty, confusion and vigilance against the strange outside world at this moment, looking up Looking at the dozens of storey buildings on both sides of the street.The light from the small rooms in the building and the firelight from the strings of street lamps on the street dispelled the darkness of the night, all of which were completely different from the ancient Warring States period.

"What are these...houses?" Madara asked conclusively after observing for a while.

"Yes,? That's right." Mingyin nodded. Fortunately, he didn't regard these high-rise buildings made of steel and concrete as monsters. After all, in the Warring States Period, even the mansion where the daimyo lived was only a few stories high.

"Why do you build the house so high?" Madara frowned, thinking that she told herself before that people in this world don't have chakras? There is no way to jump to a high place in two or three times... Building this kind of house is not Asking for trouble?

"Because there are too many people, in order to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to live in the house, it is necessary to build high-rise buildings to reduce the land area. And each house will have a tool called an 'elevator', and people can stand on this tool. Rising to a high place at a very fast speed does not need to consume human physical energy, so chakra and so on are indifferent."

Ming Yin, who was explaining these things, suddenly felt that... now she looks like an elementary school teacher explaining common sense to children.

But... Looking up at the sky covered by skyscrapers, I miss the endless night of the Warring States Period. The moon is shining brightly in the night, and it is dotted with stars.

If there is no accident,? That world,? Will eventually become the modern era in front of us in the continuous development.

"Here, for example, this building is no problem for more than 1000 people to live or work in."

Madara's gaze also followed Mingyin's fingers.Rather than questioning whether the capacity of this building is really that big, what shocked him more was... Where did so many people come from? !There are not so many people in the entire Uchiha clan!

"More than 1000 people live in one building? How many people are there?!"

"Well... the population of this country alone has exceeded [-] million, and the population of the whole world is even more." Mingyin is not sure whether Madara can appreciate the hugeness represented by this number.

After being silent for a moment, Madara asked slowly:

"It's because, as you said, it's 'safe' here... So, the children here don't die before they grow up, do they?"

Mingyin was slightly taken aback... If she hadn't traveled to the Warring States Period and witnessed the low productivity and the pain and chaos caused by successive years of war, she probably wouldn't be able to truly understand Madara's mood.

She could tell that Madara actually liked children very much... Although his face coupled with that fierce expression would often only scare the children in the clan to cry.I heard from him that he originally had five brothers, but except for Quanna, none of the other brothers survived to adulthood. They died on the battlefield in troubled times when they were still children, so he cherishes them all the more. The only surviving younger brother, Quanna, wants to protect Quanna well... This is also his original intention to establish a ninja joint village with Zhujian.

If he had been born in such an era and in such a relatively peaceful country, his brothers probably wouldn't have died in such a cruel way when they were children.

"Well, how should I put it, it's one of the reasons. At least in this country, there is a set of legal provisions and rules and regulations to protect children. However, the population is so large compared to your time, and there are many other reasons. The reason... This question is too complicated, if you are interested, I will explain it to you slowly later."

As soon as the voice fell, a sports car roared past on the road beside it, and the roar of the exhaust pipe resounded throughout the street.

Sensing the danger instinctively, Madara pulled Akane past her and hugged her:

"What the hell... is this what you call the world 'safe'?"

Although he didn't know what it was, he could still feel the impact of that thing.

And being bumped into the hard armor on his chest unexpectedly, Mingyin only felt a sharp pain in his nose:

"That thing is called a car, as long as it is driving on the prescribed motor vehicle lane and does not exceed the speed limit, there is no problem..."

After a lot of effort, he finally managed to make him understand what a "car" might be... It turned out that he was still interested in it:

"Do you have this thing called a 'car'?"

"No." Mingyin replied decisively, and couldn't help sighing in his heart that there are very few men who don't like cars, and men of any era are the same, "Although my actual age is over 100 years old, but because of my appearance Currently I have to pretend to be a 16-year-old high school student. In this country, you can only drive when you reach the age of [-]...and you need to go through training before driving, and after the training, you have to test to see if the training results are up to standard. The 'training' is almost the same. It is equivalent to what you call 'practice'."

Hearing what Mingyin said, Madara actually seemed to be thinking about it seriously:

"Then I am old enough."

...Master patriarch, do you still plan to take a driver's license test for fun during this period of modern life?Mingyin was so tired that she wanted to roll her eyes:

"You don't have an individual number card from this country, so you can't take the test! And you're considered a smuggled here, okay... Time and space smuggling is also a kind of smuggling!"

Please be a little self-conscious as a black household, please!

……

Finally arrived at the apartment building where I lived, when the elevator descended to the first floor, and the elevator door opened with a "swish--", Mingyin saw that Madara was startled as expected... Although the old man tried his best to hide , on the surface it seems to be stable.

"Here, this is the 'elevator' I mentioned earlier." After entering the elevator, Mingyin continued her work as an elementary school teacher, "I live on the fourth floor of No.20 in this building, so after entering the elevator, press the Just press the '24' button...uh..."

Suddenly realized that Arabic numerals did not seem to be used in that era... The numbers on this pile of buttons are probably equivalent to some kind of spells for Madara.

...Sure enough, you are looking at these buttons with an expression of studying ninjutsu, you!

"...these have nothing to do with ninjutsu, they are just another form of expression of numbers, here, counting up from here represents one, two, three, four, five...Of course, you can take your time to remember, It doesn’t take a while to get used to it.” Mingyin felt that if he wanted to live here not so difficult, it was still necessary to teach him the Arabic numerals used in daily life.

However, Madara snorted arrogantly as always:

"This kind of simple thing can be remembered all at once."

Seeing his flashing pair of jade writing sharing eyes, Mingyin rubbed her forehead... That's right, she was so worried, she almost forgot that he still has such a magic weapon for learning cheating.

At this moment, the elevator stopped suddenly on the tenth floor... Someone went up the stairs halfway?

With the sound of "Thank you for the homework tonight, let's go to school together tomorrow morning!" came from outside the elevator. After the elevator door opened, a boy with a homework book in his hand stared at the two people in the elevator in a daze.

Mingyin recalled it for a while... She remembered that this kid seemed to be a junior high school student who lived upstairs from her house, and he happened to be in the second grade of junior high school.

...So the second-year boy shouldn't be surprised to see Madara dressed like this, right?

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the elevator, the second-year boy asked with great interest:

"Did you just come back from cosplay?!"

Mingyin tried her best to make herself smile more naturally, "Well... that's right..."

After hearing the word "co..." again, Madara couldn't help frowning... So what does that word mean? !

At this time, the second-year boy noticed Madara's pair of sharing eyes that hadn't had time to put them away:

"Eh? Is this a prop for cosplay too, what a weird color contact lens?"

In his impression, there seems to be no ACG character with three commas in his eyes, right?

Although I don't understand what this person means by "beautiful contact lenses", but as a proud Uchiha, his eyes were misunderstood, Madara instinctively retorted with a cold face:

"It's not color contact lenses, it's Sharingan."

Ming Yin, who had no time to stop, had to pinch Madara's arm...you can shut up!

And when Madara turned his head and glared at Mingyin who suddenly pinched him for some reason, the second-year boy was a question mark as expected.

With a question mark on his head, thinking that he didn't have enough ACG knowledge to know what "Sharingan" is, the young man also humbly asked for advice:

"Brother, this outfit of yours...are you playing the part of a warrior?"

Could it be some kind of samurai with supernatural powers?Haven't heard of this kind of ACG work?

Hearing this, Madara frowned even tighter:

"I don't know samurai, I'm a ninja!"

Mingyin had already covered her face and gave up the treatment.

And although the second-year boy shouted in his heart, how can a ninja dress himself up so arrogantly!But still resisting the inexplicable coercion brought by the person in front of him, he bite the bullet and asked:

"Then which ninja are you playing? Hattori Hanzo or Sarutobi Sasuke?"

Although Madara doesn't know who "Hattori Hanzo" is, he knows "Sarutobi Sasuke"!Immediately became even more annoyed, seeing that the kaleidoscope was about to explode:

"Why did I want to play Sasuke Sarutobi!"

To be worthy of letting him play the role must be a strong man of Hashirama's level!

Finally, the elevator reached the 24th floor and opened the door. Akane hurriedly dragged Madara out of the elevator... If it was too late, Susan might have to tear down the elevator!

As for the sophomore boy who was almost scared to pee, he had a nightmare surrounded by countless pairs of red eyes all night... Ah, that's for another story.
