The hot and dry air in August has faded away, and even the slight sweat when running is only cool.Many families in the village plant all kinds of vegetables, fruits and flowers on the small land in the backyard. Some of them are surrounded by fences, and green vines are wrapped around them, and the colors of the sun are blown by the wind.People walk slowly on the street in twos and threes, or gather under the trees, with a leisurely attitude.

Although such an idyllic and leisurely scene is only fleeting in the eyes of the galloping ninja, it was enough to make Mana happy in the past; however, no matter how beautiful the scenery is now, it cannot save her from a bad mood.

Originally, she should not bring her personal emotions to her partner, because it is easy to doubt your ability to work.But fortunately, Tobima has always been relatively taciturn in the face of Uchiha (unless provoked), and Mana is too lazy to force herself to smile and deliberately create a harmonious atmosphere.

Although she has been telling herself repeatedly in her heart that Banxi doesn't like her, such a problem is irrelevant, because she only needs to protect him well.However, when this issue was brought to the fore by someone—or by Thousand Hands—in daylight, she was still more sad than she had imagined.

She would not have misunderstood that Cheng Feijian was concerned about her relationship issues. The "like" that man said was not so ambiguous. Instead of saying "like", using "trust" to describe it could better express his intentions.

Tomona's only concern is that since he has just decided to temporarily trust Uchiha—or, more precisely, Mana's character and ability—and start a preliminary cooperation, he certainly hopes that Mana, as the person in charge, can guarantee that she will be in Uchiha herself. The status of the Bo family is stable.

In his opinion, since Mana's personal ability is beyond doubt, there is only one factor that can threaten the power in her hands—the trust of Madara as the patriarch.

Don't forget that Mana is not a direct blood relative of Madara and Quanna, and even her status was very embarrassing at the beginning, and this is not a secret in front of the clan, Hashirama, and Togama.She is scornfully called "the offspring of a traitor", and this inherent disadvantage in her identity cannot be fully made up for by her personal high combat effectiveness alone.Today, she is able to become a powerful figure in the clan second only to the patriarch Uchiha Madara and the patriarch's younger brother Uchiha Izumi, and she has won the trust of the clan, of course because she has the talent to preside over government affairs and she works hard , but more because Madara—as the patriarch—has exactly the same feelings and trust for her as for Quanna.

Unusually deep affection and trust.

From Tomona’s point of view, if he finally made up his mind to try to cooperate, he would lose the power to represent the Uchiha clan because Mana (inexplicably to him) cheated Madara soon after, because The interruption of cooperation is tantamount to breaking the consensus and trust that the two families have finally established, and it is difficult to recover.

Mana understands this kind of worry. This kind of worry is like the cooperation between two Hyundai companies. You would never want to see the partner company tear up the contract because of the quarrel between the president and his wife.She could have assured Tobima that this trust would not be shaken. Although she couldn't explain the reason (the pentagram on the background of the flames under her collarbone represents loyalty with her life), she believed that this confidence could be conveyed. of.

However, Tobima just used the word "like" casually, which inevitably made her think of some terrible things that she tried not to think about.

He likes her or not.Of course I like it, of course I love it.Just like his sincere and deep love for Quanna as his younger brother.

She knows it.

She knew it from that year when he said to her with firm eyes and a clear smile, "I will protect you", and from that year when he was angry in front of Tajima and tried hard to protect her. from...

Protection, indulgence, trust, let her do what she wants, she doesn't want to say the reason, she doesn't say anything, even when she wants him to change his hairstyle, change clothes, and even do strange things like eyebrow trimming, she refuses When explaining the truth behind it, he really had no choice but to follow her.

He was really so used to her.

He is Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara... Is he the kind of good old man who can be presumptuous in front of him by anyone?

For so many years, little by little, the relationship between them is so thick that there is no need to distinguish which one it is.

However, the more he loved her, the deeper the fear in her heart became.Since she swore to protect him forever when she was seven years old, Madara has always been the bright and firm figure in the sun in her heart, covered with a diamond-like brilliance.She longed for and admired such brilliance, and this mood not only did not become bleak with the passage of time and the torment of the war, but turned into a kind of... It could be called faith.

Possesses stronger power than anyone else, but wants to create a pure and bright world more than anyone else; it’s not that he doesn’t understand those secret battles, but he dismisses them and prefers to use force to break through; he is so proud and strong, but he always holds that guardianship The tender heart of a loved one...

And the Mana he sees, the Mana he wants to protect, has always been the one who is so energetic that she bounces around when she walks, is lively and cheerful, fights with Quanna, is optimistic, strong and frank... yes, it's just this Mana.

Even her calm, smart and capable appearance in front of outsiders still gives people the impression of being clean, clear and dignified.

But in fact, that Mana who was in the dark, thinking hard about how to pave the way to his ideal; the one who forced himself to learn how to use, fight, and hypocrisy in order not to let those boring intrigues hinder his progress. Chennai, who is almost going to become a qualified politician...

She didn't dare to show a little trace in front of him like this.

Controlling public opinion, discussing cooperation with Qianshoufei in private, how to suppress the voice of the opposition in the clan before, and how to use both kindness and power to benefit oneself when dealing with caravan affairs...

When she came back to her senses, she had gone too far on this road, so that she became the kind of deep-minded and almost despicable person he hated.

Many times, when she laughed out loud in front of Madara, and looked at his childish awkwardness that he never showed outside, she would feel that this smiling self was like a thin layer of snow under the sun, As long as the temperature is higher, it will melt immediately, revealing the mottled and dirty black mud underneath.

Don't dare let him see it.

I dare not let him know.

Fear of being hated, despised, or abandoned.

Although it is impossible to hide this kind of thing forever, but before he suspects, she would rather bury her head in the sand and hypnotize herself like an ostrich.

But she will never regret being who she is today, because this is the most likely way she can find to help him get closer to that dream.Whether he likes it or not, as long as it is useful, she will do it.

Helping him is much more important than making him like her.

It's that simple.

These delicate and subtle thoughts have been turned around for thousands of times, and then flashed in the bottom of my heart only for a moment.It didn't take long for Mana and Tomona to find the two most powerful ninjas on the cliff.

"Finally found it..." Looking at the two guys in front of him who seemed to have a warm atmosphere, he took a deep breath and said frantically, "What time is this and you are still dawdling here! The envoy of the fire kingdom daimyo We are coming to the meeting!"

Such a furious Tomama can probably only be seen when Hashirama is present.Mana wandered out of the corner of her eye, and took a step forward.

"Brother Ban."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt that the emotions contained in them were too low, not as bright as before.

You shouldn't have brought out your thoughts just now.

She was momentarily bewildered.

"Mana..." Madara called her, "Come here."

He turned to look at her, his gaze swung between Mana and Tomona, his expression was so flat that he couldn't see his thoughts.

Mana bit the condensed wound in her mouth again, using the tingling sensation to wake up her emotional adjustment mechanism, and swept away the little resentment in a blink of an eye, leaving only a piece of pure joy.

"Brother Ban, I finally found you!" She walked lightly, and her hair tied into a ponytail swayed slightly behind her.

She stood beside him, bowed to Zhujian with a smile, and then raised her head and asked, "Then shall we go now?"

"Brother!" Feijian urged on the other end, and the warning eyes slid around them again before giving up.

Madara glanced at the door.

"Ahaha, let's go now." Hashirama said hurriedly, and then turned to show his impatient younger brother a smile of apology and consolation, in exchange for the helpless sigh that the other party had become accustomed to.

Madara and Hashirama walked side by side, and Mana and Tomona followed beside them.

"Mana, were you with Tobima just now?" He asked very bluntly in front of Brother Qianshou.

"Just now?" Mana replied, "Yes, it just happened to happen."

"He bullied you?" I didn't expect this to be the next sentence.

"Hey!" Tobema was a little irritable, "How could I do such a thing!"

"You're in a bad mood." Madara simply ignored Tobima, who was not pleasing to the eye, and only looked at Mana.

"Could it be you..." Hashirama's brain hole was about to open.

"Shut up, brother!" Tobuma became even more irritable.

Mana looked at Tobima, and unsurprisingly received an angry and suspicious look from the other party. The popular explanation can be summed up as "Hey, can you do it? Aren't you always good at pretending? There won't be a problem soon, right?" "so.

At this moment, she really wanted to know what would happen if she nodded.But of course that's just thinking.

"It's a little bit." Mana stroked her bangs that were messed up by the wind, and admitted, "It has nothing to do with Feijian, it's a small matter."

Madara saw that she didn't want to talk, so she said "um" and stopped asking.

Look, that's it, she never said anything if she didn't want to.

...the mood seems to be getting worse, what should I do.

But when he arrived at the venue, Mana had already completed his psychological construction.

"Brother! Mana!" Quanna, who arrived at the venue early, saw a few people who were late, and jumped over eagerly, "You are finally here!"

He complained, seeing Hashirama and Higashima in a blink of an eye, and immediately made a mocking face again: "Oh, there are also Hashirama and Higashima."

A disgusted face of "Why are you here?"

Before Feima got angry, Mana hurriedly asked: "Quenna, have the daimyo's envoys arrived yet?"

Hearing the business, Quan Nai straightened her face, nodded and said, "I've arrived, I'm in the conference room now."

Mana frowned, and asked: "So, as expected, they still did what they said before, and didn't let the daimyo himself come?"

Quanna nodded.

"This kind of thing is always like this." Tomona knew for the first time that Mana actually had the ambition of letting Daimyo come here in person, and could not help but frown and reprimanded, "Daimyo is the supreme leader of a country, ruling the whole country, regardless of status or status. From a security point of view, it’s impossible to go there in person.”

Indeed, daimyo are the supreme leaders and nobles, and as ninjas, they have always been employed as killing tools in the past. Therefore, in the hearts of many people, even ninjas themselves, they have to bow their heads to each other in terms of status .

Mana has never been able to understand this kind of social positioning similar to class division.She told her that the ninjas in this world possessed terrifying powers that ordinary people could hardly match, and science had not yet developed to the point where ordinary people were given weapons that could compete with ninjas.So how did the aristocrats as ordinary people achieve their social dominance?

But there was no time left for them to discuss such political issues at this time.

"Okay Mana." Madara suppressed Mana, who was obviously not convinced, and nodded to his younger brother, "Quenna, take us there."

From the entrance of the venue to the conference room inside, of course, the short distance does not require the technique of instant body.Taking advantage of this time, Quan Nai quickly explained the situation of the messenger group.

"...At this time, they are still delusional about wanting us to surrender to the Fire Nation and turning the village into a subordinate organization completely subordinate to the Fire Nation." Quan Nai complained angrily in a low voice, "Want to suppress the etiquette?" On the one hand, we claim to be representatives of the daimyo, and we should salute them as retainers..."

"Hmph," Mana curled her lips subconsciously, "It's a good idea."

"This kind of thing is impossible." Even a person like Hashirama who is famous for his generosity said decisively, "Didn't we negotiate an equal relationship before?"

"It's just a boring attempt." Madara judged calmly, "Even if you know it's impossible, you will still hold the daydream of 'maybe it will succeed'. If you succeed, you will be ecstatic, but even if you fail, the situation will not be worse. bad……"

"...the usual way of boring people."

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the rest of the people changed to varying degrees.

"...Brother."

"... Brother Madara."

"... Madara." X2

"..." Madara responded to the above people with unmoved eyes, and expressed her doubts with a slight expression.

The two hairs on Hashirama's forehead trembled automatically without any wind, and then he asked a serious question: "Madara, was it you who spoke just now?"

The veins twitched on the freckled head.

"What do you mean, Hashirama?"

"Ahahaha, it really wasn't you, so I said I must have heard it wrong..." Zhu Jian smiled to himself as he stroked his soft black hair.

He covered his face between the doors: "Shut up, brother."

At this time, he just walked to the door, and Quanna, who led the way, retreated behind Madara.

"Here we are." Quanna said.

Everyone withdrew their joking mood at the same time.

The two patriarchs looked at each other, and a tacit understanding was reached with one look.

Hashirama reached out and pushed the door open.

"Awaited."

small theater:

1. For so many years, bit by bit, the relationship between them is so deep that there is no need to distinguish which one it is.

Madara (with a serious face but actually twitching her eyebrows): Actually, Mana, I think it is necessary to distinguish...

Hashirama (with arms akimbo looking up to the sky and laughing): Oh hahahaha it seems I don't need to learn fire escape, they don't need to burn at all!

Figure:

Feijian (holding the forehead): Brother, in fact, you can't learn to escape from fire, right...

Madara (takes out the round fan and sickle): Go to hell and repent, Hashirama! !

#From the beginning to the end, there is nothing wrong with girls#

Mana (==): ...There is no need to distinguish!goodbye!

2. Mana looked at the door, and received a look full of anger and suspicion from the other party. The popular explanation can be summarized as "Hey, can you do it? Aren't you always good at pretending? There will be no problems soon That's it." That's it.

Tobima (Wood): I didn't even know that there were so many meanings in my eyes
