[Hokage] Flower Time

The four seasons here are not distinct, and the autumn trees will not lose their emerald green color, nor will they turn into the golden color she expected all over the mountains and plains.When winter came, the temperature did drop, but there was no falling snow.

This is a completely different place from Konoha Village.

If her calculations were correct, the new year had already arrived.When the cherry blossom tree in the fence of Konoha Hospital is in full bloom, it should be her birthday.That's her name too - Time to Bloom.

This is a very important day, brother can not forget.

Does he give himself gifts?

Don't be a little dinosaur.

A sudden pain came, and she was punched and fell to the ground.The Kunai that slipped out of her hand circled in the air and then fell, stabbing the ground next to her cheek.

"You were distracted while fighting." Uchiha Madara withdrew his hand and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking?"

She got up from the ground, wiped the dust on her cheeks with her cuff, and said in a low voice: "I'm wondering why the Uchiha clan became what it is today."

Despite the serious nonsense, Madara believed her words.

"Do you want to know the reason?" The other party stopped and did not continue to attack her: "If you want to know, all this must start with the story before Konoha Ninja Village was established 60 years ago."

The corner of Hua Shi's mouth twitched.

——A person who likes to preach, once he starts to tell a story, he will spout a lot of nonsense at a long time.

"In the Warring States period more than [-] years ago, the five great powers fought against each other, and the small powers were also in constant war. No matter which country they were, they hired ninjas to fight each other. Among these ninja families, only two families always stood at the top. , never lost."

"That is our Uchiha clan, and the only Senju clan that has the power to contend with the Uchiha clan. I, Uchiha Madara, as the leader of the Uchiha clan, lead the clan and the Senju clan to fight day after day. Animosity grows against each other, and more and more people die in battle."

"Until one day, neither of the two parties could continue to persist in the consumption of war, so they signed a peace contract and established Ninja Village as a symbol of the alliance. That village is today's Konoha Village. As the strongest of the five major countries In the big alliance, Konoha Ninja Village was once cited as the best example.”

"However, under the appearance of peace, the cold war between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan has never stopped. The patriarch of the Senju clan, Hashima, became the first Hokage, and the dissatisfaction of the Uchiha clan has been secretly buried. In the long years that followed, the Uchiha clan and the village center represented by Senju never stopped playing games."

"After the Kyuubi attack on the village eight years ago, Konoha Ninja Village became even more suspicious of the Uchiha clan. Since then, they have begun to closely monitor the Uchiha clan. After that, the Uchiha clan was also unbearable. Oppression and discrimination, a rebellion was planned by the patriarch Fuyue."

"But...no one expected that Uchiha Itachi, who was placed in Anbu, would become a double agent, leaking all the information about the family to the center of the village, and ending the rebellion by himself."

"It is not Uchiha Itachi's fault that today's Uchiha Clan is exterminated. The long-term exclusion and discrimination are the reasons why the Uchiha Clan and Konoha Ninja Village cannot continue to live in peace. Even if Uchiha Itachi does not choose In doing so, it is only a matter of time before the war begins and conflicts erupt.”

"As for the reason why he did this..." Uchiha Madara paused and said, "He hates war more than anyone else. You must not know what war is like?"

Hearing his last words, Hua Shi, who was sitting on the ground, couldn't help but startled.

What war was like, she really didn't know.She was born at the end of the Ninja War, and by the time I can remember, the war was over.And Itachi, who is one year older than her, should have followed Master Fuyue to the battlefield very early, right?

She remembered that Zhishui once answered her similar questions.After a series of answers of "buy", "you are the most beautiful", "like spending time better than ferret", "not fat at all", he said in a low voice: "war is the most terrible thing, no matter what yes."

At that time, Zhishui took her hand and walked back from the hero cemetery.The rows of tombstones in the cemetery lay there silently and eternally. Many children not much older than her became so-called heroes because of the war, such as Kakashi's past two partners.

"Too naive to realize the cruelty of reality. That's where your limitations lie," Madara said to her, before falling silent at the end.

She looked up, looked at the mask Madara used to hide her face and expression, and asked, "Are you really Uchiha Madara?"

The other party did not answer.

With a cold face, she asked again: "If you are really Uchiha Madara, why doesn't your hair stick up like a hedgehog as carved on the statue?"

"...You talk too much." Uchiha Madara stepped out: "Before you become a strong person, you'd better get rid of this character."

Huashi picked up his own kunai and stabbed it hard on the ground.

"Madara, are you leaving again?" Bai Jue leaned out from the wall and said, "The matter in the Land of Rain looks very difficult."

"...It's not difficult." Madara stopped in the corridor, and had a simple conversation with Bai Jue: "He can handle all this, he is the leader, and I don't need to interfere too much."

After saying this, Madara walked out again.

"It's war again... It's quite nostalgic." Bai Jue said, suddenly remembered something, he blinked his green eyes, and said: "Speaking of which, Xiao Huashi's birthday seems to be coming soon."

Madara's footsteps faltered, and then continued to walk forward.He didn't make a sound, and didn't look back, so he kept walking towards the bright place until he finally disappeared within the range of vision.

"Ah, really." Bai Jue complained, "Madara really doesn't have any interest in life. After finally having someone to talk to, it's still the same as before."

"Ah, that's right." Bai Jue retracted from the wall, then shook his body and got out from the ground at Huashi's feet.It shook off the leaves that wrapped itself, and took out something from its bosom like offering a treasure, and showed it in front of Huashi: "Dangdang—Happy Birthday!"

The little green dinosaur exudes divine light in the white hands.

Huashi silently put Kunai back into her ninja bag, ignoring Bai Jue who was holding the little dinosaur.

Bai Jue took back the little dinosaur, glanced at it, and said in a puzzled tone: "According to the information I collected, this should be your favorite thing. Don't you like it? Ah, really, I still I want to celebrate your birthday."

"...Shut up." Huashi lowered his head and said, "I'm not in the mood to celebrate my birthday now."

"It's okay." Bai Jue waved the little dinosaur in his hand: "If you like it, just say it."

"...I don't like it." She said, narrowing her eyes: "You know my information very well?"

"Of course. I know everything about you." Bai Jue put down his arm holding the little dinosaur, and his tone was very cheerful and proud: "Birthday is April 82th, and the age for entering ninja school is four years old. The age for graduation He is eight years old. He often appears in dessert shops and his home. He likes sweets but not spicy food. His hobby is raising crows. He has performed 4 D-level tasks, 0 C-level tasks, and [-] times in both B-level and A-level tasks. .The most frequently received gift is a small dinosaur.”

"..."

There was a quiet silence.

"I'm going to rest." She said simply, and pushed open the door of an empty room.The creaking sound of the door leaf opening echoed one by one in the deep corridor.

After a heavy and dull sound, the door closed.In front of her eyes, there was only darkness left.There was no more chatter from Bai Jue, nor was there any flickering fire.Relying on her extraordinary pupil power in the dark, she walked to the bed without hindrance in a few steps, and threw her whole body on it.He fell asleep without undressing, without lifting the thin quilt, or even taking off the forehead guard with a scratch on his forehead.

When she woke up again, she realized that someone was watching her in the dark.Instinctively, her first reaction was to take out the Kunai in her hand and hold it tightly.

Soon, she realized who that person was.

She didn't turn over, nor let go of the kunai in her hand, she still turned her back to him, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

"Get up. I'll take you to the Land of Rain."

"..." She put the Kunai in her hand back into her sleeve, and sat up, puzzled by his coming and going and sudden request.She quietly arranged her skirt and long hair in the dark. From the beginning to the end, the other party had no intention of leaving, and stood silently in the dark watching her.

After pushing the door open, light leaked into the darkness through the crack of the door, casting a slender area of ​​light on the ground, and Bai Jue's energetic words also broke the silence between them.

"Do you want to go out when you are a little flower? Remember to bring the little dinosaur I gave you."

"..."

Hua Shi kept a cold face and didn't answer. He never stopped, and passed by Bai Jue who was holding the little dinosaur high.Jue blinked his eyes, and retracted into the wall with the little dinosaur.

"It seems that you and Jue get along well." Madara's eyes moved slightly, and his Sharingan eyes, which had never been closed, swept in her direction.

"No." Her answer was simple.

"I hope so too." Madara's words became increasingly unclear.

"You..." she suddenly asked, "Can't you close your Sharingan?"

"..." The other party didn't answer.

He is also a man who can't say anything.

She suddenly realized that there is no one in this world who "knows everything" to her.All the people speak in a half-covered manner, under the vague words, there are some kind of calculations and conspiracies hidden.Also, no one can be trusted.Once she loses the value of being used, I'm afraid she will be abandoned like a shoe.

This was a "world" that she had never been aware of before.
