[Hokage] Flower Time

The three black hook jades turned slightly in the scarlet eyes, and then disappeared, all the red disappeared, returning to a black jade-like black.She closed her eyes and let go of her fingers.

The person she had been watching couldn't help but leaned back and fell to the ground, leaning his back against the solid wall, with a dazed expression on his face, and said nothing.

"...Isn't it time to use the kaleidoscope Sharingan?"

Uchiha Madara stood aside, looking at her who had let go.He was dressed in a black robe, and his orange mask concealed his face as usual.The long black hair was scattered over the shoulders, and the hair on the forehead was drooping forward because of the mask.

"You've got the information you want." Hua Shi said, taking a step back: "The smell here is disgusting."

The pervasive bloody smell never dissipated at the end of the nose, like a nightmare that lingered in his mind repeatedly.

"Bietenshin is indeed not a pupil technique that can be used frequently, but..." Uchiha Madara paused, and said, "Forget it."

"What do you want to say?" Huashi turned her back and turned her back to him.

She closed her eyes, then slowly opened them again, and the Sharingan, which was different from the basic Sangou jade, emerged in her eyes.She frowned, and her eyes drifted aside, watching the motionless shadow at her feet.

"It's nothing." Uchiha Madara said: "You are still too weak now."

Before he could finish his sentence, Huashi felt a chill on her neck, and something cold had already touched her neck.She opened her eyes wide because of this, and her body froze.

"The meaning of you to me is just those eyes." Uchiha Madara, who put Kunai on her neck, said slowly in a low voice: "You'd better give up your unnecessary innocence and childishness. This is me My last advice to you."

"Tongli... the pupil power of the Uchiha clan, the pupil power that grows with hatred. Your hatred is far from enough..."

The cold touch on the side of the neck receded, and Kunai's sharp blade slashed across her skin, leaving a bloodstain.At first, there was only a row of tiny blood beads oozing from that wound, and then blood began to flow out.

The itchy stinging sensation made her stiff body gradually regain her intuition, and her eyes turned back to their original color.She put one hand on the wound on her neck, touched the warm blood with her fingers, turned her head, and said coldly to Uchiha Madara: "Of course I know such a thing."

"You really want to know the whereabouts of Zhishui?"

Uchiha Madara put away Kunai and asked a question.

Hua Shi touched the wound on his neck, but didn't answer.

"...If you become strong enough." He said, "I can take you to meet Uchiha Itachi."

The seductive words made her startled.

——Uchiha Itachi...?

"How? My companions, and...followers?"

Uchiha Madara's deep voice was still in his ears.

"I remember." Huashi looked at his Sharingan and said, "You told me not long ago that you have no clue about Uchiha Itachi's whereabouts, so you can't answer my question."

"Really?" Uchiha Madara asked back: "That should be your memory."

Hua Shi's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.After a long silence, she suddenly looked solemn, and said: "Actually, you know everything, right? You have always known the whereabouts of Uchiha Itachi, right? The place called the Land of Rain that you took me to... see Is that guy the leader of the so-called Akatsuki organization?"

"'The god of Yuyin Village is the leader of the Akatsuki organization'... You only need to inquire about such rumors in that city." She said, "Even so, you didn't hide my intention and let me go. Quietly seek information."

"You like this..." She lowered her voice, "I don't understand what you want to do."

"Whether I tell you or not, it's all on my whim." Madara Uchiha seldom explained her doubts, with sarcasm in his language: "It's just a whim, that's all."

"Then let's go quickly." She no longer had the patience to face Uchiha Madara's hot and cold attitude and ubiquitous teasing, and walked out with a frown.She carefully avoided the puddles mixed with blood under her feet, and walked quickly towards the light.

"Wait a moment."

Uchiha Madara called to her.

"What are you doing again?" She stopped and turned her head angrily, "Didn't you already get the information you wanted?"

He didn't answer, but walked over slowly.He stretched out a hand, and under her puzzled gaze, he stretched his fingers towards her neck.Because of this sudden movement, Hua Shi wanted to take a step back vigilantly, but her feet froze before she raised her feet, because the other party put her fingers on her wound and stroked the wound little by little.

"The wound hasn't been healed yet."

"..." She turned her head and did not speak.

Now she has only one goal, to become stronger.

... At least he can escape Uchiha Madara's control, and has the right to decide his own fate.Then go to explore the secret behind Zhishui's disappearance.

Even if she meets Uchiha Itachi, she may not be able to learn the so-called truth.Once that man decided to hide a certain matter to the end, he might really bring this matter to his grave.

She can't just pin her misty hopes on Uchiha Itachi.

Even though more than two years have passed, she still can't believe the reason for "throwing herself in water because she was tired of the task and the future".

She bent her body and put her arms under her head.The closed eyes can't see anything, and there is darkness in front of them.Even under the heavy quilt, the coldness could not stop coming.The soles of bare|bare feet are icy cold, and there is no warmth in the palms.

She suddenly heard a soft rustling sound from outside the house. It was the snow accumulated on the roof that slid down along the slope of the roof and smashed to the ground.Such a voice made her open her eyes suddenly.

——Brother, listen, it's snowing outside.

- Go to bed, it's getting late.

The sound of crushed snow falling on the ground made her unable to sleep again.Regardless of the coldness and chill, she lifted off the quilt and stood up.His bare feet stepped directly on the cold floor, and his bare arms trembled slightly because he didn't put on his coat.

She stepped through this completely unfamiliar room and stood in front of the sliding door of another room.It was pitch black, without any lights or figures, and there was no sound of breathing.Even so, she still tremblingly put her hand on the door frame, and slowly opened a gap.

"Yo—"

Bai Jue's energetic voice sounded there: "Will you play hide-and-seek with me?"

Hua Shi closed the door fiercely, clamped Bai Jue who suddenly appeared in the door frame, and walked back to sleep.

"Wait--Blade asked me to take care of you, not to let you play with me... Don't think that you can treat me like this because Madara thinks highly of you... My little dinosaur is stuck in it..." Bai Jue Shouts echoed in the empty corridor.

She no longer is kept awake by the sound of falling snow.Even the sound of Bai Jue crying for the little dinosaur could not wake her from deep sleep.

She had a dream, dreaming that Zhishui came to her side, squatted down, and stretched out his hand toward her neck.She was very puzzled by the other party's actions, and then belatedly remembered that there was a scar on her neck.

I can't remember who caused the wound.

But... if his brother sees it, he will feel guilty for it.

Thinking of this, she unconsciously stretched her hand towards her neck, trying to raise her collar to cover the scar, but she touched that person's hand in an instant.It was a real, tactile hand, not an empty, passable, non-existent hand.

Because of this sudden touch, her heart froze suddenly.As if trying to catch some fleeting and fleeting firework, she tightly grasped that hand, like a drowning person encountering a lone boat floating in the sea.

"I found you."

she murmured.

——In the unknowing dream, is she playing hide-and-seek with someone?Are you playing hide-and-seek with eight-year-old Zhishui, or are you bored playing games with crows because Zhishui is out on a mission?Or playing hide and seek with Sasuke who also has no brother?

In short, she found the other party.

"This time, sleep with me too." She tugged that hand towards her face, and fell into a deeper sleep with satisfaction.

Someone was covering her body and resting her head in his arms.She didn't know who it was, but it didn't wake her up.Even if she knew, she should wake up from the dream and should always be vigilant.

Forgive this evening of indulging.

When I woke up again, everything in the dream was gone.She felt her neck was sore, as if she had a stiff neck last night.She hasn't slept in a normal bed for a long time - she has been sleeping in the open air and living on the ground, and once she has a pillow, she is not used to it.

While moving her neck, she put on her coat.

I always feel... something strange.

She stroked her neck with her fingers, and finally raised her collar to cover up all traces.

Is she overthinking...

It's just a dream.

Stepping through the empty corridor and pushing open the thin paper door, the snowflakes outside the house rushed towards her face.Even though it had been falling all night, the drifting snow showed no sign of stopping.Everything in the courtyard has long been covered with thick snow, and the abandoned flowerpots placed under the eaves are also full of snow.

"You're awake."

Bai Jue emerged from the ground, shook the snow on his head, and said, "Mara said that I will take you to see Nanga Shrine."

"Where's that guy?" she asked.

"...I don't know." Jue's tone was a little confused: "I'm afraid I was delayed by something."

"Then let's go." Without any hesitation, she jumped towards the snow-covered tree branch: "I know the way."
