[Hokage] Flower Time

"You've made too much noise."

One day after leaving Konoha Village, Madara said this to her.

She did cause a lot of commotion—the entire Fire Country knew that Uchiha Hanatoki, the notorious traitorous Ninja, had entered Muye Village in a grand manner. This is undoubtedly in Muye Village, which is known as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages. A heavy slap was slapped on the face.The high-level Konoha headed by Danzo was even more furious, after all, she once wanted to kill Danzo.

"Bravely cast ordinary illusions on Konoha ninjas, and entered Konoha Village without hesitation." His voice sank: "This is not what you should do."

"...It doesn't matter." Hua Shi stood firm on the grass: "So what if you overdo it."

—Anyway, he will take her with him.

For a moment, she suddenly felt that she was not afraid of Madara at all.The inexplicable fears and worries of the past disappeared in an instant, and even she didn't know where this cognition came from.However, it was only for a moment.

Taking advantage of that little courage, she stood behind Madara with her hands behind her back, and asked softly, "Hey... Madara, can you look at me again?"

Uchiha Madara walked forward without stopping.His black ninja shoes rubbed against the green grass leaves, leaving behind a delicate rubbing sound.As he walked, he said: "I remember I said that children who always lie will not be forgiven and believed."

"But children always have the right to be forgiven."

"That's what your brother lied to you. Even a child, if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price."

"..."

Huashi suddenly remembered that she once told Madara that she was not a naive child nor naive.Saying something like this now...is really ridiculous.

And, Madara was right.A child does not always have the privilege of being forgiven, and she was not forgiven by God because of her age.

"The other gods have time to use. It's not an illusion that can be used frequently within a few days. Don't worry." She said, "I won't use other gods on you. Don't be afraid."

Because of this disrespectful words, Madara suddenly stopped walking.

"Afraid?" He sneered, "You are still naive."

"Then, can I blindfold myself, okay?" She said, reaching out her hand to untie the forehead guard from her neck, covered her eyes, and stood where she was.

The originally dark night was completely blocked out.The faint moonlight cannot illuminate any corner.

When the eyes are blindfolded, the hearing becomes extraordinarily acute.The rustling sound of grass blades gradually faded away, and no one paid any attention to her standing there.The slight sound of the wind blew by my ears, and the green leaves on the branches were hunting somewhere.Hearing Madara's footsteps drifting away, she couldn't help shouting, "Hey! Madara!"

The wind stopped, and the sound of Madara's footsteps disappeared.She reached out her hand in a little disappointment, trying to untie the forehead covering covering her eyes, but her hand was suddenly grabbed.Just by this tight grip, she knew who the one who stopped her was.

"You're back." She said, then lowered her voice: "Then, please look at me."

Hanatoki's vision is dark, but she guesses that Madara should be watching her.Quietly, quietly turning her wrist, she broke free from his shackles, and while reaching for his body, she whispered in a coaxing tone.

"Shh... don't move. Don't move. Look at me..."

"Listen carefully, the wind is speaking."

She said, quietly putting her hand on Madara's shoulder.She thought he would reach out to stop her, or directly reprimand her for her disobedience, but he turned a blind eye to the clinker, as if he was really listening to the whispers in the wind.

Time passed slowly, and there were whispers of leaves in the wind.She seemed to be able to hear the sound of flowers blooming quietly from nowhere, and those layered petals slowly and slowly unfolded, swaying a green figure in the wind.The moonlight shines to the end of the world, but she can't see it.

She clasped his neck with her hands, stroked his slightly curled black hair all the way, and untied the tie of the orange mask without hindrance.This time, no one spoke, and no one hindered her. Once again, she heard the crisp sound of the mask falling to the ground.

The clattering heartbeat was instantly amplified in the ears.

Huashi wanted to reach out to touch his cheek, but Madara grabbed her wrist and pulled her face away.She turned her arm, unable to break free, she could only continue to rest her arms on his shoulders, wrapping her arms around Madara's neck.

He wouldn't let her touch his cheek.

--why?

Is it because the sense of touch will tell her what he looks like?Does he have slightly raised eye corners and slender eyelashes, does he have a gentle smile and good-looking eyebrows?

Huashi stood on tiptoe again, and her arms around the opponent's neck became tighter, as if she was catching driftwood drifting in the torrent, and she still refused to let go.Madara's breathing was close at hand and clearly audible.

Everything is within reach at this moment.

He was too tall, and even if he spent time on tiptoes, he couldn't make him look at me.Madara reached out and clasped the top of her head, and brought it in his direction. He bent his body slightly, and her palms were keenly aware of this slight change in the back, and her nerves tensed up again, as if with just a slight hook, It can be broken as many as possible, and the whole line retreats.

He leaned over and she looked up on tiptoe.

Hua Shi's fingertips shrunk slightly, and he grasped the skirt behind him tightly.A long time ago afternoon suddenly flashed in her mind, when she took away the clothes that were drying in the courtyard one by one, and the black, wide, charming and beautiful dress fell into her hands.

She seemed to be able to feel the smell of that person.

The sound of Madara's breathing approached her cheek more and more, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and an uncontrollable voice overflowed from her throat, the words were full of confusion and joy.

"elder brother……"

Her unconscious murmur instantly cooled the ambiguous atmosphere down to freezing point.

Madara didn't approach her cheek any more, his indifferent voice rang in her ears.

"Uchiha Shisui is dead."

Those words without emotion made her heart sink instantly.She slowly loosened her hand holding onto the placket, and said, "Then who are you?"

Madara was silent for a while, then said, "Uchiha Madara."

"I don't believe it." She hugged his neck stubbornly and said, "Uchiha Madara is dead, no one can live that long. As long as you are a human being, you will definitely die of old age one day."

"Believe it or not is up to you." Madara stretched out his black gloved hand, stroked her lips with his fingers, and said, "But, you just need to be clear about one thing. Uchiha Shisui is dead."

Her hands gradually stiffened, and finally she let go of Madara's skirt.Huashi took two steps back, broke free from his arm, and stabilized his figure, momentarily at a loss.

Brother...is he dead?

Madara cannot be believed... Everything about him is a lie, his mask, his identity, his name... are all false, so what he said...is also false, right?

She heard a intermittent sound, Uchiha Madara picked up the mask and put it on his face again.She also removed the forehead shield from covering her eyes and pushed it back onto her forehead.

The world that comes into view is the same as before. Uchiha Madara is wearing a black robe and covers his face with an orange mask.The only thing she can see is the scarlet Sharingan.

"Soon, someone will tell you everything." Madara supported the mask with her hand, and said, "Didn't you always want to see Itachi?...he's here."

As if to prove what he said was true, a black crow suddenly passed her eyes.Huashi's sight was captured by the black crow, and she couldn't help but follow the direction the crow flew to - on the other side of the grass, under the moonlit night interlaced with orange and dark blue, a black figure gradually appeared.The crows flying back and forth criss-crossed to draw his figure, allowing people to see his appearance and the robe of red clouds with a black background.

His lower body disappeared when it touched the ground. Obviously, this was also an illusion that the crow brought to her and casually created.

Itachi's eyes moved slightly, scanning Hanatoki and Madara who were standing together.A few crow's feathers swayed and fell in the dark blue grass leaves.

"It's Itachi," she said.

"It seems that you didn't take my warning seriously." Uchiha Itachi said.

"..." She frowned, not knowing how to reply Itachi's words.She wanted to say that she tried to leave, but was stopped by Madara Uchiha who returned in time.

"...Forget it." Itachi lowered his head slightly, and said to her, "In three days, come to see me alone. I will tell you the truth about Shisui. You must come alone." His eyes swept to Madara , his eyes darkened: "As for how to do it... it depends on your own strength. If you don't even have the strength to protect yourself, I won't tell you the truth about Zhishui."

After saying that, a crow flew out of his phantom, flapped its wings and flew towards Huashi's direction, and finally landed on her shoulder.Afterwards, his figure gradually became ethereal, and those black crows scattered and flew towards the sky, leaving only a few messy feathers.

The moonlight as soft as water is the same as before, shining on the vast ground, and the night is deep and never changed.

Huashi turned her head and looked at the crow on her shoulder, feeling a little heavy in her heart.

——Three days later, go to see Uchiha Itachi alone, and she will learn the truth about Shisui.

As long as it's about stopping water, she will definitely go.but……

Her gaze sneaked to Madara, who was also watching her.The eyes of the two collided unexpectedly, and she quickly turned her head with a cold face, pretending that it was just an unintentional glance.

It is not easy to get rid of Uchiha Madara's shackles and go alone, especially when Itachi and Madara seem to be on guard against each other and each has their own constraints.

She thought about it for a while, and suddenly heard Madara's low voice with sarcasm: "Uchiha Itachi... is going to put all his eggs in one basket. It took a lot of trouble, just to get you out of my control. Doing this blatantly in front of me , it seems that he has already planned to sacrifice other people."
