Uchiha Madara thought expressionlessly: Oh, I remembered it.

He had already noticed that a certain dancer and a wandering warrior had been flirting with each other some time ago, and the two of them would go into the woods together from time to time. Except for this idiot, the rest of the people had no idea about this matter.

It was tacitly understood. However, she didn't expect that even if she didn't realize it until now, she still naively thought that the two were in love.

Is she really? I don’t know, the so-called wandering singer and wandering dancer, in addition to her own job, she is also working at the same time.

At first, when she suggested "becoming a singer", he wanted to see her shocked face after knowing the truth with a little "malice", but now, he suddenly felt that something was hard to explain.

...It’s really difficult to handle.

It's just that it's really hard to explain.

So he could only respond vaguely: "Yes, I understand." After he finished speaking, he paused and reminded, "You... don't peek."

"...I'm not that kind of person!" the little girl puffed up her face and emphasized.

Uchiha Madara: "..." It's not that he doesn't believe her, it's just that he doesn't want her to be too pure. What should he see with his eyes? Dirty things.

After that, he briefly observed the dancer who was said to be named "Meako" and saw that she was frivolous. When he noticed his gaze, she even winked at him and pushed him.

The dancing girl next to me, I don't remember, was her name "A Chun" or "Xia Zi"? She let out a burst of laughter.

Uchiha Madara stopped talking to them.

In fact, he and his domestic kitten have already agreed that when they get to the next town, they will part ways with the group of people who have been traveling together for about ten days and head to the capital of the River Kingdom instead.

However, when they stayed in the wild that night, something like this happened——

Everyone had finished their dinner and was getting ready to rest.

Uchiha Madara and the girl sensed a burst of chakra at the same time. Although it was not strong, they still maintained their due vigilance. Soon after, three young men who did not have any forehead protectors but were dressed as ninjas appeared.

The people came over. After seeing the people, they were stunned for a moment, and then, while looking at the women in the team, they showed a subtle smile.

Uchiha Madara frowned slightly, stretched out his arm, and blocked the little girl behind him. Although according to the strength of these people, they were probably not enough to cause her any trouble, he still did it, subconsciously?

. She was surprised for a moment, and then she shrank obediently behind him, cautiously poking her head around, as if she didn't understand what was going on.

However, even though she was an adult, she looked really small, so the eyes of this group of people only glanced at her, and then they settled on a few dancing girls who looked mature and charming.

Immediately afterwards, the three people walked over quickly and dropped some money in front of the dancer they chose. The latter suddenly smiled, stretched out her hand to grab the money, then stood up and followed them.

Behind them, several ninjas walked into the dense forest behind them.

These three dancers include the one called "Meiko"?

"!"

The girl's eyes widened.

Uchiha Madara could clearly feel her hand tightening on his shoulder, so he turned to look at her, and saw her staring blankly at Meiko who was following a certain ninja, and then looking to the side blankly.

The wandering warrior Yasui, who was sitting under the tree as if it had nothing to do with him, had confusion written all over his face.

Then she started looking at other people.

But everyone looked calm, as if this was a normal thing.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she said something.

Only Madara Uchiha heard it clearly. What she said was "That sister also...does this...". He immediately understood what she meant, and she remembered the story told by the storyteller that day, although the latter said

It was vague, but it did mention that her sister would sometimes "play" with some men during the trip. She didn't understand it at the time, but she understands it now.

But, in this world, this is a normal thing.

Everyone else present seriously felt that "in a few years, when she grows up," they would live such a life, so they didn't mind talking about it in front of her. Or in other words, they acquiesced.

Now that the "brother and sister" have started wandering, they are already prepared to live this kind of life in the future.

To be realistic, how can you really support yourself just by singing or dancing? You must be engaged in some other "job".

Whether those ninjas were too eager or on purpose, they didn't go too far, so soon, some strange sounds came over.

The men showed knowing smiles, including Yasui.

Some of the women were shy, while others were also snickering meaningfully.

Uchiha Madara was still looking at the girl behind him, and all he could see was her face:

"Shua"? She immediately turned red, as if she was vaguely aware of something. At the same time, her beautiful big eyes also had a slight gleam of water. Although she knew that it was impossible for her to cry because of such a thing, it was probably just ordinary.

It was just shy, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He always had the character to do whatever he wanted, so he simply pulled her into his arms with his backhand. When she whispered "Ah!", he held her too thin waist with one hand and circled her back with the other.

He grabbed her little head and pushed her face directly into his arms, while his arms and hands just blocked her ears.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Madara felt her reach out and grab the clothes on his chest, tightening her fingers little by little, and then buried her little head deeper.

People who noticed this scene couldn't help but smile knowingly. The meaning of the smile was probably this -

Still a little girl~

Uchiha Madara noticed that the dancer named "Haruko" or "Asha" seemed to be staring at him for a while.

But he didn't have time to talk to the other party. He just thought that maybe he should have a careful talk with the domestic cat Huai, lest one day he was not careful and she was deceived by an inexplicable wild dog on the roadside - although he didn't think so.

She will suffer a loss in terms of force, but her mind is so simple that she can even regard that kind of relationship as a love relationship. If she meets someone with ulterior motives... it will obviously not be good.

Thinking like this? He subconsciously reached out his hand and patted the pregnant woman's little head.

Then, I felt her move her head slightly, as if she was taking the initiative to rub his palm.

He was stunned for a moment, and then slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

After some time, the ninjas walked back from the depths of the jungle while sorting their clothes. However, they did not stop and left directly past the crowd.

After that, several dancers also came back together. Their hair and the bottom of their clothes were stained with some water stains. It seemed that they had been specially cleaned before coming back. However, the one named "Meiko"?

There were some bruises on the dancer's forehead and corners of her mouth, as if she had been treated roughly.

She didn't seem to care much about it. After sitting down, she happily said to the other dancers: "The ninja I met this time was not bad. Not only did he give me money, he was also generous."

It seems that I have become accustomed to the so-called "ninja-sama" not giving money.

Not called "Chunzi", not "Achun", not "Xiazi", not "Axia", let alone "Dongyue", but "Qiu Sui"? The dancer said with some worry: "Your?"

hurt…

…Are you okay?”

"It's okay." Meiko waved her hand nonchalantly, "You also know? These? Ninja-sama have some of them. Not serious or serious. Aren't we all used to it?"

"..." Qiu Sui fell into silence.

At the same time, Yasui remained silent and seemed unconcerned.

Madara Uchiha noticed that the girl he was pregnant with had raised his head and gently tugged on his clothes. She looked at him with big eyes without blinking, as if to say——

Madara-sama, I have something to say, and I want to say it now.

He then stood up with her in his arms and put her on the ground. She leaned down slightly and picked up the water jug, so the "brother and sister" walked towards the forest one after another. Because this was a common thing.

, so the others didn’t say anything.

But there is a homeless man who just recently joined the team. There is a bit of a vulgarity there. He chuckles: "If I didn't know them both... I would almost think..."

"Look at how old Kyoko is, just keep your mouth shut." Qiu Sui glanced at him and said angrily.

The idle man replied angrily: "Everyone is gone, who are you going to show off to please my sister? I think that Naoki guy is a bit visionary, and he usually doesn't even take a look at you guys? Woman. You,

It’s better to give up this attachment as soon as possible.”

"you……"

…

The dispute was not loud, but the two people who had already walked into the forest could hear it clearly. After all, they were ninjas with sharp ears and eyesight.

"...Huh?" She showed a shocked expression, "Qiu, Sister Qiu Sui, Madara-sama, you..."

"Don't worry about that." Uchiha Madara said coldly, not that he was discriminating against the other person's identity or profession - after all, civilians in this world have a difficult life, but yes? He is indeed not interested, and even he is not interested now.

Only then did I learn that the other person’s name was “Qiu Sui”.

The two walked to the river.

Uchiha Madara looked down at the girl squatting down to fetch water, and asked: "What did you want to say just now?"

"Just..." She stood up holding the water jug, "I'm a little confused about Yasui and Meiko's relationship... They are quite close, right? I, I actually accidentally saw them kissing..."

Uchiha Madara: "..." He asked calmly, "So?"

"So, aren't they dating?" She stammered in explanation, "What happened tonight? I, I, I know a little bit about it, but, Yasui never gave Meako any money, so the two of them should

Are you...in love...?"

Speaking of the most

Afterwards, she herself was no longer sure.

Uchiha Madara: "..." So, why does he have to explain this?
