After breakfast.

Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Ouzhi, who had used the transformation technique, saw on the shoal at the door the small wooden boat that Nine-Tails and Three-Tails had built overnight. It was tied with a rope to a wooden stake that was inserted into the ground.

Don't tell me, it looks pretty decent.

The little girl walked back and forth around the boat several times and gave a thumbs up: "I really have you, Nine Lamas."

"That's not true." Kyuubi, who was held in her arms, cocked her ears proudly and accepted the praise without any humility.

"As a reward, I will go to the town later to buy you roast chicken and fried tofu~"

"Ouch~"

The three tails slowly followed Madara Uchiha onto the boat.

Seeing the ship completely floating on the sea, the little black cat looked at the big black cat who picked up the wooden oar, and took out a yellow handkerchief from somewhere, waving it back and forth: "Anada, I wish you a smooth sailing and a safe return."

"

Uchiha Madara: "..." It's really like that. The name "Anada" is also quite pleasant. He hooked his fingers at her and said, "Want to go together?" Floating alone on the sea.

One day, I felt lonely and bored, even though I could read a scroll.

"Ah, forget it." She waved her hand and replied, "It seems that the custom here is that you cannot take women to sea, otherwise the dragon god of the sea will overturn the ship in anger."

Uchiha Madara thought: It dares.

But looking at the other residents in the village, it was basically the same - the men got on the fishing boats, and the women were alone or with their children waving goodbye. His heart moved slightly, and he really felt a bit like a fisherman. So he didn't say anything else.

?,  but instead rowed away in a natural and smooth motion.

Don't ask, asking is just using the Sharingan again to cheat.

The Uchiha watched the ship and the man's back getting further and further away, and murmured: "Should we be able to return safely? Come on?"

Kyuubi rolled his eyes without giving her face: "What can it mean? Even if there is a storm on the sea, even if Isotani is not there, it will be perfectly fine for him to be alone, right?"

"...That's true." She also realized that she was a bit unfounded, but...

She glanced sideways at the other village women who were returning home one after another, and thought: Of course I know that Brother Ban will be fine; but these women, every time they say goodbye to their fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons...

...you must be worried about something unusual. After all, no one can predict what will happen at sea? That is an area that humans have not touched so far, and it is also an area that humans have not yet touched.

Uncontrollable nature.

the other side.

Uchiha Madara shook the oar expressionlessly, filled with only boredom - although it was his first time to do such a thing, he really had no interest in such a thing at all. If he had been replaced by that guy Hashirama, maybe

You'll be in high spirits.

but……

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the other fishing boats that were out at the same time and the civilian fishermen sitting on them, and decided to continue pretending for the time being.

However, as he rowed, he suddenly felt that something was not right.

The ship seemed to be making strange noises.

"Um?"

Sanwei, who was shrinking his head in the cabin, also poked his head out, looking left and right, and then, one person and one animal discovered that this new ship seemed...

Water got in.

Uchiha Madara: "..." After he was silent for a while, he asked the three tails, "How is this ship made?"

Sanwei: "..." It thought to itself, Nine Lamas, have you tricked me again? Then Lao Lao Lao replied honestly, "It is made of wooden boards and glue from the toy store."

"Glue." Uchiha Madara was almost laughed out of anger. Forget it if it was special glue, but it was actually from a toy store. Sure enough, things like beasts are really unreliable.

But at this moment, it seemed that it was too late to say this. The glue's ability to melt when exposed to water seemed to show up a bit quickly. Not long after, the ship completely dissolved on the sea...

A pile of wooden boards.

Uchiha Madara stood treading water on the sea, silently looking at the three-tailed Isoba who was also lying on the sea, and asked seriously: "You guys have agreed to attack me?" According to the answer, the three-tailed can choose how many points he has.

Ripe.

The three-tailed tail, which has always been slow to respond, showed an extraordinary response speed this time. It shook its head desperately and directly denied the third consecutive: "I didn't, I really didn't, absolutely not."

What happened to this ship was undoubtedly noticed by other ships in the distance, so the others hurriedly rowed their boats to come to the rescue - although they had not said hello so far, but no matter what, it was a human life.

However, Uchiha Madara did not want to be rescued at all.

...Well, after all, this is a man who loves face very much. It would be fine if he sank on his first trip to sea in front of other people. If he was rescued again, it would be really too...ahem.

So, he did not hesitate to use an illusion on the group of fishermen, and the group of people who rushed over to rescue only saw -

The ship fell apart under Big Cat's feet.

The big cat fell into the water.

big cat

How many times did you struggle?

The big cat "GuluGulu" started to drink water.

The big cat has sunk to the bottom.

No more big cats.

A group of fishermen who jumped into the water to rescue the fish finally caught nothing.

"No, it sank too quickly."

"This is unreasonable. That person doesn't look particularly fat, so why did he sink so quickly?"

"...Maybe the frame is heavier."

…

Uchiha Madara, who was accidentally complained about his weight by ordinary people: "..."

However, this group of people were really serious about their search. After going back and forth many times, they gave up helplessly and looked at each other and asked each other -

"What now?"

"He drowned on the first day he came out of the water after moving here...what a bad luck..."

"Hey, this is life. He seems to have a wife, right?"

"Yes, he looks so small. If the man dies, how will he live in the future..."

"Don't go fishing today. Let's go back first..."

"Why……"

…

Uchiha Madara, who was confirmed dead by a group of people: "..."

However, it was obviously impossible for him to show up rashly, so he could only watch the group of people go back. However, he also knew that for these fishermen, the daily harvest was very important. So after a little hesitation

, he winked at Sanwei on the side.

Sanwei: "?"

He winked again.

Sanwei: “??”

Uchiha Madara resisted the urge to kick it and said, "Help them."

Sanwei: "???"

Help with what??

"...get some fish next to their boat."

Let that group of people make a little profit from the Internet cafe when they go back. After all, he has to bear a little responsibility for their return halfway.

"Oh." The three tails nodded obediently - it is not smart, but it is obedient.

So, it silently dived into the water and drove some fish to the boat of the group of fishermen. The latter were surprised and unexpectedly cast a net and caught some, and they actually caught more fish than they usually catch when going out to sea.

Uchiha Madara watched the group of people leave, hesitated slightly in place, and finally walked slowly through the sea water towards the distance. When he went out not long ago, he vowed that he could fish to support his family, but not long after

There would be no boat and no fish, and if he just went back...well, he couldn't lose his face, so let's hang out outside for the time being.

Sanwei swam beside him silently for a long time, and suddenly his soul felt blessed, and his whole body suddenly grew bigger.

Then he slightly tilted his body towards the man.

Uchiha Madara glanced at it and felt that the tailed beast was still barely usable, so he jumped up and found a fairly flat place to sit down cross-legged, casually opened the scroll he carried with him, and fell into studying again.

And at this time...

Uchiha, who had no idea what was going on?, was wandering around the town casually with Kyuubi in his arms, packing roast chicken and fried tofu for Kyuubi, vegetable tempura for Mio, and vegetable tempura for Madara and himself.

I packed some tofu sushi and sweets. By the way, I bought some dishes for dinner. Then, on Kyuubi's suggestion, I went to the bookstore and bought a few commonly used cookbooks.

Although she thinks she should be able to cook, even though her skills are average, Kyuubi is right, she is right to study more, huh~
