Uchiha Madara was going crazy.

But at this moment, no matter who it is, they can understand him.

Anyone who sees his wife lying on the edge of the pond with her eyes closed and wet all over will not be able to calm down, right? Especially, not long ago, she was still talking and smiling beside him, but she just got up and left for a moment, and then she changed

It has become like this now.

Uchiha Madara quickly walked to the pond, took his wife's cold and wet body from the arms of the clansman who first found her, and immediately reached out to detect her breath. After discovering that she was indeed breathing, he secretly

He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately picked him up.

"What are you still doing? Hot water, ginger tea, doctor!"

"Brother, this way." Uchiha Izuna, who heard the news at the same time as his brother, said immediately. There is no doubt that when his brother rushed to his wife, he had already arranged everything as quickly as possible.

After a while...

Uchiha Madara hugged his wife and jumped into the tea shop owner's private bath. It was much smaller than the one in the Uchiha family, but it was enough.

The point is, the water inside is very hot.

He stood in the water with his wife in his arms, took off her wet clothes indiscriminately, and threw them to the edge of the pool. Then, he kept rubbing her face and body with his hands, trying to warm her up again.

He had just checked the situation, probably because he was rescued not long after falling into the water. There was no water in his wife's body, and there were no obstructions such as mud and weeds in her mouth and nose. In other words, she was trapped by Uchiha.

Before the tribesmen discovered her through the sound, someone rescued her from the water, but left her by the pond.

The biggest reason why she is like this now is probably because of her physical weakness and the fact that she was frozen by the pool water. Even though it is early summer, it is still a summer night, and the pool water at night is much colder than during the day.

Watching my wife's body gradually warm up...

Madara Uchiha breathed a long sigh of relief, hugged his wife and sat down on the steps inside the pool, laying her body on his side, holding her in his arms and supporting the back of her head, and gently pushing her face with the other hand.

, lowered his head and shouted in a low voice: "Hui... Hui... Hui, don't sleep, wake up..."

Wake up and look at him.

With those beautiful and bright eyes.

...If she refused, if she chose to sleep here, then he didn't know what he would do.

so……

"Wake up quickly, Hui, I don't have much patience."

Even so, he still shouted patiently for a few minutes until...

The person in his arms slowly opened his eyes and murmured: "Hai..." The moment he saw the person in front of him clearly, Uchiha Oichi immediately stopped talking.

"Sea?" Uchiha Madara frowned in confusion and asked, "Don't tell me that you fell into the pond because you wanted to see the sea. Otherwise, Megumi, you will never see the sea in your life.

Just because of this little thing, I almost lost my life, almost scared him to death, and almost made Hui and Yao lose their mother. Is this ridiculous?

"..." Uchiha blinked, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Huh?" Madara Uchiha thought his wife was frightened by his somewhat fierce tone, so he quickly coaxed her, "Don't be afraid, I'm not scolding you. Just wake up. If you really want to see the sea, I'll take you with me later."

Is it okay to go? Just take good care of yourself first."

"..." Uchiha lowered his eyes. For a moment, he was so ashamed that he couldn't even say a word.

"...What's wrong?" Uchiha Madara, who has long been accustomed to his wife quarreling with him, stretched out his hand to touch her neck, "Why don't you speak? Could it be that your vocal cords are damaged? Does it hurt?"

"...No." Uchiha raised his hand to hold the man's hand and whispered, "Madara-sama, I...it's okay..."

"What happened..."

Before Uchiha Madara finished speaking, he heard his younger brother's voice coming from outside the bathroom: "Brother, I brought ginger tea, can you come in?"

Uchiha Madara looked down at his wife's current appearance, and immediately stood up again and took off the clothes that were wet but at least warm. He covered the body of the person in his arms carelessly, and then said in a loud voice: "Come in, Izumi

Nai.”

Soon, Uchiha Senna walked to the edge of the bath with ginger tea. He didn't look sideways all the way. Then he squatted down with his back to the bath and handed the bowl to him. There was no doubt that he could predict what his brother and sister-in-law were at this moment.

Image, so I was very polite and didn't notice anything.

"Thank you, Izuna." Uchiha Madara took the ginger tea from his brother and began to feed the person in his arms, "Drink it, it will make you warm from the inside out." Then he asked his brother, "Doctor, please

?”

"On the way here." Uchiha Izuna replied in a very logical manner, "Brother, please take Kei-san and soak for a while longer. When the body is completely warm, the doctor will be brought."

"Yeah." Uchiha Madara nodded again.

After a while, Uchiha finished the ginger tea in the bowl and felt that her body had indeed begun to warm up from the inside out. Only then did she notice her current state, and she suddenly felt uneasy and lifted the lid on herself.

The man's coat on his body, at the same time, caused some goosebumps due to the overly intimate skin-to-skin contact under the clothes.

Uchiha Madara didn't care about this, because his focus was on other things at the moment. He asked directly: "Hui, what happened? Didn't you go to see your mother? Why did you fall into the pond?

"

Uchiha Izuna, who had not left, was sitting with his back to the bathtub, and he also raised his ears to listen to the next answer - as soon as the incident happened, he sent people to control Mrs. Hojo, who was the most suspected, so this

Didn't show up for a while.

After Uchiha was silent for a while, he replied: "I... After talking to my mother, I left her room alone. Then, because it was a little hot, I suddenly wanted to take a walk in the yard alone. As a result, I suddenly

I accidentally stepped on a mossy stone by the pond and fell down, and then...I don't know..." She paused and asked, "Madara-sama, was it you who saved me?

?" The figure she saw at that time... was the same as the one under the water, was it just an illusion?

"No." Uchiha Madara shook his head honestly, "When you were found by the Uchiha tribesmen, you were lying by the pond, and you had already been given the most basic first aid. So, you don't know who the rescuer was?

"

"...Hmm." After Uchiha tried hard to recall for a moment, he nodded slowly, "I don't know."

Uchiha Izuna pondered secretly. The process mentioned by Sister Hui was consistent with what he knew from his investigation. But there were two doubts about this matter——

The first suspicion point is that when he told Mrs. Hojo about the incident of Sister Megumi falling into the water, the latter's face immediately showed a look of sadness, as if Sister Megumi had not fallen into the water but had died. Of course, this does not require a mother to care.

The children can barely make sense;

Then comes the second doubt...

Sister Hui said she wanted to take a walk in the courtyard, but why didn't she wear clogs?

There were no shoes on either side of the pond or in the pond, and when he found her, if he saw it correctly, the soles of her feet still had traces of scratches from stones, which was consistent with her statement of "accidentally guessing the stones" just now.

so……

Rather than saying that she walked to the edge of the pond and accidentally slipped, it was more like she ran over barefoot in an extremely hurry.

Why?

Did she do it voluntarily? Or was she forced?

If she was forced, who was the other party? Why should she hide it for him?

His intuition told him that the breakthrough point...

Maybe it's Mrs. Hojo.

So the question is, how to get the truth out of the other party's mouth? If it is an enemy, it will be easy to handle; but after all, it is an in-law. If there is any "trace of interrogation" left, why should the Hojo family not do anything?

If the secret technique known to the outside world is discovered, it will affect the relationship between the two clans to some extent.

Not to mention, Hojo is Megumi's natal family, and my brother values ​​Megumi, so he has to be cautious.

With such thoughts, Uchiha Izuna stood up and said: "Brother, I'm going to see if the doctor has arrived." In any case, let's finish the matter at hand first, otherwise... not to mention my brother, my eldest nephew's brows

I'm sure I'll be able to kill the mosquitoes now, and my little nephew will probably cry to death right now. He's obviously a boy, how can he cry so well... ugh.

"Go." After his brother left, Uchiha Madara carefully checked the temperature of his wife's body with his hands and made sure it was no longer so cold. Then he walked out of the bath with peace of mind and put her on the bed.

On the seat beside the bathtub, he picked up the clean bath towel lying aside and tried his best to wipe her body gently.

"I...well, I can do it myself..." Uchiha subconsciously curled up his body and said in embarrassment.

Uchiha Madara raised his eyebrows: "Why are you shy? It's not like you haven't seen it before."

"……"Hello!

He looked at the way his wife's hair suddenly exploded, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. Well, yes, he liked her energetic look, so he handed the bath towel in his hand to her and started to wipe her hair.

It wasn't until he put her back into dry and clean clothes that he picked up the towel she used and wiped her hair and body randomly. Then, he also put on dry clothes.

He strode out holding the person in his arms.

"...I can leave by myself."

"Shut up."

"..."

Uchiha Madara looked down at his slightly swollen wife and thought: You are a troublesome and delicate woman. This happened to you when you left my side for a little while. I really wish I could shrink you and hang you around my waist, so that I can feel relieved.

.

Almost as soon as he returned to the room, Uchiha Teru and Uchiha Yoshi rushed over.

The Uchiha who was sitting on the floor opened his arms and hugged the two children.
