"That guy is really..."

Uchiha Izuna said this while holding his forehead.

That's right, during the night vigil break between the wars, he took the time to ask for the "Daily Meow-chan" that his partner Hei had recently collected from Ninja Cat.

Hei was his old partner, so the information sent back was detailed and focused.

For example...

His "good wife" actually used those boring novels to torture his cute little nephew, who is doing things?!

Little girl...

Humph, when he goes back, she will look good!

However, I didn’t expect that she would get along so well with Yao so quickly. Yao... is a more wary child than Hui... Of course, the more such a child is, the keener the intuition and the faster he can discover

She is indeed just a soft glutinous rice bun. When you bite into it, it is filled with sweet bean paste filling. There is no bad stuff at all. Therefore, it is natural for you to be willing to get close to her and get along well with her.

Uchiha usually likes sweets, and children usually like desserts. Well, for Yao, being with her is about double the happiness.

Besides, once people feel lonely, they will subconsciously look for companions, so...

Perhaps it's not surprising that the two got to know each other so quickly.

"How's it going?" Uchiha Madara, who was sitting aside, waited until his younger brother had finished seeing him, and then he asked in a deep voice, "How are you at home?"

Uchiha Teru on the side heard this and immediately raised his head. There was a bandage wrapped around his left arm. He was injured again in the encounter that ended not long ago. Fortunately, the injury was not to his hand.

, so it will not have much impact on his subsequent battles.

Uchiha Izuna chuckled and handed part of the paper in his hand to his eldest nephew and said: "This is the part about Yao, take it and read it."

Uchiha Teru quickly stretched out his hands to take it. He also saw that his father and second uncle seemed to have something to say, so he very consciously took that part of the letter and walked aside. While continuing to watch the night, he took some time to read the news from home.

News about my younger brother. Looking at it, a smile gradually appeared on my face...

Seeing that his brother was doing well at home, he felt relieved.

Going out and fighting hard will instantly make more sense.

When he thought that this happiness was brought to Yao by his second aunt, he felt a little more favorable and grateful to her.

the other side.

"Izuna?" Uchiha Madara could tell that what his brother was about to say was probably a topic that he didn't like to hear.

Uchiha Izuna sighed. Although he didn't really want to bother his brother with this kind of thing, he couldn't ignore him and deal with it directly. After all...

"The people left behind by my sister-in-law... are somewhat resistant to Yao and Kiko getting along. No, it should be more than just Yao." As he spoke, he handed some of the papers he had just left to his brother.

"..." Uchiha Madara was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand and took it. After looking at it for a while, he frowned. After a while, he raised his head and said decisively, "These people can't be kept.

You can deal with it when you get back."

The "process" he mentioned was not to kill, but to go down to work elsewhere. Anyway, they would have little chance to see his two children again. Of course, if they wanted to return to the Hojo clan, he would be happy to let them go.

Travel expenses will even be given.

"Could this be..." Compared to his brother's decisiveness, Uchiha Izuna was a little hesitant, "It's too disrespectful to the Hojo clan? Moreover, Hui and Yao..."

"Face should not be given by others," Uchiha Madara said very straightforwardly, "it is earned by oneself. Moreover, it can be said that Fai and Yao Riye get along with these people. They are indeed good children and will not

Easily influenced, but why gamble?"

How difficult would it be if the children and his brother's wife couldn't get along well with Quan Nai in the middle? For him, his brother is the most important existence in life, and even the children cannot compare with him, so he won't

Let no one cause trouble to Izuna.

Besides, his original intention of keeping these people was to hope that the children would have enough good impressions of their mother's family. In this way, it can be regarded as... finally maintaining the meaning of Megumi's marriage to Uchiha. This is a favor, and

It's not an indulgence. He may owe a favor, but he never owes it to the Hojo clan. Therefore, since these people don't know what to do, there is no need to keep them.

Although he has not known Hui for so many years, he at least knows that she is a loving mother. If she were still here, she would never allow others to overstep and hurt her children like this. Moreover, he also slapped her and said "it's good for the children"

” title.

"Brother, that's what you said." Uchiha Izuna thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then let's do this when we get back."

He wasn't going to say anything about what to do, so as not to annoy his brother even more.

Uchiha Madara didn't intend to ask. Anyway, he already knew about it and entrusted it to his younger brother. That was enough.

This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two brothers.

At this point in the conversation, Uchiha Madara felt that the topic was over, so he turned to smile and said: "Kiko is very good at raising children, and she will definitely become a good mother in the future."

"Come on." In front of his brother, Uchiha Izuna "mercilessly" complained about his little wife, "How can a mother tell those messy stories to her children? It's completely unreliable."

"Well..."

"Brother," Uchiha Izuna looked at his brother warily and asked, "You don't want me to review myself again, do you?"

"..." Don't you understand this very well? Uchiha Madara shook his head helplessly and continued the topic just now, "Since Yao likes her so much, let her help take care of her when there is nothing to do in the future? We are usually too busy, and Hui can't do it now.

Always stay with him." Only close brothers can say something like "lend your wife to me."

"Okay." Uchiha Izuna nodded cheerfully and said jokingly, "It just allows her to accumulate more experience in raising children before having her own children." He had no doubt that they would have children of their own, of course they would.

Yes, what else?

Uchiha Madara chuckled and shook his head.

"Besides, we really have little brothers and sisters," Uchiha Izuna said with a smile, "Yao won't be bored anymore and can play with children."

"..." Quan Nai, what do you think of your child?

However, the big fried cat briefly imagined the scene where his children and his brother's children would get along harmoniously. The feather duster's big tail swung silently twice and felt...well, this is good, very good.

so……

"Izuna, come on."

"..." Uchiha Izuna thought to himself, is this a problem that I can solve by myself? But since my brother said so, I have to get a child as soon as possible to make him happy. Thinking of this, he

He chuckled again and said, "Okay, I'll work hard and try to kill all those annoying guys as soon as possible, and then go home and give birth to a bunch of nieces and nephews for you, brother."

"Well said." Uchiha Madara nodded appreciatively, and then his tone became gentler, "It's getting late, Izuna, you can rest for a while, I will keep watch. After you have enough rest, you will be more energetic, and you will be more capable of killing people."

Have strength."

"Okay." Uchiha Izuna did not refuse. He leaned back slightly and leaned against the trees behind him. He nodded and said, "Then I will rest for a while and I will replace you later."

The outdoors in summer is the most comfortable compared to other seasons. As long as it doesn't rain, ninjas can sleep anywhere they want.

Uchiha Madara didn't speak any more, and just casually threw a piece of dry wood at hand into the bonfire not far ahead. They were not a raid this time, so they didn't need to cover up their presence as much as possible during the march, and it was perfectly fine at night.

Light a fire to boil water, and if you have brought rice balls, you can even grill them over the fire before eating them.

Moreover, in the summer jungle, lighting a fire will save a lot of trouble.

The man with his thick long hair was sitting on the ground, his deep black eyes reflected the bonfire swaying back and forth with the wind. He didn't know what he thought of, and a gentle smile slowly appeared on his face.

At this moment...

Uchiha Teru came back.

Uchiha Madara raised his hands and folded them together to make a "silence" gesture. Then, he made a "you also rest, I will keep watch, and you will take my place later" gesture.

Uchiha Teru nodded immediately, then obediently returned to the tree where he was sitting and sat down, gathered the paper in his hand, and soon lowered his head and fell into a light sleep that could be awakened at any time.

Uchiha Madara stared at the eldest son silently, his eyes stayed on his young and tired face for a few seconds, and then fell on the bandage on his left arm. Then, he sighed slightly, raised his head and looked at Tonight through the gap in the woods.

The sky is filled with stars.

What that guy once said came to mind again for no reason -

"Madara, listen to me!"

"After that place is built, I will build a mountain there and carve our heads on it!"

"That's right, how about letting the avatar stand at the highest place so that people can see us when they go out every day? Isn't it great!"

"Then, at night, we can drink and watch the stars there. The starry sky in winter is the most beautiful, but spring, summer and autumn are not bad either~"

…

He didn't understand the story of the stars, nor did he know so many constellations. He heard the guy tell it several times, but he didn't remember much.

Of course, maybe it's because I didn't remember it at all.

However, I have always remembered the things I wanted to remember.

——Hashirama...

——In this life, do we really have such an opportunity to see the stars in the place you described?

But soon, the man laughed slightly self-deprecatingly.

Haha... Why do I suddenly think of these boring things at this time...

So he threw another piece of wood into the fire.

The flames sway.
