After the Uchiha happily rolled in the fragrant fresh rushes for a while, with a "hey" sound, a cat's head emerged from the haystack, and looked at the car behind him with a smile.

man.

"Brother Madara!"

"Um?"

"Want to come up and join us?"

"No need."

“It’s really comfortable~”

"I'll just walk."

“But it’s really, really comfortable~”

"..."

Uchiha Madara showed a helpless expression, but he still and habitually chose to compromise on such small things. He walked to the back of the bullock cart and sat behind it. He really didn't like to compromise or talk about many things.

A man who refuses to give in, but on the contrary, there are many things in daily life that he is really too lazy to care about. This is not a contradiction. Just as he is a famous Uchiha clan leader on the outside, on the inside he is a man who loves his younger brother in every possible way.

A dedicated brother.

Freshly harvested rushes have a pleasant smell, which is similar to but different from rush mats.

Uchiha Madara breathed in the fresh smell of grass in the air, and he must admit that he quite liked the smell.

Maybe no one will hate it.

Because rush mat can be said to be one of the common items in families in this world. No matter what kind of family, it exists in the home. And everyone has been familiar with and accustomed to its smell since birth.

At this moment, surrounded by such a breath, there is indeed a feeling of "going back to the beginning"... How should I put it, it is easy to calm down.

For him, such leisurely moments are undoubtedly rare.

Uchiha Madara suddenly understood the meaning of why his younger brother had to come by himself, not only because he didn’t want to break his promise to his younger sister-in-law, but also because he hoped that he could relax a little...? However, he is really confident. How can he feel so sure?

, can he relax when he comes out with her?

Just when he thought this, he felt the rushes beside him tremble slightly, so he turned to look and saw a cat's head suddenly emerging from the grass beside him, with a stick stuck on its head.

The girl who piled green grass said to him with a bright smile——

"Hey~!"

As he spoke, he raised his hands high, like a kitten spreading its two pads.

Uchiha Madara was immediately amused by the childish and cute scene. He raised his hand and patted the grass blades on her head, and said softly: "It's so dirty, be careful if I go back and Izuna will tell me."

"...Will Brother Ban help me then?"

"Hmm..." Uchiha Madara thought for a moment and nodded, "Yeah." After all, cats are originally naughty creatures. What's wrong with being covered in dust after going out to play? In the past, even such a cat would be on his bed.

He never said anything when it rolled around, he just grabbed it and put it aside.

"That's no problem~" Uchiha crawled out of the grass and sat at the back of the cart. He came close to the man and swung his legs happily, "Let's talk about it, Madara."

"Um?"

"Remember? At that time, you told me that when Izuna-kun takes me home, I can use an ox cart. You also said that you can let him teach me how to drive."

"Well, that's what happened."

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time, but I didn't expect that my first ride on a bullock cart would be under such circumstances!"

"Are you disappointed?" Madara Uchiha glanced at the too simple environment, and then thought about the comfortable and spacious ox cart in the clan, and felt that most people would choose the latter. But he thought, she was probably... not an ordinary person.

As expected...

"Not at all~" Uchiha put his hands behind his back, and continued to swing his feet wearing wooden clogs. His little head also swayed from side to side, and he said leisurely, "I have seen the appearance of an ox cart in the car.

Compared to that one, I think I like the current one better. The sunshine, white clouds, green grass and the surrounding scenery can be clearly seen, Saigao~"

The man thought to himself: If it rains suddenly at this time, maybe you should cry, little girl.

But then again, why would he take her out on a rainy day?

So he just nodded softly and replied: "It's indeed good."

The middle-aged man driving the car listened to these innocent words with a smile on his face. Although to him this was completely "the preference of noble people", but... it did sound very cute, didn't it? So he waved gently.

The car whip makes the car drive more smoothly. Anyway, this trip is profitable~ If the two guests are willing, he can even take them around for another hour or two.

"Brother Ban, do you want some candy?"

"Huh?" Madara Uchiha asked as he watched his younger sister-in-law take out a familiar little cloth bag from her sleeve, open it and pour out two red candy balls, then raise her hand and bring it to his eyes.

, "Have you not finished eating yet?"

"No~"

"There's no need to save like this. I'll buy it for you after you finish eating."

"Having said that, if I eat more than two candy balls a day, I always feel like an Uchiha was killed because of it." She pondered.

Uchiha Madara: "..." What kind of strange logic is this...

However, past experience told him not to delve deeply into some people's minds, because there is undoubtedly a big black hole hidden inside.

Thinking like this, he picked up a candy ball from his younger sister-in-law's palm, stuffed it into his mouth, and inexplicably...

"Ah, I seem to have killed half of my tribe" strange thoughts.

Uchiha Madara: "..."

In every sense of the word, she may be a "terrible" woman.

"Brother Madara, Brother Madara~"

"What?"

Having said that, whenever the other party called me, he responded immediately and patiently.

"Are there any famous and delicious snacks in the town over there?"

Uchiha Madara: "..." He thought, very good, this touches on my blind spot of knowledge. In fact, how normal it is, he has stopped caring about this for many years. But some people...when they meet occasionally, they will talk to each other with great interest

Drag him to buy some "supposedly famous foods". Some of them taste really good, while others are so famous that it's hard to live up to them.

It is a waste of time to spend time on such things, but the guy enjoys it. In other words, he regards it as part of the fun of life.

"Brother Ban, don't you know?" He tilted his head.

"...Well, let's wait until we get to town and ask."

"Alright~"

At this moment...

The middle-aged man in front spoke boldly: "Two adults, if you want to go to the town ahead, there is a famous eel restaurant in the town. It is on the main street of the town. There are no words on the sign but pictures.

There is an eel hanging on it, and the curtain outside the door is blue, white and red."

"That's it~" Uchiha turned around and smiled, "Uncle, thank you."

Seeing her kindness, the middle-aged man put down his anxiety and continued with a smile: "The eel sauce in this restaurant is very sweet, so it is very popular among ninjas. In addition, there is a restaurant named Harunori

The shaved ice shop is also doing well. I heard that they also have shops in other places. Having a bowl in the summer is really..." Although they don't have any spare money to eat this, they know that something that everyone likes should not be

Unpalatable.

"Is there still ice in this season?" Uchiha asked curiously. This is not uncommon within the ninja clan, but outside...

"Yes, this store has them." The middle-aged man replied with a smile, "The boss said he knows ninjas, so..."

"so……"

Uchiha Madara knows this, because the ninjas behind this ice cream shop chain are the Uchiha clan. They pay Uchiha a "tribute" every year, and Uchiha allows them to open stores within the radius of their influence.

, ensuring the safety of their business and helping to maintain ice storage conditions. Moreover, when needed, they also help Uchiha do some things that are not common to outsiders.

However, this aspect was basically managed by Izumi. He only listened to it once and was not aware of the specific details.

Of course, one thing he knew was that there were discounts for Uchiha ninjas.

"Brother Ban!" Xingxingyan said.

"Let's go eat then."

"Okay~"

The vehicle was driving slowly and steadily...

After a while, the town was faintly visible.

Madara Uchiha considered that there might be some clan ninjas in the town who had just gone out, and he didn't want them to see his current appearance, so he jumped out of the car and naturally extended his hands to the girl in the car.

The latter smiled "hehe" and "went off the beaten track" again——

She grabbed his hand, jumped off her body, and landed smoothly.

"Uncle." She smiled and waved to the driver, "Thank you for letting us ride. See you next time~"
