Outside the cave.

There was lightning and thunder, and there was heavy rain.

Inside the cave.

Instead, a bonfire was lit.

The firelight shines, bringing endless light and dispelling the darkness outside the cave and the chill caused by the heavy rain at night in summer.

"Haikawa-kun, why is there wood here..." Uchiha asked curiously as he sat by the campfire, feeling the moisture evaporating from his hair and clothes.

"Because this is a temporary resting place commonly used by passers-by." Qianju Tobirama explained patiently, "After a thoughtful person uses it, he usually replenishes the things he used before leaving, and leaves some things that can help the next person.

A guest’s belongings.”

"I see."

"Of course, there's no need to keep anything too valuable." Senju Tobirama continued, "They might be taken away by greedy passers-by and won't help too many people. Dry wood, hay for fire, flint and the like.

, Normally no one would take it.”

"Hmm." Uchiha nodded repeatedly. She looked at the young man sitting opposite through the bonfire and asked curiously, "Haikawa-kun, why are you here?"

"I was on my way home when there was a heavy rain and I came here to take shelter." After Senju Tobirama answered, he asked, "What about you?" His answer was the truth, so he thought the other party should reciprocate the favor and tell him some truth.

.

After Uchiha hesitated for a moment, he sighed and replied in a low voice: "I am... right now... I should be considered running away from home?" At least in the eyes of Madara and Izuna, that should be the case... Alas, but she really is not.

intentional.tat

Senju Tobirama: "..." Did he sneak out last time and run away from home this time? He really wanted to say "As expected of you", but when the words came to his lips, it still turned into, "You are like this,

The family will be worried."

"...I know, so I originally wanted to go back, but..."

"result?"

"Because I rarely go out and it's dark, I accidentally got lost..." tat

Senju Tobirama: "..." He was very speechless, but he couldn't hold it back, so he clasped his fists and laughed. Then, he raised his eyes and looked at the girl opposite who wrote "Why are you like this! I'm like this too"

How can you laugh at me when I'm so miserable!" With his eyes written on the words, he coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry."

"...It's okay." Uchiha lowered his head, and the shadow cast on the cave floor looked like a cat with droopy ears. She murmured in a low voice, "Anyway, it's my own fault..."

Senju Tobirama looked at the depressed look of the person in front of him, thought for a while, and said, "Then, do you need me to take you back?"

"Why?"

"In the vast sea of ​​people, being able to meet each other twice in a row without knowing each other's real names is considered fate." Qianju Tobirama said with a smile, "So what if we help others?" After experiencing this period of time, he has already

I don't really believe that I can find her door, so...well, I'd better go directly to her house and find the way.

Uchiha Ochi subconsciously said: "I live..." Halfway through her words, she paused and tilted her head to ask, "Haikawa-kun, you...are a ninja, right?"

"Well, I am, what's wrong?"

"Then I can't say."

"..."

"Actually," Uchiha scratched his cheek and said with some embarrassment, "I am also from a ninja family. You also know... well, many ninjas have grudges among themselves. What if... our two families happen to have something to do with each other?

Where is the revenge?" Then instead of sending her home, I sent her to the west... I just came here to take shelter from the rain. It would be too unfair...

Senju Tobirama: "..." As long as you are not an Uchiha, it doesn't matter which family you belong to, right? Even if you are an ally of the Uchiha, there are some corners that you can't dig into.

However, it is very frustrating that he is obviously a completely careless person, but he suddenly becomes cautious in a place like this. Of course, this confirms one thing——

She is indeed a girl from a certain ninja clan.

but……

"When we last met, there was no chakra fluctuation in your body."

"Well, because after my unremitting efforts, I finally succeeded in refining chakra!" Uchiha replied with a smile, "It's awesome~"

Senju Tobirama: "..." Is it... powerful...? She looks like she is thirteen or fourteen years old, and she has only extracted chakra at this age. Hmm... He looked at the words "Praise me, praise me" all over his body.

I complimented me~" The little girl from Guangbo complained quietly in her heart, but she still maintained a smile on her face and replied, "Well, it's pretty awesome." Then he decisively ended the topic and asked instead, "What are you going to do?

What should we do? The night is already so dark and you are still lost..."

"Wait until the rain stops..." Ochiha thought for a while and replied, "Go to a nearby town to buy a map or ask for directions."

Senju Tobirama had to admit that this was an idea, so he said: "Then I will accompany you." He paused and added, "After all, the night in the wilderness is not very safe, even in a town.

, you are a girl walking alone...it is better to have someone by your side. And even if you know the road, it would be better to wait until dawn tomorrow before setting off." At this point, he smiled and said, "Of course, you buy a map.

I will avoid you when you ask for directions, how about that?”

"..."

"Um?"

After Uchiha hesitated for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Would it be too troublesome for you..." In fact, she thought she could do it alone? But the other party was really enthusiastic, and he seemed to be a good person who was always willing to help others.

Human. So, she was a little embarrassed to refuse.

"Of course not." Senju Tobirama replied decisively, "This is what it should be."

"Haichuan-kun..."

"Um?"

"You are such a good person..."

"..." Is this the legendary "good guy card"?

At this moment...

"Gu——"

Uchiha's belly suddenly made such a sound, she quickly hugged her belly with both hands, curled up suddenly, her face turned slightly red.

Yes, she is hungry...

After all, she ran out without eating dinner and consumed a lot of energy along the way, so...

Senju Tobirama: "..." He wanted to laugh, but he held it back and rummaged through the bag behind him. In the end, he only found a few pieces of dried meat. It's not that he didn't carry food with him.

It's just that he brought Bingliang Pills. He felt a little wronged by giving this to the girl in front of him. After thinking about it, he raised his hand and handed the dried meat over, "If you don't mind..."

"Ah, thank you!" Uchiha stood up, stretched out his hands to take the dried meat, held it in his hand and lowered his head to smell it, "Is it beef?"

"Yeah." Senju Tobirama nodded and added, "Bake it and eat it, it will taste better." Although the thing looks simple, the material itself is high-quality beef, so it won't taste bad.

"Hmm~" Uchiha took a piece of dried meat and grilled it over the fire, but she was really hungry, so she quickly stuffed it into her mouth and ate it "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Uchiha.

Senju Tobirama: "..." Maybe it was because the food of the girl in front of him was so delicious, so he actually felt a little hungry.

"Haichuan-kun, don't you want to eat?"

"...I don't have to."

"You won't give it all to me, will you?"

"..."

"How can this be done!" Uchiha Ochi said as he stood up very naturally, walked to sit next to the young man, smiled and handed half of the dried meat in his hand to the other person, "Here, Haichuan-kun."

"You can just eat it."

"Let's eat together." The girl smiled and stuffed the dried meat back into the young man's hand, and said jokingly while chewing the rest in her hand, "Aren't you going to be kind enough to escort me to a nearby town? Don't you feel full?

But there is no way to do this escort mission well."

"So," Qianju Tobirama smiled, raised the dried meat in his hand and asked, "is this considered reward?"

"...I'll take your things and give them back to you as a reward?"

"Well, does this mean you have a good business acumen?"

"……Thank you for the compliment."

"You're welcome."

The two of them finished eating a few pieces of dried meat while chatting casually.

Senju Tobirama suddenly remembered something——

"Speaking of which..."

"Um?"

"This is the second time we've met, and you still can't tell me your name?"

"..." After Uchiha hesitated for a moment, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry..." The main reason is... her name is probably quite famous, no matter who it is. She doesn't think the person in front of her is a bad person, but...

The so-called ninja must often obey the interests of the family.

If Mr. Uchikawa is really from a rival clan, then what should he do when the wife of the Uchiha clan is here, right in front of him?
