Senshou Tobirama admits that he has never been a harsh person, so since he is hungry, let’s eat. And to be honest, her appetite is large, and his is not small either. Even a few pieces of dried meat and a rabbit cannot satisfy him at all.

his appetite.

"Let me treat you to something to eat."

"W-how is this so embarrassing..." Uchiha said with some embarrassment. As she said this, she started groping around her body again, hoping to find some money or previous items, but... there was really nothing. Her daily routine

I rarely wear jewelry. Once the money I carry with me is used up, I will immediately "run out of ammunition and food".

"Don't be so polite, it won't cost much." Senju Tobirama said consolingly, "Since you come from a ninja family, you should know that for a ninja's income, eating is only a small thing, and professional expenses such as ninja scrolls are the biggest contributor.

.”

"But..." Uchiha said in a low voice, "Just because of this, I can't let you, Haichuan-kun, keep asking me all kinds of things as a matter of course... You are obviously helping me, and not only did I fail to pay you, but also..."

Senju Tobirama: "..." He came to the conclusion again that this is a gentle girl who tries her best to give people fairness. Although this idea may be a bit naive, where does fairness come from in this world? However, it is already very rare.

. He thought for a while and replied, "Otherwise, you owe it first?"

"ah?"

"Give it back to me next time we meet."

"...Will there be another meeting?"

Qianju Tobirama: "..." He looked at the person silently, his meaning was a bit obvious - what? Do you still want to default on the bill? Isn't this a bit unkind?

"No, that's not what I meant..." Uchiha waved her hands quickly, and she looked around again. Because she didn't want others to hear her words, she moved closer to the person in front of her again and lowered her voice and said, "I mean ours."

Position... Even if you are not from the Alliance family of the Senju clan, but you can bring me here openly, your family is at least neutral, right?"

Qianju Tobijian thought for a while and replied in the same low voice: "It's okay. After all, no one knows you. We can meet quietly in the future avoiding people."

Uchiha: "..." Is it an illusion? I always thought this was a little strange... However, considering that she did owe the other party a lot, she thought about it, nodded and promised, "Haikawa-kun, next time we meet,

I will repay you well with interest."

"...You sound a bit like you are seeking revenge."

"...Huh? Is there any?"

"have."

"..."tat

Senshou Tobirama was amused by the girl's tearful expression. He cupped his fists and coughed lightly, comforting and said: "It's okay, I didn't misunderstand." Then he was waiting for her to repay him well, "Let's go, let's go eat

Order something."

"……Um."

"What do you want to eat?"

"That!" Because she had agreed to pay back the money, Uchiha's confidence instantly strengthened. She raised her finger and pointed to the ramen stall on the roadside, recalling the taste of what she had eaten before, and said with some greed,

"Haikawa-kun, I want to eat that!"

Senju Tobirama: "..." Ramen...? He doesn't like this kind of street food very much, and he doesn't like to eat in an overly noisy environment. Moreover, according to custom, you need to make noise when eating ramen.

Yes, this is to show his appreciation to the ramen boss. But he feels that making too much noise while eating is a bit... Moreover, most of the ramen soup base is really a bit salty. Let alone the daytime, it is really not suitable for evening.

Eat, so he tried to persuade, "There is no need to save money like this, you can also choose other things."

"No, it's not because it's cheap," Ochiha replied with a smile, "It's because I like ramen~" and she was a little curious about the taste difference between the ramen here and the ramen in the towns near Uchiha.

Senju Tobirama: "..." He found... that he and her didn't seem to get along in many ways. For example, he liked the rain but she didn't like it. She liked eating sweets but he didn't like it. And now, in terms of dietary orientation,

, also showed a big difference. But...

"Can't...?" The girl lowered her head in despair, pulling at the hem of her clothes with both hands.

"...Of course, the ramen is very good, just eat this."

"Hmm! Ah, there happen to be two empty seats, Haichuan-kun, let's hurry up!" Because he was worried that the seat would be occupied by others, the Uchiha belt quickly reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the young man in front of him, pulling him and running towards the ramen stall.

Qianju Tojian: "..."

He thought with complicated emotions: I have never rushed to a ramen shop so eagerly in my life... But...

He turned his head and looked at the happy expression on the girl's face, and suddenly thought, this is okay...at least, the ramen is not sweet, right?

"Welcome! What do you two want?"

“I want tonkotsu ramen!”

"I want this too."

"Okay, two bowls of tonkotsu ramen."

Senju Tobirama noticed that the girl next to him had a troubled expression on her face. She looked at him carefully every now and then. For some reason, he understood her thoughts instantly, so he said: "Boss, please give me extra."

One...no, two portions of barbecued pork." As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the bright smile on her face and thought to himself——

Well, it seems that they still have a tacit understanding on some things.

Because the street was too noisy and the business of the ramen shop was so good, Senju Tobirama ate the noodles without making any noise and no one noticed. He actually felt a subtle feeling of relief in his heart. However, he must admit that the business was still so good after ordering.

It was good for a reason, it tasted really good. In addition, the person next to him ate it really delicious, so he unconsciously followed suit and ate a second bowl.

But then again...

He looked at the six or seven bowls piled up in the little girl's hand, and felt from the bottom of his heart that her appearance and appetite really didn't match, and what should I say...

He silently looked at her belly that didn't look bulging after eating so much, and felt it was a bit unreasonable. Can her stomach really hold so much? If it can't, where did the food go? I can't say.

There must be ramen flowing everywhere in her body... No, that's a complete horror story.

After a while...

"Gudonggudonggudong——" Uchiha raised his head and drank all the soup in the noodle bowl in his hand. Then, he put the noodle bowl on the table with both hands, with a satisfied expression on his face.

The silver-haired young man on the side who had already finished eating and had been waiting patiently held his head with one hand and asked with a smile: "Are you full?"

"Yeah!" Uchiha nodded with a smile, without any shame on her face, because she didn't think it was a shame to be able to eat. She had to eat when she was hungry, and of course she had to eat until she was full if conditions allowed.

It is the greatest respect for the stomach and food.

Senju Tobirama also felt that there was nothing wrong with having a good appetite. It was always more comfortable to watch her eat than to watch the so-called bird's stomach eat. While he took out the money to pay the bill, he stood up and said: "Let's go to the bookstore.

.”

"good!"

Just when Uchiha brought his child into the bookstore...

After searching around the clan again but still finding the same thing, Uchiha Izuna walked back to his courtyard, knelt down on the corridor outside the house, and silently watched the scene in the courtyard.

in the past……

When she was at home, every time she came back from handling family affairs, she would often sit here on her knees, doing various things while waiting for him.

When asked why she was not sitting in the room, she replied -

"Well... I always feel that if you can see me as soon as possible when you come back, Quan Na, you will be in a better mood."

Her intuition is really a bit scary, but...he really likes the fact that he can see her for the first time after coming back.

She would usually raise her head to look at him very keenly, and then a cute and bright smile would naturally bloom on her cheeks.

At that moment, all the fatigue seemed to be lifted from his body.

…

I see.

Is sitting here waiting for someone what he feels now?

No, it's still different.

She knew he would definitely come back.

And he...

"Izuna," Uchiha Madara walked to his younger brother and knelt down as well, "Don't worry, Hitomi will definitely come back."

"That's why I'm worried." Uchiha Izuna replied softly, "Since she will definitely come back, why isn't she here now?" At this moment, he would rather she was a willful woman who made up her mind not to come back.

Wait for him to find a safe place where the cat is venting its anger.

Because in the wilderness with heavy rain, anything can happen.

What if the weather delayed the trip? What if... we accidentally lost our way or encountered someone with ulterior motives?

Yes, she has some skills, but after all, she has never been in actual combat, and her heart is too soft. A ninja who has been on the battlefield for a long time is the best at taking advantage of this kind of loophole.

He wanted to tell himself that "nothing would happen", but he couldn't help but have one bad guess after another in his mind. In the end, his whole heart was in chaos. He repeatedly told himself that he couldn't do this.

He, the leader, cannot stay calm and rational, and everything will get worse.

However……

Emotions are often beyond the control of reason and may even come against you.

"..." Uchiha Madara was silent for a moment, because what his brother said was the worst guess in his mind. But at this moment, he could not accept this statement in any way, not only because he resisted in his heart
