("Oiko Uchiha doesn't want to be Neptune");

Ten days later.

Uchiha Madara takes the girl through the forest.

The latter actually asked him: "Madara-sama, where are we going?"

He didn't answer.

Because he doesn't know either.

When he was young, he and Hashirama had the same dream - to build a village that belonged to themselves, them, and everyone, and then protect the most important things. After that, the village was established, but the most important things about him were

It has long since disappeared without a trace.

Is a village with nothing to protect still the village of his dreams?

he does not know.

But he did work hard and struggled with Hashirama. But in the end, he gradually realized that the village they built together might be in line with Hashirama's dream, but it was not in line with his. And the whole Ninja

The world seems to have achieved so-called stability, but in fact, there are undercurrents and it is never stable.

The peace now is by no means the peace they once dreamed of.

Doesn't Hashirama know this?

not necessarily.

However, Hashirama was still too soft-hearted and was caught up in too many insignificant things. He would only keep saying, "Madara, it will be fine, everything will develop according to our wishes." However, what he saw was the village.

Under the seemingly bright exterior, shadows gradually emerge. One day, everything will go in the opposite direction.

When building the village, Hashirama once said excitedly, "Madara, you will be the first Hokage in our village." Although the final result was completely contrary to his words, he believed that Hashirama's intentions at that time were sincere.

When leaving, Hashirama also said, "Madara, you will be the second Hokage of the village." He also believed that Hashirama was sincere at this time, but the result would definitely be completely contrary to his words - he would become

The second generation Hokage will not be killed by anyone else but Senju Tobirama.

Hashirama, since the choice is wrapped up in the so-called public opinion, then as long as you admit defeat once, you can only admit defeat countless times.

Hashirama's idea is correct, the strong should protect the weak.

However, the strong should not be bound by the weak. Rather, the latter should obey the former unconditionally, because only the former can lead the latter in the right direction.

After arguing for several times, he felt something in his heart - although he and Hashirama had walked on the same path, they could no longer go on. In addition, he also found another, better, path.

Possible path…

Therefore, he chose to say goodbye to his former friends and left Konoha.

Senju Tobirama will definitely try to judge him as a "rebellious nin", and Hashirama will definitely try to stop him. The two of them will definitely have countless conflicts over this, but these have nothing to do with him.

The only thing he wants to do now is to travel throughout the entire ninja world for a long time, see with his own eyes, hear with his own ears, and use everything he has to feel for himself what this ninja world is.

Has it really become peaceful, or has it become worse?

In this process, the future direction is determined bit by bit.

In other words, at this stage, he is a traveler and has no "destination".

However, it seemed that she was just asking an ordinary question and was not necessarily looking for the correct answer. In other words, as long as she could follow him, she seemed to be satisfied.

For example, at this moment——

Uchiha Madara sat on a big rock by the river, looking sideways at the girl not far away.

She had changed into the pink kimono (he originally asked her to throw away the two sets of clothes because they were no longer needed, but she refused and still sealed them in a scroll and carried them with her)

, put on clothes similar to his - a dark blue robe with black clothes for easy movement. It has to be said that in this way, her back looks more like him when he was a child, but there is no Yu Zhi behind the clothes.

It's just the emblem of the Bo clan.

At this moment, she took off her shoes, rolled up her pants to her knees, and was bending her body slightly to catch fish in the river. Among the small piles of stones by the river, there were already several captured prey jumping alive.

As he looked at it, he remembered a similar experience he had with Hashirama when he was young - they competed to catch fish, and then grilled the fish together. Hashirama's skill at grilling fish was poor at first, and he often burned the fish, and then had a look on his face.

He grabbed it tangledly in his hand and looked at the fish he had grilled eagerly. At first, he wanted to watch the other party eat it, but as soon as Hashirama said, "Madara is so awesome...", he would subconsciously divide the fish he had grilled.

Half of the other party's meal was served, and then, as Hashirama praised "Madara's grilled fish is so delicious~", he happily ate the fish while continuing to grill the fish for two people.

That guy has been extremely cunning since he was a child.

In the blink of an eye, almost twenty years have passed...

The corner of Uchiha Madara's mouth slightly curled up as he thought about his childhood. Perhaps it was because the weather was good today - the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and the stream was clear and the water was gurgling, which made him in a rare good mood. So he jumped down

He picked up the rocks and took the initiative to help light the fire.

In the process, five or six more fish were thrown to the shore.

He looked at the number and saw that there were twelve or three, so he said, "That's enough, let's take care of the internal organs."

"Ouch!" She then jumped to the shore in a few steps without wearing any shoes. She just squatted by the river and took out a kunai from the ninja bag behind her and started to handle the fish - this was also his

For her, ninjas always need weapons. He doesn't know what she is good at using, and she can't remember it herself, so let's use the most basic ones first.

Her movements were quick and skillful, and she quickly finished handling a dozen fishes. Then, she washed the kunai with stream water and wiped it clean with the handkerchief she carried with her very lovingly, and then put it away.

After that, she used the wooden poles she had prepared in advance to thread the fish, put on her shoes, jumped back, and inserted the wooden poles vertically by the fire one by one, keeping a proper distance between each one.

The earthen jar directly above the fire is half filled with water.

Uchiha Madara looked at the girl sitting by the fire staring at the fish without blinking. He felt that she was just like a cat waiting for dinner, and said: "Go and pick some mushrooms." She was very good at finding them.

This seems to be found everywhere. After a pause, he added, "I've taught you what you can and can't eat. If you dare to pick brightly colored but poisonous ones, don't eat them today."

."

"...Oh." The girl puffed up her face, but she still jumped into the forest not far away.

Uchiha Madara looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.

Perhaps what deserves more praise than her physical fitness is her stomach - it looks like a highly poisonous mushroom at first glance, and it was perfectly fine to eat it raw before. In this regard, it is completely comparable to Hashirama. However, Hashirama is a wooden

The human body of the Taoist Immortal has natural resistance to plant toxins. Why is her immunity to toxins so strong? What kind of past does she have? This girl is simply a walking person.

Mystery.

Not long after, the girl ran back with a small pile of edible mushrooms carried by the hem of her robe, with a few bird eggs mixed in. Uchiha Madara looked carefully and confirmed that they were bird eggs. He asked her to find some a few days ago.

The eggs came back. As a result, she found some eggs, and they turned out to be... snake eggs. He didn't pay much attention at the time, and just asked her to beat the egg liquid into the pot, and the result...

There were little snakes in the soup they were about to cook.

Although he didn't mind eating snakes, the bowl of soup still turned his appetite away. In the end, his meal was waived, voluntarily; and hers was forced, too.

Moreover, she seemed to hate snakes. Even though it was her own masterpiece, she kept retching on the pot of soup and even refused to clean it up. In the end, he had to do it himself.

But since then, she has never made the same mistake again. In other words, she understands quickly and makes mistakes only once. As long as you tell her definitely what not to do, she will not do it again.

Yes. Overall, it is a very obedient tool.

The girl took the mushrooms to the stream to wash them.

Uchiha Madara stretched out his hand and slightly adjusted the direction of the fish poles to prevent one side from being burnt and the other side from being uncooked. Then, he took out some dried meat from the dry food he carried with him, broke it into small pieces and threw it away.

The boiling water. Not long after, she also ran back, broke the big mushrooms into small pieces and threw them in, and the small mushrooms were thrown directly in. Then, she carefully took out their bowls and chopsticks and put them aside.

Sit aside and wait for the rice to be cooked without blinking.

Some time passed...

The water in the jar boiled again. She beat the egg liquid into it and stirred it slightly with a spoon.

Uchiha Madara picked up the small jar on the side and poured some salt into it.

She filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Uchiha Madara with both hands: "Madara-sama, you can drink it, be careful because it will be hot!"

He took it silently, but did not drink it immediately. Instead, he slightly adjusted the direction of the fish and sprinkled some salt and other seasonings on it.

"The fish is ready to eat."

"Hmm." The girl happily pulled out a wooden pole with a fish stuck in it and blew it, "Madara-sama, don't you want to eat it?"

"Wait a minute."

"Oh." The girl took a bite of the fish on her right hand, her eyes suddenly lit up, "It's delicious!" She lowered her head and took a sip of the soup on her left hand, "The soup is also very fresh~"

Uchiha Madara took out some rice balls and placed them on the stone aside. Ninjas have a larger appetite than ordinary people. Especially, this girl seems to be a "big eater" and is like a small animal that doesn't know how to be hungry.

She could eat as much as she was given, and fortunately, there didn't seem to be any problems.

The girl suddenly showed a troubled expression.

"how?"

"It's so annoying. I only have two hands, but there are three things to eat in front of me!"

Uchiha Madara: "..." This is the first time I have heard of such a stupid worry.

So he ignored her and just continued eating his food.

However, he didn't reprimand her, he just allowed her to mess around with "no rules" in front of him.
To be continued...
