198, Ban: ran away from the village but found a little black cat 8
("Oiko Uchiha doesn't want to be Neptune");
Madara Uchiha raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, you were jumping around there for a long time just to do this?"
"Yeah!" The girl happily took the garland and put it on the person in front of her again, "Madara-sama, it looks great, and it will look even better when you wear this~"
Uchiha Madara: "..." He shook his head, and while taking off the wreath on his head again, he corrected, "Men cannot be described as 'good-looking'."
"But Madara-sama is so good-looking!" the girl said seriously, "So far, I have never seen a better-looking man than Madara-sama."
Uchiha Madara chuckled, raised his hand and put the garland on the little girl's head: "Even if you say so, I don't have any red bean cake on me."
"...I'm not just talking about the red bean cake~" the little girl muttered with a slightly swollen face.
Uchiha Madara looked at the garland and could see that it was indeed carefully woven, and the flowers on it were carefully selected in terms of size, color and state.
It's a beautiful wreath, but...
He raised his hand and touched the girl's head: "The garland is more suitable for girls to wear."
"...Oh." The girl with disheveled black hair raised her hand and touched the top of her head, then showed a happy smile. Then, she moved her body slightly and lay on the grass, "consciously"
He rested his head on Uchiha Madara's lap, looked up at him and asked, "Madara-sama, what is the purpose of your trip?"
Uchiha Madara was slightly startled, and then asked with interest: "Why do you ask that?" Instead of asking "destination" but "purpose"? Interesting.
"Because, I always feel that Madara-sama is not just walking around aimlessly." The girl tilted her head and thought, and said, "It should be true that Madara-sama said there is no destination, but, I always feel that you
Every time I come to one, I will observe it carefully, as if I am confirming something. Madara-sama, what exactly are you confirming..."
Madara Uchiha thought slightly: Yes, the girl who lost her memory is like a blank piece of paper. However, she stubbornly refused to let others call or draw at will, and instead carved small paw prints on it bit by bit.
And this period of getting along with him also convinced him that this girl of unknown origin has a wonderful moral outlook. This moral outlook is reflected in all aspects of her daily life, such as her excessive kindness in his opinion
Excessive innocence (fortunately, her strength protects her kindness and innocence), and that strange sense of respect——
Even if they were ordinary civilians, she still maintained a level of respect for them that he considered unnecessary.
In her eyes, everything seems fair.
Then, the world she sees in her eyes must be the most fair and just.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously asked: "Kid, what do you think of this world?"
The girl showed a confused expression: "Sorry, Madara-sama, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"It's pretty good, or it's terrible." Uchiha Madara replied, "In your opinion."
After the girl pondered for a moment, she replied: "I'm sorry, Madara-sama, I can't answer this question."
"reason?"
"Because I have not seen the whole world." The girl replied with a serious look, "Although it is said that 'you can see the whole world by looking at a spot', but since I lost my memory, although I have followed you to many places, Madara-sama, but
, compared to the entire world, it should not be worth mentioning. Moreover, most of the places we passed were mountains and forests. Just like this moment, the scenery is beautiful, but if we just rely on this to say
'This world is a beautiful place', I think even a three-year-old child would laugh at this innocence, right?"
Uchiha Madara stretched out his finger and flicked the girl's forehead, and replied casually: "How much better do you think you are than a three-year-old child?" Children of the ninja family can never just look at age and appearance. Five or six years old should be considered.
If she went to the battlefield, she would have been taught and trained at least when she was three years old. Therefore, maybe she is not as naive as she is.
"I-I'm taller than them!"
Uchiha Madara: "..." Why didn't she say that she could eat better than them? What a shameless brat.
However, I have to admit that what she said makes sense. If you have seen the whole world, how can you be qualified to draw conclusions about the entire world? In this case——
"Next, come and see this world with me." Uchiha Madara said, "The first destination is the current River Country. When we leave after seeing everything, you can tell me
——I think this country is not bad, but it is hopelessly bad."
The girl blinked, seeming a little confused, but still nodded obediently: "Okay, Madara-sama."
Uchiha Madara patted her cheek gently with satisfaction, and pinched her small, white ears - this was his habitual action when he was a cat. He originally planned to spend some time looking around the world.
Look, let's check whether his and Hashirama's actions really brought peace to the world, or pushed the world into a worse situation. Now it's just an extra talking pet, it's harmless
.
"Let's go."
"Ah, wait a minute!"
"Um?"
Uchiha Madara looked at the girl who seemed to have something wrong in confusion, but saw that she took off the wreath on her head and put it on his lap, and then rolled down the hillside full of flowers with a happy face.
The breeze blows.
The grass is turbulent.
Petals are flying.
The little girl looked like a fish playing in the sea of flowers.
She just rolled all the way to the bottom of the hillside, then jumped to her feet, raised her hands and shouted: "Satisfied~" Then, she tilted her head and smiled brightly at him in the sea of flowers, "Bann.
Sir, do you want to come here once?"
Uchiha Madara turned around and left.
If he was not in his thirties but in his teens, he might try it once.
But now that he is a mature enough man, let's forget about such childish behavior.
"Madara-sama, wait for me!!!"
The girl quickly chased after him.
Madara Uchiha casually threw the garland in his hand over her head. She was stunned for a moment, then covered her head with her hands and laughed stupidly.
Later, before leaving the mountains and fields, she carefully sealed the wreath into a scroll containing daily sundries.
"Even so, it will wither." Uchiha Madara reminded.
Scrolls can only save events, but they cannot stop time.
"It doesn't matter even if it withers." The girl replied with a smile, "Today's memory will not fade."
"..."
"Madara-sama, Madara-sama! I have a good idea about the next transformation!"
"Tell me and listen."
"What about the wandering musician brother and his singer-song sister?"
"..."
"Ah, of course, the so-called performer can just find a snare drum to play~" The girl winked at him, "If you don't know how to play an instrument."
Uchiha Madara sneered: "Instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry about whether your singing will scare away other people."
"How, how could it be!" the girl defended, "I sing very well! Back then, my wish was to become a big star! ... Hey? What is a star?" She tilted her head and thought for a long time, but in the end
I couldn't think of anything, so I could only give up and ask, "Madara-sama, what musical instruments do you play?"
After Uchiha Madara was silent for a moment, he replied: "Shamisen."
This is considered a traditional musical instrument.
However, the person who is interested in this is actually not him, but Quan Na.
His younger brother Uchiha Izuna has a wide range of hobbies, from poetry, tea ceremony, painting, folk customs to various musical instruments... Every day, he seems to be tirelessly exploring and learning new things. Compared to him, Izuna may be
He is the one who truly loves life.
Izuna first learned shamisen, and then quickly became obsessed with shakuhachi. She pestered him and said, "Brother, I want to play with you." He was indeed not interested at first, but he couldn't bear Izuna's plea.
I learned some shamisen from him. It was never difficult for Uchiha who had the Sharingan to just learn the technique.
However, Quan Nai's rise went away as quickly as it came, and in a blink of an eye, she was obsessed with other new things.
Therefore, he has not touched shamisen for a long time.
"Huh???" the girl showed a surprised expression.
"how?"
"...No, I just think the combination of shamisen and Madara-sama is a bit strange."
"The combination of you and the song is also very strange."
"...Hiss, Madara-sama, are you a bit revengeful?"
"Oh."
When they walked out of the forest, the two used the transformation technique again, and at the same time transformed into the most common appearance of ordinary people in this era. Any items that might reveal their identity were properly sealed and put away.
Uchiha Madara, who transformed into a short-haired young man, was wearing a black kimono that was not old yet. The hem was slightly uneven, which directly revealed his poor financial situation. Among the baggage he was carrying on his back.
, containing a handful of shamisen.
The girl who transformed into a high ponytail girl was wearing a pink kimono that was also old and new, with some daily items hanging on her back, and holding a small floral cloth baggage in her hand.
"Madara-sama."
"What?"
"You actually brought the shamisen with you..."
"..."
In fact, not only the shamisen, but also all the relics left behind by Izuna after his death. Except for some of them that were buried with him, he had sealed the other parts and carried them with him all the time.
In the blink of an eye, it has been ten or twenty years since Izuna gave him this shamisen. Although it is fine to play, it has already become a bit worn by the erosion of time due to basic use and neglect of maintenance.
, which is quite consistent with his current status.
The two of them were walking side by side on the dirt ground connecting various towns in the River Kingdom. It was okay to say that it was sunny now, but once it rained, the ground would become extremely muddy and difficult to walk on.
"Kid."
"ah?"
"Sing a song and listen."
"……Why?"
"Aren't you going to be a 'singing girl'?" Uchiha Madara chuckled, "You must have some real ability."
"Here, what's so difficult about this!" The girl imitated his imitation and laughed - not to mention, it was really similar. Then, she sang a song called "Sakura Song" that she had heard others sing some time ago.
This is a traditional folk song with a very long history. Even Uchiha Madara doesn’t know who made it. He heard this song when he was a child. It is a song that describes the beautiful scenery of spring.
Even he had to admit that she sang pretty well——
The girl's voice is sweet and soft, just like the falling cherry blossoms in spring.
As Madara Uchiha listened, he unknowingly remembered the beautiful scenery like a sea of clouds and clouds when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. When the cherry blossoms were in full bloom this year, Hashirama had invited him to go see them together, but he did not go.
"The cherry blossoms have faded..." he murmured.
"It's okay, Madara-sama." The girl who finished singing smiled brightly at him, "It will be played again next year. Then, let's watch it together~"
