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

Perhaps because they were walking on the main road of the River Country, their "companions" unknowingly increased, or in other words, they were traveling companions from other roads.

A dancing girl with legitimate youth.

There are storytellers who are already elderly.

There is a small circus composed of young people.

There are also several middle-aged wandering warriors with vicissitudes of appearance.

…

Unknowingly, everyone came together and moved forward together. Although everyone had little communication during the journey, they could indeed be said to be traveling companions together.

Uchiha Madara's character is a "taciturn young man". This character is strongly requested by the girl. The reason is "Madara-sama, you talk very irritatingly. For the sake of the peace of our journey, please shut up!", and the name is also the same.

The girl helped him pick it up. She happened to see a tree at that time, so she called him "Naoki". She also repeatedly said that this name must only be used by handsome men. If he is not good-looking, he can't suppress it. Then she said something nonsense like

Such nonsense as "this name just sounds like a steely straight man" is completely unintelligible.

She named herself "Xingzi" because she just wanted to eat apricots and she didn't know the logic.

There is no need to think about the surname, because civilians who need to wander are not worthy of having a surname. It would be nice to have a name that is reasonably listenable.

Until night, they did not reach a town where they could stay, so the group stayed overnight in the wild.

Everyone was experienced in this matter, so after finding a pretty good place in the forest on the roadside, a group of people got ready. Occasionally they even helped each other along the way, and the atmosphere was pretty good.

"Mada... cough, brother." The girl took out two small bamboo tubes and the small jars they used for daily cooking from her back, "I'm going to fetch water and pick up some firewood and other things. You are responsible for looking after things."

Uchiha Madara was slightly startled by the word "brother", but he quickly came to his senses, said a noncommittal "hmm", sat down under the tree, and waited for her to do these trivial things. Since they traveled together,

She basically does this kind of thing, which is one of her only advantages.

The girl then dropped the rest of her things and scampered away.

Two dancers who were also preparing to fetch water passed by and covered their mouths and chuckled at Uchiha Madara: "Brother, do you let your sister do everything?"

Uchiha Madara followed someone's "repeated instructions" and lowered his head directly to start packing things, as if she didn't hear it - she was afraid that his temper would get messy.

It's a pity that his behavior seemed to be regarded as shyness, so the two dancers immediately laughed forward and backward, and then left happily. Well, they really had no idea how close they were to death...so close...

Fortunately, the others stopped trying to commit suicide and jumped back and forth beside the dragon.

Not long after, the girl came back, but her posture made all the travelers look at her.

She was holding a large pile of firewood in her arms. On top of the firewood were several stones used to build the stove. On the stone was a pitcher half filled with water. In her left hand, she hooked the lanyards of two bamboo water tubes.

, the right hand is holding a small cloth package, which seems to be filled with wild vegetables, mushrooms, bird eggs... Well, it seems that there is also a rabbit that has been cleaned and skewered on wooden sticks?

Everyone except Uchiha Madara: "..." Anyway, this sister can go too far, right?

Everyone looked at Uchiha Madara silently: So, you, a brother, can feel at ease being raised by your sister...

Does Uchiha Madara care about other people's opinions?

Make no mistake, he never cared.

So under the gaze of these people, he continued to sit steadily, without even standing up to greet the girl covered in things. Instead, he allowed her to squat down and put down the things. Then he stretched out his hand to hold the jug and picked up the few things.

He skillfully built a small stove with a fallen stone.

The girl also cooperated tacitly and made a small shelf with a few longer firewood and hung the water jug ​​on it.

Uchiha Madara was about to put the firewood on the stove when he heard her shout: "Brother, wait a minute!"

"..." I have to say that every time he heard her call him "brother", he would feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe it was because no one had called him that for a long time. But there was nothing unexpected about it.

Disgusted.

"Look!"

He looked at the things that the girl held in front of him like a treasure, and raised his eyebrows: "In this season, there are actually taro?" He didn't have any special interest in this kind of food. He only remembered that in previous years, Uchiha usually eat it in autumn and the first month of the year.

Eat these.

"Right!" the girl said with surprise on her face, "I was also surprised when I found it. Let's bury it under the fire~"

Uchiha Madara was slightly startled again, because when he was young, he did do similar things with his other brothers, including Izuna. Everyone gathered around the fire to warm up, and then buried a pile of

Foods such as taro, peanuts, and a small pile of oranges were placed beside the fire. The brothers chatted casually and enjoyed the snacks that are considered "shabby" today while laughing and joking.

It all happened a long time ago, and I haven’t thought of it for many years.

It's just that recently, it's really easy to think of these things. Sure enough, once people are free, they will have random thoughts.

Uchiha Madara watched silently as the girl buried the taro under the soil with a happy face, then covered it with a thin layer of soil, and finally piled firewood on it and lit it - because he was pretending to be an ordinary person, he could only

It's not difficult for the two of them to light a fire in the ordinary way.

Uchiha Madara stretched out his hand and placed the rabbit next to the jar. The stove they built was quite large, and it was no problem to roast the rabbit and cook the soup at the same time. The ingredients of the soup included mushrooms, wild vegetables and bird eggs.

The others looked at the brother and sister's overly sumptuous dinner and suddenly felt that the dry food in their hands no longer tasted good at all.

The oldest storyteller rolled his eyes, took out a shabby but clean wooden bowl from his bag, walked over with a smile, and said: "This brother Naoki, little sister Kyoko,

How about we discuss it?"

Uchiha Madara still didn't pay attention to anyone, and he maintained his "taciturn" persona very well.

The girl asked curiously: "What's going on?"

"I only have dry food with me, and I want to ask you for a bowl of hot soup."

Uchiha Madara looked at the girl, thinking that she would be kind-hearted and unconditionally agree, but unexpectedly, after thinking about it for a while, she replied——

"So, what about the reward?"

The storyteller smiled slightly and replied with a flattering smile: "In the evening, I can tell you stories. I am not bragging, other storytellers may not know the stories in my belly." At this point, he paused, as if

He said in an appetizing tone, "To be honest, I have seen those two famous ninjas from a distance, and I have also met their personal ninjas by chance, and I have heard some anecdotes about them."

One of the dancers exclaimed: "Those two ninja masters, are they referring to..."

"That's right." The storyteller touched his gray beard and said with a proud face, "It is the 'Ninja God' Senju Hashirama-sama and the 'Ninja Shura' Uchiha Madara."

"I heard," the dancers seemed to be particularly interested in this topic and asked curiously, "that Lord Hashirama is gentle, kind and manly, while that Lord Madara has a ferocious face that is scary.

, is this true?”

"Pfft!" The girl laughed suddenly, turned her head to look at the person next to her, and winked at him mischievously - her face was full of ferocity~ It was scary~

Uchiha Madara: "..." The kid is looking for a fight?

"No, no," the storyteller shook his head and said with a smile on his face, "Not only does Madara-sama not look ferocious, he is also quite beautiful... It may not be an exaggeration to say that he is the most beautiful man in the world."

"Why?"

"real?"

"Isn't it?"

"It's different from what I heard."

…

There is no doubt that the storyteller's words have attracted the attention of everyone present, but he just showed a mysterious smile and looked longingly at the girl sitting by the fire, as if he was hinting at something.

The latter tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal. I'll not only give you soup, but also rabbit meat and taro. As compensation, you have to tell me about this."

Uchiha Madara's matter. Well said, I will treat you to dinner tomorrow~"

Uchiha Madara: "..."

"Okay!" The storyteller immediately sat next to the "brother and sister"'s fire with a smile on his face.

Even after using the transformation technique to turn herself into an ordinary appearance, the girl with still big eyes gently flipped the rabbit meat and asked curiously: "Old man, where are you going to the River Country?" She had no intention of forcing anyone now.

Just tell the story. Since we agreed to talk after dinner, she will abide by the agreement.

"Well, I haven't really thought about it." The old man smelled the aroma of meat and showed a satisfied expression. "Maybe he will stay for a while when he encounters a town that he likes, and then he can start again after having enough rest. I can't leave any day.

If I move, I will find a good-looking tree, sit against it and wait for the Lord Death to take me to the Pure Land."

The girl's eyes widened.

The storyteller seemed to realize something and laughed: "Little girl, you just wandered with your brother... No, you traveled not long ago, right? Not only me, but everyone else here has no home. In other words, everyone

He is a person who is at home all over the world and has no fixed abode."

"...Why?" The girl showed a puzzled expression, "The climate of this country is very good, and the land is quite fertile. The Fire Country not far from here is even better. Why not find a place to settle down?

But should we keep migrating?"

The storyteller was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "So, little girl, why did you and your brother choose this path?"

"..." The girl was silent, because they are a special case.

But she really didn't understand why this was the case. Not everyone is a migratory bird, at least with so many people present, not everyone likes to keep migrating and wandering. So, why do everyone choose to do this in unison?

after all……

What went wrong?

Her doubts and incomprehensions were all noticed by Uchiha Madara. In fact, he was also a little curious. What was so surprising about such a common thing?

Afterwards, she fulfilled her promise and treated the storyteller to tender rabbit meat, soft taro and a steaming bowl of wild vegetable, mushroom and egg drop soup.

"Shutan..." The storyteller patted his belly with a satisfied look on his face, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, little girl. I haven't eaten meat in more than half a year."

"Huh?" The girl was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly turned around and ran to the nearby woods to toss around for a while. Then, she grabbed a handful of things that looked like weeds and came back, "You haven't eaten meat for too long, and suddenly you are eating these.

It's easy for you to have diarrhea. I'll clean the jar and boil some potion for you later. Just drink it and you'll be fine." She didn't know why she knew this, but she just knew some knowledge.

The storyteller was stunned for a moment, and then showed a grateful expression: "Thank you very much." Doesn't he know about this? He knows, but he is greedy, he is hungry, and he wants to eat. Even if he will die tomorrow because of it

It is also willing to die of diarrhea, at least, it is a ghost who dies of hunger.

"It's okay." The girl smiled. Since she invited the other party to eat, she must be responsible to the end.

"Then let me tell you the promised story." The storyteller also carried an old shamisen on his back. He carefully took off the eating thing, stroked it lovingly, and said while playing,

"Let's talk about Uchiha Madara, the former leader of the Uchiha clan..."

"Why is he the former clan leader?" a dancing girl asked curiously.

"You don't know?" A wandering samurai replied, "Some time ago, Uchiha Madara left Konoha by himself, and then Uchiha chose someone else to be the clan leader."

Another wandering warrior on the side sneered: "I said I left on my own, but who knows if I was kicked out."

"Ah!" the dancer exclaimed, "How could this be? Aren't the rumors saying that Konoha wasn't founded by Senju Hashirama-sama and Uchiha-sama together? Who dares to kick him out?"

"Maybe it's the Senju Hashirama-sama?"

"No way?"

"It's not impossible. After all, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan have been enemies for generations."

…

Amid such discussion, the girl subconsciously looked at the people beside her.

The reflection of the firelight made his expression look a little uncertain.

She subconsciously reached out her hand and grasped the hem of his clothes tightly.

The author has something to say: Stroke the tabby cat’s big head... [It was patted away
