ps: 5.5K words, combined.
The sunshine is soft and warm, the air is fresh and pleasant, making people feel extremely comfortable.
early morning.
The elder opened the door of his house and went to the clan's morning market as usual.
Under the early morning sunshine, the morning market is bustling with people. Some people are busy selecting fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and other foods. Some are eating food while exchanging life experiences and feelings with each other. The atmosphere is peaceful and lively.
A harmonious and beautiful picture suddenly appeared in front of you.
The Great Elder liked this scene very much. All his heirs died on the battlefield, and his parents all died on the battlefield. When a person reaches middle age, he becomes an orphan. There is nothing worse than this in the world.
But isn't this peaceful scene what those who died on the battlefield want to protect?
Looking at the flying bird passing by him, the elder stretched out his hand to stop him and said with emotion on his face.
"It's so frizzy in the morning.
Faced with this beautiful scene in front of you, wouldn't you stop and take a look?
I really hope that time will pass slower now. It's best to let time stay here forever.
I want to take a closer look at those who died on the battlefield, and take a closer look at the scenes they cannot see.
After they die, I can tell them."
As he said that, he saw Feiniao looking at him with contempt, the great elder He poked the cane and felt angry.
"What?
You don't feel anything when you see this scene?
The thing you wanted to protect when you went to the battlefield is now in front of you. Don't you want to accompany me to see it more?"
Looking at the suddenly nervous elder, Feiniao couldn't bear it. Zhu Qing took a breath of cool air.
Is this guy too hungry to find anything to do?
"Old man.
Let me tell you, when I went to the battlefield, I didn't go there to protect anything. I was forced to do so.
In the ninja school, I only learned one three-kaya technique.
When we first learned how to set traps, the wild boars would take a detour after seeing them.
How can a cannon fodder like me be willing to go to the battlefield?
Do you know how the Thousand-Armed Rope Tree died?
He just stepped on a trap, a trap that wild boars know how to avoid when they see it, and was killed by the explosion.
Back then, I was a bit worse than the Thousand-Hand Rope Tree, and my ability to survive until I came back was all due to my luck. "
The elder who was shattered by Asuka's words suddenly became angry. He turned to look at the other party and asked.
"You have a mountain of ninjutsu at home, how dare you say that you go to the battlefield with the three body skills? "
Feiniao rolled his eyes at him and said speechlessly.
"You really think highly of me.
Do you want me, a newly graduated genin, to run over and put out the fire? ? "
Okay!" alright! "
At this time, Liang Yi, who was holding soy milk in his hand, came over and stopped the quarrel here.
He glanced at the elder who was blowing his beard and staring. After taking a sip of the soy milk, he persuaded.
"The way of thinking of young people nowadays is different from yours. Same, what are you doing seriously? "
"Yes!" "
The great elder looked at Feiniao's leaving figure and nodded in agreement.
After all, he has never experienced so many things and has no such deep experience. It is understandable that he has shallow thoughts.
I also had very shallow thoughts back then. It all depends on The accumulation of years can...
"Alas! "
Before he could continue thinking, Liang Yi sighed and said in a low voice.
"Great Elder, you have gone through a long journey, and it's time to rest.
I am different. I am not yet 60 years old, and my thoughts are almost at the same level as those of today’s young people.
Who else could I be, the leader of the family? ? "
Hearing Liang's words that did not hide his ambition, the elder's nose was twisted with anger.
No one in this group of tribesmen is worry-free.
The younger ones have no formal appearance, and the older ones reveal their ambitions all the time.
Everyone is always thinking about their own position.
60 years old is still young???
I am only 10 years older than you.
But
when he glanced at the old man not far behind Liang Yi, the voice in his heart that wanted to curse was gradually replaced by a touch of uneasiness.
This was the second time he encountered He did.
When he met "that person" for the first time, even though he didn't know him, the sudden uneasiness in his heart still made the great elder notice him. Then
he went back and asked Madou to ask Ryoichi.
Naturally, no questions came out.
But after the second encounter, I felt more and more familiar with that person and became more and more uneasy in my heart. There
must be people who can make me uneasy, but not many.
But let him search through his mind. , I couldn’t find anyone who could match my number.
It was strange.
“Cousin! "
The elder's memory was interrupted by the word "cousin". He raised his head to look at Ryoichi who had left, and he froze on the spot.
"Doesn't he have no relatives?
When did this old guy recognize his cousin again? "
An hour later.
The elder, who was not in the mood for breakfast, was walking alone on the streets of the clan. He lowered his head and kept thinking about the reason for his uneasiness. There were
few factors that could make him uneasy.
Konoha was beaten last time He never felt uneasy when he arrived at the village gate.
He also never felt uneasy during the family civil war.
There were only a few times when I felt uneasy.
One of them was when Konoha was just established. At that time, the Uchiha clan had hatred against most families in Konoha Village. It felt very insecure to live in a village with so many enemies.
Secondly, the family abandoned Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Madara left Konoha, making him very insecure.
Thirdly, the second generation came to power and directly offered the police department a pie that was impossible to refuse. This was because he knew that the sky would not give the pie to the Uchiha, and even if it did, it would not fall from the Senju clan. .
This also made him very insecure.
Fourth, the chaos caused by "Uchiha Setsuna" who claimed to inherit Uchiha Madara's will was quelled by the Second Hokage. At that time, he thought Senju Tobirama would liquidate Uchiha.
As a result, nothing happened until the Third Hokage came to power.
Hmm.
Very uneasy.
"Konoha. Uchiha. Uchiha. Uchiha Madara Senju Tobirama Senju Hashirama Uchiha Madara Shimura Uchiha Madara??" "Uchiha Madara??" "Cousin Uchiha
Ryoichi
? ?"
After he muttered it several times, he cried out on the street.
Mother!
The great elder beat his chest hard, his heart beating faster and faster as if he had taken a stimulant.
I actually lost my mind and went crazy this morning, thinking that Uchiha Ryoichi had recognized a cousin again.
Then...
that's clearly Uchiha Madara Ryoichi,
you bastard.
It's okay to hide such a big thing from the entire family, but you actually hide it from me.
It's a shame that I still regard you as my younger brother.
at this time.
The surrounding tribesmen saw the great elder's face turned purple and squatting on the ground as if he couldn't breathe. They quickly ran over and expressed concern.
"Great Elder, what's wrong with you?"
"Yes, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Great Elder, please wait here. I'll call Master Asuka for you right away."
He couldn't hear a word from the noisy voices around him now. Went in.
The great elder only felt that his chest was tight at this time, as if there was a big stone pressing on it, making it very difficult to breathe.
"Great Elder."
He raised his head and glanced at the tribesmen around him who were opening their mouths and talking. He opened his mouth to say something, but found that nothing could come out.
What did you say? ?
Tell them that Uchiha Madara is here? ?
Scaring people to death, okay?
"Huh!"
The elder took a deep breath. He stood up tremblingly and waved to the people around him. Then after identifying the direction, he walked towards Liang's family.
What is coming will come, there is no way to avoid it.
Anyway, he didn't believe that Uchiha Madara was going home to retire.
Bastard Ryoichi, why are you leading him to the family?
Half an hour later.
Not far outside Uchiha Ryoichi's courtyard.
The surrounding tribesmen looked at the sneaky elder in front of them, looking like a thief, and they all murmured in low voices.
"Hey, do you feel that the great elder looks very vulgar now?" "
It is indeed a bit vulgar, as if he entered a widow's house at night." "
That's right, look at the expectant but frightened look in the great elder's eyes, and then look at that Careful steps.
It's a pity that it's daytime now, otherwise I really thought that the great elder has rejuvenated."
"What happened during the day? You can go during the day."
"Isn't it too bold during the day?"
"What's wrong with being bolder? Who dares to gossip, he is the elder of the family."
Glancing at the group of gossiping tribesmen, the elder's cheek twitched.
Mingming Mingming still felt that the atmosphere of exchanging life experiences with each other and discussing various gossips was very good, but now he actually feels that these words are a bit harsh. Is it
because the subject of discussion has changed from others to himself?
A group of idlers who have nothing to do but gossip all day long.
Really annoying!
Thinking of this, the Great Elder no longer hesitated. He straightened his clothes and shouted in a low voice.
"Hun Liang. Liang Yi."
Liang Yi, who was basking in the sun in the yard, suddenly heard a very faint voice coming from outside the yard.
He opened his eyes and looked at the deserted street, then picked his ears and said to himself.
"Is this an auditory hallucination?" Asuka
was standing on the window sill looking into the distance when he suddenly saw someone squatting opposite his house.
After taking a closer look, he saw clearly that it was his elder who was sneakily squatting in the corner, muttering something in a low voice.
Listening to the great elder's weak voice, Asuka put his hands to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet and shouted.
"Great Elder, your voice is so low, why are you meowing like a cat?
This is Elder Liangyi's home, not the widow's home."
"Shush!"
"Shush!"
"Shush!"
The great elder gestured desperately towards Asuka.
You don’t know what’s going on, kid. Don’t you know I’m nervous now?
idiot.
"Hey!"
Ah!
The elder who was tapped on the shoulder jumped up on the spot. He looked at Ryoichi who suddenly appeared next to him and said with some embarrassment.
"That...that"
Ryoichi looked at the great elder with a scrutinizing look and frowned.
"What are you doing?"
After hearing this, the great elder stood up and did a chest expansion exercise, then took a big breath of fresh air and said with an awkward smile.
"The weather is nice today. I have eaten and have nothing to do, Yoyo."
"Really?"
Ryoichi looked at the weird old man and said hesitantly. "Are you okay?"
The great elder shook his head and confirmed.
"No!"
"Really not?"
"No."
"Then I have something to do."
As he said that, Liang pulled him to an uninhabited corner in the distance, and then secretly raised his head to observe the surroundings.
After seeing that there was no one around, he faced the great elder and sighed deeply.
"I want to tell you something."
Hearing this, the great elder shook his head vigorously and refused.
"Don't listen, don't listen."
"It's a big deal."
"Don't listen, don't listen, I won't listen, shut up. If I
hear this, I might not be able to survive."
Looking at Da Da, who was covering his ears with both hands . Elder, Ryoichi gave him a strange look and said doubtfully.
"Do you know what I want to say? You won't survive?"
"Stop talking, I'm not ready yet. Come back in two days."
The great elder waved his hand, turned around and left.
Sure enough, when things came to a head, I still couldn't face it.
? ? ?
Ryoichi looked at the elder with a question mark, then put his hands on his shoulders and said in a low voice.
"As the second-in-command in the family, you must know this."
The elder paused, and the pain in his heart was now all reflected on his face.
I really owe it to myself, so why should I look for that uneasiness in my heart?
Eating breakfast honestly and bickering with birds, isn't it a happy day?
After a moment of silence, he rubbed his stiff cheeks, then turned to look at Ryoichi, with a majestic look on his face, and said.
"I know what you want to say."
"You know?"
"Yes."
He nodded heavily and sighed.
"You shouldn't have brought him back."
Ryoichi raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
"Bring it back??"
Seeing Liang Yi still trying to hide the matter from him, the great elder sighed heavily and said.
"What are Uchiha Madara doing back here?"
"Oh~"
Ryoichi had a look of surprise on his face. He patted the elder on the shoulder and said.
"So this is what you are talking about.
I never wanted to hide it from you. You didn't come yesterday.
Also, this is not what I want to say."
? ? ?
Looking at Ryoichi's serious expression, the elder felt that the muscles on his face were twitching.
It turns out that I don’t need to know about this matter.
"I just want to say that Feiniao has fallen in love with a girl from another village. The girl’s identity is a bit troublesome, so I have to inform you in advance.
However, since you talked about your cousin,
then let’s Talk about cousin."
As he spoke, Ryoichi patted his chest and said with relief.
"I've been feeling very depressed lately. No one in the entire family or village knows about my achievements, so I'm feeling very depressed.
Now, I have to tell you something."
The great elder smacked his lips, and the corner of his eye kept scanning around, looking for a suitable place to escape.
"Don't even think about running away. Since you have guessed this, you can't run away.
At worst, I will go to your house tonight."
"Alas!"
Hearing this, the great elder suddenly squatted on the ground, his voice seemed to have aged a few years.
"I was only 18 years old at the time and had no say in the family.
You also know the situation of the family at that time. Regardless of the strength, prestige, or ability of the clan leader, he was simply not qualified to serve as the first Hokage. The only
person who could assist him was Mr. Izuna. Let's go.
There are enemies all around the family."
Ryoichi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, then sat down on the ground and said.
"I was eight years old, and I didn't even have the qualifications to speak. Besides,
my cousin has a big influence. Since you betrayed him, he won't want you anymore. It's that simple."
As he spoke, he looked at the slowly moving white clouds in the sky. , said in a low voice.
"At the beginning, my cousin also knew his situation and wanted to withdraw voluntarily.
It was because you were anxious about the decision you made and went against the clan leader to make decisions without permission."
Hearing this, the elder leaned against the wall and looked up. Sky, said to himself.
"Then why did he come back?
The family shouldn't be worthy of his nostalgia.
Don't use excuses to prevaricate me.
You, Liang's eldest brother and Feihe's grandson, don't have much weight in his heart."
Liang Yi shrugged and said very bachelorly.
"I don't know why I came back.
Last time on the young patriarch's birthday, among the crowd of birds, he saw his cousin with a very outstanding temperament at a glance. He saw that his cousin hadn't eaten for a day, so he carried him back." Bang
!
The great elder slapped him on the forehead.
His face was full of depression.
His eyes are so poisonous.
Uchiha Madara's temperament is indeed unique in the entire ninja world.
You actually carried me here.
Looking at the tangled look on his face, Ryoichi raised his eyebrows.
"Are you planning to report your cousin to Konoha?"
The great elder said nothing.
He is also thinking about how to solve this matter.
The bomb was so big
that it might kill the family in one fell swoop.
At this time, Liang Yi patted the elder on the shoulder, his tone was quite teasing.
"I know Namikaze Minato is very strong, but what if, I say what if.
Cousin, he directly used Susanoo, pulled out two big swords and chopped from the east end of the village to the west end, from the south of the village to the north of the village, you How should Namikaze Minato deal with it?
How should Sarutobi Hiruzen deal with it?
You know it.
My cousin's Susanoo is different from ordinary people's.
It can fly.
And now Konoha has no one to use "Myojin" "Gate" between the pillars, even with a barrier like the "Four Red Sun Formation", my cousin is not a fighting idiot. Can't he
run?
Susanoo can run as fast as he wants with his two legs. ."
Seeing that the great elder didn't pay attention to him, Liang Yi breathed a sigh of relief again, put his arm around the other person's shoulder, and said excitedly.
"As an old man who has survived from the end of the Warring States Period to this day.
Before Konoha was established, you must have seen the battle between Hashirama and my cousin.
I heard from my eldest brother that when my cousin slashed down, the mountains were flattened.
That's terrible. Susanoo, who competes with the God of War, is the ultimate power of the family.
Although Senju Hashirama is stronger, you can't say that his cousin is weak.
Is there anyone in the entire ninja world who can compete with Senju Hashirama?
My cousin is the second best in the ninja world.
And now Number One is dead. "
Every time Ryoichi said something, the elder's face darkened.
He had indeed seen the war, otherwise his thighs would not be trembling.
Although ninjas are old, their physical strength and other things will decline.
But...
who dares to bet on Shura in the ninja world ? It can last for a few minutes.
"Actually, you don't have to worry so much. "
Ryoichi looked at the dark-faced elder and comforted him.
"The stories circulating now are all embellished family history. You and I both know what the real situation was at that time.
Those who betrayed are now dead of old age.
He has no love or hatred for his family and treats all of us as passers-by.
It's that simple.
Although I don't know the purpose of his coming here, I guess he didn't do it intentionally to cause damage.
He's not that narrow-minded. "
Ah?" "
Asuka stuck his head out from the wall at this time. He looked at the two squatting on the ground and asked doubtfully.
"So, what is the real history of our family? "
Looking at the sudden appearance of the flying bird, the two old men's faces turned dark.
The elder took a deep breath and asked.
"Why did you appear suddenly? "
"I saw you two chatting secretly here, and I thought you were talking about my affairs. I didn't expect that it was related to family history.
how?
What happened to Uchiha Madara? "
Feiniao was lying on the wall, looking down at the two old men.
If he remembered correctly, Uchiha Madara should have been extubated long ago, right?
It seems that soon after Obito turned on the kaleidoscope, Madara pulled out the tube.
How much time has passed.
Madara's bones might have melted.
Looking up at the ignorant Asuka, the elder shook his head, then stood up and patted the dirt on his butt. He looked at Uchiha Ryoichi next to him with a calm look on his face.
As everyone knows, the name you mentioned casually is an existence that would make me break out in a cold sweat even in my dreams.
And even though some people are suffering from great pain, they don't go around talking about it.
In their eyes, their own pain is nothing, and their own grievances are nothing. As long as their descendants can live well and be happy, they will be satisfied.
Wherever the leaves dance, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout.
I have practiced this kind of thing of shouldering everything to protect the family countless times in my dreams. How could I make a mistake this time?
Seeing Ryoichi looking at him with a calm expression, the elder rubbed his trembling calf, then waved to Asuka as if nothing had happened.
"I'm leaving."
"By the way, I like eating meatballs."
