Madara Uchiha sat under a tree on the road, closing his eyes to rest and recuperate. Although he had obtained the "Eternal Kaleidoscope", he was no longer afraid of the consumption of his pupil power, but considering that his eyes still belonged to his younger brother Izuna.

Partly, he loves these eyes very much and still maintains his old resting habit to this day.

His mood at the moment? It's not very wonderful. The reason...

He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the trees not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Come out!"

The next second, a girl's head popped up from behind the trees. Her long hair was scattered all over her face, and her eyes were round, big, black and bright. Just looking at them reminded Uchiha Madara for no reason.

The friend who just "severed ties" not long ago... no, the former best friend Senju Hashirama.

She was very short and had a tender face. She seemed to be about twelve or thirteen years old. She was wearing a black kimono that was also covered in dust. She looked like a dirty but extremely dexterous stray cat.

It was indeed just a moment of kindness...

In other words, until now, Uchiha Madara is not sure where his good intentions came from.

But when passing by a certain river, he accidentally saw a girl floating down the river. For a moment, he thought she was an Uchiha child, so he fished her up.

but……

First, it is impossible for such a big Uchiha to be left outside;

Secondly, the rest of the current Uchiha have nothing to do with him.

When he was about to leave the village, he went to see those former tribesmen and said bluntly that if he continued to stay in Konoha, one day they would become poor lambs under the butcher's knife. However, this group of short-sighted people ignored his warning and chose

The current comfortable life, the mood of choosing to entrust the lives of the entire clan to the superior?

madness.

Falcons should soar in the sky, fold their wings and pretend to be chickens. One day, they will become real chickens, but the only way out is to die.

However, since they are unwilling, since they reject him as the clan leader for the so-called "stability and peace", then he is determined to leave them behind without hesitation.

From then on, Konoha's Uchiha had nothing to do with him.

But at that time, he did feel soft-hearted for a moment. Perhaps it was because the girl with her unruly long hair and a slightly stubborn expression in her coma was slightly similar to him when he was a child. If so.

He has a daughter, maybe she looks like this.

However, when the girl opened her eyes, this thought completely disappeared.

She does have Uchiha's iconic black eyes, but her eyes are round and big, shining with purity and sincerity. No matter what, she doesn't look like him or any other Uchiha, but she looks a lot like him.

My friend Senju Hashirama who just had a complete breakup.

So his interest suddenly waned, he directly picked up the flame fan placed aside and turned around to leave.

However, since then, this stray cat-like girl has clung to him, following him day and night, and never leaving him.

No matter how fast he walked, she miraculously could keep up.

When he rests, she rests too.

When he ate, she would just look for something to eat.

He hurried on, and she quickly followed behind.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and attacked her. However, to his surprise, this girl was very strong, very strong. No matter what kind of attack, she could avoid it - from being casual at the beginning to

Even when he faced her squarely and tried his best, he never hit her once. However, if he felt excited at first, gradually Uchiha Madara found it meaningless.

Battles are the most interesting when they are evenly matched.

A fool who only knows how to dodge and not attack at all, has? What? The need to exert effort?

However, this annoying tail could not be shaken off no matter what - originally, she wanted to get closer to him, but under his repeated attacks, she understood what "keep a distance" meant, and cautiously

Follow? About two meters behind him.

"How long do you plan to follow me?" Uchiha Madara asked again in a deep voice.

The girl didn't say anything, but just walked out from behind the tree, grabbed the dirty hem of her clothes with her hands, and looked at him eagerly, with words written all over her eyes - please take me in.

Like a stray cat with a "Adoption" sign around its neck.

Very annoying.

You can't throw it away, you can't drive it away, you can't kill it, you can't kill it.

It is simply the stickiest maltose in the world.

However, Uchiha Madara, who had been alone for a long time, suddenly reacted at a moment - why?, he must drive her away? She is very strong and will never be a hindrance, or in other words, she is a very qualified tool, isn't she?

What he wants to do, although there is not yet a complete plan, but one thing is for sure, he should not be able to do it with his own strength, so he needs more

Helpers have more help or more tools, but this girl has no

The question is a suitable target. Of course, the premise is that this girl with a mysterious background is not a harmful person.

However, according to his recent observations, it's not like that.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara raised his chin towards the girl behind the tree and said: "Come here."

The girl hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached him, but her whole body was tense, as if she was ready to avoid attacks at any time, like a cat with its back arched.

Uchiha Madara rested his elbows on his knees and held his chin with one hand, looking at the girl with interest until she really stood in front of him.

"Can you understand me?"

The girl nodded.

"Do you have a name?" he asked.

The girl shook her head.

"Really?" Uchiha Madara doesn't have any plans to give her a name. What tools do he need? A name like "Hey" or "Kit" is totally fine, right?

"Why? Follow me?"

After hesitating for a moment, the girl replied in a low voice: "I always feel that... I have seen you somewhere. Moreover, even though you saved me, I have no place to go."

"Nowhere to go?" Uchiha Madara raised his eyebrows, "Where are you from?"

The girl shook her head.

Uchiha Madara lowered his face: "Don't want to say?"

"...No, I...before?, my mind has been very confused. I have only recovered in the past few days. I feel like I have lost all my memory. I can't even remember the past." The girl knotted.

But Baba tried to tell his situation clearly, "I, I think I saw you there. Excuse me, do you know who I am?"

Amnesia?

She doesn't think he would believe such nonsense, does she?

However, Uchiha Madara had an intuition that her words might not be fake. However, whether it was true or false, as long as she could use a qualified tool, everything would not matter.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara said: "I don't know you."

"..." The girl's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head, showing a disappointed expression.

"Do you definitely want to follow me?" Uchiha Madara asked again?.

The girl quickly raised her head and nodded her head vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah, yeah."

"Really??" Uchiha Madara, who was still holding his chin with one hand, chuckled, looked her up and down, and said, "If you want to follow me, you need to pay a price."

"Ai, the price?" The girl was stunned for a moment, and then she dug hard at her sleeve as if she had just woken up from a dream.

, After a moment, she looked at Uchiha Madara with a slightly wary look, took out an exceptionally bright-colored mushroom from her sleeve, held it in both hands and brought it to him, "Please, please accept it!"

"

Uchiha Madara: "..."

Why? Mushrooms?

And the color is so bright, who is she trying to poison?

Tsk, it reminded him of that guy Hashirama again.

He suddenly showed a disgusted expression: "Either? Take it back, or? I'll chop off your hand and you can choose."

She immediately retracted the hand holding the mushroom, moving as quickly as a cat pulling a toy.

The next second, her stomach suddenly made a "gurgling" sound.

Uchiha Madara: "..."

Her little face blushed slightly, and then, without hesitation, she brought the poisonous mushroom to her mouth, said "Aww", took a big bite, and chewed.

Madara Uchiha's face changed slightly, he raised his hand and pinched the girl's chin, and said in a deep voice: "Spit it out."

"?"

"Don't let me say the same thing a second time."

The girl's eyes showed a look of reluctance, but she still said "poof" obediently and spit out the chewed mushroom residue directly onto Uchiha Madara's black-gloved hand.

Uchiha Madara: "..." Hehe, he wants to kill someone.

He retracted his hand, taking off his gloves and throwing them aside with an even more disgusted expression. Then, he took out a scroll from behind his waist and asked the girl in front of him: "Can you unlock the sealing technique?"
