Yunin Village.

The little black cat rolled patiently on the floor in the room for half an hour (Uchiha Madara felt that if she did this every day, then there would be no need to find someone to clean the room), then sat up with a "hhhhhhhhhhhh"

, said with a happy face: "I've digested my food! You can take a bath in the hot springs!"

It was obvious that she was very excited.

In fact, it's normal. Although many cats don't like bathing, there are exceptions, right? Especially, she is a "beautiful cat" who loves to be clean. She used to like bathing when she stayed in a hotel, and now she is the first to take a bath.

It’s normal to feel overly happy after taking a dip in a natural hot spring.

Madara Uchiha looked at her standing up and rushing into the bathroom with the items she had prepared in advance. He couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his mouth and shook his head.

The bathroom has a door that leads directly to the hot spring in the small courtyard, so those who are going to soak in the hot spring do not need to wrap up their bath towels and walk through the main hall to go to the backyard.

Uchiha Madara sat cross-legged in the corner of the room, randomly found a scroll and started reading it. It wasn't until he heard the slight sound of water coming from the hot spring outside the house that he put away the scroll and stood up, then went to the bathroom to get ready.

Not long after, he walked out with a bath towel loosely wrapped around his waist. Although he likes to eat sweets, he always exercises a lot, so his body is well-proportioned and the muscles are tight, and his figure can be said to be quite good - especially his abdomen.

With his massive abdominal muscles and those two too beautiful mermaid lines, can he compare with them in this aspect? Perhaps only Senju Hashirama can compete with him.

When he walked into the hospital, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a little black cat wrapped in dense smoke, lying happily on the stone next to the hot spring pool, seeming to be observing something. There were also neatly placed items on the stone next to it.

With the bathrobe and towel folded, it can be said that you are fully prepared.

He walked to the other side, pulled off the bath towel around his waist, and slowly stepped into the water until his whole body sank into the warm spring water, and then a pleasant sigh escaped his throat - it was indeed very comfortable.

As a ninja, it is inevitable to get injured. Although most ninjas have strong physical fitness, it is inevitable to leave hidden injuries. Therefore, many ninjas like to soak in hot springs, which are very good for the body. In the past years, he often and

Hashirama or Izuna take baths together, and occasionally drink wine together. But this year it seems...

Just at this time.

"Madara-sama!"

The cry of the little black cat came from the other side of the wall.

"Huh?" Uchiha Madara, who was leaning against the hot spring pool, casually poured a handful of water on his muscular shoulders and responded.

.

"Do you want a drink?"

Uchiha Madara raised his eyebrows: "Did you bring it?"

"Yeah, yeah, I just prepared everything, the drink for me, and the wine for you~"

After a while, there was another slight sound of water, and then, a small tray containing wine, wine cups and some snacks slowly floated to his side through the small gap he had left deliberately before.

.

Uchiha Madara stretched out his hand to hold the wooden tray, picked up the wine bottle, poured some wine into the wine cup, raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Well, this drink is not bad.

Although there is no one to drink with this year, it still tastes good to drink alone while soaking in the hot springs like now.

At this moment, the little black cat suddenly let out an exclamation——

"Madara-sama, it seems to be snowing!"

Uchiha Madara then raised his head, and sure enough, sporadic snowflakes were slowly falling from the sky. When he came, the owner of the shop said that it had not snowed yet in Yunin Village this year, so this must be the first snow of the year.

The snowflakes fell on Madara Uchiha's dark hair, his gorgeous face, his shoulders exposed from the water, and his hand holding the wine cup. They quickly melted into droplets of water with a slight coolness, and without knowing it,

I felt the snow gradually getting heavier, and it also fell on the hot spring and on the rocks beside it...

Such a beautiful view.

Why not make people feel relaxed and happy?

"Little devil."

"What? Madara-sama."

"Sing a song."

"...Huh? What song is it?"

"Anything is fine."

There is scenery and wine, but how can there be no music?

A few seconds later, the girl on the other side of the wall slowly sang a folk song related to winter snow. The general meaning is that winter has come and it has snowed, and it is time for the relatives who have left home to come back. Everyone gathers around the warm fire.

Beside the pile, we happily ate winter specialties and chatted... It's snowing so well, next year will definitely be a good harvest.

Uchiha Madara listened, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

Next year may indeed be a good year.

the other side.

Senju Hashirama, who had finally prepared himself mentally, also put his hand on his younger brother's shoulder happily, so it's good to have a reliable younger brother~ Just enjoy it to the fullest, everything else

, Tobirama will help take care of it.

It's just that, hey, Tobirama is good everywhere, why can't he always look at Madara to his liking?

If it is said that he and Madara have a past life fate, then does it mean that... Tobirama and Madara had a grudge in their previous life? If true, then the grudge is probably not small, hey... But, thinking about this now is actually not a big deal.

It’s not of much use. After what happened to Izuna... the conflict between Tobirama and Madara can be said to be irreconcilable.

But there is something really strange about this matter.

Although Tobirama didn't say it clearly, as the eldest brother, he knew that Tobirama shouldn't be sure that he would kill Izuna at that time. That's why, when they met again, he would ask, "Where is Izuna?"

.If Tobirama thought that Izuna would die from the very beginning, why would he ask that question? Isn't this just doubly irritating and irritating Madara?

In other words, Tobirama felt from the beginning that he only hurt Izuna and the latter would not die.

But the reality is - Izuna is dead, and his eyes were taken away by Madara.

Although there were some strange rumors about this matter within the Uchiha clan, Konoha Village and even the ninja world, Senju Hashirama never believed that his Apocalypse friend would kill his brother to catch the eyes.

In short, this matter is shrouded in mystery. Unfortunately, it is difficult to investigate in detail now...

Even if he wanted to, he couldn't produce any evidence for review. In addition, if Tobirama and Madara refused to cooperate, everything would be of no avail.

Thinking of this, Senju Hashirama couldn't help but sigh again.

Senju Tobirama said with a dark face: "Brother, if you really don't want to go, we won't go." Just think of him? All your overtime during this period has been wasted.

"...Go! I have to go! I've been working overtime recently to the point where I felt like vomiting when I saw the office."

Senju Tobirama was like "haha" and thought, "Brother, you will work more overtime than me?", but he also knew that his eldest brother had been really hard recently, not only physically but also mentally. So, he worked hard.

Want him to? Relax a little.

The Flying Thunder God is activated.

The two of them also appeared in the room he had booked in Yunin Village half a month ago.

The next second——

"Madara!!!" Senju Hashirama showed a surprised expression.

Uchiha Madara paused while drinking leisurely, with a surprised expression on his face.

Hashirama?

Because he was on a "leisure vacation", he didn't use the transformation technique, nor did he completely hide his chakra. The result was that he was sensed by Senju Hashirama for the first time. In the end, he

?The two of us are really too familiar with each other.

Uchiha Madara knew very well that it was too late to retreat now. So he only had time to shout to the little black cat next door, "Put on your clothes!", and jumped out of the hot spring and wrapped himself in a towel around his waist.

I saw someone falling from the sky.

"spot!!!"

Senju Hashirama ran to Uchiha Madara with a happy face, his face full of excitement

Said, "Long time no see!!!"

Uchiha Madara: "..." Oh.

Can you let him put on some clothes first?

Following closely behind Senju Hashirama was Senju Tobirama. In fact, the latter was very surprised, because according to his expectation, what Uchiha Madara, a gloomy guy who left the village, might do was find a gloomy person.

The cat in the cave was thinking hard about various conspiracies against Konoha, instead... he seemed to be in a good mood and went to Yunin Village to soak in the hot springs to spend the winter.

Thinking about this, Senju Tobirama couldn't help but take a closer look at Uchiha Madara. He was even more surprised to find that Uchiha Madara seemed to be in a good mood indeed, and the temperament and atmosphere exuding around him was completely different from when he left the village.

If he was like a walking bomb that could explode at any time when he left the village, then at this moment, he was like a sea of ​​​​fire that was still blazing but relatively stable, still as dangerous, but not as easy to lose control of.

What on earth is this...

What Senju Tobirama can detect, Senju Hashirama can naturally detect. He looked up and down and seemed to have lost some weight (Tobirama: No thank you!), but his spirit and mood were obviously better.

Even Apocalypse's friend, who was suspected to be approaching when he was a boy, showed a bright smile from the heart: "Madara, you look very good."

Uchiha Madara: "..." Oh.
