The fish soup still smells so delicious.

The strong appetite that Uchiha had just now was gone forever.

Especially, there are still such voices coming from outside——

"Tsubaki... bring the prepared fish soup with you."

"……I don't."

"Be obedient, I just tasted a little bit, and it tastes very good. You take it and take Mei to find one or two ninjas who look relatively kind, and then offer the fish soup to them. Maybe, look.

For the sake of delicious soup, they... they can be a little gentler to you tonight."

"..."

"Mei, Mei is still? This is the first time she has been taken to accompany those people. Chun, take care of her, okay?"

"...I will?."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Chun, for us, for the village, for everyone." The house owner's wife said while sobbing softly again, "If you really blame, then blame.

Let us, hate us, we are useless and cannot protect you. If only I were younger, maybe..."

…

"It's almost time. Is your hair combed? Come on, let me apply lipstick for you."

…

"Mei, even if you feel pain, you must not resist, otherwise, you may..."

…

"Go ahead, we'll wait for you to come back at home."

…

inside the room.

The girl stood up straight silently and said with a dark gaze: "Brother Ban, I'm going out for a while."

"How long?" Uchiha Madara did not stop.

"Soon." She said softly, "The udon seems to be ready. Brother Madara, please help me serve the soup. I'll drink it while it's hot when I get back."

"Really?" Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow, "Okay."

Then, he carefully served the soup and waited patiently for the rare and angry little girl to return.

A small bowl that is the right size to suit her appetite. First put a layer of cooked udon noodles on the bottom of the bowl, and then top it with the already soft daikon, followed by the soybeans.

If the fried tofu is full of soup, poke it with chopsticks, the white soup will come out. The fish meat and fish bones have been completely broken down by the long stewing, in order to prevent fish stab wounds.

The delicate esophagus of the kitten is affected, so when scooping out the soup, only scoop out the boiling top part. Be careful not to scoop out the ginger slices. Kittens drink ginger soup but do not like to eat ginger.

Once, twice, three times...

Until the bowl becomes?

Seventy percent full.

Uchiha Madara placed the bowl in front of where the little girl was sitting, and gently placed his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl. The hot mist floated, and the aroma came to his nostrils.

He turned to serve himself some soup.

When he blew the hot air from the bowl gently and tried to take the first sip of soup, the girl's figure appeared in the room again, with a slight chill on her body. She strode to the stove and sat down, picked up the

He took a big sip of the soup on the ground in front of him and showed a satisfied expression: "The temperature is just right~"

Then I started picking udon noodles with chopsticks.

"Suck, suck, suck~"

"Hmm, udon? The texture is just right."

Uchiha Madara, who also had a bit of a cat tongue, testing back and forth on the "burned" edge, finally took the first sip of soup. The hot soup entered his stomach and filled his mouth with delicious flavor. He enjoyed the winter delicacy a little.

Then he asked: "Is everything resolved?"

"Yes." She nodded, and answered while eating the white radish from the bowl, "That group of people will leave the village soon."

"Not killed?"

"Dead."

"so……"

Uchiha Madara didn't ask again.

Because? He knows what she means -

How many of these wandering ninjas have accomplices or friends? Therefore, they cannot die in the village. This will bring endless trouble to the village. And they cannot stay forever.

Shelter this?village.

Therefore, the best way is to let them leave first, and then let them die "naturally" outside.

This kind of thing seems difficult, but for her, it is just an "illusion" thing.

He knew that she was very good at illusion.

Because when he first wanted to get rid of her, he used a genjutsu on her. The genjutsu used by the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan only stunned her for a second or two. It was just like a joke. Then?

And?, is this true?.

And the little girl who talked about the murder in an understatement while drinking fish soup seemed to show a rare cold side of her character.

Hate?

No, I simply couldn’t like it more.

After all, this is a rare moment for a kitten to stretch out its paws to hunt.

It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes.

But there was nothing he could do, after all, he had to serve her soup.

Thinking like this? A certain young man named Uchiha didn't seem to realize that he seemed to have unintentionally shown a rare virtuous side of his character~

soon

.

The eldest daughter Chun and the second daughter Ju ran back home in a hurry.

"...Chun? Ju? Why are you back? What happened? What happened?"

"The leader of that group of ninjas seemed to have received some urgent news and left in a hurry."

"That's great...you all?..."

"We are all fine. They have already left before we arrived. They didn't even look at us. Ah, by the way, mom, look, I brought the fish soup back. Let's drink it together.

.”

"Mom, I want to drink fish soup."

"Well, Mom, Dad, Mei, let's have some fish soup together. It's still hot."

…

After a while, the family gathered together to drink fish soup in the room next door, which was suddenly filled with almost intense joy - maybe for them, happiness is such a simple thing that is not disturbed by outsiders.

Although they are poor and embarrassed, they live together quietly and peacefully as a family.

Because of this encounter, the caravan did not dare to stay any longer. Early the next morning, at dawn, they took all the goods and "free passengers" and left together.

And Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Zi walked away quietly.

The first person in the family to get up is the eldest daughter Chun. She is the first one to get up. Then she has to chop wood, fetch water, boil water and make breakfast. After that, she wakes up only thirty years ago.

My parents, who have lost their strength at the age of 2 and are gradually unable to do daily tasks, and my two younger sisters.

There is no doubt that she is a beautiful, kind and virtuous girl.

And such good children, of course, should be rewarded.

So...

She gently opened the patched paper partition door, and was a little surprised to see a plate at the door, a plate that they had previously served with fish to the guests next door. The plate had been washed again.

Then something seemed to be reinstalled. The handkerchief belonging to her was still covered on top of the object, and there were still flowers beside it, but they were not plum blossoms sent by her, but plum blossoms.

Five daffodils that are somewhat rare in the middle of winter.

Narcissus is a flower that symbolizes complete happiness.

Although the girl named Chun may not understand the meaning, perhaps at this moment, she clearly understands that this is a blessing from the two kind guests.

She opened the handkerchief with trembling hands, and saw underneath it...

A sum of money.

"!" She subconsciously covered her mouth.
