Uchiha girl, ignites a group pet war in Konoha

"Uchiha, what did you do to me?!"

The little red fox, so small that it seemed like it could be held in one hand, struggled desperately under Madara's ruthless claws. Its orange-red hair was spotless and shiny. Under the sunlight, it looked like a crimson cloud, shining brightly.

"So cute!"

In an instant, Shen Yue's heart was melted by this cute little fox. She couldn't wait to run to Uchiha Madara's feet and stretched out her two small white arms to take over the little nine-tailed fox that Madara had grabbed by the back of the neck. However, Madara cruelly raised his arms and looked at the little fox in his hand. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Are you the Nine-Tailed Fox?"

"Hateful Uchiha, answer my question first!"

The small, plush-like Nine-Tailed Fox twisted its body in Madara's hands angrily. However, when it was still a giant demon fox, it could not resist Madara. Now it can only wave its short limbs and nine furry tails, which are as cute and playful as a ball of red fluff.

"Master, hug me!"

Kamizuki, who was teased by the cute little fox and couldn't hold back at all, jumped up repeatedly and tried to grab the little Nine-Tailed Fox from Madara's hands. Seeing her look like she would not give up until she got the Nine-Tailed Fox, Madara was very unhappy and tutted, but still threw the fox into Shenyue's arms.

"Wow, soft and cute!"

Shenyue steadily took the little Nine-Tailed Fox thrown by Madara, and happily rubbed its furry head with her cheek, while hugging its petite body tightly with both hands.

As if playing with her beloved pet, Shen Yue used her slender fingers to gently fiddle with the Nine-Tail's soft ears and nine fluffy tails, and kissed the little Nine-Tail on the forehead from time to time, using all the techniques she used to stroke the cat's fur on the Nine-Tail.

Although her technique of stroking the fox's fur was very gentle, and the Nine-Tail couldn't help but droop its nine tails, looking like it was enjoying it, it was the strongest tailed beast after all, how could it be held in the arms of a little girl like a cat!

After finally regaining some dignity, the Nine-Tail immediately tried to intimidate Shen Yue with its fangs and claws, and even wanted to bite her arm directly. It roared:

"Damn little brat, let me go!"

However, just before the Nine-Tail was about to bite, Uchiha Madara's icy gaze had already pierced straight at him.

Looking at the Sharingan that had controlled him twice, the Nine-Tailed Fox was very spineless and cowardly. All the momentum that had just been gathered disappeared without a trace. It shrank obediently in Shen Yue's arms, allowing her to hold it and kiss it.

What can it do? It is just a poor little fox tortured by the cruel way of the fox...

"Master, master, let's raise it!"

Shen Yue, who was holding the little Nine-Tailed Fox tightly, had bright eyes. She looked at Uchiha Madara with great expectation. However, before Madara ruthlessly refused, the Nine-Tailed Fox protested first:

"I am the Nine-Tailed Fox, not the pet of the little devil!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox roared angrily, but actually looked fierce:

"The tailed beasts will never be slaves!"

"What's so good about raising such an ugly and weak beast."

Uchiha Madara frowned slightly and looked at the fox in Shen Yue's arms with disdain.

He has always upheld the doctrine of power, and this aesthetic has even continued to his preference for pets. Compared with the cute kittens that the Uchiha people prefer, Madara only likes birds of prey like falcons.

If the Nine-Tailed Beast was still the strongest tailed beast before, he could still consider taking Shenyue to make a summoning contract with it, but now this weak little fox is not worth looking at, and Madara doesn't like it at all.

"But I like it so much!"

Seeing that Uchiha Madara disagreed, Shenyue looked at him pitifully and begged bitterly. She rubbed the Nine-Tailed Beast's long ears reluctantly and picked it up like a plush toy.

"Nine-tailed Fox, what's your name?"

"Hmph, a mere human is not worthy of knowing my name!"

Nine-tailed Fox turned away proudly, refusing to tell his real name. Uchiha Madara glanced at him and said disdainfully:

"How can such a stupid beast have a name? Just call it Nine-tailed Fox."

"Asshole, who are you calling stupid? I do have a name, Nine-tailed Fox, remember it well!"

Shen Yue nodded. This name touched some of her long-fuzzy memories. It seems to be true.

"So this is your name."

Finally realizing that his real name was blown out like this, the desperate Nine-tailed Fox covered his face with his big tail. This pair of hateful Uchiha is definitely his nemesis!

"Hello, Nine-tailed Fox, I'm Shen Yue."Shen Yue patted Jiu Lama's head gently as if to comfort him, and then hugged the little fox again with satisfaction.

"I will take good care of you, come home with me!"

Ku Lama, who was held in Shen Yue's arms, had no desire to live. He really wanted to howl to the sky:

How can there be such a hateful human being in this world? !

After beating it up for no reason, they also robbed it of its chakra that it had accumulated for so many years. As a result, these two robbers thought that this was not enough, and now they want to kidnap it together!

Woo woo, it is obviously just a weak little fox, why did God let it meet this pair of evil master and apprentice?

......

A sudden rainstorm completely disrupted the itinerary of Madara and Shen Yue.

Caught off guard by the rain, Madara, who originally planned to rush back to Konoha, instinctively stopped and took Shen Yue into the nearest small village to take shelter from the rain.

Hiding in an abandoned hut, the strong wind swayed the eaves above their heads, the heavy rain mixed with muffled thunder hit the dilapidated gray walls, the doors and windows had long been rotten, and the wind brought moisture and rain mist into this simple shelter.

Uchiha people don't like to get wet in the rain, probably because they are all proficient in fire escape and their habits are very similar to cats. At this moment, the cold air of late autumn was aroused by the heavy rain, and the damp and cold air almost penetrated directly into the bone marrow. Even if Madara used fire escape to make a fire, Shen Yue, who was holding the fox, was still shivering from the cold.

Of course, she didn't really can't stand it, but she couldn't get over it psychologically.

How could a little princess who was pampered by thousands of people have suffered such hardship? The feeling of being wet made her feel even more disgusted.

Look at Madara opposite, he looks completely indifferent.

Shen Yue, who was extremely cold, stretched out her hands tremblingly, thinking that if she continued like this, she would freeze to death. At least she could use Wood Release to build a house that would not leak. However, considering her chakra amount, which was higher than before and her control level, which did not increase with the total chakra amount, she could:

Building a forest is easy, but building a house and weaving a flower basket is difficult.

And with Shen Yue's hands-on ability... well, the house she built was really artistic, but it was not suitable for real living.

Just when Shen Yue was so angry that he wanted to plant a towering tree to block the rain, the door opposite opened with a clang, and an old man waved to this side with great effort. Through the layers of rain, his hoarse voice was very hard to reach Shen Yue and Ban:

"Young man, it's raining heavily outside, bring your children in to shelter from the rain!"

Ban remained silent. Since entering this almost deserted village, he had already discovered that the old man had been secretly observing them. When the other party was observing them, he also divided a part of his mind to observe him, but this old man was indeed just an ordinary person.

But even so, Ban did not intend to accept the old man's kindness.

Gurgle——

But at this moment, Shen Yue's stomach suddenly protested. It had actually been a long time since she last ate.

Seeing the little girl blushing and covering her belly, the old man on the opposite side waved his hand again and shouted to the two:

"I am preparing food at home. If you don't mind, come and eat together."

Hearing this, Shen Yue couldn't sit still at all. After sleeping in the wild for so long, if possible, she really wanted to have a hot meal and sleep well on the bed!

She tugged at the corner of Ban's clothes, and when he looked down at her, she begged expectantly:

"Master, let's go!"

Looking at Shen Yue's expectant look, Ban sighed deeply and nodded resignedly.

Okay, let's go.

As soon as they entered the house, the old woman who was sitting in the room suddenly brightened up when she saw the two of them. A light of surprise suddenly flashed in her cloudy eyes. She hurried forward and opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say anything. After waiting for a long time, she choked and said:

"...You are all back, it's good to be back."

The old woman's voice was trembling, but it was full of joy and relief, as if she had reunited with an old friend after a long absence. Shen Yue and Ban were completely confused. They were obviously just strangers to each other.

However, when she saw the two people who were soaked like drowned rats, the old woman's face suddenly darkened again, and she immediately accused Ban:

"What's wrong with you as an adult? It's so cold and raining so hard, how can you take your children out to wander around!"

"....."

Ban was speechless after being accused. Not to mention ordinary people, even ninjas and nobles didn't dare to talk to him like this. He looked up and glared at this strange old woman, wanting her to recognize him.He was about to leave, but the old woman searched for a dry towel from the cabinet and wanted to put it directly into his hand, her eyes full of genuine concern and worry:

"Wipe it quickly! Look at you, you are all wet. You are so old, but you don't know how to take care of yourself."

Faced with this unexpected act of concern, Ban took a step back and did not take the towel. This motherly conversation made him confused, and his slightly widened black eyes revealed some confusion and innocence.

"Hurry up and get it. I still need to find clean clothes for my granddaughter!"

The old woman forcefully stuffed the towel into the confused hands of Ban, turned around and ran back to the room, rummaging through the boxes. Seeing that she couldn't find what she wanted, she anxiously asked her husband:

"Old man, where are your son's clothes and granddaughter's clothes? Why can't I find them!"

"Oh, how could you forget this? Didn't you hide them in the box a long time ago?"

The old man came out of the kitchen with hot water. After handing two cups of hot water to Shen Yue and Ban, he helped his wife search the dilapidated house. Finally, they took out two sets of relatively clean old clothes from the box where they stored unused things.

The two old people carefully shook off the dust on the clothes and gently touched the fabric, as if they were touching the faces of their loved ones.

"Nannan, your clothes are all wet. Change into this set first. Grandma will dry them for you after the weather clears up."

As if she understood something, Shen Yue was pushed into the inner room by the strange old woman. She dried her hair and body with a dry towel and changed into an old set of clothes of suitable size. The material of this dress was not good, but the stitches were extremely fine. It can be seen that the person who sewed it put in a lot of patience and love.

After the old woman went into the kitchen to work, the old man kept apologizing to them:

"I'm so sorry, the old woman is too old, she always forgets that her son and granddaughter are gone..."

"....."

Shen Yue, who had guessed the development of the matter, moved her lips, but could only sigh silently.

This place is actually the small village that was saved by Shen Yue from being destroyed by the Tailed Beast Ball. However, before the arrival of the Nine-Tails, this small village was about to perish.

Perhaps it was too long since anyone had listened to them, and before they knew it, the old man had told them all about his past.

This was actually the most common tragedy in the Land of Fire. Natural disasters took away the farmers' harvest for the year, and the tax collectors took away their remaining food. In order to survive, the young people had no choice but to resist.

However, experienced tax collectors often hired an elite ninja, and the young people who chose to resist were killed by the ninjas in the blink of an eye, including the old man's son.

If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the Nine-Tailed Fox, which scared away the ninjas and tax collectors who were killing people in the village, this small village would probably have been destroyed at that time.

Since then, the village without young people can only survive with great difficulty. In the past few years, they still had young children around them, but a chickenpox took away the lives of the children, and the old man's granddaughter died because of this.

"We two old bones won't live long anyway, maybe we won't even make it through this winter, so we're just waiting to be reunited with the children."

After listening to the old man's description, Shen Yue's face showed pity, and he turned his head away, unwilling to listen any more, while Uchiha Madara frowned, his expression was indeed cold.

"Children, don't be sad, we will be fine."

The old man stared at them with his kind and dim eyes, and when he talked about the next guardian god, his tone was even pious:

"The nine-tailed fox has been blessing us all the time!"

Hearing this, the red-haired fox who had been pretending to be dead in his bag could no longer sit still. Nine tails, isn't this talking about it, but how can it bless these ant-like humans!

"Human, how could I have helped you? Don't try to get close to me!"

"It actually has nine tails. Could it be the child of the fox master?"

The old man was so stiff that he couldn't move. After a moment, he came to his senses and immediately knelt down to the nine-tailed horse:

"Thank you for always blessing us, fox master!"

The reason why the old man wanted to thank the nine-tailed horse was actually very simple. It was because of the existence of the nine-tailed horse that the tax collector of the daimyo dared not approach here easily. Therefore, in the past two years, these old guys have been able to rely on wild vegetables and harvests to barely survive.

But it won't be long before the news of the disappearance of the nine-tailed horse will spread. After that, when the noble tax collector returns here, can the people of this small village still survive?
