Uchiha Madara hid outside Cathdrall's Grand Cathedral, peering quietly inside. He saw a little red-haired girl speaking to a brown-haired boy: "Can you stay with me a little longer? Just a little while. I'll show you the kitten I'm raising."
The red-haired girl crouched down and gently said, "Come on, Mimi. Milk."
