"Mom, whose monument is this? Why does everyone respect him so much?"
"It's for Uchiha Yoru, the hero of the Shinobi World. He saved everyone in the Shinobi World all by himself!"
"That's why you'll find monuments like this in every Shinobi Village and many other places, so we can remember him!"
"I want to follow his example and become a great Ninja someday!"
"That's the spirit!"
A woman gently rubbed the girl's head.
The woman took the child home.
"Mom Hinata, Mom Kurotsuchi, I'm back! Is Dad still asleep?"
"I think so!"
A red-haired woman came out and answered with a helpless smile.
"I went to see the monument to Uchiha Yoru, the hero of the Shinobi World, today. He's so handsome! Nothing like my lazy dad, who does nothing but eat. I want to be a great Ninja like him someday!"
"Uh..."
Everyone's expressions turned a little strange.
"Is dinner ready?"
A man rubbed his eyes and stretched.
"Ah!"
"Dad, why do you look so much like Uchiha Yoru, the hero of the Shinobi World?"
"No way. How could I be him? I just happen to look like him. He's so handsome, dashing, noble, and virtuous..." And so the praise went on for another five thousand words.
"True. The hero of the Shinobi World wouldn't be like you!"
"Did you forget what time you promised to meet them?" Karin asked helplessly.
"Relax. The star always makes his entrance last! Let's eat first. What's good today? Let me see!"
"Madara, do you think he'll come?"
"That brat's gotten too used to his comfortable life. I'm worried he's grown weaker!"
"Madara, isn't that going too far? Don't forget, even together, we couldn't beat him in that battle three years ago!"
Madara Uchiha turned his head away in a huff.
