6 Kyoshi Island

Madara was escorted to an abandoned shack beside the Kyoshi Warrior's training dojo, once he got settled down, he asked if they could give him some food,water and some clean clothes, he promised that he would pay it back with labor the next day if possible.

Kira, the leader of the Kyoshi Warriors appointed one of the other 9 under her command to stay outside his door for the night, they made no efforts on hiding from Madara that he would be under heavy surveillance, and all he did was shrug.

'Hey I was expecting being chased out of here under a rain of rocks, arrows and cabbages… not only I got a free place to sleep, I got some food and water and even a 'bodyguard' to watch my back while I sleep… from where I came from, this can be considered the best treatment I've ever received!'

As all the other nine left, the one staying behind approached Madara, she had long black hair tied on a high ponytail, with bangs covering half of one of her sharp silver-colored eyes, she was average height, 5'5, and had a slim well-proportioned body with slightly thick lips. If she had black eyes instead of silver she would look like a proper Uchiha, if she didn't have that thick face-painting on.

"Let's introduce ourselves, I am Madara, what's your name?" asked Madara.

She kept staring at him for a few seconds with an emotionless gaze before answer

"You may call me Fei Lan, I will be responsible for keeping an eye on you for the time being."

"Oh, Fei Lan, lovely nam-"

He got instantly interrupted by her.

"I'm not here to befriend you, no one here wants to befriend you, I'm just here to do my job so as long as you don't do anything suspicious you won't be seeing each other once this little introduction is over."

Madara stared at her in silence with a deadpan expression.

"Aren't you rude? I was about to invite you to sit on that chair over there so you could be comfortable…"

She turned around and walked towards the door "I will stay outside; you don't have to worry about me."

"But outside is-"

He got interrupted again, he is getting really pissed by her rudeness right now.

"It seems being subtle won't work with you, so let me say this straight then, there's nothing in this world that would make me accept staying inside this place just so I can watch you for the night, don't overestimate yourself, boy."

And just like that, without even waiting for a reply, she walked outside of the house and closed it with a loud bang.

"What rude little bitch this one…" He muttered to himself. 'Are all the Kyoshi Warriors this bitchy, or is her period today? I might have to consider leaving here sooner… it's just not worth it'

He sat down on the chair and started considering his next moves.

'I need to find a good way to have a decent income, there's many utility items that I want to purchase that will make my time in the Southern Air Temple way more comfortable... I also will need a ship to carry things around... tsk... I obviously won't be buying one... its war time and Fire Nation ships are all over the place, I believe no one will miss one hehe…'

He tapped his finger on the table and continued.

'I will also need more clothes, many clothes to last me for at least five years... getting my armor forged would be great but its not needed right now, I am still growing, I don't want to waste money on something that I will have to wait a decade to use or something that I will throw away in a year because it doesn't fit me anymore...'

He Stood up and started walking in circles. 'I also need to figure out how to activate the sharingan, the method that came with my memories is not working for some reason, is it related to my age? As i expected… the sharingan here is completely different than in Naruto world, there's no emotions involved and it seems that is related to my chi pool but I'm not sure of the specifics… and there's also the method for opening my chakras...'

And like that Madara spent hours planning and making mental notes to future possibilities until he started to feel sleepy and exhausted, deciding to call it a day he walked towards his bed.

As he was removing his dirty black robes, picking up some ugly beige hemp clothes that the girls so graciously gave him. 'These look like fucking jail clothes…' shaking his head he wore his hemp pants, when he was about to grab the top, he heard an incredibly loud thunder sound echoing through the island.

What followed was a sound of heavy rain, it was the beginning of the winter after all, Kyoshi Island could be considered to be located on a 'tropical zone' of this planet with no snow in sight and rain during this time of the year was very common.

He walked close to one of the windows by the door and looked outside to see the figure of a soaked Kyoshi Warrior, with ruined and messy face-painting and hair, under the heavy rain with no cover on sight;

"Would you look at that…"

He kept staring at her for a while and could clearly tell that her intense glare was on him, those were not the eyes of someone that was just watching, that gaze was basically telling him subtlety 'Open the door!'.

He looked around and saw a deserted road, no one in sight, just pure darkness with a few sparkles of candle light here and there coming from inside a few buildings nearby.

"Sadly... I heard that being subtle doesn't seem to work well with me…"

He closed the curtains, locked the door and laid down on the old bed, covered himself with a thick blanket and closed his eyes.

"What a shame..."

And just like that, he fell asleep and enjoying a long night of sleep and the comfiest place he ever slept on since he came to this world.

On the next day Madara woke up to soft bird sounds on the distance, he never slept so well! His body was so relaxed that he didn't even want to get up from bed, that was until knock sounds came from the door.

He rubbed his eyes and stood up, walking towards the door and unlocking it just encounter the leader of the Kyoshi Warriors in front of his door.

"Good morning..." he said with a sleepy voice and a happy smile.

"It seems you rested well during the storm last night" said the Kyoshi Warrior.

"What can I say? rain sounds are cozy and makes me really sleepy, was a great night! Where is Fei Lan by the way?"

"She is at the healer's tent, she got really sick and have a nasty fever, I shall take up her job until she gets better, my name is Kira."

He displayed sadistic smirk that made Kira's green eye twitch. "Oh really? What a shame indeed…"

After that Madara left his shack and walked around the village, ignoring the dirty looks that everyone is giving him this place is very cozy, it resembles Japan's Edo period, if he remembers correctly, Kyoshi Island culture was heavily inspired by Japanese culture, their clothes, armors and even food, now that he thought about it... the Kyoshi Warriors does wield Katanas alongside their war fans.

The roads were made of dirt, which were obviously wet after a long rainy night with many puddles here and there, the buildings were very traditional, he noticed that there were many stones on top of the roof, he learned from Kira that it's a way to prevent the tiles from detaching and sent flying during heavy storms.

Their agriculture was mainly rice, as expected, and the people wore mainly kimonos and sandals, and it seems that during rainy weather they also have a thick coat of hay on their shoulders and carried the traditional Japanese hat, as known as kasa, on their back.

All in all this was a very peaceful society, it would be even better if it wasn't the dirty looks that everyone is giving him everywhere he goes, which it feels odd to him, yes they didn't like him, yes they had a hostile behavior towards him... but there's something more in those looks…

As they walk through the main road, with heavy blacksmith hammering sounds on the background mixed with charts being pulled left and right Madara can't handle it anymore and turns to Kira.

"What the hell is going on... why they are staring at me like that? I might be suspicious, I admit it, but why are they looking at me as if I destroyed their families?"

Kira was shocked by his question, and a helpless wry smile appeared on her beautiful face "Well you see… its... a bit complicated…" before she could explain any further a group of at least 10 kids, all around the ate of 5, some younger some a bit older, came running through the houses yelling at each other.

"YOU ARE A SPY!"

"IM NOT A SPY YOU FUCKING IDIOT!"

"IM NOT THE FUCKING IDIOT, YOU ARE THE FUCKING IDIOT!"

The kids kept playing and yelling at each other repeating the words they listened yesterday at the docks, and that's when it's clicked...

"Oh…." That was the only thing Madara could say.

"Yeah, I heard that they kept saying that since last night after your grand entrance at the docks." She answered him with a hidden amusement in her voice.

He could only stand still in shock, he didn't even consider the fact that there were very young and impressionable children on the docks yesterday, he clearly saw and heard them the moment he arrived... and still cursed like a sailor... what to say in a situation like this?

Taking a deep breath, he talked to himself "Way to go Madara, you achieved the impossible, made the paranoid Kyoshi people hate you even more... why not just shout that you are a firebender as well?"

Kira couldn't help anymore and started laugh "Yeah that would 100% make everyone hate you even more, I find it hard to even imagine that level of hatred."

"Our imagination is limited by our knowledge..."

"Very wise words… by the way, although I have a good sense of humor and laugh at it, don't even joke about being a firebender,"

Madara just nodded. "Yes... joke... of course..."
