People are in Konoha, the start level is full

Ninjas are all mortals, and they may die if they step on the trap of the detonating charm or are hit in the vital part by a hidden weapon.

However, the target base supported this time was staffed with ninjas from the Hyuga family.

After the support mission is over, according to the instructions of the Sandaime Hokage, they will rush to the frontline command headquarters to gather, where there are more Hyuga ninjas.

As long as you have Byakugan's detection ability, you don't have to worry about traps and hidden weapons.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru felt slightly relieved.

"After arriving at the command headquarters, I will gather with Tsunade and Jiraiya for action. When the time comes, send a white-eyed chuunin to take Nezuki and the others."

……

"What is this place?"

Shengshu scratched his head and looked at the surrounding gloomy woods with a blank expression.

He only remembered that he followed the others and marched all the way. It was not until night fell that he and the others found an open space suitable for camping and resting.

But I don’t know why I came to this strange forest.

Unable to figure it out, Shengshu looked around, found a brighter direction and walked over.

"anyone there?"

He yelled.

But except for his own echo, there was deathly silence in the depths of the forest.

"Anyone?"

Shengshu muttered to himself, and was about to continue moving forward when he heard a "puff, puff, puff" sound coming from the darkness ahead.

"Ok?"

Shengshu's eyes widened slightly as he saw countless black crows flying out of the forest in overwhelming numbers, accompanied by cries of "quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack."

He quickly lowered his head and put his hands in front of him to defend himself.

These crows flew past him, and some even hit him directly, but they flew away without stopping.

It wasn't until the last crow flew away that the rope tree breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and looked at the backs of two scattered crows, feeling baffled.

"Snapped"

At this moment, someone suddenly tapped his shoulder, which startled him, and he quickly looked back.

It was a middle-aged man wearing a Konoha forehead protector and old-fashioned ninja armor.

"Rope tree." He called out as if he was very familiar.

"You...are you? Someone I know?"

Naoshu looked at the smiling middle-aged man with confusion. He felt that this man looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Seeing Naoshu frowning and thinking hard, the middle-aged man didn't show off and said with a smile: "Don't you remember? I am your grandfather."

"My grandpa?!"

Naoki was startled for a moment, then reacted immediately and refuted: "Nonsense, my grandfather is the First Hokage!"

"Haha, that's right."

The middle-aged man opposite smiled heartily and pointed at himself.

"Rose Tree, look at me carefully."

"Um……?"

Shengshu frowned and looked at the person opposite him carefully, and suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Huh? Really, you look very similar to Yan Yanshang's grandfather! No wonder I feel familiar when I see you. "

Seeing that Nasuki finally recognized him, the middle-aged man put his hands on his hips and smiled: "Haha, that's right, I am the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama."

"It's really grandpa."

Naoshu scratched his hair and showed a relieved expression, seemingly not remembering that his grandfather had died long ago.

Even he himself has never met his grandfather.

"You should still be worried about how to leave this forest, Rope Tree." Senju Hashirama asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I don't know how I ended up here, and I don't know which direction to go out from."

Shengshu sighed and said helplessly. Then his eyes lit up and he suddenly realized: "Grandpa, do you know how to go?"

"Of course I know. I'm here to take you away. Follow me."

Senju Hashirama nodded, lightly patted Noshu's shoulder, turned around and walked in one direction.

"Great, then all I have to do is follow grandpa." Shengshu followed with peace of mind.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the surroundings were still densely packed with unchanged trees.

Shengshu felt a little tired. He lowered his head and held his knees to catch his breath and asked, "Grandpa, haven't you arrived yet?"

"Come on, come on."

Senju Hashirama didn't even look back, leading the way.

Shen Shu felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it. After taking a short rest, he quickly followed.

After a while, the trees became sparse, and in front stood cliffs of mountains as high as the sky.

"Is there no way ahead?"

Walking to the stone wall, Shen Shu scratched his hair and murmured to himself.

However, as he finished speaking, a huge black hole suddenly appeared on the stone wall.

"Ahem? Why did a cave suddenly appear?"

He pointed forward and asked in disbelief.

"Yomi Hirazan is always there, but it cannot be seen by living people."

Senju Hashirama turned his head and showed a mysterious smile.

"What...what do you mean?" Shengshu had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Don't you understand yet?"

Senju Hashirama sighed helplessly, turned around completely, and looked at the rope tree.

Half of his side face was also completely exposed to Rope Tree's view.

It was half a face with rotting flesh and blood, exposed bones, and maggots twisting back and forth in the eye sockets.

But such a face is still smiling heartily.

"You were born in the wrong era... Rope Tree. You are the same as me, so now it is up to me to guide you back to where you should go."

Shengshu's whole body was trembling slightly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help but fall back.

Senju Hashirama didn't care about his little movements, his tone gradually turned cold, and he said calmly:

"There's no point in escaping, Rope Tree. You... are already dead!"

……

In the camp where Konoha ninjas are stationed.

Shengshu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in shock.

"What was that just now?"

His head was covered in cold sweat. After wiping his forehead randomly, he carefully recalled the details of the dream just now.

He hadn't felt much in the dream before, but after recalling the details, Shengshu felt even more frightened when he thought about it, his hands and feet were cold, and a chill suddenly came over him.

"I...I, why would I have such a dream?"

He turned around and looked around, seeing Kurama Yan and Uchiha Mikoto sleeping in their sleeping bags.

"Fortunately, they are here..."

Seeing these two familiar teammates, Rooshu breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that in this mysterious atmosphere, staying with familiar people is the most reassuring.

Especially, he occupied the middle position in advance before going to bed tonight, with his guardians on both sides.

This will give you more peace of mind.

"What's wrong with you, Rope Tree?"

At this time, Uchiha Mikoto slowly woke up, rubbed her eyes and looked at the rope tree sitting there blankly.

"Ok?"

Kurama Yan was also awakened. Since he was not wearing glasses, he could only see a blurry figure sitting next to him in the darkness.

"No...all right?"

Shengshu quickly got into his sleeping bag and said with a smile: "I just had a nightmare."

"Nightmare..."

When Kurama Yan heard this answer, he didn't care, turned around and continued to sleep.

"It's childish for such a big person to still have nightmares."

Uchiha Mikoto was also speechless, and then she felt extremely sleepy, and she turned around and continued to sleep.

She was still vaguely distressed, as Naoshu always woke up inexplicably in the middle of the night, and it was no longer convenient for her to continue her exercises.
