[Hokage] Terukawa

When Kakashi's words fell to the ground, Liao Liao's few words could be said to be resounding, but what followed was not a new round of discussion and sorting out, but a long and unbearable silence.

My whole body is in pain, and I don't have any extra energy to imagine... If Kakashi at that time hadn't been able to throw out that thousand copies quickly, what would we be like now.

Good thing...

Compared with us, Lin, who was lying on her back, had a peaceful and quiet face. Except for a pair of slightly frowning eyebrows and a few light scratches, her expression was no different from those of young girls who are used to resting in the afternoon. different.No one would have imagined that she had been controlled by the vicious people with the puppet talisman. Not long ago, like the most "cheap" and "loyal" dead soldier, she used a crumpled detonating talisman as a gateway to hell. A one-way ticket, trying to take one of Kakashiri and I to go to hell together, and leave the other person to face the collapse and explosion of the third person.

——This level of crooked brains, "spicy" is not enough to describe it, maybe "vicious" should be used.

I lowered my head and let out a long sigh, trying to exhale the depression that had been suffocated in my lungs for a long time—of course it failed.When my lungs began to throb, my inhalation process was not even in place, and I managed to barely avoid coughing, but even so, there was still a touch of warm fishy sweetness entangled in my chest during this process. Tongue base.

I asked, "What about the stake?"

Kakashi shook his head: "There is no clue."

"If it's not some strange family secret art, it might be something like Blood Succession," I said, "The Kingdom of Water has many weird secret arts and Blood Succession."

"How do you know?" He glanced up at me.

I responded with a smirk: "I was born in the land of water."

"But the stake has nothing to do with our mission, so there's no need to get too tangled up," Kakashi said, "and even if there are any weird blood successors, they will never be Mutun. The blood successor of the Shu clan, and the only recorded person who successfully awakened Mu Dun in history is Senju Hashirama, who is the first generation of Konoha."

I wondered: "I knew that the first generation had Mu Dun's blood successor, but I didn't know there was only one Mu Dun."

"of course."

... I don't know what he is doing.

After a moment of silence, I said in a deep voice: "I will mention it in the mission report, and then I will leave it to the third generation to decide for themselves."

"Alright." Kakashi responded, and didn't argue with me any more on this topic, and the small shelter fell into a brief silence.

The medical ninjutsu in my hand has never stopped. Seeing that he stopped talking, I stopped talking, so as not to be distracted from the healing action, and there would be a risk of inaccurate accuracy if I didn't pay attention.

After half an hour.

"Your injury..."

I immediately understood what he meant - he must not be able to go far with one dragging two, which means that the distance between us and the central battlefield just now is not safe, and everything is a buffer strategy.Now that the task has been completed, it is time to gather and retreat.

Compared with Konoha's regular team, the team of Anbu members is more complex and flexible but also looser. It is common to split up and act separately during the execution of tasks. Therefore, determining a final assembly location before this can be said to be unique to the team. Habits of Anbu members.The meeting point for this mission was agreed upon by Shiori and I in a lush reed field—not far from the seal I shattered.Although the terrain of that place is complicated, it is better than that there are reeds and grass covering it everywhere, which is not only good for hiding, if there are people hidden in the fog to check the broken seal, it will definitely be an excellent place for ambushes.

"Let's go." The slight dizziness caused by the blood loss entangled my senses, but it was undoubtedly more than twice as good as before the rest. I slowly stood up, "Take you to our meeting place."

Perhaps it was the reason that Sanwei disappeared for no apparent reason. When Kakashi and I moved away from the coast properly, most of the heavy rain and fog that had been covering the sky like a cage earlier had faded away.Perhaps I was preconceived and used to the gray everything, only after all the dark and heavy clouds dispersed, I was surprised to find that it was already approaching dusk.

The sun is setting in the west, and at dusk, it is rendered with a layer of flame-like filter color. The flame-colored sunlight is like an invisible tulle and like flowing water that cannot be held, easily covering and covering a large area of ​​reeds.The long stalks and tassels of the reeds are swaying in the slightly cold lake wind. The warm light of the sunset makes them look like spreading flames, and the sound of being surrounded by each other makes them sound like soft murmurs. waves.

I was briefly amazed by this scenery, but I had no time to appreciate more.This scene suddenly made me realize a serious problem - such a gorgeous sky light, but the abnormal rain and fog that appeared with the three tails can cover it to the point where it is difficult to detect, this effect is obviously far beyond The effect of ordinary rain and fog... Should it be said that birds of a feather really flock together?

And when I was unconscious, it seemed to be just after noon—about two or three o'clock in the afternoon. However, the current time... It is true that it gets dark early in late autumn, but it can't be earlier than five o'clock. This...

Have I been in a coma for so long? ?

"'Have I been in a coma for so long'?"

Suddenly, Kakashi who was following behind me falsely learned a sentence, his tone and articulation were extremely mocking and gnashed his teeth.This successfully aroused part of my anger - just hearing this sentence, I have already seen his expression of rolling his eyes and talking nonsense.Reason tells me that this level of childish behavior is really not what he would do, but he did say it-so it doesn't stop me from getting angry.

I looked back at him with a cold face, but unexpectedly found something unstable besides sarcasm flickering in his eyes.I had a hunch that he was about to say something - but he just let out a short "hum" and went off to fight Lynn's short hair hanging from his back.

... What are you doing?Is there anything you can't say directly?If you want to taunt, just taunt directly. As we all know, taunting is the bridge of communication between Yasaka Terukawa and Hatake Kakashi.

Kakashi's avoidance made me quite puzzled, but it seems that it is not the time to talk... After all, the meeting place is coming soon, and it will not be too late to talk when we get there to rest.

Following the simple chakra marks left before, I walked through the lush reeds at a constant speed, and Kakashi was closely behind me.The reeds as tall as a person are swaying above our heads, and there is no good foothold on the soft mud, but my heavy mood has been wonderfully relaxed between the faint fragrance of the reeds. My hands Pushing aside the tall and long reed stalks one by one - this has been my joy since I was a child. Whenever I do this, the golden-red sun will come through this widening gap and fall on my face. In front of my eyes, it seems that as long as I walk through this newly opened gap, I can reach a brighter and warmer new world.

"My mask is broken, and most of them don't know you, so when we meet again, they are likely to show a certain tendency to attack," I explained to Kakashi, "Hold yourself , just leave the explanation to me.”

He frowned slightly: "I can recognize your mask, but not your face? This is too..."

"This is one of the most basic rules of Anbu. The essence is to provide effective protection for both parties. Sometimes—or most of the time, the less people know, the safer."

Although the mouth was talking, the movement of the hands did not stop.I patiently turned over the pebbles around me one by one, and finally found a strangely shaped "X" mark under a certain stone. Bleeding lips.

...and here it is.

If I'm lucky, maybe I'll see everyone else waiting here.I should exchange detailed information with Shiori. They must have done other things. Auxiliary analysis from the side will definitely make our inferences closer to the original appearance of the matter.

I clapped my palms and stood up, leaning towards the direction indicated by the "X", pushing away the layers of reeds blocking my view, and a small field that miraculously did not become a swamp appeared in my field of vision—I You can even see the contours of their bodies lying down and resting.

what……

I squinted my eyes, and after standing still for a while, I turned my head and smiled at Kakashi under his gradually cold gaze, and said, "Just follow me closely."

Then I didn't pay attention to him any more, and walked towards the gathering place.

step.

The surroundings are quiet—the river water is rippling in the breeze, the reeds are swaying slightly, and the soft sound of "rustling" spreads all over the place, which can be heard endlessly—but all this is still quiet, quiet, and peaceful.I put a suitable thin layer of chakra on the soles of my feet, which effectively isolates the soles of my feet from the muddy water, allowing me to walk silently in this small muddy swamp and come and go freely.

two steps.

My gaze was fixed uncontrollably on the contours of those lying down and resting bodies.That damn detonating talisman obviously hasn't let go of my eyes, and some gorgeous and strange lights and shadows remain on my retina—followed by a vague but continuous phantom pain, my heart feels so dizzy It has become abnormal, its contraction and swelling became faster and heavier at an unknown time, which makes the blood rushing to my blood vessels, and also knocking on my veins eardrum.

Three steps.

I still can't take my eyes off them.

But I can already think of something else, like—

I?Or Kakashi?

Four steps.

I don't think about anything anymore.A growing killing intent filled my heart.

landing.Step on the ground.work hard.

A perfect front flip on the ground.The sky and the ground were turned upside down and reset in an instant in my field of vision, and my hand also completed 21 seals in an instant when my body curled up—this is obviously not an easy task for a hand with a broken bone thing, but I think it's worth it.

--This is worth it.

Everything seemed so slow to me, but things happened so quickly that I was caught off guard.

I hate it so much when things get out of control, and the surprise and rage that came from being caught off guard is enough to kill all the joy in my return to the meeting point.

Hitting the ground with the palm of your hand——

Earth escape, the earth is silent.

Isn't the trap set up just to make me come forward in a panic?Good one please enter the urn!I am here, but since I am here, you have to hand over the initiative to me!

The river bed vibrated and mist flew across.Dry sandbars become muddy and wet, and clear inlets become restless and turbid.

"get out."

At a certain moment, a dark shadow flashed out from the reeds obliquely in front.I leaned back with my whole body, rotated a side kick around my waist, hit the target, and kicked that thing far away.

The thing landed on the ground and got up, but didn't take the next step immediately, but stood up straight in a leisurely manner, and let out a piercing and shrill laugh.

Because of this, I was attracted by it...she attracted my attention, and the first thing I saw was a cool gray uniform, which I am very familiar with, after all, I am also wearing this set now. ?

Looking at it again, I can no longer look away, and I can no longer take a step.

It was like being suddenly splashed with a bucket of ice water... The blood all over my body turned cold at this moment, and my bones and joints were covered with frost.

What a familiar face.

Shiori, can you tell me what happened to that half of your pale face?
