Hokage Izumi Nana, don't run!

During the Warring States Period, the ninja world was in turmoil. If there was any slight disturbance, the whole people would immediately know about it.

The incident where Hagoromo ambushed Senju Uchiha and stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice soon became a topic of conversation among the ninja clan after dinner. As the tragic scene of the scene was publicized, the name of the sword ninja Senju Minama in white became famous in the ninja world. .

To actually push a little Jijun who never hurt anyone to this point, I wonder how much evil Haoyi has done. Of course, as expected, this incident angered the Senju and Uchiha at the same time. For the first time, the two always hostile clans put aside their grudges and, led by the heads of each family, declared war on the Hagoromo clan at the same time.

Winter was originally a truce period for all races to recuperate, but Hagoromo, known as one of the three major ninja clans, completely announced that it would withdraw from the stage of history this winter, ending dismally.

From then on, everyone in the ninja world knew that the Senju only had Uchiha in their eyes, and the Uchiha only had the Senju in their eyes. Even if the two clans fought to the death, they would not allow others to sow discord or interfere.

The vigorous campaign continued until the end of winter. Because Mizama had eliminated some of its strongest combat forces, causing Hagoromo's vitality to be severely damaged, the entire expedition went very smoothly, so much so that some young people from the two tribes who originally disliked each other formed a friendship.

Senju Hashirama liked what he heard and happily pestered his friends all day long, which made Tobirama angry and Izuna jumped, but there was nothing he could do about it.

When the battle was about to end, the two clans began to return from Hagoromo's station one after another. After applying for permission, Izuna often rubbed his eyes and was lost in thought.

Madara saw this, and after returning to the Uchiha clan, he casually asked: "Izuna, are you worried about her?"

"Why should I worry about her? Senju and Uchiha are mortal enemies!"

Madara raised his head, somewhat dumbfounded: "...I haven't said who it is yet!"

Quanna: "..."

Brother Ban, why are you trying to trick me?

Quan Nai stared at her brother who was smiling a little narrowly, a hint of grievance vaguely escaping from her beautiful cat eyes.

Madara laughed out loud, knelt down next to Izuna, and gently followed his brother's soft braid: "You care about Senju Mizuma very much."

It's an affirmative sentence. Izuna puffed up her cheeks and did not refute.

"Don't worry, she's fine, she's just in retreat."

It's okay...it's okay.

Feeling the warm aura of her brother as always, Quan Nai adjusted her sitting position uncomfortably, folded her knees and arms, and put her hands into fists in front of her, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Brother Madara, after spring starts, will the Senju and Uchiha fight again?"

"……Um."

"your eyes……"

"Don't worry about me, Izumi, I have a solution." Madara's tone was very light, as if he didn't regard this as a problem.

He still continued the movements of his hands, comforting Quan Nai as he did when he was a child. His movements seemed to say: With my brother here, there is nothing to worry about.

Quan Nai slowly relaxed her body, her fingers unconsciously scratching the calluses on her palms.

He recalled being held in his father's arms and watching his eldest brother being laid to death when he was a child. He was led by his third and fourth brothers to climb trees and tread water when he first joined the clan. When he was a child, he was taught the fire escape ninjutsu step by step by Madara.

Unconsciously, he and Brother Ban have grown up and reached the marriageable age. Although they have been urged repeatedly by the elders, there is still no sign of a woman in the patriarch's house.

Occasionally when he dreamed back at midnight, he would see a burst of bright colors suddenly bursting into this simple and silent mansion, and her laughter and laughter were everywhere. But when I woke up from the dream, there was only a little bit of warmth left in the quilt.

And having received ninja training since childhood, he has never been a child who stayed in bed.

With the dancing candlelight dimly reflected in her black eyes, Quan Nai said softly: "Brother Madara, I am your brother."

"Ah."

"Also the second leader of Uchiha."

"Ah."

"I promise, I will never become a burden to the Uchiha."

Madara paused and didn't answer.

After a long time, he gently patted Quan Nai on the back: "It's very late, go to bed early."

After that, he stood up and opened the door. The tall figure blocked the cold wind outside the door. The cold wind blew away the hot breath of the man's breath, but sent a faint coda to Quan Nai's ears.

"Go and see her if you want."

Quan Nai was startled. The door slowly closed, but it was not closed firmly. In the small crack in the door, the thick snow accumulated on the branches could be vaguely seen.

He actually met her.

When chasing Hagoromo Takuo, Senju Minama appeared, obviously recovering from serious injuries and mentally unstable. She helped him take down Hagoromo Takuo's head, but he was almost plotted by the black mud. Senju Anri found him in time afterwards, and she never showed up again in the later work.

Really... are you okay?

When Mizama opened the door again, she saw everything covered in silver. She walked into the corridor, opened her arms, took a breath of fresh and cold air, and felt refreshed.

"Mizama!" A big golden retriever came out of the end of the corridor, rushed to her and hugged her into his arms. His voice was full of undisguised surprise, "You are finally out of seclusion!"

"How are you doing? Are there any other health problems? Are you feeling better..."

"Brother!" Mizuma reluctantly broke out of Hashirama's arms and interrupted his thoughts, "I'm no longer a child!"

"But you are still my sister!"

"Okay, big brother, you're not young anymore!" Tobirama, who was holding his arms, scolded him lightly, then turned to Minama and lowered his voice, "Mizurama, welcome out of seclusion!"

"Mizama, how do you feel?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm stronger than before!" Mizama flicked his ponytail confidently, "I can fight without my eyes now!"

"Little aunt, what does it mean to fight without eyes?"

Minama squatted down, smiled and scratched Maki's little nose: "It means that my aunt can now fight with her eyes closed, and she will never be controlled by illusions again!" And the inner demon has been completely resolved!

"Really?" Zhenshu's eyes widened. Is this still possible?

"Mizama, are you serious?"

"Of course!" Shuijian tapped the hilt of his sword and pointedly said, "How about it, big brother and second brother, do you want to try me?"

In the end, it was Tobirama who reacted first from the shock: "Okay, let's go to the practice ground!"

The heavy snow has become as smooth as a mirror after constant trampling, but the two brothers and sisters in the training field are not affected at all. Ninjutsu and kunai fly together, and the sword light shines with the snow light. After a hearty battle, Mizama pulled off the blindfold with one hand and tilted his head happily: "Second brother, I won, right?"

The defeated Tobirama raised a hand helplessly: "I admit defeat."

"Good! Wonderful!" Hashirama took the lead in applauding.

Xiao Zhenshu walked around Mizama with eyes full of admiration: "Auntie is so awesome! How did you do it? Can you teach me?"

Mito Xu gave Tobirama a hand: "Tobirama has been too tired from his recent experiments, so it can't be considered a complete failure."

"Is the second brother experimenting again?"

"Well," Tobirama patted Canxue on his body, "About the time and space ninjutsu."

"Time and space?" Shuijian opened his mouth in surprise, and suddenly thought of something weak to say, "It can't be used to catch me..."

Tobirama said meaningfully: "You are quite self-aware." You were able to sneak out with just enough injuries, and you were the first to be bold.

Shuijian: "..."

Hashirama laughed loudly: "Mizuma, when Tobirama succeeds, you may not be able to beat him again!"

"...I think the second brother must be the first to use it on the eldest brother," Mizurama turned to Hashirama, "for example, gambling or drinking!"

"Eh?"

"Mizuma is right, so brother, it's better for you to handle family affairs obediently."

"Tobirama qaq!"

The fun ended here. At nightfall, Mizama stood in front of the window, quietly facing the vast and silent night sky.

I haven't been out for a long time.

During dinner, Minama learned from his brothers that the Hagoromo clan had been completely wiped out. The Senju and Uchiha had a tacit understanding of cooperation, but after the heavy snow melted, the two clans would once again be on the same battlefield.

There are no years in the mountains, but thousands of years have passed in the world.

This time of retreat took an entire winter. Shuijian solved the problem of two lifetimes of dormancy, and his strength will surely rise steadily in the future. Just coming out of seclusion again, time has changed.

On a larger scale, it's a change in the structure of the ninja world. On a smaller scale, it's the human heart, emotions, and a smile in tiny details.

Obviously, most people don't want to fight this fight.

Mizama suddenly felt that she hadn't seen Izuna for a long time. She often didn't see her for half a year before, but maybe it was because she was immersed in spiritual consciousness in the past few months that she couldn't feel the flow of time. After discovering the changes brought about by time, , but it feels very unreal.

Only her memory remains from a few months ago.

So Mizunama was a little eager to see the figure before the retreat, wondering if he was feeling better.

The single-celled warm-blooded creature has always been an activist. She climbed over the wall and jumped lightly in the forest. After a while, her sensitive hearing captured the sound of the rushing water of the Nanga River.

Izuna, who walked out of the house because of Madara's words, only realized when she arrived at Nanga River that she couldn't see the little white hair at all.

Let's not talk about whether she is out of seclusion. Even if she is out of seclusion, will he be able to break into the Thousand Hands Clan or will she run out without sleeping at night?

Reason told him that Senju Mizuma and he were not in tune with each other yet.

He couldn't help but feel that his behavior was a bit ridiculous. Could it be that he was infected by that little white hair? Although he was laughing at himself in his heart, he still chose to stay by the river.

For no other reason, in the Uchiha tribe, he has always been Uchiha Izuna. His surname is greater than his given name. He has to face too many things, from personal emotions to brotherhood to the rise and fall of the family. I have to say that these make him feel Heavy and unbearable.

But in the vast nature, in the dark night, he can shed all disguises and return to Quan Nai, releasing his suppressed emotions to his heart's content. The rushing water of Nanga River is not noisy at all, it just makes people feel calm. It seems like all the worries can disappear with the water.

So Quan Nai stood quietly by the river, looking at the path on the other side of the river leading to the Senju clan's land.

In fact, his eyesight has deteriorated very much. In order to avenge his shame in the first battle of Hagoromo, Susanoo made everyone frightened more than once. After a lot of expenditure, he can only see the dark snow scene clearly now. The ice and snow are half melted, and some stones and branches are vaguely exposed, just like dots of black in the pure white world, which makes the composition more harmonious.

Suddenly, it seemed as if a ball of bright snow rolled out of the dark path. Gululu rolled towards Nanhe River very fast, and stopped the car just as he was about to fall into the water.

Quan Nai blinked, and then he saw clearly that it was a person opposite him. He was dressed in white from beginning to end, so he shouldn't be too unrecognizable. However, Quan Nai did not recognize it with his own eyes, but the man waved his hands cheerfully before Quan Nai could react and issued a long-lost call:

"Izumi Nana!"
