[Comprehensive] Mirror of Death and Life

"If you ask me this way, if I answer that I am so strong, am I suspected of boasting?" I smiled, and wiped the bangs that hung down and stuck to my forehead to the back of my head, and the splash of water smelled like sulfur.

Unexpectedly, Hui also came to join in the fun, put his hands on my shoulders, and said proudly to Chiki Hyuga: "Of course, Kagami is also a first-class genius among us Uchiha, this guy is like a monster."

I hit him and told him to shut up, but he mistook it for an attack, and the two of them started fighting in the hot spring pool, making the pool water rattle loudly.

Hinata Chiki didn't seem to have seen the fight between the two of us, and was still frowning.Since I saw him, I have never seen him smile. He always looks bitter and bitter. When he is resting, he is also frowning and meditating. He rarely talks to others.Their Hyuga Clan seems to be following this style, including their patriarch Hinata Chino. Compared with Uchiha Makoto's high-spiritedness, he is almost like an old man in his twilight years, and he seems to be carrying a lot of things that cannot be burdened.

Looking back later, I was still too young at that time, everyone has their own burdens, the difference is whether I realized it or not, Hinata Chiki had already realized his future fate at that age, and I was still like a fool He was laughing and joking all day long.

When he came out of the hot spring, the skin on his body was soaked red, the pads of his fingers were white and wrinkled, and most of his fatigue was gone.Walking in the wooden corridor with a towel in hand, it should be getting late, the lights in several rooms passed by have been extinguished, and the patrolling clansmen on the road signaled me to go back to the room to rest.As I was walking, I saw a person standing at the corner with a wooden basin in his arms. The dark figure did not see through the starlight until it was a bud branch when he got closer.

She also seemed to have just come out of the hot spring, her coiled long hair was wet, a few strands stuck to her fair cheeks, and she was wearing a pink lady's bathrobe of the same style as mine. When she saw me bending her eyes and smiling, she asked in a low voice: "How are you doing?"

I also lowered my voice and answered her: "We chatted for a while, how are you doing?"

I haven't seen her since the day's attack, don't know if she's hurt or not.

Yazhi lifted up his sleeve to show me a new wound on his arm. I saw that the wound was long but not deep, so I felt relieved: "Aren't you going to rest? You have to get up very early tomorrow to hurry."

She put down her sleeves, her body remained motionless, her eyes were full of concern: "What about you? Are you all right?"

I smiled: "What can I do, don't worry. Go back to sleep."

Yazhi's footsteps still did not move, she looked up at me for a long time, then suddenly stepped forward and stood on tiptoe.

I just felt a heat on my cheeks, she had already backed away, smiled shyly at me, turned and ran away.After running for a few steps, I remembered something and stopped and turned around, with a blush still remaining on my face: "Jing, good night."

I watched her back disappear into the darkness, but unexpectedly thought of the little fox.

Early the next morning, the convoy was back on the road.The sky is not yet fully bright, the sun has not risen, and there are a few stars left in the dark gray-blue sky.The weeds on the side of the road are covered with dew, and the cold wind blowing makes people feel that autumn is indeed here. At this time, putting on a cloak is finally not as muggy as it was at the beginning.

The Country of Tang is indeed not big, so we took the time to catch up on the road for a day, and arrived at the entrance of Jiaming Valley in the evening. The person in charge of the team hoped that the sooner we could get to the Country of Thunder, the better, so he urged us to pass through this valley at night. Rest again.Uchiha Makoto and Hyuga Chino proposed that it was not safe to walk in such a long and narrow valley at night, but the nobleman stopped him with one sentence: "Otherwise, why did you specially invite you Uchiha and Hyuga clan to come here? If it is not safe, we have to go too, princess Your Highness's wedding cannot be delayed!"

That being said, you were the one who ordered you to stay in the hot spring for a whole night before.Everyone exchanged a look, and finally obeyed the lord's order.

The valley runs north-south, and the towering cliffs on both sides of the road block the little sunset sunlight. This long and narrow road is indeed very narrow. In the wide part, seven people can walk side by side, but in the narrow part, only It can accommodate an ox cart to pass through. If there is an enemy attack in this kind of place, it is not easy to defend.Moreover, the road is covered with large and small stones, all of which have rolled down from the mountains on both sides. It is really troublesome to keep an eye on the top of your head once you fight.

At this point, we can no longer see the grasslands that could be seen everywhere in Tango Country before, only a few sporadic weeds emerged from the cracks in the rocks.The mountains on both sides seem to be split by a giant knife, the section is [-] degrees, steep and steep, and no green plants grow.At the foot is the most primitive loess road, which bends and extends to the end of the eye. The whole field of vision is only desolate yellow and even more desolate gray. The motorcade after driving for a day is also very tired, no one speaks, and the valley seems dead silent.

"Such a good location, very suitable for attack." Hui looked around while walking, "If I were the enemy, I would choose to sneak attack here."

Everyone knows this truth, but...

"Shut up." I said weakly, "Don't be crowed."

The idiot Teru Uchiha glanced at me and stopped talking, but his expression was obviously not convinced, and the words "even if I don't talk, this is the truth" were written all over his face.

As if to confirm his crow's mouth, a few stones rolled down from the top of his head, and many people raised their heads to observe in doubt, and Chiki Hyuga next to me even rolled his eyes.

It's just that after a while, there was no other movement except for small rolling stones here and there, not even the wind, and the surrounding area was quiet.

I couldn't help tensing my body, I had a certain intuition thinking that I was yelling for danger, and seeing other people reacting like me, I couldn't help but feel a sinking heart.Ninjas have been honed through countless missions, and have walked on the edge of life and death many times. The keen intuition trained in this way is often more useful than the blood succession limit.

It seemed to be calm now, no one dared to let go of their guard, and some even took out their weapons directly. In this case, only the nobles in the bullock cart didn't know why.Feeling the unusual atmosphere, the team leader couldn't help but lifted the curtain and poked his head out loudly, "What's wrong? What happened! Uchiha Makoto, Hyuga Chino?"

idiot!

I cursed secretly.

In the next second, the slowly rolling stones immediately became denser, rumbling sounds came from the top of the head, the mountain was shaking faintly, and a layer of mist quietly rose from under the feet at some unknown time.

The fog became thicker and thicker, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding area was milky white. In the whiteness in all directions, many huge stones fell from the sky and crashed down.

I drew my knife and split a boulder, and I jumped to the side, only to find that Kagumi and Chiki Hyuga, who were close at hand, were gone, but the white mist that flowed in wisps had a tendency to go further.

In the mist, only the crisp sound of screams and weapons colliding could be heard from the front and rear. No one shouted. I don't know if they were out of time or they were killed just before they shouted.

This kind of fog, this kind of assassination method, I clenched the knife in my hand, and went back to the mission where Uncle Shi and Captain Zhizhi sacrificed nine years ago.

Turning around suddenly, swinging the knife, with a clang, the knife was blocked.

The white mist behind him spread out like a frightened herd of beasts, revealing the wrapped figure behind.

Messy black long hair, wolf-like gray eyes, and a black mask covering the lower part of his face. Even so, I could vaguely see most of the scorched skin on this person's face through his bangs.

"Long time no see." The voice was hoarse like a night owl, and it was like the sound of sandpaper rubbing.

Asagiri clan.

The flames of hatred swelled from the bottom of his heart, and he exerted force on his hand, forcing the enemy to take several steps back.

I remembered who he was, the dwarf who claimed to gouge my eyes out for money.It turned out that he was responsible for the chasing soldiers after that mission. I should have checked it carefully at the time, but I didn't expect that he was lucky enough to survive being swallowed by the fire tunnel, most of his body was scorched.

What is this man's name?

The other party seemed to see what I was thinking, and smiled lowly: "I will kill you here."

After speaking, he rushed over, not a little bit faster than when he was a child.

However, I am not a child anymore.Opening Sharingan, I went up to it without hesitation, holding a knife.

After a few rounds, we backed away again. Both sides had a general understanding of each other's strength. He was faster than me, but I had Sharingan to see through his movements and find flaws.My ninjutsu reserves are larger than his, but because of the supply of Sharingan, the amount of Chakra is even more stretched.Generally speaking, when they fought just now, they were evenly matched, and no one could hurt anyone.

Chaogiri stared at my eyes and said, "You really deserve to be Sharingan." There was blatant greed in the words.

At this moment, I found that his whole body was twisted, like a reflection in the water. Before I could figure out what was going on, this guy who was a head shorter than me charged up again.

Dodging the attack sideways, the blade has the upper wind attribute of Chakra, and the light blue blade grows forward suddenly. In the world where the Sharingan slows down, there is a flaw in the moment when Chao Wuwu raised his hand.

--there!

Without thinking about it, I stabbed him in the stomach with my backhand.

However, he didn't expect that the strength was lost, and the tip of the knife passed through his abdomen, as if piercing a cloud of air.

I watched helplessly as the black tights-covered torso disintegrated into a cloud of dark smoke, and solidified again in the next second.Not only did my attack fail, but the opponent found an opportunity to attack because of this, I had no choice but to seal myself and put a fire escape to cover myself, and backed away.

Zhao Wuwu was chasing after him, and the situation at this moment was completely opposite to before, and I was forced to retreat again and again by him.Any part of his body can be turned into smoke like before. Not only physical attacks are ineffective, but even ninjutsu cannot be attacked.The wind tunnel can't be blown away, and the fire tunnel can't be burned. Even if I use a large area of ​​range ninjutsu, he can atomize the whole person, avoid the attack and directly perch on the body.I thought of the captain's warning many years ago, and quickly held my breath, never inhaling the suspicious dark mist.
