[Comprehensive] Mirror of Death and Life

The running steps stopped, and the speed increased in the next second-I can't let Hagoromo Asako die here, if I can't even complete the first task when I just arrived at the front line, no one will listen to my command in the future.

"You two stop the pursuers behind," referring to the young man and the old man.

"You, follow me into the sea to save people." This you refer to children.

As the distance shortens, the reefs are getting closer and closer. It is easy to see a few black shadows in the bushes on the island jumping and galloping towards the beach. The other party is also running towards us. The final meeting point is Hagoromo The place.

I plunged into the water, because the visibility in the stormy sea has also dropped a lot, but unlike the rough sea, the water flows more smoothly as it goes down.The surroundings were quiet, with the occasional sound of silent running water passing by. Through the skylight above, one could see countless fine particles floating in the water.

In such an environment, I couldn't help but get nervous.Thanks to the fact that Weimingchuan is near the family land, I liked to go there when I was a child. I can swim well, but there is a difference between a river and an ocean.Sinking in the river, you know you won’t be able to swim to the shore for long, but in the sea, you seem to be in another world, silent and dark, with a light body, like... the world after death.

A silver light flashed in my sight, and I stopped my aimless search and stepped on the water at a faster pace. Not far from me, the child of the Yuyi tribe had already pulled out his Kunaiwei.

The silver light slowly fell, like a snowflake falling into the endless darkness below, luckily I caught her before it fell completely.

Yuyi Asako closed her eyes tightly, her face was pale, and there was a huge wound on her back, from which blood was continuously flowing into the sea water.I stretched out my hand and poked her neck—fortunately, she wasn’t dead yet, so I immediately hugged her with one hand and hurried upstream.

Seeing that the light was getting stronger and closer to the sea surface, a huge figure suddenly rushed straight from the front left - the shark's fishy white teeth were very conspicuous in the dark blue water, and a small body sprinted from behind me Come here, holding up Kunai and tensing your body, while gesturing for me to go first.

Without hesitation, I exerted strength on my legs, and as the oxygen in my lungs became less and less, I rose faster and faster. Finally, I broke through the barrier and breathed in the air with strong water vapor and fishy smell.

The raindrops hit my face, blurring my vision. I wiped my face with my free hand, and found that there was no one around, except for sea water and rain. I didn’t see anyone from the Asagiri clan or the Yuyi clan at all. Know how they are.

Arms tightened suddenly, I turned my head to look, and Yuromomoko coughed a few times and choked up a mouthful of water and opened his eyes.The emerald green pupils were extremely clear, she looked at me, her scattered gaze slowly gathered: "Uchiha... mirror?"

Then, she tilted her head and became dizzy again.

I didn't have time to say a word, so I had no choice but to silently close the mouth I just opened, jumped into the sea and put her on my back, identified the direction, and ran towards the shore.

Just when I was about to jump ashore, I felt a strong and dangerous aura lock on to me. This kind of trembling feeling was something I hadn't experienced in a long time. It made my hair stand on end and I immediately opened my Sharingan and looked back.

With improved eyesight, through the swaying rain curtain, I saw a person standing on the edge of the island looking at me, holding a child with silver hair in his hand.The other party seemed to realize that I noticed him, raised his hand and waved at me, as if to say hello to me, but the hand stopped halfway in the middle of the wave, and then slammed it down, and it was originally held in his hand The silver light jumped and fell to the ground.

— This is a demonstration.I don't know why that person didn't catch up with me, but just took my companion to demonstrate to me.

It's a pity that the Yuyi clan doesn't matter to me at all. Those three people followed with the idea of ​​sacrificing themselves in exchange for the young patriarch. Since they don't care about their own lives, why should I care.

Clenching my fists, I turned my head and ran towards the camp without hesitation, but my ninja instinct told me that the other party kept staring at me until I dodged into the bushes on the shore.

Back at the camp, the other Hagoromo people cheered when they saw Hagoromo Asako, and the medical ninja ran over to pick up the person on my back and took him into the tent to heal his wounds. No one can remember the three people who asked me to go, as if the three tribesmen have long been their default cannon fodder.

No, it's not as if, that's what it is.

The person in charge of Yuyi who came later confirmed my guess. He thanked me for rescuing their young patriarch, and he had no regrets when he learned that the other three clansmen could not come back. He just sighed and said: "No way, Fortunately, the young patriarch is fine, and they have successfully completed the task."

Did I complete the mission with my life? I felt like I couldn’t utter a word. Not only was I in a bad mood, but I was also wet and uncomfortable all over. I told the person in charge in front of me and turned to go to my tent to recuperate.

When I woke up early the next morning, the rain had stopped and the sky had cleared up. As soon as I opened the curtain and stretched my body, I saw the familiar family emblem appearing in front of my eyes.Several clansmen were smiling at me, and one of them said, "I heard that you rescued the young patriarch of the Yuyi clan just after you came here yesterday? You did a good job."

The other bumped him with an elbow: "How did you talk to Master Jing?"

"The patriarch said that there is no distinction of status on the battlefield. Master Jing is also our teammate now, no, captain."

"Captain?" I repeated the noun.

They thought I couldn't believe it, so they patted me on the shoulder enthusiastically, and handed over a scroll: "Yes, you are our leader this time, please teach Captain Mirror a lot."

The scroll is to appoint me as the chief person in charge of this operation. I stared at my father’s familiar handwriting for a while and couldn’t speak. The people who came this time were all younger generations, but no matter how young they were, they were older than me. They looked at the tribe and smiled. With an innocent face, I hold the scroll tightly.

"Uchiha mirror." The crisp female voice broke the laughing atmosphere here, and when I looked up, I saw the pale-faced Asako Hagoromo standing in front of a tent and looking at me.

The clansmen around me suppressed their smiles in an instant, and silently glanced back and forth between me and Yu Yi Asako. After a while, they didn’t know what to confirm. After resting in the tent, they left one after another.

Walking towards the silver-haired girl step by step, she also waited quietly, looking at me without blinking.That kind of scrutiny made me very uncomfortable. Thinking about it carefully, I should have done nothing to her. Didn’t I say that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda? as an enemy.

"What's the matter?" When I got closer, I realized that Asako Hagoromo had changed a little bit after looking carefully. I hadn't seen her for nearly seven or eight years. The once beautiful little girl became a very beautiful girl. Even more beautiful than her sister.The long silver hair was not tied up, and was softly draped over the shoulders. It was very long, and strands of silver light shone with the breeze.

It's beautiful, but unfortunately most of the beautiful things are poisonous. I still can't forget her cold look of killing her sister without hesitation.

"Thank you for saving me." Yumomo Asako blinked and smiled, the cold calculation in her eyes disappeared in an instant, and the soft smile filled her eyes. She fixed her eyes on me, "Thank you very much."

"...Nothing, this is my task."

"Do you have to draw a clear line with me?" She smiled, "I remember the first time I met you, and you rejected me straight away when I showed you my favor. You still can't forget the hatred I killed your elder brother?"

"never forget."

"Is it not, or dare not? There is no permanent enemy, at least we are teammates now."

"There are no permanent friends. If you are still destined to be an enemy in the future, why not distance yourself now." I thought about it and answered like this.In fact, apart from the clansmen, I don’t see any other ninjas that I can be friends with. No one can tell what the future mission is. Anyone may become an enemy, except my clansmen.

Yuki Asako was silent, the smile disappeared from her face and eyes, green eyes flickered, and she spoke again after a while: "That's a pity, I really want to be friends with you."

"..."

"Then don't care about the future, please give me more advice now, teammate." She raised her hand to me, regardless of my lack of response for a long time.

I looked down at that hand. The skin was fair but not delicate. The fingers on the back of the hand were covered with scars and calluses. Now this ninja's hand stopped firmly in midair, with no intention of taking it back at all.

I raised my hand and shook it with him: "Please teach me a lot."

It was only later that I found out that Asako Hagoromo is actually the official person in charge of the Hagoromo clan. Before I arrived, she led a team to investigate the enemy's situation, but the news leaked out somehow, and she was caught off guard by the Asagiri clan. , the opponent's unpredictable atomization technique made many Yuyi fall into a coma.Yuyi Asako immediately left these unconscious people and led the rest to retreat, but in the end, only she was left, and the rest of the tribe were all killed.

The order received by the Yuyi clan is to effectively attack the morale of the ninjas of the country of water, and join hands with the country of fire's ally Uzumaki to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the interior of the country of fire from the east. Together, they thought that killing all Chaogiri's clan would frighten the entire country of water, but they didn't expect to be turned against the generals in the absence of intelligence.

After listening to Asako Hagoromo's brief description of the previous situation, I was more concerned about a question: "Have you found out how the Asagiri clan knew in advance that you were going to attack them through that island?"

"No." Yuyi Asako was still seriously injured and her face was still pale, so she insisted on discussing with me. Right now, her lips are bloodless, but she still has no intention of resting. No one knows about Kazuhito."

The Renfu she was talking about was the former person in charge who asked me to rescue Asako Hagoromo. She was originally her deputy.

In fact, the answer to my question is very simple, either there are traitors or the Zhaowu clan has a special news channel, but no matter what it is, we can't act unless we figure it out.Information leakage means losing the opportunity, and once the opportunity is lost on the battlefield, it is equivalent to losing half of your life.

In the next few days, Hagoromo Asako and I first tested Hitoro Hagoromo, but found nothing unusual about him, then thoroughly checked the inside of the camp, and even dug three feet of the ground below, but still found nothing.There was a commotion in the team, and it was unclear what the two of us were doing. This commotion was finally completely ignited and erupted by two corpses in the early morning of the fourth day.

It was the camp patrol who first found the two bodies.The corpse was washed by the waves and floated to the beach. When it was found, it was already white and swollen by the water, and it was beyond recognition. It could only be recognized by the silver hair wrapped with sand grains and seaweed.The two corpses were all covered in blood, and two names were engraved on their bodies.

The names of me and Hagoromo Asako.

This is an insult and a provocation. Both the Uchiha clan and the Yuyi clan were very excited to see this, and they all demanded to fight against Asagiri immediately.

Asako Hagoromo stared at the corpses of the two clansmen, her expression fluctuated, and I stared at her perfect profile, always feeling that something was wrong.
