[Comprehensive] Konoha flower season

118.

The tunnel leading to the temple is very deep. There are some strange sacrificial totems painted on the tunnel wall, which have been weathered and peeled off for hundreds of thousands of years. The original bright colors of the murals have long been dimmed, leaving only some rough and weird lines. .

The underground is not wet, but strangely dry—it is obvious that there is so much rain in the Kelandra area and the Gulusuk Mountains, and the underground water system is also rich, but this tunnel is so dry that it makes my nose hurt.

We walked for a long time, and the water gate walked by my side, like a protector.

In the darkness, only Jin's temperatureless flashlight shines on the dark front. It seems inappropriate to say anything at this time.But I suddenly remembered the water gate that stood in front of me and Naruto on the night when Kyuubi attacked.

Has he changed?I wondered, I don't think he did.

What is it that made Minato show such an attitude and such a look when faced with the option of going home?

I can't figure it out.

If you only need to pay the price of "unremembering the name" of Uncle Ninja when you go back to the Five Great Nations - I will not hesitate.And I believe the same goes for Watergate.

The direction of the golden flashlight turned suddenly, and said to us: "Look."

His flashlight shined on the dome: there are countless white stones embedded in the dark dome, each stone has been broken and yellowed by the erosion of the years, but it can still be seen that it is a star map.

"When the position of the stars is correct, God Rusuke will wake up and the gate of the world will open." Jin Fulishi said slowly: "I can't remember the following, but this probably shows this image."

Then Kim shone the flashlight forward, and a door appeared in the darkness.

"This god doesn't like the sun," Kim explained, "so everything is underground. Wave wind?"

Watergate nodded.

I looked at them suspiciously, and then I was acutely aware that there was something out of the ordinary here.

This abnormality is very slight, I just feel a kind of energy very close to Chakra rushing past my feet one after another.I'm more than 01:30 points away from my prime, so I can't really tell what's going on.

I closed my eyes and tried my best to perceive the surroundings: strips of ancient energy passed through the stone wall, the amount of energy was not large, but they were heading in the same direction.

Minato said, "It's ahead."

I asked blankly: "What's going on with this... this place? Why does it feel a bit evil..."

Namikaze Minato said calmly, "Don't worry. This god doesn't like forced sacrifices."

I don’t like forced sacrifices—these six words immediately made me relax a little. I have never been to such an occasion, but at least it shows that this god and his temple will not harm us.

Then while I was thinking, Jin ripped down the temple door.

I whispered: "You should be careful."

Jin said casually: "If you don't open it, you have to guess riddles to get in. I'm too lazy to guess, it saves a lot of time."

Me: "... I always feel that your reinforcement system is so easy to think about, but I am also a little envious of single cells like you..."

Jin smiled shyly: "There's nothing to envy, it's just that my way of looking at problems is different from yours."

Then he threw the door made of black copper casually, and the door was even deformed under his violent pull. Such a thick iron door is still useless.

The water gate didn't speak much all the way, like an indifferent bystander, and then I noticed a line of small characters carved on the door, probably the passcode.

'Known to be a gift from the gods. '

I thought for a moment and asked Minato: "What is the answer to this sentence?"

Minato thought for a while, and replied: "—Unknown is the tribute of the gods."

There was only a ray of light in the darkness and the footsteps of the three of us. There was an indescribably heavy atmosphere inside the door. It was as if a pair of eyes were staring at me in the thick darkness where I couldn’t reach my fingers. Cold sweats broke out intermittently, but Minato and Jin looked unaffected.

Minato asked Kim, "What are you here for?"

"I couldn't face my son," Kim said.

"...I haven't seen him for a long time." Jin said sadly: "It's not appropriate to say this now, let's talk about it when we go out. I always feel that you have a deep feeling for this place?"

Jin Fulishi added: "You probably have some very long and complicated stories. If you don't want to tell them, you don't have to tell them. I just came here because I thought it was more interesting, but I always feel that it seems to have some special meaning for you."

"The ancient book I found - it was actually written by a poet many centuries ago, and it is part of his manuscript." Jin Fulishi thought for a while, and then said: "No, it's actually not appropriate to say a poet, a historian. The manuscript is about the customs and customs of the former kingdom in this mountain area, and the records are very detailed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is realistic literature."

Jin Fulishi said gently: "However, in such a documentary approach, there is a sacrifice to the god Rusuke. The opening sentence is 'here is a secret in the infinite universe', which cannot be ignored."

Minato nodded: "This place does have another meaning to me and my lover."

I said, "... rather, this place is like a gateway home to me."

Jin Fulishi looked at us suspiciously, as if guessing how true what I said, and then he stood still suddenly.

Just when I thought he was going to get to the bottom of where we came from, Jin lowered his voice and said, "... Be quiet, the front is the door."

The door in front of it is old and heavy, with no age at all, like a relic from the ancient times.Kim ran his hand over it and shook his head at us, indicating that he couldn't open it with force.

"This is a very, very old idea." Jin Ruo thoughtfully: "It cannot be broken by brute force, and there is another layer of 'restriction'. Its requirements must be met before this door can be opened."

Minato, who had been silent for a long time, said: "This is the first sacrifice of Rusuke's sacrifice."

Then he stretched out his hand and pressed against the ancient wall where thoughts converged. In an instant, centering on the wall he touched, the whole stone room swayed violently!Immediately afterwards, the torches in the entire stone room were lit at the same time, and the energy I felt before I entered the temple overwhelmingly overwhelmed me, and I was so crushed that I almost vomited.

Minato held my hand and brought me into his range. He probably used thoughts to prop up a range. I covered my mouth with a blue face, and was suddenly pressed by that force. It's all ice cold.

"Qinai, don't move around." His fingers were warm, and he said to me, "Leave the rest to me."

Then Minato nodded slightly to Jin, and Jin threw a small knife over, and Minato put the cold knife on his wrist and cut it off.

I didn't even have time to react, the water door was cut very deep, the blood sprayed on the wall almost immediately, he even pressed the wound and pulled it slightly, the blood spattered, his clothes were covered with his own blood.

I shouted in a panic: "Shuimen!"

The water gate gasped, and said gently to me: "I'll be fine—but this wall will not open until it has sucked enough blood. This is the first sacrifice."

He smeared all the blood on his wrist, the ancient stone wall shook, dust fell down, and then a dark and strange entrance was revealed, there was no wind inside, but I heard a strange wind sound.

There was an extremely terrifying and ominous atmosphere at the entrance. Minato pressed his wrist, and the blood flowed continuously. I immediately went up and used ninjutsu to stop the bleeding.

I felt unspeakably uncomfortable and panicked, and Minato's face was a little pale, but he still touched my hair gently with the other hand, and said to me: "Qina, it's okay."

"Let's go." Minato said to me gently, "The answer lies ahead."

Minato and I have known each other for more than ten years, nearly 20 years.

I don't know what kind of man he is.

Under such circumstances, no matter how sure he is about one thing, he will respect my wishes and play around with me.

The more I walked forward, the more fearful I felt. This road seemed to have no end, and the surroundings were deep and hopelessly dark. Only Minato's warm and moist palm was holding me.

'The unknown is the tribute of the gods. '

I felt fear sticking to my body like maggots, I almost wanted to run away, what kind of god is this?Could there be such a goddamn god, and why would anyone enshrine him?

But then I think about Naruto, about mine, about the orphanage, about Kakashi and all the kids I know, and then I think about Minato's childhood.

That kind of bitterness, grief, that kind of life cut into pieces by war—how could I be willing to let my children live that kind of life?So as long as I live, I have to go back no matter what.

I just felt my nose sour, and I asked Minato in a low voice, "Mom and dad should be responsible, right?"

There was silence in the darkness, and Minato just squeezed my hand tightly.

But Jin suddenly took over my words: "I am quite confident in my child."

I was amused by him: "You should pay less money for yourself, you are born but not raised."

Jin smiled and said, "Isn't it not long and crooked? I'm also happy. I'm not sick or in pain. Parents definitely need it, but whether it's necessary or not is another matter."

I said: "Unreasonable."

The atmosphere became lively, and Jin smiled and said, "My son, he's great."

I couldn't help but complain about him: "Your son is coming to you with the alimony bill."

Kim said, "So I ran away!"

I:"……"

I feel that I really have nothing to talk to with this kind of parent, and I have no sense of responsibility at all.

As I walked forward, I felt that even the barrier of the water gate could not resist the bone-piercing coldness. I felt as if I was walking to hell, and I was sacrificing myself.

Minato held my hand tightly.

This section of the road is very long. I don't know how long I walked before I saw the torch at the end of the road.

The orange-red flame was burning, and in front of it was a huge rough altar. In front of the altar stood a huge stele. The flames shrouded the altar with a layer of weird and strange light, which was strange and bizarre.

"This is the second and last altar," King said.

"The last altar wanted blood." Jin Fulishi looked at the stele: "This altar wants..."

He struggled to identify it, and then said: "What we want here is life."

What is the day?I thought about it, what is "taking the day as a sacrifice"?

Minato recognized the inscription on the stone tablet and read: "Mother's hair and father's blood. Those who enter the gate of the world cannot turn back. The destination is uncertain, and so is the way back."

Minato said to me, "We both have mother's hair and father's blood."

Me: "...This is the sacrifice? Jin, lend me the knife."

Shuimen said: "No, this is just an introduction."

But I didn't listen, and I went and asked King for his little knife, and cut off a long lock of my hair.My hair is still that fiery red color, it hasn't changed at all.

Minato grabbed the lock of hair cooperatively, and said gently to me: "Qinai, no matter what decision you make, I will go with you."

I asked in a complicated way: "What is 'whatever the decision'..."

Minato didn't answer, but said to me gently, "—just remember this."

Then he took the knife from my hand and wiped the knife in the palm of his hand, a fiery red color appeared on the white blade.Blood trickled down my lock of hair.

Minato put the two primers on the altar, and at that moment a cold wind blew, and all the torches went out at the same time!

I held my breath in the darkness, and suddenly I felt an indescribably familiar feeling in the surrounding air, which became very thin.

Minato whispered to me in the dark: "——Qinai, the destination is uncertain, and so is the way back."

I asked suspiciously: "What?"

"Didn't you experience it when we came to this world?" Minato said lightly, "——you don't know where you will appear, and you don't know when you will appear. I am three years ahead of you, You are three years behind me, and the ninja uncle who returned to the Five Great Nations 24 years ago simply appeared in this world five years ago."

A twisted shape appeared in the darkness, its edges lit up like candles, and it looked like a strange door connecting the unknown world.

Namikaze Minato looked at the gate calmly, and said to me: "—and you don't know where you will appear once you step in. The five major countries? Not necessarily. There are so many, tens of thousands of them. Possibly, the universe is infinite, and the world will only be as numerous as the sand on the beach."

He didn't continue talking, the door twisted, and it looked extraordinarily hideous and terrifying in this dark space.

The door gradually expanded until it became a size that a person could pass through.

Minato asked, "Next, Chennai—you need to make a choice."

——what is the day?Life is life, livelihood, and the life I take for granted.

'Take the days as sacrifices. '

Facing the door, I was finally surrounded by a deep fear that I had never felt before.

The future is completely unknown, can I go back to the Five Kingdoms after stepping through that strange door?Can I go back to a time when my kids didn't grow up?No, the next best thing is, can I live so long, what if I go back to a long, long time ago, what should I do if I go back to a long, long time later?

And water gates.What should I do if we are separated by hundreds or thousands of years this time?

It's like a gamble where I'm betting everything I have, and I'm not even half sure of the outcome.

Minato held my hand tightly and said to me, "No matter what you decide, I will go with you."

My palms were sweating, and there was only one door with a strange light in the thick darkness. It seemed that Minato and I were in another dimension, and I couldn't see anything around me.

We have come here, do we want to give up?

I asked myself, but I couldn't afford the courage to step one foot into that door, no matter what.

Are you leaving your child behind?I asked myself again, my heart was so uncomfortable that I could barely breathe, the answer I wanted and the way home I wanted were less than two meters away in front of me, but I didn't even dare to reach out.

Minato said softly: "Two years ago, I was standing here too, but I didn't go in."

I think of Naruto, and how he lay in my arms, and how little he has left for me—only when he was so, so young.

The door began to shake shut.

My nose was sore, but I couldn't walk half a step forward.No one holds me back, this is what I need to do, cruel multiple choice questions.

— come in?Still not going in?

Then Jin's voice suddenly appeared: "—Actually, you have already made a choice."

The future is unknown and uncertain, and the future is the life I can have.

Finally, I stared blankly, with red eyes, watching the door twisting and trembling to close.
