The leaves are fluttering

——I, Senju Hashirama, the wife I admit will only be Mito Uzumaki!

On the high steps made of red jade, there is a half-cracked stone chair.The broken curtains used for decoration on both sides of the stone platform are embroidered with ancient paintings of different colors, the only thing in common is that their edges are all decorated with patterns in the shape of hook jade.When you walk near the stone platform, you will find that there are broken Gouyu scattered on it, and the dark color gives people a weird feeling.

The place where the murals were carved outside showed little traces of historical wear, but here it was a mess.Picking up a half-broken gouyu on the stone platform, Mingyin looked at it for a while, then frowned and said: "The gap between the inside and the outside is really big-there are shadows of gouyu everywhere here, and these dark gouyu always give me a big surprise. An uncomfortable feeling."

After searching around but finding no other way out, Mito returned to the stone platform just in time to hear Mingyin's words.She curiously picked up a complete Gouyu, and then tried to inject chakra into it—no response, and then quietly used the force of nature—a tiny suction was fleeting, but Mito clearly felt it .Putting Gouyu back into his sleeves calmly, Mito nodded and said: "It's indeed a bit of a violation. ——I just walked around, and there is no way forward."

"There is no way?" Throwing Gouyu to the ground casually, Mingyin turned around and scanned the place roughly, "Maybe there will be a secret door—this is like a place where high-ranking people rule the country, there should be more than one way."

Feeling that Mingyin's words made sense, Mito began to look around the stone platform and the surrounding capital injection and walls to find places where there might be institutions.At the same time, Mingyin walked up to the high platform, intending to go to the chair to see if there is a mechanism.

After going around in a circle, Mito didn't find the existence of the mechanism, but she found several other doubts - on the four pillars closest to the stone platform, the seemingly beautifying carvings are actually more like a sealing array when combined. , and there are eight places on the surrounding walls with very small protrusions - it is very likely that there are dark passages.

"Mito!" Akane called from the high platform in the distance.

Mito responded, then climbed onto the platform and came to Akane's side.Mingyin squatted in front of the wreckage of the stone chair, pointed to the only remaining armrest of the chair and said to Mito: "Mito, check if this is a sealing formation."

The place Mingyin was pointing at was just at the bottom of the handrail, so Mito squatted down and put her face close to the handrail, only to see a small circular pattern deeply embedded in the bottom of the handrail. The sealing array seen on the four pillars.

"There is no doubt that this is some kind of seal formation." Straightened up, Mito's index finger was slightly curled against his lips, and he said after a while, "I also saw the same seal on those four pillars." Stretched out his finger Referring to the four pillars closest to here, she expressed her thoughts: "There are also some inconsistencies on the wall. I think this is probably the way to get out."

"I don't understand the sealing technique," Mingyin admitted that he was not good at it, and gave the initiative to Mito, "Mito, what should I do?"

"Try it! Maybe unlocking the seal will open the way out." Mito was not sure that the same unlocking method could open the seal array in this ancient country twice, but she decided to give it a try in order to be able to get out.Kneeling by the armrest of the stone chair, Mito put his hand close to the seal engraving, and the blue chakra poured into the stone chair and flowed in a specific way.

With the release of the seal under the armrest, the seals on the four huge pillars also receded to the two sides. "Kala—" The sound of friction and rotation of the wall came, and Mito and Mingyin, who were standing on the high platform, could clearly see the four passages opened on the wall.

Walking down the high platform, the two looked at all four passages, and finally they stood in front of one of the passages.Looking at the road with no end in sight, they hesitated which way to go.

"Four roads popped up all at once, and I couldn't tell which one was the way out..." Standing there with her arms folded, Ming Yin frowned slightly.

"Maybe... all four of them lead to the outside?" Mito made a bold guess.

When the two of Mito were struggling with which way to choose, there was a voice from far away.The voice was so far away and so soft that neither of them noticed it.

"There is no way for us to guess like this, I think we should go this way!" Not intending to hesitate any longer, Mingyin stepped forward and planned to take a step ahead.However, as soon as she lifted her foot, she was pulled by Mito before she stepped out.

"Akane, did you hear anything?" Mito stared vigilantly at the passage in front of her, her ears could pick up intermittent sounds, which disturbed her.

"What..." Ming Yin was about to ask, but immediately stopped, because she also heard that voice.Both Mito and Mingyin felt that the voice was very familiar, as if they had heard it in many places, it seemed——

The sound of running water? !

The moment they reacted, the two looked at each other very quickly, then turned around and ran towards the direction they came from at the same time.It's just that people run fast, and the water flows faster. They were submerged by the surging water as soon as they ran to the high platform.Water poured into the main hall from the four wide-open doors. When it overflowed the stone chairs on the high platform, some mechanism was triggered, and a circular channel was cracked on the floor in front of the high platform.As the water gushed down, the two of Mito were also washed into the channel.

At the bottom of the dark water, Mito only persisted with the breath she held before, she didn't know where she would be rushed, she only hoped that she could persist until the moment when she could breathe fresh air.

In a deeper place, the fluctuation of the water flow suddenly became abnormal, and it seemed that something was swimming towards it.Aware of this, Mito's eyes moved down, a light flashed in the dark deep water in the distance, and then a huge black shadow approached here.

Seeing the swimming creature clearly, Mito's eyes were wide open, and the momentary fright made her forget to hold her breath, and water was poured into her nasal cavity from her mouth.The limbs struggled subconsciously, and the resulting fluctuations in the water attracted the giant snake not far away.

Consciousness gradually became drowsy... When Mito was about to pass out due to lack of oxygen, a hand held her, and then she felt a warmth on her lips, and oxygen poured into her mouth.

Consciousness came back, and Mito vaguely saw a pair of crimson eyes with twisted black patterns through the gap between the upper and lower eyelids.

……

In the middle of the Land of Fire, a river runs through a large forest.

"Wow—" Two heads appeared on the originally calm water, one black and one red.Panting heavily, fresh oxygen poured into his lungs, Mito never felt so happy to be able to breathe as he does now.Taking a breath slightly, Mito turned his head to look at Akane, who happened to look back at her too.

"It seems that we are..." Mingyin just turned her head casually, but the moment she saw Mito, surprise flashed in her eyes, "It came out successfully." Mingyin concealed the emotional changes very well, Mito did not Did not notice.

When they got ashore, the two found a hidden cave in the forest, dried their clothes with Chakra, and began to discuss their next action plan.Separation is unavoidable, but they agreed that they should first find out what is here and fill their stomachs. Therefore, Mito is responsible for solving the problem, and Akane is responsible for finding the way.

"I found the way." When Mito was roasting rabbit meat, Mingyin came back from exploring the way, and brought back a piece of good news at the same time.Sitting next to Mito, Ming Yin stretched out his hand to take the roasted rabbit that Mito handed over, and then began to describe his discovery, "Go out from here and go south, and you can walk to the main road in a few steps, which is the road leading to the Lord of Fire. The main road of the city. As long as we get there, we can find out the direction..." Mingyin didn't say the rest, but Mito already understood-they are also ninjas, when they are trapped together, they can work together However, when the crisis is resolved, it is better for them to separate as soon as possible without knowing each other's origin.

After appeasing their hungry stomachs, Mito and Mingyin left the cave and jumped in the direction of the main road after a short rest.After walking forward for a few minutes, Mito saw the shadow of the main road in Akane's mouth, "咻—咻——" two times, Mito and Akine stopped at the edge of the forest.

"That's Mount Akagi." Looking up at the crimson mountain in the distance, Akane said to Mito.

Naturally, Mito also recognized the famous mountain in the Land of Fire, ignoring the flash of disappointment in her heart, she said with a smile: "It seems that it's time to say goodbye."

"Indeed." Mingyin nodded lightly, then she turned and walked to the left side of the road, "I hope we will never..."

"I hope we will not be enemies when we meet next time." Before Mingyin finished speaking, Mito, who was walking to the right of the road, snatched the white. "Then... goodbye." Mito jumped away first, waving his hands behind his back.

After recovering, Mingyin suddenly laughed out loud, and her tense face softened, which made her look much closer. "Isn't it an enemy..." Mingyin lowered her eyelids, sighed a little, and then disappeared on the spot in an instant.

"...The one who dyed her hair black...you are really weird, Mito."

At the same time, Mito, who had already run far away, suddenly stopped on a branch of a tree, and she finally discovered something strange—her hair was no longer black!Mito grabbed the hair hanging on his chest and took a closer look. Although the black had receded, the original red was not fully revealed.

No matter how much Mingyin discovered, this is the only way to go now.Sighing helplessly, Mito started to continue jumping in the direction of the Senju Clan camp.

On this side, Mito was rushing back with all his strength, and on the other side, in the Senju camp, Hashirama was confronting the elders.

When the battle was tense, the Great Elder and others rushed to the front line from the station, and those who were well-informed and quick-witted knew what was going on.Qianshou Buddhajian was arguing with the elders in the big tent, none of them thought that Zhujian would suddenly break in.

Qianshou Buddha thought that he and his son were on the side, and he didn't want his son to confront those old foxes immediately, so he didn't call Zhujian over.As for the elders, they directly ignored Hashirama's thoughts. In their concept, "future patriarch" is just "future patriarch", not "now".

"Mito is just missing, not dead!" Hashirama's eyes were full of anger, but his tone was extremely calm. This compelling aura calmed down a few of him who were used to being carefree, gentle and good-tempered. the elders.

"I, Senju Hashirama, the wife I admit will only be Mito Uzumaki!"
