The leaves are fluttering

——The things they lost were picked up by them and kept well...

The sky is a bright blue, such a beautiful color has not appeared for a long time, in this era full of wars and wars.Perhaps it was the end of the long-lost war, and even the sky, clouds and wind were soaked in a layer of refreshing colors.There was a breeze, blowing up a shade of trees to form a sea of ​​green waves. The dark shadows were cast on the crystal clear river water, and the fish in the water seemed to be frightened and drove away again.

It's... unexpectedly peaceful...

Sighing in her heart, Mingyin knelt down and splashed a handful of water on her face to drive away the dryness and heat that appeared after practicing.Wiping her cheeks lightly, Akine turned her head and looked at Mito beside her.The difference from Mingyin is that Mito's body is still refreshed, without any sweat, which is extremely inconsistent with the scorching summer, but now, just standing there, Mingyin feels that Mito and the surrounding environment are Such a fit.

"What's wrong?" Sensing Mingyin's gaze, Mito turned his head and asked.

"It's nothing..." Looking away, Mingyin suppressed the doubts in his heart, and turned the topic to the other side, "Speaking of which, we met honestly, but not everyone is the same as us! Besides... Madara and the others ..."

Mito understood that what Mingyin said was a big problem.Obviously yearning for peace, but unable to let go of the hatred in his heart, so contradictory and confused, Mito, who had led the frontline battlefield for a period of time, understood the thoughts of those ordinary Senshou clansmen very well.If everything is to be cut off, the leader must make a decision. Similarly, if the leader makes a wrong judgment, then...the consequences will be disastrous.

Are everyone in the Uchiha as trustworthy as Akine?Mito stared at Mingyin's delicate and fair side face in a daze.Withdrawing his gaze, Mito lowered his eyes, a light flashed in his dark brown eyes.If... Madara is the same as Hashirama said, then when the two become the patriarchs of the two clans, will they just...

"...It would be great if adults could calm down and think about these issues." Akane's voice suddenly rang in Mito's ear, pulling Mito back from his inner world.

"Perhaps... this is not impossible," Mito raised her head and looked straight ahead, her eyes fell on the other side of the river, and all the scenery on the other side was reflected in her eyes, "When Hashirama and Madara become the head of the clan Finally, when we are all grown up, when...we are all strong enough." At this moment, Mito's eyes shone with a light that was different from the warmth in the past, and it was so hot that it almost scalded Akane's eyes.

"That's true, but... the most important thing now is to solve the immediate problem," Mingyin also looked towards the other side of the river, with a bright smile on her face, "For example, this is not a good place to meet, although these few days No one will come in the sky, but there is no guarantee that no one will come in the future, if they are caught like Madara and the others, it will be too—" As he spoke, Ming Yin turned his head to Mito's side, and Mito also turned his head, and continued Mingyin's words continued.

"—that would be too stupid." The two looked at each other and smiled.

After laughing, both of them returned to their usual expressions.

Mingyin stood up straight, her left hand was hanging by her side, her right hand was bent and supported by her waist, the wind blew her long hair, covering her eyes.Mito couldn't really see Akine's face, but she could hear Akine's voice, which was different from the previous serious words without the meaning of jokes.

"The word 'stupid' is actually just a joke. In the final analysis... If it were me, it probably wouldn't be much better." At this time, the wind stopped, and Mito could really see Ming Yin's face. face.Lifting his jaw slightly, Akane cast his eyes on the river. The dull color in those eyes did not focus on any place. For a moment, Mito felt that it was the color of reality. It was the purest black, but there was light in it. bloom.

"I don't know about your Hashirama, but Madara - he really has the awareness to give up something... In this case, open your eyes." Mingyin raised her head to look at the sky, and the corners of her mouth curled up in disbelief. The arc was small, but Mito felt that the smile was inexplicably sad. "After that, I thought, family relationship, friendship, love...the forced severance is different from the voluntary severance! The most painful thing is probably knowing that you can't have it and voluntarily giving it up. —— But," Mingyin changed the topic. There was a hint of freshness in his tone, "Knowing that I have to give up, but I would rather give the hint of 'escape' than go against my original intention... Although this world is not very beautiful, it would be too cruel for him. What? So—I thought, can I give him another chance, a chance to pick up what's lost?"

A...hint of 'escape'?

Looking across the gurgling river, something flashed in Mito's mind, she stood up abruptly, with a smile that was sure to win.

"Such an opportunity...isn't there now!" The figure brushed past Mingyin, and Mito left a word of unknown meaning, and then jumped into the river under Mingyin's surprised eyes.

"Hey! Mito, you..." Mingyin was frightened by Mito's series of actions. She didn't understand why Mito, who was still fine just now, suddenly jumped into the river?Before she had time to think about it, Mingyin immediately followed Mito into the water.

The river, a tributary of the Minamiga River, was neither deep nor shallow, but it took Mito a lot of effort to swim to the bottom.Looking around for something, Mito swam forward while carefully observing every trace.Suddenly, a bright light attracted her, and Mito swam towards the direction of the light with a flash of his eyes. There, a kunai and a short knife lay quietly on the rocks at the bottom of the river.

Cutting through the water and swimming near the two weapons, Mito looked for the surrounding stones one by one, but none of them was what she was looking for.Mito didn't expect to find it just by looking for it. After all, it had been a few days since the incident happened, and the river water would always take away those stones, so she was not discouraged.At this time, Ming Yin, who followed Mito into the water, also arrived. Looking at Mito's Yikunai dagger, she immediately understood Mito's thoughts.

The two swam to the other side of the river one after the other, rummaging for possible stones along the way, but they couldn't find the target they were looking for. "Wow--" and "Wow--", two heads appeared on the calm river, one red and one black.

After taking a few breaths, Ming Yin said to Mito after calming down, "It's too slow for us to find like this."

"Indeed, it's too time-consuming to search like this." Mito also understood Akane's meaning, and had to find another way.Frowning and thinking deeply, Mito had an idea: "Hey, Mingyin, can your Sharingan see through everything?"

"It can't be said to be everything, as long as it is ordinary ninjutsu, taijutsu, and illusion, it can be seen through." Reaching out his hand to brush the wet hair on his cheek behind his ear, Mingyin replied.

"That is to say, you can see everything clearly even if there is water blocking it?" Mito was overjoyed, and she looked at Mingyin expectantly.After seeing Mingyin's tacit nod, Mito spoke his mind.

"...Then I leave it to you to find the stones." After saying the last sentence, Mito plunged into the water first, followed by Mingyin, and the two swam towards the bottom of the river one after the other.After swimming to the destination, Mito gave Mingyin a look, and then she quickly formed a seal with her hands. In an instant, a stream of water swayed away, breaking the calm of the river bottom.With the obstruction of water at the bottom of the river, the wind escape cannot be used very well, but it is not a problem to stir up all the stones at the bottom of the river.

Countless stones were lifted up by the current, mixed with air bubbles and splashes, making people dazzled, but all these were nothing to Mingyin.A pair of red eyes turned quickly up and down, left and right, not missing any details, Mingyin carefully identified the surrounding stones, trying to find the two stones with black characters written on them.

An ordinary stone turned upside down and passed behind Mingyin's back. It was really small among countless stones, but what was special was that the word "Run" was written on one side of this stone.In the turbulence of the water, the stone turned over and fell towards the bottom of the river. When the stone fell to the level of Mingyin's waist, Mingyin seemed to be aware of it and turned around, and then she quickly shot to stop the stone.

At the same moment, out of the corner of Mingyin's eyes, she noticed another stone not far away. With one hand, she swiped aside the obstructing stones with a knife in her hand, and then swam forward with a swift movement like a swimming fish. .It's just that the stone didn't want to be caught, and it floated further away with the water.

"Shua——" A slender hand blocked the path of the stone from the front, and Mito, who was waiting at the side, also discovered the specialness of the stone.

After finding what they were looking for, Mito and Akane went ashore without stopping.

Sitting on the grass by the river, Mingyin simply cleaned up the water on her clothes and hair, and then looked at the stone in her hand. She gently stroked the two words written on it with her thumb, and then said with a smile: " I don't know what happened, but I actually went into the water with you to find this stone." Saying this, Mingyin carefully put away the stone. "Although there must be something entrusted to it, I can't hand it over now. If I give him hope at this time..."

"Of course it's impossible now." Wringing out some of the water from his hair, Mito inserted his hands into his hair and smoothed it out, then looked into the distance and said, "These two pebbles are useless now, but I won't say no in the future." Sure. Anyway, let us keep what those two idiots lost."

Do you keep it first?

Raising his hand to touch the place where the stone was hidden on his waist, Mingyin acquiesced to Mito's words.

A few days ago, in the branch of Nanhe River, two teenagers were forced to lose important things.

Today, in the same place, two teenage girls found what the boy lost.

Yes, the things they lost were finally found by them, picked up and kept well, until a certain day in the future, when the time was right, they would give them back to them.
