The leaves are fluttering

The author has something to say: clear the dividing line.

——Not long after the brave left, the princess destroyed the defensive facilities and met the stupid dragon. The brave said that he fainted in the toilet...

Ever since Aono left, Mito has been learning sealing and healing techniques from Minako. Except for the last day of the week, her daily time is full of practice. She is like a hungry person who is constantly absorbing knowledge. , and put it into practice.

The backyard of Minako's house.After finishing the study of sealing technique and healing technique today, Mito is practicing body technique.Fighting against the wooden stakes standing in the yard, Mito tried hard to control the strength not to break the wooden stakes, while refining chakra.

"Bang—" Under Mito's punch, the stake shattered into countless pieces.

Looking down at his fist, Mito frowned slightly.Still not working...

"Is Mito doing physical training?" Minako passed by the corridor, seeing that Mito seemed to be troubled by something, she walked to Mito's side and asked aloud.

"Not really, I didn't use all my strength to hit the wooden stake. Auntie, you know that our Uzumaki clan is born with great strength. I just want to try whether the instant release of Chakra can produce the same effect as the strange power, but it doesn't seem to be very successful. Mito said distressedly, "Auntie, do you have any good ideas?"

"It still depends on the accuracy of chakra refining and use! Through the practice of medical skills, you should have good control over chakra now, and you are also training to refine chakra every day. Hmm... Maybe your current precision The requirements have not been met, or there is a problem with the way of releasing Chakra." Minako analyzed.

The accuracy is not enough... Is there a way to release... Hearing Minako's words, Mito was thoughtful.

"By the way, Mito, I heard from your father that your strength is much greater than the children of the same age in the clan, isn't it?" Seeing Mito smashing the stake, Minako thought of the relationship she had with her brother a long time ago. communication.

"Yes, my father said that I am also very talented in this area. If I can get the guidance of Senior Jing... However, Senior Jing has been traveling, so..." Speaking of this, Mito showed a disappointed expression.

"Is Whirlpool Quiet? Indeed, although her sealing technique is really terrible, she is born with amazing strength, and she controls and uses her power very precisely. If only this point is compared, no one in the clan can surpass her!" Right. However, Mito, don't be discouraged, you might meet her someday!" Minako comforted the downcast Mito.

"By the way, Mito, you can go to the cherry blossom forest to the east to practice your physical skills and your strange power. There is a large open space. Besides the cherry blossom trees, there are many boulders around the open space, which is just right for you."

"The cherry blossom forest in the east..." It must be the place that brother said that it is easy to get lost!Getting lost shouldn't be too dangerous. If it's what my aunt said, it should be a good place to practice.After weighing the pros and cons, Mito felt that Minako's proposal was very good, so she decided to take a look tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, Mito packed up the things he needed to bring and headed towards the cherry blossom forest.

As soon as she entered the cherry blossom forest, Mito was fascinated by the beautiful scenery around her. After all, no matter how strong she is, she is still a girl at heart, and she always takes a second look at beautiful things.But soon she looked away and walked deep into the woods.

After walking for a while, Mito heard the sound of someone fighting not far away.Guessing that this is the open space Aunt Mizunako mentioned, Mito walked towards the place where the voice came from.Stopping at the edge of the open space, Mito glanced at the people in the open space.Mito's pupils shrank when he saw the one who was hit by the sparring.That is--

Kappa head. 【That person has a super earthy kappa head...】

Distinctive clothing. 【That person's clothes are tasteless...】

He has a firm expression and looks like a nice guy. 【Don't be fooled by his appearance...】

Is he the one my brother said?

Caught in her own thoughts, Mito didn't notice a huge rock flying towards her at high speed.

"Be careful!" Dodging his younger brother's attack, as soon as Hashirama hit the ground, he saw that the boulder that was originally flying towards him was crashing into a red-haired girl who appeared at an unknown time along the original trajectory.Before he had time to think carefully, Hashirama reminded the other party loudly, and at the same time, his body involuntarily flashed in front of the girl.

Pulled back to reality by Hashirama's exclamation, Mito also found the boulder flying towards him.After a moment of astonishment, Mito quickly set up an attacking stance, but at this time, a figure stood in front of her.

At this time, Zhu Jian's thoughts were: no matter what, I must not let her get hurt, even if I was crushed to death by a boulder!

At this moment, Mito's thought was: Who is this person who suddenly appeared to hinder me?Could you please let me go?

Although he was very uncomfortable with the sudden appearance, Mito immediately reacted to the sudden change.She grabbed Hashirama's left hand with her left hand and pulled it aside, at the same time she stepped her right foot to the right, and her right fist brushed Hashirama's side face with strength and punched out.

With a sound of "Boom--", the boulder shattered in response.

With the crisis over, Mito withdrew his right hand and at the same time let go of his left hand that was holding Hashirama's wrist.

"Hey... Let me say, why did you suddenly come to me?" Although he was a little upset, Mito's tone was as gentle as possible.

Hashirama was still overwhelmed by the sudden shattering of the boulder, so he didn't hear Mito's question.

"What's the matter with you? Why didn't you speak?" Frowning, Mito reached out and poked the frozen Hashirama.

"Um... sorry, what did you just say?" Finally returning to his senses, Hashirama turned around with a dry smile.

"I said, why did you suddenly stand in front of me?"

"Ah, that's because I didn't know you were so powerful, so I subconsciously wanted to block the stone for you." Hashirama said it as a matter of course.

"Aren't you afraid of being smashed?" If I didn't smash it with a punch.

"Haha, I didn't think so much, I just know..." As he spoke, Hashirama put away his grinning smile, and turned to look directly into Mito's eyes firmly and seriously, "I just know that I will never let you get hurt .”

...I just know that I must not let you get hurt.This sentence is like a small stone thrown into Mito's heart lake, causing ripples in layers.

Blushing slightly, Mito turned his head and said, "You and I don't know each other... If you do this to everyone, you don't know how many times you were crushed to death..."

"Haha, you're right, so... because it's Mito, I just did it without thinking." Hashirama said without hesitation, and his voice clearly reached Mito's ears inside.

"How do you know my name?" Mito was very surprised that Hashirama could call out his own name.

"Haha, I'm actually not sure! But your hair color is so conspicuous, so..."

"Ah... no, I mean your hair is redder than Auntie Minako's... Ah, no, no, I want to say..." Hashirama tried hard to organize his words, not wanting Mito to misunderstand, "I want to say What's more, your hair color is beautiful, it feels like a fire...so warm..."

"...I believe that with such a warm color of hair, you must be Mito Uzumaki." Looking directly into Mito's eyes again, Hashirama's eyes were determined and gentle.

Seeing Hashirama scratching his head embarrassingly because he said something wrong, and then smiling as if confirming something, Mito's mood became inexplicably good.

Smiles are contagious... Thinking of this, Mito smiled back at Hashirama.

"You are the first person to praise me like that. Although I don't know you very well, but... from this point of view... you are not as bad as my brother said, you are a good person!"

"Haha, is that right? So we can be regarded as friends! Then... can you show me the right hand behind your back?" Although it was a question, Hashirama's tone could not be refused.

Unexpectedly, the change in Hashirama would be so great, Mito was stunned.Subconsciously moved her hand behind her, Mito wanted to say that she could use medical treatment for a while, but after touching the majestic eyes in the column, Mito stretched out her right hand.

Withdrawing his momentum, Hashirama grabbed Mito's wrist.Seeing the abrasion on the back of Mito's right hand, Hashirama took out the medicine and bandage from behind, and knelt down to bandage her.

"Although it's just a small scratch, you can't let it go... Judging by your actions, Mito, it doesn't mean that you often hide your injury from your brother, right?"

"..." Being hit by Hashirama's words, Mito turned his head in embarrassment, "Why do you know everything..."

"That's because I'm also an older brother!"

Mito glanced at the boys standing not far away who seemed to be Hashirama's younger brother, and then turned her gaze to Hashirama who was helping her bandage, she spoke suspiciously.

"Why do I think you should be hurt and keep your brother from telling?"

Hashirama froze his movements, and at the same time, clouds of depressed black air emerged from his body.Looking at Hashirama like this, Mito knew he had guessed right.

He also said that he is an older brother, but the result is not the same as me.But... I can assume we have the same thoughts, Senju Hashirama?That... that feeling of being worried by people who don't want to care about themselves.
