Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

"Since this energy belongs to the Abyss, the people who are influencing and controlling the Wind Dragon behind the scenes probably have nothing to do with the Fatui. They generally don't deal with the Abyss. Therefore, the most likely force is from the Abyss." Menma came up with an analysis that convinced everyone.

"Well, let's first decide on a battle plan regarding the Wind Dragon." After hearing the source of the familiar energy in the crystal, Kaeya, who had already gotten the answer, suddenly realized that the topic seemed to have gone a little too far, so he quickly spoke to get things back on track.

"The Wind Dragon's attack on Mondstadt has given us an opportunity to end the source of the disaster," said Jean. "According to Lisa's magic detection, the source of the hurricane that enveloped Mondstadt has been exposed."

"Oh? Then the answer is..."

"The abandoned 'Four Winds Guardian' temple. The Wind Dragon was able to stir up a storm of this magnitude thanks to the residual power." Lisa explained.

"No wonder I always feel that the power used by the Wind Dragon is a little inconsistent even though it is all wind elemental power." Menma continued to act. Hashirama beside him also knew that Menma was actually experiencing the feeling of "going through the plot", so he did not say anything, but just quietly played his role similar to "NPC".

Qin then added: "And our target is three of these four abandoned temples. The reason for choosing only three... I think everyone should understand."

Paimon: "I don't understand."

Sora whispered to Paimon, "This may be the tacit understanding of the locals... After all, they must know much more than us."

"Dear Knights of Favonius, there is no time to lose." Finally, Jean made the decision to the group, "The storm is raging, and passive defense is meaningless. Before the dragon disaster spreads, we should take the lead and head towards the ruins of the abandoned temple."

"Mr. Uzumaki, Mr. Senju, do you two want to come together?" At this time, Kaia turned his head and looked at the two of them and asked.

"We won't go. After all, if we start fighting inside, with our strength, I'm afraid we might accidentally tear down the temple." Menma declined. "If we want to really solve this problem at the source, the temple cannot be lost. I think you guys think so too."

"...Yes, indeed." Qin nodded. After all, they knew the Wind Demon Dragon's identity. If they really wanted to solve the dragon disaster from the source, in addition to strategic actions, post-war actions were equally important.

What would the Wind Dragon think if he destroyed the temples of the other three Wind Guardians in order to deal with him? What would all the people of Mondstadt and other forces who were concerned about this matter think?

"Since someone in the city has leaked our information, the most important thing we should do now is to catch the traitor. As for the problems in the three temples, you will have to solve them by yourselves." Menma continued, "Don't worry, Mondstadt will be fine as long as we are here."

"Well, you two, the safety of Mondstadt is in your hands."

After Jean finished speaking, she and Kaeya saluted the two men. Then, the two of them left the headquarters with Amber, Lisa, Sora, and Paimon, and mobilized some of the Knights of Favonius, preparing to split into three groups to solve the problems in the three temples.

Before leaving, Kaeya quietly said to Namahaki and Hashirama, "Since I think I will be very busy next, could you two help me with a few things?"

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"First of all, I definitely can't take care of my father during this period, so I would like to ask you two to help send my father to Diluk."

While saying this, Kaia had a strange expression, as if he was both proud and unhappy. "That guy was still upset that I took away his chance to take care of his father. He even gave Charles such a long vacation so that he would have a reason to stay in Mondstadt every day. Now, I'll give him this chance and see what else he has to say."

"Uh..." Menma and Hashirama were speechless. As expected of Kaeya, he even challenged Diluk on such a matter. And in Menma's opinion, Diluk was not that petty.

Of course, if the other party is Kaeya, whether there are any unspoken rules that he is not aware of is another matter.

"So what's next?" Knowing that Kaia hadn't finished speaking, Menma took the initiative to ask.

"Secondly, there is the problem of the Fatui in the city. Actually, this is not entirely asking you to help me, because they may very likely come to you on their own initiative."

"So many people have died at our hands, and you still won't give up?" Menma already knew from Hashirama that he had previously killed hundreds of Fatui, so he was somewhat disdainful of Kaeya's words about the Fatui attacking again.

"Oh? Did you kill all those Fatui who left the city before?" Kaeya knew that a small group of Fatui followed Hashirama out of the city, but he didn't know that group of Fatui gathered hundreds of people outside the city to find trouble with Hashirama, but in the end not even one person came back.

Oh no, half of the person has returned. Because at this time, the wooden clone of Hashirama, who used the transformation technique and carried the half of the body of the hidden mirror lady in a "box backpack", was registering with Lawrence and Swan at the gate of Mondstadt.

"Please tell me your name so I can register it for you."

"Oh, my name is Dazna, and I came to Mondstadt from Xumi for tourism."

Due to the effect of the transformation technique, the "box backpack" also turned into a very ordinary travel backpack, so it did not arouse the suspicion and questioning of the two people.

"Okay, registration completed. Then... may the wind god protect you, strange traveler, and welcome to Mondstadt."

……

Back to the present.

"According to the information I received, it is very likely that their executive officer personally took action this time." Kaia continued, "Although I think even the executive officer can't do anything to you two, you'd better be careful of their sneak attacks. After all, the Fatui often do things by any means necessary."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, we will handle this properly."

"Then I'll leave it to you, my father and those restless guys. As I said last time, I've already given instructions to the Knights of Favonius in the city, so don't worry about any trouble caused by making too much noise."

"Okay, then I'll be relieved."

After saying all this, Kaia walked out of the door, ready to set off with Captain Qin and the others.

According to their plan, Amber, Sora, Paimon and 30% of the knights went to the Temple of the Eagle of the West Wind, Kaeya led 50% of the knights to the Temple of the Wolf of the North Wind alone, and Jean and Lisa took the remaining 20% ​​of the knights to the Temple of the Lion of the South Wind, in order to resolve everything as quickly as possible.

Unlike the game plot, here the travelers did not go to the three temples in turn and then go in with the people who had been waiting here to destroy the wind dragon crystal, but three routes were advancing at the same time. In addition, because Menma and Hashirama were helping in the city, Captain Qin did not stay in Mondstadt this time, but chose to act with everyone.

"Mr. Uzumaki, Mr. Senju, is there anything you need us to do next?"

After Captain Qin and his group walked away towards the city gate, Virag came over and asked the two of them.

Since Jean and Kaeya had already given orders to all the Knights of Favonius, and since Menma and Hashirama were friends of all Mondstadt and would help them protect Mondstadt, when all the leadership members were away, they could temporarily obey the orders of the two.

"Make sure to guard the Knights' headquarters and don't let anyone in." Menma said, "Especially the Fatui guys. At this critical juncture, they are likely to take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters."

"No problem, this is our duty."

Virag saluted as a knight, then returned to his position and continued to hold his ground.

"Okay, let's go, Hashirama."

"Where are you going?" Hashirama, who had been on hold at the side, finally said, "Going back to [Flowing Wind Embrace]?"

"No, go to the street."

"On the streets?"

"That's right." A dangerous smile gradually appeared on Menma's face hidden under the mask. "Just walk around the street and treat it as an ordinary stroll. I'm also using you as bait. It would be even better if you can lure some Fatui guys to come."

"how about you?"

"I will hide in the dark not far from you, and always maintain chakra communication with you. After all, at the same time, I have to quietly find the Abyss Mage who is hiding in the city and spreading the news outside."

"no problem."

Chakra can be used to transmit sound, but it is very easy to be detected by other ninjas, so if you want to use this method to transmit sound without being noticed by the enemy, you can only rely on the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan or similar means. However, since there are only two "ninjas" who meet the requirements in this world, there is no need to worry about this problem.

"Okay, let's split up."

After that, the two of them walked out of the gate of the Knights' headquarters together, and then walked in two different directions. However, Menma created a shadow clone and went in another direction. After all, he still had to do what he promised Kaia.

……

……

……

"Finally we're here..."

At this moment, the wooden clone, who had returned to his original form, had already arrived at the room of [Flowing Wind Embrace]. After entering the city, he had moved all the way to the vicinity of [Flowing Wind Embrace], and then found an empty corner to cancel the transformation technique, and successfully entered the room that the two had rented until today with his appearance exactly the same as his original form.

"Huh? This is..." After putting the box on the ground, he was about to release his wooden clone when he suddenly saw the note on the table and hurried over to take a look.

[What? It turned out to be a note left by Menma's shadow clone. If the real person came back here first, then this note would be of some use, but now the real person is definitely with Menma, so this thing is useless.]

After tearing up the useless note and throwing it into the trash can, the wooden clone dissolved itself, turned into a pile of wood chips and gradually disappeared.

……

On the other side, Hashirama, who had just walked onto the street, received the information from the wooden clone. After digesting the content a little, he connected to Menma's "channel" through chakra:

[Hey, Menma, can you hear me?]

[I can hear you, what's wrong?]

[Our dirty army has added more than a dozen new members, they are... you can take a look when you have time.]

[Okay. But you suddenly told me this... Is your wooden clone back?]

[Yes, and he brought back something.]

[What?]

[The half-body of the hidden mirror lady... that's what it was called. Since there was no suitable sacrifice at the time, she was not reincarnated together with the others.]

[It's okay, let me handle this later.]

〔OK.〕

The call ended here for now, as the matter had been discussed. Afterwards, Hashirama walked to the Deer Hunter Restaurant and bought five skewers of Mond grilled fish, eating them while walking.

[It tastes similar to Menma's. The food here is delicious because the restaurant itself is a long-established brand in Mondstadt. Menma's food is delicious... Tsk, what a terrifying culinary talent.

Forget it, since I can't even catch up with him in this regard, then from now on, just like before, let him take care of our meals, and I will just continue to be a good foodie. 】

Just as Hashirama was eating the fourth skewer, two people dressed as Fatui suddenly appeared from the corner of the street and walked straight up to him:

"Mr. Senju, our executive officer wants to see you."

Although Hashirama kept a straight face, he was thinking the same thing as Menma in the dark:

[Finally I took the bait...]
