The leaves are fluttering

——Uncle, is it really okay to throw something like this that will attract a whole family to kill?

Land of Earth, in a casino in a small town on the border.

"Buy and leave! Buy and leave!"

"Big or small! Big or small!"

"Betting single or double? Hurry up and place your bets, the game will begin immediately!"

There were shouts one after another, the crisp sound of the dice hitting the wall of the cylinder, and quite a few people crowded the small casino.

Ah Si is the new sophomore at the casino. He just turned [-] this year and came here to find a small job to subsidize his family.At this time, he was leaning against a corner not far from the gate, and it was this inconspicuous position that made him discover a special existence—a little girl with red hair.

At that kid's age, it's unbelievable to be in a place like a casino.Ah Si stood up straight, submerged in the crowd and squeezed towards the direction where the little girl was moving.

……

Walking into the casino, the crowd didn't hinder Mito's actions, but the smell of sweat in the air was really unbearable.Mito frowned, and sped up his search for Uzumaki, hoping to get out of this nasty place sooner.

"Little girl..."

"Little girl with red hair! Yes, it's you!"

Mito turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw a boy who was obviously a staff member calling her.

"Little girl, you're not here to gamble, are you? This is not the place you should be here, leave now!" The boy Ah Si squeezed in front of Mito and said.

Mito took a steady look at Ah Si, then glanced at the people around her, and finally seemed to have made up her mind, she took out a money bag from her pocket and shook it.

"I'm here to gamble."

With that said, Mito squeezed to the nearest gambling table and bet all the money in his purse without any hesitation.Unlike Mito's calmness, Ah Si who squeezed in with Mito's whole heart was lifted.Mito's bet was not too little or too much, but Ah Si had a hunch that it was all the money she had.

However, the subsequent developments proved that Ah Si really worried too much.He saw the most impossible thing, and then—the three views he hadn't established were completely shattered.

Winning the first game did not bring much joy to Mito, and she continued to bet without changing her face.After that, everything was logical, betting, winning, betting, winning... Finally, feeling that it was almost done, Mito carefully put away the winning money, and left the gaming table without hesitation.

Take it when you see it.

After taking a last look at the casino, Mito passed Ah Si and walked straight to the door.

"Wait...wait a minute, little girl!" After chasing Mito to the door, Ah Si stopped her without thinking.

"What's the matter?" Even though Mito was eager to do other things, she stopped and turned to ask.

"Uh...it's nothing...just..."

"If it's okay, I'm leaving." Mito felt a little unhappiness in her heart, and she turned around and left.

Ah Si scratched his head, seeing Mito's figure disappearing into the crowd, he sighed and returned to his original position.

"...What a strange little girl."

On the street, Mito was walking towards the hotel, her figure nimbly weaving through the crowd.Although she was calm on the face, her slightly quickened pace revealed her restless heart.

Not in a tavern or a casino... Where is the teacher?

Yes, Mito is looking for her own teacher who disappears early in the morning, and getting along for almost a year is enough for her to see the essence of Uzumaki.

Good wine, good gambling.But there is no money to drink, because... all the money has been gambled away, but as long as she has money, Xuan Yuanjing will definitely buy the best wine. According to her words-to make up for the usual share.That's why Mito doesn't feel too much about winning a lot of money from gambling-it will end up in the teacher's drink money, sooner or later.

Of course, from Mito's point of view, Uzumaki still has merits. For example, she is very self-aware of her ordinary gambling skills, so when she loses to the point where she only has room and board left, she will consciously leave the casino.

What?You say that this kind of living standard is just stagnant, too unprogressive?Wake up, dear!You can be thankful that you're not in debt when you come across a combination alcoholic and gambler.

With Mito's speed, they soon arrived at the hotel where they stayed yesterday.It's just that she came out after a short while, and the hotel owner told her that her teacher had already canceled the room.

The smile at the corner of Mito's mouth was twisted for a moment, and she reached out to touch the money bag in her bag. She suddenly felt that the money was so cute, so cute that she didn't want them to be thrown into the arms of the tavern owner at all.

After leaving the town, Mito walked along a small path to the most likely place where Uzumaki was most likely to be—the last camping spot.This path crosses a large forest, and the forest is extremely quiet at the moment, with occasional bird calls coming from far away.

Suddenly, Mito stopped, and she felt that something was approaching at a very fast speed.Leaping onto the big tree on one side, Mito hid his body in the dense leaves, only peeping at everything under the tree through the gaps in the leaves.

Not long after climbing the tree in Mito, a wounded man in white appeared under the tree.His panting was rapid, and with most of his clothes stained red with blood, it was obvious that he was seriously injured.

After calming down for a while, the man leaned against the big tree, raised his head slightly and closed his eyes to rest.Also at the moment when the man raised his head, Mito saw his eyes——

Roll your eyes!

Mito's left hand holding the tree trunk tightened due to tension, she wondered if the man under the tree would be so vigilant as to look around with white eyes.Although the Hyuga clan has always remained neutral, no one can say anything about the war, not to mention the situation of this guy under the tree, he is probably being chased and killed.

Time passed by, Mito's body was tense, and his eyes were fixed on the man under the tree in order to cope with any changes.However, for such a long time, the man did not do anything other than close his eyes and doze off.

Mito regretted not leaving here, but was driven by curiosity to stay.

However, she soon breathed a sigh of relief.

Closing her eyes and feeling carefully, Mito found that many people were coming here from far away. Combined with the injured man under the tree, she guessed that the target of those people was this injured white-eyed man.

The white-eyed man also seemed to know that his whereabouts had been discovered. He threw an unknown object into the tree hole of the tree his body was leaning on without leaving a trace, and then fled in another direction without hesitation.

When the injured man walked away, Mito jumped down from the tree, reached into the tree hole, and collected the things left by the other party, and then she left the place without looking back.

For the rest of the way, Mito rushed to her destination as fast as she could, and soon she saw Uzumaki's figure.

"Mito, you are too slow."

Uzumaki complained, but said it in a teasing tone, and it was Uzumaki's tone and the smile on his face that gave Mito a second stimulus.

"Old! Master! May I ask who, without saying a word, ran away without a trace, causing me to run all over the taverns and gambling halls?"

Mito asked back with a half-smile.

"The casino?! Mito, have you gone to the casino?! Have you gambled? You must have gambled! How much have you won? Come and see!"

Obviously, the brain waves of Mito and Uzumaki are not on the same frequency.

"Heh! Heh! Even if the teacher wins, I will..."

Mito's right hand stretched to the back of her waist, quickly blocking Uzumaki's hand that was attacking her pocket.However, when it comes to money, Uzumaki will not give up easily, and she sweeps Mito with her left leg to knock him to the ground.

This kind of battle for money has not happened once or twice. Mito has seen through Uzumaki's tricks a long time ago. With the help of Uzumaki's right hand, she jumped into the air with one hand to avoid a blow.

In a purely physical collision, one tried to get close to the attack, and the other tried to stay away from the block. Although there was no large-scale destruction of ninjutsu, the strange power of the two did cause a lot of damage to the surrounding flowers and plants.

After this journey of practice, Mito's progress has been noticed by Uzumaki. As a teacher, she is very pleased, but——in the battle for money, she couldn't be happy at all.

Since Mito is determined not to let the money he won go into the belt of the tavern owner, he will naturally not make his teacher happy.She was very confident that her teacher wouldn't get any money, but—Xiang Jijing's next move made her no longer care about protecting the purse.

Assault—assault on the chest? !

Narrowly avoiding Uzumaki's evil claws, Mito, who fell from the sky, still maintained an unbelievable expression on his face.Seeing Uzumaki who was overjoyed by successfully grabbing the money bag, Mito didn't know what expression to put on.

As a teacher, is it really okay for you to be like this...?

Seeming to see through Mito's inner thoughts, Uzumaki shook her index finger with a serious look of "you don't understand anything yet".

"Mito, everything in war is changing rapidly. Even if you don't want to play tricks, you have to consider what surprises the enemy will use."

What unexpected trick?Hit the chest?

Mito felt that her teacher refreshed her three views again...

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore, the last thing I want now is of course-buying wine~"

Saying that, Xuan Yuanjing flew towards the town with her purse in hand.

"Teacher, don't we have to rush back to the Senshou station?" Mito reminded Uzumaki loudly.

"Buying wine is very important, don't worry, it won't delay the meeting between you and Xie Zhu, Xie Mito!"

After receiving a considerable amount of money to buy wine from Mito, Uzumaki was stunned.After Mito heard the ending sound after the word "small", goosebumps arose all over his body, and it didn't subside until Uzumaki walked away.

Sighing lightly, Mito lifted the hem of his clothes and untied another money bag tied to his thigh.

"Fortunately, I made two-handed preparations."

Mito smiled after shaking the purse, which was bigger than the one just now.Putting away the purse, Mito seemed to bump into something inadvertently with a wave of her hand, and took it out suspiciously, and she found that it was the scroll dropped by the white-eyed man.

Mito tried to open the scroll, but failed. She felt that the scroll was sealed.

Rubbing the suspected seal lines on the scroll with his fingertips, Mito frowned suspiciously.

When did the Hyuga Clan become proficient in the sealing technique... or... such a strange sealing technique?

The author has something to say: ah... I want to start an article about Nine-Tails becoming Madara, and I want to open a parallel world to successfully realize the Moon Eye Project (which has nothing to do with Heijuehui Yeji). ... How did it break?
