The leaves are fluttering

——The finale should be divided into upper and lower × Rival No. [-] was killed in battle

In the past few days, Xinying Eagles often fly in and out of Uzumaki Village, and people are speculating whether something big is about to happen.

After stuffing the last letter into the letter box, the Uzumaki patriarch released Xinying. Seeing Xinying gradually going away, he showed a gratified smile.

"This kid Hashirama matches Mito in our family, not bad! Not bad!"

The whirlpool patriarch scratched his chin in admiration.

After receiving a reply from a good friend in the northern part of the Land of Fire, the Thousand-Handed Buddha Room began to prepare for the marriage engagement between Mito and Hashirama.

A week later, the Senju and Uzumaki clans all knew about Mito and Hashirama.The two clans have been on good terms with each other, and they are still distant relatives. Everyone likes to hear about this matter, and it is usually the most talked about matter.

Everyone is immersed in joy, it's just - have they forgotten something?

.

"This... this... what the hell is this!!!"

Trembling with a few pieces of letter paper in his hand, Qingye couldn't believe his eyes.He just went on a long-term mission, but when he came back, he heard that his sister who had gone out to practice had not only returned, but was about to get engaged.

As one of the last few people to know the news, Qing Ye felt that he was about to explode.

He couldn't figure out how the development of things could be so bizarre. Before Mito left Senju's residence, the relationship between her and Senjuju was just good friends, but as soon as they came back, they met each other and wanted to get married.

Because they have been separated for too long, the two realized that they actually liked each other in their hearts?Don't be kidding, long-distance love dies quickly, let alone cross-border love.

"Hehe... this cruel world should be destroyed."

Aono, who was puzzled, finally decided that this was all malice from the world.He who had been blackened for the second time, with a ghostly smile on his face, reached out and raised the table in front of him high, as if he was about to throw it out of the window.

"Leave the table!"

The Uzumaki patriarch, who came in through the door, rushed over and hugged Qing Ye's waist, preventing him from throwing the table.

Aono didn't resist, he put away his weird smile and put down the table.

"You are finally willing to see me, old man!"

"Cough cough," the Uzumaki patriarch coughed a few times to cover up his gaffe, "You came back just in time, Aono, and you will also be present at the engagement ceremony between Mito and Hashirama..."

"I want to be there too... That's good. I have to think about what to send to bless them... For festive events, we need to decorate them with festive colors, why not decorate them with the blood from the Thousand Hands Column... Oops , What am I talking about, engagement is not marriage, how can you use that kind of red so quickly? But... Will there really be marriage... So let's give it away at the time of engagement..."

Qingye said a lot of words, the content of which made people feel terrified.Obviously, he has been stimulated to the point of insanity.

"Aono, I know you don't like Senju Hashirama, but...what if...even Mito herself agrees?"

Ao Ye remained silent, clenched his hands hanging on both sides of his body tightly.With his head lowered, Qingye's voice was suppressed and unwilling.

"It's not that I'm not optimistic about Senju Hashirama, I'm not optimistic about Senju! I don't understand... Mingming father, you have never advocated a formal alliance with Senju, why do you want to marry Mito now? Do you want to marry Mito like you did back then? Are you abandoning Mito like Aunt Minako? If it were me, I would definitely not..."

"Ayano!"

The whirlwind of the Uzumaki patriarch shocked Qingye, Qingye looked up at his father, but saw the tiredness and self-blame in his father's eyes, which were emotions he had never seen before.

"Aono...Mito is not Minako, and you are not me. Mito will be happy...because she will marry someone she likes, and Uzumaki is still the same as before, and will not form an alliance with Senju."

Aono no longer refuted, his previous words and deeds were all based on his love for Mito, if even Mito was willing, then why would he have any reason to object?Even though he said disdainful words, Qingye still recognized Senju Hashirama in his heart, and his only scruple was the word "senju".

Uzumaki and Senju are indeed related by marriage, but every woman who married Senju before, no matter how powerful or noble her status, none of them belonged to the lineage of the patriarch, except Minako Uzumaki. There will be one more.

Ao Ye knew that he was powerless to change, so he finally left silently.

After Qingye left, the Uzumaki patriarch stood there quietly until the sound of Xinying's flapping wings woke him up.He didn't read the letter, but went to the window and looked out of the window. There were children from the Uzumaki clan playing there, with innocent smiles on their faces that didn't match this era.

After a long time, his voice sounded in the room, clear and distant.

"... Maybe Mito should come back."

……

Three days later, Senjubuma, who received the handwritten letter from the Uzumaki patriarch, called Mito to his room.In the afternoon of that day, Mito prepared simple luggage and set foot on the way home.

Back in the long-lost village, Mito spends his daily life practicing, exchanging feelings with friends and teachers from the past, and talking about his life in the past few years with his father and brother.

Everything was normal until one night.

In the middle of the night, the Uzumaki patriarch took Mito into a shrine that only the patriarchs of the past generations could enter.The two of them stayed inside for a whole night, and they didn't come out until the fish-belly appeared in the sky. No one knew about it.

Another day later, Uzumaki patriarch took Mito, Aoye and two elders on the way to the Thousand Hands Clan.

……

When Mito and the others arrived at Senshou's residence, preparations for the engagement ceremony had already been completed, and all that remained was to wait.

One day before the ceremony, Aono took the initiative to find Hashirama, without Mito's knowledge.Looking at the embarrassed Hashirama in front of him, Aono's heart was complicated.

Zeng Jin, he obstructed in every possible way to prevent Zhujian from taking advantage of it, but the opponent blocked all the attacks with a silly smile; now, he was about to let go, but the opponent was nervous.

Aono thought, it would be great if Hashirama faced himself earlier with the mentality of facing his future brother-in-law, but unfortunately there is no if.

Thousands of words (unwilling) and thousands of words (unwilling) are finally turned into one sentence.

"Mito is my most precious sister, I entrusted her to you, take good care of her."

Patting Hashirama on the shoulder, Aono turned and left.

That back figure was as bleak as it could be.

Time always likes to fight against people, so when Qing Ye dreamed of going back in time, it ran faster than anyone else—the day of engagement is coming soon.

On the day of the engagement, even though she was so nervous last night that she stayed up late, Mito's biological clock still made her wake up early.After getting up and washing, she was served by someone to put on complicated clothes, put on light makeup on her face, and then was taken out of the room at the appointed time.

Everything went as planned.

When seeing Hashirama again, Mito didn't miss the flash of amazement in his eyes.

"Mito, you are so beautiful today."

Mito was relieved that Hashirama didn't become incoherent due to nervousness.

Among the crowd not far away, Aono stood at the place closest to Mito and Hashirama. He didn't shoot Hashirama with eyes that could kill people like in the past.He just watched everything calmly, Hashirama who smiled happily, and Mito who was rarely shy.

Engagement is not a marriage after all, the ceremony is not too grand, and almost all the high-level figures of the two races are present.Mito and Hashirama, dressed in formal attire, made a marriage contract under the witness of everyone.

Mito stared at the boy in front of him, if there were no accidents, he would be the one who would spend the rest of her life with her in the future.

【...Mito, you will always be a child of the Uzumaki clan. 】

That night, his father's last words echoed in Mito's mind.

She knows that this marriage contains more or less political factors, and she is also aware of the scruples of the Uzumaki clan and the expectations of the Thousand Hands clan, but she is even more aware that the boy in front of her will face all of this with her

Mito put her hand in the palm of Hashirama's, and she felt a tight grip.

As the future patriarch's wife of the Thousand Hands Clan, she knew the huge unknown she would face—the Qianshou Clan had never been a wife of the patriarch's identity as a foreigner.The grievances between Senju and Uchiha, the relationship between Uzumaki and Senju, the internal contradictions of Senju, and so on.

but--

Not to be bound by fate, to walk out of her own life, this is what she learned from Teacher Xuan Weijing.

And she also has such strength, she has always believed so firmly.

Turning to face the host, Hashirama and Mito clasped their fingers together.Mito could feel the temperature of Hashirama's body from the interlocking fingers, as well as the great power that came with the heat.

For a moment, Mito felt a great courage bursting out of her heart, and then she heard her own voice as soft as a whisper.

"As long as I have you by my side, I have infinite power."

The author has something to say: the first volume is over.

In order to welcome the second volume of Uzumaki and Uchiha, the stupid author wrote a short story, and the second volume will officially start after the short story is over (actually the stupid author, I need time to save some drafts (￢_￢))
