The leaves are fluttering

——I promised myself that I would never let her get hurt!

While Mito and Mingyin were looking for a way out of the ruins, the news of Mito's disappearance had already spread to the rear camp.In a dimly lit room, a woman whose face could not be seen was holding a letter written in ciphertext. On the table in front of her was an unsealed scroll.The pad of her thumb lightly rubbed the letter paper, and the corner of the woman's mouth slowly raised a slight arc.

"So good..."

At the same time, in the main tent of the camp, Qianshou Buddhajian, who received the urgent secret report from Feijian, stared at the paper in his hand solemnly.The assassination incident has not been resolved yet, Mito disappeared again, and now the battle with Uchiha is at the most critical time, all kinds of bad things are coming up, it is no wonder that the Senshou patriarch is in an extremely bad mood.

The frequency of finger tapping on the desk table was extremely fast, Qianshou Buddha thought whether to tell Zhujian about it.Based on what he knew about the eldest son, Zhu Jian's temper was likely to rush to save others, but... Sighing lightly, he decided to tell the elder son about it, after all, he couldn't hide it for long.

Summoning Zhujian, Thousand Hands Buddha told the news directly.

"Father...you...you...what did you say?" Hashirama opened his eyes wide in disbelief, he thought he was hearing hallucinations, but the heavy expression of Qianshou Buddha told him that everything was true.

"There is an urgent report from the front line that Mito is missing, and he is suspected to be buried in the collapsed ruins." Qianshou Buddha turned his back to his son, and he told the news just received again.

"I'm going to Huangyan Gorge!" Putting these words aside, Hashirama turned around and was about to rush towards Huangyan Gorge.

"Thousand-handed Zhujian, stop!" Thousand-handed Buddha sternly stopped Zhujian's impulsive actions. It is one thing to understand his son's mood, but another to take care of the overall situation.Hashirama will be the patriarch in the future, and he must let him understand this, "Are you going to ignore the situation here?"

"However, I can't leave Mito alone!" Once Hashirama decided on something, even ten cows would not be able to pull him back.The father and son both had the same temper, they would not let anyone else go, and the atmosphere was deadlocked.

At this moment, the door of the tent was opened, and a person who would never appear here walked in.Seeing the person who came, Hashirama didn't care about confronting his father anymore, he ran to the young man.

"Brother Aono, you are here! Do you know about Mito..." Hashirama was very anxious in his heart. He thought that Aono must be the same as himself, and this might increase his persuasiveness when he went to Huangyan Gorge to save Mito.

"I know all about it." Compared to Hashirama, Aoye was obviously much calmer, and he patted Hashirama's shoulder to show comfort.Of course, this does not mean that Aono doesn't care about Mito, after all, he is much older than Hashirama, and he thinks more rationally.

"Uncle, I know everything about Mito. I came this time mainly to ask Uncle, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" Aono's attitude was sincere, but the question he asked was precisely the most important question among Thousand Hands Buddha. Headache.

From the secret letter sent back from Feijian, Qianshou Buddhajian already knew that this matter was related to the elders.Of course, the Council of Elders would not be so stupid as to mess with the princess of the Uzumaki Clan and the wife of the future head of the Thousand Hands Clan, but they were afraid that someone would make a fuss about the position of the wife of the Patriarch and pull the Council of Elders into trouble by the way.

As early as when he made up his mind to let Zhujian marry Mito, Senshou Buddha knew that there would be problems-the Senshou clan has never had a precedent for a foreign woman to be the wife of the patriarch.He just didn't expect Mito to have an accident so soon, but he specifically asked Tokaima.

"I have handed over the matter of finding Mito to Fengyun and Tokaima. What we have to do now is to control the chain reaction caused by this incident." Senjubuma did not tell the truth, and he did not want Qingye to know about Mizuma The disappearance of the household is an internal problem of their Qianshou.

"Then I will leave everything to Uncle. But... I have a request," Aono paused for a while, then he looked directly into the eyes of Thousand-Handed Buddha and said solemnly, "During this period Inside, I hope that no one can shake the identity of the wife of the future patriarch of the Mito Senju Clan."

Hearing what Aono said, Senju Buddha also made his own promise: "Don't worry, Aono, Mito will always be Hashirama's wife, my daughter-in-law."

After receiving the promise from the Thousand Hands Buddha, Ao Ye forcibly pulled Hashirama, who refused to leave even if he died, to leave the big tent.In fact, both Aono and Senjubu knew that all the promises were based on one condition - Mito was not dead.

However, no matter what the conversation between Aono and Senju Buddha implies, Hashirama has only one thought—he must save Mito, and no one can stop him.

"Brother Aono, if you don't want to, then I will go to Huangyan Gorge alone!" After being denied by Aoye, Hashirama shouted this sentence angrily.

Aono was very pleased that Hashirama cared so much about Mito. He thought that he had not entrusted the wrong person, but he also understood that some things cannot be done just by talking or thinking about it.Hashirama's character is sometimes too stubborn, especially when someone close to him is hurt, he can't let this kid's impulsiveness worsen Mito's already unfavorable situation.So, Qing Ye persuaded: "I know Mito's strength well, you have to trust her, she will never have an accident."

【...Hashirama, you can't stay by my side forever... You have to believe that I have the strength to protect myself. 】

Aono's words reminded Hashirama of what Mito had said to him before he went to Ararayan Gorge, and he fell silent instantly.Doesn't he know how strong Mito is?Excellent medical skills, sealing skills, astonishing strange powers and... immortal skills, but——I just can't help worrying about her!No matter how powerful she is in the eyes of others, she is an ordinary girl in his eyes.

Ao Ye didn't think that Hashirama would lose his whole body because of his own words, he poked Hashirama uncertainly, and then asked cautiously, for fear of hurting the other party's "glass heart".

"Hashirama, are you... all right?"

"Brother Aono..." came the low voice from Hashirama, "I know what you said, but... I just can't help worrying, because... because she is Mito!"

"Ah... ah... I can understand your feelings." Ao Ye patted Hashirama's head as if he had come here.This feeling of "No matter what others think, she is the one I want to protect, and no one can hurt her", he has a deep understanding, after all, he is the whirlpool Qing Ye of "the world's number one girl control"!

But... the world changes, people change, and their moods naturally change.Putting up the index finger of his right hand, Aono taught Hashirama in the tone of a confidant brother: "There is nothing wrong with this desire to control, but——you have to handle it well. Mito hates people who control her, rather than chasing her." It's annoying, why don't you take care of her worries. First of all...you have to deal with those who don't want Mito to be your fiancee."

After being reminded by Aono, Hashirama remembered what Togama said in the letter, nine out of ten people who want to harm Mito are members of the Presbyterian Church... and the most suspected one is the third elder.

"Thank you, brother Aono, I know what to do!" Hashima jumped off the roof with firm belief, he waved to Aono from a distance, and then ran away quickly.

Seeing Hashirama leaving in a hurry, Aono smiled angrily.He had passed on the lessons of his own blood and tears to Zhujian.

"Thank me for what? Mito is also my sister!"

After that, Zhu Jian stopped arguing about going to Huangyan Gorge, and began to secretly investigate matters related to the third elder.

During this period, from time to time, some people suggested that Mito was more dangerous than good, and that for the future of the Senju clan, he should change his fiancée to Hashirama, but they were all suppressed by Senju Buddhama and Hashirama.Thousand-handed Buddha Jian closed his eyes and shut his mouth as soon as he heard this topic, with an expression that I didn't hear anything clearly, and Zhu Jian was even worse - directly beat up the person who said this, not only did not cause any trouble. The anger of the crowd, on the contrary, established an image of a "good man" in the eyes of the younger generation-knowing how to protect his own people at a young age, and in the future, he will be a good patriarch who protects his clan! (The understanding of the clansman: Mito→the current relatives, the clansman→the future relatives)

The quest to find Mito continues, and the war will not stop.During a mission, Itama's team was besieged, and when Hashirama arrived with his men, it was already too late.

Mito's disappearance and Itama's death in battle made Hashirama feel that his world had become gloomy. Feeling depressed, he left the camp and ran to the secret base he discovered before.

Away from the battlefield, a river divides the forest in two.

At this time, Hashirama was squatting by the river to watch the flowing water go by, which would make his mood much calmer, but someone seemed to not want to give him a quiet environment.

"Yo, long time no see, that..." A voice sounded from behind Hashirama, it was a boy in black with a prickly head.Seeing Hashirama, the boy seemed to be in a good mood.

"...Hashirama." Hashirama softly added his name, his voice was gloomy, as if he was not in the mood to speak at all, and the thorny boy also noticed this.The thorny boy——Madara in Hashirama's mouth asked his friend what happened with concern, but Hashirama just refused to say anything. Finally, Madara, who couldn't bear it anymore, pointed an angry finger, and Hashirama let go.

"My younger brother died in battle..." From the choked up voice in Hashirama, one could hear how bad his mood was.

Madara didn't speak, he threw the small stone in his hand, made a throwing gesture and threw the stone out, and then said: "As long as there is war, the sacrifice will not stop... I have brothers who died in the past... In war."

"Is there no way to stop the war?" Hashirama turned his gaze to the opposite bank, as if there was someone there who could answer his question.

"'As long as there are people, there will be interests, conflicts of interests will lead to wars, wars bring hatred, hatred makes wars endless, so repeated, there is no end.' A person once said to me like this." Madara single-handed Standing on the edge of Hashirama with his hips akimbo, his eyes were cast on the other side of the river just like Hashirama.

"'... But common interests can also stop wars.' This was said by someone who is very important to me." Hashirama silently refuted Madara with what the user had said.

Hashirama's words seemed to awaken Madara, he bowed his head in thought, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this sentence made sense.Madara was suddenly curious about what kind of person the person who said this was, he turned his head and asked Hashirama: "Who is the person who said this? I think what he said makes sense."

"Madara, you also think it makes sense!" After getting Madara's affirmation, Hashirama was extremely happy, but when he thought of Mito's whereabouts, he instantly became depressed, "It's a pity... Mito is missing... it's all because This damn war."

"Her? Girl? This of yours?" As he spoke, Madara tickled the little finger of his right hand.When Hashirama said the word "she", Madara thought of this relationship.As far as he knew, there were only brothers and no sisters in Zhuma, and there were important people who were not sisters, and the answer was obvious.

"Well. Mito is not my clan. Some people in the clan are dissatisfied with this, but because of her clan's reluctance to make a public move, as a result... Mito accidentally 'disappeared' on the battlefield." The voice of Hashirama Yan.When it comes to Mito, he feels very uncomfortable.

"It seems that your fiancée's life is not very smooth!" Madara suddenly said with emotion.

"'Also'? Madara, you also encountered the same thing as me?" Hashirama looked at his little friend in surprise.

"I'm different from you...Mingyin doesn't have the support of her clan like your Mito." Madara folded his arms on his chest, his eyes darkened for a moment, the flickering light in it was obscure.

"...Mingyin is an orphan, and she has no one to rely on except me... Since she was a child, she has been extremely independent, and she has worked harder than anyone else in training, but—as strong as she is on the outside, she is so fragile inside... ...I promised myself that I would never let anyone hurt her." At the end, Madara's tone became a bit more serious, as if she was swearing to someone.

"Then, let's work hard together!" Madara's words touched Hashirama sitting on the river bank, and the picture of getting along with Mito flashed in his mind, the girl's smile, the girl's kiss, the girl's anger, The girl's sadness... An indestructible light gradually gathered in his eyes.

"In order...to prevent the cherished people from being harmed." The boy's words echoed across the peaceful river.

The author has something to say: Following the guidance of fate, both good gay friends and good Ji friends met.

☆, Aunt Minako's episode

——Whoever they saved, fell in love with, and killed, for them, they couldn't control them at all.

[-]

The heavy rain poured down, forming a shallow pool on the cliff.Two huge stones fell on the cliff, obviously cut off from the middle by someone.

Lightning passed by, and three figures appeared on the cliff.The girl kneeling on the ground, the boy in the girl's arms, and the boy who came in a hurry but didn't dare to take a step closer.

"Brother... Is the Uchiha really a ruthless family?" The girl's face was wet, water slipped from her cheeks, and dripped on the face of the boy in her arms, I don't know if it was tears or rain.

"...The one who died should have been mine...you idiot, why did you come here...Obviously...Obviously we have nothing to do with each other..." The long hair wet by the rain stuck to the girl's face, making people look I don't know her expression.

"Brother, I will marry Qianshou according to the arrangement of the clan... I will not fight any more..."

Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the girl's face for a moment, cold and dead, just like this rain.

[-]

The battlefield is what makes a man famous.

Minako knows this very well, because she was awarded the title "Mizuhime" on the battlefield.Few people may know the name Uzumaki Minako, but few people do not know the name "Mizuhime" who is famous for her healing and sealing skills.

However, no matter how powerful a person is, there are times when he stumbles.

Coincidentally, Minako personally verified this sentence today.Conspired by the enemy, Minako, who was alone and seriously injured, threw off the pursuer with the rest of her strength and hid in a hidden cave.Excessive blood loss and exhausted physical strength made her almost faint, but her strong restraint kept her awake.

Taking a pill from her pocket and swallowing it, Minako leaned against the stone wall and gasped.The cave was quiet, only the sound of Minako's own breathing.Waves of drowsiness flooded her mind, she knew she couldn't hold on for long, so she set up a simple sealing formation at the entrance of the cave, and Minako no longer restrained herself, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Minako was awakened by a slight noise.Before she opened her eyes to see what was going on, a hand covered her mouth.

The seal array was broken? !

Minako's heart turned cold, but her thoughts soon recovered, and she planned to wait and see what happened.

In the dim environment, Minako couldn't see the person in front of her clearly, but she could smell the strong smell of blood on the person - the owner of this hand seemed to be seriously injured.

"Don't be nervous, I just borrow your medicine."

Minako nodded to show that she understood.

[-]

Minako didn't know which family the other party belonged to, and there was no family emblem embroidered on his clothes.

"You've been staring at me, you can't be... falling in love with me, right?!" The boy who was roasting hares suddenly turned his head to look at Minako, with a teasing expression on his face.

"Hmph." Minako turned her head to ignore him.

No matter which family this guy belongs to, in short, he has an unpleasant feeling all over his body, especially his character.

While biting the roasted rabbit handed over by the other party, Minako casually asked, "Which family do you belong to?"

"I'm just a little-known person, and I'm nothing compared to the 'Shui Ji' who dominated the battlefield."

"You...know me?" Minako paused when she bit the rabbit meat.

"How could I not know that you are so famous, but... I don't know your real name. I wonder... if I have this honor."

Minako looked down at the rabbit in her hand, she turned the stick around, and then muttered in a very low voice.

"Minako...my name."

"Oh?" The boy was taken aback for a moment, and then he showed a big smile, "Hi, Minako, my name is Linya."

[-]

Under the effect of Minako's pills and medical skills, their injuries healed quickly.

That day, both of their injuries were almost healed.Walking out of the cave, the sun shines on the body through the gaps in the leaves, warm.

"Looks like it's time to say goodbye!" Lin also stretched a lot.

"Yeah." Minako nodded.

"Anyway, thank you for your treatment these few days. If I have the chance to meet again, I will pay back your medical expenses~" Lin also patted Minako on the shoulder, "Then, goodbye."

After speaking, Lin also took the lead to leave the spot.

Glancing at Rinya who disappeared into the depths of the forest, Minako also turned and left in another direction.

"Who wants you to pay back the money..."

０５

Before Minako entered Uzushio Village, she was hugged tightly by a figure who rushed out suddenly.

"Minako, what happened? Why are you coming back now? Have you been ambushed? Are you injured?"

Looking at the nervously questioning young man, Minako said helplessly, "Brother, I'm fine, my injury has healed long ago."

Minako's older brother, Uzumaki Tatsuta, is still worried.

"The external injury is healed, but the internal injury may not be healed yet, Minako, hurry up and ask me to check."

"Brother," Minako said with a look of "lost to you", "You also know my medical skills, it's better to let you check it than I do it myself."

"Haha," Uzumaki Tatsuta scratched his head embarrassedly, "Minako, I just..."

"You just care too much about me." Minako continued Tatsuta's words, "I know all about it. Okay, let's go in quickly! I have to report to my father."

０６

Minako didn't expect to meet Lin Ye again so soon, and it was on an occasion that she didn't even dare to think about.

"Uchiha..."

Minako looked at the boy in front of her in shock, she was also in a daze, she didn't notice the attack of a Uchiha next to her.

"Bang—" the knife collided with the knife, and Lin, who also found Minako, also moved to her side to block her.

"Master Linya, this is... ah!" Before that Uchiha finished speaking, Lin finished him with a single blow.

"I have paid you back the medical expenses owed to you."

What are you kidding...

what medical bills...

She... She actually saved a Uchiha and didn't know it? !

The humiliation of being deceived made Minako punch Linya, "Boom—" with a loud noise, the place where Linya was originally standing collapsed into ruins.

……

The black lines of the sealing technique crawled up Lin Ye's arm, and his movements froze.

Taking advantage of this gap, Minako drew out the short knife at her waist and stabbed him in the heart, but just when the tip of the knife was about to touch Linya, Minako's hand moved down a little bit inconspicuously.

"Hey——" blood gushed out.

Lin Ye clutched his injured left chest and stepped back.

"As expected of the Uzumaki Clan's sealing technique, it's really powerful..."

After admiring, Lin also took out a gun and threw it at Minako. "Bang—" Lin Ye disappeared into the smoke, leaving only Minako gnashing her teeth on the spot.

It's just... maybe even Minako herself didn't realize——

Her knife could have killed Uchiha Rinya.

０７

"Minako, you...why didn't you kill him?"

Minako was startled by Uzumaki's words, she twitched the corners of her mouth, trying to pretend not to care.

"Ah Jing, what are you talking about...how could I..."

"But, this is what I saw." Uzumaki didn't allow Minako to escape.

Minako stopped pounding the medicine.

Looking at the silent Minako, Uzumaki quietly sighed.

"You should be glad it's just me—so, what the hell is going on?"

"...I won't be soft next time."

Minako's determination did not reassure Uzumaki, she shook her head and persuaded: "Maybe you won't. Minako, we can't control our emotions, and that will interfere with our judgment. The decision we make now depends on the time you meet." It can disappear in an instant, so—the best way is to disappear forever."

０８

Wei Weijing never thought that her words would actually come true in the end, and all this was triggered by one thing, which made her choose to leave Wei Chao Chao Village in the end.

……

In the room of the head of the whirlpool clan.

"Minako has someone she likes!" Uzumaki patriarch said with his back to his son.

Longtian was startled, he didn't know how to answer his father's sudden question.

The son's silence did not arouse the dissatisfaction of the whirlpool patriarch, he has already seen everything.

"...and that person is Uchiha."

"Father, Minako, she..." Thinking of the relationship between Uzumaki, Senju and Uchiha... Tatsuta could no longer maintain his composure.

"You don't have to be nervous, Minako is also my daughter," Uzumaki patriarch raised his hand to calm Tatsuta down, "Besides... there is nothing wrong with Minako."

"Father, what do you mean?" Longtian was very confused by his father's words, but the words that came immediately after the whirlpool patriarch made Longtian feel cold all over his body.

"We need to marry Qianshou to maintain the relationship between the two clans, but this relationship cannot be too close. As one of the most powerful two clans in the world, the elders will feel that it is beneficial to form an alliance with Qianshou, but they don't know this at all. The stakes in it... We are directly related to a secret, we can't say it but we have to try our best to do it..."

"Father?" Longtian didn't understand why his father said these words.

"Let Minako marry Senju!" Uzumaki patriarch said his plan, "A daughter of Uzumaki patriarch who fell in love with Uchiha can not only block the mouths of the elders, but also make Uzumaki and Senju's Not too close."

"You want to abandon Minako?! You can't do that!" Tatsuta trembled with excitement.

"I can! Because - I am the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan." The Uzumaki patriarch interrupted his son sharply.

Ryuta was speechless.

Looking at his father who turned away and left, Longtian only felt a deep sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart.

Why... why did it become like this... Is this really the father who Zeng Jin said "I will protect you"?Why can you abandon your daughter without hesitation?Just because...she fell in love with someone from the Uchiha clan?

What are you kidding...

０９

Continuously collapsing cliffs... Countless boulders falling from the sky... A figure that suddenly appeared...

Blood... lots and lots of blood...

Oh, why do I feel a lot of blood?Obviously, I have seen more blood than this on the battlefield, why...

Why do I feel scared?

Looking at the sticky blood on her hands and clothes, Minako felt at a loss... What is going on?

The next moment, the interface between the body and the mind seemed to be finally aligned, and the memory came back. Minako felt some liquid flowing out of her eye sockets uncontrollably. She wanted to wipe it with her hand, but she couldn't move.

A bloody hand tremblingly lifted up, caressing her side face, blood, tears, rain mixed together, sticky, sticking to her face, very uncomfortable...

"Don't cry...cough cough...I didn't rush here to see your sad face...that would be too bad..." Uchiha Lin also managed to pull out a relaxed smile, trembling His hands seemed to want to touch something, but they couldn't support it, and slid down from Minako's cheeks.

Minako panicked, her body was finally able to move, her left hand quickly reached out to hold Lin Ye's hand, and covered her cheek again, while her right hand continued to heal Lin Ye with chakra.

"Ahem... this is the first time you have taken the initiative... I should be happy... or... cough..." Lin also wanted to say something, but the blood that kept gushing from his throat stopped him if.

"...Why don't you speak...I finally came to see you..."

Minako opened her mouth slightly, but her vocal cords seemed to be broken, and she couldn't make any sound.

"...cough cough...forget it...I'm already very...happy...to meet you..."

Lin Ye's hand slipped from Minako's palm, and Minako's fingers trembled, but she couldn't grasp it no matter what.

"Hey……"

She finally found her voice.

"Hey... don't scare me..."

Minako shook the person in her arms lightly, but got no response, and the Chakra injected into the other person's body also didn't respond at all like a bottomless pit.

"Boom—"

There was a clatter of thunder, and then, heavy rain poured down, and the rain mixed with blood flowed from Minako's feet to a further place...

Ten

Minako woke up from the dream, blinked, and then blinked again, confirming that she was now in Senshou Station, she twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.

"I didn't expect to dream about something that happened so long ago..."

Standing up and pushing open the window, the cherry trees in the yard bloomed again.When the breeze blows, the pink petals will fall to the window.Stretching out her hand to brush her hair that was blown by the wind behind her ear, Minako smiled in relief.

Today is the day when Senju and Uchiha form an alliance...

Reaching into her sleeve, Minako took out a broken comb.Gently stroking the crack on the comb, she sighed with emotion.

"We're all getting old..."

００

A ninja is a killing machine that does not reveal emotions, but does whatever it takes to achieve its goals and bury emotions.

But ah...

For them,

who I saved, who I fell in love with, who I killed,

It is simply out of control.

Yes, they... no, we, are not and will not be tools at all.
