The leaves are fluttering

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

——If one day your painting style is wrong, don’t worry, I will definitely beat you back to normal, don’t thank me, I’m a good person!

In the woods outside the camp, Mito is picking herbs for hemostatic medicine and herbs for sex.Squatting down, Mito carefully took off the useful parts of the herbal medicine and put them in his carry-on bag.

Almost all the herbs in this area have been picked, and Mito went to look for them a little further away.When she squatted next to a herb and was about to remove its stems and leaves, an alarm bell suddenly rang in her heart.Without the slightest hesitation, Mito left the spot as quickly as possible and retreated towards the camp.

"Shua—" The sound of clothes brushing against the leaves, Mito's way was blocked by several people, and she had to stop.

The Yuyi Clan...

Seeing the clan emblems on the clothes of several people clearly, Mito lowered his body slightly, and quietly stretched his right hand behind his back, making a defensive and offensive posture.

"The red hair... isn't Senshou but Uzumaki?" The person directly opposite Mito frowned, "...Be careful of her sealing technique."

After finishing speaking, the man drew his sword and attacked Mito.When the opponent's sword was about to touch her shoulder, Mito dodged the attack sideways. At the same time, she stretched out her right hand behind her back and drew out a seal talisman to stick it on the face of the enemy who was attacking from the right at the same time.The movement of the enemy on the right was blocked, Mito swept his left leg and knocked him to the ground.

With his left hand on the ground, Mito's right hand condensed the Chakra scalpel across the left enemy's ankle, and the enemy with his hamstring severed fell to his knees.Then, with the recoil of the ground, Mito jumped into the air, and the chakra scalpel in her right hand sliced ​​across the carotid artery of the next enemy.Supporting the shoulders of the enemy who did not fall down, Mito turned over while accumulating strength with his right hand, and after turning his body upright, he punched the enemy in the face in front of him.Under the action of force, the man was knocked to the ground and sank deep into a deep pit in the ground.

The road ahead was cleared, and Mito jumped forward without fighting.Seeing that Mito had escaped, the remaining members of the Yuyi clan wanted to chase after him, but their mobility seemed to be imprisoned by something.

"Damn it... sealing technique, when?!" Looking at the seal pattern that appeared on the ground at some unknown time, the remaining few people could only watch Mito's figure disappear among the trees, but they could do nothing.

……

When Mito was in distress, Minako who was staying in the camp received news that some members of the clan encountered a sneak attack from the Yuyi clan in the forest.Worried about Mito's safety, Minako went out to look for Mito, but instead of meeting Mito, she met an unexpected person.

Minako carefully observed the traces of the surrounding soil, and made sure that no one had been here before, and she was about to stand up.However, just when she raised her eyes and saw the person who appeared across from her at some point, her movements froze, and cold sweat rolled down her forehead.

Sharingan... Illusion!

Before Minako could react, the woman put away Sharingan.

"The illusion bounces back! He actually...will protect you even if he dies!" With a pale face, the woman said harshly.

"... Uchiha Rie, why are you here?" Hearing what the woman said, Mizunako's expression was not good.

"Uchiha? Hehe...I'm not a Uchiha person..." Uchiha Rie chuckled, "You ask me why I'm here...that's because I want to see how well you're living '..."

"...Your husband died on the battlefield not long after you married...'Mizuhime' who once dominated the battlefield today has never been able to fight after marrying... Minako Uzumaki, this is retribution, this is all It's because you are facing Lin also..."

"Uchiha Rie!" Before Uchiha Rie finished speaking, Minako shouted, "Even if you don't like me, it doesn't mean you can slander me casually... Please remember, the current me is Senju Minako."

"Slander? Minako, don't forget how Lin died. He did it for..."

The three kunai that suddenly flew from behind interrupted Uchiha Rie's words, and Uchiha Rie jumped away from where she was standing.

"Auntie." Following the landing of the three kunai, Mito's figure appeared in front of Minako.

"Auntie? Is this little girl the daughter of the Uzumaki Clan's chief?" Uchiha Rie's voice was disdainful, "Minako, do you think you can win me over with this little girl and you?"

"Mito, she is a member of the Uchiha clan. Her Sharingan has already opened Sangoudama. She used to be as famous as me on the battlefield." Minako ignored Uchiha Rie's words, but asked Mito introduced the opponent's information, "In a moment, I will assist you by the side, is it okay?"

"No problem." Saying that, Mito's body jumped forward.

"Clang—" The sword and Kunai collided, and the figures of Mito and Uchiha Rie intertwined at a speed that ordinary people could not capture.Although Mito's talent is excellent, the age gap and battle experience cannot be compensated by talent. Naturally, Uchiha Rie's strength is higher than Mito's.However, there was Minako standing aside who didn't make a move, Uchiha Rie had to be distracted to pay attention to her, and the outcome was hard to tell for a while.

After fighting for a period of time, Uchiha Rie understood that it would be bad for her to continue like this. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to deal with Mito first.No longer distracted by Minako, Uchiha Rie's attack became more fierce.Quickly dodging Uchiha Rie's attack, Mito's body was left with countless small knife wounds, and blood dripped to the ground with her movements.

Mito once again flashed Uchiha Rie's sword, but the accident also happened at this moment.In order to avoid the knife, Mito jumped into the air. At this time, she has no leverage point, so she will definitely fall somewhere on the ground.It was precisely this calculation that Uchiha Rie's knife was just a bait, but she had already gone there in an instant and waited for Mito to take the bait.Realizing that she had been tricked, Mito could only use her waist to try to make her body deviate from the original track, but she knew that even so she would be seriously injured.

Just when Uchiha Rie felt that the winning ticket was in her hands, her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly retreated away from Mito.Mito, who landed safely, breathed a sigh of relief, with Kunaigo in her hand in front of her, she paid more careful attention to Uchiha Rie's every move.

hateful!Cursing inwardly, Uchiha Rie looked over Mito and landed on Minako.Just now she clearly felt that Minako was about to make a move. Now it seems that Minako just made a fake move, otherwise, how could nothing have happened... Then why didn't Minako make a move?Could it be that……

His eyes darkened, and Uchiha Rie's figure disappeared in place.In this fight, Uchiha Rie, who seemed to have discovered something, no longer had any worries.Without adapting to Uchiha Rie's sudden and rapid offensive, Mito had a hard time coping.Once again, the kunai collided with the sword, and Mito was swept away by Uchiha Rieren and the kunai, and hit a boulder not far away.

"Mito!" Seeing Mito flying out, Minako subconsciously wanted to run over, but when she thought that there was a tricky Uchiha Rie, she stopped in her tracks.

"Minako, I've said it a long time ago, you still..." Looking at the panic-stricken Minako, Uchiha Rie walked towards her step by step with a sneer on her lips.

"...No, you are wrong." After calming down, Minako said to Uchiha Rie.

"I was wrong? Don't you still..." Before Uchiha Rie finished speaking, her body suddenly choked, and strange black lines suddenly climbed up her body.

"You?! When..." Uchiha Rie looked at Minako incredulously, but she seemed to understand something in the next moment, she turned her gaze to Mito's direction, "It's that little girl... those dripping Blood……"

"Minako...you've changed...you'll rely on a child...if he knew..." Uchiha Rie, who was blocked by the sealing formation, stared at Minako.Before Uchiha Rie finished speaking, Minako pierced her heart with Kunai.

After solving Uchiha Rie, Minako ran to Mito, helped her up and treated her.

"Auntie..." Mito looked at Minako who was healing herself, and asked softly, "Are you... can't use the sealing technique?"

"Yes...for some reason...but it was a long time ago." Apparently, Minako didn't want to say anything more.

After basic treatment, Minako and Mito stood up and planned to go back to the camp.When they passed Uchiha Rie's body, Minako stopped suddenly.

"...people will change, the only difference is...whether...it becomes the way you like...or the way you hate." After staring at Uchiha Rie silently for a while, Minako murmured, not knowing her Did she answer Uchiha Rie's question just now, or was she talking to Mito, or...she was just talking to herself.

"Auntie..." This was the first time Mito saw Minako like this.

"Let's go back, Mito..."

Inside a camp of the Thousand Hands Clan camp.

The medicine pestle hit the bottom of the medicine bowl again and again, and it could be seen that the medicine grinder was absent-minded.Ever since she got rid of the raiders of the Yuyi clan and returned to the camp, Mito has been immersed in her own thoughts. No matter what she does, she relies on her body's instinctive reaction, and she has no consciousness at all.

"Mito!" Hashirama's voice came before the person came in.

"Mito, I heard that you were attacked by the Yuyi clan, are you alright?" Hashirama quickly ran to Mito's side.

"...an annoying person..." Mito didn't notice Hashirama's arrival.She frowned slightly, and turned around while continuing to pound the medicine mechanically, "...the one you like..."

the person I like? !Hearing what Mito said clearly, Hashirama was startled, and an indescribable emotion surged into his heart.He didn't know what it felt like, but his heart was filled with panic.

"Mito, you..." Hashirama reached out to hold Mito, whose back was facing him.

"Ah! Hashirama when did you come?" Finally realizing Hashirama's existence, Mito turned and looked at him apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something, so..."

"Ahaha, it's okay! By the way, Mito, you just said 'someone you like'. I didn't expect Mito to have someone you like. Who is so lucky to get Mito's favor? It must be someone A very powerful person, right? Is he a member of our clan?" Hahaha laughed, and Hashirama tried his best to show a casual look, but in fact, he had already cursed in his heart: Damn!Which guy abducted my Mito? !As Mito's best friend, I didn't even know!No, when I know who it is, I must check carefully to see if that kid is worthy of my best friend!

Looking at Hashirama who obviously misunderstood, Mito explained to Hashirama while thinking "I didn't expect this guy to be so gossip".After listening to Mito's explanation, Hashirama put away his smile, and he sat on the side with his head bowed in thought.

"Well...how should I put it...Actually, I don't really understand...But, no matter who you are, you should hope that you can become what you like!" Hashirama raised his head and looked at Mito seriously, "I also hope that in the future I can become what I like... If I become what I hate... Mito, can you please punch me awake?"

"...What if I also become someone I hate?"

"That's very simple! Let's wake each other up!"

"How dare you say that! Hitting a girl or something..." After hearing what Hashirama said, Mito crossed his arms and looked at him unhappily.

"Um...it seems not very good... I would be reluctant to hit Mito!" Hashirama scratched her head embarrassedly.

"...But, I will definitely stand in front of you and say it out loud." Hashirama looked at Mito seriously, his black eyes flashed with a firm light, and for a moment, Mito lost his mind.

When she came back to her senses, Mito turned her head to the side, she blushed slightly.

This guy really dares to say anything...
