Shadow Stream of Leaf

Hatake Sakumo scrupulously patrolled the front line, guarding against enemies that might appear at any time, but when his eyes turned to the sea, he was a little lost in thought.

His vacation wasn't over yet, but it didn't affect his mood. He was a ninja, and he knew the professional characteristics of a ninja. However, he didn't know why Hanyu and Zikou Uzumaki hurried back to Konoha.

It stands to reason that as a frontline commander, Hanyu returned to the village so anxiously, then something major must have happened in the village, but Hatake has been staying in the village for a while, and he lived peacefully during his vacation. I didn't notice any major problems with Konoha.

To be honest, this kind of behavior made Hatake a little ashamed, even though it was a variety of reasons that led him to do so.

However, before Hanyu left the front line, when the two sides handed over, they still sent heartfelt blessings, and such blessings lingered in Hatake's mind for a long time.

"I don't know your wife well, but I promise your son is amazing."

Hatake's eyes were stained with the color of the sea, which made him a little melancholy... No matter how I thought about it, I felt that this sentence was a bit logical.

However, if the word order is adjusted, the logical problem will disappear, but it will become a moral problem again... Then Hatake should not look at the sea but at the grassland.

In short, let's write a letter home, right as a reminder.

And just when Hatake was upset by Hanyu's not-so-funny joke, Hanyu and Uzumaki Zikou had already returned to Konoha.

He didn't take a break, nor did he report to the Third Hokage, but came directly to Kageliu.

"Go straight to the point... What is the specific situation?"

It was rare for Hanyu not to talk nonsense, he just asked Muxiang who came over to report the situation very directly.

"Yes, Master Hanyu.

A few days ago, Mito-sama's Nine-Tails were a little restless, but before we were about to intervene, Mito-sama took the first step to suppress the commotion of Nine-Tails, so far the situation has temporarily re-stabilized. "Mu Xiang explained what happened before as concisely as possible.

This is why Hanyu was recalled.

In Konoha, Kyuubi's control and "inheritance", and the replacement of Jinchuriki have been defaulted by the third Hokage as the main work of Kageryu.

"It's just like that?" Such an explanation made Hanyu secretly heave a sigh of relief, "Although Mito-sama's chakra is getting weaker as she grows older, Kyuubi's struggle is inevitable, but... now The Kyuubi has already been weakened to a considerable extent, and Mito-sama should still be at an advantage."

His words hinted at something, but it was not necessary to clearly explain in front of Muxiang that Kyuubi had been divided... That plan has not yet been fully revealed.

So Mu Xiang didn't know what the so-called Nine Tails had been weakened to a considerable extent, but she didn't ask... A ninja wouldn't inquire about things she shouldn't know.

However, things are not as optimistic as Hanyu said, otherwise he would not have been recalled to the village.

Mu Xiang gritted her teeth, and then continued, "At present, Mito-sama has changed her residence, she moved away from the central area of ​​Konoha, and now lives in the outermost part of the village close to the forest.

In terms of security, the ninjas of the shadow stream and the Anbu of the fourth team are in charge... This was requested by Mito-sama himself, and then got the acquiescence of the third Hokage. "

These words made Hanyu stop walking towards the base, and he stood where he was.

The transfer of location is enough to explain many problems. Since Uzumaki Mito took the initiative to make such a request, it at least shows that she no longer has the absolute confidence to suppress the nine tails in her body. She left the densely populated area and lived alone on the edge of the village. Worrying about the unexpected.

In case Kyuubi gets out of control, at least limit the scope of its damage... Konoha's handling of Jinchuriki who is in danger of losing control is really "as usual".

But this is something Mito Uzumaki requested on his own initiative, and Hanyu has nothing to say.

"I'll go see Mito-sama first."

"Master Hanyu, I will lead the way for you."

Mu Xiang was in front, Hanyu then turned around and walked outwards, while Uzumaki Zikou followed closely behind him.

A group of people left the base in a hurry, and soon came to a secluded house under the shade of trees.

There are a large number of Uzumaki ninjas guarding here, and at least three layers of barriers have been opened in this area from the outside to the inside, and the defense can be described as very tight.

Naturally, Hanyu would not encounter any obstacles, he went straight to the front of the house.

After the observation just now, although he didn't communicate with each other, he found at least eight of the thirteen incense guards here. If Mu Xiang and Zi Kou were counted, there would be a total of ten people.

Together with other Uzumaki ninjas and Anbu ninjas, this small area is densely packed with at least 50 ninjas, which is not to be underestimated.

As for Uzumaki Mito at the center of the incident, Hanyu also quickly saw her. Compared to the tense atmosphere around, Mito herself looked relaxed. She was sitting on a chair basking in the sun, holding a black cat in her arms... Well, which cat is this Hanyu? Nature knows it all, it doesn't matter.

"Mito-sama..." Hanyu walked forward quickly.

"It's a bit too exaggerated," Uzumaki Mito didn't get up, she just slightly raised her head, indicating the direction where the ninjas are the most, "It's not that far yet, let's remove half of the ninjas guarding here."

Hanyu thought about it for a while, and decided to obey Uzumaki Mito's wish. He signaled to Muxiang to let her rearrange the defense.

Mu Xiang seemed to want to say something, but she didn't speak after all.

"It's indeed a bit too much." Hanyu said.

After confirming the state of Uzumaki Mito with his own eyes, Hanyu feels that the current situation is not that serious.

"I chose to change my place of residence just in case, but most people will get it wrong." Uzumaki Mito first shook her head, then turned her gaze to Hanyu's face, and asked, "Front line Has the matter been settled?"

"Yes, the war on the Eastern Front has basically been confirmed to have subsided."

"Well, in that case, it's a good thing for you to stay in Konoha during this period of time."

Hanyu looked at the withered palm that was habitually stroking the black cat's ribbon-like fur, and then looked at Uzumaki Mito's face, and found that before she knew it, her head was already full of white hair... the appearance of an old man It made him a little dazed, because in his memory, the red-haired Uzumaki Mito was still vivid in his memory.

It seems that a lot of time has passed without knowing it, but Hanyu has only noticed it until now.

"Mito-sama, Kyuubi...what's going on?" In the end, Hanyu still asked this question.

"The weakening of my chakra was as expected, it didn't accelerate or fall like a cliff, but... after my chakra weakened a little, the reaction of the nine tails was unexpected-it was a bit manic, sometimes Trying to break through the seal all the time, and this only happened when I first became Jinjuriki.

So in order to suppress it, I need to be vigilant all the time, and it's quite exhausting... Even if my chakra is fine, I can't have the same energy as you young people. "Whirlpool Zikou tried to explain her current situation.

After hearing these words, Hanyu also understood what was going on, and frankly speaking, he did not expect this situation before.

The Chakra of Uzumaki Mito can still suppress Nine Tails, after all, it is one-eighth of Nine Tails, but the problem is that after this tailed beast sensed the weakening of her Chakra and the gradual loosening of her seal, it became abnormal Liven up.

The reason why the little fox is so mad, Hanyu can guess after thinking about it, after all, it was hacked several times by Shengsheng.

It had no choice before, but now it has a chance, and it must want to make trouble and seek revenge on Mito and Konoha who cut it off.

Seeing Hanyu's eyebrows stained with worry, Uzumaki Mito just smiled slightly, and then said, "Don't worry, I can hold on for a while.

Whether it's good or bad, I've been with Kyuubi like this for countless years, and it's not yet the time for me to part with it. "

The achievement of suppressing the tailed beast, the sadness of being a Jinchuriki, and the last confidence of a ninja are all mixed in her words.

Hanyu has heard and seen some of Mito's experience, but his emotion and empathy are not enough for him to fully understand the other party.

Uzumaki Mito's life, only Uzumaki Mito himself knows best...

It is an unavoidable loneliness.
