Chapter 67: Mask of Death
After a meal, the awkward ambiguity dissipated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the three of them have returned to the warmth and plainness of the past.
Tsunade goes to work at the hospital, goes to school on Silence, and Aki stays at home to train and cook.
Akihara enjoys this plain and warm life. But Kaguya always haunted him, making him keep looking for it.
If he doesn't pursue it, it will be his lifelong obsession. At the very least, there must be a result. Whether the result is satisfactory to him or not.
Now all the books of the Uchiha clan of Konoha Village, the Hyuga clan, and the Thousand Hands clan have been read by Akihara. Now all that is left are the large and small families, and the Vortex clan.
Of course, the Uzumaki clan Konoha is now the only one left with Uzumaki Kushina. Whether there are books and materials in storage. Akihara didn't know.
When Tsunade returned from work, Akihara had already cooked the meal. The two sat and chatted.
"Tsunade, do you have any books or locations from the Uzumaki clan in Konoha or something?"
Tsunade said, "Yes, on the edge of Konoha Village. At the beginning, the Uzumaki Noodle Hall was established, and there were many masks and books in it. Where did I go when I was a kid?"
Isn't this where Orochimaru took the mask of death! Akihara then asked, "Where can I get in?"
Tsunade replied, "Where was the key to grandma's before, I guess it should have been given to Kushina now." We'll go find her tomorrow. I haven't seen her in more than ten days. ”
Akihara replied, "Okay, let's go and have a look." ”
The next day, Akihara and Tsunade went to Kushina's house. As a result, after knocking on the door for a long time, a lazy figure appeared in front of the two of them. Sleepy-eyed, looking like he had just woken up.
"Cousin, why are you here. Hurry on in. ”
Kushina looked very flustered, and sure enough, he came to the room. Tsunade turned on the didactic mode. "You said you're a 16-year-old girl. It's still so out of tune. Look at the house, how messy it is. Clothes, socks, ninja suits, littered everywhere. It's eight o'clock in the morning, why are you still sleeping? Look at you, don't eat breakfast......"
An hour later, Akihara held his chin in his hands and quietly watched Tsunade preach. Like a little girl who has made a mistake, she endures criticism with her head down.
"Give you ten minutes to clean up the house. Pajamas were also changed. Then stand in front of me. ”
Jiu Sinai was relieved and fled in a hurry. Akihara laughed out loud and said to Tsunade, "I didn't expect you to be very majestic as an elder!"
Tsunade said: "Kushina has been displaced since he was a child, and he has been chased and fled. After coming to Konoha, my grandmother passed away again. It's quite lonely to be alone. I don't care about her relationship, I don't know how she's going to live. ”
Akihara said, "Where was the last time I saw her in Jiraiya?"
Tsunade said, "She's in love with Jiraiya's apprentice." ”
The two chatted for a few minutes, and Kushina came out dressed as a ninja. Akihara looked at a very beautiful little girl.
After the two accompanied Kushina out for breakfast, Tsunade asked Kushina, "Is the key to the Uzumaki Shrine with you?"
Uzumaki Kushina nodded.
"Akihara wants to go and see it, can you?"
She had a good impression of Akihara, and agreed without thinking about it. The three of them chatted as they walked, and Akihara and Kushina also became familiar with each other.
So he asked, "Do you still have the history books of the Uzumaki clan?"
Kushina replied, "I don't, but there seem to be a few books in the Uzumaki Shrine." But what I haven't seen is? Probably not something important. ”
Indeed, if it's ninjutsu or something. It has long been collected by Konoha. And wait until they see it.
The three of them arrived at the Uzumaki Noodle Hall, which was a separate courtyard. The location is very remote, and no one will pass through here for a year. Unless they specifically come and look for it, like they do.
There was a lock hanging from the door, and Kushina took out the key to open it. The three walked in.
In front of Akibara's eyes, there is a high wooden platform. Above the platform is an arched wooden wall with various masks hanging from the wall. There are 27 in total. The masks come in all shapes and colors, and they look very scary. There is no image that belongs to humanity.
On the left and right sides of the courtyard, there is a small cabin. The three of them walked into the wooden house on the left first.
The inside was like a normal house, and Akihara searched inside. Nothing. Then I came to the room on the right. Akihara discovers that it is a study. There are a lot of bookshelves. But now the shelves are empty, and there are only a few books.
Akihara took them down and patted them off the dust and looked at them.
It is rumored that in ancient times, there was a god called the god of death, who ruled the Pure Land of Bliss. After your death, the place where the soul returns, the Pure Land of Bliss, the land of peace......
Akihara watched quietly from the side, and after a while, Tsunade slapped Akihara. He said to him, "Don't look at it, go back and look again." ”
Akihara nodded in agreement. The three of them came to the high platform. The wooden walls were covered with masks, their hideous shapes, their eyes fixed on everyone who looked at it. Akihara stood in front of the wall, as if he had 27 pairs of eyes looking straight at him.
"Tsunade, Kushina. Do you feel it from any angle? The mask's eyes seem to be looking straight at us. ”
Kushina shouted, "Ahhh
A chill surged into the hearts of the three of them, this kind of thing was too weird. Akihara asked, "Do you know what these noodles do?"
Uzumaki Shinkina said, "I've heard Grandma Mito mention that one of these masks can communicate with death. Everything else is for cover. If you make the wrong choice, all the masks will disappear. ”
Hearing this, Akihara began to test with chakra. As a result, the same power (tentatively named the power of the contract) can be felt on each covering. It felt a lot like the power of his blood pact.
The power perceived with the chakra is the same, there is no difference at all. Akihara was curious about how Orochimaru managed to find out the real Grim Reaper mask from inside.
This strange place was really uncomfortable, and the three of them didn't stay long, came out and locked the door, and left in a hurry.
After strolling around the shopping street, the three of them went straight back to Tsunade's house. Akihara was curious about what kind of existence the Grim Reaper was, so he asked Kushina.
"Does the Grim Reaper really exist?"
A little out of tune, Kushinai became serious, and then she said, "Death really exists!" When I was a child, I heard my mother say that 300 years ago, the ancestors of the Uzumaki clan inadvertently touched the Grim Reaper. After that, he signed a contract with the Grim Reaper to make a deal. After sacrificing a life, you can use the power of the god of death. At that time, a sealing technique was created, called the Ghoul Seal. I haven't seen it though. ”
Akihara looked at Tsunade, and she shook her head to say she hadn't heard of it.
