Chapter 81

"It's coming."

Uzumaki Ashina and Uzumaki Mito standing in front of him also looked at Tsuruma and Senju Deed who had just entered the house, and it was obvious that it wasn't just Tsuruma who sensed their chakra.

The Uzumaki clan are also extremely good at perception.

The whirlpool in front of Mito has changed a lot from three years ago, and girls develop earlier than boys, and Mito himself is taller than his peers.

So her whole body looked quite tall, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at the pillars, as if she recognized him.

But in fact, the pillars didn't leave much impression on her back then.

However, at this time, Mito was looking at the pillars for other reasons, to be exact.

"Look..."

The pillar itself is not particularly used to being stared at all the time, but if the other party is a cute and beautiful little girl, you can bear with it.

However, he hadn't forgotten what he was doing here, so his main focus was on Uzumaki Ashina.

He bowed his head slightly with the Thousand Hands Deed as a sign of respect.

Ashina smiled and got up, it seems that the original work describes that the people of the Uzumaki clan are generally hot-tempered, but as the patriarch, he is quite gentle.

"You're the pillar, aren't you?"

"Hmm."

Tsuruma nodded, and with the identity of Uzumaki Ashina, of course, he could know that he was the eldest son of the patriarch of the Thousand Hands Clan.

Although it wasn't the first time he had seen Tsuruma in the strict sense, the situation three years ago was too urgent, and Uzumaki Ashina probably didn't know that the child in the reinforcement team was the eldest son of the Thousand-Armed Buddha.

But this time is different, obviously when the pillar and the Thousand Hands Deed arrived, the Buddha had already greeted him in advance.

And Mito, who was standing on the side, looked at the pillars with even more puzzled eyes, why the patriarch paid special attention to him, but it was not the obviously stronger Thousand Hands Deed around the pillars.

The identity of the eldest son of the patriarch of the Thousand Hands Clan in the Pillar is also somewhat useful in the Thousand Hands Clan, so although it is not a secret, Uzumaki Ashina will not be able to take it out casually.

After all, it doesn't have much to do with this mission.

After a little greeting, Uzumaki Ashina also cut to the chase, he looked at Mito, and introduced to Tsuruma and Senju Contract: "Her name is Uzumaki Mito, although she is still very young, her attainments in sealing and enchantment techniques are first-class, and her own mobility ability is also quite good. ”

"It's up to her to assist you in this mission."

"Mito, do you remember what I just told you?"

"Yes!"

Mito's eyes were always on the pillars, but when the patriarch asked, of course, she immediately bowed her head back.

"Thank you so much."

Senju said that the handover with Uzumaki Ashina naturally had to come from him, after all, he was the person in charge of this mission.

He also glanced at Mito, and there was no mood swing in his eyes.

Although Mito doesn't seem to be very old, in fact, in this Warring States period, there are not a few ninjas who are as old as Mito who are in charge alone.

"I'm a Thousand Hands Deed."

Immediately afterward, Senjutsu introduced himself, although it seemed that before he and Tsuruma arrived, Uzumaki Ashina had already explained the mission and their information to Uzumaki Mito in front of him.

"Hello."

Mito replied politely, and then Pillar was about to speak, but was interrupted by the girl first: "I remember your name, Senju Pillar." ”

"You know?" Ashina was a little surprised.

Zhu Jian explained with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Actually, I was also there in the battle with the Night Moon and the others a few years ago. ”

Uzumaki Ashina suddenly understood, although he was the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan, but a ninja of the level of the current pillar naturally didn't need to know too much about his resume.

However, it was the Senju clan who helped the Uzumaki clan at that time, so Ashina still nodded slightly towards the pillars.

Pillar returned the salute and noticed that Mito was still staring at him, and his eyes didn't seem to be very kind.

He raised an eyebrow, already knowing roughly why Mito was reacting the way he did.

"Mito, do you have any questions?"

Uzumaki Ashina had already noticed something strange and looked at Mito and asked.

With a scrutinizing gaze and tone, Mito stared at the pillar and asked, "How old are you?" ”

"Sure enough...", Tsuruma whispered, and when he first met Mito, for some reason, he lied about his age.

While lamenting that Mito has a good memory, Pillar also began to sort out and analyze Mito's character.

This girl is very straightforward when talking to people, and seems to be disgusted by people deceiving her.

But he wondered why Mito knew he had lied.

Due to his physique, Tsuruma is taller than his peers, and although he is still a little shorter than a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, he remembers that Mito had already assumed that he was a short man who did not eat well last time.

Then there is only one possibility, said Uzumaki Ashina.

Can you just talk about the age of a boy?

For the pillar who was reborn in this world, from the perspective of the real experience year, Mito is just a little girl, with his psychological quality, how can he be affected by anything?

Then, Pillar replied a little nervously, "Quick... Nine years old. ”

The question and answer between Pillar and Mito made Uzumaki Ashina and Senju a little stunned, but they probably heard the reason from Mito's words.

"Oh."

Originally, according to Tsuruma's judgment, Mito's personality would be angry after confirming that she had been deceived, but then she just murmured lightly.

So, the pillars were confused.

He was ready to be questioned.

What's going on?

"It's getting late, so rest for the night before you go."

Uzumaki Ashina spoke at this time.

"Thank you, that's not necessary, wait... Let's go when she's ready."

However, although he was confused, he did not abandon his principles, and although the time of the operation this time was not urgent, it was better to end the task of this level as soon as possible.

It's just that in the end, he doesn't know how to call Mito, and it seems awkward to call him by his full name, and it's not appropriate to call him by his name directly.

"Understood."

Uzumaki Ashina smiled, and then said to Mito, "Go ahead, we'll wait for you here." ”

Mito nodded and went to prepare.

Usually women and girls need to take a long time to prepare when they go out, but female ninjas don't, and Mito quickly packed up, tied her hair up with a headband, and changed into the outfit for the mission.

Then the Thousand Hands Deed and the Pillar said goodbye to Uzumaki Ashina, and quickly shuttled through the village of the Uzumaki clan, and left.

After leaving the Vortex Clan, the group of three made a quick journey along the island.

This is an island of Vortex no Kuni, and of course it is led by Mito.

Originally, they could leave the mainland of the Vortex Country before dark at their speed, but the rest of the journey could no longer be carried by boat, and they had to walk on the sea, so when night fell, the three of them spent the night in the forest on the coast on the other side of the island.

A bonfire was lit, and the three of them, who hadn't communicated much along the way, sat around.

Suddenly, Mito came to the side of the pillar.

The delicate little face was very close, and the pillars looked sideways, and I felt a little nervous inexplicably.

Because he thought that Mito was here to be held accountable, but it was just that he was not good at it because he was in front of Uzumaki Ashina.

"Speaking of which, your chakra fluctuations don't look like you're only about nine years old."

Mito just said it naturally, and there was no anger on her fair cheeks that she had deceived her with her age.

It's like the pillar himself cares too much.

When I first learned that I had been deceived, I looked very angry.

But Mito is not angry, and of course the pillars with adult thinking are not too entangled.

He looked at the innocent face of the girl close to him, and the eyes that were clear, as if there would never be any distractions, and smiled lightly in his heart.

"It's... What a character to jump out of. ”
