Chapter 423: The Reflection of the Flames
Hanyu walked somewhere on the edge of the river, then crouched down, his right hand stretched out and gently brushed away a small pinch of mud and sand, and then lifted up a rotten and old necklace.
The red rope used to tie it around the neck had long since rotted and shattered, and the metal pendant below had also oxidized to the point of blackness.
This pendant should be an "abstract image" of some kind of animal, the lines are very simple, it should be a kind of peace and meaning, as for what kind of animal it is...... It could be a pig, it could be a tiger, but it doesn't matter.
Hanyu rubbed the object lightly with his fingers, and after three or two strokes, he rubbed off the oxide layer on it, revealing its true appearance. If you compare the photo in his hand, you can see that the image left on it and the real thing in Hanyu's hand are indeed the same thing.
"So don't wear a necklace if you have nothing to do, this kind of behavior is a particularly high-risk activity in this world......"
While wiping the dirt off his fingertips, Hanyu involuntarily muttered something like this.
"Hanyu-sama, what did you say?"
"It's nothing," Hanyu shook his head, then stood up, "This was just discovered today?" ”
"Yes, Hanyu-sama. And judging from the surrounding traces, this necklace should have been left here recently, because it doesn't look like it was thrown away three or four years ago and then turned out of the bottom of the river...... It's quite possible that the kid had been moved recently, so the clues were left.
We were right, and she was still in the village. ”
The Uzumaki ninja said.
Hanyu nodded, it was not difficult to judge from the extent of the damage to the "relic", but the question was why it would be revealed again after so many years.
Someone made such a fatal mistake? This is also too unlikely.
At this point, things are clearer, and now Hanyu and the Uzumaki Ninjas are communicating about the incident of a Uzumaki child disappearing on the night when the Uzumaki neighborhood was invaded by the Cloud Hidden Ninja.
This kind of bizarre disappearance, "Shadow Stream" has not given up tracking it, but time has come to this day, and they have not found anything, so many people actually have no hope in their hearts...... Disappearances are more or less like this, and if no clues are traced at the time, it is basically a sign of despair afterwards.
As a result, even the Uzumaki clan, who cared more about this matter than Hanyu, now regarded the investigation of the disappearance as a "routine task".
However, now the clues have popped up again, and they are very intuitive.
"The child's mother, I remember passing away not long ago."
"Yes, she died half a year ago...... That could be counted as a young person, and now is not the end of her life. It's just that people who have lost their support for their lives will always be extremely vulnerable, and they will never see hope, and they can imagine such an outcome. ”
Is this sentimental? Hanyu hurriedly stopped his subordinates who were running around, "Anything else you found besides the pendant?" ”
"There's still a very faint chakra reaction around here, but it's just ...... We need to discern carefully, which we can't do on a few of us, and we need the help of the organization. ”
"I know, inform Sannai and let her take charge of this matter, and try to clarify this matter that has been delayed for so long...... This time I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death. ”
Sanna is a chakra perception ninja in Thirteen Fragrances, the strongest perception ninja among the current Shadow Flow and Uzumaki clans, and basically the strongest chakra perception ninja in Konoha.
The "routine task" suddenly became significant.
Then Hanyu caught a glimpse of Kushina, who was becoming eager to try, so he immediately gave a supplementary order, "Strip Kushina from the mission, and Nakashinobu should honestly pull weeds and catch cats." ”
"Hanyu-sama......" Kushina's disappointment immediately showed on his face.
"It's an order, you're not ready to get into this kind of task," perhaps thinking his attitude was too blunt, so Hanyu explained slightly, "Even the sun is suspended in the endless darkness of nothingness, and in fact, the more light it can boast about, the more it casts shadows that are too thick to dissolve." ”
However, such a subtle hint was naturally incomprehensible to Jiu Sinai.
To this day, if Hanyu still thinks that the black cauldron of the Uzumaki disappearance incident should be detained on Yun Yin, then he has an unsound brain development.
It is one person who mixes the water, and it seems that it is another person who fishes in troubled waters.
Whose head should Konoha's black cauldron always be buckled? This time it seems that this sentence is no longer a joke.
…………
Traces were left when they shouldn't have been left, and even a series of clues were followed by this trace, in any case, this unreasonable "accident" seems to have some vague deliberate ingredients, but what someone wants to do will only be a fog before the result is revealed.
In order to lift this fog, there will always be people who will take active action for it...... Even if this kind of thing shouldn't be up to her to do it.
For example, Uzumaki Kushina.
A few days later.
"At present, we have roughly delineated the scope, and the next step is to carefully investigate, and if we are lucky, we may be able to complete such a big task." On the Shadow Rock, Kushina said, pointing to an area of Konoha and not.
is obviously forbidden to act, but she still has to get involved, and at this time, Jiu Sinai seems to have shown her son's figure...... No, it should be said that her son has perfectly inherited Kushina's DNA.
"But Kushina, you haven't told me what that mission is."
Even Jiu Sinai found the most reliable helper, he is a yellow hair.
"Didn't you say that you were looking for someone, the rest is confidential, a sense of confidentiality, don't you understand?"
Jiu Sinai didn't make things clear at all, and Bo Feng Shuimen came over to help.
"Is it the mission of your organization? I think you're acting on your own. "Bo Feng Shuimen has easily come to such a correct conclusion, otherwise Jiu Sinai would not have asked him for help, "Jiu Sinai, if Hanyu-sama knew about your actions...... Further, if you are in danger, will the Lord be gentle enough to forgive you? ”
I have to say that Watergate is still able to get to the point.
This made Kushina shudder, and some memories that she especially wanted to cut out involuntarily appeared, and it was a memory that she even wanted to forget at the cost of cutting out a part of her brain...... All I remember is the flagpole swinging horizontally, the little feet swinging around, and the devilish laughter of the people.
"We're just here to find clues, and I promise to retreat if we find them, and I won't put myself in danger." Kushina said in a defensible manner.
"......" said this, Bo Feng Shuimen was a little confused, whether he should pretend to believe it or not.
"Are you going or not? Departure. ”
After saying that, Jiu Sinai didn't wait for Watergate's reaction, and ran directly to that neighborhood.
What else can the wave wind water gate do?
He had realized that the task in front of him was somewhat extraordinary, and that the extraordinary meant that there might be danger in it, and in that case, he couldn't let Kushina do it himself.
Watergate could only silently follow.
