552 - above the immortals
When Qing Shui and Mizumen returned to the battlefield again, they found that the three bodies of Xiao that had been scattered here were gone.
After the two glanced at each other, they opened their senses in unison.
However, there are no unfamiliar chakras within a few kilometers of the surrounding area.
They then made a detailed survey of the area, but unfortunately found nothing.
Aside from the traces of the battle and the traces left by the two of them, nothing was found here.
"It's so clean, and I'm afraid we'll find out...... It's dawn. Watergate guessed.
"It's just them." After a pause, Qing Shui added, "And it's very likely to be absolute." ”
Only the absolute one has the ability to easily take away three corpses without anyone discovering their traces.
"It's my fault, if it wasn't me just now......"
"It's just three dead people." Qing Shui stopped Shuimen's self-blame in time, "And the most important reincarnation eye has been reached, and they can't make any waves." ”
The loss of the three corpses will indeed cause Konoha to lose some information about Yuyin, but the real threat to Konoha is still Nagato and Konan, the two high-level personnel of Xiao, especially Nagato, an existence with reincarnation eyes. And with the death of the two of them, now Xiao's biggest threat has been cleared, and the remaining ones really don't have to worry about.
It's just that at this moment, Qing Shui looked up at the deep night sky, and the blood-red full moon at this time was still hanging high, and the crimson seemed to be even more scarlet than before.
Is it a delusion?
This was the first time he had seen such an astronomical wonder since he came into this world.
Then he remembered the prophecy that the Great Toad Immortal had said not long ago, and the "piece of red" that the other party had mentioned.
Previously, when Qing Mizu saw the sea of fire in Konoha Village on the mountain of Hokage Rock, he subconsciously thought that it was the scene predicted by the Great Toad Immortal, and thought that the other party was referring to the catastrophe that Konoha would suffer tonight.
But now, the Nine-Tails have long been sealed, and the mastermind of the incident, Nagato, has also died, so it should all be over.
Why...... This seems to indicate that the ominous and eerie scarlet full moon is still there?
It's not that Qing Shui is worried, but the moon in this world is a container used by the Six Dao Immortals to seal the Ten Tails, and its anomalies can't be explained simply by astronomical phenomena.
Is the blood-red moon related to the Outer Dao Golem that Nagato channeled to Yuyin Village?
Or is it involved in the six immortals who sealed the Ten Tails back then?
Qing Shui's worries were not groundless, because he had never forgotten that he still had the "mark" left by the Six Dao Immortals in his body.
"What's wrong Qing Shui?" At this time, the water gate looked at Qing Shui's gaze and also noticed the strange situation in the sky. It seems that the moon has been so blood-red tonight.
"Nothing...... I just think it's a little special. ”
Although Qing Shui only mentioned this lightly, the careful Water Gate still took a few more glances at the scarlet full moon in the night sky at this time.
And after looking through the memories of the past twenty years, he was sure that this was the first time he had seen such a spectacle.
Such a vision...... Is it a foreshadowing of Konoha tonight's disaster?
Immediately, Shuimen looked at Qing Shui again, and he still caught some of the worry revealed in the other party's expression.
"Watergate, you go back to the village first."
"Huh?"
"I'll take a detour to the Valley of the End."
"I'm ...... with you"
"No need." Soon, Qing Shui stopped the water gate who wanted to go with him, "It seems that the corpse is being collected, and the Heavenly Dao corpse I killed earlier is still there. ”
Qing Shui's other guess was that maybe there was some kind of conspiracy going on again, because the other party must have some ulterior motive for taking away the useless corpse, so he wanted to go to the Valley of the End to see if it was really as he guessed.
"In addition, Konoha Village has suffered heavy casualties tonight." Immediately afterwards, Qing Shui continued to remind, "Be careful not to be taken advantage of by the other party." ”
This time, there were many dead and injured in both ordinary people and ninjas, and there were countless corpses, if Bai Jue really tried to steal the corpse, then they had to raise their vigilance.
Shimizu's words instantly reminded Mizumon of Kushina, and if the body of his beloved was taken away and used against him or Konoha in the future, then the matter would be tricky.
Thinking of this, Shuimen no longer hesitated, so he said decisively: "Okay." ”
Soon, he took out a trident kunai engraved with a complex spatial inscription and handed it over, while a pair of blue eyes looked directly at Qing Shui: "As always, as long as you enter the chakra, I will appear." ”
Many years ago, the trident kunai that Watergate had given to Shimizu was given to Megumi by Shimizu not long ago, but I didn't expect Watergate to throw such a big gift again today.
This sudden gift really surprised Qing Shui.
"Watergate, you ......"
Watergate said sincerely: "Take it, it's good to take care of it." ”
"And Tsunade-senpai has already removed the toxins from my body, so I think I should still be able to help now."
No wonder Watergate was late, it turned out that the other party had gone to Tsunade to dissolve the toxins in his body.
At this point, Qing Shui was no longer hypocritical, and he took over the heavy trident kunai: "...... Good. ”
But just as Shuimen turned around and was about to leave, Qing Shui, who had been staring at the other party's back, suddenly asked for no reason: "By the way, what is the prophecy given to you by the big toad immortal?" ”
Hearing Qing Shui's question, Shuimen immediately stopped, but he didn't turn around and replied directly: "A choice." ”
"Choice?"
"The Great Toad Immortal predicts that my next choice will be related to the survival of the ninja world." After a slight hesitation, Mizumon decided to tell the truth, "He asked me to decide for myself whether to watch the ninja world die or ignore you in crisis." ”
To this day, Watergate doesn't understand why such a burden has fallen on his head.
And at this moment, Qing Shui had already guessed something, and then he asked: "What is the demise of the ninja world?" ”
The Great Toad Immortal didn't have a detailed explanation for this. But it clearly tells me that if I choose the latter, it is Shimizu you...... Then the chakra in this world will die out, and there will never be a ninja again. ”
Isn't this what the Great Toad Immortal once told Qing Shui, as long as he has been alive and strong, then the chakra in this world will be less and less.
It's just that the big toad immortal also mentioned that his level of consumption will not really cause substantial harm to this world, how come it has become the survival of the ninja world and his life and death here in the water gate, and the two can only exist in an opposing relationship?
"I'm sorry, Qing Shui, I doubted you before." Shuimen turned around and sincerely apologized to Qing Shui, "I thought you had done something unreasonable, so I wanted to test your ......"
"Huh...... It's okay. ”
At this point, Qing Shui has also completely understood that Shuimen has been a series of abnormal words and deeds that are suspicious or wary of him.
It turned out that the other party had been secretly testing him, just to find out what he had done in the past, what he was doing, or what he wanted to do in the future.
Even maybe the reckless impulse of the other party to avenge Jiu Sinai and slaughter Yuyin just now was just a play, just to see his true reaction and real purpose.
Thinking of this, Qing Shui couldn't help but feel a little lucky, although he hid something from everyone, but whether it was the giving of intelligence or the help in times of crisis, at least he poured a lot of effort and energy into treating his companions with the greatest kindness and sincerity, as long as Shuimen really investigated with his heart, he could naturally find these clues.
And the only thing that is difficult to explain is his almost prophetic prediction ability, and this is also a small bug that Qing Shui has difficulty prevaricating in the past.
But...... Being able to do what others can't do and turning the impossible into a possibility, isn't this the strength of "Instant God Clear Water"?
He has this confidence and self-confidence!
Thinking of this, Qing Shui also had a trace of calmness in his heart at this moment, so he continued: "According to the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal, it seems that I will have a life and death disaster. ”
It was really hard for Qing Shui to imagine that there were any conspiracies and tricks in the ninja world that could directly threaten him.
Madara is gone, Nagato is dead, and the conspirators are hiding...... All the figures in his mind were excluded by him.
Could it be the four-generation Thunder Shadow and the Eight-Tails Pillar Force?
It can only be said that it will cause some trouble to him now, and it can't talk about any life and death crisis.
So where exactly does the crisis come from?!
"yes...... So I've been very confused and hesitant all along. I would not have been able to make such a heavy choice in that case. Then Watergate showed the same smile as always, "But now, I have followed my heart and made a choice." ”
"Maybe the era of ninjas will finally pass...... But even so, I'm still a ninja. As he spoke, Watergate raised his right fist forward.
Immediately, Shimizu stretched out his left fist and touched Shuimen again with his fist.
And at this moment, Konoha's fate twins are completely on the same front.
Yes, even if they lose Chakra, even if they can't release ninjutsu again, as long as they can carry out their consistent ninja ways, then they are still ninjas!
Looking at the back of the water gate gradually moving away, Qing Shui showed a relieved smile, and then turned around and ran towards the Valley of the End.
And as he gradually approached the Valley of the End, Qing Shui also subconsciously looked at the full moon in the night sky that seemed to be stained red with blood, and in the darkness, he had a stronger and stronger premonition in his heart, and the crisis was approaching.
For this kind of completely unknown, even clueless fatal crisis, Qing Shui, who had been in a hundred battles for a while, had a faint hint of expectation, and at this moment more and more adrenaline was constantly pouring through his body, with a little excitement, he really wanted to see who the enemy he was about to face next.
And as a figure glowing with blue light once again came to the top of the statue between the Thousand Hands Pillar of the First Hokage, the powerful and lingering thunder also dispelled the darkness here.
After looking around, Qing Shui also confirmed that Heavenly Dao Payne's body was also missing.
The same is nowhere to be found.
It seems to be absolute, this haunted guy.
Could it be that the enemy he is about to face is Jere?
So where are you?
In the next moment, the world seemed to be torn apart, and the night slowly faded to the sides, and then the heavens and the earth changed.
Again I was greeted by a whole crimson sky, and above the sky here, a number of huge black gears were hanging in the sky and rumbling slowly, and because of the crimson light of the sky, the desolate and barren earth under my feet was also dyed dark red.
This strange and abrupt scene shocked even Qing Shui.
At the same time, he immediately realized that the "red" mentioned by the Great Toad Immortal did not refer to the raging fire that happened in Konoha or the bloody sacrifice of everyone, but the world in front of him that was full of red.
It turns out that this is the real scene of the prophecy.
So...... Is this an illusion?
But according to his resistance to illusion now, he shouldn't be so powerless to fall into the other party's illusion.
Immediately, Qing Shui carefully felt the flow of chakra in his body, and suddenly his palm was filled with a burst of thunder.
His chakra, and his technique, everything is fine.
The strange and strange world, but it was not a manifestation of illusion, and the fact of such a separation made him unable to understand for a while, what had happened.
"This is your spiritual world." An abrupt voice suddenly came into Qing Shui's ears, and the sound was close at hand, but there was nothing else around him except dead silence!
"Who?!"
Soon, a suspended figure slowly appeared in front of Qing Shui.
I saw the other party sitting cross-legged with his back to him, and he was wearing a white robe, and the nine red magatama on his back were extremely conspicuous.
"It's really a problem. I'm still a little worried about whether my name is the same as the one in my newspaper. ”
And as the nine black stones under his feet continued to rotate, the suspended man gradually turned to face Qing Shui.
It turned out to be an old man with a long beard and waist, an old face, and a protrusion on each side of his forehead like two horns.
And the other party's eyes turned out to be a pair of reincarnation eyes!
I only heard him continue: "I am the embodiment of peace and order, and my name is Feather Coat. ”
Qing Shui's eyes narrowed slightly, and the chakra in his body began to surge at high speed, and he was ready to burst out at any time.
"This reaction, it seems that you are the one who knows about my existence."
Yu Yi had a clear expression, he seemed to have expected this scene, and then he said to himself: "Also, as long as you see my eyes, as smart as you, you will definitely know who is coming." ”
"For today's meeting, I have left a seed of my chakra in your body."
"First meeting, Konoha April Shimizu."
