Chapter 187: Twenty-Seven Masks
"This place," Ino looked back at the dark red torii in a thin cyan sweatshirt and hood, "how many years has no one been here?" ”
Hearing this, Naruto thought about it for a moment, and the one of the Vortex Clansmen on Konoha was probably Kushina.
"It's been more than ten years."
"Huh?" Ino shrank back, "It's only been more than ten years and it's been abandoned like this?" ”
"Is it possible that it was abandoned more than ten years ago?" Naruto couldn't help but correct, "This is the shrine of the Uzumaki clan, and no one has been here for a long time. ”
"Huh? The Vortex Clan? Ino looked at Naruto.
"That's what I just knew." He smiled, "Although my first name has the same last name, that's all, I don't know anything else. ”
A broken water tank in the courtyard caught Ino's eye, and she was about to walk over with her feet, but was grabbed by Naruto.
"Where are you going?"
"There's a water tank over there." She pointed into the corner of the rubble, "Something seems wrong." ”
"Don't wander around here." Naruto glanced at Ino with a somewhat complicated gaze, "That thing isn't a water tank, you can take a closer look." ”
"But that's obviously a water tank" Ino was a little confused, and turned his head to look again.
There was a water tank in the overgrown corner, only a pile of white bones that could not be distinguished from a human or an animal, and around the pile of bones were a few purple flowers of strange colors.
"Ahh Ino was scared out of a cold sweat, it turned out to be a hallucination, "I was clear just now"
"It's okay, just don't go too far." Naruto grabbed her and took the girl's hand, "There's not much danger here, follow me, it'll be fine." ”
A dilapidated shrine, to put it bluntly, an empty grave. Naruto wasn't too nervous, it was the masks that hung in the shrine that did this.
Gently kick the door open, the shrine is empty, only some fallen rubble on the ground. In the empty inner hall, it was so quiet that only the footsteps of the two could be heard.
A gust of wind blew and creaked the broken door.
"Naruto, you. Do you hear it, like someone is laughing? Ino swallowed and kept looking behind him, as if something had been following them.
"Nope." Naruto's face didn't change.
"It's like crying again." Ino's whole body was about to stick to him, clutching his hand tightly, "Naruto, should we get out of here first." ”
The girl's voice trembled a little, and Naruto could feel the strength of Ino's grip on him gradually growing. She was still quietly retreating, and her broken thoughts faintly echoed in the empty inner hall.
She said if she wanted to bring Shikamaru and them back together, maybe it would be safer if there were more people. Naruto just listened, his eyes fixed on the twenty-seven masks on the wall.
For Ino's broken thoughts, he nodded occasionally, and responded well.
There are some things that can't be avoided, and they are coming. Whether it's funny to cry, he has decided the inheritance of the Vortex clan, and it is useless for the Six Dao Immortals to come.
Twenty-seven demon masks hung on the walls, each of which was hideous, with the Grim Reaper mask in the middle.
"Stand here and don't move." Naruto said suddenly.
"Huh? Then you. What are you going to do? Ino was a little scared, and when he remembered the cry, his face suddenly turned pale, "Am I standing here alone?" ”
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm here." Naruto let go of Ino's hand, looked around, and picked up a long stick at the base of the wall.
Ino stood there honestly, an hour ago, she thought that this time she was following Naruto to some kind of shrine to pay homage and pray for blessings. Who knew she was a little panicked now.
Things went in a strange direction, and she stood in the middle of the shrine's inner hall shivering.
The door panel was creaking again, and this time there was no wind. Ino saw footprints appear on the ground, and the mask on the wall stared at her with compassion.
There is something wrong with this shrine!
The direction of the footprints stopped three meters away from Ino, and then went straight towards Naruto, who opened his mouth to warn him, but found that he was speechless.
Naruto didn't seem to be aware of the situation around him at all, and stood under the mask wall with the long stick he had picked up, poking and poking to poke the mask off.
Ino clearly saw that the footprints had gone behind Naruto, and her body was completely frozen, unable to move or speak, she could only watch.
Suddenly, there was a click, and a mask fell off the wall.
Naruto bent down to pick it up, and suddenly heard the wind behind him, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Ino watched as Naruto turned his head sharply, but he already had the fallen demon mask on his face.
Call!
All the sounds were gone, and the inner hall of the shrine fell silent again.
Ino suddenly felt like he could move, and he took a big breath, as if he had never breathed before.
"Naruto, behind you!"
Halfway through her words, she was stunned again. Because there were no footprints in front of Naruto who turned around, as if everything just now was an illusion.
"What's in the back?" Naruto took off his mask and asked suspiciously.
"No, nothing." Ino asked with some uneasiness, "Can I go over to you now?" I was a little scared. ”
"Come on, it's okay." He beckoned and motioned for Ino to come over.
After standing beside him, Ino breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the mask in his hand, and asked.
"What's that?"
"It's just an ordinary mask." Naruto threw it into the sealed space.
Then he pointed to the twenty-six remaining masks on the wall and said, "Wait for me in a moment, wait until I take off all these masks, and then you can go." ”
"Okay."
Naruto said to Ino as he took the mask.
"I told you you don't have to come with me, there's not even a living person in this place."
Ino didn't speak, knowing that now was not the time to put gas. It wasn't until Naruto threw all the twenty-six masks into the sealing space, and the two slowly withdrew from the Uzumaki Clan's enchantment, that she pinched Naruto's waist heavily.
"Ahh Naruto screamed, "Ino, you're going to kill me!" ”
"You deserve it." Ino said angrily.
"How did I deserve it?" Naruto gasped and muttered as he touched his waist, "Wait, it's only time to come to Japan, and I won't have any good fruit to eat in the future." ”
"What are you muttering there?"
"It's nothing, it looks like someone is talking to me, do you see?"
"Ahh Ino screamed, his face suddenly pale.
"Just kidding, it's just that you're so nervous, and it's just a lively atmosphere." Naruto said shyly.
Ino: "."
This guy is damned!
"So you're afraid of those things?" Naruto and Ino walked side by side and slowly walked in the direction of the village.
"Surely you must be afraid, who is not afraid of those things." Jing Zhi said with trepidation, "I will definitely not come to this kind of place with you next time, it's too terrifying." ”
"Haha, what you're seeing is just a hallucination." Naruto explained, "Where are so many strange things in this world, just don't take it personally. ”
Of course I do." Ino said.
"It's still early, where are you going?" Naruto casually suggested, "If it's okay, just go and stay with me." ”
"Huh? What excuses are you looking for? You foot fetish. ”
"You've misunderstood me too much." He said casually, his eyes wandering in the early spring woods, "Is there a possibility that I don't just have a foot fetish." ”
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry! Misunderstood you, pervert! The corners of Ino's mouth raised slightly, and he said with his hands behind his back.
"I don't want to do that, Ino is so cute."
"Hmph, have you started to be shameless? His face was not red, and his heart was not beating to say such shameful words. Ino was already immune to the sassy words he popped up from time to time.
When Ino said this, his expression was a little cute. obviously accepted the lovely praise in a grand manner, but he still had to scold others arrogantly and perverted.
Girls with this attribute are absolutely rare, and there may be fewer people who like such personalities. Oh, it just so happens that he is one of the audience, and he really enjoys the painless flirtatious invective of beautiful girls.
Ino has a very pure personality.,It happens to be the kind of opponent who will continue to grow.,But it's like a girl who blushes as long as her words are a little stronger.。
"I'm telling the truth, I haven't seen Ino for a long time, so I miss it so much." He said.
"Oh, has it been so natural to use lies now? I won't believe it, slightly. "Ino seems to be in a good mood, and his mind has become active.
If it was in normal times, she would definitely be shy first, and then doubt the truth of what Naruto said. But now she saw through it at a glance, was it really because she had become sensitive?
Naruto was suddenly a little relieved, as if he had finally cultivated Ino into a familiar form, and it seemed that she couldn't simply say something in the future that would make her shy.
But there's another way.
Taking a deep breath, Naruto ran to the front in one breath and then turned to look at Ino. The distance between the two was about thirty meters, and the forest was deep and silent.
"What's wrong with you?" Ino was a little confused, and he didn't know what Naruto wanted to do.
"Ino, you're so cute!!" Naruto shouted loudly at Ino, fluttering and fluttering, startling the birds of half of the forest.
"Huh? Eh!! Ino's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sense of shame was too strong, "What are you shouting!" ”
"You pervert! Don't run! ”
The next day, the sky was clear outside the window.
Naruto washed up and went out the door, stepping on the road of Konoha Street alone, slowly merging into the flow of people on the street. The bustling street is humid and muggy.
At such times, the benefits of not having many friends become apparent.
Even if he returned from the sea disaster, there were only a few friends who had time to see him, and the third and eighth classes were doing tasks outside the village, and they didn't come back so soon for the time being.
When they returned, they would probably be surprised to hear that they had returned unharmed at sea. He wanted to see how Inuzuka reacted, and he should be very jealous of his genius ability to lead the team.
In short, life has returned to normal.
Kazeka Koyuki and Sakura Haruno seem to have a problem with their bodies, probably due to the experience of drifting at sea. It is also possible that as soon as you relax, then the whole person falls ill, and he has heard many examples of this.
He walked slowly on the road, and today he was going to the hospital to see Haruno Sakura and Kazeka Xiaoxue. After the red bean, he was discharged from the hospital in one step, and there was no problem with his body.
Routinely visit teammates to see when the mission target will be cured and discharged from the hospital. Although it is a bit unkind to say this, the fact is that only by restarting the mission can he get the reward of the Flying Thunder God.
Also, before twelve o'clock
