Shadow Stream of Leaf

Hanyu walked to a certain place by the river beach, and then squatted down. He stretched out his right hand and gently pushed away a small pile of swelled sand, and then lifted a rotten and old necklace.

The red rope used to tie it around the neck has long since rotted and shattered when pinched, and the metal pendant underneath has also been oxidized to the point of blackness.

This pendant should be an "abstract image" of some kind of animal. The lines are very simple, and it should be a symbol of peace. As for what kind of animal it is... It may be a pig or a tiger, but it doesn't matter.

Hanyu rubbed this thing lightly with his fingers, and after two or three strokes, the oxide layer on it was rubbed off, revealing its original appearance. If we compare the photo in his hand, we can find 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 off the dirt on his fingertips, Hanyu involuntarily muttered something like this.

"Master Hanyu, what did you say?"

"It's nothing." Hanyu shook his head, then stood up, "I just discovered this today?"

"Yes, Master Hanyu. 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 up from the bottom of the river... very It's possible that the child had recently been moved, hence the clues.

We have been right all along, she is still in the village as expected. "

Said the Uzumaki ninja.

Hanyu nodded. It is not difficult to draw such a judgment from the damage of the "relic". However, the question is why it took so many years for this thing to be revealed again.

Has anyone made this fatal mistake? This possibility is too low.

At this point, the matter is clearer. What Hanyu and the Uzumaki ninjas are talking about is the incident that a Uzumaki child disappeared on the night when the Uzumaki block was invaded by the Uzumaki ninja.

"Shadow Stream" has never given up on the investigation of this rather bizarre disappearance, but they have found nothing until now, so many people have no hope in their hearts... The disappearance case is probably like this, if If no clues were traced at the time, it basically represented despair afterwards.

Therefore, even the Uzumaki clan, who cared more about this matter than Hanyu, now regards the investigation of the disappearance as a "routine task".

Now, however, the clues popped up again, and they were very intuitive ones at that.

"The mother of that child, I remember that she just passed away not long ago."

"Yes, she died half a year ago... That can still be regarded as a young person, and now it is not the end of her life. It's just that a life without support will always be extraordinarily fragile, and you can't see it from the beginning to the end. For those who hope, such results can be imagined."

Is this even sentimental? Hanyu hurriedly stopped the subordinates who ran all over the place, "Apart from the pendant, did you find anything else?"

"There is still a very weak chakra reaction around here, but...it needs to be carefully identified. This is something that we can't do. We need the help of the organization."

"I see. I will inform Sannai and ask her to take charge of this matter, and try my best to clarify this matter that has dragged on for so long... This time, I will see people in life, and dead bodies in death."

Sannai is the chakra-sensing ninja in Sanxiangli, the strongest sensing ninja among the shadow stream and Uzumaki, and basically the strongest chakra-sensing ninja in Konoha.

"Routine tasks" suddenly became more important.

Then Hanyu caught a glimpse of Kushina, who was eager to try, and immediately issued a supplementary order, "Take Kushina out of the mission, and the Chunin should honestly pull weeds and catch cats."

"Master Hanyu..." Kushina's disappointment was immediately revealed on his face.

"This is an order, you are not yet ready for this kind of mission." Maybe he felt that his attitude was too blunt, so Hanyu explained a little bit, "Even the sun is suspended in the endless darkness of nothingness, in fact , the more boastful the light, the more it will cast shadows that are too thick to dissolve."

However, Kushina naturally couldn't understand such a vague hint.

Today, if Hanyu still thinks that the blame for Uzumaki's disappearance should be blamed on Yun Yin, then he has an underdeveloped brain.

It is one person who muddles the water, but it seems to be another person who fishes in troubled waters.

Who should be blamed for Konoha's blame? This time it seems that this sentence is no longer a joke.

…………

Traces are left when they shouldn't be, and there are even a series of clues behind the traces. In any case, this unreasonable "accident" seems to be vaguely deliberate, but who wants to do something? Things will only be a cloud of fog before the results are revealed.

In order to unravel this cloud of fog, there will always be someone who will take active actions...even if she shouldn't have acted on this kind of thing.

For example, Uzumaki Kushina.

A few days later.

"At present, we have roughly delineated the scope, and the next step is to investigate carefully. If we are lucky, we may be able to complete such a big task." On the shadow rock, Kushina pointed to a certain area of ​​Konoha.

Although she was banned from acting, she still wanted to get involved. At this time, Kushina seemed to have the figure of her son... No, it should be said that her son perfectly inherited Kushina's DNA.

"But Kushina, you haven't told me what that mission is exactly."

Even Jiu Xinnai found the most reliable helper, he is a yellow hair.

"Didn't you say to find someone, the rest is confidential, don't you understand the awareness of confidentiality?"

Kushina didn't make things clear at all, so Minato Namikaze came over to help.

"Is it the task of your organization? I think you must have acted without authorization." Namikaze Minato came to such a correct conclusion very simply, otherwise Kushina would not have asked him for help, "Kusin Nai, if Lord Hanyu finds out about your actions...and furthermore, if you are in danger, will he forgive you gently?"

I have to say that Minato-san was able to hit the nail on the head.

These words made Jiu Xinna shiver, and some memories that she wanted to cut off involuntarily emerged. It was a memory that she even wanted to forget at the cost of cutting off part of her brain... In the memory There are only flagpoles swaying horizontally, little feet swinging around, and people's hearty laughter like devils.

"We're just here to find clues. I guarantee that we will retreat if we find them. We will definitely not put ourselves in danger." Jiu Xinnai said in this way.

"..." Namikaze Minato didn't know whether he should pretend to believe these words.

"Are you going? Let's go."

After speaking, Kushina didn't wait for Minato's reaction, and ran directly to that block.

What else can Namikaze Minato do?

He has already realized that the task in front of him is a bit unusual, which means that there may be danger in it. If this is the case, then he cannot let Jiuxinna do it himself.

Minato could only follow silently.
