Chapter 93: Mito-Sama of Konoha, Mito Uzumaki of the Land of Whirlpools (Asking for Monthly Pass!!)

Bang! Bang Bang!!

Sarutobi Hiruzen tightly grasped the Vajra Ruyi Staff, staring at the rain of fire falling from the sky at high speed.

"Monkey, it's very lively here."

"How about an old woman like me join in the fun?"

Until the woman's voice came into his ears, gentle and with a hint of coldness, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression suddenly froze.

The next moment, under the gaze of him and the people of Konoha.

A lone and frail figure appeared in front of them with slow steps, illuminated by the fire.

A head of neat and gorgeous red hair fluttered, and the talismans on both sides of the bun swayed gently.

Looking at the kunai and detonating bombs above her head and in front of her, she raised a palm naturally placed in front of her abdomen, as if she was gently wiping a meteor in the sky with her hand.

Crack! Crack!!

Six golden chains extended from behind her, blocking her head and weaving around and making a sharp sound of golden swords.

When the last trace of noise disappeared, the golden shield took shape above the head, meeting the overwhelming attack.

Boom! !

The dazzling explosion and light erupted again, dyeing the golden chain with a bright red.

Just like the surging waves or floods hitting the reefs or dams, the surging waves of fire flowed from the top, bottom, left and right of the golden shield wall.

The scene of the fire wave tsunami hitting the golden barrier shocked the people of Konoha who were protected below.

When the surging waves of fire and the impact of the explosion dissipated, the figure just stood there very calmly, and the attack of the air ninja had no effect on her.

The retracted golden chains surrounded her and behind her, and her gestures were quiet and reserved like the stars surrounding the moon.

"Vajra Blockade!"

When the golden chain reflecting the fire appeared in front of everyone, everyone present was not unfamiliar with it, and they all realized the identity of the woman who suddenly appeared in an instant.

Wife of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha.

—— Uzumaki Mito.

What really surprised everyone was her young face.

Lady Mito has always been low-key and simple. It is difficult to find someone older than her in the entire Konoha, but now she is standing in front of them with an extremely young appearance.

If you don't look at her calm deep green eyes, you can't tell that she is an old woman in her sixties or seventies. Instead, she looks like a reserved and gentle Yamato Nadeshiko.

"Lady Mito!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was originally full of style, suddenly became evasive when he saw Uzumaki Mito, and said hesitantly: "You, why are you here?"

Although he didn't think Uzumaki Mito would listen to the enemy's one-sided words, he still had an inexplicable sense of foreboding in his heart.

"I was originally here to pick up the kids from school."

Uzumaki Mito turned around and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was frozen in place. A hint of deepness flashed in her narrowed eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on her face: "But, it seems that I heard a bad news."

Speaking of this, she suddenly paused and asked: "How are the civilians and children?"

It is inevitable for ninjas to die in battle. They should have this awareness from the day they become ninjas.

So, she only asked about the civilians and children, and did not want to involve the innocent and weak.

"...Huh!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose heart was in his throat, relaxed his tense body after hearing this.

No questioning.

At least not now.

Not to mention questioning in front of everyone in Konoha.

But the other party not asking does not mean that he can ignore it naturally.

"Civilians and children have been evacuated to the shelter as soon as possible."

Sarutobi Hiruzen answered honestly, lowering his voice and trying to speak in a steady tone: "Please rest assured, we will give you an explanation after this matter is resolved."

Yes, that's right, don't be afraid.

When he heard that his hometown might encounter an accident, his first reaction was still to consider his reputation as a Hokage, rather than tying him up in the sky and questioning him in front of everyone.

Obviously, the person in front of him is no longer the Uzumaki Mito of the Uzumaki clan, but the "Mito-sama" who insists on loving Konoha and supporting the one he loves.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a breath of depression, and his turbulent mood became calm.

Yes, as long as it is like before, it will be fine.

"… Third generation, you'd better really do what you say."

Uzumaki Mito looked deeply at Sarutobi Hiruzen, but the malicious perception ability from the Nine-Tails was not triggered. He could only suppress the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart and said calmly: "Now, let's concentrate on fighting the enemy."

After the voice fell, without turning his head, without any sign, the golden chain behind him suddenly stabbed out.

The chain with a glow of fire stretched out from the smoke and flames, and the wind it raised made the flames in the air dim a little.

Bang! !

The slender and powerful golden chain slashed towards the sky ninja who shouted, but in an instant, there was a deafening crash that swept across the whole place.

"Hmm?"

Uzumaki Mito was stunned for a moment, frowned and turned to look at the sky.

Crack! Crack!

But the golden chain was blocked by an invisible barrier before it could reach the body of the air ninja. All that could be heard was the teeth-grinding sound of the chain hitting it.

That was...

"Protective barrier?" Uzumaki Mito's expression became a little ugly, "This level of barrier technique..."

She could actually see some shadows of the Uzumaki clan's barrier technique from it.

In other words, the so-called "ally of the Uzumaki clan" might be true.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Sarutobi Hiruzen behind her, and the guess that had been forcibly suppressed in her heart emerged again.

When she thought about the possibility that the Whirlpool Country might really be destroyed by the Hidden Mist, and the possibility that someone from the Konoha high-level was involved...

Her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, breaking the calm posture that had been maintained since she appeared.

If possible, she really didn't want to doubt that the Konoha she had been protecting could do such a thing.

But now all the signs are urging her to believe what the other party said.

Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance was flawless and his words seemed to have no loopholes, his sixth sense still told Uzumaki Mito that perhaps the guy in the sky was telling the truth.

——Not only was the country of Uzumaki destroyed, but it was also because of Konoha's betrayal.

"Lord Mito, you..."

Seeing that her condition was not normal, Sarutobi Hiruzen hurriedly stepped forward.

But just as he was about to say something, something suddenly interrupted him.

A faint golden halo appeared in everyone's eyes, and it was too fast to see the whole picture of that thing.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen heard the terrifying sharp whistle of the wind, and vaguely saw the true face of the golden halo.

——It was a golden chain, which also meant that Uzumaki Mito still attacked him.
