Chapter 125: A Familiar Aura to Uzumaki Mito
In the canyon to the southeast, a group of people set up camp. From the tent guarded in the very middle, a burst of fierce arguing came out.
"Uzumaki Mito, why have the people you brought been slacking off? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are Big Brother's fiancée!"
An angry white-haired guy slammed his fist on the table, and the simple furniture let out a painful groan.
Senju Tobirama, whose childishness had faded, gritted his teeth, his red eyes filled with dissatisfaction toward the woman before him who was clearly distracted.
The woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a bright red bun hairstyle, her forehead combed high, revealing a smooth, flawless forehead, with a few strands of hair hanging in front of her face.
Her skin was fair, a pair of clear and bright big eyes seemed to reveal intelligence and cunning, her lips were rosy and full, slightly upturned, as if she were always ready to laugh or mock.
"Ah?"
The figure sitting on the chair, lost in thought, heard Senju Tobirama's accusation, furrowed her delicate brows, her black eyes filled with disgust. She pulled the corners of her mouth imperceptibly and said in a calm tone:
"First of all, our Uzumaki clan has not been slacking off. The Hagoromo clan has already been found for you. If they escaped, are you blaming us?"
As she spoke, her aura changed. A powerful chakra pressure covered Senju Tobirama, who had spoken rudely. Her slightly narrowed beautiful eyes were full of threats.
"Secondly, I have never agreed to this marriage personally. It's all just wishful thinking on the part of your Senju clan."
"Ugh~~~"
The growing white-haired guy was clearly not the opponent of the red-haired woman before him. He was pressed by the tsunami-like surging chakra of the other party and couldn't breathe.
His red eyes were full of surprise, but Senju Tobirama wasn't someone who would sit and wait for death. He stretched out a hand behind his back, secretly started forming seals, and a faint azure chakra rose on his body to contend with it.
"Report!!!"
Just as the two were at daggers drawn, a hurried voice rang out. The two stopped simultaneously in tacit understanding and looked at each other silently, their eyes full of disgust.
Tsk! Stinky woman full of fishy smell!
Tsk! Gloomy idiot white-haired guy!
"Come in!"
Uzumaki Mito withdrew her chakra pressure. Senju Tobirama, who had caught his breath, had a trace of unnatural crimson on his face.
It could be seen that he hadn't come out unscathed when resisting the pressure. Forcibly suppressing the surging blood, he said coldly.
"Report to the Princess and Young Clan Head Tobirama, we have discovered traces of the Hagoromo clan remnants."
The one who came in was the Uzumaki clan member who was cooperating with Senju Haoji in the search. He bowed respectfully to Uzumaki Mito, only arched his hand simply to Senju Tobirama, and said.
"Is it a team of all old men?"
Senju Tobirama didn't care about the differential treatment of the Uzumaki clan. At this moment, he was more concerned about the movements of the Hagoromo clan.
"This time it's not. I can sense several powerful chakra presences, as well as the aura of women and children."
The Uzumaki clan member explained.
During this period, the remnants of the Hagoromo clan had broken into pieces. Most of the teams they tracked were composed of elderly people, who would open forbidden jutsu to die together as soon as they met, causing heavy losses to the Senju clan's cleanup squad.
"It seems it's them!"
Senju Tobirama stood up excitedly. After chasing for so long, he had finally caught up with the core figures of the Hagoromo clan. As long as these guys were wiped out, his father's great revenge would be avenged.
"Who is your leader?"
The white-haired guy asked impatiently.
"Back to the Young Clan Head, it is Captain Senju Haoji."
"Haoji, huh! Then I'm relieved."
Hearing that it was Senju Haoji who was pursuing, Senju Tobirama felt settled in his heart.
A few years ago, Senju Haoji encountered the Uchiha clan's interception. Between life and death, he stimulated great potential. After escaping death, his strength greatly increased, and he became the leader among the elite captains.
"Since they've been found, our agreement is considered completed. Notify everyone to prepare to leave."
Uzumaki Mito couldn't stay with this white-haired kid for even a minute. Hearing that the target had been found, she immediately indicated that she wanted to take the Uzumaki clan members and leave.
"Hmph! Don't be in such a hurry to leave. We still need someone to lead the way."
Senju Tobirama also wished Uzumaki Mito would leave quickly, but he didn't know the specific location of the Hagoromo clan, so he proposed with an unhappy face that someone needed to lead the way.
"Princess, let me go."
The Uzumaki clan member who came to report volunteered.
"Forget it, I'll go take a look. I haven't moved my muscles since I came here. You are responsible for notifying other clan members. Pack up before I come back."
Uzumaki Mito didn't want to waste too much time, so she immediately indicated that she would go out in person, letting the reporting clan member hurry up and notify the clan members outside to gather.
"You want to go?"
Senju Tobirama frowned, always feeling that this guy wasn't so kind.
"I just want to finish the mission quickly and go home. The Uzumaki clan gathering is approaching soon. Clan members outside will all rush back these few days."
Uzumaki Mito raised her beautiful eyebrows and said to Senju Tobirama, who had a look of suspicion.
"Afraid I'll harm you?"
"Nonsense, then let's set off quickly!"
Senju Tobirama recalled that the day of the Uzumaki clan's annual gathering was indeed approaching, so he didn't continue to question her. He took the lead in lifting the curtain and walked out.
Before long, Senju Tobirama, who had gathered a team of Senju elites, crossed his arms. The indigo armor emitted bursts of cold air.
His scarlet eyes were half-closed, and the fingers frequently tapping on the hand armor revealed uncontrollable anger.
"Damn woman, why hasn't she come out yet?"
"What's the rush? I have to ask which direction it is specifically?"
Uzumaki Mito, who arrived late, rolled her eyes, and replied with a very unkind tone.
"Let's go, follow closely and don't fall behind."
No more nonsense, having understood the general direction, Uzumaki Mito kicked off her feet and flew toward the direction of the Hagoromo clan's transfer.
"Move out!"
Senju Tobirama waved his hand and led the Senju clan's elites to follow the departing red back quickly.
On the other side
"Gin, who exactly were you thinking of just now?"
The girl beside Uchiha Gin gritted her teeth and asked. She had never seen that expression on Gin's face before. He must be thinking of some seductive vixen.
"Oh my, I already said, I was thinking of Dalong's barbecue just now. After the mission is done, I'll treat everyone to eat again."
Uchiha Gin explained stubbornly. Anyway, Uchiha Guang didn't know Uzumaki Mito, and the two girls probably wouldn't meet until more than ten years later.
"Impossible! Are you thinking of that big-chested girl who makes shaved ice?"
(°°)? Uchiha Uchiha Zhili, who was eating melon seeds on the side.
Seeing Uchiha Gin talking about other things, the girl started to check one by one, and activated her Sharingan to stare at him, wanting to monitor whether his answer was lying from his facial micro-expressions.
"How is that possible? My relationship with Lady Aunt Yongmei is just a normal py relationship. Don't talk nonsense and soil people's innocence."
Uchiha Gin said righteously, his whole body emitting the light of justice, stinging the girl so much that she had to close her eyes.
At the same time, she missed the opportunity to monitor micro-expressions. When the light dissipated, Uchiha Gin was already back to normal, and no clues could be seen.
"Then it must be that stinky brat at home!"
Uchiha Guang gritted her teeth. She hadn't expected that even after coming out, he was still thinking about that little BZ at home. It wasn't enough for her to be by his side, he still had to look at the pot while eating from the bowl.
"Huh???"
Girl, can you be any more outrageous? I, Uchiha Gin, am an upright man, straight from head to toe. How could I be bewitched by that little Nan Liang?
"Tsk! It seems it's neither. Tell me quickly, are you hiding someone else you didn't tell me!"
Uchiha Guang reached out and grabbed Uchiha Gin's arm, sticking it to her body, showing a look of grievance, looking at him pitifully, trying to arouse the other party's pity.
"I swear by the lower-body happiness of the Uchiha ancestor! If I think of other women, I will be..."
Uchiha Gin immediately raised a hand, his face showing uprightness, sweeping away his usual lazy temperament, and started swearing oath after oath in a solemn tone.
But he didn't notice that on the back of the hand he raised, a long-lost pattern flashed.
The next second
A show fist descending from the sky smashed toward the top of Uchiha Gin's head, who was swearing a poisonous oath using his cousin.
Half an hour ago
"Are you taking us on a detour?"
Senju Tobirama, who had been rushing with Uzumaki Mito for a long time, was a bit irritable. At seventeen, he wasn't as steady as he would be in the future.
Sensing that their group seemed to have been going in circles, he couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and started questioning the red-haired woman leading the way in front.
"Are you questioning my perception?"
Uzumaki Mito stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, looking at Senju Tobirama behind her with a cold face.
Damn! This white-haired brat actually noticed.
"However, this mark was made by me ten minutes ago. How did we return here?"
Senju Tobirama pointed to an obscure mark on a big tree and said angrily.
"Long-winded! You're making it so I can't perceive clearly."
Uzumaki Mito, seeing that the matter was exposed, started to act unreasonably.
"Don't you know that perception is a very delicate operation? You've been chattering beside me, and I haven't been able to concentrate!"
She spoke with confidence, not worthy of being the version T0.
"Call... please be serious. Our time is tight and the mission is heavy. Besides, you don't want your big brother to stay on the front line forever, right?"
In desperation, the cunning Senju Tobirama had no choice but to use the classic threat.
"Tsk!"
Thinking of her battle-crazy big brother, Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but click her tongue in her heart. That guy Uzumaki Huadao is really not worry-free.
"Follow closely."
No longer going in circles, Uzumaki Mito jumped onto a high branch and chased in the direction of Uchiha Gin and the others.
Before long, a group of people arrived at the location where Uchiha Gin intercepted Senju Haoji.
"Wait! There is a very rich chakra residue in front."
Sensing the traces left on the battlefield, Uzumaki Mito waved her hand to stop everyone, furrowed her delicate brows, and said in a deep voice.
"Is it Haoji and the others? Hurry!"
Since there were traces of battle, it must be that Senju Haoji had caught up with the Hagoromo clan. They should hurry to support them.
"Something's wrong, I don't sense any life aura."
Feeling the situation was weird, Uzumaki Mito didn't choose to go forward, turned her head, and told Senju Tobirama the situation truthfully with a solemn face.
"Then what are we waiting for! They must be fighting and retreating, Haoji and the others are still chasing, hurry!"
Ignoring the worried Uzumaki Mito, the anxious Senju Tobirama led people to rush to the place where Uchiha Gin slaughtered the Senju squad. As they arrived, the scene before them made their eyes split with anger.
As for Uzumaki Mito, she muttered to herself in place, because from that chakra, she distinguished a long-lost aura, the aura she had been thinking about day and night, tossing and turning,
"No way, no way? How could that human trafficker be here?"
