Chapter 129

Stared at by the majestic Wood Release First Hokage, Uzumaki Mito in the golden colossus couldn't help but feel her heart tremble.

Recalling the cherry-red Susanoo that had just been severely "taught a lesson," the girl wisely dispelled her secret technique.

The towering golden colossus stood frozen in place, and the chains on its body, under Uzumaki Mito's manipulation, began to retract rapidly; in just a few breaths, the giant that had been imposing just a moment ago vanished without a trace.

"Hmm~"

As the last golden chain was sucked back into her body, Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but moan.

The numb feeling behind her waist made her legs feel a bit weak; she barely managed to prop herself up, looking at the Wood Release First Hokage before her with eyes like water, a hidden mix of three parts anticipation and seven parts shyness in her pitch-black pupils.

Uchiha Gin began to size up this old acquaintance he hadn't seen in a long time.

The Uzumaki Mito before him was eighteen or nineteen years old but still wore the same bun hairstyle from when they parted back then.

Her charming oval face had bright eyes and white teeth, and her cherry lips were slightly pouted, as if telling of the girl's feelings; she wore a form-fitting red robe, displaying her age-defying voluptuousness to the fullest.

It's been a few years, isn't the change a bit too much?

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Uchiha Gin truly couldn't connect the soul-stirring girl before him with the reckless bean sprout from six years ago.

"Swish! ~"

Since they were acquaintances, Uchiha Gin dispelled his battle stance, formed hand seals with his fingers, and released his Wood Human Technique; the giant First Hokage began to collapse and dissipate as the chakra supply was cut off.

Uchiha Gin jumped out from the indicator on his chest and landed in front of the indifferent-looking Uzumaki Mito.

"What should I do? He's coming over; what should I say?"

"Will I lose points looking like this, with a plain face?"

"I wonder if he's married now, or if he has a girlfriend."

As Uchiha Gin approached, the girl, who looked calm on the surface, was actually panicking inside, with countless thoughts popping into her head simultaneously, which couldn't help but make her feel a wave of dizziness.

With her brain idling, Uzumaki Mito, who had been elegant, dignified, and cool-tempered just a second ago, tilted her head the next moment, her body falling backward uncontrollably.

"Long time no..."

Uchiha Gin, who was pondering how to greet Uzumaki Mito after their long-awaited reunion, had just opened his mouth when he saw the charming girl, who had been looking normal just a moment ago, fall straight backward.

"Thump~"

Uchiha Gin, with quick eyes and fast hands, used a Body Flicker to catch the falling Uzumaki Mito in his arms; worried about whether the girl was injured, he immediately used medical ninjutsu to check her body.

After the chakra had made a circuit through the girl's warm, jade-like body, Uchiha Gin showed a puzzled expression.

Uzumaki Mito's body was perfectly normal; there was no lack of chakra, nor any sign of exhaustion—the Uzumaki bloodline was truly terrifying.

Why would she faint then?

Uchiha Gin couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

"Hmm~~~"

Just as Uchiha Gin was preparing to check her carefully from the inside out again, Uzumaki Mito's long eyelashes in his arms trembled, and her crimson lips let out a soft moan.

Then she slowly opened her eyes, and a pair of deep, pitch-black pupils were like endless black holes, sucking in all of Uchiha Gin's attention.

The awakened Uzumaki Mito didn't struggle, a thought-provoking look swirling in her beautiful eyes.

"Na na na~~"

Uchiha Guang, having recovered her body, looked at the two men and women before her whose atmosphere was very wrong, and let out a loser's sound in a flustered manner, trying her best to break the thick ambiguity between the two.

"Gin! Who is this woman who offends public decency!"

Uchiha Guang, unable to accept being relegated to the background, used all her strength to roar at the distracted Uchiha Gin.

"Don't be anxious, I'm just checking her body."

Uchiha Gin forcibly moved his gaze away from the girl's charming face, taking the opportunity to find an excuse for himself.

"Long time no see."

Uchiha Gin helped the girl stand straight, extended a hand to scratch his face, appearing somewhat awkward.

He hadn't expected to meet the girl from back then again in such a desolate wilderness.

"Yes, long time no see, Mr. Human Trafficker."

Uzumaki Mito, having regained sensation in her body, tidied up her appearance and revealed a dignified and proper smile toward Uchiha Gin; her aristocratic temperament and demeanor killed the disheveled Uchiha Guang on the side without leaving a trace of residue.

"Tsk! I already said I'm not a human trafficker!"

Hearing this title again after many years, while Uchiha Gin felt nostalgic, he couldn't help but start correcting the girl's incorrect address.

"I didn't know your name, so I could only call you that."

Uzumaki Mito raised her head, her black pupils as if they could speak, revealing the girl's inner thoughts completely.

"Let's reintroduce ourselves; my name is Uchiha Gin."

Many years later, Uchiha Gin finally gave a belated self-introduction to the girl who had been waiting for many years.

"Gin, is it?"

Hearing the other party's self-introduction, the girl's mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes brewed with feelings that made people intoxicated; as she spoke, she extended her fair, delicate hand toward Uchiha Gin.

"Long time no see, Mr. Uchiha Gin."

"Hmm, hmm, hmm~ Gin! Do you really know this woman?"

Uchiha Guang, who had almost bitten her sleeve to pieces, had eyes full of hostility; the monstrous malice made Uzumaki Mito, who was sensitive to emotional perception, couldn't help but look sideways.

"Mr. Gin, this girl?"

"That's right! I am Gin's..."

It was finally her turn to introduce herself; looking at the other party's tall and voluptuous figure, Uchiha Guang gritted her teeth, preparing to reclaim her territory and give this woman who offended public decency a warning.

But before she could finish, a flash of realization crossed Uzumaki Mito's eyes; her vermilion lips parted slightly, and she replied first.

"You must be Mr. Gin's little sister! It's good that you're not old yet; remember to eat more vegetables and drink more milk in the future so your body can develop healthily~"

The serious tone didn't seem fake, but the cunning in her eyes couldn't escape Uchiha Guang's pair of 24K Eternal Mangekyo.

The girl, who was not lightly angered, tried hard to puff out her barren hills, preparing to teach this strange woman what "first come, first served" meant, but she saw the other party's expression change from charming to nervous.

"Now is not the time to talk about this; Mr. Gin, you should leave quickly, the Senju clan's pursuers will arrive immediately."

Busy reminiscing, she had almost forgotten the white-haired guy trailing behind; that guy treated the Uchiha as enemies, and if he found out that the person assisting the Hagoromo remnants in relocating was the Uchiha clan, he definitely wouldn't give up easily.

"Senju clan? Who's coming?"

Recalling what the girl had just said, could it really be that white-haired guy leading people in pursuit?

"It's the Senju clan's young clan leader, Senju Tobirama; that kid has many tricks and schemes, you must be careful!"

Fearing that Uchiha Gin wouldn't take it seriously, the anxious Uzumaki Mito mercilessly betrayed her teammate's information.

Tsk! Is it really him? That kid shouldn't be staying at home doing research; why is he running here to chase the Hagoromo clan?

"It's fine~ don't worry, mere Senju..."

Although that white-haired guy's future reputation was loud, he should only be about the same age as his little cousin right now; a mere little white-haired guy was not worth mentioning to him now.

"Sure enough, it's the naturally evil Uchiha; release that Uzumaki clan member quickly!"

Uchiha Gin extended his hand, saying comforting words, and patted Uzumaki Mito's delicate shoulder, thinking of letting the girl ease her mind.

Unexpectedly, just as his hand made contact with the girl, a roar full of anger broke the pleasant exchange between the few.

Countless black figures flashed out of the forest; the leader was none other than Senju Tobirama, whom he hadn't seen in many years; the roar just now had also come from his mouth.

Uchiha Gin looked in surprise at Senju Tobirama, who was almost identical to his future appearance; he hadn't expected this kid to be precocious, and his appearance had actually started to set from this time.

White-gray hair, wearing a face mask with the Senju clan crest, a few clear red marks on his face that had shed its childishness, wearing classic indigo battle armor; there were no tomoe in his scarlet eyes, but the cold light leaking from them made people feel a chill.

I knew it, it must be the Uchiha!

Just now, Senju Tobirama, who had been waiting for Uzumaki Mito's return for a long time, felt a flash of unease in his heart, so he ordered his subordinates to start searching for the girl's tracks, but they found nothing; just as he was in a state of anxiety, he suddenly discovered the sonic boom coming from the distance.

Then, he saw the golden colossus suddenly appear in the sky in the distance.

From those golden chains, he could be certain that it was the Uzumaki clan's secret technique, but he didn't know why it had turned into that kind of giant.

With no time to think, guessing that Uzumaki Mito might have encountered enemies, he immediately gathered his subordinates and rushed to the battle site.

Because they were far from the battlefield, plus the layers of sand and dust kicked up by the shockwaves, the Senju clan members couldn't effectively observe what had happened on the battlefield; they only knew the battle was very intense, and the huge sounds made the earth several kilometers away tremble.

"Hurry! That annoying woman cannot have anything happen to her!"

So-called public and private separation; although he personally rejected Uzumaki Mito very much, the status of an ally made Senju Tobirama have to attach importance to it; if something happened to that woman, how would he explain it to his big brother?

Thinking of this, Senju Tobirama exerted force under his feet, a flash of obscure light in his scarlet eyes, and his body suddenly disappeared from where he was, appearing dozens of meters away the next moment.

Tsk! This move is still not very proficient.

Feeling the tearing sensation in his calves, Senju Tobirama gritted his teeth; it seemed it was still too early to use the secret weapon he had developed in actual combat.

He then switched to a normal way of traveling; when he led a group of Senju elites to arrive at the battle site, the dust and smoke that had been obscuring the vision gradually dissipated, and Senju Tobirama, who had regained his vision, immediately saw a scene that made his heart ache.

His future sister-in-law was standing in front of a strange man in a weird posture, and her physical state should be very bad.

And that strange man was actually extending his dirty hands toward Uzumaki Mito.

The man was followed by a young girl; the sensitive Senju Tobirama saw at a glance the familiar scarlet in that girl's eyes; that kind of cold and obscure aura made the Uchiha radar in his brain buzz.

"Naturally evil Uchiha, damn it!"
