"Mother?"

Naruto murmured and repeated the term. He felt like he wanted to cry, but there was a lump in his throat that made him feel like he couldn't cry at all.

The wind blew through the trees, and the swirling sound was full of indescribable entanglements and hesitations, as if it was catering to Naruto's state of mind.

Why is this happening? Why is this happening at this time?

Mingming has long been accustomed to this kind of loneliness. Mingming has endured the difficult years and times in his childhood by gritting his teeth alone. Mingming spent his childhood under the bullying of others. You have obviously convinced yourself countless times not to envy other people's parents, so why...now do you encounter something like this that you have long since stopped asking for?

"I thought... you were dead."

After a long time, Naruto spoke softly. Thanks to his acting skills in the past two years, he suppressed the choking and sadness in his words very well, and showed a calm and indifferent feeling as much as possible.

"Kid...I thought I was dead too...but no."

The Hagoromo fox looked at Naruto's back sadly. She was not angry at Naruto's indifference, because she could feel Naruto's true feelings more clearly, although this feeling that might be classified as telepathy would not be seen by others. It seems to be just a very unusual thing, but if you are a mother and son, it is not so difficult to understand.

"Then...why do you still show up? If you were hiding somewhere, wouldn't it be better to keep hiding? Why do you keep showing up?!"

Turning around suddenly, Naruto tried his best to keep lowering his voice, but found that he could no longer care about it and could only turn it into a low growl like a scolding. For him, this was not just a surprise. , but also an unavoidable pain.

"Because I am your mother! Giving birth to you is the happiest thing for me! For you, I can accept all the misfortunes and tortures in this world! Do you think that I really want you and my beloved Are the children separated?”

Hagoromo Kitsune's tone subconsciously rose, but her tone was not angry, but a sense of helpless urgency.

What kind of eloquent words and endless twists and turns should be used to describe and express the feelings in the heart?

However, before Hagoromo Kitsune finished speaking, with a snap, Naruto in front of her rushed over and hugged her tightly. Finally, he gave up his disguise and anger and buried his face in Hagoromo Kitsune's. On his shoulder, Naruto could no longer hide his choking and crying: "I've always...wanted to see you...Mom..."

"...I...the same goes for me..."

Also stopping all arguments and narration, Hagoromo Fox raised her arms and gently hugged the blond boy in front of her. The real feeling of this hug made her feel calmer than ever before.

If this is the reward obtained after paying a lot of price, then accepting it with peace of mind may be the purpose of being alive until now.

Therefore, emotion is the most wonderful power, it is real and pure, and it is the most important thing that supports life.

However, the irony is that...such a true and pure thing is determined by another false and easy-to-manipulate thing.

The name of this thing is called - memory.

The mercury lamp lying on the chaise longue has a leisurely and natural posture with its legs crossed. This is also a demonstration of its control over its own behavior. People who can be natural and leisurely anytime and anywhere can also easily face any emergencies.

In front of the mercury lantern, there is a huge heretic demon. The nine members of the Akatsuki organization so far stand on the fingers of a demon and jointly perform the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals, and Gaara's body is in the center of the technique. It was extremely painful to accept the extraction.

Mercury Lantern did not arrange a specific time for the Hagoromo Fox and Uchiha Izumi to attack the Rain Hidden Village. Naturally, they did not know when the Hagoromo Fox and Naruto would meet, but the results of these things did not require any more attention. Just like a mathematical formula, she has already put the necessary data into the formula, and all she needs to wait for is the results she expected.

Therefore, although Pain Tiandao, who is standing on the demon statue, remains calm and peaceful until now, Mercury Lamp is not worried at all that the changes that may occur in Yuyin Village will exceed imagination. This is based on her confidence in the skills of Hagoromo Kitsune and Uchiha Izumi. She knows the data of these two people best. If two against one, Nagato without the help of Tiandao and Konan cannot defeat him. Unexpected waves.

"The reinforcements from Sunagakure Village have been discovered. They are very fast. If nothing happens, they will find this place in less than a day and a half. We need someone to delay them."

Zetsu spoke suddenly. As one of the people with the strongest concealment and detection abilities in the entire Naruto world, he is obviously responsible for duties similar to sentry guards. As the party who lost the Kazekage, Sunagakure After the reinforcements from the village and the Leaf Village met, they quickly dispatched supporting personnel.

"Really? After all, he is also one of the Five Shadows. Well, Mercury Lamp, do you mind moving around a bit?"

Tendo Payne looked at the mercury lantern indifferently. This was natural. As the only person lying here and not working, letting the mercury lantern be responsible for facing the enemy was a part of preparation. What's more, it was the mercury lantern that took Gaara from Abducted by Sunagakure Village, her personal hatred value in this incident is naturally the highest. If it is not used to attract firepower, it will be a waste of her existence.

"Okay~ BOSS, although your order is a bit oppressive. However, I still want to make it clear that I may not be able to stop all enemies by myself."

Mercury Lamp shrugged, and then stood up from his chaise longue, while Pain Tiandao just nodded slightly: "Anxin~ If there are fish that slip through the net, we have some preparations here to deal with them. You don't have to get too entangled with those people. A delay will suffice.”

"Well, I'll get rid of as many people as possible."

Smiling slightly, the figure of the mercury lamp also merged strangely into the ice mirror that appeared behind her. Yes, she still had one more thing to do.

————————

Sasuke frowned and looked at the jungle in front of him. After confirming that there were no enemies on the road ahead, the young man nodded and said, "How are you? Can you continue on your way?"

The person who was with Sasuke was undoubtedly Xiang Lian who was hooked because of his lust for male sex, and the name of the two of them on this trip was also very legitimate, a B-level research mission.

The task executors are naturally Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Koso, while the task initiator is Uchiha Sasuke himself.

There is no doubt that when Hinata sent him a mission to travel with public funds, it was a bad start. At least the chunin in charge of mission registration could not find any reason to refuse, so Sasuke was able to leave Konoha quite easily. , and the humanoid sensory detector that was successfully abducted - Uzumaki Phosphorus.

"Huhu, I'm okay... By the way, Sasuke, what are we looking for? You have to tell me."

Xiang Ling, who had a wry smile on her face, did not regret it. After all, she had agreed to help Sasuke. However, the other party did not seem to have the intention to communicate with her more. Instead, she was focused on heading northwest with her head down. This made Xiang Ling Phosphorus felt helpless and at the same time extremely unwilling.

On the treetop, Sasuke hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not refuse to answer. After all, Xiang Lian risked his life to come out with him, so he felt that he had to confess to the other party.

"I'm going to Iwagakure because I suspect Naruto was taken there...but, in order to find him, I'd like to be able to borrow your senses."

Sure enough, Sasuke is a typical example of a person who never stops talking without surprising. The meaning of his words translated is: I want to go to the Hidden Village of Ananyan alone, and by the way, I want to find out from that place where there are hundreds of thousands of residents and tens of thousands of ninjas. A prisoner under strict guard. If this was the subject of a movie, I'm afraid it could be explained by a title like "Alone in the Dragon Pond" that sounds full of muscle. And this is Sasuke's plan.

In a sense, this is indeed a kind of "drawing"...

"Gudong~"

Even Xiang Lu swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously. He was not only frightened, but also partially shocked. That's right, although Sasuke didn't have a tiger's body or anything like that, his words that were full of the protagonist's aura still really shook the phosphorus.

"Okay...you don't have to worry about me, I won't run away..."

Raising his hand and patting his cheek hard, Xiang Ling tried his best to calm himself down. Anyway, he had already followed the opponent here. It doesn't seem so appropriate to escape in the middle of the battle, right?

"Well, thank you."

Nodding and thanking him, Sasuke began to measure the current itinerary. Iwagakure Village is located in the Country of Earth, and the Country of Earth is in the northwest of the Country of Fire. There are three small countries between it and the Country of Fire, namely Takino. Country, the Country of Grass and the Country of Rain. Among them, the Country of Grass and the Country of Earth have the widest border and the lowest depth. However, this means that this side of the border will also be additionally blocked by the Country of Earth. On the contrary, it is not suitable as the best way to go.

The country of Taki is in the far north, so it will undoubtedly take more travel to get there. Therefore, the best choice can only be the Kingdom of Rain at the bottom.

"Huh?! Be careful, Sasuke! Someone is coming!"

At this moment, Xiang Ling, who was responsible for sensing, was suddenly startled, and then hurriedly warned Sasuke. The latter also looked serious, and subconsciously put his fingers on the handle of the knife behind his waist.

It was obviously too late to hide at this time, especially since the two figures on the opposite side were extremely fast. Just when Sasuke and Karin were about to fight, they heard a loud shout in their ears: "Take the move! Sonic Knife!"

This sound made Sasuke stunned for a moment, but then he instinctively swiped sideways to avoid the light blue wind blade that circled and flew out of the woods. At this time, a figure also jumped from the woods on the opposite side. He came out: "You can actually escape my attack. You still have... hmm?! Sasuke?!"

"..."

In contrast to the vitality of the figure opposite, Sasuke just stood up straight in silence, and silently put down his fingers on the handle of the knife. It seemed that he no longer had to go to Iwagakure Village to stage the drama of breaking into Longtan alone.

There is no doubt that it was Naruto who jumped out. After escaping from the Hidden Rain Village with the Hagoromo Fox, he certainly did not intend to stay in the enemy's territory for too long, but was preparing to find a way back to Konoha nearby. By chance, he met Arriving at the looking for Sasuke.

"Huh? What's wrong Naruto, is he someone you know?"
