Naruto Shining Twin Stars

Chapter 17 Mask

The Uzumaki clan's shrine is far from the center of Konoha, on the edge of the village.The road paved with stone slabs twists and turns, and the tough weeds stretch their bodies stubbornly in the gaps.There are towering trees growing on both sides of the road, and the few remaining rays of light can no longer break through the blockade of leaves.

"It's really a remote place, very gloomy. It's right for me and Shui Jing to come here, it's too unsuitable for girls." Minato looked around, he didn't expect that there was an unknown shrine hidden here in the village.

"Kushina, I would like to ask. Why does your family have a shrine in the village?" The implication of Minato's words is: Families with independent shrines in Konoha are all famous families, such as Uchiha, such as Butterfly... and he had never heard of the whirlpool.

"I also found out not long ago. According to Grandma Mito, our Uzumaki clan has been friends with Konoha for generations, so we set up a shrine in the village. But with the development of the village, the center is getting farther and farther away from the shrine. What?" As she became familiar with Minato and Mizukage, Kushina let go of her usual disguise and spoke more and more freely and easily, inevitably bringing her own unique catchphrase.

"Grandma Mito?" Both Minato and Mizukage noticed the name.

"Well, it's the first generation's wife, the legendary female ninja of our Uzumaki clan! Grandma Mito is my idol." When it comes to Uzumaki Mito, Kushina's eyes shine brightly, and she is a standard brain-dead fan.

"I believe Kushina, you will become a female ninja like Uzumaki Mito-sama." Minato looked at Kushina with a rosy face at this time, and smiled softly.

"Well, I want to become Konoha's No.1 Hokage!"

"Then we are competitors, I don't know how to let go!" Mimicking Kushina's catchphrase, Minato found it quite amusing.

"Kushina, besides Mito-sama, where are your other family members?"

"They all died in the war..."

"Sorry, I……"

"It's okay, that's why I'm going to be Hokage. I'm going to put an end to the war forever..."

The two talked and laughed, and the slightly gloomy road was no longer frightening.

Shui Jing, who was slightly behind the two of them, curled his lips: Minato, your flirting skills are MAX.If you have a wife, you forget about your younger brother.

Speaking of Mito, Mizukage looked at Kushina, who admired her so much, and guessed that no one had told Kushina that she would become Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Here we are." The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in front of the empty square.

"The shrine is divided into the front hall and the back hall. The back hall is also called the Namian hall. There are many masks of ghosts and gods in it. I will show you two boys in a while. It is very scary, hehe!" With a smile, he flushed the water door and the water mirror with teeth and claws.Minato touched his head and smirked. Seeing his brother who was about to fall, Shui Jing just raised the spiral pill in his palm: "No matter how scary you are, you can't stop my attack, silly girl."

"Hey, who are you calling stupid? Be careful, I'll beat you up."

"Shui Jing, I told you not to bully girls!"

"Okay, okay, two adults, let me go, I was wrong." Shui Jing could only be discouraged, and the hunched appearance attracted Minato and Kushina to laugh.

Kushina devoutly worshiped the gods enshrined by the Uzumaki clan. After closing his eyes and drawing a magic lottery, he shyly held the magic lottery into his arms.Seeing Shui Jing always suspected that this little girl wouldn't be asking for a marriage lottery, right?Sneaking a peek at Mizumon, Shui Jing was also speechless: she was yearning for spring at a young age, and there was no one else.

When worshiping Jiu Xinnai, Shui Jing looked at the rock-carved god in this shrine: the head has two horns, the mouth has fangs, and the eyes are black and white.Sitting cross-legged on the ground, scattered in the sky.The right hand holds the sun up, and the left hand points down to the netherworld.

Upon closer inspection, the earth is made up of countless white bones! "What the hell is this, the Uzumaki clan has really strong tastes!"

"Go to the back and have a look, cowards don't come here!" Looking at Shui Jing provocatively, Kushina led the water gate and ran to the apse.

"Brother was known as the little prince of horror movies in his previous life. A few masks can scare me? You are still not convinced by saying you are stupid."

When Mizukage stepped into the Namian Hall, Kushina was introducing the various masks hanging on the wall to Mizumon.In her mouth, each mask represents a god, and each god hides a myth.

The moment his feet stepped over the threshold, the environment around the water mirror suddenly changed.Minato and Kushina who were talking disappeared, and the space in the Namian hall expanded infinitely, and the masks facing the water mirror came one by one.

Shui Jing, who wanted to avoid it, lost control of his body, and could only watch helplessly as the mask passed through every corner of his body.The surrounding air became more and more viscous, squeezing every inch of the water mirror's skin.He desperately opened his mouth, but couldn't take in any air.Darkness, tranquility, loneliness, coldness, and suffocation fill the perception of the water mirror!
Immediately afterwards, dense figures appeared in the field of vision.Some wear forehead protectors, some wear samurai uniforms; some are like leaders, leading their subordinates;But they all have one distinct feature: moving in one direction!Shui Jing tried his best to look in the direction of the figure, and finally saw the target clearly across an endless distance.

grim Reaper!That's the Grim Reaper in Naruto!
The god of death who was sleeping felt the gaze looking at him, and his lowered eyelids lifted slightly.It seems that something extraordinary has been discovered, and the sleeping god of death has completely awakened!There is a silent roar from the open mouth, and the bright red tongue is clearly visible inside-this is the only bright color visible in the black and white world!
The moment he opened his mouth, the roar reached the place where the water mirror was.The roar did not act on Shui Jing's ears, but on his soul.Although silent, the meaning is clear: I want to live!
When Shui Jing was trapped in this strange space, Ji Lai was also practicing in Miaomu Mountain.

"Little Ziraiya, Great Immortal Toad has a new prophecy, hurry up."

"Okay, I'll be right there. Shima-sama, I'll taste the delicious food you made next time." Jiraiya's ass seemed to be on fire, and disappeared into the room with a whoosh.

"Master Fukasaku, what did the Great Sage Toad say?" Unfortunately, when Jiraiya arrived, the Great Sage Toad from Mt. Miaomu fell asleep again.

"disaster!"

Another unknown place.

"How did the souls of living people go to the Pure Land?" In a simple sentence, the voice has changed from a child to an old man.

"Shui Jing, what's wrong with you? Don't be in a daze, Shui Jing!"

"You're not really scared, are you?"

Minato and Kushina's voices sounded like heaven to Shui Jing's ears.After an unknown amount of time in that space, a ray of heaven-like light finally brought Shui Jing back to the real world.And this bright light is the voices of Minato and Kushina and their hands shaking Mizukage's body.

"It's really scary!" Shui Jing came back to his senses and found that his back was covered with cold sweat, and goosebumps stood up all over his body.

"I'll just say it, but you're more timid than a girl like me! You're bad!" Looking at Mizukage's pale face, Kushina no longer cared about Mizukage's cool performance in front of herself and Nakoki that day. "Hey, you've seen all your embarrassing appearances! If you play cool again, you'll be exposed." Kushina smiled happily as she patted the water mirror vigorously.She didn't realize that today she smiled a lot more than usual.

Minato, however, was very worried about Shui Jing's condition. His younger brother would definitely not be so timid, something must have happened!
Shui Jing gave Minato a reassuring look, turned her head and said to Kushina: "It's late, let's get out of here. Where is your home, my brother and I will take you back."

"Okay, but put the mask away first." After speaking, Kushina put a mask that fell on the table and hung it on the mask wall again.

"Which god's mask is that?" Shui Jing looked at the mask in Jiu Xinna's hand and asked subconsciously.

"Oh, this is the mask of the god of death. The wind blew the mask off just now, and Minato and I saw you shivering behind!"

grim Reaper!

Shui Jing only knows that the death mask is the key to unlocking the ghoul seal.Does it have any connection with being able to see the space just now?
"Let's go, I'm a little hungry."

"How about we treat you to dinner?" Minato patted Mizukage's shoulder and said to Kushina.

At night, you must ask your brother clearly what happened just now!
"Ramen, I love ramen!"

Just when the three turned to leave, no one noticed that all the masks on the wall pulled out gray mist from the facial features, gathered in the mouth of the death mask, twisted into a dark gray thread and pierced Shui Jing's neck.

After the gray line touched Shui Jing's neck, the family emblem of the Uzumaki family was formed and hidden under the skin.
