After many years, Kushina still remembered the location of her courtyard, but she completely forgot where the shrine was.
Fortunately, Mito was well prepared. Before she passed away, she drew the location of the shrine on a piece of paper.
From this we can see Mito's thoughts.
You must know that for an ethnic group, the shrine is the most important thing. Wherever the ethnic group is, the shrine will be enshrined.
Therefore, the shrine was moved to Konoha, and the Uzumaki clan will always be the ninjas of Konoha.
Therefore, Mito hopes that Kushina can become the leader of the Uzumaki clan in Konoha Hidden Village!
One person is a clan.
And Uzushio Village will become complete history.
It doesn't matter if Kushina Ming doesn't understand this, as long as the Third Hokage understands it.
As for whether Kushina alone can strengthen the clan, there is definitely no problem.
After all, no matter who Kushina marries, she will not change her last name according to custom. Moreover, for the continuation of the clan, her children will at least have the surname Uzumaki in the future.
If this continues for a long time, within four or five generations, an ethnic group will rise again.
Not to mention Mito's thoughts, according to the marks on the map, Tatsumi and Kushina walked towards the northeast corner of Uzumaki Country.
Mito is indeed a soul painter. A map is drawn crookedly and has an abstract quality. If you don't know her very well, you won't be able to understand what the painting is about.
Not long after, the two walked into a dense forest.
"It should be here."
Kushina kicked the ground with a layer of vegetation and soil, but found no special marks.
"I'll do it." Chen formed a seal with his hands, and a wind blade cut through the soil along the ground, revealing the buried things.
A red stone covered with black lines, with the emblem of the Uzumaki clan on the edge.
Kushina put her hands together and began to form seals. After more than forty seals were completed, black lines suddenly began to spread, and then, a translucent dome-shaped barrier, centered on a red stone, enveloped the two of them.
When I opened my eyes again, the scene in front of me had completely changed. It was no longer a dense forest, but a rather magnificent building.
Chen felt it and found that this place was no longer the original place.
"Time and space barrier?"
He stepped in front of the barrier and pressed his palm on it, feeling a cold and tough touch.
"Rasengan!"
Light blue chakra suddenly condensed and broke towards the barrier.
puff!
Like a mud cow falling into the sea, Chen's hands were as empty as wild fields, and the previous chakra was completely swallowed.
"It's really amazing!" He couldn't help but admire. This barrier could actually swallow chakra on its own and become stronger. It was indeed a seal set by the Uzumaki clan.
After observing for a while, the two walked towards the shrine.
The shrine is very spacious. There are two tall stone monuments standing in front of both sides of the gate, with the swirling clan emblem engraved on them. In the center of the gate, there is a stone statue.
It was a stone statue with two horns and three eyes but an expressionless and slightly ferocious face. Its arms were stretched forward, its elbows were bent, and its hands were in a posture about to join hands, but the palms were facing forward at an angle. , this posture allows people who walk into this shrine to see the palm of the stone statue at first glance, as well as the sun and moon symbols drawn in the center of the palm.
"It seems that in addition to the stone tablets of the Uchiha clan, the Uzumaki clan also has things from the Six Paths era."
Chen and Kushina studied it for a while, but didn't find anything too special. They passed this old antique and walked towards the dusty main hall.
Directly opposite is a row of tablets enshrining the clan chiefs of past dynasties, but because no one paid attention to them, they were already covered with dust.
After looking around the main hall, the two discovered a wall of masks on the south side.
"Is this... a death mask?"
Chen remembered the masks collected in the Uzumaki Clan's Namendo in the manga.
He originally wondered why the Uzumaki clan's mask appeared in Konoha, but now it seems that it was brought back by Kushina.
But after Kushina's death, the Uzumaki clan's shrine was abandoned again until Orochimaru appeared there.
Chen picked up a mask. He didn't know what material it was made of, but it felt cold and bone-chilling.
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears, urging him to put on the mask.
Chen was slightly absent-minded and slowly raised his right hand.
"Bang!" Kushina took out a kunai and smashed it against the mask. Under the impact of the kunai, the mask broke away from the boy's hand and fell to the ground, rolling around a few times before stopping.
Chen woke up suddenly and gasped for air.
"Are you okay?" Kushina asked with concern.
"It's okay," Chen shook his head, "What happened to that mask just now?"
"Don't touch them. These are called Prajna masks. They are very evil."
"Prajna mask?"
"Yes, each mask has different names depending on the forbidden spells it can cast. As for the origin...
The legend is that it was formed by a woman's strong resentment. I don't know whether it is true or not. Anyway, Grandma Mito said that these masks have been passed down since the time of the Six Paths Sage. "
"A woman's resentment... It's still something from the Six Paths Sage era..." Chen felt a little scared in his heart.
"Could it be that old woman Kaguya?"
Chen shuddered.
"It shouldn't be her. She's still sealed on the moon."
After this episode, the two began to search more carefully, and then... rummaged through the boxes.
Since Mito said he would bring back Konoha, he would bring back everything valuable.
After two hours of final writhing, Chen and Kushina put even the statue at the door into the sealing scroll.
If this shrine wasn't too big, both of them would want to take it back to Konoha together.
… …
"Chen, do you think Uncle Hokage will carve out a piece of land in the village to use as clan land for the Uzumaki clan?" Kushina blinked, with a hint of cunning in it.
"No, with Kana included, there are only two of you Uzumaki clan."
"... That's it." Kushina was a little disappointed, "Then how to build the Uzumaki clan's shrine?"
"I'll probably give you a piece of land in the forest in the village."
“…”
"What's wrong?"
"I'm still thinking about setting aside a piece of land for me in the center of the village. Then I can rent out the house and sit at home to collect money."
Chen rolled his eyes.
At this young age, I want to be a housekeeper who eats and drinks all day long, wakes up naturally from sleep, and has cramped hands when counting money.
Is this the pursuit of the past life
At this moment, the two of them suddenly felt a vibration coming from the ground. Such a strong vibration was like an earthquake, which made people feel uneasy.
Is the Country of Whirlpool still a country prone to earthquakes
With this thought in his mind, Chen flew to a big tree and glanced towards the coast, only to find something unusual.
The small boat that had dropped its anchor and anchored had completely disappeared.
“…”
Chen still believed in his own judgment about people. He didn't think that an old man who had lived his whole life would steal a ship.
What's more, he knew where Lao Muzi's family lived, and yet he did such a thing, wasn't he looking for death
"Did there be an accident?"
Without Himeji here, Tatsuya couldn't see the specific situation clearly, even if he had his Sharingan activated, it would be useless.
"Walk."
Jumping down from the big tree, Chen and Kushina ran towards the beach.
… …
(PS Prajna is a kind of ghost in Japanese folklore. It is said to be formed by women's strong jealousy and resentment. It is characterized by two horns on the top of the head and pointed ears, which is very similar to the death mask in Naruto)
