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 what Mito is thinking.
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, if the shrine is moved to Konoha, then Uzumaki Clan will always be the ninja of Konoha.
Therefore, Mito hopes that Kushina can become the patriarch of Konoha Hidden Village Uzumaki Clan!
One person is a clan.
And Uzumaki Village will become complete history.
It doesn't matter whether Kushina understands this truth, as long as Third Hokage understands it.
As for whether Kushina alone can expand the family, there is definitely no problem.
After all, no matter who Kushina marries, he will not change his surname according to custom. Moreover, for the continuation of the family, her children will have at least one surname Uzumaki Clan 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, Chen and Kushina walked towards the northeast corner of Land of Whirlpools.
Mito is truly a soul painter. A map is drawn in a crooked and abstract style. 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 covered with a layer of vegetation and soil, but found no special marks.
"I'll do it." Chen Hand Seals his hands, and a Wind Blade cut the soil along the ground, revealing the buried things.
——A red stone covered with black lines, with the clan emblem of the Uzumaki Clan on the edge.
Kushina Put your hands together and start Hand Seals. After more than forty seals, black lines suddenly began to spread, and then, a translucent dome-shaped barrier with a red stone as the center 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 the Seal set up by the Uzumaki Clan.
After observing for a while, the two walked towards the shrine.
The shrine is very spacious. On both sides of the gate, there are two tall Stone Tablet standing in front, with the clan emblem of the Uzumaki Clan engraved on them. In the center of the gate, there is a stone statue.
It is a stone statue with two horns and three eyes but an expressionless and slightly ferocious face. Its arms are stretched forward, its elbows are bent, and its hands are in a posture about to join hands, but the palms are forward at an angle. This posture allows people who walk into the shrine to see the palms of the stone statue at first glance, as well as the sun and moon symbols painted on the center of the palms.
"It seems that in addition to Stone Tablet from the Uchiha Clan, 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.
"This is...Reaper Death Seal Mask?"
Chen remembered the mask collected in the comic Uzumaki Clan Mask Storage Temple.
He was originally wondering why Uzumaki Clan's mask appeared in Konoha, but now it seems that it was brought back by Kushina.
But after Kushina died, 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 Kunai and smashed it against the mask. Under the impact of Kunai, the mask broke away from the boy's hand and fell to the ground. It rolled 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 it, these are called Hannya Mask, they are very evil."
"Hannya Mask?"
"Yes, each mask has different names depending on the Forbidden Jutsu 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 Sage of Six Paths era. "
"A woman's resentment... is still something from the Sage of Six Paths era..." Chen felt a little embarrassed.
"Could it be that old woman Kaguya?"
Chen shuddered.
"It shouldn't be her. This girl is still Seal on the moon."
After this episode, the two began to search more carefully, and then... rummaged through the boxes.
Since Mito said to bring Konoha back, then as long as it is valuable, he will bring everything back.
After two hours of fussing, Chen and Kushina even put the statue at the door into Sealing Scroll.
If this shrine wasn't too big, both of them would like to bring Konoha back together.
"Chen, do you think Hokage Uncle will set aside a piece of land in the village for the Uzumaki Clan to be Clan Grounds?" Kushina blinked, with a hint of cunning in it.
"No, plus Kana, you Uzumaki Clan are just two people."
"... That's it." Kushina was a little disappointed, "Then how to build Uzumaki Clan's shrine?"
"I'll probably give you a piece of land in the forest of 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 turned over Byakugan.
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 Land of Whirlpools still a country with many 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 knows where Old Muzi lives, and yet he does such a thing, isn't he looking for death?
"Did there be an accident?"
There is no Himeji here. Chen can't see the specific situation clearly. Even if Sharingan is turned on, it is useless.
"Let's go."
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 Reaper Death Seal Mask in Hokage)
