A few days later, the sun was still shining brightly on this land.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura were traveling around the territory as usual, carrying out daily patrol tasks around the territory.
Their figures shuttled between the mountains and forests, their eyes scanning all the movements around them with vigilance.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki During the busy breaks, I always unconsciously cast my sights on the towering tree in the distance.
The tree towered into the clouds, and its lush branches and leaves were like a huge green umbrella, covering the sky.
It stands there quietly, as if it hides countless unknown secrets.
At the same time, the words that the mysterious black-robed man said a few days ago kept echoing in his mind.
"If you want to know, just turn over it. The world after turning over it is very common~"
"The world after turning over is very exciting~"
"The world will be so wonderful after that~~~"
"It's wonderful~~~~"
(The above is the echo in Hagoromo Otsutsuki's mind)
Those words were like a fog, lingering in his heart, leaving him puzzled.
At this moment, Hamura Otsutsuki slowly walked over. He noticed his brother's absent-minded look.
He asked softly, "Brother, are you thinking about what the man in black robe said again?"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki was brought back to reality by his younger brother's voice.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Yes, I can't help but think about what he said..."
"And our mother, why did she explicitly forbid us from approaching that big tree? Furthermore, why do people in the village keep going to worship under that tree, but no one ever comes back alive? This series of mysteries really puzzles me."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki said while frowning and falling into deep thought.
Hamura nodded, agreeing with his brother's view. He continued, "Well, actually I have noticed it. My mother often looks in the direction of the tree alone and is lost in thought. She seems to have lost her soul.
"And whenever we wanted to ask about that tree, she always avoided talking and seemed very secretive. In my opinion, there must be some earth-shattering secret in it."
At this time, both brothers have grown up and are at an age where they are full of curiosity about everything in the world.
The mother's various abnormal behaviors and the secrets hidden behind the mysterious tree have naturally become the mysteries that they are most eager to explore.
"Hagoromo! Hamura!"
Suddenly, a clear and urgent cry broke the silence around him.
Hamura Otsutsuki and Hagoromo Otsutsuki followed the sound one after another, and saw a figure flying towards them.
When the figure got closer, it was a girl in simple clothes.
She was wearing coarse clothes and her hair was simply tied up, but her big and lively eyes were particularly eye-catching.
This girl's name is Haori, and she is a civilian girl that Hagoromo Otsutsuki often comes into contact with on a daily basis.
Hearing the call, Hagoromo Otsutsuki hurried forward to greet him, his face full of concern. "What's the matter? Haori."
Hamura, who was standing aside, quietly watched the scene in front of him.
He knew very well that his eldest brother had special feelings for Haori, and perhaps this feeling had gone beyond the friendship between ordinary friends.
Haori stopped panting, and spoke anxiously without caring to catch his breath, "There is no water in the ditches in the territory for some reason! It is the busy farming season now, and if there is no water to irrigate the farmland, this year's harvest will probably be greatly reduced."
"Everyone is as worried as ants on a hot pot, so I came here to ask for your help and check to see what happened."
After saying that, she looked at Hagoromo with expectant eyes, a hint of pleading flashing in her eyes.
Hagoromo nodded without hesitation and responded, "Don't worry, Haori. Since the matter is so urgent, we, as the children of Rabbit Goddess, have a duty to do so!"
The two of them have been with humans for so many years and understand humans very well.
They have supernatural powers that humans don't have.
After saying that, he turned to look at Hamura beside him, smiled and motioned to go with him.
Hamura nodded slightly and agreed.
Just like that, the two brothers, led by Haori, quickly ran toward the ditch in the territory, ready to find out.
The two walked along and found that there was no water in the entire upper reaches.
So we simply went to the top.
At this moment, their pupils shrank at the same time.
They saw a huge rock as big as a hill suddenly appearing in front of them where the water was originally flowing gently.
This stone just lay across the middle of the river, cutting off the originally unobstructed water and forming a small waterfall.
However, this was not the reason why they were extremely shocked. What really made them stunned and their hearts beating faster was that there was a mysterious figure shrouded in black robes standing firmly next to the stone.
! And this man in black robes was the mysterious man they had accidentally glimpsed a few days ago!
The two of them looked at each other and saw unconcealable surprise and confusion in each other's eyes, but they did not dare to hesitate at all and hurried forward.
At this moment, an unexpected scene happened.
The man in black robe suddenly raised his right hand, and a dazzling light suddenly began to flash in the palm of his hand, and quickly condensed into a blue sphere rotating at high speed.
The sphere is surrounded by wisps of electric current, making a crackling sound, as if it contains endless energy.
The next moment, the man in black robe waved his hand, and the Rasengan, shining like lightning, flew straight towards the boulder like an arrow from a string!
Only a loud "boom" was heard, which was so deafening that the whole valley seemed to tremble.
The Rasengan hit the boulder with an overwhelming force.
Then there was another "boom", and the boulder was instantly blown to pieces under the impact of this powerful force, and countless rubbles were shot out in all directions.
As the boulders smashed into pieces, the originally blocked river suddenly surged down like a wild horse that had broken free of its restraints, instantly regaining its former smoothness and vitality.
"You..."
Looking at the scene in front of them, the two of them couldn't help but stand stunned.
They did not expect that this mysterious man in black robes, who had always seemed unfathomable and full of danger, would actually help mankind at this moment.
"What a powerful force!"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked at Rasengan in the hands of the man in black robe in surprise.
Gamamaru, who was in the dark, looked at this scene in shock.
It stared closely at the man in black robes in front of it.
Why did the spell performed by the man in black robe just now smell like snake?
