Naruto I'm The First Hokage

Chapter 72

“The ninja below is the one you were commissioned by the daimyo to escort the treasure.”

The old man looked at Douren below and whispered. The old man’s appearance was extremely old, but his voice was unusually clear, as if he had placed the voice of a person in his 20s or 30s on an 80 or 90 year old person. Weird.

“Yes, I am.”

Although Douren was surprised, he didn’t say much. He untied the package behind his back, took out a box, and handed it to the guard on the side. When the guard saw it, he took the box and presented it to the witch in front of him.

The witch saw this treasure after opening the box, and the witch sighed when she saw it.

“Sure enough, it was a fragment of the Guardian Monument, and I didn’t expect it to fall into the country of fire.”

“Shards of the Guardian Monument?”

Douren heard the old man’s words this time and wanted to ask what the Guardian Monument was, but he couldn’t say how to speak. The witch above waved her hand after getting the treasure.

“Your Excellency has done a great job in the country of ghosts, now let’s take a rest and rest.”

After hearing this, Douren finally did not speak out the question, and followed the guard to the arranged residence.

Douren, who came to the residence, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked outside after a short rest.

It was already late at the moment, the bright red sun hung above the mountainside, and the last afterglow of the setting sun draped over the ground like a thin veil, looking like a dream.

“Squeak, squeak!”

Just as Douren was intoxicated by the beauty of the sunset, a slight friction sound rang in Douren’s ears.

Hearing this voice, Douren looked forward and saw that there was a swing in a clearing not far away, and a little girl with beige hair was sitting on the swing and swaying constantly.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The brilliance of the setting sun fell on her, making her look extremely lonely.

Douren hesitated when she saw this, and finally came to the swing. The little girl was surprised when she heard the movement and turned her head to see Douren, but immediately calmed down.

“Who are you? How come you are here!”

“Uh.”

Douren was stunned when he heard what the little girl said. The little girl was only about five years old, but her calmness was a little scary, and her words were unusually organized.

“I am a ninja from the land of fire, and I am entrusted by the daimyo to escort the treasures of the land of ghosts!”

Although Douren was taken aback, he immediately regained consciousness and replied.

“Are you the one who escorted the treasure?”

The little girl was silent for a while when she heard Douren’s words, and then a trace of anger flashed in her eyes and shouted at Douren.

“Why do you want to come to us, why do you want to send something like that? If you didn’t send it, then mother she would definitely not…”

The little girl stopped talking when she said this, and the anger in her eyes disappeared. There was only a moment of loneliness, and finally she kept shaking the swing.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t yell at you like this. These things were originally a curse of fate. Even if you didn’t come, there must be other people coming. After all, fate can’t resist!”

Douren didn’t answer after listening to the little girl, but fell into thinking.

The mother and the little girl in the mouth were alone in the place where the witch lived, so the only explanation is that the little girl is the daughter of the current witch, Yu Ge, that is, the next witch.

“Are you Yu Ge?”

Douren looked at this little girl who was only five years old but looked very lonely and lonely, and couldn’t help but asked curiously.

“Yes, I am Yu Ge.”

After hearing this, the little girl did not ask Douren why she knew her name, but buried her head deeply on her chest.

What is it that makes this little girl like this? Douren saw a glimmer of doubt in his eyes.

The country of ghosts is really foggy now. The witch, who is the mother of a little girl, is a gray-haired old man. She escorted treasures to help the country of ghosts but was scolded by Yu Ge. Douren was puzzled.

“Master Yu Ge, it’s getting late, let’s go back.”

Just as Douren was thinking, a maid came over, bowed slightly to Douren and Yu Ge, and then took Yu Ge’s hand and walked towards the other side of the residence.

Before Yu Ge left, he turned his head and glanced at Douren, there seemed to be a hint of purple light in his purple eyes.

Watching Yu Ge left Douren and returned to his place of residence, when night fell, the whole village of Miko was dark, and there was a low roar from an altar behind the village of Miko, and the four dark shadows also came from the village of Miko. The village rushed in the direction of the altar.
