When Madara and Tobirama had a fierce fight over a shuriken that was given as a prize, Mito and Hashirama went to the shrine's ancestral hall.

Outsiders were not allowed to enter here originally. By the time Mito reacted, the two people were already standing in the center of the ancestral hall.

The family crest of the Uzumaki clan was painted on the ground, and the bright candlelight illuminated the place very brightly.

Mito was slightly annoyed that he was distracted and brought people in. Hashirama looked around the inside of the ancestral hall, which was not much different from the Senju family's ancestral hall.

However, this ancestral hall is extremely high, and you can see the steps winding up along the wall.

Zhu Jian raised his head and looked up. There were also candles burning above, but there were far fewer candles than the one below. This made it impossible for him to see the scene above clearly.

Mito followed Hashirama's gaze and said softly: "It's an ancestral hall and a high tower. Along the way up, there are windows on the walls. When I was locked up in the ancestral hall to learn sealing techniques, I couldn't go out even if I was bored. We can only go up through the steps, look at the sky and the scenery on the top of the building, and feel the sunshine and the wind."

Hashirama listened quietly, and in his mind could imagine the scene of the girl Mito walking up alone when she was lonely and bored.

"Is this the tallest building on the entire island?" Although it was a question, it was filled with certainty.

Mito nodded and said: "Our clan attaches great importance to the ancestral hall, and no building should exceed the height of the ancestral hall."

"Then..." Hashirama smiled gently, "Can I also go up to the rooftop to have a look?"

"Eh?" Mito was startled, and then she felt a little embarrassed, "Well... Shigure is not here, why not let Shigure take you up during the day tomorrow."

A lonely man and a widowed woman, with a special status, everyone else ran away, leaving only the two of them. Since they were the hosts, Mito could not leave Hashirama behind like the others.

It is already disrespectful to enter the ancestral hall. What if we take Hashirama to the dark rooftop again?

She began to blame Shigure in her heart, but...

Hashirama has been thinking about a lot of things these past few days. He has always been a person who always sticks to his word. He always remembered the words he promised his younger brother to do things in a measured way.

However, in the past few days in the Country of Whirlpool, the more he got along with Mito, the more he became trapped in the mud.

He doesn't see the childlike Shigure in his eyes, he likes the steady, mature and gentle Mito.

Or maybe it was because he met Mito first, and Mito broke into his heart. His heart was filled up, and he couldn't invite people out and put in a new person.

He was thinking, obviously there was no relationship between us at the beginning, and it was obviously just a simple marriage, why did the person he wanted to marry have to be Shigure?

Why can't he take Mito, whom he loves, to Senju?

He wanted to find someone to ask this question. It was impossible for his younger brother to analyze and answer calmly. What about Madara?

He wanted to ask Madara more than once, but in the end he gave up the idea.

After suppressing his emotions for several days, Hashirama once again reached the peak of his expression when he saw that Mito was obviously troubled but still wanted to avoid suspicion.

Does she feel the same way as me?

Thinking of this possibility, Hashirama felt his blood boiling all over.

He wanted to say something to Mito, so when he opened his mouth, he heard Mito say.

"Although you have been here for several days, I have never properly said thank you to you."

The words that came to his mouth were stuck because of Mito's sudden thanks. Hashirama was stunned for a moment before hearing Mito continue: "Before I lost consciousness, I saw your face. At that time, I felt that I was dead. , you saved me."

Hashirama lowered his head. He did not feel happy because of Mito's thanks. Mito's life was hanging by a thread at that time. He still felt scared when he thought about it. This was something he had not experienced for a long time after his father's death. lost.

It was just a matter of seconds before Mito disappeared from this world.

I still feel scared when I think about it now.

"I didn't think much of it at the time, and I didn't know you were the injured person at first. If I could, I would help anyone who got hurt."

Mito thought about Hashirama's words for a while and nodded slowly.

Hashirama pursed his lips, always feeling that if he didn't fight for himself now, he would really have no chance in the future.

"Mito."

"Eh?" Mito raised his eyes to look at him.

It was rare for Hashirama to show such a serious expression. It was different from him holding his head and regretting outside Yifou, and it was also different from when he was playing with his best friend Uchiha Madara and was not doing well.

He showed such an expression that inexplicably made people feel reliable and gave him a sense of security.

"There's something I want to confirm with you."

Mito felt uncomfortable being stared at by him like this. This feeling was neither annoying nor offensive. He just felt that his face was getting hotter and hotter.

She was at a loss to avoid Zhu Jian's gaze, looked at the walls, and looked at the people walking by from time to time outside the door of the ancestral hall, but she did not dare to look at Zhu Jian again.

In the candlelight, Mito's fair face was stained with rose pink.

Hashirama didn't care if she was looking at him or avoiding her. If he didn't ask these questions, he felt that he would live with regrets for the rest of his life.

The streets were bustling with people, and inside the ancestral hall, separated only by a wall, it was so quiet that you could hear your heartbeat.

With her heart beating like a drum, Mito heard Hashirama ask her, "Do you like Kamui?"

The lowered eyes suddenly widened, and Mito looked at Hashirama in shock, unable to speak for a long time.

Hashirama then asked, "Do you want to go to Uchiha?"

Mito knows the answers to these two questions but cannot answer them. With their current status, what should she say appropriately?

At the beginning, grandpa wanted her to go to the Senju. They had a natural affection for the Senju. As the granddaughter that grandpa valued most, she naturally wanted to send her to the ninja clan that they valued.

It was her own worry that her innocent and innocent sister would be bullied in Uchiha that changed the destination and destiny of the two sisters.

Now, the man whom he gave up first asked himself, what should Mito say?

The answer is very easy. You just need to tell the truth. The answer is very easy. Even if you lie, you can tell it calmly. You just need to hide your true feelings.

However, Mito looked at the sincere eyes of the person in front of her, but she couldn't say anything.

Her position prevented her from saying that she didn't like and didn't want to go, and her self-consciousness prevented her from telling completely different lies.

She looked at Hashirama, not even noticing that her eyes changed from surprise to sadness.

Through those autumn-like eyes, Hashirama seemed to see the bottom of Mito's heart.

There was no Uchiha or Kamui in his heart, and a vague shadow was facing away from him. Although he had never seen this shadow with his own eyes in the past, he just felt familiar.

"It's just a simple marriage without feelings for each other, Mito," Hashirama swallowed dryly, "Mito, do you want..."

"The scenery up there is beautiful," Mito suddenly interrupted him with an urgent voice. There was a panicked smile on her face, and she was no longer as calm and calm as before.

She said: "The scenery at night is also very beautiful. I will take you up to see it."

Hashirama knew that she was evading and wanted to use distraction to change the subject, but he could not refuse Mito's invitation.

After a moment of silence, Hashirama frowned and said a good word.
