Four days later, the boat bypassed the reef near Land-of-Whirlpools and finally came to the coast.

Old Kiko not at all went ashore with Tatsumi and Kushina, but chose to stay in the boat.

For people like him, continuous and uninterrupted sailing is already very exhausting.

Even more how, his duty is only to bring Tatsumi and them to Land-of-Whirlpools that's all.

"Don't worry about me." Old Kiko waved to Tatsumi and the others, "Lord-Ninja is going to do my own mission. I'll just wait here."

Since people Having said that, Tatsumi also gave up the idea of ​​letting him disembark and left the boat with Kushina.

For people who don't take the boat very often, seasickness is very common.

Especially this kind of small boat is very easy to wave along the waves, and it will feel sick after a long time.

Tatsumi is like this, not to mention Kushina.

"Would you like to take a break?" Looking at Kushina's pale face, Tatsumi slowed down.

"No need." Kushina took a breath, "I have a few places I want to go, can you accompany me to see it?"

"Of course no problem."

This mission is to take away the vortex legacy, but the most important purpose is to give Kushina, who became Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the opportunity to return to his hometown.

Although I have been away for ten years, it is my hometown after all. Kushina still remembers many things.

About twenty minutes after walking through a ruin, Small Fox, who had recovered, stopped.

"What's wrong?" Tatsumi asked.

He looked around and found that besides the denser vegetation and weeds on the beach side, he found nothing at all.

But Small Fox let go of Tatsumi's hand and walked over in one direction until he stopped under a big tree.

"I remember this used to be my backyard. If there were no civil strife, I should still live here."

Kushina touched the tree for a few moments The marks are sighed, these are left by the father who helped her measure her height.

The youngster standing behind can't see Small Fox's eyes, but it should be that calm and sad.

People will show this look only when they remember things that have been lost forever.

Tatsumi not at all talking, you can't talk at this time.

After a while, Kushina took out a kunai, squatted on the ground and dug.

Tatsumi also quickly took out kunai and stepped forward to help.

A few minutes later, the two dug out a tattered box.

"Time capsule, want to see it?"

"Okay." Youngster nodded.

The small box is not big, and it can only be forcibly destroyed if the key has been lost.

Easily opened the rusty iron lock, and the youngster also saw the whole picture inside.

A photo that has become grayish yellow and worn out due to long-term exposure to the moisture in the soil, but it can be vaguely seen that it is a group photo of a family of three.

On two pieces of the same gray and yellow paper, there are still extremely naive, but there are cute crayon drawings that are unique to little girl.

For large items, there are only a few, in addition to two headbands, a few bamboo sticks and a few colorful glass balls.

——and a very tightly sealed letter.

Through the sealed bag, you can still see the cover of the envelope with a few big characters written in crooked notes

——for my 15-year-old self.

"I thought there was no chance to see it again."

Kushina was a little lonely laughed, and then first reached out and picked up the only three glass balls inside, and put one of them Handed it to Tatsumi.

Although "..." does not know what it means, it is the most correct choice to take over at this time.

Tatsumi took the glass ball handed to him by Small Fox, and did not start to talk because Kushina had already picked up the well-preserved letter.

"Want to hear?"

Kushina opened the envelope, then took out the letter with the child's pink aura inside, and moved towards Tatsumi shook.

"...If you don't mind."

"hehe~" Seeing his serious expression, Kushina laughed and then shake one's head.

"It's okay, it's been many years."

Slightly eased the slightly silent atmosphere, Kushina looked at the letter in her hand, the handwriting on it was crooked, speaking of which of her own The handwriting has not changed much until now.

She started to talk and read:

"15 years old Kushina,

How are you?

I am 5 years Old Kushina.

At this time, it was quiet outside. Father and mother should have been asleep, and I was lying on the bed, secretly writing to you by the moonlight.

Quak, what should I write.

Well, yes, first of all I have to thank you. 15 years old, I must have become a great hero, so I have to take the time to read this letter. Letter."

"...failed." After reading this, Small Fox shaking one's head, said in an apologetic tone.

She continued to read:

"I heard father say that we are leaving this home because the situation is unstable and it is not safe here, especially everyday all have explosions. Sound.

Actually, I really don't want to leave at all. I hate unfamiliar places. Now I finally get used to it, but I'm leaving again. "It would be nice if I could settle down." , I've always been in my mind lately.

I must cheer myself up from now on. Although I'm not confident that I can really do it. However, I must be like this Do.

...

...

"15 years old, have I found a boy whom I like; have I learned to swim well? ; Mother's legs are not very good, do you take good care of her; Father likes to smoke, do you often wipe his ashtray? "

As I read, Kushina's tears flowed out uncontrollably, like a huge ice cube hidden inside-the-body melted, she kept crying, kept crying Read it.

"I hope that Kushina, 15 years old, can be a strong and beautiful girl, and engage in the work she loves, and work hard to realize her dream.

In any case, please have a good time.

So... Finally, I can ask Kushina, who is 15 years old, for one thing? "

"Write another letter to Kushina, who is two 10 years old, telling her what dreams she has for 15 years old. "

"...Sigh. "Tatsumi sighed, and handed over a signature pen that happened to come from the Land of Fire port area.

"Are you asking for paper, I mean the kind of nose wiper." "

Small Fox, who burst into tears and laughed for a while, gave Tatsumi a white look. After receiving the pen, he took out the long-prepared letter paper from the Ninja Tool Pouch.

This time, she not at all read it out, but after silently writing, she folded the letter and put it back in the sealed bag together with the original one.

Finally Put it back into the iron box of the time capsule.

"Tatsumi..."

"En?"

After a moment of silence, Kushina started to talk softly. :

"After four years, can you come with me again? "
