At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the sky is always full of brilliant premonitions, and the hot and sticky wind in the past has become dry and clear.
The summer insects no longer sing softly.
The annoying cicada disappeared.
Uchiha Mitsuki transformed into a crow and followed the crows, flying towards the south.
As the Lord of the Crows, this was his first visit to his territory.
From the barren and desolate rock walls, to the beautiful plains, to the endless sea, Uchiha Mitsuki enjoys a full view of the great rivers and mountains in the world.
"Snowy mountains, barren walls, deserts, plains, oceans, is this my territory? I love it."
Surrounded by a crowd of crows, Uchiha Miyuki smiled happily, and his pair of glowing black wings flapped faster.
Seeing that the crows were not stopping, Uchiha Mizuki was quite curious, and asked with his spiritual thoughts: "Where are you taking me?"
"YuYa!YuYa!"
Several crows leading the way emitted several loud calls.
"Almost there...? Okay, okay, got it..."
While Uchiha Mitsuki shook his head and smiled, the largest crow in the front row suddenly turned around and carried Uchiha Mitsuki on his back.
"Hey, wait and put me down!"
"Yuya...!"
Ignoring Uchiha Mitsuki's protests, the head crow shouted happily and rushed him into the distance.
The cool wind slapped on the face, which was particularly comfortable... The crow insisted on this, and Uchiha saw the moon without any entanglement. He simply transformed into a human form, made a big character, and lay comfortably in the soft feathers of the crow.
The head crow was faster and stirred up a very strong air current, but the sky was originally Uchiha Mizue, so he lay peacefully on the head crow's back, motionless.
In an instant, the crows behind were thrown far away by the head crow. They chased after him while shouting hoarsely and flapping their wings.
On the ground, the farmer who was plowing was annoyed by the crows. He raised his head and was about to complain about something, but he didn't dare to say anything.
It was as if a terrifying will was watching him.
The farmer shuddered and continued working.
…
Myoki Mountain.
Fukasaku and Shima stood quietly in the temple, serving the Great Toad Sage.
After a while, the Great Toad Immortal woke up from his sleep and slowly opened his eyes.
Different from the past, this time the eyes of the Great Toad Immortal were exceptionally bright and no longer cloudy.
"Old man, you finally woke up."
Fukasaku next to him said slightly excited.
The Great Toad Immortal was in a good mood and hummed softly.
"Old man, look at Mr. Mitsuki next to you, is he okay?" Shima is impatient. He looked at the stone statue on the right and asked in a sharp voice.
In the past five years, the stone statue placed next to the Great Toad Immortal has undergone tremendous changes.
From the gray clay figures of the past to the gleaming statues of gods now, there has been a huge change.
Shima was quite worried about this, and sometimes wanted to wake up the sleeping Toad Sage and ask him why, but he had no choice but to give up because of Fukasaku's obstruction.
The Great Toad Immortal remained unmoved and calmly stared ahead, as if he already knew the changes in the stone statue.
"It's a good thing...don't worry..."
"Really?"
Shima breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"You're so old and still being shocked..." Fukasaku shook his head, "It's really unbearable."
"What? Are you sick?" Shima squinted his eyes and looked at Fukasaku, "You can't bear it, right? Then don't bear it at night anymore!"
Why should I mess with a menopausal woman... Fukasaku pursed his lips angrily, preparing to apologize.
"Ahem...!"
I shouldn't have chosen a couple to accompany me in the first place... The Great Toad Sage coughed and interrupted Fukasaku: "Please inform me that Lord Mitsuki will be visiting Mt. Myouki in the near future. Please be prepared to receive him with the highest standards."
"The highest standard?" Shima's eyes widened.
Fukasaku was also stunned for a moment. This was the first time he heard the old man address Uchiha Mitsuki as Mitsuki-sama.
"As of now...I won't hide anything from you anymore." The Great Toad Immortal swept Fukasaku and Shima's clear eyes, "The ultimate goal of the three holy places is to cultivate Lord Mitsuki into the mother star consciousness."
"What!"
Fukasaku and Shima exclaimed in unison.
It's been a long time since I've seen them... It must have been hundreds of years since they became immortals. This is the first time I've heard of this.
"Isn't Mizuki-sama's arrival an accident?" Fukasaku had heard the Great Toad Sage say this before, so he was very surprised at this moment.
"It was an accident, yes..." The Great Toad Immortal nodded, with a tone that was partly sad and partly thankful, "But when the one in charge of reincarnation chose him, everything was doomed.
"
"...Just like thousands of years ago, we chose to retain our bodies, integrate into the ninja system, and find a new possibility for our home planet, this time is also an attempt."
Fukasaku was shocked. After being silent for a while, it questioned the big toad sage's decision for the first time, "Isn't it too risky...Old man...even if you can see the future, but...what if you fail..."
"Yes...Old man!"
Shima on the side looked at the Great Toad Sage worriedly. He understood what his wife meant. The Sage of Six Paths is an alien and is not trustworthy. But is Uchiha Mitsuki, a visitor from another world, worthy of our trust?
It's a bit sloppy...
What if we make the same mistakes as the Sage of Six Paths did?
In just a short moment, Shima drew several question marks in his mind.
The Great Toad Immortal is huge, sitting on a stone seat, like a hill, deep and heavy.
Therefore, there are many things that it is not convenient for the Great Toad Immortal to tell others.
But its meaning is already very clear——
The three holy places have very powerful backup forces!
Fukasaku and Shima heard the implication of the words of the Great Toad Sage, and after a while of silence, they bowed and left.
Since the old man has made arrangements, there is no need for them to worry about it. Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up, so even if they want to, they can't do anything.
…
A few days later.
Shisui carried his parents on his back and sneaked into the Forest of Death.
"It's so annoying, time passes so slowly... After staying up for so long, I'm still six years old..."
Shisui complained as he crossed the thorny bushes with his short legs and walked deeper.
As he went deeper, the surrounding trees became taller and denser.
The strange shadows on the soles of the feet, combined with the roars of beasts coming from all directions from time to time, give people an eerie feeling.
However, this is nothing to the reborn Shisui.
In his previous life, as a frequent visitor here, he had never seen any beasts, mosquitoes or plants. He dared to jump out and killed and ate them directly.
After walking for another ten minutes, Shisui finally stopped in front of a dense forest.
"If I remember correctly, the front is the territory of the crows."
