Chapter 210 The Young Master is Missing?
In the early morning, the sky over Konoha Village was not yet fully bright. A deep blue dawn filter illuminated the entire village, and the clouds on the horizon looked hazy, suggesting it wasn't a good day.
He's already made a lot of arrangements, so it shouldn't matter if he's gone for a few months or even a year...
"I just hope... everything goes well."
The boy gripped the sword in his hand, standing at the gate of Konoha Village, concealing all his presence.
He needs to gain power so that he can prevent future troubles and protect his family, himself, and those he cares about in the face of any unforeseen events...
After straightening his collar, the boy vanished like a ghost, disappearing through the village gate in an instant without leaving a trace.
His destination was only one place: Ryūchi Cave, one of the three legendary holy sites.
Relying solely on the legacy and ancient texts left behind by the Feathered Robe Clan, the young man embarked on an unknown, yet extremely dangerous, path.
His short, bluish-gray hair shimmered warmly in the morning sun as Takita carefully surveyed the terrain, silently reciting...
He was prepared that no matter what happened, he would never fall here.
Even sacred sites that exist only in legends...
Takita is very smart; he can analyze a lot of things simply by looking at ancient books and historical records.
The Feathered Robe Clan is not an obscure little family; on the contrary, they were an extremely powerful family during the period of the ancient Ninja Clan's split.
That's right, they are also related to the Sage of Six Paths, but compared to the Uchiha and Senju clans, their connection is less obvious...
After all, even if no one knows what happened to Ashura and Indra afterward, the fact is that the Sage of Six Paths only had two sons, so the exact form in which their Hagoromo clan passed on their lineage is impossible to ascertain.
In short, they do indeed possess this power, and it is by no means weak; otherwise, it would not have been able to be passed down from the Ninja Sect era to the present day.
Perhaps something happened along the way that caused the inheritance to be lost, or perhaps it was for some unknown reason that the physique became increasingly difficult to awaken, to the point that people even thought that their family had no bloodline limit.
Unlike the Senju clan, they don't possess strong physiques, powerful chakra, or remarkable regenerative abilities, nor do they have the Uchiha clan's unpredictable Sharingan that allows them to see through everything.
The Hagoromo clan... possesses an invisible and intangible chakra characteristic, which is closer to the power of nature. In layman's terms, they are... naturally more suited to learning Sage Mode.
It could even be said that they should have inherited the Sage of Six Paths' Sage Mode chakra, but due to various reasons, this inheritance was disrupted...
However, Takita had not considered any of this. He only knew that the Hagoromo clan was not ordinary and that their development direction was inevitably towards immortal arts.
Once the goal is clear and the direction is right, nothing else matters. At least, he himself believed that the goal was correct.
The sky was overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain again. Takita looked up at the sky, picked up his pace, and ran even faster. He needed to reach the first hidden clue location before dark.
That's right, Ryuchi Cave isn't a specific location. Takita doesn't know how to describe it. It's like a small world enclosed by a barrier. If you just search for it, you probably wouldn't find it even if you spent your whole life looking for it.
However, he has family records and traditions. Although he doesn't know if the method is still applicable after so many years, he can only try it for now. It's much better than searching aimlessly like a headless fly.
......
At nine o'clock in the morning, it started to rain. Madara and Hashirama noticed that Takita's familiar figure was still not at his desk in the office. They assumed that he was not coming today and did not think much of it.
His desk was always very tidy. Compared to Madara, whose desk was always empty and used as a chair, and Hashirama, whose desk was piled with a bunch of documents, Takita's desk was always neatly organized and looked very comfortable.
The two chatted idly, gazing at the raindrops outside the window. Madara spotted someone who appeared to be from the Hagoromo clan, running towards the Hokage Building in the rain.
"Hmm? That's..."
Madara frowned. He recognized the person; he looked familiar. After a moment's thought, he remembered—it was Takita's attendant and assistant, his name was... Hiroshi.
"What's wrong, Ban? Is someone here?"
Hashirama heard Madara's soft hum, raised his head, and asked with a puzzled look.
However, before Ban could explain, they heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairs outside the door, which quickly stopped at the door of the two's office.
dong dong——
"Please come in..."
Hashirama looked towards the gate, where A-Kuan stood, soaking wet, seemingly holding something in his arms, looking utterly dejected.
"What's wrong with you?"
Upon hearing Hashirama's question, A-Kuan seemed to break down emotionally. He ran to Hashirama and placed the things he was carrying on the table.
"Young Master...Young Master Takita has disappeared!"
"what?"
Ban also walked over, picked up the letter-like thing on the table, and began to examine it carefully.
But the more he looked, the worse his expression became...
"He left you this letter, and then he disappeared this morning?"
"Yes! Young Master... he really is going to find the Holy Land... But! But Young Master can't possibly not know how dangerous those Holy Lands are! Clan Chief Madara, Clan Chief Hashirama, we beg you, please help us and bring Young Master back!"
A-Kuan's face was deathly pale, and he was even trembling as he spoke. He couldn't imagine what the Hagoromo clan would do if they lost Takita.
He watched Takita grow up from a young age, and saw how Takita transformed himself step by step from a carefree spoiled young master to where he is today.
More than a sense of responsibility to his family, he felt a deep affection, even a sense of caring for his younger brother as he grew up.
"Calm down first. This matter is indeed of great importance. Although I don't know what this so-called holy land is, you are right, we need to find it."
Hashirama stood up to comfort him, his expression becoming serious.
He understood Takita; although he was still young, even a bit too young, he was definitely not someone who liked to act recklessly. At least, over the years, he had changed a great deal.
Madara sighed, unsure of what to say, muttering that these kids liked to disappear without a word, which was really worrying. But he acted quickly, jumping out of the window and heading towards the Uchiha clan's territory.
When it comes to action, the faster the better. Ah Kuan was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then kept thanking Ban's departing figure.
"You should also go back and prepare some capable people. Ban will help you coordinate a few people, and I will also try to contact the Aburame clan and find excellent ninjas from the Inuzuka clan for you."
After finishing speaking, Hashirama also turned and left the office.
He wasn't quite sure how dangerous this was, but the idea of a holy site didn't sound like a place humans could easily reach.
