Chapter 88 Uzumaki Mito Wants to See Qingshui, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Is Ready to Be Replaced!
One month later.
Senju's ancestral home.
This spacious house was once inhabited by only one woman.
But today, Konoha's high-ranking officials gathered here, as well as those ninjas who were considered to be members of the Hokage family.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat upright on a not-so-wide futon, but his posture was very upright.
Beside him was Shimura Danzo, the Hokage assistant who had just been released from house arrest and restored to his original position, as well as Konoha's advisors Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu.
In the back row of Konoha's high-ranking officials were Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, the three disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Until the last row, there was Jiraiya's disciple Namikaze Minato.
In this room, whether it was Konoha's Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen or Shimura Danzo, who was suppressing his anger, they all put away their usual habits as superiors, like students waiting for instructions.
They had been waiting for a while, but no one dared to say anything, and they were still very well-behaved.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes slowly scanned the room. When he was a child, he was brought here by Senju Tobirama to learn the sealing technique.
On the wall, there are various photos of Senju Hashirama, including the majestic Hokage in formal attire, funny life photos, and warm group photos.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed lightly. Another pillar of Konoha is about to fall...
A moment later.
The door of the inner room slowly opened, and everyone's expressions were shocked!
The old Uzumaki Mito took Uzumaki Kushina's hand, slowly walked in front of everyone, and sat down: "This child is ready to take on the responsibility of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Monkey, you can prepare the layout ceremony, while I can still control the Nine-Tails for the last time, smoothly hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly lowered his head, like an Anbu reporting to the Hokage: "I understand, Mito-sama!"
This woman, he must treat it this way.
She is the wife of the first Hokage, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the strongest seal ninja in the current ninja world, and the pillar of Konoha.
Although Uzumaki Mito has never taken action, her existence means too much...
In the first Ninja World War, Konoha faced the joint attack of the four hidden villages in the early stage, but under such a rare gap in military strength, the four hidden villages did not dare to attack Konoha directly, but only consumed Konoha's manpower on the battlefield.
Even after the death of Senju Tobirama, Konoha fell into a period of obvious weakness, and no one dared to provoke it again.
The reason for this is Uzumaki Mito.
Although other villages also have tailed beasts...
But if this woman is pushed to a corner, without protecting Konoha and seeking a way to die together, even if she cannot control the power of the Nine-Tails, as long as it is released destructively, no one in the other four hidden villages can bear this loss.
This deterrent power even radiated during the Second Ninja World War.
When the poor Sand Village and the Salamander Hanzo who wanted to become the sixth "Kage" were fighting Konoha, they were in a close battle.
The other three hidden villages still maintained a wait-and-see attitude, and only dared to do some sneaky tricks to get the advantage, and did not dare to openly start a war.
They all knew that although Uzumaki Mito was old, he was not necessarily unable to fight.
So, even if other hidden villages had long coveted Konoha's resources, they would not miss these few years...
Only the two barefoot people, Yuyin and Sand Village, knew that they were not worthy of Uzumaki Mito to use the power of the Nine-Tails, but were particularly presumptuous.
"Kushina, her chakra level is enough to bear the seal of the Nine-Tails, and I will also leave her a corresponding seal formation to help her adapt to the life of a Jinchūriki..."
Uzumaki Mito coughed lightly, and his eyes swept across the photos on the wall with nostalgia, and looked at the younger generations present.
At this moment, everyone, including Shimura Danzo, looked at Uzumaki Mito with respect.
Uzumaki Mito's life is far from over.
As a genius seal ninja who invented the Yin seal, it is very easy for her to extend her life.
But in order to hand over the Nine-Tails in the best condition, Uzumaki Mito chose to end her life in advance.
With Uzumaki Mito's identity and status, no one can force her to do this. Everything is voluntary...
"Tsunade, come and sit down. I want to see you."
Tsunade quickly got up and sat next to Uzumaki Mito, holding her grandmother's hand: "Grandmother..."
Uzumaki Mito looked at Tsunade with a smile, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Uzumaki Mito knew what state Tsunade was in before. She was drunk and dreaming, and her soul was absent-minded, which made her, an old lady, very worried, but she could not help her.
As a Jinchūriki, Uzumaki Mito understood a truth: the damage to the soul is much more difficult to heal than the physical damage.
But at this moment, Tsunade in front of her was emitting vitality from the inside out, and the light reappeared in her eyes, which was very beautiful.
"Tsunayo, have you figured it out? You are worthy of being your grandfather's granddaughter..." Uzumaki Mito said happily.
Tsunade's affairs are one of the few things that she is worried about.
Tsunade smiled, raised a thumb, and said playfully: "Your blood is also supporting me... Compared to the gambling grandfather, I am more like you who are strong!"
Uzumaki Mito smiled, but found something unusual and looked at Tsunade's chest.
There, the necklace that Tsunade always wore on her body disappeared.
Tsunade smiled, noticed Uzumaki Mito's gaze, and said softly: "I gave it to my disciple, Uchiha Aomizu of the Uchiha clan, who is a very good boy."
Hearing this, Shimura Danzo's breathing became heavier!
During the days when he was strictly confined, Sarutobi Hiruzen made special arrangements to approve the establishment of Tsunade's class. He, the former Hokage assistant, even got the news after a long time.
That was the ninja he had chosen, and the best helper for Shimura Danzo to ascend to the top of the Hokage position!
How could Tsunade, a mere Tsunade, use a blade of Uchiha Aomizu's level?
What a waste of talent!
But Shimura Danzo seemed to have forgotten one thing: Uzumaki Mito in front of him had the ability to sense the good and evil in people's hearts, and could even perceive people's emotions...
So, Uzumaki Mito glanced at Shimura Danzo and said, "Danzo, if you have something to say, just say it."
Shimura Danzo was startled, and quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Sorry, Mito-sama, I was thinking about the Root's recent deployment of the enemy, and I was a little excited..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen raised the corner of his mouth and patted Shimura Danzo on the shoulder: "Danzo, you've worked so hard just after your comeback. It's really hard for you."
Shimura Danzo wanted to be angry but didn't dare to get angry. He didn't believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't guess why he was angry!
It was because of Qingshui that he, the assistant Hokage, was locked up at home like a prisoner for three months and lost all his power...
"Qingshui, Uchiha Qingshui."
Uzumaki Mito looked at Tsunade gently and said slowly: "It's a nice name, and she's a child of the Uchiha clan..."
The Nine-Tails in Uzumaki Mito's body was like a stress response when he heard the three words Uchiha. He struggled restlessly and roared:
"The Uzumaki clan, the Uchiha clan, and the Senju clan, all the ninjas of these three clans should die, die!"
"How ridiculous? The necklace of Senju Hashirama was given to the Uchiha kid by you, the unlucky granddaughter!"
The Nine-Tails was tied up tightly with chains, but his mouth was not blocked Stop, madly cursing:
"Uzumaki Mito, you keep saying that you are my obstacle, and you said that you want me to communicate with your mind instead of sealing my vision, but you still tied me up, and now you want to send me around like an object!"
"I am the Nine-Tails, a natural disaster! Your retribution for treating me like this has come. A Uchiha kid has bewitched the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama. I have seen the day when the Uchiha clan will counterattack the Senju in Konoha!"
"You can feel it too, right? Your granddaughter named Tsunade, the warmth in her heart when she mentioned that Uchiha, hahahaha!"
Even though the Nine-Tails had raised his voice to the maximum, Uzumaki Mito's expression did not change.
But in her heart, she began to think.
As Tsunade's grandmother, Uzumaki Mito knew that Tsunade had given Hashirama Senju's necklace to two people, one was Kato Dan, who had a good impression of each other at the time, and the other was his younger brother Nawaki...
So, why is Qingshui, a child of the Uchiha clan, so important to Tsunade?
Did she regard him as a younger brother?
What is the situation...
Uzumaki Mito sighed softly and looked at Kushina on the side, a little worried.
The ability of the Nine-Tails to bewitch people can be seen.
Even if she has been the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki for so many years, she will still be shaken.
But there is no way. The Uchiha clan and the Senju have never had a harmonious situation since ancient times. Even the pair of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara spent much more time fighting than in peace...
Tsunade's behavior of giving the necklace to Qingshui made it difficult for Uzumaki Mito not to think too much.
The Uchiha clan is not all reckless, there are also some who can deceive people, such as the former Uchiha Izuna...
If the disguise is very good, it is not impossible to invade when Tsunade's mind is cracked.
"Xiao Tsunade, since he is your apprentice, he should come to today's meeting. I also want to meet this child..."
Uzumaki Mito smiled: "Go, Xiao Tsunade, bring him to see me."
Tsunade nodded blankly.
Why do you want to meet Qingshui all of a sudden?
But Tsunade didn't think too much, turned around and walked towards the Uchiha clan.
Tsunade will do whatever Uzumaki Mito asks.
And when Uzumaki Mito said this, the atmosphere on the scene became subtle and tense.
No one would think that Uzumaki Mito would suddenly want to meet a junior like Qingshui during the ceremony of the Nine-Tails handing over the Jinchuriki, and there must be a purpose.
Old men like Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En, and Utatane Koharu all knew that Uzumaki Mito had the ability to sense the good and evil in the deepest part of a person's heart...
They guessed it instantly - he was trying to find out about Uchiha Aomizu!
Shimura Danzo raised his lips, and was extremely excited: "As expected of Lord Mito, he is so alert just by hearing the name of an Uchiha!"
"I saw that the brat was wrong a long time ago, only the group of idiots around Hiruzen could not see it, whether it was Tsunade or his stupid son, they were all fooled by the brat, and only I was sober!"
Shimura Danzo's thoughts continued to diverge.
"As long as there is something wrong with that brat, even if it is the emotion caused by nervousness, I can use it as material to attack Hiruzen and Uchiha in the future, hehehehe..."
Shimura Danzo didn't believe it. Even he would be nervous in this environment.
Qingshui, a mere Uchiha brat, could remain calm when he met these top figures of Konoha and the legendary Uzumaki Mito?
He didn't believe it!
As long as there is any mistake in Qingshui, after Uzumaki Mito dies, this will be the moral high ground in the hands of Shimura Danzo!
Sarutobi Hiruzen is not good at judging people, Tsunade is not good at using people...
Shimura Danzo has already started to think of words.
Then, he can propose to hand over Uchiha Qingshui to him for control, and then control the Uchiha clan, and finally ascend to the top of the Hokage!
#
Just when Shimura Danzo entered the fantasy time.
Qingshui was standing in a corner of the clan land, chatting with Uchiha Yashiro with a smile.
At this moment, Uchiha Yashiro was introducing his friends to Qingshui: "He is Tiehuo, he is Daohuo, this one is Yaowei..."
"This is my uncle, the elder of our clan, Uchiha Yan."
After Uchiha Yashiro drank with Tiehuo and Daohuo that day, Qingshui's deeds were spread secretly and openly in the Uchiha clan.
At that time, Uchiha Yashiro said: He could tell others about the beating, but he could only tell it when he was trying to win support from the clan for Qingshui, and he had to pay attention to a certain degree of confidentiality.
After all, this was done behind the backs of the Uchiha clan elders Setsuna and Uchiha Fugaku, who are now in power.
Uchiha Setsuna's malice towards Qingshui is well known in the Uchiha clan, and Uchiha Fugaku, as the clan leader, is very close to Uchiha Setsuna, and his attitude can also be seen.
But the problem is: when you tell someone a secret and allow him to tell others conditionally, sooner or later everyone will know.
The Uchiha clan's three magatama members who are currently present are probably in this situation.
Everyone knows that Yasai was beaten, but they think that only they and the person they told know...
"These are all clan members I am familiar with. Although you are not familiar with Qingshui-kun on weekdays, you have been friends for a long time..."
Uchiha Yasai hinted at Qingshui with his eyes, as if saying: "These are all our people! I found them, I am awesome, right?"
Qingshui gave him a subtle look to show encouragement, and then politely greeted everyone: "You are all my predecessors and elders, Qingshui is very happy to meet you."
"If you are injured in your practice on weekdays, I know some superficial medical ninjutsu, and I welcome everyone to come Come visit my house..."
Uchiha Yasada quickly nodded: "Qingshui's medical ninjutsu is very powerful!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Uchiha Inahiro's eyes. His waist injury is an old problem, which greatly affects his instant body technique...
"I have also dabbled in the swordsmanship of our Uchiha clan. If there is a chance, I hope to exchange with you."
Uchiha Yan smiled: "Qingshui boy, I am also a fan of our clan's swordsmanship. There are also the classics of the young clan leader Izuna at home. Let's find a day to meet friends with swords!"
Uchiha Yasada looked at his uncle with a subtle expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Old Deng, you think you are very good at fighting, right?
It's redundant to look at the classics of the young clan leader Izuna. It's better to watch Qingshui practice swordsmanship directly...
He has decided that when Uchiha Yan goes to find Qingshui, he must watch!
Qingshui smiled and agreed to everyone, and slowly said: "I can cook a few good dishes. Since Brother Yashiro has introduced so many friends to me today, why don't you come to my house and be my guest?"
Uchiha Yashiro's eyes lit up, he hasn't been to Qingshui's house yet!
The other Uchiha also laughed. It seems that Qingshui was not perfunctory to them before, but really respected them.
Otherwise, he wouldn't invite people to his home for dinner when they first met. This must be a word to say behind closed doors!
"Okay, let's try Qingshui's cooking today!"
"Qingshui boy, today I have a request? I want to eat beef!"
"Qingshui, I may have to trouble you again later. I want to see my waist..."
For a while, the scene was very lively. Everyone surrounded Qingshui in the middle, talking and laughing.
What's interesting is that there are hawks, doves, and neutrals in the Uchiha clan, but when their eyes meet at this time, there is only Qingshui who is smiling gently.
Just as the Uchiha clan was about to leave, a man slowly walked out of the shadows and looked at Qingshui with sharp eyes: "Party? How about taking me with you..."
This man is the current head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Yashiro narrowed his eyes, quietly blocked in front of Qingshui, and forced a smile: "Clan leader Fugaku, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a good habit..."
Uchiha Fugaku snorted coldly: "I'm just passing by, and you are too noisy!"
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Qingshui across the crowd, feeling complicated.
As the clan leader, he hopes that Qingshui can be related to the top leaders of Konoha, but he doesn't want to be bypassed. Uchiha Fugaku also wants to participate in the decision-making of the top leaders...
After all, he is the clan leader of the Uchiha clan!
Why don't the clan members report their actions to him as the clan leader?
Otherwise, what's the point of him being the leader of the clan? He can't even control the direction of the clan...
Uchiha Fugaku disliked this feeling that the power in his hands was not solid enough but was gradually being lost.
He had no real dislike for Qing Shui, but Qing Shui's existence touched his interests, which was enough to make Uchiha Fugaku wary.
Qing Shui glanced at Uchiha Fugaku. He didn't have a good impression of this man...
A clan leader allows his son to massacre his clan members without taking any action. What else can be said?
Among the clansmen who trusted him and followed him, which one trusted him just to be killed by Uchiha Itachi?
This hesitant and repetitive character...
But just when Qing Shui smiled and was about to speak, Tsunade ran over in a hurry, ignoring the surprised Uchiha.
Uchiha Yashiro blinked.
What do the guards of this tribe do? Are you letting outsiders in without anyone to take care of you?
Oh, she's the princess of the Land of Fire, so that's okay, there's no place in this village that she can't go to.
"Qing Shui, come with me, someone wants to see you!"
Tsunade ignored Qing Shui's refusal, rubbed his black hair forcibly, and looked at his clothes: "It's okay, no need to change clothes, this is it!"
"Tsunade, as the leader of the clan, I have something to do with Qing Shui. Please wait for another day."
Uchiha Fugaku grimaced and said in a deep voice: "We, the Uchiha clan, are holding a clan meeting tonight."
Tsunade sneered and looked back at Uchiha Fugaku.
She was not familiar with this person, but in just a moment, Tsunade understood what Uchiha Fugaku wanted to do.
This is to show Qing Shui's power!
"Uchiha Fugaku, do you know who wants to see Qing Shui?" Tsunade said with a sneer, looking at Uchiha Fugaku playfully, with a straightforward provocation in her eyes.
Uchiha Fugaku looked around at the expressions of his clan members sizing him up, and his heart sank.
Although he was very reluctant to offend Tsunade, if he backed down at this time, his prestige as the leader of the clan would be really ruined.
"No matter who he is, Uchiha Qingsui belongs to the Uchiha clan, and it is necessary to participate in the clan meeting!"
Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand majestically: "Don't Tsunade-hime, who was born in Senju, understand this truth?"
"Oh, it's my grandmother Uzumaki Mito who wants to see Qing Shui."
Tsunade looked at Uchiha Fugaku's smile that instantly stiffened, and said with a smile: "Chief Fugaku, do you agree?"
Uchiha Fugaku froze on the spot.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen! Uchiha Fugaku was able to find a way to keep his mouth shut without making the situation so ugly.
But if it were Uzumaki Mito, Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't even want to be stubborn.
I saw Uchiha Fugaku forcing an awkward smile and quickly turned around and left.
He originally wanted to snort, but when it reached his throat, he swallowed it back.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, I was invited by an elder..."
Qing Shui still had the same gentle look, no different from before: "Let's go now, seniors, if Qing Shui can help in the future, just come to me directly at home..."
The Uchiha nodded repeatedly.
They knew that what Qing Shui was saying at the moment might be mere words, but after Tsunade mentioned Uzumaki Mito, it sounded more and more pleasant to the ears.
Look at Qing Shui, he is gentle and polite, neither arrogant nor impetuous!
Looking back at Uchiha Fugaku, I can only say that he is not very good at rating...
Uchiha Yashiro stared at Qing Shui's back and laughed.
Uchiha Yan scolded him and whispered: "Tell your second uncle, how come Qing Shui has such a good relationship with Tsunade, and how can he get along with Uzumaki Mito?"
Although Uchiha Yashiro didn't know anything, he waved his hand inscrutably: "I can only understand the things here naturally. The water is still relatively deep, and the interests involved are more complicated..."
"Anyway, everyone, if you have any questions about Qing Shui, you can come and talk to me. We have a good relationship..."
Everyone in the Uchiha looked at the back of Qing Shui, who was not far away, talking and laughing side by side with Tsunade.
Then he looked at Yashiro Uchiha who was standing with his hands behind his back. Everyone was sour for a moment. Everyone who knew the inside story was cursing in their hearts:
"What the hell, let this brat Uchiha Yashiro pretend!"
"Why is this kid so lucky? This old guy Setsuna deserves to die. Why didn't he let me get beaten?"
And in Qing Shui's body.
Qian Shu Feijian said in a deep voice: "Qing Shui, accept my power, this is not an easy matter!"
