The light shone on the uneasy face of the young old woman, and also illuminated the custom-made brown shrine on a cabinet on the wall.
If any local from Konoha were to come up and look at the photo displayed there, they would surely recognize that it was the most powerful man in Konoha in the past: Hashirama Senju in his youth.
"Hey, old lady."
"Since Konoha doesn't trust the Uzumaki clan, why don't you come out with me and cause a ruckus?!"
Outside, the village showed distrust and sent out more secret agents to monitor her movements.
Inside, the nine-tailed fox, a pet that "never misses a good show," was constantly trying to provoke her.
"So, the Uzumaki clan, along with the Senju clan, will also disappear from the world of ninjas?"
"Really."
"I'm not reconciled."
If Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki could fight at full strength, the Second Shinobi World War would never have broken out—age is a fatal flaw. If he were to get injured or expend too much energy in battle, Mito might lose control of the Nine-Tails and die on the spot.
Konoha Village is what my husband built and was willing to risk his life to protect.
A clan refers to former family members and relatives.
Faced with these two choices, Mito Uzumaki, as the current nuclear weapon, really didn't know which to choose.
Just then, Mito Uzumaki suddenly closed her eyes.
In the darkness, the area outside the ancestral home opened up in an instant.
Each chakra reaction that appears corresponds to the existence of a living being.
Furthermore, it can perceive the approximate shape, quantity, and even intensity of each creature's chakra.
This allows them to determine the specific level of the ninja or the type of ninja beast the other party may be.
This is also a bloodline of the Uzumaki clan: Kagura's Mind's Eye.
"coming."
"A ninja skilled in Earth Release? He managed to evade the surveillance of both the Anbu and Root..."
At this point, Mito Uzumaki opened her eyes and glanced at a corner of the room, a spot that was not visible from the outside through the shoji doors.
"Who are you?"
The tatami space was not disturbed at all by the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used to escape from the earth) of the person who arrived. Compared to a normal emergence from the earth, the speed was somewhat slow in order to avoid attracting attention from the outside world. It took a full three minutes for the person to emerge completely.
As always, she wore a colorful rabbit mask, a blue and white high-necked cape, and a Japanese-style ponytail.
"Surgeon".
"I think I've already told Konoha about my codename."
"What? As the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the strongest ninja in Konoha today."
"There's not even this kind of news?"
The man glanced over and his eyes fell on a memorial tablet on top of a cabinet, with a photo of Hashirama Senju smiling in his youth.
"really."
"The village and my family."
"From the moment the priorities are reversed."
"Darkness has already begun to fester."
Chapter 57 Hidden Mist: The Prophet? (It's time for a slash!)
Inside the wooden house.
As Shirahoshi's words fell to the ground, Mito Uzumaki, kneeling on the tatami mat, remained expressionless.
In the silence, wisps of white steam rose from the warm tea in Mito's teacup.
"I know that something must have gone wrong somewhere in this matter."
"But I am powerless to do anything about it."
Shirahoshi glanced at Mito Uzumaki, who had finished speaking and picked up her teacup to drink, and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"
After the tea was finished, the young old woman slammed the teacup down with a slight creak.
"For the village."
"This is the only thing I can do."
After the words were spoken, the room fell silent again.
A moment later, Mito Uzumaki looked intently at Shirahoshi:
"You were the one who did the work last time, weren't you?"
Bai Xing remained silent.
"Thank you. If it weren't for your help, my grandson might have died in that mission."
"What do you want in return?"
"..."
"You came to me today not just to question me about the Uzumaki clan as a 'Konoha ninja,' but to ask me about it?"
"What if I weren't a Konoha ninja?"
"Then let's see if you can endanger Konoha Village." A cold glint flashed in Mito Uzumaki's eyes:
"If you dare to harm the village, no matter who you are, I will... kill you before that happens!"
"How cruel! Is this how you treat the person who saved your grandson?"
"If...Tsunade and Nawaki were to threaten the village, would you kill them too?"
Despite being threatened, Shirahoshi remained unfazed, instead adopting a provocative tone and staring directly into his eyes.
"For Konoha."
"..."
"I believe that these two children will not betray the village."
"It seems you haven't completely inherited your husband's will."
Upon hearing this, Mito Uzumaki's aura suddenly erupted, causing a violent tremor in the room, with the surrounding walls and floor swaying slightly.
Meanwhile, the Dark Side and the Roots outside seemed to have noticed the commotion inside and became alert, but no one dared to easily enter and investigate: clearly, Lord Mito inside was angry and in a state of rage.
"Are you... looking for death?"
"Oh my gosh~ How terrifying~ As expected of the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, the wife of the First Hokage, Lady Uzumaki Mito~!"
Bai Xing crossed her arms, and even though the wall behind her was shaking slightly, dust was falling from the wall above, and her feet were a little unsteady, her gaze remained fearless.
Even if the strength is very great.
"But your heart."
"It's no longer powerful."
The moment Shirahoshi finished speaking, she tossed a bundled intelligence scroll to Mito.
Mito reached out and caught it, glanced down at the scroll in his hand, and asked, "What's inside?"
"The Hidden Mist Plan."
"Of course, this is the intelligence I've gathered during this time outside the village."
"While we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy, we can assure you that the results will occur as described above."
"Then, Lord Mito."
"As someone behind the scenes, I am very much looking forward to the ending of the Land of Whirlpools, and whether it will happen as I predicted."
Shirahoshi used Earth Release directly, her body gradually sinking into the ground, no longer caring about the attention of the outside world: after all, the chakra that Mito unleashed was enough to cause the outside world to make a wrong judgment.
"Ghana."
One minute later, Shirahoshi disappeared from the room, and at the same time, Mito's burst of chakra completely subsided.
It's unclear whether Mito is covering for Shirahoshi or concealing her own aging and cowardly heart.
wow-
Two ANBU, or more precisely, one Root and one ANBU, a total of four people, stood in the corridor. One of them hurriedly opened the shoji door and bowed in greeting:
"Lord Mito, what has happened?"
As they spoke, the four men glanced around the room. When they noticed a section of a tatami mat that had been lifted, and a bundled intelligence scroll on Mito's table, their eyes widened in surprise:
Could it be that the Senju clan still has unregistered Jonin?!
The fact that they entered from the outside without attracting the attention of the four of them shows that they are at least elite-level ninjas.
Mito was still drinking tea when he slightly moved his head and glanced back.
In an instant, the oppressive aura emanating from the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, a Kage-level being, surged into the four people's vision, as if a ferocious and enormous Nine-Tails demon fox was staring intently at them.
After a while, the terrifying aura of the powerful figure eased slightly. The four of them were covered in sweat, and all the lines in their minds had vanished.
"Go out."
"it's here."
"No one can hurt me."
The member of the secret service who opened the door retreated shakily, bowing again: "Yes!"
#
Once she sensed the four people outside had gone far away, Mito Uzumaki slowly unwrapped the information scroll that Shirahoshi had given her.
"Old woman, aren't you afraid there might be a trap inside?"
Inside his body, the enormous nine-tailed fox, whose body was locked in place by the Vajra Sealing Technique, still looked defiant.
Mito just forcibly extracted its chakra to show off, but didn't kill a single person. It's truly a powerful person with a benevolent heart, just like Hashirama Senju: It hates this kind of person the most!
