Konoha's New Third Hokage

At this time, there was only one main clan house left in the Thousand Hands clan, and the rest of the land was allocated to civilians for living. Although it had long been known that the Thousand Hands clan had suffered heavy losses in population and that the clan members had abandoned their surnames and retired to seclusion, looking at the lives of the clan at that time Misaki was a little sad that the land had become what it was now.

"Is this the place to live?" At this time, Shengshu said.

"Yeah." Misaki nodded and touched her son's head, "It's a pity that I didn't get to meet your grandpa. He should also like you very much."

"When the generation passed away, I was not there. I never thought that someone as powerful as him could do it." The man on the side said. He was Misaki's husband, named Uzumaki Kazuhiko.

"It's all because of Uchiha Madara." There was some resentment in Misaki's voice. She had no good impression of the unsmiling Uchiha Madara before, and even more so now. When Uchiha Madara defected, her father still believed in him. As a result, Uchiha However, Haobara returned with the Kyuubi to destroy the Konoha ninja village.

"Mother." Seeing that Misaki's expression was very bad, Naoki gently took her hand.

Misaki came back to her senses, smiled at her son, and then said to Uzumaki Kazuhiko: "Let's go, my mother and sister must have been waiting for a long time, and Tsuna may be here too."

Entering the main house, the maid at the door immediately went to inform Kana, who hurriedly came out to greet her, hugged Misaki, and said happily: "Long time no see, sister."

"Long time no see." Misaki patted Kana's back, also very happy.

Released his hands, Kana looked at Uzumaki Kazuhiko, bowed slightly, and said, "Long time no see, brother-in-law." Then he looked at the boy following Misaki. This child must be Nezuki.

Naoki was only three or four years old, with darker hair and some shadows on his face, which made Kana feel nostalgic, and smiled at him: "Hello, Naoki."

"Hello, Aunt Kana." Naoki replied in a crisp voice without any fear of strangers.

"What a lovely child." Kana touched Nasuki's head, and then said to Misaki, "Sister, go meet your mother. Mother is looking forward to seeing you."

While walking towards Mito's room, Misaki asked Kana about her mother's recent physical condition. Kana muttered, "My mother is still in good health, but old age is inevitable. She is almost sixty years old."

"Really?" Misaki nodded slightly. Although the Uzumaki family lived a long life, it did not mean that their bodies could always be full of vitality, unless there was a special medical secret to ensure the vitality of the body.

Arriving at a room, Kana gently opened the door and called "Mother". Mito, who was sitting in the room, raised his head and saw his eldest daughter and son-in-law whom he had not seen for many years. He smiled gently and said, "Here we are. Ah, just come in and sit."

Mito is very old, her bright red hair has almost turned white, and her face has wrinkles. She looks like an ordinary old woman in a simple white robe.She glanced at Naoki who was following Misaki and waved to him. Naoki hesitated for a moment and then walked over.

Mito looked at Naoki's face. Like Kana, she saw Hashirama's shadow in it, and she felt nostalgic and said, "You are Naoki, right?"

"Well, are you?" Shen Shu nodded and asked instead.

"Yes. You really look like your grandfather." Mito smiled.

"Really" Hearing that his grandmother looked like his grandfather, who was called the God of Ninja, Nao Shu laughed happily. He knew his grandfather's legendary stories, and he was the one he admired the most.

"It's not just the appearance, the talent of the rope tree is also very outstanding." Uzumaki Kazuhiko, "Before, we have seen that he can stimulate plants with chakra. Misaki and I think this may be"

"Maybe it's the blood inheritance limit of Mujutsu." Mito's unfinished words after leaving Uzumaki Kazuhiko, his heart was not shaken. The eldest grandson Tsunade did not show any blood inheritance limit, whether it was Hashirama's Mujutsu or Mito's Uzumaki bloodline, None of them showed the slightest, but now the rope tree has shown its talent in wood escape.

"I heard that grandpa relied on the secret technique of wood escape to end troubled times." Naoki leaned in Mito's arms and looked up at her, "When I grow up, I will definitely be like grandpa."

"Haha, the ninja world is very peaceful now, and Naoki probably has no chance to appear." Mito said with a smile, a bit naughty in his words. Naoki looked surprised and touched his head: "Is it like this?"

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps at the door, and then the door was opened. Everyone looked and saw Tsunade holding the door frame, taking a breath, and then said: "Long time no see, mother, where is my brother?"

Seeing her daughter's frizzy look, Misaki frowned secretly. Because she lived in the capital of the Country of Whirlpool, she had very high requirements for etiquette. She gently scolded: "Tsuna, I haven't seen you for so long, why are you becoming more and more presumptuous?" "

Tsunade curled her lips and said, "I am a ninja, how can I be like those noble sisters."

Misaki was speechless and could only say, "You won't be able to get married if you act like this."

"What does it matter? Are you afraid that no one will want you? Besides, I don't have that desire now. I won't do it again in the future." Tsunade is very confident. As the granddaughter of the first Hokage, if she really wants to get married, she is afraid that she won't be able to find one.

"Kana, how do you teach the rules?" Seeing her daughter's confident look, Misaki couldn't help but complain to Kana.

Kana has not been engaged to anyone else so far. Misaki felt that it was Kana's attitude that gave Tsunade the illusion. Kana smiled helplessly and said, "Tsuna is still young now, so there is no need to consider this."

"That's right, Tsuna is still young. He will be sensible in the future." Uzumaki Kazuhiko persuaded his wife and said to Tsunade: "Long time no see, Tsuna."

"Father." Tsunade nodded towards her father. After all, they hadn't seen each other for many years and the relationship between the two was not that close, but at least the relationship between father and daughter was still there.

"Are you Sister Tsunade?" At this time, Naoki left Mito's arms and ran to Tsunade, raising his head.

"Well, you are Nao Shu, okay." Tsunade took Nao Shu's hand with a gentle smile on her face, "Sister, let's take you out to play. There are many fun things in the village."

"Is it really more fun than playing cards?" Nao Shu's eyes lit up.

"The cards are from the old almanac many years ago. You must be playing the previous generation. All the noble families are using this, and the village has long been updated." Tsunade snorted and smiled, "Let my sister show you how to play. Vision, let’s go.”

"Wait, Tsuna." Before Misaki could finish, Tsunade took the rope tree out. She said angrily, "I really don't know who he looks like."

"It's a generation-shifting statue." Mito said slowly, "Tsunade and Naoki both look like Hashirama in some places, so don't worry."

"Did my father have times like that before?" Misaki was slightly startled. She really didn't know about this.

"You don't know what he was like back then." Mito shook his head, "Don't mention those past events and let Naoki go and see things in the village. He will stay here anyway in the future."

"Did mother see it?" Misaki asked quickly after hearing this.

"You deliberately set up the rope tree in front of me. The child has the possibility of escaping the blood inheritance limit. I think it has other purposes." Mito laughed, "I have lived for most of my life, and you still want to use these tricks. Did you hide it from me?"

Uzumaki Kazuhiko and Misaki were a little embarrassed. Misaki glanced at her husband, and Uzumaki Kazuhiko understood: "Mom, actually I have something to ask for."

"You, I'm listening." Mito said quietly.

"Actually, it's because of our family's affairs. My mother must also know that our Uzumaki family's sealing technique is the strongest in the ninja world, so many people are very afraid of it. Relying on the relationship between Konoha Ninja Village, no one has ever expressed any concern. The Kingdom of Whirlpool took action, but after the last Ninja War, there were pirates causing trouble along the coast of the Kingdom of Whirlpool."

"It's the country of water." Mito immediately guessed the reason behind it.

"Well. In an island country like ours, maritime traders often travel, which often attracts prying eyes from some people. This is how pirates come. According to reports, some ninja families who declined during the Warring States Period made a living from this. In the past, the Kingdom of Whirlpool I haven't seen the coast yet, but now it suddenly appears. No matter what, it's because of the enmity with the Kirigakure Ninja Village during the Ninja World War." Uzumaki Kazuhiko said angrily.

"That's the village's fault. In fact, the Uzumaki Country shouldn't be involved." Mito sighed, "It's just that the situation was tense at that time, and we had to rely on the Uzumaki Country's power."

"No, mother, I don't mean to hold Konoha accountable." Uzumaki Kazuhiko smiled awkwardly, and then said: "I mentioned this matter because I think the country of Uzumaki is not as safe as we imagined. Even if there is no ninja world As for the war, won’t the Kingdom of Whirlpool be targeted by other people with ulterior motives?”

"I know this theory. Mr. Fengmori seems to have lived it before, mother." Kana's voice became cheerful, and it was like this every time he mentioned Masaki Fengmori.

Mito glanced at his daughter with pity and said, "That's what happened. He felt that the sealing technique of the Uzumaki family was very powerful, but it did not have a strong country to back it up. At the same time, it was far away from the mainland and located in the ocean. Konoha, which was an ally, did not A suitable water fighting ninja will easily be out of reach once an unexpected situation occurs. It is recommended that the Country of Whirlpool find a way to protect its own safety as soon as possible."

"Yes, I have this idea too. It's not that no one in the country has thought of it. It's just that they think that by ensuring a neutral country and not helping any country, they can avoid being involved in the ninja war. This is the same idea as the Iron Kingdom. It's so true." Uzumaki Kazuhiko's voice became serious.

"Is this what most people in the country think?" Mito frowned.

"Yes, it's all for Ming Zhebo's reasons. If the country of Uzumaki is similar to the country of Yu, I don't think it has anything to do with it. However, the sealing technique of the Uzumaki family does make most people afraid, even if they guarantee themselves It is impossible for us to be neutral like those countries." Uzumaki Kazuhiko.

"What do you mean?" Mito asked.

Uzumaki Kazuhiko replied: "My initial idea was to let the family join Konoha Ninja Village, but the people in the clan refused to give up the status of the king, and not many people were willing to support this proposal."

Hearing this, Mito shook her head. She knew that ordinary people pursue power. The Uzumaki family is the only special group in the ninja world that is both a ninja and a noble. It seems to be a good thing, but it also adds unnecessary trouble to the Uzumaki family. If you are a pure ninja family, you can join the Konoha Ninja Village without any scruples. If you are a noble, you cannot have the kind of feared sealing technique, and you can rely on other big countries like the country of Yu.

The Uzumaki family, which combines the two, has terrifying power, but cannot give up everything like ordinary ninja families. In the Canadian media Konoha Ninja Village, Mito, who is well aware of this, often feels helpless, especially when the Uzumaki family predicts When the situation is not so good, this helplessness becomes more obvious.

"Then what do you have in mind now?" Mito asked.

Uzumaki Kazuhiko lowered his head slightly and said, "I don't know if it is possible. My idea is to retain the fire of the Uzumaki family and send some of the Uzumaki family members to Konoha Ninja Village under certain names. Even if the country of Uzumaki really encounters Trouble, and Konoha Ninja Village cannot provide timely support, which can also ensure that the bloodline will not be cut off."

"This is a helpless move." Mito long sighed.

Uzumaki Kazuhiko's god is very helpless. If possible, he really hopes to allow the whole clan to enter the Konoha Ninja Village. However, those people in the clan who are obsessed with power are firmly opposed. Even if they are told that it is dangerous, they will deceive themselves. Rong felt that there was still room for change.Unless there is a real crisis of annihilation of the country, it is impossible to give up, and the most fearful thing is that once that happens, the Uzumaki family will not even have a chance to regret it.

"Everything must be prepared for a rainy day. I can only do this. First, let the rope tree be sent to Konoha." Uzumaki Kazuhiko, "If there is any chance in the future, I will send some clansmen here."

"Then you can pay attention to the birth of any child with strong chakra in the clan." Mito said calmly: "When the time comes, let that child come to the village as the second generation jinchūriki. In this name, Bring some backup.”

"Mother" Misaki and Kana looked surprised. Mito's words seemed to be foreshadowing something.

"Don't be so surprised, it's just that it will come sooner or later." Mito touched his abdomen, where there was the technique to seal the Nine Tails, "In recent years, my health has become worse and worse, and my chakra has also weakened. , just suppressing the Nine-Tails requires a lot of strength, and there is nothing you can do in peacetime, so it is time to train a new heir."

"But someone with strong chakra like you, mother," Misaki said solemnly.

"Well, to suppress a being like the Nine-Tails, the chakra required is extraordinary. Originally, it would be most suitable to choose from my descendants, but neither you nor Kana have that kind of power, so we have to choose from other members of the clan. Look there." Mito said, "Since I can appear in the clan, there should be a second one. If not, we can only choose the best person and find a way to make it carry the power of the Nine-Tails. Life is okay.”

"I will go back and pay attention." Uzumaki Kazuhiko.
