Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

Uzushiogakure Village, inner hall.

"Are you saying that Lord Mito is nearing the end of his life?"

Uzumaki Soumei looked at Tsunade sitting in the guest seat. Although his tone was concerned, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Yes." Tsunade's eyes turned sad. "Grandmother has dedicated her whole life to Konoha. If it weren't for the two tailed beasts sealed in her body at the same time, she would definitely want to come back and take a look."

As "honored" guests from Konoha, they were invited to the inner hall by the Uzumaki clan since they entered the village, and no etiquette was neglected.

After some conversation, Tsunade also revealed the purpose of this trip.

"You mean, you need the help of the Uzumaki clan to go to Konoha to seal the tailed beast?" Uzumaki Soumei said in a low voice and confirmed again.

Before Tsunade could answer, Nawaki stood up first and toasted Uzumaki Soumei with a glass of wine, "Yes, it would be best if the child is about my age."

"Child?" Kong Ming frowned slightly.

Sheng Shu raised his head, drank the wine in the cup, and said loudly:

"Although I am not talented, I also have Uzumaki blood flowing in my body. To be honest, although Uzushio Village is isolated, it is still slightly inferior to Konoha in terms of ninja education. If Uzumaki children can receive Konoha's education, I believe their future will have more possibilities. This will also make the connection between Konoha and Uzumaki closer!"

Kong Ming's face suddenly turned dark.

Hearing this, Jiraiya's hand that was holding the cup froze in mid-air, and even Tsunade looked at her brother in surprise.

Before they left for the Land of Whirlpools, Hiruzen had vaguely mentioned that the relationship between Konoha and Uzumaki was somewhat delicate nowadays, and the alliance was not as solid as it once was.

Looking at the hesitant teacher, Tsunade immediately guessed that Konoha might have done something wrong to the Uzumaki clan.

Under such circumstances, he openly stated the purpose of this trip. I really don’t know whether my brother is straightforward or an idiot.

Veins bulged on Xuanwo Kongming's forehead and his emotions were fluctuating. Suddenly, he remembered Shenyu's order. He immediately picked up the wine jug and gulped down a few mouthfuls. He took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

"Okay, since it's Konoha's request, how could our Uzumaki clan not respond?"

He clapped his hands and laughed, and Okinawa gave him a thumbs up, "As expected of you, Lord Hashirama's grandson. I agree with your idea."

Jiraiya's eyes widened immediately.

So easy... to reach an agreement?

You know, ever since they entered the Uzushiogakure Village, they have been treated with cold eyes all the way.

Those Uzumaki people didn't seem to be as passionate as their hair color. Instead, every look they gave them was full of indifference.

Although they were very polite, I always felt that these people were not sincere. It was as if they were being forced to act with them unwillingly.

Originally, he had already prepared himself mentally for the failure of the negotiations.

Who would have thought that Shengshu would hit the target unexpectedly?

Jiraiya looked up at Tsunade opposite him and found that her pretty face was also full of shock.

At this time, Uzumaki Soumei waved towards the side door, "Qionnoxiang, bring her over here."

Soon, a woman lifted the veil and walked in, followed by a young girl.

The woman had elegant manners and a dignified appearance, and the girl had a round face with almond eyes and rosy cheeks. Just by looking at their faces, you could tell that they were a mother and daughter.

They all had bright red hair, and stood in front of everyone hand in hand, with smiles on their faces.

"Uzumaki Kushina, she is extremely talented, of pure Uzumaki blood, and just turned 8 this year. She should be able to meet your needs, right?"

Tsunade nodded and said hesitantly: "Can we take this child away?"

Kong Ming smiled and said, "Of course, you must agree to one condition of mine."

"What conditions?"

Kong Ming thought of Shen Yu's words and said seriously: "After entering Konoha, you must treat her as a normal ninja and cannot restrict her freedom in the village. If she misses home, she must be allowed to come back."

"This..." Jiraiya and Tsunade looked at each other.

This request cannot be agreed to rashly. Not to mention that the Jinchūriki are the ones that must be protected in every village, even Uzumaki Mito has to confine himself to house arrest in order to suppress the two tailed beasts in his body.

Before they finished exchanging glances, Kong Ming clapped his hands, "Well, Kushina, are you willing to let these brothers and sisters take you to Konoha?"

"I would like to." Kushina rolled her eyes and nodded.

Jiraiya and the others immediately looked at Kyonoka eagerly.

"As long as you agree to that condition, I have no objection."

Kyonoka smiled slightly and reached out to touch her daughter's head, "Besides, as Master Nawaki said, if we go to Konoha, Kushina will gain more."

For some reason, as a woman's intuition, Tsunade always felt that the word "harvest" from Kyonoka's mouth was quite meaningful.

"We agreed."

Rope Tree said loudly: "I guarantee with my character that Kushina will go to school, take exams, and join the team like a normal child. The village will not restrict her freedom!"

"Rope Tree..." Jiraiya stretched out his hand, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"It's okay, Master." Sheng Shu turned around and smiled, "We can't expect too much."

"In that case, then there's no problem." Kong Ming laughed twice and drank the wine.

After eating and drinking, Tsunade and Jiraiya drowsily took little Kushina out of the inner hall and walked to the outside of the village.

The task was completed so easily that both of them felt like they were dreaming.

Only Nawaki seemed excited and eager, patting his chest as he introduced Konoha Village to Kushina.

Kushina pursed her lips and smiled, a faint smile, but a gentle face and his clear and gentle voice appeared in her mind.

"Kushina, are you willing to do something for your uncle?"

"Of course, uncle is Kushina's savior."

"Well, actually this won't be difficult for you. On the contrary, it will be very interesting."

"Really?"

"Well, listen carefully, you only need to complete three tasks..."

……

As soon as the few people left the village, the wind in the wild suddenly changed its flow rate and became more chilly.

Jiraiya and Tsunade paused at the same time.

Right before their eyes, a tall and thin young man came towards them, leading a group of red-haired Uzumaki clan members behind him.

The group of people were talking and laughing loudly, and they looked embarrassed, but there was excitement in everyone's eyes. They were dragging the corpse of a sea beast with chains behind them, and it was obvious that they had just returned from hunting.

But, none of this matters anymore.

Because at this moment, there was only one person left in the eyes of both of them.

Sheng Shu poked his head out in confusion, and when he saw the leader of the other party, he couldn't help but exclaimed:

"That's... Orochimaru?"
