Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

The news about the battle between Dihuangmaru and Uchiha Madara did not spread in Konoha. Some elders of the ninja clan only heard that Dihuangmaru had fought with a mysterious powerful man.

The relevant witnesses were ordered to keep their mouths shut. At the same time, the traces of the fight between Dihuangmaru and Madara were eliminated as much as possible by the Anbu ninjas with great effort!

As for how Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo would test the Uchiha clan later, and the Uchiha clan's reaction, Dihuangmaru was not clear!

Knowing that Dihuangwan, the ultimate black hand of the ninja world, has not had much contact with the Uchiha clan since he came to this world! Not even one of them can be considered an acquaintance!

In the evening, Dihuangmaru went to the Ninja School to pick up Minato and Kushina after school after a long absence.

"Teacher, you're back. Are you going to stay for just a while again to test our training progress?" said Namikaze Minato.

Rubbing Minato's yellow hair, Dihuangwan said: "No, Feiyun and I have finished our travels and officially returned to the village today!"

"Great! Master's wife is back! I haven't seen her for almost a year!" Kushina said happily.

Rubbing Kushina's red hair again, Dihuangwan said: "Let's go, let's go to my place for dinner today. Your master's wife is already preparing dinner! Also, I brought back a lot of good things from this trip. You can choose any of them as gifts!"

"Yeah! That's great! We have food to eat! And we get gifts to receive! Teacher, that's really great!" The two little ones were very happy.

"Ahem, but I still need to test your progress in cultivation!" Dihuang Wan said.

The two little ones were stunned for a moment as they were dancing!

When they were traveling in the Ninja World before, Dihuangwan would teleport back every week to check on the two of them and test their training progress. As a teacher, Dihuangwan has always been very strict, so the two of them were both looking forward to and afraid of Dihuangwan's tests!

After dinner, choosing gifts, and testing the training progress, Dihuangwan sent Minato and Kushina home one after another.

Kushina is currently still living in the Senju clan's residence. The servants here were disbanded after Uzumaki Mito's death. Now only Tsunade and Kushina live here (not counting the Anbu who are secretly monitoring Kushina). Tsunade often stays in the hospital all night and does not come back, so Kushina is still very lonely.

After Dihuangmaru sent Kushina back to his own house, he sensed four Anbu hiding around, but Dihuangmaru didn't say much.

Their presence will not disturb Kushina's normal life and friendships, and can also play a protective role. However, being monitored means no freedom and no privacy!

Dihuangwan did not leave immediately, but entered Kushina's house. Uchiha Madara had already begun his secret plan against Konoha, and he wanted to give Kushina special protection!

Just like Dihuangmaru’s own house, Dihuangmaru set up a special barrier for Kushina, and the detection range includes underground!

And, just like Kurama Feiyun, Dihuangwan also left a special life-saving method on Kushina!

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina is very special. She is destined to become the target of Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu!

"Kushina, how is your relationship with the Nine-Tails now?" asked Dihuangwan. He had previously reminded Kushina to communicate more with the Nine-Tails.

Kushina pouted and said unhappily, "That stinky fox always scared me at first! Then I talked to it every night. It could talk to me at first, but when it found out that I couldn't unlock the seal, it ignored me! Now, it just droops its ears and doesn't listen to me when it sees me coming in!"

"Oh? Is that so! Let's go into the sealed space and take a look at it!" Dihuangwan said.

Then Dihuangwan and Kushina sat facing each other in meditation, and then their hands touched, and Dihuangwan and Kushina entered the sealed space!

"Hey! Stinky fox, I'm here to see you again!"

Hearing Kushina's voice, the corners of Kyuubi's mouth twitched, and then he drooped his ears and covered the ear slits tightly! He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep!

Dihuangwan looked at the sealed space. It was different from Kushina's seal in the anime. In the anime, the Nine-Tailed Fox was fixed on the sphere, with its limbs and nine tails nailed to the sphere. It was very miserable!

The current seal is just like the one in Uzumaki Naruto's anime, where the Nine-Tails is just locked behind a giant door. It's much freer than the anime timeline!

"Hey! Stinky fox, you're ignoring me again!"

"Okay, Kushina, let me communicate with the Nine-Tails!" Dihuangwan touched Kushina's head.

Of course the Nine-Tailed Fox knew that Dihuangwan had also entered the sealed space. It had seen Dihuangwan in Uzumaki Mito's body before. Later, it was Dihuangwan who transferred and sealed it into Kushina's body, so it didn't want to pay any attention to Dihuangwan at all and pretended not to see it!

"Your temper has changed a lot since you came into Kushina's body, Kurama." Dihuangwan said.

Hearing the three words "Ku Lama", Nine Tails suddenly opened his eyes and stopped pretending. His nine tails spread out like a peacock spreading its tail, and his body exuded a violent aura!

Kushina was so scared that she immediately hid behind Dihuangwan, leaving only her head exposed.

"Who are you and why do you know the name Kurama!" Kyuubi spoke.

"Thousands of years ago, a goddess named Kaguya Ōtsutsuki appeared in the ninja world. She ate the divine fruit, gained the power of the gods, and ruled the entire world. Later, she gave birth to two children, one named Ōtsutsuki Hamura and the other Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo. When they grew up, they rebelled against their mother's rule. In order to suppress them, their mother transformed the divine tree that produced the divine fruit into the Ten Tails, but in the end she was still defeated and was sealed by her two children. The Ten Tails that the divine tree transformed into was divided into nine parts and became today's tailed beasts. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's two children, one was later called the Sage of Six Paths, and the other went to the moon to guard Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's seal forever!"

"You... you actually even know this! Who are you? Are you the old man's reincarnation?!" Kyuubi was shocked after hearing what Dihuangwan said! It reminded it of the memories that had been suppressed in its heart for a long time, and even the tone of its voice when talking to Dihuangwan became cautious!

"No, I am not the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage! I know all this because I once saw a stone carving that recorded everything! Including the names of the nine tailed beasts!" Dihuangmaru said.

"Stone carvings? Was it left behind by the old man?" Kyuubi asked.

"Then I'm not sure! Besides, I'm not the only one who has seen this stone carving. Your old acquaintance, Uchiha Madara has also seen it!" Dihuangwan's words, a mixture of true and false, have already fooled the Nine-Tails!

"Uchiha Madara! That damn human!" Upon hearing Uchiha Madara's name, the Nine-Tails was very angry. He had been free for so many years, but it was because of Uchiha Madara that he was captured by Senju Hashirama and began his sealed life, losing his freedom as a fox!
