Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

"Master..." Lin barely stood still, looking at the other party's fish face mask, an incredible idea emerged in her mind!

Because in Konoha's legend, there is only one person who wears a fish-face mask!

"Are you Lord Dihuangwan, the Water God?!" Lin said in disbelief, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, Lord Dihuangwan has already..."

"He's dead, right?" Dihuangwan took off his mask and revealed a gentle smile.

"In the entire ninja world, except for my wife Feiyun, my disciples Minato, Kushina, and Orochimaru, no one knows that I am still alive!" Dihuangwan said, "Of course, you are the fifth one!"

"You really are Lord Dihuang Wan!!!" Lin still couldn't believe it.

Dihuang Wan shook his head helplessly and said, "Wait for me for a moment!"

Then the figure disappeared. Lin stared blankly at the Dihuang Wan disappearing. She was sure in her mind that it was the Flying Thunder God Technique, because Minato often used this technique around them and she was very familiar with it!

After a few breaths, Dihuangwan returned to the courtyard. At the same time, a figure appeared beside Dihuangwan!

"Lin, you're okay, that's great!" A red-haired woman rushed over and hugged Lin!

Lin's eyes were soaked with tears, and she was speechless for a while. After a long time, a trembling voice came out, "Teacher Kushina, I'm still alive!"

After the two of them calmed down, Dihuang Wan spoke, "Little girl, can I prove my identity now?"

Kushina wiped Lin's tears and said, "Lin, this is Minato and I's teacher, Suishin Dihuangwan! He's your master!"

Lin walked up to Dihuang Wan, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Master Dihuang Wan, I was rude before!"

Dihuang Wan helped Lin up and said, "It's okay, Shuimen's disciples are very spiritual and have personality, not bad, not bad!"

Afterwards, Dihuangwan told Kushina and Lin what had happened before, and they finally understood what had happened!

"Teacher, I'll go and bring Obito back!" Kushina said.

"No, Obito's problem will eventually need to be solved by Team 7 themselves. You have to believe in their bond. As long as Rin is alive, Obito will come back sooner or later!"

Dihuangwan added: "Moreover, this is also an opportunity for Obito, an opportunity to become stronger! Only after experiencing hardships can one truly grow!"

"Obito!" Lin murmured, feeling very sad when she thought of everything Obito had gone through!

"I didn't expect that Master's illusion technique is so powerful! She is really a hidden talent!" Kushina sighed after listening to Dihuangwan's account of what happened.

"In Konoha today, no one can escape unscathed from Feiyun's illusion! Even for me, it would be difficult!" Dihuangwan said, very proud of Feiyun's achievements!

"Lord Dihuangwan, what should I do now? Can I go back to the village?" Lin asked.

"No, you have just become the One-Tail's Jinchūriki and need to adapt. Besides, the news that you are still alive needs to be kept secret even more than the news that I am alive! For you, only here with me is safe!" Dihuangwan shook his head.

"Kushina, you need to keep today's events a secret, and don't tell Minato about it for now!"

"Even Minato is hiding it!" Kushina frowned.

"If Lin wasn't already the One-Tail's Jinchūriki, neither you nor I would have told you!" Dihuangwan said.

"I came to you for two reasons. First, to clarify my identity, and second, for Yiwei!"

"The seal that Sunagakure placed on Lin was too crude. While Lin was unconscious, I had already re-placed the seal!"

"The seal now is very strong. It will not harm Lin's body and will make it easier for her to control the power of One-Tail in the future!"

"Teacher's sealing technique is better than mine. It will be foolproof if the teacher sets the seal!" Kushina said.

"I'll make you a seafood dinner, especially Lin, who needs to replenish her energy. After the meal, we'll go meet Shukaku, the one-tailed beast!" Dihuangwan said.

After dinner, the three of them came into the house. Kushina and Dihuangwan surrounded Lin in the middle, and the three of them entered Lin's sealed space!

This place is decorated very brightly by Dihuangwan, and the one-tailed Shukaku is behind an iron gate!

"Shukaku, long time no see!" Dihuangwan said.

"Yes, it's you!" When Shukaku saw Dihuangwan, he took a few steps back in fear and stayed away from the iron gate.

The last time Shukaku saw Dihuangwan was when he was inside the body of Monk Fenfuku. He had no power to resist and ended up being sealed and killed!

"Haha, I didn't expect the One-Tail to be so afraid of the teacher!" Kushina laughed.

Hearing a red-haired woman mocking him, Shukaku was very angry, "Hey, that woman, you actually mocked me, shut up!"

"Hmph, Shukaku, you are so arrogant. How dare you speak to my Jinchuriki like that!" A little red fox appeared beside Kushina. It was the chakra body of the Nine-Tails!

"Kurama! Damn, it's you. No wonder I feel disgusted when I see that red-haired woman! It turns out you are your Jinchūriki!" Shukaku's voice became higher when he saw the Nine-Tails appear!

As we all know, Shukaku, the One-Tailed Fox, hates the Nine-Tailed Fox the most!

"Hmph, a weak raccoon cat can only chatter!" Kyuubi sarcastically said without mercy.

"Shut up, you damn fox! I hate you, get out of here!" Shukaku exploded, but unfortunately, under the effect of the seal, apart from causing some airflow, nothing else happened!

"Okay, stop arguing, Kurama, and stop provoking Shukaku!" Dihuangwan came out to smooth things over.

At the same time, the chakra bodies of the three-tailed Isobu and the six-tailed Rhino also appeared beside him!

At this point, four of the nine tailed beasts, One-Tail, Three-Tail, Six-Tail, and Nine-Tail, have met historically!

This is the first time in a thousand years that half of the tailed beasts have gathered together!

"Isofu, Rhino, you are here too!" Shukaku said in surprise.

"Shukaku, long time no see!" said Sanwei Iso.

"I never thought that there would be a day when the four of us would be able to gather together!" said the six-tailed rhino dog.

"Okay, all the main people are here, and the reminiscing session is over. It's time to start the meeting! I want to explain my next plan!" Dihuang Wan said.

After that, Yiwei was forced to listen to the entire meeting! From the beginning, he was impatient and didn't want to listen, to the end, he was terrified, afraid of missing any details!

"Is what you said true? Is it so exciting?" Shukaku said.

"Of course, Shukaku, whether you like it or not, you are destined to join this plan!" Dihuangwan said, "After the plan succeeds, all of you will be reborn and truly become yourselves!"

"I'm willing to join your plan!" said Shukaku, the one-tailed beast. He was not a person who would settle for less, and Dihuangwan's plan was very beneficial to him!

"Okay, welcome to join us, Shukaku. I hope you can get along well with Lin in the future. In the future, she will give you freedom!" Dihuangwan said.

Before dark, Dihuangwan sent Kushina back to Konoha Village, and everything about Rin will remain a secret for the time being!

For Konoha, there are only two more names on the memorial tablet, Uchiha Obito and Rin!
