Naruto: Can't learn ninjutsu? I'll just practice immortality!

It is a war period now, and most ninjas find it difficult to return to Konoha to visit their loved ones even if they have passed away.

However, Tsunade and Nawaki have different identities. In addition, Uzumaki Mito has a special identity. She is not only Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but also the wife of the first Hokage. In terms of identity, even the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen can hardly raise his head in front of her.

Therefore, after Tsunade accepted a task to escort supplies, she took Nawaki and Asakawa Naoki back to Konoha.

The front line is not close to Konoha Village, and it is almost the distance of two crossings of the Rain Country.

At the beginning, it took nearly half a month for the nine people of the three teams to escort the caravan from Konoha to the front line.

Fortunately, Tsunade, Nawaki and Asakawa Naoki did not need to escort the caravan when they returned. If they traveled at full speed, it would take less than five days. The main reason was that Nawaki, who was a Chunin, slowed down the speed of the two.

Fortunately, Kushina was not much earlier than them, and there was still some preparation work before transferring the tailed beasts, so there was no need to worry about being late.

On the morning of the fifth day, the three of them appeared in front of Konoha Village.

After Tsunade presented the mission, the three of them entered Konoha Village very smoothly and walked to the outside of the Hokage office building.

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask the Third Hokage." Tsunade said.

Asakawa Naoki and Nawaki waited for a while, and Tsunade came to the two of them with a warrant.

"Let's go."

Tsunade rushed to the undeveloped edge of Konoha Village, and Asakawa Naoki and the other two followed behind Tsunade in silence.

Not long after, the three of them came to a forest.

This forest seemed ordinary, but in Asakawa Naoki's consciousness, the scene in front of him was all a phantom, and the real situation was like an inverted bowl, covering the inside tightly.

"Is it a barrier constructed by ninjutsu?"

Asakawa Naoki did not try to probe his consciousness into it. It was not sure whether his consciousness could avoid the barrier in front of him and not be discovered. If he was discovered, it would only add to his troubles.

"Stop!" An Anbu ninja in black and a white dog-faced mask appeared in front of the barrier and warned the three people:

"The front is Konoha's important place, please retreat quickly."

"I am Tsunade, here is the order of the Hokage." Tsunade showed the order to the Anbu ninja for inspection.

"No problem, it is the order issued by the Hokage." The Anbu ninja slowly stepped aside and said:

"Tsunade-sama, please come in, but the two behind please stop."

"Naoki is my brother, Naoki is my disciple, why are they not allowed to come in?" Tsunade frowned.

Tsunade was in a bad mood to see her grandmother for the last time, and she didn't expect this Anbu ninja to be so stubborn, which made her even worse.

"This is the order of the Hokage..." The Anbu ninja wanted to say something, but was stopped by a weak and old voice inside the barrier.

"Let little Naoki and little Naoki come in, they are both good kids."

"But," the Anbu ninja wanted to say something, Tsunade had already passed him, and Naoki and Naoki also walked into the barrier.

Entering the barrier, there was a new scene in front of him, several small buildings stood on the flat ground. Even without using the divine sense to search, Asakawa Naoki could keenly perceive several vigilant eyes.

When using the divine sense to scan the surroundings, it was found that no less than ten ninjas were guarding in the barrier, guarding against enemies that might appear at any time.

"Little Tsunade, you bring them in."

An old voice came from the small building in the center, which was the voice that stopped the Anbu before.

The three walked into the small building in the center, and when they opened the door, they smelled the disinfectant in the hospital. There were no separate rooms inside, and only a white bed came into view.

On the hospital bed, there was a woman with a diamond-shaped mark on her forehead, her long red hair was mostly gray, and she was still injecting nutrient solution in her hand.

Although she was old, she did not look old. She looked only in her forties or fifties. Her beautiful face and unique temperament made people imagine her outstanding grace when she was young. It was hard to imagine that she was an old man of the same era as the first Hokage.

Asakawa Naoki knew that the woman in front of him was Uzumaki Mito.

If it really came to power, Uzumaki Mito, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the wife of the first Hokage, could even suppress the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen, most Konoha ninjas probably didn't even know the low-key Uzumaki Mito.

"Naoki, I'm so glad you're okay!"

The moment she saw Asakawa Naoki's figure, Uzumaki Kushina, who had been sitting next to Uzumaki Mito, rushed over and hugged Asakawa Naoki. Water mist soon condensed in her eyes.

Ever since Asakawa Naoki took the initiative to stay behind to cover the retreat, Uzumaki Kushina has beenNaoki felt uneasy.

Although she wanted to go to the Land of Rain to save Naoki Asakawa, Kushina knew her own strength and knew that with her own strength, going to the Land of Rain would only be a burden, making her live in torment every day.

When Uchiha Mikoto opened the Three Magatama Sharingan, Kushina, who was unwilling to be weak, finally recalled what her grandmother Uzumaki Mito had told her about the mission of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

At that moment, Kushina's desire for power overcame her fear and disgust for the monster Nine-Tails, and she was determined to accept the responsibility of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Danzo and the Konoha high-level officials were unwilling to save the strong Naoki, so she went to save him herself!

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Naoki Asakawa touched Kushina's long hair and comforted her: "I said before that I would protect you, how could I die easily?"

"Haha, it seems that my Kushina's vision is still good." Uzumaki Mito laughed.

"Grandma~" Kushina finally realized that there were people around, and two blushes quickly rose on her pretty face, and her tightly clasped hands loosened.

"You are Asakawa Naoki, right? Kushina has been talking about you almost every day these days since I came back." Uzumaki Mito's still bright black eyes stared straight at Asakawa Naoki, as if he could see through him.

"I didn't expect that at such a young age, you can already escape from Hanzo. You are really young and promising."

"I was lucky to learn the instant body technique better, so I am good at escaping." Asakawa Naoki explained with a smile.

"Don't be too humble, kid. Sometimes you still need to be a little proud. Hashirama was not necessarily as strong as you when he was the same age as you." Uzumaki Mito said happily.

The only person who can tease Hashirama Senju like this, besides Uchiha Madara who is still alive, is probably Uzumaki Mito in front of him.

"It would be better if you are stronger. Then I can leave Kushina to you without any worries."

Uzumaki Mito looked at the two of them with a smile. Asakawa Naoki didn't know how to respond, and Kushina's face became even redder. She lowered her head and didn't dare to let the others see her expression clearly.
