Konoha’s New Third Hokage

"Konoha's New Three Generations of Hokage ()"

After the Uzumaki family moved to Konoha Ninja Village, Konoha Ninja Village gave them the few remaining land of the Senshou family for them to live in. After the loss of the Uzumaki Kingdom's defense war, and the Uzumaki family's population itself is not very prosperous, the clan is now withered, but it can still live.

At the center of the clan is Mito's house, where Kushina has always lived. Because Kushina came here as a candidate Churiki, Mito cared for her very much, and letting her stay by his side was also for the purpose of taking care of her.

After coming out of the graduation ceremony, Kushina went straight home, said "I'm back", took off her shoes, and put them in order. At this time, someone came out to greet her, Misaki, the eldest daughter of Mito. After returning to Konoha Ninja Village, her family lived here, because the house was very big, and it would not disturb Mito who was recuperating.

"Welcome back, Kushina." Misaki said with a smile, "How do you feel about the graduation ceremony?"

"It's okay." Kushina agreed, "How is Grandma Mito?"

"It's not bad." Misaki's expression darkened slightly. Her mother's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years. I have a hunch that the time for my mother to leave this world like my father is not far away.

After tidying up her mood, Misaki told Kushina that Mito ordered to meet her after Kushina came back. Hearing this, Kushina's heart tightened slightly. Although Misaki is Mito's daughter, because Kushina is Mito's successor to a certain extent, she knows more, maybe even Misaki doesn't. I know the decision Mito made recently.

"I see." Kushina could guess what Mito told her to do there, thinking that this day would come after all, but she couldn't accept it no matter what.

Misaki brought Kushina to Mito's room, gently opened the door, and said something inside. In the room, Mito was sitting on his knees reading a book. Hearing the voice, he raised his head, smiled and said to Kushina behind him, "You're here, come here quickly."

"Go." Misaki turned her head and said, instead of going in together, she chose to leave, and the rest of the time belonged to Mito and Kushina.

Kushina knelt down in front of Mito, and Mito looked at her quietly, with very loving eyes, just like looking at his own daughter. In fact, for the three daughters who died because of Kyuubi, Mito transferred all his feelings to Kushina, who was also troubled by Kyuubi.

"It's such a novelty dress, I haven't seen it much before." Mito looked curiously at the Konoha school uniform on Kushina's body. She usually doesn't travel much, and she doesn't care much about other things except for important village affairs. The idea is still biased towards tradition, and there is no accurate understanding of the rapidly changing Konoha Ninja Village.

"This is the school's required clothes." Kushina said, she glanced at Mito secretly, met Mito's eyes, immediately lowered her head, and whispered: "Grandma Mito, have you really decided? "

"Yeah." Mito straightened his body slightly, with a smile still on his face, "I've already decided, anyway, I don't have much time to live as an old woman. I'd better transfer as soon as I still have strength. When it dies, it’s not clear whether it can be properly transferred.”

The Nine-Tails Seal on Mito's body is mainly based on the unique ability of the Uzumaki family - the Vajra Chain - a sealing technique woven based on it. With the decline of Mito's own chakra, the suppressing ability of this sealing technique will be reduced. It is getting worse and worse, and now it is still able to maintain the seal, mainly because the Chakra of the Uzumaki family itself suppresses the tailed beasts, and at the moment when it really reaches the end of life, it is impossible for Mito's Chakra to maintain the seal. Transfers are a hassle.

Kushina could understand this decision, but she still couldn't accept it in her heart, not only because of the pain of Mito's imminent death like her own grandma,

There is also anxiety about accepting the seal of Nine Tails. Although she had realized something in her heart in the past, when she faced it, she felt that her heart was still unable to calm down.

"Grandma Mito..." At this point, Kushina felt her voice tremble a little, she couldn't help lowering her head, and her eyes felt moist.

Seeing this, Mito stretched out his hand and gently hugged Kushina's head, pulling her over slowly, leaning on his arms, stroking her soft red hair-now this bright and vibrant color has already disappeared. It completely disappeared from Mito's body, turning into a color like snow, as if it was about to wither.

"Kushina, do you feel uneasy?" Mito said softly.

Kushina nodded silently in Mito's arms, buried her face in it, and said in a vague voice, "I don't want you to leave, Grandma Mito."

"Everyone is mortal, whether you are willing to accept it or not." Mito looked lovingly at Kushina in his arms, "In the past, I have seen too many people who didn't want them to leave, but still left Among them, there is my husband, Hokage Senju Hashirama. Back then, I was also sad, but I quickly cheered up, because what he left behind still needs my protection, just looking at this village, It's like he never left."

Kushina raised her head and looked at Mito's face blankly. She was still very young and lived in a peaceful era. She had never experienced the death of anyone close to her in her life—although her parents were in the vortex. Guowei died after the war, but she hadn't seen him for many years, and her relationship was a bit weak after all, because of the parent-child relationship, she would still be sad for it, but the shock it brought was far less than the fact that Mito was about to leave. After all, since she was three years old, the person who has been by her side is Mito.

"Jiushina, although we don't have a real parent-child relationship, in my heart, you are my daughter. Even if you die, there will always be something in you, and you can feel my existence from it." Mito said slowly, "Even after death, I will watch you in the pure land world and watch your future life."

"Grandma." Hearing Mito's comfort, Kushina felt that she wanted to cry more and more.

"Cry if you want to cry, but, Kushina, I hope you can live strong in the future, you are not a weak child." Mito gently wiped Kushina's face, "You want to be How about the Hokage girl, how can she be so devastated because of this little suffering?"

Kushina sniffed and nodded lightly to show that she knew. She continued to bury herself in Mito's arms and murmured, "Grandma, can I really subdue Kyuubi?"

"Surrender? You can't think that way." Mito smiled and shook his head, and said to her: "Kyuubi is not your enemy, it is just an innocent being used by us humans, and you will face difficulties together in the future Yes, you should treat it not as an enemy, but as a friend."

"Friend? For a monster?"

"How can it be called a monster? Let me ask you, Kushina, does Kyuubi have wisdom? Can it speak? Is there really a big gap between its thinking and ours?" Mito asked.

Jiu Xin Nai was speechless for a while, and after a while, she said cautiously: "According to what grandma said in the past, Kyuubi can talk, and the difference in thinking from ours is not too big, at most it is a difference in values. "

"Yeah, because Nine-Tails is an immortal life, it has lived on this continent since thousands of years ago, and the difference in values ​​is inevitable. However, in other respects, Nine-Tails is not very different from us. To put it simply, it does not look like a human being except for its larger size, and its other aspects are almost exactly the same as human beings." Mito said.

"Grandma means... let me face it like making friends with ordinary people?" Kushina said.

"Yes." Mito nodded calmly, "Kyuubi was bound into the human body because of our human disputes, and because of this incident, you were also borne a fate that you shouldn't have. You all share the same disease. Children, how can you hate each other at this time? You should learn to understand that the other person's experience is the same as yours, and your fate will be linked together in the future. You should be the one who should not be hostile."

Mito had said these words to Kyuubi in her body in the past, and now when she was planning to entrust Jinchuriki's fate to Kushina, she said the same words to her. Whether Kushina and Kyuubi will reconcile in the future, she doesn't know, but she sincerely hopes that these words of hers can play some guiding role in their reconciliation path, as long as it is so, she will be satisfied.

"Grandma, I'm still not sure if I can treat Kyuubi as a real person. However, since our fate is interdependent in the future, I will try my best to get along with it in a friendly way." Jiu Xin After a while, Nai said.

Mito smiled slightly, and sent a thoughtful greeting to the cage deep in the seal—did you hear that, Kyuubi, you two have to get along well in the future—from the very beginning, Mito relaxed the restrictions of the seal, allowing Kyuubi's mind can peek into the outside world, so he heard these words of Kushina.

In the cage of the seal, Nine Tails snorted softly. How could it forgive humans so easily? Back then, humans disregarded its wishes and sealed it into humans without authorization. Now it said such words, but I don’t know why, Nine Tails Tail gradually recalled the scene thousands of years ago.

At that time, after the Sage of the Six Paths completely entrusted Ninja to Asura, he divided the ten tails in his body into nine tailed beasts, and delivered the final wish to them, and then pulled out his body because of the tailed beasts, like an old man who was seriously ill. In bed, unable to move for several months, during that time, apart from family members, the only people who could talk to them were the tailed beasts.

"I am also a human being, and I like you very much. If you like me too, I hope you will love human beings in the same way in the future." The Immortal of the Six Paths said this to the tailed beasts when he was dying.

However, after several generations, Ninja gradually forgot the teachings of the Sages of the Six Paths, and gradually drifted away from the tailed beasts. The disappointed Nine Tails also chose to stay away from human society. As a result, some ignorant humans came to find the tailed beasts. Trouble, among them are the descendants of Liu Dao.

However, even among such human beings, there will be some people who are very similar to the Sage of the Six Paths, but in the millennium, such people are really too few, and when such human beings die, the tailed beasts will die Returning to the state where no one wants to get close again, but at least, during that time, the tailed beasts can feel the same happiness as when they were around the Sage of the Six Paths.

——Then, could this girl be that kind of person?

Kyuubi couldn't help thinking of this idea, but it couldn't be sure, it didn't know Kushina very well, and there were very few things that could be seen outside of Mito's body, and, just by appearance, it couldn't really recognize Kushina. If you know a person clearly, if you don't see a person's heart clearly, you won't get the tail beast's approval.

At this time, Mito said to Kushina: "As long as you have such a heart, then I will be at ease when I hand over Kyuubi to you." Then he smiled, and said: "Do you think Did the Sage of the Six Paths have the same thought when he divided the subdued beast with ten tails into tailed beasts?"

In the ninja literature found in Konoha Ninja Village, there is a record that the Six Paths Sage subdued the ten-tailed monster that caused chaos, and split into nine tailed beasts in his later years. From Mito's point of view, Sage of the Six Paths' actions are similar to her actions today, and they all have some kind of good wishes.

Kushina naturally read this story, and she didn't give a positive answer, but she seemed to have a little confidence in her heart about how to get along with Kyuubi in the future.

"Kushina, you should prepare well, without further ado, let's hold the Kyuubi's transfer ceremony tomorrow." Mito said.

"So fast?" Kushina was startled.

"The sooner the better, one day later, there may be problems with the transfer of Kyuubi." Mito slowly condensed the chakra in his body, and smiled, "The current physical condition is good, liberate Kyuubi and temporarily Suppressing and assisting the seal is still a bit sure. Don't be afraid, you won't die immediately after you release the seal. With the vitality of our Uzumaki family, even if you are pulled out of the tailed beast, you can survive for a while. Of course, you won't live for long .”

Mito's mind has been made up, and she has already looked down on life and death in her state of mind. Even if she understands that transferring the tailed beast will make her walk into death quickly, she has nothing to hesitate, and now is the time. So, in the next step, I will inform Zhuanzhu Xiaochun and Mito Menyan of the situation. Although they are not very comfortable, they still agree to the request to transfer Kyuubi. This is Mito's own will, not everyone Can be shaken.

The time is the second day. In a place known only to the relevant people, the ceremony about the transfer of Kyuubi will start here. From now on, Kushina will be the new Kyuubi Jinchuriki.
