Chapter 83 The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.
"grandmother."
Uzumaki Kushina knelt beside Uzumaki Mito, two lines of tears flowing out of her eyes. She also possessed Kagura's mind eyes, so she could naturally feel that her grandmother was not lying. Her body was already on the verge of collapse, and now she was relying on the powerful chakra to maintain her life.
However, even though she knew it, how could she not cry when she knew that the woman in front of her might be her real blood relative in this world?
"Come on, give me your hands."
Once again, Li Zhongren was held by Uzumaki Mito's warm big hand.
Then the scene before their eyes changed, and they seemed to have come to another world.
There were bamboo forests all around, and in the middle of the bamboo forest, there was a huge cage that seemed to be made of wood. The cage was covered with various Uzumaki clan characters that Li Zhongren did not recognize. Inside the cage was a giant fox tied up like a dumpling with diamond chains.
Obviously, this is the tailed beast, the nine-tailed demon fox.
"Old woman, you are finally going to die, hahahaha."
Seeing Uzumaki Mito bringing two people to the bamboo forest, the gloomy voice of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox slowly sounded, even with a hint of excitement in it.
This is easy to understand. In the original work, the so-called perfect jinchūriki means that the tailed beast is willing to cooperate with you. But to put it bluntly, you are not strong enough. When did you hear that Uchiha Madara needs the recognition of the Nine-Tails?
Don't you see, 'Uchiha Jusou Tsuchi' worked diligently for 700 episodes to catch the tailed beasts, but in vain, while Uchiha Madara only took ten seconds, and the same thing happened to Uzumaki Mito, it would be strange if the nine-tailed demon fox didn't hate him.
"Kushina, it is the tailed beast, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, and it is also the last barrier to protect Konoha. Now I will transfer it to you."
Uzumaki Mito didn't even look at the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, nor did he pay attention to its words, but just continued talking to himself.
"You only need to remember one thing: don't believe anything it says. If it doesn't listen, tighten the diamond chain."
"You old woman!! I'm going to kill you!!!"
"Wow, wow, wow."
The nine-tailed fox struggled for a while, and then Uzumaki Mito gently waved the chain, which slowly shrank, and the nine-tailed fox instantly lost its ability to move.
"like this."
"Oh"
Uzumaki Kushina nodded.
"Snapped!"
Upon seeing this, Uzumaki Mito stopped talking, clapped his hands together, and made the familiar Si Seal again. Then, a force twelve gale seemed to sweep through the space, blowing so hard that Li Zhongren could hardly open his eyes. Slowly, the wind kept shrinking, tightly wrapping the Nine-tailed Fox in it. Then, it was like a melted wax figure, being blown away by the wind, and even dyeing the invisible and colorless wind a fiery red.
"seal up!!"
Then, Uzumaki Mito waved his hand, and the diamond chain that originally bound the Nine-tailed Demon Fox began to spin along with the tornado, winding and flying towards Uzumaki Kushina, completely enveloping her.
"Sanye, come here."
Li Zhongren blinked his eyes, and the surroundings seemed to return to the real world. Uzumaki Kushina was already lying on the ground, asleep, and Uzumaki Mito's face became paler and paler, but perhaps because of the telekinesis provided by Li the pirate, she still maintained the appearance of her youth.
"grandmother."
Li Zhongren walked over and slowly sat next to her.
"Grandma, if you have any instructions, just tell me."
"this is for you"
Uzumaki Mito raised her hand, and a ball of chakra gathered in her hand.
"Don't blame me, an old woman, for secretly studying you. After all, my granddaughter is to be handed over to you."
"what?"
"Your Wood Release has a special property that even Hashirama has never had. It is a magical ability to devour and then absorb. If Tobirama were still alive, he might be able to conduct in-depth research, but it is enough for now. Inside, I recorded the breath of that strange creature. After you devour it with your Wood Release, you will be able to sense the existence of that strange creature when it approaches your Wood Release range again."
"Grandma, I will protect Kushina."
"Good boy."
Uzumaki Mito smiled and nodded. This was the advantage of talking to a smart person. It could save a lot of words. She was about to die, and she left a legacy to Kushina, which would allow her to gain a foothold in Konoha, but it was just a foothold. At the moment, she could not control the Nine-tailed Demon Fox as easily as herself.
The other part, this breath, was given to Sanye, and Sanye was the only one in the world who could discover that kind of creature. Even though the little monkey was angry that he no longer believed in him and that Sanye no longer followed him, as long as he had this ability, he could only hold his nose and ensure Sanye's safety.
As for the death of her son, death is death. Her own son also died. Who did she cry to?
People do change as time goes by.
This is what Tobirama said to herself. At first, she didn't believe it, but now, she has to believe it. She hasn't died yet, but Konoha already makes her feel a little strange...
"Sanye, you always say that your goal is to live freely, so do you have a definition of freedom?" "If you don't want to do something, then don't do it."
“Very philosophical.”
Hearing this, Uzumaki Mito nodded.
"So, you're willing to help the monkey."
"Well, although the Sandaime is more of a politician than a Hokage, he also has a sense of the overall situation. I agree with his theory of centralizing power in Hokage. It's like a clenched fist that can definitely cause more damage than a slap."
"But in the end, you seemed to betray him again. You chose me."
"Grandma, what are you talking about? I was trying to take care of you, so I had to reluctantly refuse the Sandaime's order. If I left Kushina and ran away with you, that would be heartbreaking. Who would dare to trust a man who could abandon his family?"
"Slippery tongue, don't worry, the monkey is not here."
"The Sandaime has somewhat forgotten his original intention."
After pondering for a moment, Li Zhongren spoke.
"In fact, it's not that he has forgotten his original intention, but it's the inevitable path he has chosen. It's similar to the family empire of the Cloud Ninja, where the father dies and the son inherits. The advantage is the issue of inheritance. Those who follow them can gain more benefits. But the problem is that the Sandaime seems to have overlooked one thing. Once a strong man like the Shodaime or the Nidaime appears among the ninja, his set of ideas will collapse instantly. In order to avoid such a thing from happening."
“He will target those who have potential”
Uzumaki Mito said calmly.
"The current Sandaime won't do that, because he is at the peak of his powers, but it's hard to say what will happen in ten or eight years."
"Then why are you still willing to help him?"
"this."
Li Zhongren scratched his hair and said, "I can't tell you that his eldest son will die, his second son is useless, and his grandson is even more hopeless. He will eventually be killed by his favorite disciple. If I help him now, it's actually the same as helping myself."
"You always say that your wish is to live freely like your name."
Uzumaki Mito took Li Zhongren's hand and patted the back of his hand gently.
"Ordinary people can only hear beauty and laziness from it, but behind freedom is blood. I guess your ultimate goal is to replace the monkey. In a sense, your parents also died at the hands of Konoha."
"No, Grandma."
"Oh? Grandma, am I only half right? You actually want Minato Namikaze to be the Hokage and suffer so that you can hide behind him and enjoy life? Ha, that's an interesting idea."
"Grandma, you."
"Haha."
Uzumaki Mito patted Li Zhongren on the head.
"Kushina's Kagura Heart Eye has her own special ability. I, grandma, have it too."
"what"
"I ask a question, and you can only remain silent or answer. No matter what your answer is, as long as you answer, I can hear the answer I want."
Li Zhongren blinked his eyes, looking at the woman in front of him who still had a bit of playfulness on her face. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. The ancients were honest and sincere, so it was no wonder that Uchiha Madara remained silent.
"Mitsuha, promise grandma that you will make Konoha a good place. It is Hashirama's lifelong dream, okay?"
"Okay, grandma, I promise you."
"good boy"
Uzumaki Mito coughed, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
"I have a property in the Land of Whirlpools. I originally wanted to leave it to little Tsunade, but she is just like her grandfather. So, I'll give it to you. It's here..."
"Hashirama.?"
Uzumaki Mito's eyes were a little dazed. She seemed to see Senju Hashirama reaching out his hand to her.
