The strongest human of Konoha

Chapter 40 Doubt
"The Land of Rain! I went there a long time ago, and it felt like it was always raining. I was thinking, won't this country be flooded?" The old man raised his head, his gray hair was blown by the wind. As the blow fluttered, the scorching crimson that showed the vitality of the Uzumaki clan dissipated.

"...that country has been at war all the time, with the Land of Earth, with the Land of Taki, with the Land of Grass, with the Land of Wind, and with us, the Land of Fire, even among themselves. Fighting from time to time, it can be said that it is the most chaotic place in the ninja world."

"It feels like... the same as in the previous Warring States period. There are wars everywhere, and people die every day. There are five brothers and sisters between me and your great-grandfather. Your great-grandfather is the youngest, and I am ranked fourth. There are three more people above us. My brother, they all died outside in battle, they were still smiling when they went out in the morning, but when they came back... they were mutilated corpses."

The old man held the hands of Kushina and Otome, his eyes were blurred, as if he had lost focus, and there was a slight sadness in the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

The years are really ruthless, but the sorrow that once penetrated into the bone marrow has become so dull now!

"Later... I left the family and married into the Senju family, and then Hashirama and Madara established Konoha..." The old man looked away and looked at the people sitting on the left and right. Two girls, "Do you know Madara? Uchiha Madara."

"Well, I know." Kushina nodded.

"Uchiha, are you from our clan?" Otome looked at Kushina blankly.

The old man was not surprised when he saw this, he just let out a long sigh.

Uchiha Madara's betrayal back then was not an honorable thing for Konoha or the Uchiha clan. Over the years, he has tried his best to downplay the name Uchiha Madara, and few people in the younger generation know about Madara's existence.

On the other hand, when Kushina was in Uzushio Village, he studied the history of the ninja world organized by the Uzumaki clan. Although it is not so complete and detailed, it is still a little more than the castrated version in Konoha Ninja School. Some major events between Tezhuma and Uchiha Madara are still recorded.

"Blade... is a genius, this is what Hashirama said personally, but it is a pity that his temper is too extreme, and finally made a mistake... It should run counter to the original wish The road." Mito looked down at Kushina, with bright eyes, a delicate face like a flower, and the bright red hair that was just like a rosy glow.

How young!
"Kushina, do you like Konoha?"

"I like it. There are Guanyue, Otome, you, classmates from the school, and many other people who I value."

Jiu Xinnai's almond eyes were clear, and every word contained the most sincere feelings.

"Good boy..." Mito sighed, then stared at Kushina closely, and said in a faint voice that Kushina could hear: "Come and see me at night, there is something very important I have something important to tell you."

Otome sat on the side, still pondering the name Uchiha Madara, completely oblivious to Mito and Kushina's whispers.

······
"Sarutobi, get ready and transfer Kyuubi as soon as possible." Mito said calmly.

"Have you decided on a good candidate?"

Sarutobi sat on the chair next to him, looked at the old Mito, and sighed secretly, this day has finally come!
"Well, I will have a talk with that child tonight. You should start preparing first, and get rid of all hidden dangers. Nine-tails switching containers may be very unstable. Even if you are a Uzumaki clan, you are still a child after all. The power of Nine Tails is not so easy to bear, we must prepare for the worst."

"I understand that these will be ready today." Sarutobi nodded with a serious expression. He has seen the destructive power of Kyuubi with his own eyes. If there is any accident during the container conversion process, it will be very serious. tricky.

He has already begun to think about moving the venue of the ceremony to outside the village, so that even if the worst happens, the loss can be minimized. It is a pity that Sakumo must be on the front line to watch Hanzo now, otherwise Sakumo would be at least in charge. It's half easy.

"As soon as possible, it's almost night now, maybe tomorrow is my return date."

The overhead light has been turned on, illuminating the entire room with a soft and bright light.

Sarutobi nodded, Mito's words gave him a sense of urgency, but fortunately, he has been preparing for this matter all this time, and Anbu under him is already ready to go.

After talking for a few words, Sheng Shu walked in.

"Grandma, Kushina is here."

His voice was choked with sobs, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red. Sarutobi felt rather sad when he saw this, and he couldn't help but feel sad. If Mito really left, the group of people who symbolized the beginning of Konoha would be gone. Completely withered and clean.

"Let her come in, Sarutobi, you go first, I will talk to that child alone." Mito waved Sarutobi back, not even Rope Tree stayed behind.

Kushina walked quietly on the wooden corridor with equal-spaced steps.

"Aunt and grandma, here I come."

······
"Tu Dun, rock stealing stick."

Vortex home, backyard, training ground.

The rock sticks stand upright, even if the sun is falling and the sky is dark, he is still a tireless practitioner. The rock stealing stick is a very simple C-level ninjutsu. Under Sakumo's guidance, he has already started. However, in the past few days after returning to Konoha, apart from the training courses in the past, he has devoted all his attention to this C-level earth escape technique.

Too much to chew.

It's a very simple truth, but it's often easier said than done, and there are very few people who can resist the greater temptation and persevere.

Guanyue suppressed his desire to learn new ninjutsu after several ideological struggles. He kept in mind Sakumo's warning that he would not be able to learn the next ninjutsu on the scroll until he was proficient in playing the rock stick. surgical.

They have been practicing at home for two days. Anyway, no one has urged them to go to class. War is the main theme among high-level people nowadays. Even if they maintain an absolute advantage, they still have to be careless. Hokage, who cares about the education of Ninja School, is also busy with more important things.

"Sister Kushina."

The girl's delicate voice sounded in the front yard.

Soon, Otome appeared on the edge of the training ground with her head poking around.

"Guanyue, isn't Sister Jiuxinna here?" Looking at Guanyue who was practicing in the dark, the girl was speechless.

The night is getting darker, only the dim light from the street lamps outside the yard, and the high and low rock pillars are dense like a forest, drawing long dark shadows in the yard, which is quite gloomy.

"Watching the moon?"

Otome stood in the corridor and didn't dare to go down. She just yelled bravely, and then her eyes wandered around, catching the trace of Guanyue.

"My sister is not here, didn't she say to find you?"
