I don't believe in the will of fire

As the cold kunai scratched his neck, blood overflowed like a gush of spring water. The wandering ninja with the treasonous forehead protector covered his neck, trying to make an unwilling sound, but in the end he could only shut up in despair.

On the eyes.

"Mission accomplished."

Uzumaki Shenyue looked at the corpses everywhere and the earth soaked in blood, and returned to his teacher and companions with a cold expression.

At this moment, their expressions were full of fear and consternation. They didn't understand why Uzumaki Shenyue, who had always been warm and sunny, suddenly turned into such a cruel and violent appearance.

As the leading jounin, Kanna Tetsuun frowned and looked at the disciple in front of him. He clearly felt that his disciple's mood was abnormal these days. Even though he knew that he might not get any answers, he still cared about him.

asked.

"Shenyue, are you okay?"

"I'm sorry, Teacher Tie Yun, for making you worry. There's nothing wrong anymore." Shenyue's tone was a little low, but he didn't explain much.

Tie Yun didn't ask any more questions. As a Jonin, he knew some information that ordinary people in the village didn't know. Naturally, he also understood what this child who looked like he was only eleven years old was carrying.

"Okay, pack up and let's go back to the village. After this mission is completed, everyone can rest for a few more days."

Under the cover of night, four figures moved quickly in the direction of Konoha in the dense jungle.

"Hey, Shenyue, are you really okay?"

Naoki turned his head and looked at Uzumaki Shenyue who was following them and asked with concern. Just now Shenyue's violent look scared him, but now that he has calmed down, he still came over to express his warm-heartedness.

own concerns.

"It's nothing. Maybe it's because I've been a little lost on the road of life recently, so I'm in a bad mood."

Shenyue simply replied. His eyes also regained some warmth and were no longer as cold as before, which made Shengshu feel much more relaxed.

"Are you lost? I don't understand!" Senju Nōki, who had just become a genin, had a noble status and had not experienced much of the cruel reality of the ninja world. Like Naruto Uzumaki decades later, he still looked mindless.

It seems, but he also has his own unique way of solving problems.

"I don't understand much, but when I get back, I'll treat you to a barbecue. After eating the barbecue, you will forget all the unhappy things."

If it were the past, Shenyue would definitely agree without hesitation, but at this moment, he said.

"Let's talk about it after we return to the village."

Shengshu thought Shenyue had agreed.

"Then it's settled..."

Konoha, Hokage Tower

Hiruzen Sarutobi was wearing a Hokage robe, sitting at his desk, holding a pipe in his mouth, puffing away smoke. On his left was Danzo, and on his right were Konoha's two great advisors, Mito Kado and Enou.

I went to bed in Xiaochun, and there was no one else there.

At this moment, they gathered together to discuss the matter of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

Three days ago, under the protection of secrets, Konoha's Nine-Tails successfully transferred the jinchuriki. The Nine-Tails was transferred and sealed from Uzumaki Mito, the wife of the first Hokage, to Uzumaki Kushina, who is also a member of the Uzumaki clan.

On the body.

"How is Kushina's health now?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

"The situation is very good. Although Kushina is only a child, she has the same physique as Mito-sama and can suppress the Uzumaki clan of tailed beasts. I think she will be able to fully recover in a few days."

The person who answered him was Koharu Koharu, who was responsible for the entire transfer of the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.

"Yes." Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to relax and said: "I still don't dare to be careless. Next, I will let the ANBU ninjas protect her 24 hours a day."

"This is best."

"Is there anything else? If not, let's go down and rest. We have worked hard these days."

The transfer of the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is a top priority for Konoha. In order to ensure a safe and smooth transition, everyone present has not had a good rest in the past few days.

"Then I'll take my leave."

It turned clear that Koharu was concerned about Kushina's physical condition, and left directly with Suimen Yan after saying goodbye. At this moment, he and Danzo were the only ones left in the Hokage Tower.

"Is there anything else, Danzo?"

Even though he knew what Danzo wanted to say, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still a little helpless, but he had already made a decision in his heart. It was absolutely impossible to hand over the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails to the Nebe.

But Danzo said as if he had expected it: "Don't worry, Sarutobi, I didn't stay here to argue with you about the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki."

"oh!?"

This actually surprised Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Danzo, who was confident of winning, said another thing that surprised Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"This time, I am doing it for the child named Uzumaki Kamizuki."

Uzumaki Divine Moon!

This name suddenly brought Sarutobi Hiruzen's memory back to six years ago. At that time, not long after he became the third Hokage of Konoha, the problem of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki became the first thing he had to face after becoming Hokage.

things.

The first generation of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Uzumaki Mito, had begun to age at that time and was unable to suppress the Nine-Tails Chakra in his body. As the next Jinchuuriki, Uzumaki Kushina was brought to Konoha like this.

However, in the following days, Konoha's top management discovered that Uzumaki Kushina's mood was very unstable, perhaps because she arrived in a foreign country alone and was a woman.

This caused Konoha's top brass, including Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, to consider whether Uzumaki Kushina could take on the responsibility of the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.

Therefore, in this context, just in case, Sarutobi Hiruzen sent ANBU ninjas to pick up this boy named Uzumaki Kamizuki from the Kingdom of Uzumaki, as a substitute in case of Uzumaki Kushina's failure.

.

What everyone didn't expect was that Uzumaki Kamizuki, who came to Konoha Village, showed extremely high ninja talent. In just one year, he broke Konoha Village's ninja record and passed the examination at the age of seven.

He became a genin, and only one year later, he passed the chunin exam.

As a miracle in Konoha Village at that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen personally witnessed the Chunin Examination of Uzumaki Kamizuki. In that battle, the child who was only eight years old used incredible strength to overwhelmingly defeat the arrangement.

Chuunin examiner, which surprised everyone.

But this is not a good thing for Konoha, because what they need is an obedient Jinchuuriki, not a ninja who is powerful and difficult to control.

So, from that time on, they began to suppress the child intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course they succeeded. Now three years have passed. The glory of Uzumaki Kamizuki as a genius ninja has gradually disappeared, and his strength has stagnated. He is sent out to perform some insignificant tasks every day.

In addition, after Kushina met Namikaze Minato in Konoha Village, her mood gradually stabilized and her recognition of the village became higher and higher, Uzumaki Kamizuki has begun to become dispensable, and slowly

No one remembers his existence anymore.

Unexpectedly, Danzo suddenly brought it up today.

"Why are you mentioning this child?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with some confusion.

"Since the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is no longer a problem, then leave that child to me. It would be a pity to have such a ninja talent wasted. I will train him to be a ninja who is loyal to the village."

Danzo's words made Sarutobi Hiruzen deep in thought for a moment...
