Shadow Stream of Leaf

After a brief exchange with Uzumaki Mito and confirming that her condition is still stable, Hanyu left here and went to meet the Third Hokage.

Can't you really ignore Hokage and not report it after returning to the village?

After seeing Hokage, on the one hand, Hanyu made a summary report on the war on the Eastern Front that was temporarily over, and on the other hand, he asked Hokage about his next arrangements.

The answer was that Hanyu would stay in Konoha until things with Kyuubi settled down again.

Although if he puts his combat power on the western front, it may make the advantage of the war fall to Konoha, but considering the quagmire of the western front, it is difficult to change completely because of the joining of a ninja..." "Artistic attack" requires intelligence support and the tacit cooperation of the enemy's "intimate" to be effective. Unless you steal the house, the fireworks are not so easy to set off.

And the current melee can be regarded as a kind of "balance" in a sense. It is neither easy to be broken, nor is it easy to predict what consequences will be caused if it is broken.

Well, this arrangement definitely has nothing to do with Hanyu's strategic incompatibility with the village's style of conduct... The controller of the western front is Shimura Danzo, and Hanyu must not be able to rest assured that he is under the control of the other party. Similarly, for Danzo, he also lacks the means to restrain Hanyu. A subordinate with a particularly active mind and always has his own ideas is not a good subordinate.

So if the Third Hokage did not plan to change the commander of the Western Front, then Hanyu would basically not be assigned to the Konoha War System in the Land of the Rain - there is no place for him at all.

Moreover, the more it is during the war, the more important the stability of Konoha's basic disk is. At this time, there must be no problems with Nine Tails... The consequences of problems with Tailed Beasts have been fully demonstrated by Kirigakure.

Hanyu is in Konoha, which is a layer of guarantee to avoid problems with Kyuubi as much as possible.

All these measures show one thing, that is, the time for Uzumaki Mito is running out.

This is the fate of Jinchuriki. It is almost impossible for them to die. Although Uzumaki Mito's natural lifespan is still sufficient, separating Kyuubi must be something before she reaches the end of her lifespan.

This is something Uzumaki Mito has known and accepted for a long time, so until now, she just faces all this calmly.

The only regret she felt was that she had to pass on this bleak fate, and through her own hands, let the best Uzumaki clansman handpicked by her take on everything that the other party should not have endured.

The black cat left from Uzumaki Mito, and ran into the woodland on the west side in two or three steps. Not long after, when it reappeared, there was already someone behind it... That was after a day of studying at the ninja school The return of Uzumaki Kushina.

Every time after school and before going home, she would definitely come to Uzumaki Mito, and sometimes she would go to Kageriu, but that was after meeting Mito first.

As the next candidate for Jinjuriki, she has a lot to learn, and quite a few of them must be learned as soon as possible.

"Mito-sama, Hanyu-sama is back?"

Uzumaki Kushina walked to Uzumaki Mito, and then asked like this, obviously a feline animal had already revealed this to her.

"Yes, he has just returned, and he will be staying in the village for a considerable period of time."

"Is the war over?"

Kushina's face was filled with joy, if Hanyu, the commander, returned like this and never left again, it could only mean that the war was over.

Because of the outbreak of the war, she has not been as carefree as before, and the good life of eating, sleeping and beating her classmates is gone forever... Although there are many things that children of her age can't understand at all, the adults around her Her emotions and the atmosphere of Konoha are still subtly infecting her.

Can she know that war means death, but what is death? What does it mean?

Kushina understands some things, but she still doesn't understand more things.

She walked into the house, found a shower pot, and then prepared to help those potted plants that were moved from the yard where Mizuto Uzumaki lived. In the past, she helped Mito and the two took care of these plants together, but now it has become her own business.

"The war is still going on. It can only be said that a relatively small part, or the part of the war that should not have erupted, has subsided." Uzumaki Mito said, shaking his head.

Uzumaki Mito couldn't see where the focus of the war was.

"Then...why did Master Hanyu return to the village?"

"For my business, of course, it is also for your business."

Uzumaki Kushina is the next Jinchuriki, so at this time Uzumaki Mito has already said something to her, "Xiao Kushina, remember what I told you before, I carry a kind of 'Disaster', for the sake of the village and the people, it must be suppressed by people like me. However, life has a limit, and I am almost at the limit. The task of suppressing it can only be handed over to others... …

That's why I chose you. Even among the Uzumaki clan, you are the most special type of person, special... talented. "

This is not a lucky thing, capable people will carry more things, some of which are carried by themselves, and some are forced on them by others when they have no choice... Strictly speaking, Kushina is the latter.

"Mito-sama... I'm just worried about whether I can do it. I'm not such a powerful person as Mito-sama."

Uzumaki Kushina naturally remembered what Mito had said to her. She didn't know what the so-called disaster was, and she didn't realize what the consequences of undertaking it were. "Good job, do you have the ability to do this kind of thing.

"You can definitely do it, Xiao Kushina, you are my chosen one, and you will become a ninja stronger than me in the future."

Kushina laughed at Uzumaki Mito's warm words, even though it was mostly comforting.

"If this is the case, what I can do to help Mito-sama, the tribe, and the village is what I am willing to do."

That's what little Kushina is willing to do.

"I hope to become a powerful ninja under Mito-sama's expectations."

Uzumaki Mito was slightly stunned. At this moment, it seemed that some memories and figures overlapped with Uzumaki Kushina in her eyes, so she finally showed a faint smile.

"Well, I'm sure I can see it."

It was something she certainly couldn't see.

"However, it's not yet now. Time will move forward slowly, and I will go forward step by step until...the time comes when I must hand over the responsibility to you."

No one knows the weight of the things on her body better than Uzumaki Mito, so as long as she persists for a while, the little person in front of her will feel it one day later.

It is something that has nothing to do with all goodness.

Fighting is something that will accompany a ninja's life, and this kind of fighting is not necessarily on the battlefield, let alone full of blood.

The lives of ninjas are as fragile, they can die very easily, so the way of death is very important.

And the belief that a ninja upholds is that even when death comes, it should not end.

In this world, there is not only one ninja with faith.
