"Kushina, don't get excited. I can assure you that no one will take action against Bai Yu. This matter itself is a misunderstanding. I brought people here just because I was afraid that you would be in danger and to prevent Nine Tails from losing control. The root of the ninja I acted without permission, without my knowledge." Sarutobi Hiruzen explained solemnly.
Although he was prepared for the worst, as the Hokage, he couldn't control the ninja at his core, so he would definitely not touch this pot.
It's unmistakable, the chakra on Kushina's body that looks like a golden coat is exactly Mito-sama's 'Nine-Tails Chakra Mode'.
This is a secret technique developed by Mito-sama specifically to use the Nine-Tails Chakra.
Even if the Jinchuuriki is not connected with the Kyuubi's mind, he can still forcibly seize the Kyuubi's chakra for his own use.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has only seen Mito use the 'Nine-Tails Chakra Mode' once. In this state, the ninja's speed, strength, and defense will be improved in all aspects.
It can be said that even if he is still at the end of his peak period, he does not have much chance of winning against the current Kushina.
Of course, there is no need to fight per se.
Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen expected Kushina to be able to stabilize the Nine-Tails and prevent the Nine-Tails from causing chaos. He did not expect that she would be able to use the Nine-Tails chakra mode at this age.
And Kushina seemed to have mentioned Kyuubi just now.
Could it be that she actually convinced Kyuubi to have the same mind as the tailed beast?
This is unlikely.
The undercurrent of the ninja world is surging and the situation is uncertain. Now Kushina has successfully learned the nine-tails chakra mode. With a little familiarity, she can become the top shadow-level powerhouse in the ninja world.
This is the best news for Konoha, which just lost Sakumo, a top powerhouse, last year.
Although Kushina's kidnapping last time and the conflict with Bai Yu this time have caused cracks in the relationship between the two parties, there is no conflict of principle and the relationship can be repaired.
He asked himself whether it was against Kushina or Bai Yu, it was not bad.
There is absolutely room for change.
"Of course I also believe in the Third Generation, but I'm afraid some people don't think so..." Kushina had no intention of deepening the conflict and gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a step down.
"Don't worry, the root ninja acted without permission this time. I believe Danzo was also unaware of it. I will explain the situation to everyone afterwards."
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately gave his assurance.
Kushina looked at the death mask in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand and said: "Speaking of which, I really have to thank the Third Generation! You actually care about me so much, are you afraid that I am in danger, so you brought so many jonin to protect me? "
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked slightly embarrassed, and his right hand holding the Death Mask subconsciously shrank back.
Kushina smiled slightly, with an expression of admiration on her face: "Sandaime-sama, you are truly the greatest ninja in the village. You have even learned the Uzumaki clan's 'Sealing the Ghost'. Are you preparing to lose control of the Nine-Tails?" When the time comes, will you use this forbidden technique to die with it?"
"This..." Sarutobi Hiruzen's face twitched slightly. In the past, Kushina would not speak to him in this tone. Just relying on his face as Hokage for decades, he quickly completed the expression management at this time, nodded and said:
"I have this plan when necessary. It's great that you are safe and sound! This death mask originally belonged to the Uzumaki clan, and now it has been returned to its original place."
After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen threw the death mask in his hand towards Kushina.
He had just learned how to seal off the corpses, and he needed the Death Mask to ensure the perfect release of the technique.
Now that Kushina is fine, there is no need for the back-up of the zombie seal.
After all, no one wants to die if they are living well.
In the later period of his administration, something like Sakumo happened, which was a stain in itself. From now on, stability will definitely be the priority.
Today's events made him aware of some problems.
Kushina and Bai Yu had become so powerful under his eyes, but he had no idea.
Until the moment before, he had only regarded Kushina as a jinchuriki with normal talents, as long as he stayed in the village normally and didn't cause any trouble.
To him, Bai Yu was an excellent medical ninja with mediocre strength but achievements in medical ninjutsu.
However, whether it was Bai Yu or Kushina, both of them actually hid their strength.
Thinking of Bai Yu's previous performance in the Shuomao incident and his attitude towards everyone just now...
Was he always pretending before?
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel terrible about the depth of Bai Yu's scheming.
It's just that Kushina's relationship with Bai Yu is so close now, so she can only be wary of Bai Yu and try not to offend her.
Fortunately, Orochimaru and Tsunade were there to ease the relationship.
In just a few breaths, Sarutobi Hiruzen already had a countermeasure in mind.
"Then I would like to thank the Third Generation." Kushina kept a smile on her face, but she was obviously not good at pretending, and her smile seemed perfunctory and polite.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and said seriously to the jounin behind him:
"What happened here today will be classified as the village's top secret. No one is allowed to leak it, otherwise he will be punished for treason."
"Yes!" The Jonin in the field naturally did not dare to disobey.
Just kidding, with the strength Kushina showed, if anyone dared to offend her, she would probably turn Konoha upside down.
If they remember correctly, Kushina is only 18 years old this year and is only a genin, but she has strength that jounin like them cannot have even after 100 years of hard training.
The gap between people is sometimes wider than the gap between people and dogs.
"By the way, Lord III, there is something I almost forgot to tell you. Lord Mito told me that I can now take back the Uzumaki industry in the Fire City. Thanks to the village helping me take care of these properties over the years."
Kushina reminded.
Sarutobi Hiruzen twitched his face. This time, his income was reduced by more than 100 million taels a year. It was a huge blow to the finances of the Sarutobi clan, and they instantly fell back from affluence to a well-off stage.
But in this situation, no matter from any angle, he couldn't say "no". He could only smile and said: "Since you have become an adult, the village will naturally return the property to you."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Sandai. I believe you will take good care of my property, right?"
"Yes Yes."
"Pfft!" Bai Yu looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression and couldn't hold it back anymore, so he laughed out loud. But he reacted immediately and smiled at Kushina: "Now I can have hundreds of millions more experimental funds every year. It's really a happy thing."
"Who said I would give it to you!" Kushina said angrily, and then looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "By the way, Third Generation, my home is destroyed and I have no place to live now. Can I go to Bai Yu's house to borrow a house? a period of time?"
"This... you are a member of Konoha, and you are free to live wherever you want." Hiruzen Sarutobi twitched the corner of his mouth, and Kushina looked like he was going to break up with Konoha for Bai Yu, and asked him if he could I can't go to Bai Yu's house to stay for a while.
With the relationship between the two of them, it would be difficult to end it without getting married.
"Kushina, if you want to live in my house, shouldn't you ask me, the master?"
Bai Yu on the side joked.
"Humph!" Kushina snorted, and in a flash, she appeared behind Bai Yu, hugged his neck forcefully, and rode on his back: "I'm going to live at your house, and you still have to carry me I just have to go back!"
Seeing the two of them starting to 'spread dog food' as if no one was around, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand towards the people behind him: "Let's all disperse."
The crowd began to disperse.
Namikaze Minato took a deep look at Kushina, who was smiling like a flower on Bai Yu's back, and resolutely turned around and left.
The three root ninjas carried the captain's cold body and left dejectedly, not daring to mention the matter at all.
Watching everyone leave, the golden chakra coat on Kushina's body gradually dissipated, and at the same time she whispered in Bai Yu's ear: "Bai Yu, hold me tight, don't let me down, I can't stand still."
Hearing Kushina's weak voice, Bai Yu's eyes changed slightly and asked softly:
"What's wrong? Could it be that you were injured by using the chakra of the Nine-Tails just now?"
With that said, Bai Yu held Kushina's buttocks firmly with both hands and sent the Yang Release Chakra into her body. He found that some of the meridians in her body were damaged, but fortunately it was not serious.
"Ku Lama's chakra is too powerful! My body can't fully adapt to it for a while, and the forceful use of the tailed beast jade consumed too much chakra, and the conversation lasted too long. I feel so tired now. "Kushina buried her head in Bai Yu's neck.
"Let's go home right away and I'll help you treat it."
"Well, I should be able to recover after a nap."
Kushina nodded obediently.
"Then sit tight! The Baiyu Speed Car is about to sprint! Buzz -" Bai Yu ran towards home like a childish ghost. When running, he gathered chakra on the soles of his feet to prevent bumps, and at the same time, he imitated in his nasal cavity The sound of driving on the highway.
It's a pity that there are no cars or highways in this world, so there is no way to race.
"Why is the cart so weird? Shouldn't it be pulled by a horse or a donkey? You should learn to bray like a donkey." Although Kushina was very tired, she still joked with Bai Yu and stretched out her hand to grab his Lift the ears upward.
Bai Yu cooperated very well and imitated the donkey's braying: "Ang——! Donkey father and donkey mother are home!"
"Disgusting~!"
