"Protect the village for you?" Kushina's eyes were red, and she was stunned. Is this what Grandma Mito asked before she died? "Why, you don't want to?" Seeing the hesitation in Kushina's eyes, Mito said with a weak and trembling voice. Kushina shook her head repeatedly, looked at Mito, and said, "I want to, but how can I compare with you, and how can I replace you?" Kushina has been exposed to the legend of Uzumaki Mito since she was a child. Although she is young, she knows herself. She can't be compared with the legendary female ninja of the Uzumaki clan in front of her.
After getting Kushina's answer, Mito's tense face relaxed, and she chuckled, "If I say you can do it, you will definitely be able to do it. After all, you are a disciple of Uzumaki Mito." Kushina raised her eyebrows. She never realized that Grandma Mito actually recognized her so much. "In just half a year, you have almost mastered all the Fuinjutsu of the Uzumaki clan.
Although there is still a lot of gap, this kind of achievement is far from being achieved even when I was your age." Mito smiled. She was called the Uzumaki clan's wonder girl back then. She learned many Fuinjutsu that even the clan leader had mastered thoroughly. However, she was self-taught at that time, while Kushina had her training. Even so, it was enough to show Kushina's talent in Fuinjutsu.
"Can I really do it?" Kushina asked herself, muttering. Mito smiled and nodded, her movements were extremely reluctant. "Then please tell me, what should I do?" Kushina's eyes became firm. Even if Mito didn't say it, she would protect Konoha. Because here, there are people she loves deeply. Mito smiled, then turned her head, looked at the Third Hokage and said, "Hiruzen, you all go out first, I have something to say to this child." The Third Hokage nodded, Danzo stared at Kushina with a gloomy look, and at the same time, the Third Hokage's eyes were cast over. Everyone left Mito's room.
"Kushina, do you remember what I told you before, the battle between the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara?" Mito said. Kushina nodded. The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and Uchiha Madara, his best friend who betrayed Konoha at the time and one of the founders of Konoha, fought a world-shaking battle somewhere. Many people know this, but few people in the world know the details. Mito in front of her is one of them. "In that battle, Uchiha Madara controlled a monster called the Nine-Tails to fight the First Hokage. Even as powerful as the First Hokage was, he used all his means to kill Uchiha Madara in the Valley of the End."
"One of the reasons why the First Hokage was in a difficult battle was the monster called the Nine-Tails. It has extremely terrible power. Only Madara, who has the highest dojutsu power of the Uchiha clan, can control it. And its power is so strong that even the First Hokage couldn't deal with it." Mito said solemnly. Kushina's face changed slightly, and she said, "Is that monster really that scary? Even a ninja like the First Hokage..." Although she had never seen the First Hokage's strength, the title of the God of Ninja was enough to give her a glimpse of it.
"The scary thing about the Nine-Tails is that it has an extremely large amount of chakra, and it will never die because unlike humans, it is just a collection of chakra. Even if it is killed, it will still be resurrected after a period of time."
"So, even if it can be killed by conventional means, there is no way to prevent its resurrection." These are all secrets that Kushina didn't know. Regarding the matter of the tailed beasts, the five major ninja countries are all the same secrets. "Did the First Hokage kill the Nine-Tails? Is it resurrected now?" Kushina asked.
Mito shook her head and said, "In addition to the Nine-Tails, the First Hokage also had to deal with Uchiha Madara, who was an equally powerful ninja. Dealing with them at the same time was already his limit." Kushina nodded. "How did the First Hokage win that battle?" Mito chuckled, and then said: "In order to help him win that battle, I sealed the Nine-Tails in my body!"
What she said made Kushina's pupils shrink. "Are you saying that the legendary monster Nine-Tails is now in your body?" "Yes, with your current state, you should be able to sense it." Mito said, staring at Kushina. Kushina was subconsciously stunned and involuntarily focused her attention on Mito. "Ah!" An indescribably cold chakra appeared in her sensor, causing Kushina to scream subconsciously. She couldn't describe what it felt like. Just touching it made her uncomfortable. "Is this the power of the Nine-Tails?"
With Kushina's current state, there was no way to estimate how powerful that power was. Even so, it was still sealed in Mito's body. If it was released, it is hard to imagine what kind of ninja could stop it. "It seems that you have noticed it." Mito added: "My life is coming to an end. If I die, the Nine-Tails in my body will die with me because of the seal. However, as I said before, it will not really die. After a period of time, it will be resurrected."
"If it is left alone, the Konoha Village will be destroyed by it. Even the Third Hokage you just saw and all the ninjas of Konoha may not be able to stop it." Mito said in a deep voice. Kushina's face was heavy. Even a ninja like the Third Hokage couldn't stop it?
"And even if it can be stopped, the village will probably be caught in the flames of war during the period when the Nine-Tails is resurrected. The other ninja countries will not miss this opportunity." "Why?" Kushina didn't quite understand why the death of the Nine-Tails involved so many things.
Mito looked at Kushina and explained, "Because in this world, there is not only one monster like the Nine-Tails. There are similar monsters in other ninja countries." "There is more than one such monster?" Kushina could not imagine how much of a threat the ninja and even the entire human world would face when such monsters appeared in groups. "This kind of monster with huge chakra is called a tailed beast by us. In today's ninja countries, in addition to the Nine-Tails in our Konoha Ninja Village, there are a total of eight other tailed beasts," Mito said.
