[Uchiha Setsuna is detected to have developed a strong negative emotion towards the host. The target is being linked!]
Uchiha Setsuna stared at Kazuki and muttered to himself: "I will never agree, I will never agree!"
From his perspective, Uchiha Setsuna had to admit that Kazuki took another way to seek a future for the Uchiha clan, and it was quite successful.
But the problem is...
Who will pay for the suffering he, Uchiha Setsuna, endured and the wrath of being imprisoned in a dark prison for over 20 years?!
Uchiha Setsuna's gaze went wild. Although Senju Tobirama, whom he hated so much, was already dead, his disciples and successors would have to pay.
But he also knew his own limitations...
At that moment, Setsuna thought of Uchiha Obito, his young successor, for whom he had hopes.
"Managing politics... what nonsense!" Uchiha Setsuna gritted his teeth and whispered: "Get love, lose love, Obito, I will find a way to make you my sharp sword..."
"The sword that will destroy everything!"
Meanwhile, Kazuki and his group slowly advanced towards the boundaries of the barrier.
According to the original plan, Kushina and Tsunade should stop here, and the rest of the journey will be handed over to Kazuki and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But Kushina felt the extremely quiet Nine-Tails, and a desire inexplicably ignited in her heart...
She thought of Shimura Danzo's words at that time, describing her with the cold word Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...
If she could control herself and walk out of this barrier, would she be recognized by the village?
Kushina wanted more and more to be called by her own name instead of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki like Uzumaki Mito.
But what she didn't know was that the Nine-Tails narrowed its eyes and quietly emitted chakra, stirring Kushina's heart.
As a new container, Kushina had already lost in the battle with the Nine-Tails.
"Third Hokage, I can do it. Let me finish this last leg."
In the eyes of everyone, Kushina did not put down the coffin as planned, but said firmly in a low voice.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled, but he couldn't stop at this occasion, let alone put down the coffin casually.
At this time, Kazuki whispered: "Trust Kushina, Uncle Hiruzen..."
Kazuki keenly sensed that Kushina's mood was not right. On such a solemn occasion and on such an important mission, someone like her would not act on a whim.
The reason behind her behavior was obvious.
It could only be the Nine-Tails.
Coincidentally, not only did the Nine-Tails have murderous intentions towards Kazuki, but Kazuki also missed this big furry fox.
Kazuki and Kushina did not let go of the coffin, and both Hiruzen and Tsunade could only continue moving forward towards the edge of the barrier.
The instant Kushina crossed the barrier, the Nine-Tails' eyes snapped open, rushing to break the seal containing him.
"Who do you think you are, you miserable container?!"
"This barrier... you'll never be able to get out of here! You'll die alone and forgotten in this place."
"Everyone is lying to you, everyone is using you, haven't you noticed? Your so-called companions, the high-level people in this village, have even forgotten your name, and only refer to you as a container!"
"Hurry up, unlock this seal, so that I can help you free from pain!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox's voice was extremely loud and very tempting, and it instantly attracted Kushina's mind!
Strong strands of orange-red chakra emerged slightly from Kushina's body, and her hands holding the coffin began to tremble slightly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled, and Tsunade also quickly realized that something was wrong!
The Nine-Tails' chakra is too eye-catching. Even a slight leak at this distance will be extremely obvious!
Especially next to Uzumaki Mito's coffin, if something goes wrong, it will be a very serious matter!
At that moment, Kazuki's eyes glowed with a deep shade of red, and his peripheral vision met Kushina's confused eyes!
Immediately, Kushina's will, which had already been weakened, was captured by Kazuki's pupillary power. Her eyes showed the pattern of a Sharingan, and the Nine-Tails' chakra returned to her.
"Uncle Hiruzen, Tsunade-sensei, I'm going to talk to the Nine-Tails..."
Kazuki said softly: "Everything will proceed as planned; I can handle it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt relieved. If something happened in this situation, even he, the Hokage, would not know what to do. He sighed in his mind.
'He is worthy of being the second Nine-Tails of Konoha created by Tobirama-sensei!'
'Sensei, your forbidden techniques have given the village a new hope...'
In Kushina's inner world, she was struggling with the Nine-Tails, and Kazuki's figure slowly emerged.
Kushina looked into his eyes, but before she knew it, her vision blurred, and she fell to her knees.
Kazuki looked at the Nine-Tails and smiled a familiar arrogant smile. With a calm voice, he spoke to him: "Nine-Tails, we meet again. Do you still remember me?"
The Nine-Tails' eyes opened wide. In that instant, he sensed Kazuki's pupillary power up close, solid and familiar. The fear he had once felt returned in a single heartbeat.
It was not an illusion, nor a mistake.
Kazuki's essence, which came from the lineage of Uchiha Madara and Izuna's pupil power, left him with no room for doubt...
Kazuki is definitely the reincarnation of Uchiha Madara's chakra, or a descendant!
"Who are you, kid, tell me who you are!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox roared hysterically, but its roar no longer had the magic to seduce people under the suppression of Kazuki's pupil power and the seal. It was just like the barking of a powerless defeated dog, which only sounded pitiful.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Kazuki..." Kazuki said, pulling on the connection of the summoning contract with the Nine-Tails. "I am also your master."
Kazuki's humiliating words made the Nine-Tailed Fox even more angry, but at the same time, panic and fear surged in his heart...
How could this brat control the contract that Madara had forced him to accept?
Kazuki looked at the Nine-Tails that was restricted by the seals and increased the power of his pupil, forcing it to adopt a ridiculous pose.
"A pet should look like a pet, am I right? Nine-Tailed Fox..." Kazuki, seeing the Nine-Tails completely perplexed, shook his head. "I hope you can break free from the seal and let me be your Jinchuriki. I think we will have a very happy life..."
"I will come to see you often if I have the chance in the future, cute fox."
Kazuki waved him goodbye.
[From the target Nine-Tailed Fox: You gain the ability to perceive good and evil!]
After Kazuki disappeared, the Nine-Tails, still trembling, lay down on the ground, feeling terrified and exhausted. For now, the beast just wanted to rest and forget about the recent humiliation.
He wondered who Kazuki really was.
The reincarnation of Uchiha Madara's chakra?
Not really, Kazuki's words were too polite, and he didn't even use the word beast to describe him!
Is that the descendant of Uchiha Madara?
It seems that there is only this possibility, but who is the child born to?
The Nine-Tails sank into deep thought...
In the outside world, Kazuki and others had already walked into the tomb that had been prepared long ago and made the final burial for Uzumaki Mito.
Thus, the burial ceremony was completed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Kazuki stood by, watching the Konoha shinobi come over one by one and say goodbye.
"Kazuki, thanks to you..."
"Uncle Hiruzen, this is what I should do."
Uchiha Madara, who was watching the scene, smiled and shook his head.
At first, Mito's attempt to gain Kazuki's loyalty had seemed like a complicated strategy.
Kazuki was still a child after all. Would such a high-standard treatment make him lost?
But everything changed when Kushina lost control. At that moment, Madara glimpsed a pupil power that reminded him of his own when he was young: that overwhelming power, overflowing and full of arrogance.
It was a power similar to Izuna's, but at that instant, Madara felt that Kazuki was more like himself.
With power like that, Madara didn't believe for a second that an Uchiha like Kazuki would remain trapped in Konoha's mediocrity.
Meanwhile, Minato, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru watched the ceremony in silence. Each of them pondered Kazuki's position and what this moment could mean for the future of Konoha and the shinobi world… and for their own destiny.
However, there was someone who did not share those deep thoughts. After the funeral, that person approached Sarutobi Hiruzen with a frown and a face full of anger.
Shimura Danzo slammed the table in the Hokage's office and roared: "Hiruzen! What kind of arrangement is this? How is it possible that Uchiha Kazuki was given the honor of carrying Mito-sama's coffin? Why didn't you consult me?"
"Do you still have me, the Hokage's assistant, in your eyes!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him, slowly took out his pipe, took a puff, exhaled a long puff of smoke, and said coldly after a moment: "Why, you are not convinced?"
