In Konoha, Mito was Kushina's closest person, although she spent a short time with Mito, she was able to enjoy a kind of love called doting from Mito, who loved her like her own grandmother.
Now, this only relative and clan member in Konoha was leaving, Kushina was very uneasy and scared inside in addition to being sad.
When she heard Kirito's words at this moment, she immediately opened her tear-covered eyes and looked at Kirito, at this cheap senior brother who was similar in age to him but far more powerful than her.
She looked at the familiar blue diamond-shaped mark on Kirito's brow, and Kirito's big, confident, bright eyes.
At this moment, it was as if she was watching Mito's shadow in Kirito.
"Don't be afraid, as your senior brother, I will always be by your side to support you and guard you, even if you become a Nine Tailed Jinchuuriki in the future, don't worry, I will watch over that monster, and I will definitely not let it harm you."
Kirito looked at Kushina's crying face, solemnly made a promise, and then extended a hand to Kushina.
Kushina froze as she heard the promise made by Kirito himself, and for some reason, the uneasiness and fear in her heart was suddenly gone.
The strength that Kirito had always shown made her feel at ease.
"Hmm~"
Kushina wiped a handful of tears from her eyes, sniffled, and nodded before placing her hand on top of Kirito's outstretched hand.
Kirito managed to gain Kushina's trust, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Afterwards, he brought Kushina to an unoccupied room, placed a sealing barrier inside, and began to tell Kushina some hidden things about sealing the Nine Tails.
On the other hand, as Sandaime kept giving various orders at the Hokage building, the behemoth that is Konoha began to rapidly awaken, a large number of ninjas within Konoha were secretly mobilized, and many spies from other countries lurking within Konoha gradually realized that something was wrong.
Wherever you go, you will leave traces.
Although the ninja actions were very secretive, but such a large-scale mobilization, it was still difficult to hide from those shrewd enemy spies.
These spies didn't dare to go overboard in digging up the secrets of this, the only thing they could do was to use their respective secret channels to pass the news out in the first place.
Not long after, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure and Kirigakure all received the information passed back by their own intelligence personnel one after another.
When the top brass of each shinobi village received the information, they instantly realized that Konoha was going to carry out some kind of big action, and they all convened an emergency meeting to discuss what kind of big action Konoha was actually carrying out.
...
Konoha, Uchiha clan territory, Chizuru house, in the underground chamber with burning lamps.
A group of jōnin within the Uchiha clan had secretly gathered here, and most of them had angry expressions on their faces at this time.
" Clan Leader, what does Hokage-sama mean by this, obviously all the other ninja clans have received his secret order to quietly send a large number of clansmen to take action, why is it that we, the Uchiha, are the only ones who haven't received the secret order."
"That's right, our Konoha is obviously going to carry out some big operation next, what does Hokage-sama mean by this, is he not trusting our Uchiha?"
"Lord Clan Leader, please go and ask Lord Sandaime, we Uchiha can't be left out of this operation ..."
...
One by one, the Uchiha Jōnin said with an agitated and angry tone, many of them could not suppress the indignation in their hearts and opened their three hooked jade Sharingan.
Chizuru was also here at this time, she was sitting right above the edge of the last corner of the crowd.
She is a small person, she has not said a word, cold eyes looking at this group of agitation of the same clan.
Why was the Uchiha clan excluded from the action by Sandaime?
Chizuru was young, but knew it well in her heart.
She had always had Kirito for secret exchanges and knew more or less a little bit about Mito's situation, plus some of Konoha's top-secret information that she had learned from her grandfather.
Unsurprisingly, the big action of Konoha this time was related to the Nine Tailed Jinchuuriki.
The Nine Tail Jinchuuriki is going to be replaced, and the Nine Tails are naturally going to show up again.
In that case, everything made sense.
Sandaime was afraid that the Uchiha would once again use the power of the Sharingan to control the Nine Tails, just like that person did back then, and was afraid that the Uchiha's people would use the Nine Tails to cause chaos.
Why was the Uchiha slow to integrate into Konoha?
She had once endured the shame of asking this question to the overly intelligent Kirito.
The answer she got was that that person used the Nine Tails to kill the first Hokage, which directly led to the decline of Konoha, and this incident created an irreparable rift between the Uchiha and Konoha, as well as the fact that the Uchiha clan was too arrogant, unwilling to put down their stature and take the initiative to integrate into Konoha.
Hearing such a reply, although Chizuru felt angry and ashamed, she was slow to retort.
Because she knew in her heart that Kirito's answer was right, and it went straight to the heart of the matter.
The death of the First Hokage is the pain in the hearts of countless people in Konoha, if the First Hokage was still around, the current Konoha would never have fallen into the quagmire of the war, leading to the emergence of countless tragedies in Konoha, and countless people in Konoha who had grown up listening to the legend of the God of Ninja thought the same way.
Even she thought so.
Although that person said that he had left the Uchiha clan long ago, he was after all a member of the Uchiha clan, and still an important person.
It was good that he died, but the poor living Uchiha were hated by the people of Konoha in his place, and all the hatred against that person was transferred to the entire Uchiha clan because of that person's death.
Unless the Uchiha clan can be the hero of Konoha, make enough contribution for Konoha, pay enough sacrifices to dissolve this hatred, or the Uchiha clan is destroyed, otherwise this hatred can never be dissolved.
That person is truly a sinner of the Uchiha clan.
There is also the arrogant personality of the clan is also a huge problem, this is the Uchiha clan's long-standing common problem, the clan can realize this is very few, reversing this bad personality is even more difficult.
Thinking about all these problems, Chizuru, an Uchiha with the intention of changing the Uchiha clan's awkward position in Konoha, felt an overwhelming pressure that weighed her down a bit.
Luckily, she didn't need to bear this pressure alone, she had a very reliable helper by her side right now.
As soon as they grew up, they would have the strength and confidence to change all of this.
But before they could change all that, they first had to grow up smoothly and then gain enough status in Konoha.
And her goal right now was to become the Clan Leader of the Uchiha clan with absolute strength, only by becoming the Clan Leader would she be able to control the Uchiha, a huge beast of misfits, and slowly tame it with time.
Once she thought about this, Chizuru subconsciously looked at a teenager beside him who was a few years older than him.
Uchiha Fugaku, a genius second only to her in the Uchiha clan, at the age of twelve he possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, graduated at the age of ten, and then traveled to the Land of Rain to participate in the war, and was already a Konoha jōnin by the time he came back.
As one of the very few clansmen and genius ninja in the Uchiha who had made great achievements in the war, Uchiha Fugaku had a high reputation in the clan and even in the Konoha ninja community, and was held in high regard by the Uchiha clan.
Undoubtedly, this person would be her Uchiha Chizuru's formidable rival for the clan leader's throne in the future.
The Uchiha has always been regardless of clan and sub-clan, and the position of clan chief can only be inherited by the strongest person in the clan.
Those who can go up, those who are mediocre will go down.
This is the iron rule within the Uchiha clan.
No one can be an exception.
No one.
