　"Konoha is so boring, there's nothing to do, and there's not a single person who can fight."

　Kushina was extremely bored.

　"This Kushina has a very special identity."

　The Hokage will not allow anyone to leave Konoha, and if anything happens, the entire village will be in chaos.

　Uchiha Mikoto said

　The Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki is involved in many aspects. If Kushina were to be captured by an enemy while out, it would undoubtedly put Konoha in a disadvantageous position, and the method of controlling the Jinchuriki would likely be leaked.

　Of the five great nations, Konoha is undoubtedly the best at dealing with Jinchūriki.

　Whether it's the selection of Jinchūriki or their proficiency in sealing techniques, their skills are unmatched by other ninja villages.

　"I know, but I'm really worried about Ye Chen staying in Konoha all this time. He absolutely has to get out this time."

　Kushina seemed to have made up her mind.

　Mikoto Uchiha knew Kushina's personality; Kushina had already said so, she would definitely keep her word, so no one could change her mind.

　"I also suggest asking the Third Hokage's opinion! Leaving directly might cause a huge mess."

　Mikoto Uchiha finally said

　Kushina's idea served as a reminder to her; her identity wasn't as special as Kushina's, and she had long since stopped working for the Anbu, now practically a free agent in Konoha.

　Her grandfather, Uchiha Kagami, belonged to the Hokage faction, and the Uchiha clan did not participate in its affairs. Therefore, she had an excuse to leave Konoha without any resistance.

　Since Kushina wants to leave Konoha, then she can leave too, and she'll have even less burden and pressure than Kushina.

　Mikoto Uchiha has also made her decision; she will go to Loulan to find Ye Chen and finally settle the unresolved feelings in her heart.

　Of course, this couldn't be said in front of Kushina, otherwise they wouldn't be able to remain best friends.

　In other matters, Kushina could be given a chance, but when it came to matters of the heart, Mikoto Uchiha felt she had to fight for it herself. She couldn't give in; she had to be assertive, or she would regret it for the rest of her life.

　"Yes, I'll go find the Hokage."

　But I already guessed the ending, how annoying!

　Kushina said with a troubled expression:

　Hokage Building, Hokage's Office

　"What? You're leaving Konoha to find Yoruichi and Kushina?"

　The Third Hokage nearly choked on his own air, looking utterly astonished.

　"Ah, esteemed Hokage-sama"

　Please allow me to leave!

　Kushina said very kindly and respectfully.

　"No, absolutely not!"

　The Third Hokage refused outright.

　"What? Their ninjas can leave Konoha, but what can't they leave?"

　(1/2)

　Hokage-sama, this is unfair treatment!

　Kushina said angrily

　Even Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't dare to provoke this...grandma. If she unleashed the Nine-Tails and no one was there to stop her, Konoha would be finished. So, he patiently and calmly explained, "Kushina, your identity is extraordinary. Some things can't be done on a whim."

　Furthermore, the ninja world is full of dangers. Although one's strength is formidable, it is still insufficient to deal with the traps of the ninja world, and one needs to train in Konoha.

　"In terms of training, within the entire Leaf Village, who can defeat him now in terms of strength? Moreover, he has perfectly controlled the Nine-Tails' power, and the Nine-Tails has become his partner. With the Nine-Tails protecting him outside, who can bully him?"

　Kushina retorted confidently.

　Inside the sealed space, Kurama, who was dozing on the ground, felt inexplicably comfortable and reliable when she heard Kushina speak.

　Two orange foxes with erect ears swayed back and forth, their nine large tails fluttering in the wind.

　"This girl finally realizes how important I am! Tsk tsk! Just for those words, I'll risk my life to protect her."

　Nine-Tails thought to himself

　This is the heart of the Tailed Beasts—pure and simple, always striving for good and even better, putting themselves in others' shoes and exchanging hearts for hearts.

　It had been a long time since Kurama had felt this kind of reliable trust.

　Although Kushina isn't the one the old man from the Six Paths spoke of… it has always been waiting for its destined child! But Kurama (the Nine-Tails) believes they will become a pair of mutually dependent and reliable partners.

　Kushina, of course, had no idea about Kurama's own internal monologues and thoughts. If she did, she would probably laugh at this arrogant and foolish fox again.

　external

　Hearing Kushina's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned. She was right; there was indeed no ninja in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who could defeat Kushina.

　In her perfect Jinchūriki state, Kushina's strength surpassed Kage-level; even a casual strike possessed the power of a forbidden technique, making her incredibly terrifying.

　That's precisely why Kushina is so important. Since the First and Second Hokage, Konoha hasn't had a powerful figure to oversee it for a long time. How could they let Kushina leave? Once Kushina leaves Konoha, will she ever come back after being with Yoruichi? (2/2)

Chapter 417 Danzo: Sarutobi, you'll regret this.

　This content is being published for the first time (first update).

　Hokage's Office

　"Kushina, let's not talk about this anymore."

　Furthermore, Ye Chen doesn't necessarily return to Konoha. What if he leaves and then comes back immediately?

　Didn't we just miss each other perfectly?

　Hiruzen Sarutobi earnestly advised...

　Kushina was no ordinary ninja; Uzumaki+++: an orphan and a Jinchūriki, so she could only be reasoned with gently, appealing to emotions and explaining the situation.

　Upon hearing this, Kushina nodded slightly: "Hokage-sama, there's some truth to that."

　"But what if we stay in the village and don't go out? Ye Chen hasn't come back yet."

　"This"

　"No way!"

　"Judging by the time, Ye Chen has been gone for four or five years... he should be back soon."

　After all, Konoha's development still needs young, experienced ninjas like Ye Chen to guide it.

　Hiruzen Sarutobi said

　Kushina frowned, feeling a sense of unease that the Hokage was trying to fool her.

　However, she already had a plan in mind. She was only here to sound out the Hokage's opinion. If he didn't agree, she would have no choice but to secretly leave Konoha.

　In any case, Jinchūriki are not well-liked in the village due to their special status.

　Those ordinary people or ninjas, although they wouldn't call themselves monsters...

　But behind her back, in her heart, there was also that… unintentional look of contempt and disgust. Kushina wasn't a child anymore; she saw all of this. However, she didn't care about it now. Why live according to other people's opinions? That would be so tiring and boring.

　Now that they've grown strong enough, they naturally want to fly to even greater heights! "Alright, Hokage-sama!"

　Kushina said, seemingly no longer mentioning leaving the village.

　But in her heart, she was plotting her escape from the village.

　"Snapped!"

　As the office door closed, Hiruzen Sarutobi's warm smile gradually faded and disappeared, replaced by: [Name in charge]

　The Jinchūriki wants to leave the village; this is a very big deal!

　As Hokage, Kushina's cunning and scheming are naturally beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Although she no longer expresses any intention to leave the village, how could anyone not see that she is only superficially giving him the runaround? Given her personality, she will most likely sneak out of Konoha Village.

　"This is difficult!"

　Hiruzen Sarutobi scratched his thinning hair.

　"I told you so, Sarutobi..."

　Don't indulge these younger generation. Look at them now, they're all unruly and disrespectful to their elders. Now they're even disobeying the Hokage's words.

　snort!"

　A cold snort came from behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo walked out from behind the curtains at the office window with a gloomy expression.

　",Varied

　When are you coming, Danzo?!

　Hiruzen Sarutobi was nearly scared to death by Danzo's entrance; he never expected there to be a second person in his office besides Danzo. What a ghost!

　"I arrived a long time ago, but I was focused on that telescope technique and didn't disturb anyone."

　Then I heard them talking to the Jinchūriki.

　Danzo walked up to Hiruzen Sarutobi, his gaze cold.
