Chapter 114 Mito Uzumaki Passes Away (Third and Fourth Updates)

"Tsunade, you did a great job this time, far exceeding our expectations."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped forward and said with a smile.

This is not just polite talk.

He truly hadn't expected Tsunade and the others to be able to capture Rasa and Yekura alive.

They thought it would be quite an achievement to be able to defeat Sunagakure, but no one expected Tsunade and her team to be able to do this.

"yes."

Mitokado Homura smiled and said, "When I first received the news, I thought it was fake news."

"The Sand Village sent us a letter the day before yesterday, hoping to cease hostilities and negotiate."

Koharu Utatane spoke up, reminding us, "In the battle against Sunagakure, our Hidden Leaf Village has already achieved final victory."

"Rasa, Yekura, and Reki have all been captured by us."

Mitokado Homura said expectantly, "This time, we must make them pay a substantial price."

"The specific details of the negotiations will be discussed later."

Hiruzen Sarutobi instructed, "Tsunade, send the Sunagakure ninjas to the Konoha Prison first. We have already prepared rooms there."

The Konoha Prison is a prison set up by Konoha Village to hold serious criminals.

Normally, ninjas from other villages are not imprisoned in Konoha's heavy torture chambers, but are instead sent to the Anbu for interrogation.

However, there were simply too many Sunagakure ninjas captured this time, and the Anbu didn't have enough prison cells.

Left with no other choice, they had to be sent to the Konoha prison for serious crimes.

"Shuomao".

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to trouble you to make the trip."

Sakumo Hatake nodded in agreement.

He immediately led a group of men to escort the Sunagakure ninjas toward the Konoha Prison.

"I will have ninjas from the Anbu and Root units guard them."

Hiruzen Sarutobi added.

"It would be best to have the Uzumaki clan ninjas help by using sealing techniques on important figures to prevent them from escaping."

Tsunade reminded her.

"That's a good suggestion. I'll arrange it right away."

Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject, saying, "Get the wounded to Konoha Hospital right now; we can't delay their treatment."

"The seriously injured have all drunk the red treatment liquid, and their condition will not worsen in the short term."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she immediately instructed Hyuga Hizashi to carry it out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked up to the remaining Konoha ninja.

He smiled as he met the many gazes of the crowd.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted, "You have lived up to the Will of Fire and made outstanding contributions to the village!"

The ninjas immediately responded with cheers.

"This unprecedented victory is entirely due to everyone's efforts. Konoha Village will reward you according to your contributions!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then said, "You all go home and rest first. The specific rewards will be finalized within two weeks!"

The number of Konoha ninjas participating in this war against Sunagakure reached as high as 5,000.

It will be difficult to distribute the rewards in a short period of time.

In addition, rewards and compensation should also be given to the Konoha ninja who died in battle.

Being able to implement it within two weeks is already very efficient.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

The ninjas shouted in unison.

Then they walked toward their relatives and friends in the crowd.

Before long, more than half of the huge crowd had dispersed.

Kushina Uzumaki ran forward after the matter was concluded.

"I could hear you calling Xia Mu's name from a long way away."

Tsunade asked jokingly, "Didn't you see anyone else?"

Kushina Uzumaki blushed deeply and lowered her head in embarrassment.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw this, he couldn't help but smile.

"You guys go back first."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Leave the rest to us."

"The three of you have made great contributions in this war. You can think about what kind of reward you would like."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Natsuki, Nawaki, and Nono Yakushi and said, "Come find me when you've made up your mind."

"Xia Mu told me before that he wanted a Water Release chakra crystal."

Tsunade reminded her.

"Water Release chakra crystals?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused slightly, then said, "That was left behind by our teacher. Since you've already agreed, I naturally have no objections."

Xia Mu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

But upon closer reflection, it seems quite reasonable.

Chakra crystals can only be created by ninjas with a vast amount of chakra.

When it comes to Water Release techniques, Tobirama Senju is undoubtedly number one.

In the entire ninja world, only Kisame Hoshigaki can rival him.

Kisame Hoshigaki was one of the second generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

He is skilled in water-style techniques and possesses astonishing chakra, earning him the title of the Tailed Beast without a Tail.

How so?

Xia Mu felt that his appearance alone made him seem less human and more like a fish-man.

"Let's go to the Hokage's office to discuss this in detail."

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi already knew the general outline of what had happened, many details needed to be explained by Tsunade.

In particular, how to use the antidote for the curse on Hanzo needs further discussion.

"Are you planning to go straight home now?"

After Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others left, Kushina Uzumaki asked a question.

Although she longed to stay with Xia Mu, she was also very considerate, knowing that they had been traveling for five days and were already very tired.

Nawaki and Yakushi Nono instinctively looked at Natsuki.

During this period, Xia Mu had been their captain, and they were all used to obeying his orders.

"It's almost lunchtime. How about we go to Mito-sama's place first?"

Xia Mu pondered for a moment and then asked.

Kushina Uzumaki's face immediately broke into a smile, and she nodded quickly.

"Um."

Yakushi Nono replied softly.

Rope Tree had no objections whatsoever.

After all, Mito Uzumaki lived in the Senju clan's territory.

Let's go!

Kushina Uzumaki waved her little hand and said happily.

Xia Mu smiled and followed behind her.

After taking two steps, Kushina Uzumaki suddenly turned around.

As she walked backwards, she said, "Tell me the details of this war!"

"Let me speak!"

Rope Tree's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Which part do you want to hear?"

"I'd rather hear from the person involved."

Kushina Uzumaki stared at Natsuki with her bright, watery eyes and asked, "I heard you defeated Rasa?"

Rope Tree realized what was happening.

He immediately shook his head in frustration.

It would be really hard for him not to speak up about such a great opportunity to shine.

"Do you know Luo Sha?"

Xia Mu asked curiously.

"I didn't know before."

Kushina Uzumaki explained, "I only found out after you became famous."

"I see."

Xia Mu nodded and then told her about his battle with Luo Sha.

"You've created three such powerful martial arts techniques in such a short time?"

Kushina Uzumaki asked with a surprised look.

""

Xia Mu had previously mentioned that he wanted to create his own martial arts techniques.

At the time, Nawaki expressed her doubts, but she and Yakushi Nonou both chose to believe him.

However, despite her belief, the fact that he created three of them so quickly was truly unexpected.

Most importantly, these three physical techniques were all extremely powerful and played a significant role in the battle against Rasa.

The moment when the finger gun wounded Rasa was a turning point in their battle.

"For the next period of time, we will not go to the Land of Rain. I will start teaching you tomorrow."

Xia Mu said with a smile.

He has already taught the shaving technique to Yakushi Nonou and Nawaki.

Now that I have free time, I can teach Kushina and Tsunade.

Of course, he also has a lot to do on his own.

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.

"Xia Mu's growth rate is truly astonishing."

After listening to Tsunade's report, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh.

"Natsuki deserves the most credit for Konoha's victory this time."

Mitokado Homura nodded and said, "He helped Chiyo break the poison and also defeated Rasa."

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura's facial muscles twitched involuntarily.

The better Xia Mu performed, the more heartbroken he became.

Such talent clearly belongs to the core.

However, we can't blame the Root ninjas who conducted the Konoha orphanage test back then.

He couldn't understand why Natsuki had no talent for ninjutsu but had the talent to create his own.

"Most importantly, the antidote can cure not only Chiyo's poison, but also Hanzo's poison."

Tsunade said in a deep voice, "We can catch Hanzo off guard with the antidote for the curse."

"We can give the antidote to Root, and Root can send someone to assassinate Hanzo."

Danzo Shimura immediately said.

"inappropriate."

Hiruzen Sarutobi declined, saying, "Hanzo is confident, but he is also very cautious. He has many guards and never appears alone."

Danzo Shimura's face stiffened, but he dared not say anything more.

"Tsunade, are you sure the antidote can neutralize Hanzo's poison?"

Xiaochun, who was turning over to her room, interrupted and asked.

"I've already tried."

"That's what Tsunade replied."

Previously, when she escorted Xia Mu to the Land of Rain with logistical supplies, she tried to break Hanzo's poison.

Although it was unsuccessful, a certain amount of poison was preserved.

"very good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled and said, "With the antidote for the curse, our chances of winning against Amegakure will be much greater."

"Tsunade, when do you plan to use it?"

Xiaochun asked again as she turned to her new room.

Tsunade recounted her previous conversation with Natsuki.

"The most crucial battle?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "Then I'll leave it to the three of you to handle."

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru have already gained considerable fame.

If he were to defeat Amegakure and Hanzo, ending the Second Shinobi World War, his fame would likely be enough to compete for the next Hokage position.

Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo Shimura were able to understand Hiruzen Sarutobi's unspoken meaning.

The two Hokage advisors didn't really care who became Hokage, as long as they could keep their positions.

Danzo Shimura cared a lot about who became Hokage, but now he dared not defy Hiruzen Sarutobi and could only remain silent.

"There's one more thing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi added, "The negotiations with Sunagakure are scheduled for next month, and I think you are the most suitable person to represent Konoha in the negotiations."

"Don't look for me."

Tsunade refused without hesitation, saying, "This kind of troublesome thing is not suitable for me, but for Shikasuke."

"You captured Rasa, Yekura, and Reki."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled helplessly and offered a reminder.

"I've already arrested him, and you still want me to negotiate? Wouldn't that be like arresting him for nothing?"

Tsunade pursed her lips and asked.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless.

However, he did confirm once again that Tsunade had no interest in becoming Hokage.

Because such negotiations can enhance her prestige, and a successful negotiation is also a merit.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Oh, and I'll take the Water Release Chakra Crystal with me."

Tsunade waved her hand and turned to leave the Hokage's office.

The Senju clan's stronghold.

Natsuki saw Mito Uzumaki.

He immediately sensed that she was in a state of utter exhaustion.

Because she possessed the Yin Seal, she actually appeared to be old.

In addition to storing chakra, the Yin Seal can also maintain a youthful appearance through chakra micro-adjustment.

The only reason Mito Uzumaki aged was that she could no longer, or rather, gave up, performing even the most subtle chakra adjustments.

After greeting her, Xia Mu went to the kitchen to cook.

"It seems I've returned just in time."

As Tsunade entered the living room, she smelled a faint fragrance.

She looked at the dining table and found that three dishes had already been laid out.

"Sis, we've been waiting for you!"

Rope Tree waved and said, "Come quickly!"

"Grandma Mito".

Tsunade stepped forward and sat down next to Mito Uzumaki.

"You've worked so hard these past few days, now that you're back you should get some rest."

Mito Uzumaki smiled and said.

"It wasn't particularly tough."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "Defeating Sunagakure makes all the hardship worthwhile."

"Grandma Mito!"

Suddenly, Rope Tree exclaimed excitedly, "After we eat, I'll tell you about my performance this time. I was just as good as Grandpa!"

"Xia Mu's performance was about average."

Tsunade raised her hand and tapped Nawaki on the forehead, saying.

Just then, Natsuki, Yakushi Nono, and Uzumaki Kushina came out of the kitchen.

The three people each carried a plate of food.

"The dishes are all served, you can start eating now."

Xia Mu said with a smile.

"I'm starting!"

Rope Tree and the others clapped their hands and said happily.

After finishing their meal, Natsuki and Yakushi Nonou returned to the Konoha Orphanage.

But before leaving, he obtained a Water Release chakra crystal from Tsunade.

The next morning.

After thinking it over, Xia Mu decided to ask Granny Cat to make him a magic weather wand.

Granny Cat was able to provide the Uchiha clan with ninja tools for many years, so her ninja tool manufacturing technology was undoubtedly excellent.

Most importantly, she has a very good reputation and character.

Besides, given Xia Mu's current status and position, Granny Cat wouldn't dare to covet his blueprints.

Although Granny Cat is mysterious, she is ultimately not a strong person, but just a ninja tool and information merchant.

After having breakfast, Natsuki and Yakushi Nonou arrived at the empty area where the Ninja Cat Clan lived.

Because he was the contractor of Shirayuki the Ninja Cat, he met Granny Cat without any problems.

"Natsuki, it's good to see you again. You've become a renowned genius in the ninja world."

Grandma Cat said with a chuckle.

"Grandma Cat, you flatter me. I would like to ask you to forge a ninja tool for me."

Xia Mu got straight to the point.

"What ninja tools?"

Grandma Cat paused for a moment, then asked, "A knife? Or a bow?"

In addition to providing ninja tools, she also provided intelligence.

Xia Mu had been quite influential in the Land of Rain during this period, so she naturally knew about it.

He is most famous for his archery and swordsmanship.

"That's great."

Xia Mu took out the blueprints for the Magic Weather Wand and handed them to her.

Grandma Cat glanced at it subconsciously, and her expression changed slightly.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a peculiar ninja tool.

Grandma Cat quickly took the blueprints and examined them carefully.

The more she looked, the more surprised she became.

The tools used in the ninja world are actually not complicated.

Essentially, they are standardized ninja tools, such as kunai, shuriken, and senbon, which are all standardized.

But the Weather Wand is different; it has many functions and is much more complex.

I'll give it a try.

Granny Cat said in a deep voice, "It is the most complex ninja tool I have ever seen. I am not absolutely certain."

"That will be troublesome, Granny Cat."

Xia Mu then took out water and lightning chakra crystals and said, "You can provide the rest of the materials; I can pay for them."

"no problem."

Granny Cat nodded and said, "I can find all the other materials except for Water Release and Lightning Release chakra crystals."

"Approximately how long will it take?"

Xia Mu handed her two chakra crystals.

The Lightning Release Chakra Crystal was taken from the Thunder God's Sword.

Without the crystallized lightning chakra, the Thunder God Sword became an ordinary sword.

Fortunately, he has projection magic, so losing the original Thor's sword isn't a big deal.

If we find a second Lightning Release chakra crystal later, we can attach it to it.

"It's hard to say."

Grandma Cat pondered for a moment and said, "At least three months. I will inform Snow White when that time comes."

Xia Mu nodded slightly.

I wonder if I'll be able to make it in time for the war between Konoha and Amegakure.

After finishing their business, Natsuki and Yakushi Nonou headed to the Senju clan's encampment.

But once he entered the courtyard, he realized something was wrong.

Neither Nawaki nor Kushina Uzumaki were there.

"You've arrived?"

Tsunade said silently, "Come with me."

Natsuki suppressed her doubts and followed Yakushi Nonou into the living room.

Upon arriving in the living room, Tsunade did not stop but instead headed upstairs.

Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely had a guess.

So suddenly?

No, perhaps it wasn't sudden.

It's highly likely that Mito Uzumaki was putting on a brave face all along, waiting for Tsunade and Nawaki to return so she could see them one last time.

Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I can finally rest easy.

Upon reaching the top of the stairs, Xia Mu spotted an unexpected figure: Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His suspicions were confirmed once again.

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't normally be here.

Unless the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is replaced.

"Lord Hokage."

Natsuki and Yakushi Nonou quickly greeted each other.

"You may go in."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said.

Natsuki and Yakushi Nonou entered the room.

Inside the room, Mito Uzumaki was lying on the bed.

Nawaki and Kushina Uzumaki squatted by the bed, their eyes red and filled with tears.

"Natsu—Natsuki."

Mito Uzumaki shouted.

Her tone revealed a deep sense of weakness.

"Mito-sama."

Xia Mu immediately stepped forward.

"Both Nawaki and Kushina have rare friends, so I hope you can take good care of them in the future."

Mito Uzumaki grabbed Natsuki's hand and said, "Especially Nawaki, he's rather impulsive."

"I will."

Xia Mu nodded solemnly and said.

"Thanks."

After Mito Uzumaki finished speaking, she looked at Tsunade.

"Nawaki, Natsuki, and Nono, you can go out first."

Tsunade patted Nawaki's head and said.

"Grandma Mito, see you later."

Rope Tree rubbed his eyes hard and said.

Natsuki grabbed Kushina's hand, squeezed it, and then left the room.

"Go and wait in the living room."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order and then went into the room.

"Let's begin."

Mito Uzumaki looked at Kushina Uzumaki.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

Kushina Uzumaki bit her lip, feeling lost.

She clenched her fists instinctively, and thinking of Xia Mu brought her some peace of mind.

No matter what, she is not alone.
