Uzumaki Mito shouted softly in her heart and slowly closed her eyes.
At this point, Uzumaki Mito's ninja career officially came to an end, and he slept peacefully in the chair at the last moment of his life.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart trembled.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, he still felt nervous when the moment really arrived.
The death of Uzumaki Mito means too much.
It's not just the change of the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. When the other ninja villages know this news, people's hearts will start to waver again. Perhaps the clouds of war will come again...
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well that the other hidden villages were not without the courage to attack Konoha, they were just waiting for the right opportunity.
But now is not the time to think about these things.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade looked at each other, then slowly walked into the inner room, carrying out a Warring States-style coffin.
Tsunade walked forward slowly and carried Uzumaki Mito into the room with extremely gentle movements. Her hands glowed green as she put the finishing touches on her grandmother's appearance.
When the coffin-entering ceremony was over, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, a new era has begun--"
"Please work hard for the village and the Will of Fire, and be more serious!"
"Yes!"
But at this moment, Shimura Danzo slowly spoke: "Huruzen, how will Mito-sama's funeral be held?"
"The death of Mito-sama means a lot. If other hidden villages get to know this news, it will be very disadvantageous to us..."
"After all, we have no way of knowing whether the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can control the power in his body."
Qingshui chuckled. In Shimura Danzo's mind, Kushina had lost her name since she became a Jinchūriki.
"Tobirama, your disciple seems a bit extreme?"
Qing Shui sighed: "Keeping the death a secret can indeed bring a period of stability to Konoha, but it is disheartening. What do you think?"
Senju Tobirama's face was not looking good either. Shimura Danzo's performance made him feel very embarrassed in front of Qingshui.
"Kid, if Danzo thinks like you, it doesn't really matter, it's just too cold..."
Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes: "But what I am worried about is that Danzo is still setting a trap for Monkey at this time!"
Qingshui smiled. Although he had already guessed what was going on, he still asked:
"How can this be a trap? Assistant Danzo just has low emotional intelligence?"
Senju Tobirama stared at Shimura Danzo and said slowly: "You have seen Kushina's performance. She cannot control the Nine-Tails very well. This is a fact."
"But Mito's funeral could not be held in private, let alone kept secret, despite all the circumstances."
"Even if Monkey is the Hokage, if he does this, it will be a devastating blow to his reputation and popularity."
"But if something goes wrong with Kushina later, Danzo's words will give him a reason to brag about himself and attack the monkey!"
Qing Shui frowned and said softly:
"Tobirama, are you thinking too much?"
Senju Tobirama snorted coldly:
"Sitting in that position, in such a critical situation, every word has a purpose and benefit..."
"Danzo's words make me very unhappy!"
There was a flash of anger in Tobirama Senju's eyes. The violent means that Danzo Shimura used to deal with Aomizu had made him look at his former student in a different light.
And today, Tobirama Senju is even more certain that Konoha's current Hokage assistant has not kept in mind the unity he mentioned on his deathbed, but is thinking about competing with the Hokage all the time.
Qing Shui shook his head: "It's so complicated, Tobirama..."
"The truth and falsehood between people seem to be a problem that even the Will of Fire cannot solve..."
Senju Tobirama's expression froze.
But what Qingshui said was indeed the truth. If the Will of Fire could make everyone become sincere, then it would be the most powerful illusion in the ninja world, and not just a slogan to unite people.
Just as Tobirama Senju interpreted——
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression darkened instantly, and he stared at Shimura Danzo who seemed somewhat smug, and said in a deep voice:
"Danzo, you are too presumptuous!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was rarely angry, but Shimura Danzo did not refute as usual, but laughed coldly:
"You are the Hokage, Hiruzen, so just do it."
"As the Hokage's assistant, I am only giving you some suggestions."
In Danzo Shimura's view, this was just a casual move.
Anyway, all those present were Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciples. No matter what he did or whether his words were pleasing, these people could not be in the same camp with him, and his words would not affect his future competition for the position of Hokage.
But as long as he brought up this matter, if one day the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki went berserk and caused Konoha to be forced by other ninja villages in a hurry, there would be a lot to talk about, and Sarutobi Hiruzen would have a great responsibility.
What Danzo Shimura didn't expect was that not only Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciples and teammates were present, but also his teacher, who was silently looking at him with extremely dissatisfied eyes!
Sarutobi Hiruzen collected his thoughts, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice:
"At Mito-sama's funeral, all Konoha ninjas must be present, including the children of the Ninja School!"
"We, the Konoha ninja, rely on the strength of every single one of us. Although the death of Mito-sama is extremely sad, as long as everyone is still here, there is nothing to fear!"
"If the other hidden villages make a move, we will respond. If they want to start a war, then we will fight!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to be irritated by Shimura Danzo, and his words became more intense.
Qingshui silently watched Sarutobi Hiruzen at this moment, feeling a little emotional.
Just by looking at this scene, Qingshui really finds it difficult to connect the current Sarutobi Hiruzen with the future Hokage who is submissive to Kumogakure and who surrenders to Hyuga Hizashi in exchange for his own safety.
Perhaps, it was because of Shimura Danzo's provocation...
Or maybe time and casualties will wear down Sarutobi Hiruzen's bloodiness...
But at least at this moment, the look in Senju Tobirama's eyes when he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen had become admiring.
Jiraiya, Tsunade, Namikaze Minato and others had firm looks in their eyes, and seemed to agree with Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.
Kushina also looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with gratitude, and an inexplicable light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.
No matter what, Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were very encouraging.
"Tsunade, Kushina, Aomizu, you stay here. Mito-sama has other instructions in his will..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand: "The others can go first."
Danzo Shimura snorted coldly, turned around without hesitation, and was the first to leave.
Namikaze Minato looked at Kushina worriedly, but since Sarutobi Hiruzen did not mention him, he had no choice but to leave first.
Wait until everyone else leaves.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said softly, "When Lady Mito was dying, she specifically asked the four of us to carry her coffin and take one last look at Konoha."
"As for the range, I'll set it to be within the barrier left by Mito-sama."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kushina:
"Kushina, you have to try to control your emotions. This is your first appearance as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and it involves many important things..."
“Whether inside or outside the village, your performance will mean a lot.”
Kushina nodded seriously, "I will do it, Sandaime-sama!"
But at this moment, inside Kushina's body, the Nine-Tails, which was pierced by chains and shackled, sneered grimly:
"What can you do? You can't do anything..."
"New container, I can feel the confusion, fear, and bewilderment in your heart..."
"You are the one who feels more constrained than I am!"
Kushina forcibly suppressed the Nine-Tails surging in her body and reluctantly listened to Sarutobi Hiruzen's next arrangements.
Qing Shui was quick to notice something was wrong and patted Kushina on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Kushina. We will all help you. Just like Uncle Hiruzen said, you are not alone..."
Kushina nodded gratefully, but the Nine-Tails in her body reacted even more violently, sweeping away her previous gloomy and confident look, and roared hysterically:
"Get away! Get away!"
"If you come near that brat again, I will kill you, lowly vessel!"
Kushina's mood improved a lot, and she said softly to Kyuubi: "It seems that you also have fear in your heart..."
"Although I don't understand why you are so afraid of Qingshui, I can tell you a secret. Do you want to hear it?"
Kyuubi narrowed his eyes: "If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Mr. Mito seemed to have wanted Qingshui to be your vessel, but in the end, for some reason, he chose me..."
Kushina looked at the Nine-Tails whose face was gradually darkening, and threatened with a smile: "If I die, your next Jinchūriki will probably be Qingshui..."
"So, if you don't want to change containers, why don't you just get along with me?"
Kyuubi's expression froze, he began to breathe heavily, and suddenly shouted:
"No one can threaten me!"
"Container, you pissed me off!"
Kyuubi's eyes were filled with madness.
Although he saw the shadow of Uchiha Madara in Qingshui's pupil power and smile, it was just a guess after all.
But now, Kushina, a lowly container in its eyes, has dared to threaten it with Qingshui!
Do you really think it is afraid of Qingshui?
Kyuubi became more and more crazy as he recalled the humiliation he had suffered in the past.
It has already decided that on the day of Uzumaki Mito's funeral, it will break through Kushina's defenses in one fell swoop, control this container to kill Aoki, and then smash everything to take complete revenge on Konoha!
4600 first!
Riwan waits for me to come home after get off work to catch up! (Sigh)
