To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Uchiha Shigeka took a look and saw that they were looking straight ahead with expressionless faces, without even blinking, and seemed lifeless.

This feels... like driving corpses.

He patted Kushina's shoulder, "Kushina, let's go home."

"Yeah! Let's go home!"

Kushina's eyes lit up, and the word "go home" attracted Kushina like magic.

She knew that her home now was Konoha, the land of the Senju clan, but she couldn't help but fantasize.

When will they have a home with just her and Chonghua?

That home… is better!

......

"Mito-sama, this is what happens when you don't have ANBU protection."

Shimura Danzo looked unhappy: "They actually allowed someone to brazenly break into our clan's territory and kidnap people. Since the founding of Konoha, when has such an embarrassing thing ever happened?"

"This is a provocation to Konoha. I cannot tolerate such humiliation! Kumogakure must pay the price!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned at the side: "This may not be done by Kumogakure."

"Who else could it be other than Kumogakure?" Shimura Danzo said, "We all know the situation of Kumogakure. They shouldn't have started a war at this time. We didn't understand it before, but can we not understand it now?"

"Huruzen, it's clear that it was Kumogakure who did it!"

"Cough cough..."

The weak Uzumaki Mito didn't pay attention to the quarrel between the two. She only said one sentence: "Have you found Kushina? It hasn't been long since the incident happened. Those spies are not strong. Find them and rescue Kushina."

"Mito-sama." Shimura Danzo had a sour look on his face. Even though the woman in front of him was his elder, he had nothing good to say: "That girl is the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, a strategic weapon of a country. She should be monitored more closely. It was Mito-sama who didn't allow it. He said that monitoring and guarding would not make people willingly stay in Konoha. She should be kept with love."

"The illusory emotions are not as good as the actual surveillance, Mito-sama, it is all because of your one thought that led to the result today."

"Danzo!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his companions with dissatisfaction, and Danzo Shimura kept silent.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "It's right to let Kushina truly like Konoha, but the protection of the Anbu is also necessary. Mito-sama, after Kushina comes back this time, increase the protection of the Anbu."

Uzumaki Mito was speechless, looking somewhat helpless, she could only nod.

In the past, when she was in good health, she could protect Kushina a little, but this time when she was in poor health, something went wrong.

She will eventually die, and Konoha will be the only one left to protect Kushina.

perhaps......

Uzumaki Mito thought of Uchiha Shigeka, and him. He would definitely be able to protect Kushina well, but...

Uzumaki Mito sighed inwardly, Uchiha, there will definitely be some disputes in the future.

She looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, Tobirama's two disciples. She vaguely remembered their childhood and youth. They were full of vigor and vitality, just like thriving seedlings.

Now, they have become big trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, deep roots, but when Uzumaki Mito looks at them with his turbid eyes, he realizes that although the trees are good, the roots are not well maintained.

I don’t know what the future of Konoha, founded by Hashirama, will be in the hands of these two people.

She can't see...

"Hokage-sama, Assistant-sama, Mito-sama."

An Anbu walked in and reported, "Uzumaki Kushina is back. It was Uchiha Shigeka who saved her."

"Uchiha Shigeka?"

Shimura Danzo frowned.

The Anbu nodded and continued, "Not only that, the five spies were also captured by Uchiha Shigeka. After investigation, it can be confirmed that they are ninjas from Kumogakure."

"It is indeed the Kumogakure ninja! Hiruzen, hand them over to me, and I will make them reveal how many Kumogakure spies there are in Konoha."

Shimura Danzo's eyes were stern: "Perhaps, we can also find spies from other ninja villages from them."

......

Chapter 29: The butterfly flaps its wings

"grandmother!"

With tears in her eyes, Uzumaki Kushina threw herself into Grandma Mito's arms like a bird into the forest.

Uzumaki Mito stroked Kushina's little head in his arms and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, you are back safely."

She looked up at Uchiha Shigeka and said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Shigeka. If it weren't for you, Kushina would be in danger."

Uchiha Shigeka shook his head and said, "It was all because of Kushina's cleverness that she used her hair as a mark. This way, I was able to find out Kushina's whereabouts, defeat the ninja who kidnapped Kushina, and save her."

Uchiha Shigeka's words caused everyone in the room to look at Kushina's hair.

Only then did I realize that Kushina's hair was uneven, some long and some short.

Uzumaki Mito stroked Kushina's hair lovingly.

"Thanks to you for saving Kushina, Shigeka." Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Shigeka's shoulder and said, "Otherwise, if they succeeded in taking them away from the Land of Fire, the consequences would be disastrous."

Uchiha Shigeka seemed to have just remembered something and asked the Third Hokage: "Hokage-sama, why did those people take Kushina away? I heard them say that they would take her directly to the Raikage."

He was puzzled, as if asking, is Kushina so valuable? She actually involved a big figure like the Raikage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen observed Uchiha Shigeka and sighed when he saw that his doubts were true.

Didn't the Uchiha clan's higher-ups tell him about Kushina's identity?

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen figure out something. It was a well-known fact that Uchiha Tarikai was optimistic about Shigeka and was trying to win him over, but now it seemed that the effect of the winning was not good.

"Mito-sama, would you like to talk to Shigeka..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to reveal something, and having one more person know the secret would increase the risk, but at the same time it would also bring them closer together.

He is optimistic about Uchiha Shigeka and wants to build a common circle with him.

"Hurizen! This is confidential!"

Ever since Uchiha Shigeka came in, Shimura Danzo had never taken his eyes away. His eyes were sinister, and his slightly narrowed eyes were shining with cold light, like a hawk, and he was observing and sizing him up.

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, he stopped observing and quickly shouted: "Don't forget, he is Uchiha, you won't forget what happened."

The Sharingan can control the tailed beasts.

Danzo Shimura really wanted to say loudly to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Wake up!

I know you think highly of Uchiha Shigeka, but you won’t tell him such a secret!

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, "Shigeka will know about this sooner or later, I just informed him in advance. Besides, Danzo, Mito-sama is also happy about it."

"Kushina is the vessel of the tailed beast, the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha."

It was at this moment that Uzumaki Mito directly announced Kushina's identity.

This made Shimura Danzo confused, and then he became angry: "Lord Mito, you......!"

Uzumaki Mito suddenly laughed, and although it caused a coughing fit afterwards, Kushina quickly patted the old man's back to smooth out his blocked breathing.

"Ahem..." Uzumaki Mito stopped coughing and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not a secret now."

"......Humph!"

Shimura Danzo's face turned pale and he left the room directly.

They all followed him like a demon. Was Uchiha Shigeka really worth their attention? Even the most closely guarded secrets were revealed.

Have they forgotten about Uchiha Madara and the subsequent rebellion of the Uchiha clan?!

This clan is completely untrustworthy and is a time bomb that could threaten Konoha at any time.

And now, Uchiha Shigeka has so many people supporting and optimistic about him, Shimura Danzo is angry and vigilant at the same time.

When did this Uchiha brat gather so many people around him...

Shimura Danzo's departure actually made the atmosphere in the room much warmer.

Uchiha Shigeka listened to the story about the Jinchūriki. After listening, he looked at Uzumaki Kushina with heartache.

Uzumaki Mito observed and saw that there was nothing strange in Shigeka's eyes, and he felt very sorry for Kushina.

The malicious perception could prove that Chonghua's emotions at this moment were real, which made Uzumaki Mito feel deeply relieved.

Kushina was catching up with her cruel fate, but once she noticed Shigeka's emotions she put it to the back of her mind and buried herself in her arms with a rosy face.

Uzumaki Mito patted Kushina's head with a smile.

Apparently, Kushina has found the love that fills her container.

"So, Kumogakure is planning to kidnap Kushina to be the vessel for the Eight-Tails?"

Uchiha Shigeka's face was serious: "After all, the Eight-Tails just rioted a while ago."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "The sealing technology of the Hidden Cloud Village is backward, and the Jinchūriki cannot contain the Eight-Tails, and it often riots. And Kushina, as a vessel for the Nine-Tails, is very good. In the Uzumaki clan, there are not many psychics like Kushina who can match the Nine-Tails."

"Since Kushina is suitable to be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she is naturally suitable to be the Jinchuriki of other tailed beasts. I think this is why the Raikage targeted her."

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and sighed, "Perhaps we should ask more children of the Uzumaki clan to come with Kushina, so that it can also confuse the outside world."

"I was negligent."

Uzumaki Mito also felt that the original decision was a mistake, and that she shouldn't have allowed only Kushina, a member of the Uzumaki clan, to come.

The Uzumaki clan is good at sealing techniques, has a huge amount of chakra, and has strong vitality. In addition, the first generation of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was Uzumaki Mito. Now that she is about to die, other ninja villages know that the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki cannot be delayed.

So when the news came that Uzumaki Kushina had entered Konoha, it caught their attention.

Uchiha Shigeka complained in his heart, so where is the secret?

The other ninja villages knew that Kushina was the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the well-connected ninjas, jonin, and major families in the village were also aware of Kushina's identity.

This is not confidential at all.

"Now that the plan to kidnap Kushina has failed, I'm sure the war in the north will soon be over."

Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that the other party launched a war to attract their attention and thus reduce the difficulty for Kumogakure spies to steal people.

The person was indeed stolen, but he was also rescued.

Sarutobi Hiruzen planned to dispatch Anbu to monitor and protect the clan strictly, and must not let anyone sneak into the clan to steal people again.

The village of Yunyin is in urgent need of reconstruction, and since the attempt to steal people has failed, there is no need to carry out the war in the north.

Uchiha Shigeka had a different voice. He tried to speak: "Every time the Eight-Tails riots, it will bring losses to Kumogakure. Even if the village can be rebuilt continuously, it will not be safe if the hidden danger of the Eight-Tails is not resolved."

"Hmm? Chonghua, what do you mean..."

Thinking of what happened in the original work, Uchiha Shigeka decided to flap the wings of his butterfly.

"The Uzumaki clan is suitable to be the Jinchūriki of the tailed beasts, and they possess a powerful sealing technique that can make the tailed beasts bow."

Uchiha Shigeka said slowly: "This is my hypothesis. Could it be that kidnapping Kushina is also a cover for Kumogakure to attract attention?"

......

Chapter 30: Notify the Uzumaki clan to move!

Uchiha Shigeka's assumption was very bold.

Uzumaki Mito and Sarutobi Hiruzen both looked at him blankly, and they had the same thought at the same time.

Chonghua is too imaginative.

"The Uzumaki clan has the psychic they need, and the sealing technique they need. It is possible that Kumogakure will take action against the Uzumaki clan."

Uchiha Shigeka continued, "Hokage-sama, what about the sealing techniques of other ninja villages?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen followed Shigeka's train of thought and continued, "The sealing techniques of the Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village came from a Buddhist temple. They are not as sophisticated as the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, but they are good enough."

"Over the years, the tailed beasts of Sand Village and Iwagakure have rarely rioted."

Uchiha Shigeka nodded. Unlike the impression that Shukaku was always rioting during Gaara's time, the old monk Fenfuku at this time got along well with Shukaku, so naturally there were fewer riots.

He didn't know about the Iwagakure Village, but Lao Shi and Han were strong-willed and rarely let the tailed beasts succeed, and there were few riots.

"We know the Hidden Cloud Village well. Their sealing technology is very poor. The Eight-Tails often breaks through the Jinchuriki's restraints and riots. The same is true for the Two-Tails. The Hidden Mist Village..."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen talked about the Hidden Mist Village, he paused and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"They haven't established a Jinchūriki system yet. It's not that they don't want to, but they can't do it."

It cannot be said that the Land of Water has no research on Jinchūriki, but it can only be said that it is better than nothing.
