Master, please become the Hokage

What to say?

Minato Namikaze's eyes flickered, not knowing how to start.

If he had not seen the "original future" predicted by the Great Toad Immortal, he would not have been so worried.

But after he experienced the memories that felt like real life...

It's like starting the second round.

In the observed future, everything is so real.

Including falling in love with Kushina, becoming the Fourth Hokage, Kushina's pregnancy, and the birth of...Naruto.

Naruto...

Uzumaki Naruto, his own child.

As if he really existed...

"Watergate."

Just as Minato Namikaze was lost in his memories, a noble and steady female voice sounded.

Then, a woman with a noble demeanor and indescribable beauty walked out of the house.

She had the same bright red hair as Kushina, but it was tied into two buns at the back of her head.

She was dressed in a white robe, looking ethereal, like a goddess from heaven.

The beautiful and noble woman in front of me, who looked to be in her 2s or 30s, was one of the representatives of the shift from "the original future" to "a brand new future".

"Mito-sama..."

Minato Namikaze immediately nodded and murmured the other party's name respectfully.

The wife of the First Hokage, Uzumaki Mito, who was supposed to be dead.

After the tailed beast was extracted, he survived.

why?

Chapter 10. Gorgeous Uzumaki Mito!? Uzumaki Mito!

"Lord Mito, I have always had a question in my mind... Please allow me to ask, how did you survive after the tailed beast was extracted..."

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath and asked seriously.

According to the "original future" observed by the Great Toad Sage, Uzumaki Mito should have died after the Nine-Tails was taken away.

The Nine-Tails was incorporated into the body of the new Jinchūriki, Kushina, making Kushina the second Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.

"This..."

Uzumaki Mito didn't keep it a secret, because it really wasn't a big deal.

"Back then, that kid, Rope Tree, didn't want me to die... so he started trying to find a solution..."

When he learned that his grandmother's nine-tailed fox was going to be taken away, Shengshu was the saddest person.

When mentioning his deceased grandson, a trace of sadness suddenly flashed in Uzumaki Mito's eyes.

"What could a little kid come up with? I thought he was joking until later..."

later.

The kid from Rope Tree told him to try to cast the "Seal of a Hundred Healings" while releasing the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The Nine-Tailed Fox...was actively taken into the body by the Uzumaki clan's secret technique, the "Vajra Seal".

When unsealing, it is almost the reverse operation to release the Nine-Tailed Fox.

According to common sense in the ninja world, if a Jinchūriki is taken away, the tailed beast will definitely die.

This is an iron rule.

"But I used the Hundred Healings Technique... and I survived..."

The diamond-shaped mark on Uzumaki Mito's forehead is clearly visible.

Perhaps in some world lines, Uzumaki Mito does not know the Hundred Healings Technique.

But in the Naruto world where Sarutobi Ryo is, Uzumaki Mito can do it.

"I see......"

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly, understanding.

The Hundred Healings Technique is the ultimate forbidden technique that is achieved after the two S-level ninjutsu of Yin Sealing and Creation Regeneration are practiced to the extreme.

At the beginning, the Yin Seal can only be wrapped around the face and head.

As your practice progresses, it can slowly extend to the neck, upper body, arms... and finally to the lower limbs and feet.

The Yin Seal that can cover the entire body is called the "Hundred Heroes Technique"!

All covered parts can enjoy the nourishment of a large amount of chakra, thus continuing to regenerate.

Uzumaki Mito released the Nine-Tails and lost his vitality, but regained his vitality due to the Hundred Healings Technique.

One plus one minus...

No, this probably also has something to do with the Uzumaki clan’s bloodline.

When Kushina was born, it was detected that she possessed unique chakra, and she was therefore chosen to be the next Jinchūriki.

And Uzumaki Mito... is the daughter of Uzumaki Ashina, the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan, and the real princess of the Uzumaki clan!

In terms of bloodline, it is more refined and the vitality is stronger.

The combination of these two factors ultimately allowed her to survive and maintain her youthful appearance.

She looks like a young woman.

Minato Namikaze, who opened the "Second Round Memory", analyzed this in his mind.

Then the problem is coming.

How did the deceased senior Nawaki come up with this plan?

Or rather, he shouldn't have thought of it.

A face...emerged from Minato Namikaze's mind.

"Master Liang...did you do this?"

Uzumaki Mito: "Minato."

"Yes." Minato Namikaze immediately focused when his name was called.

"You must become Hokage."

Mito Uzumaki stared at the blond boy in front of him.

He and Kushina stood together, a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

Even for Kushina, Namikaze Minato will become Hokage.

Because...the Jinchūriki needs to be loved, only in this way can he truly suppress the Nine-Tails.

Just like the love between him and Hashirama back then.

"Mito-sama, I don't understand..."

Minato Namikaze looked up at the beautiful woman.

He accepted Uzumaki Mito's instructions, but one thing was still unclear.

"Why...why would you support me instead of...Master Liang?"

Senju Nawaki, Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Ryo...the three of them were together back then.

All three of them are outstanding talents.

After Nawaki's death, Uzumaki Mito should have supported Sarutobi Ryo.

But at that time... Uzumaki Mito immediately began to instruct Namikaze Minato.

This choice made Minato Namikaze a little confused.

After all, he had not yet rescued the captured Kushina at that time, so there was naturally no question of them falling in love.

"..."

Uzumaki Mito was silent.

Kushina, who was watching from the side, was observing the situation. Just when she thought that Mito-sama might reprimand Minato and was about to speak up for him...

Mito-sama's reaction, however, was beyond her expectations.

"Ever since Rope Tree died, I've always treated you as another grandson of mine..."

Uzumaki Mito's tone sounded rather conscientious.

It does seem a bit out of place compared to her bright and youthful appearance.

Namikaze Minato listened quietly without saying a word.

"And more importantly...that kid Sarutobi Ryo doesn't catch my eye..."

Uzumaki Mito's words were ambiguous, but Namikaze Minato suddenly understood.

If he didn't have the memory of the second round, he wouldn't be able to read the deep meaning implied in this sentence.

"Mito-sama... possesses a special ability that no other Uzumaki clan member possesses. It is said that this ability has been passed down from generation to generation by the clan leader..."

Its name is... "Maleficent Perception"!

That's right, it's malicious perception, not the ability of a perfect Jinchūriki.

Because Minato Namikaze knew it clearly.

Konoha's attitude towards the Nine-Tails is to keep it sealed.

Neither Mito-sama nor Kushina had ever used the power of the Nine-Tails in their entire lives.

Since he has never used the power of the Nine-Tails, he naturally cannot be considered a perfect Jinchūriki.

So, this is Mito-sama's unique ability to sense malicious intent.

——Although the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki also possesses this ability.

In other words, Lord Mito sensed that Master Liang had malice in his heart...even evil.

Minato Namikaze's mind raced, and all the memories of Sarutobi Ryo flashed through his mind.

From his gloomy and aloof childhood, to his stern demeanor during his time at ninja school, to his aloofness after becoming a ninja, and now to his open attempts to test and even rebel against the higher-ups...

"Could it be that..."

Minato Namikaze thought of the previous report in the Hokage Building.

The fact that Young Master Liang summoned the slug.

"...Master Liang, did he also receive a hint from the Immortal?"

Minato Namikaze thought that Sarutobi Ryo had also obtained the future predicted by the sage of the holy land.

However, this matter still needs to be confirmed.

"Miyato-sama, I have another question...Excuse me, does the Slug Sage have the ability to predict the future?"

The Great Toad Sage has the ability to predict the future because of his enormous chakra.

Minato Namikaze wondered if the Slug Sage had the same ability.

"possible."

Uzumaki Mito's answer left Namikaze Minato silent.

"Of the ninja who visited the Wet Bone Forest and saw the Slug Sage's true form, only Hashirama survived."

So it's just a possibility.

After all, the length of the Slug Immortal's body is unfathomable.

With such a huge body, the chakra it gathers may even exceed that of the Great Toad Sage.
