My older sister is Kushina

In the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze's expression darkened after hearing Hanamichi Uzumaki's words. After a moment of silence, he spoke gravely, "Ado, if Killer Bee is truly being manipulated, who do you think it could be?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi thought for a moment: "Based on the current information, it is difficult to judge. If the person who can most easily control Killer Bee should be Kumogakure, then it seems that there is no need to control him through the Cursed Seal Technique. If it is not the Kumogakure delegation, then the person who can silently cast the Cursed Seal Technique on Killer Bee without the Kumogakure delegation is probably extraordinary."

As Minato listened to Hanamichi Uzumaki's analysis, a figure quickly came to mind: the unidentified masked man who was the instigator of the Nine-Tails incident.

He had fought the masked man, who was very powerful and could control the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Could it be him?"

Minato Namikaze secretly guessed that the person he suspected most was the masked man. After the Nine-Tails incident, he and the Konoha leadership immediately arranged for people to investigate the masked man, but so far they have not found any valuable information.

He took a deep breath: "Ado, do you remember I told you about that masked man who controls the Nine-Tails?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded. Although the matter of the Nine-Tails incident was confidential, Namikaze Minato had not hidden it from him. The Fourth Hokage had told him about what happened on the night of the Nine-Tails.

Uzumaki Hanamichi naturally knew the identity of the mysterious masked man in Namikaze Minato's circle; that masked man was none other than Uchiha Obito, one of Namikaze Minato's "dead" disciples.

However, Uzumaki Kato did not tell Namikaze Minato about Obito Uchiha's identity. It involved too many secrets, and even if he told him everything at once, Namikaze Minato probably wouldn't believe him. More importantly, the things he knew were from a "God's" perspective, so how would he explain how he knew this information? It would probably be a very troublesome matter.

Minato Namikaze continued, "I think it might be related to that mysterious masked man. The Nine-Tails incident last time already caused a lot of trouble for Konoha."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "The man who can fight you and control the Nine-Tails is indeed extraordinary. We must be wary of him."

Seeing Killer Bee's condition and the disappearance of the cursed seal in the arena, he actually guessed that it might be related to Obito Uchiha, which was a coincidence with Minato Namikaze's idea.

Obito Uchiha is indeed a huge problem, and he could threaten Konoha at any time.

However, he couldn't confront Obito Uchiha right now. Obito's whereabouts were mysterious and unpredictable, and he had a very powerful force behind him. Another important reason was that he didn't want to expose himself before he had gathered enough power.

Minato Namikaze: "After the Nine-Tails incident, the Konoha leadership arranged for a secret investigation, but unfortunately, so far they haven't found any valuable information."

Whirlpool Flower said, "We are in the open while the enemy is in the shadows. We need to prepare for multiple scenarios as much as possible."

Minato Namikaze nodded, then changed the subject: "Ado, your Uzumaki clan identity should be considered exposed in today's battle against Killer Bee."

Uzumaki Hanamichi was not surprised. He had already anticipated this outcome when he used the Adamantine Lock. The Adamantine Lock can only be used by those with the red-haired bloodline of the Uzumaki clan. Most people in the arena may not know this, but those who know a little about the Uzumaki clan should be able to guess their identity.

The next moment, Uzumaki Hanaka said, "They probably don't know your exact identities yet. Someone from the Konoha higher-ups will probably ask you about it."

Minato Namikaze: "Yes, they are very curious about you, but I haven't revealed your specific identity to them. Someone might be investigating you secretly, so you need to be careful lately."

Whirlpool Flower Path: "Let them investigate if they want."

As for his identity as a member of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Hanamichi doesn't care much now. He had kept it hidden before because his strength wasn't enough, but now it doesn't matter much. He still has the strength to protect himself, and he feels that his identity will be exposed sooner or later. It's just a matter of time, but he hopes to delay it as much as possible.

Minato Namikaze: "I'll try my best to keep this a secret, but I'm afraid you can't hide your identity for long."

Whirlpool Flower Descent didn't care: "Let's hide it if we can."

Minato Namikaze: "Ado, given the current situation, I have one more task for you."

Uzumaki Hanamichi's expression shifted: "What mission?"

Minato Namikaze: "I hope you can monitor Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, on your own. If he is indeed being manipulated, then the person behind it may act again. If the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki were to fully transform into a Tailed Beast, it could pose a significant disaster for Konoha. In terms of Jinchuriki, your Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques are undoubtedly the best defense."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "I understand. I will personally monitor Killer Bee for the next period of time."

Minato Namikaze: "Both delegations will be staying in Konoha for a while longer, so I'll have to trouble you during that time."

The two in the Hokage's office talked for almost an hour before ending.

After ending his conversation with Minato Namikaze, Hanamichi Uzumaki left the Hokage's office. He then went to the Anbu and made some adjustments to his mission, since he had taken over the task of monitoring Killer Bee from the Fourth Hokage.

That afternoon, Hanamichi Uzumaki began his surveillance mission on Killer Bee, and he continued to carry out this mission in secret for the next few days.

The exchange between the two delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure did not end after the ninjutsu exchange meeting; the ninjutsu exchange was just one part of the overall exchange.

Uzumaki Hanamichi doesn't always monitor Killer Bee in his true form; sometimes it's through shadow clones. Also, his Midnight Diner reopened after a two-day break.

During the Midnight Diner's operating hours, his true form is basically always in the restaurant.

Kira visited Midnight Diner by appointment, and after that, she went there almost every day to have a few drinks and enjoy the food made by Uzumaki Hanamichi.

Uzumaki Hanamichi secretly monitored Killer Bee for several days. Killer Bee did not show any abnormalities after the Ninjutsu Exchange Conference. He also attended various exchanges with the delegation most of the time and basically went to the Midnight Diner every night.

Besides Killer Bee, a new customer, Mei Terumi and Ao are also regulars at the Midnight Diner every night.

The Midnight Diner seems to have become especially lively because of Killer Bee and Mei Terumi's nightly visits, especially Killer Bee, whose unrestrained personality and spontaneous rap performances add a lot of atmosphere to the Midnight Diner.
