In Konoha: I will spread the will of conquest throughout the ninja world.

The Thousand Hands Old House is a genuine cultural relic.

Despite being a powerful clan with a history spanning millennia, the Senju clan still possessed an astonishingly large fortune, even though they had donated many things to the construction of Konoha after its establishment.

Isogen didn't throw the Mutual Explosion Tags on the ground because Kushina and Hyuga Mizuki were watching the battle, but even when it was set off like fireworks, the power of this forbidden technique was still terrifying.

Isogen said with a smile, "Grandma Mito, you have to reimburse me for the explosive tags."

Mito Uzumaki's face darkened, and she glared at him irritably.

You brat, I haven't even held you accountable for damaging cultural relics yet!

"Where did you get so many explosive tags?"

"I borrowed it from Meiyue."

After playing the staring contest for a while, Mito Uzumaki suppressed her shock and asked, "Are there any hidden dangers with this secret technique of yours?"

Mito Uzumaki didn't care whether the secret technique created by Isogen was powerful or not, as long as he could protect himself.

During the Second Shinobi World War, her only grandson died on the battlefield. Unable to accept the loss of her brother and boyfriend, her granddaughter chose to leave Konoha after the war to clear her mind.

The already sparsely populated old house of the Thousand Hands has almost completely lost its vitality.

She had long regarded Yuge Shiki as her grandson. Although this grandson always liked to nag her, life is rare indeed. How many ninjas in the ninja world could live to her age? And how many could be naged by their grandchildren at this age?

She no longer wanted to see her child outlive her.

"Not at the moment."

"Then let's take our time searching." Mito Uzumaki nodded slightly, then said with a hint of regret, "You shouldn't have told me about this secret technique."

If she had known that Isogen was going to pull off something big, she would have sent away all the ANBU troops stationed nearby. Now…

The secret agents stationed around the training ground felt a chill run down their spines.

"The methods we develop are meant to be shown to others."

Mito Uzumaki remained noncommittal, then narrowed her eyes slightly and tentatively asked, "Yu Ge, tell me honestly, what are your thoughts about Danzo... the one with bandages we met at the Hokage Building?"

"Grandma Mito is so perceptive," Igogami remarked.

The perception of ordinary members of the Uzumaki clan after awakening Kagura's Mind's Eye is already beyond the norm, but Uzumaki Mito is even more extraordinary. Not only is she exceptionally talented with a rich bloodline, but she has also controlled the Nine-Tails for decades. Over the years, even she herself cannot say where the limit of her perception is.

I want to blow him up.

Mito Uzumaki's lips twitched as she looked into Isogen's sincere eyes and remained silent for a few seconds.

Why?

"He came to the orphanage once and the director was in a bad mood. Then he came again and the director disappeared for a year." Wu Xian said calmly, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

This child has such a pure and kind heart.

Mito Uzumaki sighed inwardly.

Having a child who is too smart isn't necessarily a good thing.

As for what Gyūgen said about blowing up Danzo, she could tell he wasn't joking. Given the right opportunity, Gyūgen would not hesitate to send all the explosive tags to Danzo.

Never mind how it was delivered, the point is it's been delivered.

Igogami was unaware of Mito Uzumaki's inner thoughts; if he had, he would have given her a thumbs up.

Grandma, you have a really good eye for people.

If it weren't for the uncertainty surrounding Danzo's development of the Sharingan, and the state of Izanagi's backup energy preparation, and the fact that he couldn't be killed at the moment, he would have already blown up the Hokage Building earlier.

as a result of?

If Danzo hesitates to act because he is the so-called Dark Lord of the Ninja World, the leader of Root, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's best friend, that would be a disgrace to his will of dominance!

"What are your plans lately? You probably won't be staying in the hospital for much longer," Mito Uzumaki pointed out the key issue.

A year ago, Isogen uncovered four spies and caused a hidden loss to the forces of Kumogakure. A year later, he killed two special Jonin from Root with unstoppable momentum.

With such merits, Hiruzen Sarutobi could not possibly allow Igarashi to continue wasting his time in the village, whether from the village's perspective or from any other angle.

However, ordinary ninja academy students are led by their instructors to carry out missions after graduation, and their first encounter with blood is with bandits and mountain bandits.

Isogen immediately raised the bar: who will lead his Jonin mission? What level should his first official mission be?

Are you suggesting that Hiruzen Sarutobi should personally take to the field?

After thinking it over, she still felt it was unreliable.

Admittedly, Hiruzen Sarutobi's three subordinate ninjas were renowned throughout the ninja world, and the two geniuses from commoner backgrounds were incredibly successful, but she still thought this way.

Tsunade's success was due not only to her hard work and her teachings, but also to the strength of her bloodline. Orochimaru and Jiraiya also achieved remarkable success, but in her perception, since the end of the war, Orochimaru's temperament has become increasingly cold and mysterious, and Jiraiya's actions have become increasingly enigmatic.

Hmph, being led around by a bunch of toads, she even suspects that Jiraiya will eventually switch sides if things continue like this.

As expected, it still takes the older generation to handle things.

"Fifty strings! Fifty strings! What kind of technique is that? It looks amazing!"

Are you injured?

Isogen gently patted Hinata Mizuki's smooth black hair and casually tapped Kushina's smooth forehead.

The cherry tomato was furious.

She threw all her concern and worry to the winds; she was determined to bite this ungrateful bastard to death today!

Mito Uzumaki watched the heartwarming scene of the three little ones playing and laughing with a smile, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

I'm getting old.

"Yu Ge, go back and prepare. You'll be going on a mission soon."

Kushina perked up her ears: "A mission? He hasn't graduated yet, where would he do a mission? I haven't graduated yet!"

Mito Uzumaki glanced at her, unhurriedly saying, "What's the rush? If you have Yu Ge's skills, you can do it too."

She knew in her heart that even if Kushina's strength met the standards, the village would not allow her to roam freely throughout the ninja world like an ordinary ninja.

Jinchuriki who can bear the tailed beast are a rare breed in the entire ninja world.

With the Uzumaki clan either dead, scattered, or in hiding, selecting a Jinchūriki has become a major challenge, even in Konoha. It's only because the Uzumaki clan has the sealing techniques that they have such a strong foundation; otherwise...

Thinking of the vanished Uzushio Village, Mito Uzumaki felt a pang of loss.

Inside the seal, Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes lit up.

opportunity!

Splash!

The moment the idea popped into his head, countless chains that appeared out of nowhere taught the Nine-Tails a lesson once again.

"Mito Uzumaki, I...#￥@&*%"

Yuuka Yuuka, along with Hinata Mizuki, wanted to improve Danzo's reputation and garner more votes.

Before leaving, I took a stack of explosive tags with me. I didn't count how many, but there were at least several hundred. As expected, these powerful families have a rich foundation.

Isogen had no intention of harming his own clan; instead, he was planning to spread his will of domination to the ninja clans of Konoha and even the entire ninja world someday.

The radiant light of the will of the hegemon shines equally upon all!

The two who had been inseparable walked away. Kushina slowly put away the resentful expression on her face and looked at Mito Uzumaki, who was deep in thought, and couldn't help but ask.

"Grandma, is something wrong with that guy, Isogen?"

"Hmm? Why would you think that?"

"Because Grandma has been like this ever since he came."

Mito Uzumaki paused for a moment, then chuckled and, without hiding anything, told her about the diagnosis made by the hospital's vice president, Minamino Kimura, and his observations over the past year.

Kushina's mouth gaped open as she listened, unable to close it.

The information was too complicated for her to process; she only remembered one sentence.

"Is Yu Ge sick?!"

Mito was speechless.

Kushina was getting anxious.

She reflected on the changes in Wu Xian's personality over the past year.

It started out normally, then became a little indifferent, and then recently suddenly became cheerful.

She thought it was just a boy's mood swings, never imagining that he was actually sick!

"No, no, I have to think of something."

Seeing her granddaughter so anxious her head was practically steaming, Mito Uzumaki was about to comfort her and tell her to leave everything to them, the adults, when Kushina suddenly looked up and spoke with a firm and resolute tone.

"Grandma Mito, I want to be a doctor!"

"Uh-huh?"
