Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

Perhaps it was because everyone in Konoha had become accustomed to the presence of that seemingly kind old lady.

They forget the fact that this adult is actually much older than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

You have to know that this person is from the same generation as the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

If you really count it, I am almost 70 years old this year.

In this era of short life expectancy, Uzumaki Mito's age is considered a rare longevity.

But the problem is, in addition to being the first Hokage's wife, she also has another powerful identity - the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Perhaps without the Nine-Tailed Fox in his body, Uzumaki Mito could have lived a few more years.

But considering that she needs to constantly fight the Nine-Tails in her body, it is a miracle that she can live to her current age.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, Uzumaki Mito had already had many health problems and was close to the end of his life.

But when this day really comes, it still catches people off guard.

So when everyone present heard the words of the Anbu, they all showed expressions of sadness or shock.

Tsunade's sadness was evident on her face.

For her, the joy of becoming a mother was instantly swept away by this news, and her heart was filled with sadness.

For Tsunade, her childhood growing up was filled with more memories of being with this elder.

Mito Uzumaki holds a special place in Tsunade's life.

But unlike her, Uzumaki Kushina who was standing next to her heard this.

In addition to sadness, there was also a hint of panic and fear in his eyes.

Kushina's expression was clearly seen by Kagura who was standing beside her.

Sighing secretly in her heart, Kagura naturally knew why Kushina had such a reaction.

Because Kagura knew very well that after Uzumaki Mito, Uzumaki Kushina would be chosen as the next generation of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Hearing that the Anbu did not mention her, Tsunade hurriedly spoke:

“Why wasn’t I mentioned?

Can’t I go over there?”

Hearing this, the Anbu remained silent and did not respond.

At this time, Kagura on the side spoke up:

"Well, it's okay, you come with us.

Bring the child along, so the elders can have one last look at him."

At this time, the Anbu anxiously spoke up to stop them:

"But..."

But before he could finish his words, Kagura interrupted:

“Don’t worry, it’s okay.

Even if something happens, I will take the responsibility. "

After saying that, he turned to the remaining two students and said:

“Just stay here and wait.

Please keep an eye on Yamato for me.

We will be back soon.”

The two nodded, but they looked at Kushina with some confusion.

At this time, the two did not understand why the Hokage's order only mentioned that Teacher Kagura should take Kushina with her.

This cannot be blamed on them, because the fact that Kushina was chosen as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was not told to anyone else in Konoha.

In fact, in the original plot, not even the "Three Ninjas", Tsunade herself, knew this news.

Only a few high-ranking officials of Konoha knew about this decision.

But in this world line, because of Kagura, Tsunade has more or less guessed some of it.

After Kagura gave the instructions, Tsunade quickly picked up Chiyu and walked out of the room.

As she reached Kushina, she saw the fear on the girl's face and couldn't help but hold her hand.

Feeling the warmth coming from Tsunade, Kushina's face regained a trace of calmness.

Looking back at the two of them, Kagura said in a deep voice:

"Okay, let's go."

The situation was urgent. After a quick run, everyone followed the Anbu to the Hokage Building.

The ANBU member stopped outside the gate, while Kagura and the others walked straight in.

This time, they did not go to the Hokage's office as usual.

Instead, after passing through a long passage, he arrived at a huge basement under the Hokage Building.

Slowly pushing open the door, everyone saw Uzumaki Mito sitting in the middle of a sealing formation.

And beside her, the three giants of Konoha's high-level leadership, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu, were accompanying her.

At this moment, the joy on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face in the morning was gone, only sadness.

To him, Uzumaki Mito is their elder and a Konoha hero worthy of their respect.

Now that this lord is about to die, even they can't help but feel a sense of sadness in their hearts.

So even when he saw Tsunade, who shouldn't be there, standing in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything.

As for Uzumaki Mito who was surrounded by them, he did not look like a dying man at all at this moment.

She sat there calmly as usual, looking at Kagura and the others with a kind face.

But when she saw Tsunade and the baby boy in her arms, a gleam of light flashed in her originally calm eyes.

Chapter 84 Sealing Ceremony

She looked at her granddaughter in front of her, slowly raised her hand and greeted:

"Child, come here."

After hearing Mito's words, Tsunade, who had been enduring, finally couldn't help crying and hurriedly walked towards Mito.

When she came closer, Mito first slowly wiped away her tears, and then slowly looked at the child in her arms.

The wrinkled hand stroked Qianyu's face and said lovingly:

"Is this your child?

It really looks like you when you were a kid..."

Hearing this, Tsunade cried even harder.

After comforting her for a while, Mito said:

"Okay, you have to stay strong and live on from now on.

I've lived long enough.

It's time to go down and find that old man."

As she spoke, she looked at Kushina not far away and waved at her.

Seeing her actions, Kushina hurried over.

Mito grabbed her hand and said with a hint of apology on his face:

"I'm sorry to trouble you in the future, but I believe you can do better than me."

At this moment, there was no more fear on Kushina's face, but she nodded with determination.

In fact, when she was brought to Konoha several years ago, she knew very well what she would do in the future.

So after the initial panic, she has now regained her composure.

Mito was also relieved to see Kushina's actions.

She touched the heads of the two people in front of her, then turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others and said:

“Well, now that we’ve said goodbye, let’s get started.

After all, I am an old woman, I am afraid I can't hold on for too long."

Hearing this, although there was some reluctance on her face, Tsunade still suppressed her sadness and retreated to Kagura's side.

As for Kushina, she nodded obediently and then walked to the other side of the sealing circle.

On the ground of this basement, there is a huge sealing array.

Dense runes covered the entire ground, except for two small circles in the magic circle. Uzumaki Mito was sitting in one of the circles.

Seeing this, Kushina walked into another small circle without anyone reminding her.

After hearing Mito's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen still looked sad, but as the Hokage, he still had to do his job well.

So after Mito and Kushina stood in their respective positions, he and the other two Konoha high-ranking officials slowly walked to the edge of the sealing formation.

Before starting, he said to Kagura solemnly:

"If anything unexpected happens later, I'll have to rely on your Wood Release."

Hearing this, Kagura nodded in response.

Yes, that's why Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others called Kagura over.

During this year, Kagura took the initiative to confess to Sarutobi Hiruzen the secret that she possessed Wood Release.

The reason why he confessed to Sarutobi Hiruzen at this moment was naturally because of Yamato's existence.

Kagura attributed the reason why she possessed Wood Release to Orochimaru's research results.

After all, Orochimaru has now created a cyborg that can combine the Sharingan and Wood Release, so it is not too surprising that he can allow Kagura to possess Wood Release.
