Chapter 49 I'll only feel guilty if he doesn't die
After confirming Danzo's complete death, Tsunade took Minato to the mansion where Mito Uzumaki lived.
"elder sister!"
"Watergate!"
Upon seeing the two return, Nawaki and Kushina quickly came to greet them.
"Hello, Grandma Mito."
Minato greeted Mito Uzumaki politely, and Mito waved back with a smile, signaling Minato to come forward.
Her aged fingers gently stroked the small head of blond hair, and Mito asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Minato shook his head: "No."
"It's good that you're not injured."
Mito grasped Minato's hand: "Is that guy targeting you?"
"It's Kushina, but the root cause is still me," Minato said softly.
Upon hearing Minato's explanation, Mito immediately understood what was going on and couldn't help but sigh.
"That Danzo kid hasn't learned anything good from Tobirama all these years, all he's learned is a bellyful of scheming. Now he's reaping what he sowed. Don't feel guilty."
"I have no psychological burden."
Minato smiled shyly: "To be honest, I'd feel guilty if he didn't die."
"That's how it should be."
Mito chuckled. Her husband was a mild-mannered, easygoing man, but she wasn't.
The vortex clan's vigorous vitality not only brings them abundant physical strength, but also an impatience caused by excess energy, which results in almost all of them having a fiery temper.
Mito was the same when he was young.
Even though she's old now, she rarely leaves her home and is always followed by secret agents wherever she goes.
But in reality, if Minato hadn't acted so quickly, she would probably have already reached Root and hung Danzo up and whipped him.
During this period, not to mention the Eight Trigrams Seal, even the Four Symbols Seal was not very perfect, and it was impossible to completely seal the tailed beasts like it was during Naruto's time.
In other words, she single-handedly sealed the complete Nine-Tails inside her body!
What does it mean to reach a reconciliation with a tailed beast and then be able to use its chakra?
Why not just hang the Nine-Tails up and slap it directly at the opponent?
Surely no one really thinks that the secret agents around her are there to monitor her?
I was initially a little confused as to why Danzo would attack Minato.
Now that she heard what Minato said, it wasn't hard for her to guess what the other party was up to.
"Perhaps you should pay more attention to the people around you," Mito suggested.
"I've identified the target, but they were also coerced," Minato said softly.
"It's good that you know what's going on."
Mito nodded, increasingly satisfied with Minato. She gently patted Minato's hand: "You're still too young. Don't let the schemes of adults affect your emotions and judgment."
"Hiruzen is in that position, so there are always various kinds of helplessness. Don't blame him. Some things can't be forced. Just follow your heart."
"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your guidance."
Minato nodded humbly, showing no impatience whatsoever.
"You are Tsunade's disciple and have inherited Hashirama's Wood Release. In my eyes, you are also my junior. There's no need to be so reserved."
Mito smiled kindly: "How's your Wood Release technique coming along?"
"I've already learned all the ninjutsu on the scroll."
Minato said confidently, "I've also created some more practical techniques."
The parasitic spores that were just used on Danzo were one of them.
He created this ninjutsu after being inspired by the White Zetsu's Spore Technique while researching Wood Clone Seeds.
He takes advantage of the spores' stealth to trick enemies into absorbing the spores containing his chakra without their knowledge.
Once activated, these spores will take root in the enemy's flesh and blood, devouring the enemy's chakra and growing wildly, making them a very practical assassination-type ninjutsu!
Of course, this technique is not without its drawbacks. For example, if too many spores are released, they can be detected by sensory ninjas, and the chakra contained in the spores cannot be hidden from eye techniques and bloodline limits that can detect chakra, such as the Byakugan and Sharingan.
However, Minato had already prepared for this. He planned to combine it with the Hidden Mist Technique, using dense fog containing chakra to cover the spores.
The only ones who can ignore this threat are like the Aburame clan, who raise insects inside their bodies, can detect changes in their chakra immediately, and use the insects to eliminate the presence of spore parasites.
"Hashirama would be very happy if he knew that someone had inherited his ninjutsu."
Mito nodded in satisfaction, and then she tried to stand up with her crutches, but Minato quickly stepped forward to support her.
Mito took a scroll from the drawer and handed it to Minato: "This contains some training experience recorded by Hashirama. It might be useful to you."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Minato politely thanked him and respectfully accepted the gift.
"Alright, it's getting late. Xiao Gang, you should take them home early."
Mito said gently that although she wanted to let a few people stay, the core area of the sealing formation was engraved here, making it inconvenient for people to stay overnight.
"this……"
Tsunade's eyelids twitched, and her face lit up with displeasure at the mention of the incident: "Our house was blown up."
"Why don't you stay at my place for now?"
Minato suggested, "I'll use my Wood Release to fix the house when I get home from school tomorrow, and then there won't be any problems."
"Alright!"
Tsunade nodded in agreement and took her leave with the three children.
Mito sat by the window, watching the departing figures of the group, her expression gradually turning cold.
"Send the monkey over here."
"yes!"
The person in the shadows outside the window responded in a low voice and vanished in an instant.
…………
A few minutes later, at the Minato family home.
Kushina entered the room, looking somewhat nervous.
This was her first time visiting the Shuimen family home, even though they had known each other for so long.
Because Shuimen occasionally comes back to clean, the house remains tidy even though it has been uninhabited for six months.
"Your house is quite spacious!"
As soon as Nawaki entered the house, he casually wandered around the room, asking, "Where am I sleeping tonight?"
"There are only three rooms in the house. The teacher and Kushina each have one room, so you'll have to squeeze in with me."
Minato said casually, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.
Today was his first time killing someone, and he killed so many people, which made him somewhat psychologically uncomfortable.
However, it wasn't as extreme as some online reports suggested, involving vomiting and diarrhea...
"Oh...which is your room?" Nawaki asked.
"That's the one upstairs."
"And what about me?" Tsunade asked.
Minato pointed to the master bedroom: "If the teacher doesn't mind, you can stay in the master bedroom."
Tsunade glanced at it and shook her head: "This should be your parents' room, right? How can I stay here? It's too rude. You should stay here. Nawaki can stay with you, though."
"I'll sleep in your room. Kushina can stay in the guest room; it'll be more convenient for her to go to the bathroom at night. That's all for now. I'll go back to my room."
Without giving anyone a chance to object, she walked upstairs without hesitation, her steps seeming lighter.
Watching Tsunade's departing figure, Kushina subconsciously raised her hand and opened her mouth.
No, wait a minute…
Actually, I don't mind the trouble!
