"What, you discovered the Uzumaki orphan?" The Third Hokage sat on the chair, showing a surprised look. For a moment, the hand that was originally going to hold the pipe stopped in mid-air.
"Yes, with red hair, huge chakra, and Kushina's identification, we can basically determine the identity of the other party." Uchiha Tatsu sat down with a serious look on his face.
"Kushina? Isn't she taking the Chuunin exams?"
Uchiha Chen nodded, and then quickly explained what happened before.
The Third Hokage sighed after hearing this: "I didn't expect that the orphan of Uzumaki would actually live in Kusayak Village..."
This is indeed something he did not expect. After that incident, the entire Uzumaki Village was destroyed, and a small number of Uzumaki ninjas were also massacred...
Over the years, he has also sent a large number of ninjas to search for the ninjas left by the Uzumaki clan, but he has always found nothing.
He thought that Kushina was the only Uzumaki clan member left in the entire ninja world, but he didn't expect that there was one left in Kusagakure Village.
This... is really unexpected.
"Unfortunately, the opponent is already a grass ninja, which is a bit tricky." The Third Hokage thought.
He naturally understood the purpose of the young man's visit. He just saw Kushina's tribe and wanted to ask him if he could take them in.
Why didn't the Third Hokage want to take her in? Kushina was just a person, and it was hard to say how talented her descendants would be as ninjas. It was also unclear whether they could shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.
If there is one more Uzumaki ninja, the risk in the future will naturally be reduced by one point.
But again, the other party is already a grass ninja, not to mention whether he can be loyal to Konoha... Once this matter spreads, the consequences will be disastrous.
First of all, Konoha's reputation will definitely be ruined; secondly, no village will dare to come to participate in the Chunin Examination held by Konoha.
Yes, who dares to come? Konoha and even the ninjas of Kusagakure Village want to take it for themselves. How can any village dare to rest assured of such an ugly appearance
The Third Hokage is a decent man, and he will not give up his good image of being "great and upright" for the sake of a mere Uzumaki orphan.
-not worth it.
Just when he was about to politely refuse, Uchiha Tatsumi, who was sitting below, sighed as if unintentionally: "That child's talent is really extraordinary. Her two companions just bit her arm and immediately resumed their investigation. carats and injuries.”
“…”
This is not only unusual, it is simply an extraordinary talent, okay? !
Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly thought of the First Hokage - the man who could quickly regain blood even while standing without any treatment.
However, the first Hokage could only restore his own blood, but could not transfer this ability to others... But this Uzumaki orphan could.
This... is simply a natural medical kit.
The Third Hokage even started to have sex. If this person is trained properly, he may be even more powerful than Tsunade's medical skills.
Then what kind of bike do you want...
As long as he can get a medical ninja who may be better than Tsunade, isn't it shameless? It's like no one cares.
The Third Hokage coughed and said solemnly: "Talents are just a trivial matter, but Konoha and Uzushio Village have been friends for generations. Now that we see the Uzumaki orphans, we must help them. This is the responsibility and obligation of allies, and we are bound to do so!"
Chen, now I give you a C-level task to take that child away from the training ground. "
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Just when Uchiha Tatsu opened the door and was about to walk out, the Third Hokage lowered his voice and said: "Keep your hands clean and don't leave any hidden dangers."
"clear."
… …
At this time, in a tent at the Konoha Camp at the training ground, the kettle burning on the fire boiled and made a soft sound, echoing in the small space.
Kushina and the girl named Kana sat side by side in front of the fire, with a bento scroll next to them.
Kana took the proffered tea and took a sip. The tea was still hot and had a very fragrant smell.
"It tastes great."
"Really? I stole this from Sister Tsunade's room." Kushina raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Tsunade-hime of the Konoha Sannin...? I've heard that she is a big shot."
"She is not a big shot. I will introduce you to her later. She will definitely like you very much."
"Really?" Kana was a little unsure, but listening to Kushina's voice, her heart gradually became warmer.
"Try this." Kushina said as she opened the scroll and took out a box with a fox pattern printed on it.
After opening the box, there were five large rice balls inside, as well as various dishes.
—Fragrant beef patties, sausages, fried eggs, tomato sauce and more.
"I made them all myself, for the five-day exam, but I can't guarantee how they taste..." Kushina said as she put the lid on her lap, and then asked Kana, "Do you want to taste it..."
"...Thank you." The girl said this again.
The rice balls felt heavy when picked up. Kana opened her mouth wide and bit into it. While eating, she couldn't control her tears. In order not to let Kushina see it, she quickly lowered her head.
"This is the most delicious thing I've ever had."
"Haha, Kana, you are exaggerating."
"real."
“It must be because I’m hungry.
"may be… "
"It must be, I'll eat one too." Kushina said happily while also picking up a rice ball.
In the small tent, shrouded in the warm light of the campfire, the two people had completely forgotten the time, just drinking and eating, and chatting happily.
What a happy and luxurious thing it is to be able to meet your own people in the vast sea of people.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Who is it?" Kushina stood up and asked warily.
After all, Uzumaki Kana is a grass ninja. If other Konoha genin see it, it may have a bad influence. That's why Minato let her hide in Kushina's tent. Now that there are sudden footsteps, naturally she has to ask cautiously. Just ask.
"it's me."
Uchiha Tatsu opened the tent and walked in slowly.
Kushina ran over excitedly, grabbed the young man's sleeve, and asked affectionately: "Chen, why are you here?"
Then, she sniffed her nose again and asked doubtfully: "Why do you smell of blood?"
Uchiha Tatsumi smiled and patted her head: "It's nothing, I just performed a simple task. What else are you going to eat? It tastes so good!"
Kushina chuckled: "I made the food."
Seeing a stranger come in, Kana twisted her body uneasily, but the chair made a squeaking sound, which made her become a little stiff.
Feeling the girl's uneasiness, Kushina turned her head, showed a smile, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, this is Chen. As long as he is here, you will be in no danger."
Uchiha Tatsu looked at the scene in front of him with amusement. Kushina, who had always been taken care of by others, now also learned to take care of others.
And so gentle.
It can be seen that the little fox really cares about his clansman.
"By the way, Chen, why are you here suddenly?"
"I came to see this grass ninja on orders from Uncle Hokage."
Kana's body stiffened again.
Kushina said anxiously: "Tatsu, Kana is a member of my tribe, please don't send her back to Kusagakure Village, okay?"
"I know, so now I'm here to ask her...if she is willing to join Konoha."
Kushina was stunned for a moment, and her anxious expression gradually changed into a slightly annoyed smile, and she patted him on the shoulder: "I hate it, then you were so serious just now, you scared me..."
"Please, this is a political matter. Of course it needs to be serious. You think it's just playing house."
Listening to the slightly complaining tone, Kushina rolled her eyes, but amid the conversation and laughter, there was no longer too much pressure.
However, when she turned her head, she saw Kana's hesitant expression.
"If I join Konoha, will the Grass Ninja Village agree?"
Uchiha Tatsumi sneered: "Such a small village will be destroyed if you don't know what is right. How do you need their consent... Unless of course you want to go back."
Kana shook his head firmly: "I would rather die than go back."
"Great, any other questions?"
Kana thought for a moment, then rolled up his sleeves, revealing a row of ferocious tooth marks on his fair and tender arms.
"I believe I will definitely be useful to Konoha in the future, but I don't want to live the kind of life in the Grass Ninja Village anymore."
Uchiha Chen nodded: "I can guarantee you this, no one can bite you again in the future.
Unless you want to. "
…
In the end, the boy took Kana Uzumaki and left the training ground.
But their destination was not the Hokage Building, but Konoha Hospital.
Naturally, other people will do the instilling of the will of fire and repairing the psychological trauma, but Kana's physical pain cannot be delayed.
After all, the row of tooth marks on his arm is really scary.
When the two of them arrived at the hospital, Tsunade had just finished her work and was sitting on a chair drinking wolfberry from a thermos cup.
She was really busy these days, constantly checking up on the Kaguya ninja who suffered from blood stains, and couldn't even go to her favorite hospital.
In this way, Orochimaru still thought that she was not professional enough and could not find anything useful after checking.
"Haha, this is the first time someone has questioned my medical skills."
Tsunade felt her character was insulted.
So, she was ready to give up her life and run away.
However, seeing Uchiha Tatsu coming, her mood instantly improved again.
If nothing else, this little kid Chen is at least top-notch in business. In just half a year, he has brought her several rounds of business. She has made a lot of money recently. Can she not be happy to see this again
"It's just, why is this little girl so unfamiliar? I've never seen her before?"
Tsunade was familiar with Uchiha Tatsu's circle of friends, but she had never seen this girl. After all, she had the same red hair as Kushina, so it was difficult not to remember her.
"Hey, the same red hair as Kushina..." Tsunade finally reacted and showed an unbelievable look: "Is she a ninja from the Uzumaki clan...?"
Uchiha Tatsun nodded, pushed the frightened little girl forward, and quickly introduced her origins.
"Kusagakure Village?" Tsunade muttered, then took Kana's hand and sighed: "If I could have met you a few years ago, grandma would be very happy. You may have heard that my grandma's name is Uzumaki Mito.”
Kana said like a chicken pecking at rice: "I heard my mother say that Mito-sama was the princess of the Uzumaki clan, and then married the first Hokage. So... where is she now?"
Tsunade said quietly: "He has been dead for several years."
"… sorry!"
Tsunade touched Kana's satin-like red hair and smiled: "You don't need to apologize, it has nothing to do with you. So, from now on, you will call me sister like Kushina. In short, as long as I am here, no one will dare bully you."
"...Yeah." Kana nodded.
After watching the two of them enter the ward, Uchiha Tatsumi was about to leave, but found Orochimaru coming out of nowhere.
"It's so sad to lose a ninja's hometown."
"Yes, you have to wander around in order to survive." Uchiha paused, and then asked: "Teacher, do you think one day Konoha will become the second Uzushio Village?"
Orochimaru's eyes were deep: "Tangible things will be destroyed sooner or later, even Konoha is no exception. One day in the future, this village will definitely disappear."
"What if you want to stop it?"
"Probably... I can only live forever, and then I will watch over this village forever."
Uchiha Tatsumi shook his head: "I'm afraid that the Eternal One will be the first to destroy the village."
"Why?"
"As long years pass by, the village will change sooner or later, and looking at the unfamiliar changes, the immortals cannot accept it, so they can only destroy the village."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said: "It's an interesting idea, but it's a pity... I'm not an immortal, so I can't confirm your idea."
"Haha, teacher, you don't need to pay attention to these details. I just said casually that Konoha may disappear in a few years." Uchiha Chen paused and then asked, "Why don't you continue to study that Kaguya kid? "
"We have reached a bottleneck, so I went out for a walk, but unexpectedly I found a more interesting child... Uzumaki Kana?"
"Yes, the Third Hokage has agreed to her joining Konoha."
Orochimaru thought for a while and asked: "Has the tail of the hand been dealt with?"
"The few Iwa ninjas who met Kana are all dead. I kept one of the two Kusanagi ninjas who escaped, and they have also been implanted with genjutsu."
Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction. After all, Uzumaki Kana was a ninja from other villages. Although Konoha was not afraid of anyone, for the sake of reputation, he still had to cover up.
"This girl is very capable and a good prospect. I happen to be short of an assistant..."
"Don't even think about it!"
Just then, Tsunade walked out of the ward.
"You are not allowed to take action against my disciple."
Orochimaru was a little helpless: "Why would I attack a ninja from the same village, and when did she become your disciple?"
Tsunade snorted arrogantly: "I just decided that her body contains huge vitality, and she is simply a natural medical ninja. How can I let such a genius go."
"You are too unkind."
"So what," Tsunade said confidently, "And that kid Kaguya, I won't study it anymore."
"…Why
"I don't like corpse bone veins. They're dry, numb, and not round at all!"
“…”
