Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Tsunade’s Not-So-Secret Crush and Tobirama’s Pending Eviction Notice
"Kazuki, he is himself..." Uzumaki Mito whispered as she turned her head to look longingly at the First Hokage rock in the distance. "Monkey, little Tsuna, do you think I'm the Nine-Tailed Fox or Uzumaki Mito?"
"Of course you're Mito-sama! How could you be the Nine-Tails?"
"You will always be my grandmother!"
Uzumaki Mito chuckled and shook his head. "It's just because I can control the Nine-tailed Fox..."
"Most Jinchuriki in other villages are just vessels for the Tailed Beasts. Their names are forgotten, replaced by their role as vessels. No one remembers their real names."
"If Kushina can't control the Nine-tailed Fox, then the shinobi in the village will gradually forget her name and call her the Nine-tailed Fox Jinchuriki, and the name of Kushina will disappear."
Tsunade and Sarutobi Hiruzen were silent. This was the most real situation.
Uzumaki Mito looked at Kazuki and said softly: "Kazuki, to a certain extent, can also be considered a Jinchuriki. Although he was affected by Tobirama's forbidden technique, his ninjutsu and the power of his pupils have the shadow of Tobirama, Uchiha Izuna and others, but his way of thinking is different..."
"I know Tobirama and Izuna well. Neither of them would show a smile as kind as Kazuki. They were both cold, even cruel at times. They only showed a small smile to those closest to them."
Uzumaki Mito looked at the Flying Thunder God mark on Kazuki's wrist and said slowly: "Kazuki's rampage is obviously due to the explosion of Uchiha Izuna's power in his body, and Tobirama's power also exploded immediately, and the two unconscious chakras clashed..."
"But Kazuki has balanced all this very well. He also controls his own power when he is rampaging, and can even recognize Tsunade and Asuma, which means that he is the dominant one in his body, not Tobirama, nor Izuna."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and couldn't help asking: "Mito-sama, is it not possible that Tobirama-sama is in charge, and that's why Kazuki didn't attack the Konoha shinobi?"
Uzumaki Mito sneered. "Monkey, if Tobirama can take the initiative, then you should call Kazuki sensei now!"
"If Tobirama's chakra in his body was conscious like the Nine-Tails and could take the initiative, even if Kazuki is Kagami's descendant, he would have already possessed it a long time ago. Would he allow Kazuki to develop like that?"
"Monkey, do you think I'm right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen stammered, but still nodded. "You're right, Mito-sama, I didn't think it through."
With the character of his sensei, Sarutobi Hiruzen could not imagine that Senju Tobirama would allow an Uchiha with such great potential to grow to this point, instead of decisively and ruthlessly replacing him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that as long as it involved Uchiha, it would be okay to speculate about his sensei with the deepest malice.
This could only mean that Tobirama's chakra inside Kazuki was unconscious...
Meanwhile inside Kazuki...
Tobirama already had a mask of frustration on. He had only just made up with Kazuki, and they were already looking for trouble for him again?
Senju Tobirama looked around, afraid that Kazuki would say again: Is what Mito-sama said true?
But fortunately, Kazuki just raised an eyebrow and muttered: "The Hokage with zero points is really like that..."
At this moment, Senju Tobirama didn't want to argue...
Fine, let it be zero points, but the day Kazuki revives him, Monkey, you'll be the one paying the consequences!
Master must ask you carefully at that time, what's the matter with this zero-point test paper of the Will of Fire, and what's the matter with your performance and perfunctory words about my character?
Is my character so unspeakable?
Is it necessary for you to use the Will of Fire to avoid the question?
Meanwhile, Tsunade was still worried. Tobirama's chakra inside Kazuki... kept making her feel uncomfortable, but she wasn't willing to face it or analyze it.
Uzumaki Mito seemed to be keenly aware of Tsunade's emotions.
"Hiruzen, you go first, I have something to say to Tsunade..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen blinked.
No, isn't this the Hokage's office?
And besides, Kazuki is still lying on the desk... Is it appropriate for me to leave now?
"I understand, Mito-sama."
Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and left quickly, his movements were very smooth.
Uzumaki Mito motioned Tsunade to come to her side, held her hand, and said softly: "Grandma will tell you a secret. In fact, your grandfather also had an unknown chakra like Kazuki..."
Tsunade's eyes widened. "How is this possible?! What kind of chakra did my grandfather have?"
Uzumaki Mito shook her head. "I don't know. It was Hashirama who discovered this first and told me."
"If it weren't for the fact that I have extraordinary perception and because I was very close to Hashirama at specific moments, I would never have noticed. That chakra was much stronger and more hidden than Tobirama and Izuna's inside Kazuki..."
"Sometimes I think that maybe it belonged to some powerful ancestor of the Senju, but that is not important."
Uzumaki Mito looked directly into Tsunade's eyes and said softly: "I once asked Hashirama if he would be affected by that chakra, and Hashirama gave me a clear answer..."
Tsunade listened nervously.
"Hashirama told me that the love of his family and friends had strengthened his heart so much that no one could influence him. He told me not to worry." Mito said, smiling softly as she brushed away a strand of white hair.
Although she looked old at this moment, she inexplicably looked like a girl in love.
"I told Kushina once that she should use love to appease the Nine-Tails, so that at least it wouldn't harbor so much resentment."
"The same is true for Kazuki. You can regard the chakra of Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna as something like the tailed beasts. Although it will inevitably affect Kazuki, as long as the heart is firm enough, these can be ignored, just like Hashirama..."
"And what you have to do is to use your love, together with the love of Kazuki's friends, to prevent him from getting lost in the power of Tobirama and Izuna. These two opponents may fight in Kazuki's body and affect him..."
Tsunade listened blankly but seemed relieved in her heart.
If it doesn't affect Kazuki, then it's fine...
Uzumaki Mito looked at Tsunade's expression and said meaningfully: "Tsunade, Kazuki is only thirteen years old, and you have just come out of your emotional depression. There are many things you need to think about, so don't rush."
"Do you really see him as just a younger brother?"
Tsunade blinked and quickly waved her hand to retort. "Grandma! You're thinking too much!"
"I'm just Kazuki's teacher! I think that since he is a victim, if I can help him, as his teacher, I should do my best…"
She spoke loudly, but there was a slight sense of awkwardness in her tone, and her face flushed.
Mito smiled ambiguously.
"There is not much difference, Tsunade. To help Kazuki strengthen his will and prevent Tobirama or Uchiha Izuna's chakra from disturbing him, you should nurture him with love. After all, you are his master…"
"There are many kinds of love, not just the love between men and women."
Tsunade nodded awkwardly. "Yes, yes... you're right, Grandma. It was my mistake."
However, a mischievous glint appeared in Mito's eyes as she added in a mysterious tone: "Of course, until Kazuki comes of age and you clarify your own feelings, there should only be the love between teacher and disciple..."
"But if one day Kazuki no longer needs Tobirama's strength, there will always be ways to deal with his situation."
Mito left the conversation hanging, while Tsunade blushed even more, showing hesitation, as if she wanted to ask something but didn't dare.
"Hehe... Tsunade, you really can't hold your temper..."
Uzumaki Mito chuckled.
"In order to make Kazuki more powerful, Tobirama added the Uzumaki clan's chakra to his forbidden technique. Do you remember the Adamantine Sealing Chains that Kazuki used?"
Tsunade nodded blankly.
"When the time is right and if the shinobi world is at peace, with Kazuki's talent for sealing techniques and his mastery of the Adamantine Sealing Chains, it won't be difficult to seal Tobirama and Izuna's chakra like tailed beasts, or even extract them completely."
"At that time, you can just let Kazuki find a place to throw your second grandfather, who is in the way."
Uzumaki Mito laughed happily when she said this.
"Tobirama loved forbidden techniques, so let Kazuki use one of those techniques to send him away. After all, sealing techniques and the Adamantine Sealing Chains are perfect for dealing with residual chakra like that…"
"Did you think, little Tsuna, that I've been teaching Kazuki sealing techniques these past few months just to watch him? It's all been for your future…"
Tsunade's face flushed instantly, but she nodded very seriously. "Grandmother, thank you for your trouble!"
At this moment, Tsunade's heart seemed to be clear.
Until Kazuki came of age, she would remain his teacher and protector, helping him strengthen his will.
But once Kazuki came of age, when peace came, many bothersome things could be thrown away.
Of course, according to Tsunade, with annoying things, she meant Uchiha Izuna's chakra, not her second grandfather's...
Whether others believe it or not, she believes it anyway.
But it's obvious that some people don't believe it, like Uzumaki Mito, on the other hand Senju Tobirama is the first one who doesn't believe it!
Just listening to Tsunade's tone, it seems like she can't wait to throw him out of Kazuki's body.
