Chapter 139 This Is What Konoha and I Owe You (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!)

"…Really, really?"

After listening to Mito's explanation, Tsunade was stunned and silent for a long time. Although she admitted the feasibility in her heart, she still said anxiously: "Is it really okay?"

She now looked like a child who was afraid of injections when she was sick and refused to get them, but got the promise of "I will buy you candy after the injection" from her mother.

"Of course it's true."

Looking at Tsunade's slightly childish performance, Mito pulled her sleeve to wipe her face and smiled:

"You girl, relying on your growing age, you don't want to listen to me, an old man who is nagging. You run away impatiently after I nag you for a few words, but now it seems that you are still a cute child, crying like a little cat."

Mito's teasing words that didn't seem to be fake made Tsunade feel much more relaxed. Her cheeks rose as red as her eyes, and she sniffed and held the necklace around her neck tightly.

This necklace is a relic of her grandfather, Hashirama Senju. It is a very special and rare chakra crystal. It contains the chakra that Hashirama sealed during his lifetime. It has the power to suppress the tailed beasts to a certain extent.

She once gave this necklace to her younger brother, Nawase, as a birthday gift. After learning the origin of the necklace, Nawase was greatly encouraged and vowed to become Hokage.

However, on the second day of his birthday.

Nawase died in the detonation trap. After death, he was unrecognizable. It was only by the necklace that he could recognize his body.

"Swearing to become Hokage because of a necklace, Nawase is really naive."

Feeling the warmth of the necklace in her hand, Tsunade lowered her head and smiled bitterly and whispered: "But I don't seem to have the right to say such things now..."

Although Hokage is still far away from her, she also understands that what her grandmother said is true.

Judging from the reactions before and after the destruction of the Whirlpool Country, whether the top leaders are involved in this matter or not, it can be seen that everyone in Konoha is in danger now.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen was on guard against the ninja clan, and those ninja clans could no longer trust the Konoha high-level officials.

Tsunade originally thought that even if she became the Hokage, she would be like her teacher and still be unable to do anything.

However, after listening to Mito's explanation, she found that this was not the case.

Perhaps, it was not the Hokage who was powerless, but the Third Hokage, her teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

We just need someone to lead us forward, as long as we move forward in a good direction, instead of being hostile and vigilant to each other and standing still.

As long as we do this, it will be enough, right?

"Grandma."

Tsunade raised her head, took a breath, and whispered, "What should I do?"

She still had no interest in the position of Hokage, and didn't know if she could do better than her teacher, but if this was what grandma wanted to see...

Then she wanted to give it a try.

"Just lie down obediently."

Mito patted the bed under him, with a gentle and kind smile on his old face: "It will be fine soon, just sleep."

After hesitating for a moment, Tsunade nodded, lay down on the bed obediently, and slowly closed her eyes.

The smile on Mito's face gradually faded a lot, and he used hand seals to use illusion on Tsunade, and saw her trembling eyelids calm down.

Immediately, Mito turned his head to look at Kushina, who had been silent, with guilt, pity, and regret in his eyes.

"Kushina."

She sighed deeply with fatigue, as if she wanted to breathe out her last breath, touched Kushina's messy red hair, and whispered: "After I leave, Tsunade will protect you."

After that, looking at the girl's slightly confused and sad face, Mito stretched out his arms and hugged her into his arms, closing his eyes and said: "Hide well, don't be found, and grow up quickly, you are different from a sinner like me."

Kushina is still "Uzumaki Kushina", but Mito is no longer "Uzumaki Mito".

Watching the death of old friends and the destruction of their hometown, knowing clearly who the murderer is who caused all this, but not being qualified to avenge them because of his position, letting the darkness spread in the depths of this big tree.

Powerlessness, guilt, regret, pain, entanglement, fear...

She is really too tired.

The only thing she can do now is to divide hope into two parts, one for her husband's Konoha, and one for the future of Uzumaki.

Yes, the future of Uzumaki.

Kushina's last name is "Uzumaki", not the "Uzumaki" of Konoha, but the "Uzumaki" of the Land of Uzumaki.

"At least, you don't need to bear malice and can grow up peacefully."

Mito slowly opened his eyes, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and whispered: "When you know the truth, no matter what your final choice is, no one has the right to blame you."

"This is what Konoha and I owe you."

After that, she slowly stood up and put Kushina, who was sleeping soundly in her arms due to the illusion, on another bed.

Apart from apologizing with death and escaping, this is the last thing she can do.

Mito turned to look at the pharmacist, forced a smile and said: "Finally, I have to trouble you to take care of this child."

"It's okay. There's already a little kid at home, so we can just find him a companion."

The pharmacist just smiled and shook his head, and said with a little respect in his tone: "Then in the end, I hope you can get the peace and comfort you want."

Peace and comfort?

The relief and fatigue in Mito's eyes were fleeting. After nodding, she stretched out her hand and pressed on her abdomen. With a sinking mind, she entered the sealed space in her body.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a vast wasteland in front of her.

Only a lava ball was hanging in the air, emitting surging heat like the sun.

This is not some other dimension, but a mental world of chakra.

Mito could clearly sense that the heat was obviously much weaker than the last time he came here.

The seal that had been reinforced many times and was unbreakable had cracks because of the previous loss of control.

"Hehe, Mito, you dare to come here."

A voice with hatred and joy came, Mito looked up and met the pair of vertical pupils full of violence.

In the face of Kyuubi's provocation, Mito's response was simple.

Kaka!

Mito clenched his fist expressionlessly, and the tendons of his fingers made a crisp sound.

Hearing this familiar sound that he hadn't heard for many years, Kyuubi, who was chained to the magma ball in a "big" shape, shuddered violently as if he was stressed.

"You!" It stared at Mito with its eyes fixed, baring its teeth and making a threatening gesture, "What are you going to do?"

Damn it! Why did this woman wake up so quickly?

With Mito's severely damaged mental state at the time, coupled with the chakra and body that were drained by it, she should have been unconscious for at least one or two months.

The seal was obviously loosened, and if it was given a little more time, it could have escaped directly!

"Kyuubi, I'm here to borrow some chakra from you."

Mito said softly as he walked over, and the molten ball in the air fell down.
