Uzumaki Mito's Final Passing

Uzumaki Mito, whose Nine-Tails was extracted, did not die immediately, but became extremely weak. It has to be said that the Uzumaki Clan's physique is truly amazing, and it is exceptionally good for sealing Tailed Beast.

"Chi, little Sen'u," Uzumaki Mito waved to Sen'u, and as she was about to leave, she still couldn't bear to part with her little grandson.

Sen'u knew his grandmother was dying, and he came to her bedside with tears in his eyes.

Seeing this, Tianqi waved to the people in the cave and left, leaving his last moments with the grandfather and grandson.

"Sarutobi has successfully transferred the Nine-Tails. You should send little Kushina back first. Let my son and I spend her last moments with her!" Tianqi said to the others, glancing back at Uzumaki Mito lying on the bed.

"Uncle, I also want to stay by Lady Mito's side, I..."

Before Uzumaki Kushina could finish speaking, Tianqi interrupted her, "Alright, little Kushina, you've just sealed that fox, so you must still be a little unaccustomed to it. Go back and get used to it first. I'm here, that's enough. Be a good girl."

This scene wasn't suitable for Kushina, the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki watch. Although the Four Symbols Seal was perfect, Kushina was still young, and it was best for her not to see certain things. Besides, this was Tianqi's family matter, and he didn't want any outsiders to interfere.

"Yes, Kushina, let's leave first. Let them stay here!" Sarutobi Hiruzen echoed Tianqi's words.

"Alright then..." Seeing that no one wanted her to stay, Uzumaki Kushina lowered her head and left, followed by the Anbu Ninja.

Seeing that Uzumaki Kushina had left, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Tianqi, "Tianqi, will your Sealing Jutsu have any problems? You know, the Nine-Tails going berserk is no joke."

"Brother Sarutobi, don't worry, my seal is absolutely perfect, I guarantee the Nine-Tails won't have any problems!" Upon hearing this, Tianqi rolled his eyes at Sarutobi Hiruzen. It had been too long since they'd seen each other, and even basic trust was eroded.

"Haha, don't overthink it. I was just confirming with you. Alright, you stay here with Lady Mito. I'll be going now!" With an awkward laugh, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned and left.

"It seems you won't be coming back to Root. I've finally gotten rid of someone who's been freeloading. I'm in a great mood!" Danzo smiled slightly, then turned and left.

Tianqi's lips twitched upon hearing this. This old Danzo was really dishonest. He had been eating for free all these years, and I had done him a lot of tasks. He was clearly unhappy because he was missing a worker, but he pretended to be happy and indifferent. He was such a stubborn guy.

Two days later, Konoha also held a funeral for Uzumaki Mito, but it was not a grand affair and was a very low-key funeral.

Tianqi didn't choose the conventional burial method but instead used cremation. He had never forgotten that some people have a penchant for digging up graves, and if someone were to Impure World Reincarnation one day, it would be a real problem. So, he went all out and used cremation.

With this, Tianqi officially returned to Konoha. He no longer had to hide and could walk openly on the streets of Konoha. Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya heard that Tianqi had returned, they all came to visit him.

Of course, the current Uchiha Clan Head, Uchiha Sen, who is also Uchiha Fugaku's father, was also present. His purpose in coming was not a simple visit, but to ask Tianqi to return to the Uchiha Clan. However, Tianqi refused. How could he possibly go back to hang out with these good-for-nothings?

More than a month later, today Sen'u and the others successfully graduated from ninja school. Unlike the later peaceful eras where students graduated at eleven or twelve, Ninja Academy graduates nowadays are almost always nine or ten years old.

"Hehe, I've finally graduated! I don't have to go to school and live that boring life anymore!" Sen'u jumped around happily as soon as she got home.

Tianqi, who was sunbathing in the yard, glanced at Sen'u, then closed his eyes and continued sunbathing. Now that he no longer had a ninja identity, he didn't need to do missions or care about the troubles of Konoha, so he could only lie at home.

"Dad, did you hear that? I don't have to go to the Ninja Academy anymore! Did you hear that?!" Sen'u shook Tianqi's chair vigorously, sharing her joy with him.

"Look at your pathetic self! You're so happy that you don't have to go to school. Who knows, you might even be expelled. What's there to be happy about!" Tianqi, who couldn't sleep because of being shaken, poured cold water on Sen'u.

"Returned to school? What's going on?" Sen'u asked, puzzled. He had never heard of being returned to school before.

"Didn't your school's teachers tell you? If you're not approved by your team leader ninja, you'll be sent back to school. I really don't know how the teachers at the Ninja Academy taught you this!" Tianqi glanced at Sen'u speechlessly.

"I'm not really sure. The teachers at school just told us to go to school tomorrow to be assigned to teams and wait for the ninjas to come and pick us up. They didn't tell us anything else. But I've never heard of anyone being sent back to school. Dad, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Sen'u looked at his father with suspicion. If someone had really been expelled from school, he couldn't have been unaware of it. Moreover, the teachers at the school wouldn't have failed to mention something so important. He now seriously suspected that his father had made this up to deceive him.

"I don't have time to fool you. Believe it or not, it's up to you. But let me warn you, if you really get sent back to school, don't come back. I can't afford to lose face like that!"

With war raging all the time, naturally no one would be sent back to the Ninja Academy. The village is eager for ninjas to graduate as soon as possible to replenish the troops on the battlefield, so why would they send anyone back? Moreover, with Sen'u's current Chunin strength, the probability of him being sent back is almost zero. If someone with Sen'u's strength could be sent back, then either Konoha is too trashy or the ninja in charge is blind.

"Tch! I'll never be rejected! My dream is to become Hokage!" Sen'u shouted in the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Tianqi was speechless. Generally speaking, those who aspire to become Hokage are destined to die young. This kind of childish ideal is not something Sen'u should have.

"If you have such a ridiculous ideal, I advise you to change it as soon as possible. Your Uncle Shinsetsu used to always have this kind of ideal on his lips, and then... tsk tsk tsk..." Tianqi couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of his immature brother-in-law.

"What happened after that?" Sen'u asked curiously. He knew very little about his uncle who had died on the battlefield, and his grandmother rarely mentioned him either.

"Later, the grass on his grave was three meters tall!" Tianqi his eyes at Sen'u, blurting out the phrase "grave grass."

"..."

Sen'u was completely stunned by her father's words. He was being far too blunt. Her father really showed no respect whatsoever for her deceased Uncle Shinsetsu.
