But I don't have a younger brother!
Kushina spoke with a troubled expression.
She doesn't have a younger brother, so how is she supposed to implement the "harmonious married life" method that Uchiha Makoto mentioned?
Are you suggesting we resurrect her parents and have them give her another child?
If he didn't have a younger brother, he couldn't guarantee his married life. If he couldn't guarantee that, Minato would definitely...
Seeing Kushina lost in thought, Minato Namikaze gave Uchiha Makoto an awkward smile.
Sometimes Kushina is like that; she gets so caught up in her own thoughts that she ends up trapped in them.
Uchiha Makoto first shook his head, indicating that it was alright.
Then, Uchiha Makoto waved his hand in front of Kushina, drawing her attention back to Kushina.
"Not necessarily!"
Kushina looked up and met Uchiha Makoto's ambiguous smile.
Before she could say anything, Uchiha Makoto continued, "My subordinates have reported on the Uzumaki Clan these past two days!"
"One of them is a girl, and she seems to have a younger brother. Oh, right, you know that girl, her name is Uzumaki Rieko."
"He was murdered a couple of days ago!"
Uchiha Makoto spoke softly, uttering words that left Kushina's mind blank.
Rieko... is dead?
Kushina felt a sudden darkness engulf her.
Although she and Rieko only spent a few months together, their shared identity as survivors of the Uzumaki and their knowledge of Sealing Jutsu quickly brought them closer.
And now someone's saying she's dead?
'Are they the ones who destroyed the Land of Whirlpools?'
A thought suddenly flashed through Kushina's mind.
Just as many people have speculated, Kushina was actually a candidate to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. She was taken away on the eve of the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools of Land of Whirlpools and just happened to escape its demise.
But that doesn't mean she didn't collect information, speculate, or guess about the culprit. On the contrary, in the first few years after arriving in Konoha, she was so lost and confused that she thought about it almost Tenten!
And now, the only member of her clan who had walked up to her had vanished without warning!
Kushina's forehead veins bulged, her red hair floated behind her, and a layer of Nine-Tails Chakra appeared on her body!
Splash!
The clanging of chains caused Minato Namikaze's expression to change.
The sound of chains was coming from Kushina's body; it was the sound of the Adamantine Sealing Chains that Kushina used to seal the Nine-Tails!
The Nine-Tails Chakra has leaked!
Seeing Kushina's state, the Anbu who had been hiding in the corner couldn't care less and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Grown ups..."
One of them looked at Uchiha Makoto with a troubled expression, seeking his opinion.
Uchiha Makoto led the three children aside, indicating that they should do as they pleased.
The member of the Anbu nodded gratefully and quickly took out a sealing scroll to reinforce the seal together.
Seeing this, the three little ones showed expressions of both curiosity and fear, and they all moved closer to Uchiha Makoto.
"What... is this?"
The usually carefree Obito swallowed hard and asked nervously.
Is such negative and violent Chakra truly possessed by humans?
"This is the Tailed Beast Chakra, and the Nine-Tails, the strongest of the Tailed Beast!"
Under the inquisitive gazes of the three children, Uchiha Makoto explained.
"Kushina was Jinchūriki, and the Nine-Tails was sealed within her."
"Under normal circumstances, Tailed Beast do not affect Jinchūriki, and Jinchūriki are able to use the power of Tailed Beast."
"When the ninja who serves as the Jinchūriki loses control of their emotions, or when the seal weakens, the Tailed Beast will find an opportunity to leak their Chakra and attempt to break the seal!"
As he spoke, Uchiha Makoto patted Obito's head again.
"Whether it's Jinchūriki or Tailed Beast, generally only the Kage from the Five Great Shinobi Villages can subdue them."
"They have always been the absolute top-tier combat force of the ninja village!"
"If you ever run into Obito again, you'd better run away immediately!"
Seeing Uchiha Makoto's solemn expression, Uchiha Obito nodded heavily in agreement.
He wouldn't dare to confront such a monster, which only the "Kage" of the Five Great Shinobi Villages could subdue!
Seeing Obito's obedient appearance, Uchiha Makoto angrily rubbed the dog's head again, which made Obito very dissatisfied.
While they were chatting, Kushina successfully suppressed the Nine-Tails and returned to normal.
Seeing this, the three little ones quickly went to greet them.
Having lost his dog head Uchiha Makoto didn't force his way in; instead, he looked at Minato Namikaze, who was clearly complaining.
Because of Uchiha Makoto, Kushina leaked her Chakra in public, and the Konoha High Command will definitely strengthen their control over Kushina in the future.
Now that Uchiha Makoto is standing here, even after they strengthened the seal, they dare not leave rashly, causing Kushina to be pointed at and gossiped about by passersby.
Kushina is going to be sad for a while again!
Minato Namikaze, after thinking for a moment, adjusted his expression and walked towards Uchiha Makoto.
"Sir, we..."
Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Makoto waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
And so, Minato Namikaze fled the place as if they were running away.
Uchiha Makoto stood still, gazing at Minato Namikaze's dazzling blond hair, and narrowed his eyes.
Based on their ages, Minato Namikaze's parents were probably Konoha around the time of Konoha's Wood Release experiments.
That was the time when so many Senju Clan died silently.
Having left the shopping street, Uchiha Makoto had no interest in witnessing the chaos within Konoha's Anbu.
He might be interested if the Konoha High Command were in disarray, but if it was just the Anbu, he'd rather not.
With nothing to do, Uchiha Makoto wandered aimlessly until he arrived at a building outside Konoha.
Konoha Orphanage.
Looking at the large characters on the plaque, Uchiha Makoto blinked. Had he arrived at Yakushi Nonō?
"It's been a long time since I've seen Nonō."
Uchiha Makoto's eyes flickered, and after a moment's hesitation, he pushed open the door and entered the orphanage.
The war, especially the war between Konoha and Sand Ninja, caused a surge in the number of children at the orphanage managed by Nonō.
In order to take care of these orphans, and with Nonō Uchiha Makoto as her backer, Nono had some savings.
Fortunately, he suspended his position in the Uchiha before the new year and returned to focus on managing the orphanage.
Because of the orphanage system, those who are older and capable of being independent will leave, so all that Uchiha Makoto can see are a bunch of little kids.
Uchiha Makoto frowned. He was always patient with children, but now was clearly not the right time.
Following his senses, Uchiha Makoto arrived at the backyard of the orphanage.
Nonō was playing with a group of children, but what caught Uchiha Makoto's attention the most was the white-haired little boy next to Nonō.
At this moment, he was wearing a samurai helmet.
Kabuto the Pharmacist!
