Mito Uzumaki sized up Shinsei. He had a handsome and sunny face with sharp and bright eyes. His short, black hair, about an inch long, stood up straight, making him look very energetic.
He was tall and sturdy, and due to his good development, he was already the same height as Tsunade. If he weren't so young, he would be a good candidate.
She kept these thoughts to herself, not revealing them. Anyway, that blue-haired guy had been assigned a long-term mission by Orochimaru.
It seems to have some connection to Shinsei in front of me. But that's all a matter for young people; I'm too old to get involved anymore.
If Shinsei can achieve what Hashirama has in the future, then naturally none of this will be a problem.
Shinsei felt a little uneasy under Mito Uzumaki's seemingly casual yet amused gaze. He quickly picked up a piece of fried fish, placed it in Mito Uzumaki's bowl, and said, " Grandma Mito, you hardly ever eat!"
Mito Uzumaki suddenly burst into laughter, said "good" three times, and put the fish that Shinsei had picked up into her mouth.
Tsunade grabbed Shinsei's ear again and said, "I'll say it again, that's my grandmother, we're from many generations apart, you can't call her that!"
"Teacher, it hurts! Grandma Mito looks so young, I even want to call her 'older sister'!" Shinsei, for once, stood firm in the face of Tsunade's violent methods.
Shinsei's words made Mito burst into laughter. Her gaze towards him grew even more kind, and she didn't correct him.
Gaara ate his meal silently. He never expected that the person who could easily defeat the One-Tail and was like a demon king in the eyes of the Sunagakure villagers would be so docile in front of his teacher, who was not as strong as him.
The meal passed by easily and pleasantly. Tsunade hadn't seen her grandmother in a long time, so naturally she had a lot to talk about.
Kushina Uzumaki also wanted to share her experiences with her. Shinsei silently stayed by their side, listening to them talk about the other Shinobi World.
Tsunade proudly shared how she governed the village and gained the villagers' love after becoming Hokage. Kushina also recounted Kushina experiences in another world.
A faint golden light shone from Mito Uzumaki's body. She gently patted her lower abdomen and said, "Don't worry, Nine-Tails is just a little agitated."
Gaara suppressed his surprise. He hadn't expected the Nine-Tails ' Chakra to be so vast and powerful; the One-Tail within him seemed utterly incomparable.
Gaara Mito Uzumaki Gaara and beckoned Gaara over.
Gaara Earth Flow. Mito Uzumaki stroked his head and said, "Poor child. Jinchūriki don't need to suffer like this. Your dark circles are so bad, you didn't sleep well, did you?"
Gaara seemed somewhat dazed. He didn't resist at all as Mito Uzumaki stroked his head. Those gentle, loving eyes made him unusually quiet.
Mito Uzumaki gently lifted Gaara's clothes, revealing the seal on his abdomen, and said, "Don't resist." Mito Uzumaki's gentle words flowed like a warm stream through Gaara's heart. Having been withdrawn since childhood, few people had shown him kindness; instead, he was often feared.
Mito Uzumaki gently placed her palm on Gaara's lower abdomen, and a stream of Chakra flowed from her palm into Gaara's body. The scenery before them changed, and they found themselves in a vast desert.
Under a dim sky, a massive iron cage traps a Tailed Beast made of sand within.
Mito Uzumaki frowned slightly, looking at everything before her, and muttered to herself, "It's really too rough."
She Hand Seals, and countless streams of water flowed from her fingertips, quickly covering the earth and enveloping the One-Tail.
One-Tail Shukaku struggled violently, cursing repeatedly, "Let me out! You old woman!"
Mito Uzumaki ignored its foul language and focused on tightening the seal.
Before long, the scenery changed, and the dim yellow sky transformed into a vast space. An iron cage tightly confined Shukaku inside. The ground was covered with a thick layer of water, One-Tail kept retreating behind the cage, but the continuous flow of water still soaked the sand on its body.
"Damn it! I hate water the most!"
Mito Uzumaki clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Alright, you can sleep peacefully now."
The scene changed, and the two people were back in the room.
Gaara felt as if a shackle had been removed from his body, an indescribable sense of liberation. The One-Tail Chakra One-Tail longer posed a threat to him; he no longer had to worry about it sneaking out while he was asleep. He felt his eyes growing heavier, and drowsiness crept in.
Mito Uzumaki pointed to the room next door and said, "Go on, good boy, get some sleep."
A maid came forward, took his hand, and led him into the room. Upon seeing the bed, Gaara could no longer resist and immediately lay down on it, closing his eyes.
The maid carefully removed the gourd from behind him and placed it beside him. She then straightened his body, covered him with a blanket, and slowly left the room, closing the door behind her.
Mito Uzumaki sighed and said, " Jinchūriki, are all Jinchūriki in another world like this?"
Shinsei understood what Mito Uzumaki meant and nodded, saying, " The Jinchūriki in the other world are all pretty much the same; they're not having a good time."
Looking back, Jinchūriki were originally an important fighting force in each village, but the villagers generally lacked respect for them and were more afraid of them.
Mito Uzumaki frowned slightly and said, "Has Hashirama's plan failed just like that?"
These words silenced the group of people present. Having been to another world, none of them believed that Hashirama Senju's idea of using Tailed Beast to balance the Shinobi World had any effect.
Even Tsunade couldn't bring herself to say something against her conscience, and she also thought that her grandfather's ideas were somewhat naive.
Kushina Uzumaki walked over and nestled into Mito's arms, pressing her face against her waist.
Mito Uzumaki gently stroked her hair and asked softly, "So? Have you made up your mind? Do you want to accept the Nine-Tails?"
Kushina Uzumaki raised her head and looked pitifully at Mito Uzumaki.
She had been to another world, where she had good friends, including Minato and Naruto.
No one was watching her Anbu Tenten, and no one called her " Tomato." She felt a long-lost sense of freedom and didn't want to become Jinchūriki and be tied to this world.
But since Grandma Mito had asked the question, she could no longer shirk her responsibility.
"I..."
Mito raised her index finger and gently touched Kushina's lips, sealing her words, and said:
"No one will force you, Kushina. You must live for yourself. I'll think of a way to deal with Nine-Tails."
"Grandma!" Kushina buried her head in Mito Uzumaki's arms, tears streaming down her face.
Shinsei felt unwell and hurriedly asked:
" Grandma Mito, is it almost time for Nine-Tails to relocate?"
