"It's alright, I can hold on for a while longer." Mito Uzumaki stroked Kushina's head and wiped away the tears on her face.
The fact that she can hold on means her time is almost up. After all, although Mito Uzumaki looks young, she was a person who survived the Warring States period.
Shinsei didn't dare ask Mito Uzumaki's exact age, but since Mito Uzumaki was Hashirama Senju's wife, he deduced that they were roughly the same age.
It is currently Konoha Year 39 in this world, and Hashirama Senju was around 30 years old when he founded Konoha. Therefore, Mito Uzumaki should be approaching 70 years old now.
This is already a very advanced age for someone who survived from the Warring States period.
In the Shinobi World, due to frequent wars, injuries are commonplace. Therefore, the average lifespan of ninjas is not very high.
Mito Uzumaki's survival to this day is already a testament to the power of the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline.
The matter of the Nine-Tails in this world needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. Once Kushina Uzumaki becomes the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Shinsei will no longer be able to bring her into his world.
No matter how good the relationship is with Konoha in this world, they would never agree to their Jinchūriki going to another world.
No one can be sure whether Shinsei will bring the Jinchūriki back after taking him there. It was a complete Nine-Tails!
Once Mito Uzumaki dies, Hiruzen Sarutobi in this world will no longer agree to many of Shinsei's demands.
Shinsei winked at Tsunade, and the two left the room.
Seeing Tsunade's worried face, Shinsei took out a pale green liquid from his storage scroll.
Tsunade took it and asked, "Is this the result of your research?"
Tsunade was naturally aware that Shinsei and Orochimaru had been researching White Zetsu and her grandfather's cells. However, since they weren't using living people for experiments, she didn't interfere further.
Shinsei nodded and asked, "Teacher, can this extend Lady Mito's lifespan?"
Tsunade carefully examined the pale green cell fluid in the glass jar and said, "We don't have the right tools here, so I'm not sure if it will help Grandma. We'll study it again when we get back."
Seeing that Tsunade didn't object to the cell fluid he had provided, Shinsei breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Tsunade wasn't so opposed to it when it involved his family.
Shinsei walks towards his house in this world.
A boy with orange hair saw Shinsei and greeted him from afar, " Lord Shinsei! You're back?"
Shinsei smiled and waved to Yahiko, Yahiko politely opened the gate to the courtyard for Shinsei.
A little girl with blue hair and a little girl with black hair ran out. When they saw Shinsei, they raised their hands slightly as a greeting, looking a little shy.
Surrounded by three children, Shinsei entered the room and turned to ask, "How are you? Are you settling in well here?"
Yahiko nodded. "It's great here. Everyone is friendly, we don't go hungry, and we can learn Ninjutsu. We've also made new friends at the Ninja Academy."
Although they hadn't seen each other for many days, there was no feeling of unfamiliarity at all. Yahiko recounted his experiences at the Ninja Academy.
The two girls gradually became bolder and shared some of their experiences in Konoha.
It seems they are living quite well here and have integrated into the environment.
Shinsei looked at Konan, whose face was always smiling, and then he remembered the other Xiao-nan he had met at sea, who exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.
The environment really can change a person. Compared to Amegakure, life in Konoha is so much more favorable for children their age.
The Third Shinobi World War is nearing its end. Without a major battle, the children of the Ninja Academy will not graduate early and go to the battlefield.
They abducted Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze, yet they returned two future core members of the Akatsuki to them.
"Um... um..." Konan looked a little shy when she saw Shinsei staring at her. She stretched out her hand, Chakra unfolded like a piece of paper, quickly transforming into a paper flower.
She carefully handed the paper flower to Shinsei.
Shinsei accepted the paper flower and said thank you.
There has always been a debate among Hokage from previous lives: whether Konan's Paper Release is Kekkei Genkai or a secret technique.
Shinsei can now say with certainty that this is a secret technique, not Kekkei Genkai.
Shinsei developed Storm Release, fully understands the difficulty of developing a new jutsu.
Konan has only recently entered the Ninja Academy and has only learned the most basic knowledge; she is still a long way from mastering Synthesis Release techniques.
Of course, it's also possible that among countless ninjas, there might be one or two lucky ones who unexpectedly combine the two types of Chakra, forming a new Kekkei Genkai.
But Konan's is clearly not like that; it's a kind of Chakra synthesis that's hard to define.
Chakra is truly a magical energy; it can transform into water, earth, wind, lightning, and fire, and it can even transform into wood, and now it can transform into paper.
The more you study it, the more you realize its profound depth.
Shinsei took out a stack of banknotes from his storage scroll and handed them to Yahiko. They had no source of income and could only rely on Shinsei's support to make a living.
From now on, we'll have to make them work for us and pay back our current investment many times over.
The three children have noticeably improved in complexion recently, and they are no longer as timid as before, but have become lively and energetic.
Shinsei Hand Seals, created a Shadow Clone, found a camera, and said to the three people, "Come on, let's take a group photo."
The three stood in the center of the room, with Shinsei behind him, extending two V-signs and placing them on Konan's head.
Konan felt a little embarrassed by Shinsei's actions, and her cheeks flushed red.
"Look here." Shinsei's Shadow Clone pointed the camera at them.
A flash of white light, and the smile was frozen in time.
Shinsei tossed the camera to Yahiko, laughing, "This camera is for you. Develop a few extra photos and have the boss expedite them."
Yahiko took the camera and couldn't resist fiddling with it. The two girls also crowded around, eager to see what it was all about.
What girl can resist the allure of having her picture taken?
The three of them were making a ruckus and ran out of the room to take pictures.
The three of them cooked dinner together, with Yahiko in charge. Perhaps due to their long period of wandering, they had developed good cooking skills, and the food they made was surprisingly not bad.
Shinsei returned to his room and took out the photos he had taken at noon.
Money makes the world go round. The photos, which would normally take two or three days to arrive, were obtained on the same day thanks to Shinsei's financial offensive.
The smiles of Yahiko, Konan, Arin in the photo are radiant, full of the liveliness unique to children.
I wonder what Nagato from the other world would think if he saw this photo.
I need to find an opportunity to give them this photo, so that Nagato and Konan can also reminisce about their childhood best friend.
