Once outside, Yuzuru quietly watched as Kakashi arranged everything for everyone.
He was never worried about them not joining, because anyone who had experienced life in the Land of Water would never return to the bloody and scheming ninja system.
Especially for people with children, no one doesn't want to be by their child's side and watch them grow up step by step.
"What are you going to do with the Nine-Tails?"
Uchiha Hikari approached Yuzuru and asked.
"Let's go, let's release it and have a good talk with it."
"Good."
The two disappeared at the same time and arrived outside the Sea Capital. They found an open space and Uchiha Hikari released the Nine-Tails.
Having just dispelled the Genjutsu, Nine-Tails was about to go berserk when, in the next second, it froze, staring at Uchiha Hikari, whose eyes were glowing crimson.
" Kurama, please sit down. Let's have a good talk."
Yuzuru looked at the large fox in front of him and said.
"You human brat, what exactly do you want?"
"I want to make a deal with you."
"A deal? Ha, what kind of conspiracy is this?"
"Didn't the Sage of Six Paths say that someone will appear in the future who can live peacefully with the Tailed Beast?"
You mean to say that was you?
"I do have that ability, but that prophecy wasn't about me, but about Kushina's child, Asura in this life."
An ice seat appeared behind Yuzuru, and he sat down and spoke to Nine-Tails.
"You mean that newborn brat? How would you know?"
"Don't underestimate Natural Energy, and don't underestimate the original power of this planet. In a sense, Nine-Tails, you are an outsider, a part of the power of the God Tree, which is also a part of the Ten-Tails."
Upon hearing this, Nine-Tails) completely lost its temper.
"I don't care about your identities; after all, you are all life forms on this planet now."
"Listen carefully, the terms of the deal are: like the Three-Tails, you will become one of the nine guardian Tailed Beast of the Sea Capital, obeying only the President's orders. I will choose a suitable person to become your Jinchūriki, or you can choose someone you have your eye on. And unlike the previous people, I can guarantee you as much freedom as possible, but complete freedom is out of the question, because those who want your power are not only the Shinobi World, but also the Ōtsutsuki from outside."
"And we will protect you Tailed Beast, ensuring you aren't captured and taken back to the Ten-Tails ' body. You should know what happens once you're inside the Ten-Tails ' body, right? And those outsiders from the Ōtsutsuki, heh, do you know? The Sage of Six Paths ' mother is on the moon. She was just one of the most insignificant women in the Ōtsutsuki Clan, and she betrayed the Ōtsutsuki. You are part of the God Tree she planted herself. Do you think those Ōtsutsuki will be incredibly excited to see you?"
Yuzuru looked at the Nine-Tails and said.
Hearing this, Nine-Tails fell silent.
Its memory is limited to the Sage of Six Paths, but it knows nothing about anything before that.
The little devil in front of you might be trying to scare you, but the chances of him scaring you are slim.
The sudden appearance of the large white bird truly instilled fear in it. Its ice man and ice dragon, while lacking the sealing abilities of that wooden bastard, could still halt the massive amount of Chakra within it.
That's not some special ability; it's just that the temperature is too low for it to withstand.
From every perspective, this brat is a more terrifying existence than Hashirama Senju. At least in this low temperature, Nine-Tails) doesn't think Hashirama Senju's Wood Golem are of any use.
No matter how hard or how full of life wood is, it is still wood, made up of cells. Low-temperature inactivation is simply the most basic way to damage and kill cells.
Even if Hashirama Senju himself came, being frozen in such low temperatures would likely result in instant death. No matter how strong one's life force is, it would dissipate in an instant. This is completely unreasonable.
"I can agree to that, but how can you guarantee me a certain degree of freedom?"
"That depends on you."
Yuzuru looked at it and smiled.
" Tailed Beast and their Jinchūriki, as long as they can get along genuinely and with the help of the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu, have many ways to enjoy freedom."
"Rin is now the Perfect Jinchuriki for the Three-Tails. Whenever Isobu out, he creates a miniature version of her body, stores his consciousness in it, and has Rin take him sightseeing, or he can wander around the Sea Capital his own pace."
Hearing this, even the Nine-Tails was somewhat tempted.
Although I will lose some freedom, at least I will no longer be in a despised position like before, and my safety will be guaranteed.
"Okay, I promise you, but you better keep your word."
"Then you can rest here. I'll bring Kushina's child to see you in a few days. Don't get any bad ideas. I don't like to use force. Just think of it as getting a feel for taking care of a baby."
Nine-Tails:...
Seeing Yuzuru and the Uchiha woman leave, Nine-Tails sat there dumbfounded.
It truly hadn't expected that Yuzuru would be so comfortable leaving it here.
What if it runs away?
After thinking it over, Nine-Tails decided to give up.
There's no way they can escape.
Just then, a caravan appeared on the path. The children on board, seeing the Nine-Tails sitting in the open space, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, what a big fox, and it has nine tails!"
"I am the Nine-Tails, the strongest Tailed Beast!"
Nine-Tails flicked its tail in dissatisfaction.
"You grumpy fox, huh? I'm going to tell my uncles at the Military Department and have them deal with you..."
"?"
How's the new house?
Yuzuru arrived at Kurenai Yuhi's house and asked.
"Hmm, not bad."
Hong nodded.
Yūhi Shinku looked at Yuzuru and sighed.
Now that things have come to this, he has to admire the kid.
"I'll go take a look at Sea Capital's documents. While I can still manage, I'll help you out."
Yūhi Shinku returned to her room, not wanting to see her daughter gazing at Yuzuru with such tenderness in her eyes.
My precious daughter has been taken away in the end.
"Let's go to your house."
Hong pulled Yuzuru along as they walked towards the next room.
As soon as she entered, she saw Uchiha Hikari explaining the Sea Capital system to Hatake Sakumo.
Kurenai Yuhi:?
"Well, well, Hikari has always lived with me; after all, she only trusts me."
Yuzuru explained.
Hong ignored him, but felt a strong sense of crisis.
In her opinion, Uchiha Hikari was simply trying to gain favor with Hatake Sakumo, how could she stand for that!
"From now on, I'm moving here too."
Uchiha Hikari glanced at Kurenai Yuhi and gave her a kind smile.
"Is she... is she provoking me? I'm the first wife!"
Seeing Hong's jealous expression, Yuzuru smiled and ruffled her hair.
Meanwhile, the Minato couple also moved into their new house.
"Looks like we'll be living here from now on."
Minato looked at Kushina and smiled helplessly.
"I don't see anything wrong with it. At least I'm not Jinchūriki anymore, and I won't be monitored every day."
"Besides, if you don't become a ninja, you'll have more time to spend with Naruto, and we can watch Naruto grow up happily."
Kushina looked at Naruto sleeping in her arms, her face full of maternal love.
Seeing this scene touched the deepest, most tender part of Minato's heart.
Wasn't everything he did just to get a peaceful life? Only he knows the hardships he endured on his journey from commoner to Hokage. Even so, he and his wife were still subject to many constraints. Now, they can finally break free from those constraints completely.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, Minato immediately went to open it.
Then he saw the familiar red hair, which made Minato momentarily dazed.
"May I ask who you are?"
"My name is Mie Uzumaki. May I ask if Kushina lives here? I heard from the President that this is a house prepared for Kushina. I heard you making some noise earlier, so I came to ask."
"Please come in. Kushina is my wife; she's inside."
Minato immediately invited the person in.
Kushina had just put Naruto down when she heard someone calling her, and immediately came out of the bedroom.
Then, she and Mie were both stunned.
That familiar red hair reminded Kushina of some past events.
Only when she saw the face that resembled her memory by about 80% did Kushina ask uncertainly, "Is that Mie- nee-nee?"
" Kushina, it really is you."
When Mie saw Kushina, she immediately rushed over and hugged her.
Kushina was the same; tears instantly streamed down her face.
After her clan was wiped out, Kushina never saw her relatives again, but she never expected to run into one today.
Although they are not blood sisters, they are not that different.
"Sister Mie, what are you doing here?"
"It was the President who sent Commander Kakashi to find my son and me, and brought us to the Sea Capital."
"You have children too?"
"Yes, her name is Karin Uzumaki."
Mie said with a smile.
"I had a baby yesterday, a boy named Naruto Uzumaki."
Kushina smiled happily, and Minato beside her also looked blissful.
"By the way, where's my brother-in-law? Where is he from?"
"He's just an ordinary person, already..."
Mie's expression immediately fell.
Seeing her like this, Kushina realized what was happening, gently hugged Mie, and said nothing.
"Let's not talk about that, Kushina. Which department are you going to? We can work together."
Which department?
"Yes, I work in the medical department. Lin is the head of the medical department. I heard her say that she was your student. In a way, Lin is also my teacher. I don't know anything; Lin taught me everything."
At this point, Mie became a little embarrassed.
"Well, I didn't know that. We just arrived in Sea Capital this morning... we're not familiar with the situation here yet."
Kushina shook her head in confusion.
"Alright, then you'd better find out quickly, it will definitely surprise you."
Minato quickly asked, " Mie- nee, may I ask, what's the difference between the Military Department in Sea Capital and the ninjas of the past?"
"I don't know about that; you'll have to figure it out for yourself. But Military Department personnel would never take a single needle or thread from the people, much less accept the hard-earned money of ordinary citizens before offering assistance."
Mie shook her head.
"You can ask Commander Kakashi; he's the commander-in-chief of the guard."
