Kushina is now the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and that hasn't changed. However, the seal on Kushina's body is now at its most secure, preventing the Nine-Tails ' power from leaking out in the slightest, Kushina is also unable to use the Nine-Tails ' power.
Uya had assumed that the unexpectedly appearing Mirei Uzumaki would replace Kushina as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but that did not happen.
This has made the previously somewhat clear future murky again, making it impossible to see clearly.
"Speaking of which, Mirei has been living with you all this time?"
Uya quickly finished the snacks Kushina had given him, then casually asked...
Kushina shrugged and said, "She's been acting all mysterious lately. Although she's still living with me, she's been appearing and disappearing like a ghost. I have no idea what she's up to."
"Alright, let's ignore her and go for a walk over there."
After shaking her head, Kushina smiled sweetly at Uya and pointed ahead.
Seeing her expression, Uya couldn't help but smile, and suddenly reached out a finger and gently scratched the corner of her mouth.
Some cream was suddenly visible on my fingertips.
It was the same sweet that Kushina had just bought. She was about to eat it when she realized that Kushina was different from other girls. Although she was usually associated with gentleness, she was different at heart; otherwise, she wouldn't have the nickname "Red Hot-Blooded Habanero."
He gave Kushina a slightly teasing look, then put the cream from his Uya to his lips.
This action immediately brought a lovely blush to Kushina's cheeks.
The two continued walking forward and soon emerged from the street, arriving at a very familiar place— the Konoha Ninja Academy.
Upon arriving here, Uya's expression turned nostalgic once again.
Uya can't remember exactly how old he was when his jumbled memories came together, restored his consciousness, and made him realize that he was a transmigrator.
After he understood all this, Uya began a hard struggle, trying to become stronger. After all, in the Hokage world, if you don't become stronger, you're just cannon fodder, someone who could die at any moment.
Uya didn't want to be cannon fodder.
However, after many attempts, Uya found that he had great difficulty refining Chakra and could hardly practice Ninjutsu.
Fortunately, Uya knew that even if he only trained in Taijutsu, he could still become very strong. So, Uya began his hellish training, while other children were playing around in class and learning Ninjutsu.
Uya was always putting in her best effort to train her Taijutsu.
Moreover, at that time, Uya was also enduring the cold stares of many people, as well as various forms of sabotage from her Chunin teacher Kato Ya.
Looking back now, Uya smiled and felt relieved.
It can be considered a case of hardship finally paying off. Without that fruit, he wouldn't have reached his current level, and even with that fruit, he wouldn't have reached his current level without his relentless cultivation.
"Shall we go inside and take a look around?"
Kushina saw the Ninja Academy and a hint of nostalgia appeared on her face. She tugged at Uya's arm.
"Um."
Uya nodded, and then the two of them walked into the Ninja Academy.
"Hey, why didn't you go welcome the village heroes?"
A Chunin instructor was walking on the playground when he suddenly saw Kato Ya standing there and couldn't help but smile.
Chunin instructors are usually Chunin who have exhausted their potential and are unlikely to be promoted to Chunin Jonin. Kato Ya was Chunin instructor several years ago, and naturally he is still Chunin instructor now.
"Wait a minute, speaking of which, Konoha Shura, Lord Uya, seems to be a student in your class, right? This is a great honor!"
The Chunin teacher walked up to Kato Ya, suddenly remembered something, and gave Kato Ya an envious look.
Kato Ya looked at the man's envious expression, but his own expression was unnatural. He forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes."
After giving a somewhat perfunctory reply, Kato Ya turned around, looking as if he were fleeing in panic.
The Chunin teacher shrugged, looking somewhat puzzled.
Kato Ya walked through the campus somewhat disheveled, his heart filled with endless regret.
How could he have imagined that Uya, who had extremely poor talent and was practically at the bottom of the class, could grow to this level in just a few years?!
If he had treated Uya better back then, his status would definitely have risen to a much higher level now because of Uya's reputation.
Walking aimlessly with his head down, Kato Ya almost bumped into someone after a while. Luckily, he was a ninja and reacted just before the collision, forcibly twisting his body.
"Um..."
Kato Ya looked up and immediately saw two very familiar figures, and was stunned for a moment.
Then, in the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened.
He recognized the person in front of him; it was none other than his former student, Uya, now the Konoha Shura!
Uya's soft voice seemed to carry a chilling wind from hell.
"Long time no see, Kato-sensei."
"Hmm... long time no see..."
Cold sweat beaded on Kato Ya's forehead, and his heart skipped a beat. Even though he knew this was Konoha and that Uya shouldn't be able to do anything to him, he was still terrified.
Because if Uya really holds a grudge, he might not even know how he died!
The difference in their social status was like heaven and earth, completely incomparable.
Uya looked at his former Chunin teacher, who was trembling all over and whose eyes were filled with fear, with a calm and indifferent gaze.
Speaking of which, this Chunin teacher seems to be a ninja from the Kato Clan, and he appears to be related to Dan Katō from the original story as brothers.
Kushina stood silently to the side watching. She knew all too well how many difficult problems and obstacles this Chunin teacher had given Uya back when they were in school.
However, seeing the current state of this Chunin teacher, Kushina sighed inwardly. In fact, this Chunin teacher was quite kind to the other students, but his attitude towards people from other villages was rather indifferent.
Turning to look at Uya, Kushina's beautiful eyes flickered, wondering what Uya would do next.
However, Uya did nothing, gently took her small hand, and continued to lead her forward.
Let's go.
"Um."
Kushina nodded and followed Uya away.
After the two had walked quite a distance, Kato Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his whole body was soaked in sweat, and even the ground beneath his feet was a little damp.
Uya didn't do anything to him, simply ignoring him and walking past. This dispelled the fear in Yu Ye's heart, and instead made him look extremely guilty.
He took a deep breath, a look of regret in his eyes, and then silently turned and left. (To be continued.)
