The man standing at the top of the ninja world

As soon as she entered the Senju Clan and even before she reached the courtyard where the main house was located, Uzumaki Kushina habitually shouted loudly, "I'm back."

Nagato walked side by side with her. Because he was very tired and Kushina had already shouted it once, he didn't make a sound.

The lights were on in the yard, and Yahiko and Konan were sitting here. They each held a thick dictionary in their hands and were looking at it intently. When they heard this voice, they raised their heads and looked over in unison.

Both of them are already very familiar with Uzumaki Kushina's voice, and unlike Nagato Yahiko's bad relationship with each other, during this time, Konan has become very good friends with Uzumaki Kushina.

A smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Uzumaki Kushina who walked in, "Kushina, come back." Just halfway through her words, Konan saw Nagato who walked in with Uzumaki Kushina one step behind, and was slightly stunned. After a moment, he said with some surprise: "Hey, you are also here, Nagato."

Based on Konan's observations and actual communication with Uzumaki Kushina, she already knew that among the three of them, Uzumaki Kushina disliked Nagato the most, a boy from the same clan as her, who often got into trouble with her over trivial matters. Nagato gets into an argument.

Normally when they go to school, they don't want to walk together, and would stay several meters apart, one behind the other. As a result, now, the two of them are actually walking side by side, looking very harmonious.

Moreover, the more critical question is, how could the two of them be together? Shouldn't Nagato go out to the forest to practice ninjutsu?

Konan looked back and forth between the two of them and asked in confusion: "Kushina, why did you come back with Nagato?"

"Well, that's it." When Uzumaki Kushina heard this, the expression on her face was slightly flustered. The real situation must not be told to Konan and Yahiko. The matter of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is one of Konoha's most important secrets. There are only a few ninjas in Konoha who know the identity of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

She would talk about this matter to Nagato because she was emotionally broken at the time and urgently needed to find someone to talk to. In addition, Nagato was a member of the Uzumaki clan like her and was related to Kyuubi. .

Damn, I forgot about this. I was too busy thinking about the multiple shadow clone technique. I didn't think of the reason in advance. Kushina, you are such an idiot. Uzumaki Kushina cursed herself in her heart.

Before she could think of a suitable excuse, Nagato had already answered: "Xonan, it's like this. When I was practicing ninjutsu in the forest, I met Kushina who walked into the forest. It turned out that she and I Likewise, I went there to practice ninjutsu."

"The open space where we practice is very big, even if the two of us put together it is more than enough, so we practice there together and come back together after dark."

Uzumaki Kushina nodded hurriedly after hearing this, "Yes, that's it. He and I met by chance."

"That's it." Xiaonan nodded and smiled, "Anyway, it's good that you guys are back."

"Nagato, it was dark just now and you haven't come back yet. Yahiko and I are a little worried that you may have encountered any danger while practicing ninjutsu."

The reason why Konan is only worried about Nagato and not Uzumaki Kushina is because Uzumaki Kushina often comes back very late. She and Yahiko are used to it, and Nagato came back very early the few times he went to the forest to practice. .

"Yes, Nagato." Yahiko continued what Konan said: "If you don't come back, Konan and I are going to go out to find you."

"Sorry." Nagato smiled apologetically, "I made you worry. Kushina and I were so devoted to practicing ninjutsu that it got dark before we knew it. I made you worry about me, no. Sorry."

"Don't be so polite, we are partners."

"By the way, Nagato, Kushina." Konan said softly: "You two have been practicing for so long, you must be very hungry. Grandma Mito has prepared dinner and is waiting for you two to come back together. have eaten."

"Really? That's great. I've been practicing all day and I'm about to starve to death." Nagato said excitedly. He was indeed hungry. He was exhausted from practicing all day. At noon The little bento he ate could not replenish his consumption.

The four of them walked into the house, where Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade were already waiting.

At the dinner table, Mito Uzumaki looked at Nagato and Kushina Uzumaki who were enjoying their meal with a smile on his face.

She sensed their chakra right after the two entered the Senju clan, and now it seems that the relationship between the two has improved a lot, and they no longer quarrel as easily as before.

Although it is not clear why this is happening, as a princess of the Uzumaki clan, she is still very pleased to see that the relationship between the two remaining descendants of the same clan has improved.

......

The next morning, the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage was sitting at his desk, holding a piece of white paper in both hands and looking at the contents recorded on the paper attentively.

This was sent to him by the ANBU member responsible for protecting Nagato, and what was recorded on it was Nagato's intelligence yesterday.

Originally, this information was reported to the Third Hokage once a week, but after Nagato proposed the plan of using multiple shadow clones to practice ninjutsu, the Third Hokage paid much more attention to him, and it was changed to once a day, every morning. Let the Third Hokage watch here.

When seeing Uzumaki Kushina revealing information about the Nine-Tails to Nagato, the Third Hokage couldn't help but frown slightly, and then saw some surprise on his face when Nagato guessed that Uzumaki Kushina was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

Finally, when he saw that Nagato was willing to replace Uzumaki Kushina as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the surprise on his face disappeared and turned into a thoughtful look.

After breakfast at the Senju clan station, Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, and Uzumaki Kushina bid farewell to Uzumaki Mito and headed to the ninja school together.

Walking on the road, Uzumaki Kushina pulled Konan in front, while Yahiko and Nagato fell behind.

Yahiko glanced at Uzumaki Kushina, then turned to Nagato, and whispered: "Nagato, do you think this guy Kushina seems to be a little strange?"

Nagato blinked, "Really? I think she is the same as before."

"Of course, Nagato, she kept staring at you during breakfast just now. Didn't you notice at all?"

"Besides, she would normally quarrel with you or me, but today she is quiet. Isn't this strange enough?"

Nagato smiled reluctantly, "Yahiko, I think you are worrying too much. Maybe Kushina wants to be friends with us. You can see that she and Konan get along very well."

"Nagato, Konan is a girl. She is different from us. Kushina usually has such a bad attitude towards the two of us. How could she suddenly want to be friends with us?"

Yahiko's face became serious and he said seriously, "Don't take it seriously. There must be something weird in this. Maybe Kushina is brewing some conspiracy against the two of us."

Nagato: ""
