The man standing at the top of the ninja world

The Senju Clan's headquarters in Konoha Ninja Village in the Country of Fire.

The Thousand Hands Clan's residence occupies Aurora. At a glance, there are houses stacked one on top of another, demonstrating the strength of the Thousand Hands Clan. However, it is a pity that most of these houses are no longer inhabited.

The Senju clan was once one of the most powerful clans in the entire ninja world. After defeating the Uchiha clan, they even removed one or two characters and became the strongest ninja clan. In Konoha, they are even more powerful. existence, two of the three Hokages in Konoha so far belong to the Senju clan, and the third generation Hokage also studied under the Senju clan. At its peak, the Senju clan alone had nearly a hundred senior members. Tolerate.

But times have changed, and even the strongest ninja clan cannot escape the passage of time. The once powerful clan seems like a dream, and the Senju clan, which used to be bustling with people, has now become deserted. Only these houses still bear witness to the glory of the past.

Nowadays, the Senju clan has declined to the point where there are only two or three big cats and kittens left. After the death of the last male member of the clan, Senju Noshu, a few years ago, they are facing the crisis of extinction.

And now, the Senju clan belongs to the most noble person in Konoha, the wife of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, the princess of the Uzumaki clan, and the first nine-tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha, Uzumaki Mito is in charge.

At this moment, outside the door of the room where Uzumaki Mito lives, at the highest point of power in the Konoha Ninja Village, Mito Kadoen and Koharu, who are advisors to the Hokage, are standing quietly.

The two of them looked solemn, their brows furrowed together, and their expressions were full of worry.

After waiting for a few minutes, a middle-aged man wearing a god robe and a hat hurriedly walked over from outside. It was Konoha's third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Today, Sarutobi Hiruzen is in his prime. He is much taller than when he was older. He does not even have a single white hair on his head. Compared with the image of the kind old grandfather he later had, he looks much more majestic.

Seeing the Third Hokage walking over, Mito Kadoren pushed up his glasses and said, "Hiruzhan, you're here."

"Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his two classmates and said in a low tone: "Do Yan, Koharu, Mito-sama really decide to do this?"

"That's right." Koharu's face turned a little gloomy when he went to bed, "We have tried to persuade her, but it was of no use. Mito-sama, she still insists on her decision. Now she is waiting for you to come."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, "I understand, let me go and talk to Mito-sama."

After saying that, he walked to the door and knocked twice.

"Come in." A female voice came from behind the door.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the door and walked into the room. He saw Mito Uzumaki sitting on a chair. When he saw him coming in, he gave him a kind smile.

"Ri Zhan, you are here."

Looking at Uzumaki Mito's old face, and thinking about what she was going to do, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but said: "Mito-sama, you have really decided to do this, Why don’t you think about it carefully?”

"There is nothing to think about. I have already thought about everything." Uzumaki Mito smiled and shook his head, and said slowly: "Kushina is a good child. She is excellent in all aspects. She is good at sealing techniques. His talent is even better than mine, and he is the best candidate to succeed me as the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails."

"I believe that Kushina will be able to surpass me in the future and do what I have not been able to do. She can truly resolve the hatred in Kyuubi's heart, become good friends with Kyuubi, and become a person who can make Kyuubi voluntarily distribute chakra. Give her the perfect Jinchuuriki, instead of me, who can only rely on sealing techniques to forcibly steal some chakra from the Kyuubi."

"By that time, Konoha will never have to worry about the danger of the Nine-Tails losing control, and the jinchūriki will no longer be ostracized by the villagers."

"Kushina is indeed a good child." Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, "But she is still too young. We can let her become the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki in a few years when she grows up. Mito-sama, you still have a long lifespan. There is no need to rush to transfer the Kyuubi into Kushina's body now. If you do this, you will..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stopped talking.

Once the jinchuriki is extracted from the tailed beast, he will definitely die. There is no way to change this, even if Uzumaki Mito is a member of the Uzumaki clan known for his strong vitality.

This is one of the most basic common sense about jinchuriki. The old man in front of him knows it better than him.

"You will die, right?" The smile on Uzumaki Mito's face remained, and her voice was unusually calm, as if she was discussing not herself, but the life and death of others.

"Hiruzhan, you are right, there is still some time before I die."

"But now it's time for me to separate the Kyuubi from my body."

"Why?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at her in confusion.

"Because I'm old." Uzumaki Mito shook his head and sighed: "I can feel that as I get older, my chakra is gradually fading."

"Although because of the existence of the seal, even if I become weaker than I am now, the Kyuubi will not be able to break through the seal on me, but this is not absolute."

"If you want to transfer the Kyuubi from me to Kushina's body, you must first release the sealing technique on me."

"In other words, when the Nine-Tails is transferred, it is also the time when the Nine-Tails gets rid of the seal."

"At that time, I must personally use the King Kong seal to suppress the Kyuubi. Only then can you successfully transfer the Kyuubi into Kushina's body and rearrange the seal on her body so that she can become the new Kyuubi. The tail jinchuriki."

Uzumaki Mito said this with a wry smile, "No one in this world knows better than me how terrifying the power of the Nine-Tails is."

"Right now, I am still confident that I can use the King Kong Blockade to temporarily suppress the Nine-Tails when I separate it, and cooperate with you to complete the transfer. But if in a few years, when I am about to die of old age, and my chakra has further faded, It will be difficult to do this again, and the possibility of Nine-Tails losing control will be greatly increased."

"In Konoha now, there are no ninjas who can subdue the Kyuubi as easily as my husband and Uchiha Madara."

"During the decades that it has been sealed in my body, the Nine-Tails' resentment has grown day by day, and its hatred towards me and Konoha has become stronger and stronger. Once the Nine-Tails loses control, the consequences will be unimaginable, and even the entire Konoha will be completely destroyed by it. Possibility of destruction.”

"Even so, we can also think of other ways to reduce the possibility of the Nine-Tails losing control. Although the Nine-Tails is powerful, it is only a beast after all. We can mobilize a large number of sealing squads to cooperate with the sealing of the Nine-Tails, so that your If the strength declines, there is no possibility that Nine-Tails will lose control and go berserk."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked excited. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and said hurriedly: "Moreover, if the Kyuubi is transferred now, what will happen to Tsunade? You are her last relative in this world. Tsunade is now She is fighting hard in the Kingdom of Rain, even if Kyuubi has to be transferred, she must come back to see you for the last time, otherwise, it will be too cruel to her."

"Hiruzen, please stop talking."

Uzumaki Mito interrupted the Third Hokage's words, her face had returned to calmness, and even looked a little indifferent.

"I am the wife of the first Hokage who founded Konoha, and I belong to Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. I cannot let Konoha take such a big risk just to keep myself alive for a few more years."

"As for Tsunade." Uzumaki Mito paused slightly here and his eyes softened, but immediately, these softness was replaced by perseverance.

"No one knows when the war in the Land of Rain will end. There is no time to wait for her to come back. Tsunade is also a ninja of Konoha. I believe she will understand my choice."

"I have decided. You should call Kushina to my place now, and then prepare with Koharu Koharu and the others to transfer the things Kyuubi needs."

Uzumaki Mito finished speaking and closed his eyes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uzumaki Mito, was silent for a long time, and nodded with difficulty, "Mito-sama, I understand, I will do as you say."

He turned around and was about to go out when he saw the door of the room was suddenly pushed open gently, and a small, red toad jumped in.
