The man standing at the top of the ninja world

The space in front of him began to become blurry and illusory, and the next moment, Nagato's consciousness had returned to his body.

He still maintained his original posture, reaching out and pressing Kushina Uzumaki's forehead, and Kushina Uzumaki had already opened her eyes.

Nagato retracted the door handle, looked around, and found that the Third Hokage, Mito Uzumaki, Tsunade, and three Hokage advisors were all surrounding the two of them, looking at them nervously.

Seeing the two of them waking up, the Third Hokage breathed a long sigh of relief, "Nagato, Kushina, you two are finally awake."

After seeing the Nine-Tails' chakra converge, Uzumaki Mito immediately rearranged the Bagua seal for Uzumaki Kushina, but Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina did not wake up immediately after the seal was completed, which made him worried. , afraid that something unexpected would happen to the two of them in the conscious space.

He looked at Nagato with emotion and said: "Nagato, thanks to you this time, I didn't expect that in the end it would be up to you to use illusions to turn the tide and suppress the crazy Kyuubi."

Nagato shook his head, "Thank you, Hokage-sama. I tried my best and could only suppress the Nine-Tails for a few seconds. If the seal was completed one second later, Kushina and I would probably be killed by the Nine-Tails." Torn to pieces.”

His success this time was entirely due to his intelligence superiority in deceiving the Kyuubi, rather than any illusions, so he had to be more modest, otherwise it would be bad for the Third Hokage to overestimate his illusions.

"Grandma Mito." Uzumaki Kushina stood up and walked to Uzumaki Mito, her eyes slightly red.

The latter's body was stooped and her spirit was a little sluggish, as if she had aged more than ten years in an instant. After successfully placing the Bagua seal on Uzumaki Kushina's body, she had very little strength left.

Even the Uzumaki clan, which is known for its vitality, will still die after the tailed beast is extracted, just to be able to hold on for a while longer.

Uzumaki Mito herself didn't have much sentimentality. She touched Uzumaki Kushina's head and said, "Kushina, from now on, you will be the new Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. You must get along with the Nine-Tails well." , let it open its heart to accept you as a Jinchuuriki, instead of being like me, who can only rely on sealing techniques to forcibly suppress it."

"I know, I will definitely do it." Uzumaki Kushina's voice already had a hint of crying.

Uzumaki Mito smiled at her, looked at the Third Hokage, and said: "Hiruzhan, I can hold on for a while longer, please send me back. During this last period, I want to stay at home."

"Yes." The Third Hokage nodded and said to the three advisors: "Danzo, Men Yan, and Koharu, collect the bodies of Hideki and the others. Let's go back."

Upon hearing this, the three advisors each took out scrolls and put away the bodies of Ou Hideki and the other ten people.

"Alas." Looking at this scene, the Third Hokage sighed softly. These ten people are the ninjas with the strongest sealing skills in Konoha Village except Uzumaki Mito. He spent a lot of resources to train them. Thinking that this time he was wiped out by the Nine-Tails in one fell swoop.

The Third Hokage could not help but feel a trace of regret in his heart. If he had known that Nagato could use illusion to suppress the Kyuubi, then these ten sealed ninjas would not have died in vain.

But he also knew that this was impossible. There were no what-ifs in the world. Before that, he would never have believed that Nagato could use illusion to suppress the Kyuubi. At that time, he agreed to Nagato's proposal because he had no other choice.

Fortunately, the Nine-Tails was successfully sealed into the body of the next Jinchuuriki, which allowed the Third Hokage to finally accept this result.

......

After a while, everyone rushed back to the Thousand Hands Clan's station.

Walking into the hall, they saw Konan and Yahiko sleeping on the sofa on the other side.

During this period of time, Tsunade, Nagato, Uzumaki Kushina, Konan, and Yahiko have been guarding Uzumaki Mito day and night. However, Konan and Yahiko cannot know about the transfer of Kyuubi, so before departure, Uzumaki Mito asked the two to rest for a while, and then asked Nagato to use genjutsu on them to ensure that they would not wake up suddenly.

The Third Hokage and others accompanied Mito Uzumaki into the room, while Nagato released the genjutsu for Konan and Yahiko in turn.

"Nagato, what's the matter?" Yahiko had just woken up and his mind was still a little unclear. Konan on the other side also looked at Nagato blankly.

Nagato said in a serious tone: "Yahiko, Konan, Grandma Mito...she is dying."

"What did you say?" The two people's eyes widened, and they lost sleep in an instant.

After walking into the room with Konan and Yahiko, Nagato saw Mito Uzumaki lying on the bed, with everyone surrounding her.

Walking to the bedside and looking at the white-haired Uzumaki Mito, Nagato's nose felt sour, a strong sadness arose in his heart, and his eyes were gradually blurred by tears.

From the moment he came to Konoha, the old man in front of him had given him meticulous care, given him the best life, taught him how to refine chakra, guided his cultivation, and taught him all kinds of ninjutsu without hesitation.

It is undeniable that the reason why Uzumaki Mito is so kind to him is because he values ​​​​his relationship with the Samsara Eye, but Uzumaki Mito's concern for him is real. After being together for so many years, they have become real relatives. , Nagato has long regarded Uzumaki Mito as his grandmother.

"Grandma Mito." Kushina Uzumaki, Konan, and Yahiko have cried countless times during this time, but seeing this scene, they couldn't help but sob again.

Tsunade's control was much stronger than that of their three children, but when the last relative left, she found it difficult to control her emotions. She bit her lips and tears kept pouring from her eyes.

Uzumaki Mito's expression was very calm. Her eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the room one by one, and finally stopped on Nagato's face. She said slowly: "Nagato, from now on, you will be the next member of the Uzumaki clan. The clan leader."

She was the princess of the Kingdom of Whirlpool. After the Kingdom of Whirlpool was destroyed, she naturally became the leader of the Uzumaki clan. At her last breath, she decided to make Nagato the next clan leader.

No one in the room made a sound. This was the private matter of the Uzumaki clan, and not even the Hokage had the right to interfere.

Moreover, Nagato is indeed the only candidate for the clan leader. He is a boy, and his strength and potential far exceed Kushina Uzumaki. Mito Uzumaki has no reason not to choose him. Everyone agrees with this choice, even Kushina Uzumaki. There will be no objection.

"Yes." Nagato nodded. He had no interest in being the clan leader. What's more, the Uzumaki clan has now declined. After Uzumaki Mito died, only he and Uzumaki Kushina were left with two underage children. , to put it harshly, it is already on the verge of destruction, and this patriarch has no meaning.

However, since this was Uzumaki Mito's decision, he had no reason to refuse.

Uzumaki Mito paused and continued: "Nagato, Kushina, and the Uzumaki clan's ninjutsu are all placed in the cabinet next to the bed. You two can learn them freely in the future. However, the highest level of S-class The sealing techniques are too dangerous for you now, I gave them to Hiruzen, and you must wait until you two grow up to learn them."

"We understand, don't worry, Grandma Mito." Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina said together.

"Also, although the Kingdom of Whirlpool has been destroyed, I think besides the three of us, there should be surviving clan members living in other places in the ninja world."

"Over the years, Konoha has been trying its best to find the Uzumaki clan members scattered in the ninja world, but it has never been very effective. Except for Kushina, who was brought to Konoha before the demise of the Uzumaki Kingdom, there is only Nagato was discovered in the Land of Rain. If there is a chance, you must find the surviving clan members and bring them back to Konoha."

"Yes." Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina nodded together, but he did not have any hope for this in his heart.

There are only a few Uzumaki clan members who appear in the entire Naruto series, and no new Uzumaki clan members appear in the subsequent Boruto. At this point in time, after Mito Uzumaki dies, there will probably be only the remaining Uzumaki clan members in the ninja world. Himself, Uzumaki Kushina, and Karin's mother who doesn't know where she lives now.

Uzumaki Mito's eyes turned and looked at Nagato, Uzumaki Kushina, Konan, and Yahiko, and her voice became weaker and weaker.

"Nagato, Kushina, Konan, Yahiko."

"I am truly blessed to have you by my side in the last few years of my life."

"Although we are not related by blood, in my heart, you, like Tsunade, are my grandsons and granddaughters."

"Grandma Mito." The four of them couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

Uzumaki Mito smiled and comforted: "Okay, don't cry. Didn't I say that everyone will die? You don't need to be so sad."

"Although the four of you are from other countries, Konoha is your home. Promise me that you will stay here forever and live a good life."

The four of them cried and said, "Yes, we will."

Uzumaki Mito showed a trace of relief on his face, and finally looked at Tsunade, "Tsunade, you are a girl. You should try to go to places like casinos as little as possible in the future."

"This is your grandfather's...bad habit. You have to...change it, otherwise it will be...bad if you can't get married."

Tsunade burst into tears and choked with sobs: "Grandma, don't worry, I will do it."

"Yeah." Uzumaki Mito hummed and stopped talking. After a few minutes, she slowly closed her eyes.
