Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

Time flies, another three months have passed!

During these three months, Minato Namikaze basically followed Jiraiya to carry out missions outside and gain experience. Dihuangwan only gave him some guidance when he returned to the village to rest.

On this day, Jiraiya's team returned from another C-level escort mission. Everyone had a dinner at the Akimichi family's barbecue restaurant, and Dihuangmaru and Kushina also participated.

"Senior Jiraiya, how has Minato been doing recently?"

"Very good, Minato has a very good grasp of the situation! During the battle, his on-the-spot reaction was also extremely quick! He is worthy of being your disciple!"

"Senior Jiraiya, don't say that. You are also Minato's teacher. I only taught Minato the basic training. As for the guidance on combat and other aspects, you have made an invaluable contribution!"

"Haha, Dihuangwan, you are such a good talker! Come on, let's have a drink!"

Seeing Minato and the others talking and laughing, and telling Kushina about things outside, Kushina showed an envious expression, Dihuangwan couldn't help but feel distressed, "It's time to take Kushina out for a walk!"

"Dihuang Wan, I feel a little guilty about robbing your disciple. The old man and the others..."

Dihuangwan interrupted Jiraiya, "Senior Jiraiya, it is a blessing for Minato to receive your guidance. I have never thought of competing with the top leaders. Everything I do is for the village. Quarrels will only bring estrangement. I also hope that some people can withdraw their hands and stop. Otherwise, if they provoke me again and again, I don't mind cutting off all their hands! Senior Jiraiya, I hope you can forward my thoughts to the Hokage!"

"Well, I know that the village has indeed gone too far. If Tsunade encountered such a thing, she would definitely not be polite! Orochimaru and I will stand on your side!" Jiraiya could of course see that Sarutobi Hiruzen and other high-level officials were suppressing Dihuangmaru openly and covertly, and he was also very disgusted with their behavior in his heart.

"When the external pressure is gone, internal friction will begin. However, such struggles among the top leaders will not benefit the village at all!" Dihuang Wan took a sip of sake and then changed the subject.

"It's been a few months since our last sparring match. Is it necessary for him to work so hard on his experiments?"

"I don't quite know what experiment he is doing. I went to see him twice, but was stopped by his assistant each time on the grounds that no one could enter the laboratory at will. Although Orochimaru came out to see me later, he didn't reveal any information about the experiment!" Jiraiya shook his head.

"That's right. I haven't seen him for a long time. I'll go to his laboratory to see him some other day!" Dihuangwan said.

"It seems that Orochimaru's experiment should enter the human trial stage!" Dihuangwan thought to himself.

After having enough wine and food, everyone went back to their homes.

Since graduating from the Ninja Academy, Kushina moved to Dihuangmaru's house so that Dihuangmaru and Kurama Feiyun could take care of her.

As for the Senju clan’s original residence, even Tsunade rarely goes back to live there now!

Under pressure from Dihuangwan, the Anbu ninjas who had been monitoring Kushina day and night have now withdrawn!

Unfortunately, Kushina is destined not to learn medical ninjutsu. Like Dihuangwan, her Guiyuan Power can only be used to heal her own injuries. For others, it can only be used to regulate their bodies at most!

At night, Dihuangwan brought Kushina to the Konoha Spirit Gathering Array for training. Kushina was born with a large amount of chakra, and in her growth in the Sea of ​​Return to Origin, she went further than Minato!

But there is still some distance to reach the complete Sea of ​​Return to Origin!

Because of the practice of Tai Chi Water Mysterious Art, both Kushina and Minato's previous chakra attributes were all invalidated and transformed into the water-attributed return to origin force!

In other words, some of Dihuang Wan's water-attribute skills can be used by both of them!

However, at present, Dihuang Wan has only taught the two basic water-attribute skills. The two little guys are still young and have not formed their own style!

After thinking about it, Dihuangwan felt that his style was not suitable for the two of them. The most suitable for Minato was the fully maneuverable Rasengan and Flying Thunder God! And the most suitable for Kushina was undoubtedly the violent output after the tailed beast transformation!

So, as Kushina practiced in the spirit gathering array, Dihuangwan once again came to the space where the Nine-Tails was sealed!

As soon as I arrived at the sealed space of the Nine-Tailed Fox, it was obviously much brighter than the last time I came. The Nine-Tailed Fox was dozing comfortably, swinging its tail!

Dihuangwan smiled, "It seems that Kushina and Kyuubi have been getting along well recently!"

Sensing Dihuangwan's arrival, Kyuubi opened his eyes, "Huh, what are you doing here again?! Huh? The aura on you is stronger than before!"

"Kurama, you look in good condition! Your aura is not as violent and dark as before, and the sealed space is also brighter than before. It seems that you are getting along well with Kushina!" Dihuangwan said.

"Teacher, are you here to chat with Kurama too?" Kushina's voice came.

Dihuangwan looked to the side and saw Kushina also came to the sealed space, "Kurouma, we meet again!"

Kushina waved towards the Nine-Tails, her eyes curved into crescents!

Looking at Kushina who greeted him, the corners of Kyuubi's mouth rose unconsciously, but on the surface he snorted coldly, "Humph, you come to bother me again!"

It fits the setting of Nine-Tailed Fox, a tsundere and unfrank fox!

Patting Kushina's head, "I came to see how you two have been getting along during this time, and to see if Kurama has bullied my Kushina!"

When Jiuwei heard this, he was unhappy, "Hey, Dihuangwan! What do you mean! How could I bully a little girl! Do I still have any face?"

"Oh? Really? You have bullied and threatened my Kushina many times before!" Dihuangwan said.

"That was in the past, we were not familiar with each other, this old man..." Kyuubi lost his composure!

But Kushina came to the rescue of the Nine-Tails, "Teacher, Kurama didn't bully me. Kurama is a very nice person. We often chat with each other! We are good friends!"

Listening to Kushina's words, Nine-Tails showed an expression as if to say, look, I didn't lie to you!

Seeing this, Dihuang Wan laughed out loud, "Kushina, you two are getting along well, I feel relieved! Kurama, it seems that you still listened to what I said last time I came here!"

"Hmph, since you know those secrets, your words are naturally trustworthy!" said Jiuwei.

"Okay, to thank you for your transformation of Kushina, I will return the favor and change the seal for you!" Dihuangwan said, "The current seal is too airtight, I will loosen it a little so that you can sense what is happening outside! In this way, you can see the world from Kushina's perspective!"

After hearing this, Kyuubi immediately lost his composure, and his tail began to wag. "Really? Change it quickly! I've been sealed for so many years, I'm almost suffocating to death!"

Dihuang Wan shook his head, snapped his fingers, summoned the sealing ritual and key, made some changes, then snapped his fingers again, and the sealing ritual and key disappeared!

At this time, the Nine-Tailed Fox can observe everything from Naruto's perspective, just like when it was in Naruto's stomach in the anime!
