Konoha: Who is the good person?

Time returned to an hour prior.

In the Cloud Village, inside the Raikage's office.

The Third Raikage, Ai, looked at Yugito Nii and Musai standing before him, and said in a deep voice.

"Half an hour ago, a message was relayed from the front lines that the advance hazard elimination team was ambushed by the Mist Village upon landing on an isolated island of the Land of the Sea. Special Jonin, Seisei, was killed in action."

Yugito stared blankly at the Third Raikage.

Seeming unable to believe the news she had just heard.

Tears flowed silently down her cheeks, and the world before her became hazy and blurred.

"Raikage-sama, my, my old man......"

Musai's mind went blank, tears streaming down his face. He opened his mouth several times, but didn't know what to say or ask.

His retirement application had already been approved.

Having ceased being a ninja, he was suddenly notified by the Anbu to come to the Raikage's office.

On the way, he had thought of many possibilities and had already prepared himself mentally.

But when he actually heard the news of his relative's death, he seemed far less strong than he had imagined.

"In the battle against the Mist Village ninjas, Jonin Seisei was fearless in the face of danger, formulated the best tactics against the enemy, protected Jonin Nikai, who lacked mission experience, and successfully rescued Jonin Troy, who was in danger! To create an opportunity for his teammates to escape, he took the initiative to stay behind, successfully delaying the enemy ninja's pursuit, and ultimately sacrificed himself heroically! He is a hero of the Cloud Village! An excellent ninja who carried out the Will of Lightning!"

Dotai, who had been standing by, stepped forward and explained the situation in detail.

"A hero?"

Musai sobbed uncontrollably, wiping away his tears with his sleeve.

Recalling the proud expression his old man wore when he admired him.

His heart ached even more.

In fact, he didn't admire heroes that much, he only admired his own old man.

"Liar! You're all liars! Uncle promised me......"

Yugito murmured softly.

Like a pitiful little beast who had lost her only support, she looked blankly at everything around her.

On the surface of her body.

The Two-Tailed Cat, Matatabi's, flame-like azure tailed beast chakra enveloped her whole body.

Two tails formed from chakra swayed behind her.

The Raikage frowned, his whole body exuding the terrifying power of a Kage-level expert.

But the current Yugito couldn't hear what he was saying at all, let alone feel the aura on his body.

A tearing sound, like cloth being ripped, came from her mind.

Her consciousness instantly entered the depths of her mindscape.

A young man wearing a Konoha Jonin flak jacket, with dazzling golden hair, was now sitting on top of the Two-Tailed Cat, Matatabi's, head.

While saying something to the Two-Tails, he impolitely patted its head.

Originally, in Yugito's mind, the big cat, who didn't have a very good temper, was now lying on the ground dejectedly, not daring to resist at all.

Seeing Yugito come in.

Its body stiffened for a moment, and it slowly covered its big face with its two big cat paws.

"......Uncle?"

Yugito tilted her little head, with a bit of uncertainty, and spoke softly.

Some details of the sealed memories flowed back.

And various sealing techniques, tailed beast control secrets, cultivation experiences, etc., constantly flashed in her mind......

"Knowing that I'm not dead, are you happy?"

Yamanaka Kei jumped down from the top of the Two-Tailed Cat, Matatabi's, head and walked out of the cage formed by the Iron Armor Seal.

Coming to Yugito, he rubbed her little head.

"Big liar."

Yugito pouted her little mouth pitifully.

Slightly tiptoeing, making the feeling on the top of her head more real.

"Now that there is the power of the Two-Tails to conceal it, it will be difficult for the Raikage to detect your abnormality, but after a long time, he will always notice something is wrong. There are some things, I will make a long story short......"

Yamanaka Kei patted Yugito's little head lightly.

This clone he left behind was originally composed of a large amount of Yin Release energy and some memories through the existence of the Iron Armor Seal.

Although limited by his own somewhat lacking sealing technique level and the not-so-powerful Iron Armor Seal.

In terms of total amount, it is estimated that it is not as much as Minato Namikaze left in Naruto's body in the original work.

But thanks to the mental strength that is several times stronger than Minato Namikaze.

The quality is more than a notch higher!

As long as you don't squander this power recklessly, you can completely accompany Yugito for a long, long time!

Inside the Raikage's office.

The Third Raikage, Ai, looked at Yugito, whose tailed beast chakra was quickly receding and whose eyes were empty, and sighed slightly.

Yugito is indeed a good seed, and Seisei is also a trustworthy man.

His previous transfer order was actually largely to reduce the danger Seisei faced during external missions.

Let him accompany the Jinchuriki to grow up well.

Who would have thought that Seisei would fall on the way to his last mission.

"Liar."

Yugito lowered her head and muttered again in a low voice.

Without greeting anyone, she turned and pushed open the door of the Raikage's office and walked out.

"Raikage-sama."

Dotai stepped forward and looked at Yugito's departing back with some nervousness.

"It's okay, she won't let Seisei's heart down."

The Third Raikage, Ai's voice clearly reached Yugito's ears.

The little girl paused slightly before continuing to walk out.

"Did you hear that, the Raikage is praising you."

Yamanaka Kei's voice sounded in Yugito's heart.

"Uncle, I'm so nervous! Don't joke around ～"

Yugito muttered softly in her heart.

Looking down, not letting anyone see her expression, she walked home without saying a word.

"Raikage-sama, I'll take my leave too."

Musai wiped the tears from his eyes and bowed to the Third Raikage.

"......Live well."

The Raikage opened his mouth, but in the end only said these four words.

As a ninja, Seisei had excellently completed his mission.

And as a father, since Seisei wanted his son to live this life safely.

Then he, as the Raikage, would also choose to respect it.

Watching Musai force a smile and walk out of the office door.

The Third Raikage, Ai, spoke again, instructing Dotai beside him.

"Let the logistics department pay attention, if needed, give priority to buying things produced by their farm in the future."

"Yes."

Dotai nodded in agreement and quickly wrote this down in his notebook.

"Let the sealing team pay attention to Yugito's condition today, and also, notify the family members of the next ninja who died in battle."

The Third Raikage, Ai, stood in front of the office window.

Looking at the churning sea of clouds outside the window, the hand holding the railing couldn't help but exert a little force.

The railing made a teeth-aching creaking sound and quickly twisted and deformed.

Mist Village!

Secret assassinations, active provocations, advance ambushes!

Very good!

Since you don't take our Cloud Village seriously, then we'll start with you!

Cloud Village Second District.

Walking faster and faster, Yugito, who eventually started jogging, returned home all the way.

Closing the door to her room, she directly covered herself with the quilt.

After letting out a sigh of relief in her heart, she complained with puffed cheeks.

"Uncle ～ I can't even act, what if someone sees through my flaws in the future."

"Ding ding ding ～ Little Sunflower Uncle's class is starting ～"

Yamanaka Kei used a strange tone of voice to tell stories to children, talking about his years of disguise experience.

At this stage.

Even if Yugito breaks down on the spot and laughs out loud.

Others will most likely only think that the little girl has suffered too much stimulation.

As for the future......

With his guidance from the side, acting is just a small matter, no big problem!

"Uncle, why don't you pick me up and take me to Konoha."

Yugito rested her chin in her hands, expressing the naive fantasies in her heart.

"That's a good idea, your uncle, I'll work hard and see how many years it will take to achieve."

"Uncle is so lame ～"

"Or you can work hard yourself and go find me after becoming a perfect Jinchuriki?"

"Hehe ～ Okay ～!"
