"O Land of Rain! I was there a long time ago, and it felt like it was raining all the time, and I was thinking, isn't this country going to be flooded? The old man raised his head, his gray hair fluttering in the wind, and the burning red of the whirlpool's vitality dissipated.

“······ That country has been at war all the time, fighting with the country of earth, with the country of taki, with the country of grass, with the country of wind, and with our country of fire, and even their own internal fights from time to time, it can be said that it is the most chaotic place in the ninja world. ”

"Feel······ As in the previous Warring States Period, there were wars everywhere, and people would die every day, and there were five brothers and sisters with your grandfather, your grandfather was the eldest, and I was the fourth, and we had three older brothers, all of whom died outside, and they were still smiling when they went out in the morning, and they came back······ But it was a mutilated corpse. ”

The old man held the hands of Kushina and Otome, his eyes blurred, as if he had lost focus, and the deep wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were filled with shallow sadness.

The years are really merciless, and the sadness that once penetrated the bone marrow has now become so dull!

"And then ······ I left the family and married into the Senju family, and then Tsuruma and Madara established the Konoha ······" The old man retracted his gaze and looked at the two girls sitting on the left and right, "Do you know Madara?" Madara Uchiha. ”

"yes, I know." Kushina nodded.

"Uchiha, are you from our clan?" Otome looked at Kushina blankly.

The old man was not surprised to see this, but let out a long sigh.

Back then, Madara Uchiha's betrayal was not a glorious thing for Konoha or the Uchiha clan, and over the years, he has tried his best to downplay the name Madara Uchiha, and few people in the younger generation know about Madara's existence.

However, when Kushina was in the Vortex Village, she studied the history of the ninja world compiled by the Uzumaki clan, although it is not very complete and detailed, but it is still a little more than the castrated version in the Konoha Ninja School, that is, some major events about the Thousand Hands Pillar and Uchiha Madara are still recorded.

"Madara······ is a genius, this is what Pillar himself said, but it's a pity that his temperament is too extreme, and he finally made a mistake······ It should be the opposite of the original wish. Mito looked down at Kushina, her bright eyes, her delicate face, and her bright red hair spread out.

What a young man!

"Kushina, do you like Konoha?"

"I like it, there's moon viewing here, there's Otome, there's you, there's classmates at school, and a lot of other people I value."

Jiu Xinnai's apricot eyes are clear, and every word contains the most sincere feelings.

"Good boy ······" Mito sighed, and immediately stared at Kushina, and said in a faint voice that Kushina could hear: "Come to me at night, there is something very important to tell you." ”

Otome sat on the side, still pondering the name Madara Uchiha, unaware of Mito and Kushina's whispers.

······

"Ape Fei, get ready, transfer the Nine-Tails as soon as possible." Mito said calmly.

"Have you decided on a good candidate?"

Sarufei sat on the chair under his hand, looked at the old Mito, and sighed secretly, this day has come after all!

"Well, I'll talk to that kid tonight, you go ahead and prepare first, eliminate all the hidden dangers of uneasiness, the Nine-Tails Transformation Container, it may be very unstable, even if it is a whirlpool, but after all, it is still a child, the power of the Nine-Tails is not so easy to bear, you must prepare for the worst."

"I know it's going to be ready today." Ape Fei nodded with a serious expression, he had seen with his own eyes how destructive the Nine-Tails was, and if there was any accident in the process of converting the container, I am afraid it would be very tricky.

He had already begun to ponder moving the place where the ritual would take place outside the village, so that even if the worst happened, the damage would be minimized, but it was a pity that Shuo Mao had to keep an eye on Hanzo on the front line now, otherwise it would be at least half as easy with Shuo Mao in charge.

"As soon as possible, it's almost nightfall now, and tomorrow may be my return."

The ceiling light has been turned on, illuminating the room with a soft, bright glow.

Sarufei nodded, Mito's words gave him a sense of urgency, but fortunately, he had been preparing for this all this time, and his shadows were already ready to go.

After a couple of words, the rope tree walked in.

"Grandma, Jiu Sinai is here."

The voice was a little choked, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, Sarufei felt quite embarrassed when he saw this, and he couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness, if Mito really left, it would symbolize that the first group of people in Konoha would be completely withered away.

"Let her in, Ape Fei, you go first, I'll talk to the kid alone." Mito waved his hand and repelled Saruto, not even the rope tree remained.

Kushina walked quietly down the wooden corridor with steps of equal spacing, silent.

"Auntie, I'm here."

······

"Dirt escape, rock thief."

Vortex home, backyard, training ground.

One by one, the rock sticks stood upright, even if the sun fell in the west and the sky was dark, he was still a tireless cultivator, the rock thief stick, a very simple C-level ninjutsu, under the guidance of Shuo Mao, he had already started, but in the past few days since he came back to Konoha, in addition to the previous training courses, he has been drilling on this C-level earth escape technique.

Bite off more than you can chew.

It's a simple truth, but it's often easier said than done, and there are very few people who can resist the greater temptation to persevere.

Guanyue also suppressed the desire to learn new ninjutsu in his heart after several ideological struggles, and firmly remembered Shuo Mao's warning, if he didn't play the rock thief stick to the point of mastery, he wouldn't learn the next ninjutsu on the scroll.

I've been practicing at home for two days, and no one is urging them to go to class anyway, war is the main theme among the current high-level people, even if they maintain an absolute advantage, they still can't be careless, and Sarutobi, the Hokage who cares about the education of ninja schools, is also busy with more important things.

"Sister Kushina."

The girl's delicate voice sounded in the front yard.

Soon, Otome appeared on the edge of the training ground.

"Guanyue, isn't Sister Jiu Sinai here?" Looking at the moon watching in the dark, the girl was speechless.

The night is getting thicker, only the dim light cast by the street lamps outside the courtyard, and the high and low rock pillars are as dense as a forest, pulling out long dark shadows in the courtyard, which is quite a bit of a gloomy posture.

"Moonwatching?"

Otome stood in the corridor and didn't dare to go down, but she just shouted boldly, and then her eyes wandered around, catching the traces of the moon.

"My sister isn't here, didn't she say I'm looking for you?"
