In the evening, the mansion of a thousand hands.

A red-haired woman was sitting leisurely on a rocking chair under a pomegranate tree in the courtyard, squinting at the sunset, holding a fan in her hand, shaking it from time to time.

Time seems to have frozen in this courtyard, quiet and serene.

The woman looked to be only twenty years old. Her bright red hair was tied into a pair of balls, and she wore a purple diamond-shaped mark in the center of her forehead, and she wore the traditional white dress of the Uzumaki clan.

Although she still looks young and beautiful, she has a temperament that has gone through vicissitudes, which makes people dare not despise her.

"Grandma Mito, Grandma Mito......"

Just then, a cry of excitement came from outside the door, breaking the silence of the courtyard.

A figure with long bright red hair hurriedly ran in with a large box of things.

Obviously, this red-haired woman called "Grandma Mito" is the widow of the original Hokage, the current Nine-Tails Pillar Force, and Konoha's Dinghai God Needle - Vortex Mito.

After hearing the girl's call, Whirlpool Mito's slightly squinted eyes slowly opened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook slightly when he saw the other party's appearance.

"It's Kushina, what? Is it another trouble? ”

Although the years have not left any traces on her, in fact, Mito is already old at this time, and her mentality is gradually aging.

As her relatives grow up and pass away, her favorite thing now is Jiu Sinai, who is not directly related to her.

Part of the reason is that the child is of her own kind and bears the same fate as her.

But more importantly, in getting along day and night, she really likes this strong and optimistic girl.

Although living a life of exclusion in the village, Kushina still did not give up and worked hard to prove himself every day.

He even said, "I'm going to be the Hokage's woman!" "That's it.

However, this child also inherited the reckless temper inherited from the Uzumaki clan.

For other people's provocations, she has never been submissive, and has always hit hard, so she usually makes trouble.

Either he beat the Sarutobi clan today, or he beat the young patriarch of the Shimura family tomorrow, which gave Mito a headache.

So Mito saw Kushina rushing to find herself, and habitually thought that she was in trouble again.

But this time she apparently didn't guess right.

Jiu Sinai put the box in his hand on the stone table on the side, and pouted dissatisfiedly:

"I didn't say anything in trouble! Grandma, don't you remember? I'm going to work as a teaching assistant at the school today. This is still arranged for me by grandma! ”

Mito tilted his head and thought about it, and finally remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.

The cause of the incident was that not long ago, she had a cold and had a minor illness.

Although it seems to be just a small thing, it is like a big earthquake for the whole of Konoha.

After all, the Uzumaki Clan has always been known for their strong vitality and rarely gets sick.

"The Uzumaki clan won't catch a cold" is the same as "stupid people won't catch a cold", both of which are "common sense" widely circulated in the ninja world.

So it also means a cruel fact.

Mito is old.

Even though he still looks young, his body functions have begun to decline.

Obviously, the chakra in the Yin Seal was no longer enough to keep her body in the best condition.

Although Mito said it wasn't a big deal.

It's even quite rare to catch a cold for the first time in his life, and jokes that he is very happy to finally take off the name of "stupid".

However, Konoha's higher-ups are not as optimistic as she is.

After all, in addition to the wife of the first Hokage, Mito also has the identity of human pillar power.

She has the ultimate weapon in her stomach that is enough to destroy the country-the nine-tailed demon fox.

It can be said that the peace that the ninja world is barely maintaining today is largely due to the nuclear deterrent effect brought by these tailed beasts.

Moreover, recently, there has been an undercurrent in the ninja world, and there has been constant friction at the borders of various countries.

Many people can see that a war that engulfs the entire ninja world is brewing......

So whether it was Mito's aging and inability to suppress it that caused the Nine-Tails to break the seal, or Mito died with the Nine-Tails, it was a consequence that Konoha couldn't bear.

If it weren't for Mito's special status, Konoha might have already undergone a replacement of human pillar forces.

However, from that day on, Konoha was still ready to change the human pillar force at any time.

And as the number one candidate for the second Nine-Tails Pillar Force, Vortex Jiu Sinai was naturally completely confined in the village.

The depression of not being able to leave the village, the imminent death of Grandma Mito, and the fear that he will become the pillar force of the Nine-Tails......

At the same time, these burdens weighed on the thin shoulders of the fifteen-year-old girl, making poor Kushina more and more restless.

The frequency of beatings among the children of the major ninja clans has also increased significantly......

In order to distract Kushina and make it less troublesome, Mito began to pay attention to finding something to do for Kushina.

After all, work is the cure for everything.

Although she had already found several jobs before, it was a pity that Jiu Sinai couldn't do each one for long.

It wasn't until yesterday when Lake Biwa came to her and asked her for some advice on the sealing art class.

Mito learned from her about the interesting story of the new sealing teacher, as well as the surge in the number of people enrolled in the sealing class.

As soon as she had an idea, she asked Lake Biwa to arrange a job as a teaching assistant for Kushina.

It was just yesterday, but Mito found that it took him a long time to remember.

"Alas, I'm old, my memory is not good."

Uzumaki Mito sighed with emotion.

But with her young and beautiful appearance, there is always a feeling of moaning without disease.

Kushina knew that her grandmother was really a little sad, so she hurriedly walked behind Mito and hammered her back, and said exaggeratedly:

"Why! Grandma is still very young! I don't know how many boys have been killed when I go out for a walk. ”

Mito touched the Yin Seal on his forehead, shook his head and smiled:

"Hehe, don't talk about my old woman. Tell your grandmother, how was your first day as a teaching assistant? What did you do today? ”

"I've done a lot today!"

In order to divert her grandmother's attention, Kushina spoke without thinking.

As a result, as soon as she said this, the expression on her face instantly froze, and the hand that was beating Mito's back stopped.

Because Jiu Sinai only realized at this time that although he did do a lot of things today, there were not many serious things in it!

It's not too good to talk about it to grandma at all.

"Huh? Why don't you speak? ”

Hearing that her grandmother was already urging her to continue, Jiu Sinai knew that she couldn't delay any longer.

She didn't want to lie to her grandmother, so she had to omit some "inconsequential" places.

She stumbled and began to say:

“…… At first, I went into the sealing office...... Then I exchanged my sealing experience with Mr. Xia Yan, who was in charge of teaching the sealing technique, ""

Although it was carried out in the state of being suspended in mid-air.

"Then Mr. Xia Yan came up with a set of questions for me to do, and after finishing it, he praised me for my solid foundation......"

Although the latter questions are basically not, I was almost driven crazy by the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage.

"By the way," Kushina suddenly thought of something, "Grandma, what are we going to eat tonight?" ”

"Grandma doesn't know, but if you want to eat, you can talk to the cook first."

Mito wondered why Kushina suddenly talked about eating, but he replied truthfully.

"Then I'm going to eat chicken tonight......"

“…… And rabbits! ”

Let's cage you together!

I want you to be at the same table!

It seems that that question has caused a lot of psychological blows to Jiu Sinai, and it is impossible to eliminate the hatred in his heart without this.

It's a pity that Mito obviously can't understand Kushina's hardcore thoughts.

She turned her head and looked at the rabbit-eating maniac with wide eyes: "Bunny is so cute, how can you eat bunny?" ”

"And you won't be able to find this thing for a while, right? Even if you find a cook, you won't be able to cook. ”

“emmmmm…… Forget it, I'm just talking. ”

Kushina was a little uncomfortable with Grandma Mito's eyes, and dispelled her whims.

But she hasn't completely abandoned the plan.

By the way, Xia Yan has been to so many places and is well-informed, maybe he will know how to eat rabbits, and he will have the opportunity to ask him in the future.

Kushina thought so, and at the urging of Grandma Mito, she continued to tell her "experience".

“…… Finally, Mr. Xia Yan also taught me how to make the teaching aids that I will use in tomorrow's sealing class......"

Although I was addicted to playing cards, I didn't start working until school.

Jiu Sinai, who finally told her experience of the deleted version, couldn't help but wipe her sweat.

"Looks like you're having a pretty good day!" Mito nodded in satisfaction.

Looks like this job can be done a little longer.

"Huh? Yes, it's very fulfilling. Jiu Sinai said with a weak heart.

In order to avoid Grandma Mito asking for details, Kushina decided to divert the topic first.

She clasped her hands together and pointed to the box on the stone table:

"Grandma, you see I also brought a lot of teaching aids back to make them, do you want to see them?"

Mito, who was originally smiling, frowned slightly when he heard Kushina's words.

"Why do you want to continue to do this after work, that sealing teacher is too good at calling people."

Although she wanted Jiu Sinai to focus on her career and dilute her troubles, she never wanted her to become a workaholic.

"I remember his name is Natsuhiko, right, do you want me to talk to Lake Biwa......"

"Don't!"

Kushina exclaimed, and the voice echoed through the courtyard.

Mito turned his head to look at Kushina in surprise.

Why did you suddenly react so much?

Jiu Sinai complained bitterly in his heart, but on the surface, he squeezed out a smile and explained:

"Grandma, I'm only on my first day at work, and it's hard for me to do this."

"And these are all things I asked to bring back to do as a practice in sealing."

"Oh?" Mito looked teasing, "Why didn't you see you being so active when I was learning seals before?" ”

Jiu Sinai muttered quietly, "If the previous sealing technique study could be so fun, I must be so active every day." ”

"Fun?" Mito raised his eyebrows.

Although she is known as the strongest sealing master in the world, she rarely associates sealing with the word "fun".

The small toy she made in order to coax Xiao Jiu Sinai to learn the sealing technique was already the limit of what she could do.

"Then I'd like to see it."

Mito rarely developed a little competitiveness.
