After handing the ninja sword to the Anbu's custom-made scabbard, Ishigami returned to the ground.
Without wandering around anymore or taking on any more missions, and too lazy to argue with the Uchiha clan, Ishigami went straight back home.
The place where Ishigami lives now is no longer the simple and dilapidated hut he used to live in. Instead, he has moved to a place closer to the center of Konoha.
After all, Ishigami is an Anbu candidate ninja.
Some official Anbu ninjas even live directly in the Anbu so that they can be on standby at any time.
After returning home, Ishigami made some plans and prepared to continue to intensify his training.
This time out, after several battles, Ishigami has become more proficient in using the power he has mastered. His next goal is to further strengthen his body.
The sky was gradually getting dark. It was obvious that there was no time to practice today. Ishigami planned to resume his practice starting tomorrow.
In fact, even when he was on a mission with Might Dai, Ishigami never stopped practicing.
Running is equivalent to exercising the body, while hiding carefully and tracking the enemy is to exercise the control of the body and the control of chakra.
"Just have a good rest tonight."
After stretching, Ishigami walked out of the room relaxedly, jumped onto the roof, and admired the scenery of Konoha.
Just as the sun was about to set, the last rays of the setting sun passed across the Hokage Rock, making the three avatars above seem to emit a faint aura of dominating the ninja world.
Ishigami seemed to be integrated with this momentum. Although he was facing three Hokage avatars, he felt as if he was standing on top of one of them.
The setting sun would not stop for this, and soon it would completely fall, and the sky would darken.
At this moment, Ishigami glanced down and saw a figure with some surprise.
What caught Ishigami's eyes was the figure of a young girl. Ishigami was suddenly surprised, but when he thought about it carefully, he was not surprised.
…
At the doorstep of Ishigami's house.
Kushina would come to visit Ishigami's place every day.
Ishigami and Might Dai left the village on a mission in a hurry and did not tell her, but if she wanted to know, she could still find out by asking.
I come here every day, but every day it's empty.
While she was worried about Ishigami, she also felt inexplicably lonely.
"Really? This guy left the village without even telling me. And leaving the village at this time, doesn't he worry about his own safety at all?!"
The next moment, worry and loneliness turned into anger.
Kushina stomped her feet at Ishigami's door and muttered to herself.
"When he comes back, I must give him a good beating!"
These words almost caused Ishigami, who was about to come down from the roof, to stumble and fall.
The first sentence touched Ishigami's heart, and at the same time he felt a little apologetic. He left the village without telling Kushina. As a result, the second sentence immediately made Ishigami frown.
"Eh...wait, why does it look like someone has been in here?"
Just when Kushina had regained some of her lonely look and was about to leave, her beautiful eyes suddenly flashed slightly, revealing a surprised expression.
The next moment, she walked to Ishigami's door and took a look.
"cough."
At this time, Ishigami could no longer hide, so he came down from the roof and came behind Kushina.
"Good evening." Ishigami greeted calmly.
"…"
Kushina turned around and looked at Ishigami blankly.
Then, she exploded and pounced on Ishigami with her fangs and claws bared.
"Good for you!!"
"Ahem…"
Ishigami also felt a little sorry in his heart.
It was indeed a bit inappropriate to leave the village without saying a word to help Might Guy with the mission.
However, just as he was preparing to face Kushina's violent attack, he didn't expect that Kushina, who pounced on him, would not raise her fists, but give him a hug.
Kushina's small fist had no power when it landed on Ishigami. She threw herself directly into Ishigami's arms and hugged him tightly.
"Please don't leave so suddenly again... Even if you don't care about yourself, at least..."
Ishigami was slightly stunned.
There's something wrong with this plot.
With a hint of doubt in his eyes, Ishigami gently touched her head to comfort her and asked, "Did something happen?"
"No, nothing."
Kushina let go of Ishigami, her eyes slightly evasive.
The more this happened, the more it told Ishigami that something must be wrong!
Ishigami also saw a hint of fear in her eyes.
What is she afraid of?
I feel a little confused.
And the next moment, Kushina's words with hesitation and a slight tremor made Ishigami understand instantly.
" Ishigami...if, I mean if, I turned into a monster, what would you think of me?"
As she said this, Kushina's heart trembled slightly.
At this time, she was no longer a blood-red pepper, but just a girl with a heart full of fear and terror.
If it was someone else, they would definitely not understand what Kushina meant by this.
I'll just think it's Kushina joking.
But Ishigami understood it all too well.
Nine-Tailed Fox!
At this time, has Kushina become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?
However, there was no news of the death of the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Mito.
Even though this matter was concealed, Ishigami did not sense any special aura from Kushina.
Is it because the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique is so powerful?
No, that's not right.
There seems to be a problem with the time. The description of this part in the original book is really vague. What exactly happened and these details can only be experienced bit by bit by Ishigami himself.
Of course, it seems that the general direction has not changed.
Thinking of this, Ishigami shook his head slightly in his heart.
In fact, these things are not important. Whether Kushina is now or in the future, it is basically difficult for her to escape the fate of becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Ishigami couldn't help her rewrite all this now.
However, Ishigami will soon be able to possess the ability to change his destiny.
Not too far.
"No matter what you become, as long as you are still you, I will not change my attitude towards you."
Ishigami stretched out his hand and gently slid it across Kushina's pretty face. His eyes were gentle and he looked straight at Kushina without any dodging.
There is no perfunctory or falsehood in these words.
To Ishigami, what does it matter if he is the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki? It is just like having an unruly little fox in his body.
When he has the ability in the future, Ishigami will use his fists to make that fox obey him.
If one punch doesn't work, then use two.
Hearing Ishigami's words without any falsehood or perfunctoriness, the fear and terror in Kushina's eyes instantly disappeared, and were replaced by endless happiness and joy.
"real?"
"real."
"It's a deal then!"
