....
A look of pain flashed across Kushina Uzumaki's face, she was suffering both mentally and physically. On the one hand, it was because Minato Namikaze's forceful attempt to keep her hurt her, and on the other hand, it was because of her inner conflict.
It only takes a few seconds to make a decision.
The auras of the two were in perfect harmony, as if they were radiating light.
This made Hatake Sakumo and Senju Doma, who were standing by, waver.
The aura of Asura spread over the two of them, making Senju Nawaki feel threatened.
This is probably the reason why Uzumaki Naruto won. He could explode at any time, and Asura and the Rikudō Sennin were their solid backing.
They say they love you, but they rely on force. If you don't agree, they will send you to reincarnation.
A trace of stubbornness flashed in Uzumaki Kushina's eyes, and she raised her head and said to Senju Nawaki, "Even if this is the case, I want to be with Minato."
Her eyes were filled with determination, like the lovers in Jiraiya's novels who rebelled against the world.
Anyone who breaks them up is a vicious villain.
Hatake Sakumo and Senju Doma shook their heads unconsciously, their eyes full of surprise.
He made such a decision without even thinking about it.
"Brain-dead + love-brained, hopeless and not worth saving." Senju Nawaki complained in his heart, which was also expected.
What worried him was that if he continued to force it, it would attract the attention of Asura and even the Rikudō Sennin.
Now, he is not ready to fight with the Rikudō Sennin, but he will not give up just like that.
The warning just now also revealed some information. First, the combination of the two people is very important. Both of them are very important, especially Minato Namikaze.
The second is to expose the weaknesses of Asura and the Rikudō Sennin, and they cannot intervene directly, but need to use some medium.
Third, in this ninja world, Asura and the Rikudō Sennin still have many tricks left, so it is not unfair for Indra and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki to lose.
Hatake Sakumo could no longer bear it and said, "Kushina, what nonsense are you talking about? Have you forgotten the promise you made before you came here? If you do this, it will bring disaster to Konohagakure."
There was a hint of pleading for forgiveness in his eyes as he looked at Senju Nawaki.
A different light flashed in Senju Nawaki's eyes, and he said, "Use the love that you always talk about to fight against the greed of people in this world."
Can the goodness and love that you define defeat the evil and hatred in the ninja world?
Senju Nawaki thought of an interesting way to play, and then it was the game between Konohagakure and Namikaze Minato.
He spoke.
"I respect your choice and can give you a chance. As long as it doesn't affect my interests, no matter how stupid your actions are, I have nothing to do with them."
He is not an animal who thinks with his lower body, and Kushina's personality and appearance are not pleasing to him.
The value of Senju Nawaki lies in his identity as a member of the Uzumaki clan and his control over the resources of the Uzumaki clan.
The eyes of the three people from Konohagakure were shining, full of hope and surprise. They didn't expect that Senju Nawaki would make such a decision.
His generosity was beyond their imagination.
Senju Doma was full of questions, but he didn't ask too many questions. He would support whatever choice Senju Nawaki made.
He always believed that Senju Nawaki would make the most correct choice.
"Chief Senju, thank you for your generosity. Do you have any other requests?"
Hatake Sakumo gave a stiff smile, broke away from his joy, and considered the pros and cons.
Based on Senju Nawaki's past behavior, he didn't believe that Senju Nawaki would let go so easily of two people who even he felt disgusted with.
"Uzumaki Kushina, from now on, your surname will be stripped away. You will have no relationship with the Senju clan or the Uzumaki clan. The sealing techniques you master are not allowed to be taught to others in any form, especially to Namikaze Minato."
Senju Nawaki narrowed his eyes, tapped the table with his fingers, looked at Uzumaki Kushina and spoke, his tone full of unquestionable determination.
Uzumaki Kushina was frozen in place by Senju Nawaki's gaze, and said in a nonchalant manner, "I agree. This identity and those so-called resources have not brought me any benefits. Instead, they have made my life uncomfortable. I have to thank you very much."
On the contrary, Minato Namikaze's heart suddenly tightened, as if he had lost something important.
He wanted to speak, but as soon as he raised his head, he was suppressed by the gazes of everyone around him. In this situation, he had no say and was just a small ninja.
Senju Nawaki was asking Uzumaki Kushina, this was the price she should pay.
Minato Namikaze shouldn't have been here.
Hatake Sakumo unconsciously touched his silver hair and frowned. This was the condition of Senju Nawaki, and it seemed more like it was targeting Namikaze Minato.
He knew that Minato Namikaze had obtained many secret techniques from Kushina Uzumaki.
This is how he earned the title of genius he has today.
What Senju Nawaki is doing now seems to be suppressing Namikaze Minato's growth.
"What about you? Since you are here, just be a witness. These are all things that will be left as evidence." Senju Nawaki turned his gaze to Hatake Sakumo and Namikaze Minato, intentionally or unintentionally emphasizing the formality.
"On behalf of Konohagakure, I agree!" Hatake Sakumo put down his right hand that was grabbing his hair and agreed awkwardly.
"I have no objection." Namikaze Minato responded reluctantly, facing Uzumaki Kushina's expectant gaze.
"Very good, it seems that you have recognized the reality. As long as you agree to the following conditions, the Senju clan will not take any hostile actions against Konohagakure.
First, no one in Konohagakure is allowed to touch the toads of Mount Myōboku, especially Minato Namikaze.
Second, if you want to teach others the secret techniques passed down by Tobirama Senju, you must obtain the consent of the Senju clan and register them.
Third, return all the resources once controlled by the Senju clan.
Fourth, I want to take a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra.
How is it? Not too much, right? "
Senju Nawaki glanced at the Konohagakure side and said with great magnanimity.
Despite the condescending tone, the conditions were unexpectedly lenient.
These were the rights that should have belonged to the Senju clan. Senju Nawaki was just taking back what belonged to the Senju clan.
Hatake Sakumo's face was full of joy. If the request was really that simple, his mission this time would be accomplished.
The price paid is within an acceptable range.
The only condition that was not under the control of Konohagakure was the first toad from Mount Myōboku. On second thought, Jiraiya was already dead, and he died on the way to assassinate Senju Nawaki. There was nothing wrong with Senju Nawaki doing this.
Isn't it just the loss of a summoning beast? Or an ugly toad, or a Mount Myōboku that is so high and mighty that it doesn't recognize its own identity?
It was because of this that Jiraiya was affected that the will of fire was gone from his heart, and all he had was the will of a toad.
This is also a good thing for Konohagakure.
Only Minato Namikaze's face was gloomy and uncertain.
He sensed that Senju Nawaki was targeting him, and every condition seemed to be trying to curb his continued growth.
Some time ago, under the guidance of Jiraiya, he just signed a summoning contract with the toads of Mount Myōboku.
He raised his head and glanced at Hatake Sakumo, then looked at Senju Nawaki, selectively concealing the news.
He didn't want to terminate the spiritual contract with Mount Myōboku, and he had other thoughts in his mind.
All his actions were seen by Senju Nawaki.
Senju Nawaki wants to know, between Konohagakure and Mount Myōboku, which side will Namikaze Minato choose?
"Chief Senju, you are kind and righteous. Konohagakure agrees with such conditions and hopes for deeper cooperation." Hatake Sakumo's voice also became sunny.
Senju Nawaki nodded slightly and signaled Senju Doma to draft the covenant.
In just over ten minutes, on a scroll, the logo of Konohagakure Village and the emblem of the Senju clan were reflected against each other. Below was the treaty proposed by Senju Nawaki, and the obligations that both parties should fulfill and the rights and interests they possessed were clearly recorded.
"Add one more thing. If violated, internal handling will be given priority." Senju Nawaki took a quick glance and added.
