Ah! Perfect — now it's clear: Mito is married to Hashirama, and Kurafuto is traveling to Konoha specifically to meet Hashirama. Let's redo Chapter 10 with that setup.

Chapter 10 — Journey to Konoha and Meeting Hashirama
Kurafuto Uzumaki, age 24, stood atop the cliffs overlooking Wave's sprawling lands. His ten unique Zoids patrolled the land, sea, and sky — each entirely his creation, none copied, scaling in power with him.
> "It's time," Kurafuto murmured. "To meet Hashirama… and see what lies beyond Wave."
Mounting Drago, fully transformed, he soared east toward Konoha, accompanied by his smaller offspring Zoids scouting and observing the terrain.

Arrival in Konoha
Kurafuto approached Konoha's gates, his massive Drago hidden partially in chakra cloaking. His mind was focused: he was here to meet Hashirama Senju, the future leader of the Senju clan, and the husband of Mito, whom he knew only from tales and intelligence reports.
The village was alive with activity. Guards paused at the sight of a strange aura, but Kurafuto's stealth and aura manipulation allowed him to approach without immediately alerting the entire village.

The Introduction
Kurafuto was led into the heart of Konoha, where he finally saw Hashirama and Mito together. Mito's calm, guiding presence was evident, and Hashirama's imposing yet approachable demeanor radiated authority.
> "You must be Kurafuto Uzumaki," Hashirama said, his gaze assessing. "I've heard of your feats… your Zoids, your creations."
Kurafuto bowed slightly.
> "Yes, Lord Hashirama. I've come to meet you in person, and perhaps… discuss the potential of alliances between our nations."
Mito observed silently, nodding with a smile.
> "Your Zoids are unlike anything I've seen," she said. "And yet… they are obedient, intelligent, and alive."
Kurafuto gestured toward the ten main Zoids:
Drago — Western Dragon, Kage-level, fire and wind mastery.
Quartos — Four-headed guardian, splits into four units for multi-target combat.
Subtera — Tunnel Devourer, excels in ambushes.
Hydranoid — Land/Water hybrid, versatile in all terrains.
Stormbreaker — Thunderbird, lightning and wind mastery.
Terra Titan — Colossal land Zoid, earth manipulation.
Abyssal Leviathan — Aquatic Zoid, tidal and current control.
Pyroclast Dragon — Volcanic elemental attacks.
Void Seraph — Stealth and reconnaissance.
Fifth Zoid — Personal hybrid, adaptable to land, sea, and air.
> "All ten are my creations," Kurafuto explained. "No copies, no wild Zoids. Each one grows with me and obeys my will."

Demonstration of Power
Kurafuto partially transformed his arm into Drago's claws and scales, showing Hashirama how the Zoid transformation technique worked. The Zoids demonstrated:
Coordination in battle formations
Elemental attacks and multi-target engagement
Intelligent reconnaissance and ambush tactics
Hashirama's eyes widened, recognizing the unmatched potential of Kurafuto's creations.
> "Even the most disciplined shinobi would struggle to face this," Hashirama remarked. "And yet… you command them effortlessly."
Mito nodded in agreement, impressed by the precision and intelligence of the Zoids.

Discussion of Strategy
Kurafuto and Hashirama discussed:
1. Gemstone bonding system — Trainers bond with up to six Zoids, achieving partial, man-beast, or ultimate man-beast forms.
2. Offspring Zoids — training the next generation of creations.
3. Potential threats beyond Wave's borders and Konoha.
4. Strategic alliances between nations to prevent unnecessary conflict.
> "Your foresight is impressive," Mito said. "But remember, strength alone is not enough. Strategy and loyalty are just as important."
Hashirama's gaze softened, showing respect for Kurafuto's power and vision.

End of Chapter
As the sun set over Konoha, Kurafuto's Zoids hovered silently in observation while Kurafuto and Hashirama continued their conversation. Alliances, strategies, and the future of Wave were being carefully planned.
> "Wave, Zoids, Trainers… and alliances," Kurafuto whispered. "The world is about to see what true creation looks like."
