"I don't look quite like you imagined? Young man, what did you think I would look like?" Uzumaki Mito asked.
"I actually don't know much about you. Everything I've heard about you came from Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kushina-senpai. According to their descriptions, you should be a dignified and steady person." Uchiha En seemed to be talking about Uzumaki Mito, but he was actually intentionally revealing that he was a Konoha Ninja.
After hearing Uchiha En's words, Uzumaki Mito looked him up and down and then asked, "You're a Konoha Ninja! Which clan are you from?"
Uchiha En turned around, revealing the Uchiha Clan's crest.
"Uchiha? Who is the current Hokage?"
"It's Kushina-senpai's husband, Minato Namikaze."
"It seems your Uchiha Clan is allied with Minato Namikaze. It's understandable; a commoner with no background like Minato Namikaze would definitely need allies to secure the Hokage position. Otherwise, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others... never mind, that's not something a dead person like me should be concerned about.
Young Uchiha, why did you Edo Tensei me?" Uzumaki Mito's tone shifted as she asked.
"Kushina-senpai is pregnant."
"Are you worried the Nine-Tailed will break out and want me to keep an eye on it? Has Konoha fallen to such a state that it fears even a Nine-Tailed?" Uzumaki Mito asked with a frown.
"It is related to that, but Hokage-sama isn't afraid of the Nine-Tailed. Hokage-sama and I can work together to handle the Nine-Tailed without a problem." With that, Uchiha En activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Uzumaki Mito saw the complex hexagonal pattern in Uchiha En's pupils and nodded, "Mangekyo Sharingan plus Minato's Space-Time Ninjutsu should indeed be enough to deal with the Nine-Tailed. If that's the case, why did you Edo Tensei me?"
"For the knowledge in your mind. I want to learn Sealing Jutsu. Hokage-sama, with Kushina-senpai's permission, taught me some of the Uzumaki Clan's seals. It took me a great deal of effort to learn just one Four Symbols Seal.
I don't have much talent in Sealing Jutsu, so I can only seek a shortcut," Uchiha En said, half-truthfully.
"There's a shortcut for this?"
"Of course." With that, Uchiha En took out the rat talisman: "Mito-sama, this is a special Ninja Tool passed down from the era of the Six Paths Sage. It can replicate a person's Ninjutsu and usage experience. With it, I can quickly learn your Sealing Jutsu."
Uzumaki Mito was silent for a moment before saying, "Edo Tensei should be a forbidden jutsu, right? Are you doing this behind Minato and Kushina's backs?"
"Yes, they don't know."
"Why are you learning Sealing Jutsu?" Uzumaki Mito asked.
"Naturally, to help Kushina-senpai have a safe delivery. Mito-sama, you should be able to sense that your current body contains Shodai(1st)-sama's cells. This is..."
"Those things underground, right?"
Uchiha En was startled and then asked, "You can sense them?"
"Of course, I have Minds Eye. Are these the Village's enemies?"
"Yes, they seem to be related to Uchiha Madara."
Hearing the name Uchiha Madara, Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but frown.
Uchiha En struck while the iron was hot, talking about current events in the Ninja World and pinning all the blame on Madara.
"Tobirama wanted to study Uchiha Madara's corpse back then, but it mysteriously disappeared. Hashirama and I both thought that Uchiha Clan members had taken Madara's body to bury it. Now it seems Madara had left some contingencies back then," Uzumaki Mito said.
"Indeed, Mito-sama, our Uchiha Clan ancestors once invented two Genjutsu, Izanagi and Izanami. These two jutsu can..."
"I see, Izanagi? So that's why Uchiha Madara came back to life, but how has he survived until now?"
"That, I don't know."
"If you're facing Uchiha Madara, honestly, even if I teach you Sealing Jutsu, it won't be enough. His strength is not something you can contend with right now."
Uchiha En feigned a look of disbelief.
Uzumaki Mito sighed and said, "Alas! Young man, you are indeed a genius. I see you're not even 20 yet and you've already awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. Geniuses all have their pride.
But Mangekyo Sharingan are different. The gap in strength between you and Uchiha Madara is enormous. If he's still alive and wants to destroy Konoha, the only way to stop him is to Edo Tensei Hashirama.
At your age, you haven't seen how terrifying Madara is, so it's normal to underestimate him, but never let underestimation lead to your downfall. I've said my piece, now give me your Ninja Tool!"
Uchiha En heard this and handed the rat talisman to Uzumaki Mito.
"How do I use this thing?" Uzumaki Mito asked after playing with the rat talisman for a bit.
"Just place it on your head."
Uzumaki Mito nodded and placed the rat talisman on her forehead.
This time, Uchiha En clearly sensed that a replicated version of Uzumaki Mito's soul had appeared inside the rat talisman.
"That should do it. Thank you, Mito-sama."
"You're welcome. You don't need my help with anything else, do you?"
Uchiha En shook his head.
"Then I'll go back to the Village and take a look."
Uchiha En was about to stop her when he realized the Edo Tensei jutsu had dispelled itself. Then, as Uzumaki Mito's soul was about to disappear, she formed hand seals.
Uchiha En recognized this seal; it was the seal for the S-rank Ninjutsu, Spirit Transformation Jutsu.
The next second, Uzumaki Mito's soul flew into the sky, heading straight for Konoha.
Seeing this, Uchiha En quickly followed.
Uzumaki Mito's soul circled the Village once before arriving at Minato Namikaze and Kushina's home. She saw Kushina sleeping soundly with her big belly.
Uzumaki Mito smiled slightly and entered Kushina's body.
In her dream, Kushina's face gradually broke into a smile.
After bidding farewell to Kushina, Uzumaki Mito's soul flew out and arrived at Hokage Rock.
"Kushina has grown up too!" Uzumaki Mito sighed.
"Mito-sama, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to wander around the Village so recklessly?" Uchiha En said with a helpless expression.
"Aren't you from the Uchiha Clan? The Police Force is under your command. Can't you even handle such a small matter?"
"The Police Force is no longer solely controlled by the Uchiha Clan."
Uzumaki Mito was surprised by this, then smiled: "Indeed, you are completely different from that Madara. I just verified with Kushina; you are indeed allied with Minato.
If that Madara guy is really still alive, you'll be facing a lot of trouble. Remember my words, if you can't handle it, Edo Tensei Hashirama." With that, Uzumaki Mito's soul disappeared.
