Uchiha En watched Uzumaki Mito's Soul dissipate, his expression somewhat complicated.
Uzumaki Mito, as the wife of the First Hokage, cared deeply for Konoha even after death; her love for the Village was profound.
However, Uchiha En could tell that Uzumaki Mito held some dissatisfaction toward the Third Hokage and others.
Thinking about it, it was clear that when the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, the Third Hokage used various excuses not to send aid.
Uzumaki Mito could not possibly have been indifferent to this matter.
But for the sake of the Village, Uzumaki Mito suppressed all these grievances in her heart.
Uchiha En sighed, Shunshined outside the Village, and retrieved the White Zetsu corpse he had used for the Edo Tensei.
The next day, Minato Namikaze had Kakashi summon Uchiha En to the Hokage Office.
"En, last night Kushina said she dreamed of Lady Mito. Lady Mito told her many things and mentioned you and Uchiha Madara.
Also, last night many people in the Village saw a glowing shadow hovering over the Village. That must have been Lady Mito's Soul, right?"
Hearing this, Uchiha En nodded in confirmation.
"How did you manage that?" Minato Namikaze asked.
"I used a Ninja Tool. This tool can temporarily summon the Souls of People from the Underworld." Uchiha En didn't want others to know he could use Edo Tensei, so he fabricated an excuse.
"Why did you seek out Lady Mito?"
"I wanted to know what the situation was like when Lady Mito gave birth back then, and also ask her for intelligence regarding Uchiha Madara."
"Asking for intelligence on Uchiha Madara?"
Uchiha En nodded and pulled out the White Zetsu corpse from the previous night.
Minato Namikaze immediately noticed the unusual nature of the corpse.
Uchiha En recounted to Minato Namikaze everything he had discussed with Uzumaki Mito yesterday.
Minato Namikaze's expression changed slightly after listening: "If that's true, Uchiha Madara really might be alive. Will he try to cause trouble in the Village when Kushina gives birth?"
"I don't know, but we must be prepared."
Minato Namikaze sighed; dealing with Uchiha Madara made him feel immense pressure too.
After dealing with Minato Namikaze, Uchiha En returned to the Uchiha Clan. He took out the rat talisman and began modifying the Soul inside it.
The replicated Soul of Uzumaki Mito did not resemble her; it was just a ball of light. Uchiha En deleted all memories from the ball of light except for Ninjutsu, Sealing Jutsu, and combat experience, then implanted new memories.
In the new memories, she was the consciousness that was born when Uchiha En created the Lesser Ten-Tails. Uchiha En was her creator, and she was to obey Uchiha En's commands.
When the rat talisman merges with the Lesser Ten-Tails constructed by Uchiha En, the replicated Soul will take over the Lesser Ten-Tails' body, making the Lesser Ten-Tails completely controllable.
