After confirming that Danzo was completely dead, Tsunade took Minato to the mansion where Mito Uzumaki lived.
"Sister!"
"Minato!"
Seeing the two return, Nawaki and Kushina greeted them quickly.
"Hello, Grandma Mito."
Minato greeted Mito Uzumaki obediently. Mito waved her hand with a smile, signaling Minato to come forward.
Her aged fingers gently stroked his little blond head. Mito asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"
Minato shook his head. "No."
"It's good that you're not hurt."
Mito held Minato's hand. "That guy's target was you?"
"It was Kushina, but the root cause was me," Minato whispered.
Hearing Minato say this, Mito immediately understood what was going on and sighed softly.
"That kid Danzo didn't learn anything good from Tobirama all these years. He only learned a belly full of schemes. Now he has reaped what he sowed. Don't have any psychological burden."
"I don't have any psychological burden."
Minato smiled shyly. "To tell you the truth, I would have a psychological burden if he didn't die."
"That's how it should be."
Mito chuckled. Her husband was a good-natured man with no temper, but she wasn't.
The vigorous vitality of the Uzumaki clan not only brought them abundant physical strength but also an impatient personality due to excessive energy, which led to almost everyone in their clan having a hot temper.
Mito was the same when she was young.
Don't be fooled by her old age now, staying indoors and having Anbu follow her wherever she goes.
But in fact, if Minato hadn't moved so fast just now, she would probably have already stormed into the Root base, hung Danzo up, and whipped him.
In this period, not to mention the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, even the Four Symbols Seal was not very perfect, and it was impossible to completely seal the Tailed Beast like in Naruto's time.
In other words, she completely relied on her own strength to firmly seal the complete Nine-Tails inside her body!
What is "reaching an understanding with the Tailed Beast to use its chakra"?
Isn't it the same to hang the Nine-Tails up and extract chakra directly from it?
No one really thinks that the Anbu around her are there to monitor her, right?
She couldn't figure out why Danzo attacked Minato before.
Now hearing Minato say this, it wasn't hard for her to guess what the other party was planning.
"Perhaps you should pay more attention to the people around you," Mito reminded him, thinking of this.
"I have already confirmed the target, but the other party is also being coerced," Minato whispered.
"As long as you know what you're doing."
Mito nodded, becoming more satisfied with Minato. She patted Minato's hand gently. "You are still too young. Don't let the schemes of adults affect your emotions and judgment."
"Hiruzen is in that position, and there are always helplessness of this and that kind. Don't blame him. Some things cannot be forced. Just follow your heart."
"Mmh, I understand. Thank you for your teachings."
Minato nodded humbly, without any impatience.
"You are Tsunade's disciple and inherited Hashirama's Wood Style. In my eyes, you are also my junior. No need to be so restrained."
Mito smiled kindly. "How is your Wood Style learning going?"
"I have learned all the ninjutsu on the scroll."
Minato said confidently, "I also created some practical jutsu myself."
The parasitic spores used on Danzo just now were one of them.
He came up with this ninjutsu when studying Wood Clone seeds and associating them with White Zetsu's Spore Technique.
Utilizing the concealment of spores, enemies unknowingly inhale spores containing his chakra into their bodies.
Once activated, these spores will take root in the enemy's flesh and blood, devouring the enemy's chakra to grow wildly. It is a very practical assassination ninjutsu!
Of course, this jutsu is not without flaws. For example, releasing too many spores will be detected by sensory ninjas, and the chakra contained in the spores cannot be hidden from dōjutsu (eye techniques) that can observe chakra, such as the Byakugan and Sharingan.
However, Minato had already prepared for these. He planned to combine it with the Hidden Mist Jutsu, using the mist containing chakra to cover the spores.
The only ones who can ignore this threat are those like the Aburame clan, who raise insects in their bodies, can detect changes in chakra in their bodies immediately, and use insects to remove parasitic spores.
"Hashirama would be very happy if he knew someone inherited his ninjutsu."
Mito nodded with satisfaction. Then she leaned on her cane to stand up, and Minato quickly stepped forward to support her.
Mito took a scroll from the drawer and gave it to Minato. "This contains some training experiences recorded by Hashirama. It might be useful to you."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Minato thanked her politely and took it respectfully.
"Alright, it's getting late. Little Tsuna, take them back early."
Mito said gently. Although she wanted to keep them for the night, this was the core area engraved with the sealing formation, so it was inconvenient for people to stay overnight.
"This..."
Tsunade's eyelid twitched. She looked unhappy at the mention of this. "The house was bombed."
"Why don't we stay at my house first?"
Minato suggested, "When I go back after school tomorrow, I'll use Wood Style to repair the house, and it will be fine."
"Alright!"
Tsunade agreed directly and left with the three kids.
Mito sat in front of the window, watching their receding figures, her face gradually turning cold.
"Ask Monkey (Hiruzen) to come over."
"Yes!"
The Anbu outside the window responded in a low voice and left instantly.
...
A few minutes later, Minato's house.
Kushina walked into the room, looking a little nervous.
Knowing him for so long, this was her first time coming to Minato's house.
Because Minato came back to clean occasionally, the house was still tidy even though no one had lived there for half a year.
"Your house is quite spacious!"
As soon as Nawaki entered the house, he wandered around the room carelessly. "Where do I sleep tonight?"
"There are only three rooms in the house. Sensei and Kushina each get one. You squeeze in with me."
Minato said casually, with a trace of imperceptible fatigue in his tone.
Today was his first time killing someone, and he killed so many people, which made him somewhat uncomfortable psychologically.
But it wasn't as outrageous as people on the internet said, vomiting and having diarrhea...
"Oh... which is your room?" Nawaki asked.
"The one upstairs."
"What about me?" Tsunade asked.
Minato pointed to the master bedroom. "If Sensei doesn't mind, you can stay in the master bedroom."
Tsunade glanced at it and shook her head. "This should be your parents' room, right? How can I stay here? It's too rude. You should stay there. You can let Nawaki stay with you."
"I'll sleep in your room. Let Kushina stay in the guest bedroom. It's convenient for going to the bathroom at night. Let's do it this way. I'm going to the room first."
Saying that, without giving others a chance to object, she walked upstairs without hesitation, her steps seeming a bit lighter.
Watching Tsunade's retreating back, Kushina subconsciously raised her hand and opened her mouth.
No, wait...
Actually, I don't mind the trouble!
Can we swap?
