Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Chapter 21 The Changing of Times (Part 1)

After eating and resting for twenty minutes, Shirataki said, "Let's start independent training now. Go ahead."

After hearing Shirataki's words, the three little ones stood up consciously. Regardless of their physical fatigue, they each walked to the edge of the dense forest and started their own training.

Naoki's training in the afternoon is usually about chakra control and water escape ninjutsu training.

Uchiha Fire Gate's training is relatively comprehensive, including practicing shuriken throwing, taijutsu, and ninjutsu. The most important thing is that his time is planned very reasonably.

As for Hinata Yukino, it is the practice of soft boxing and shuriken throwing. For the people of the Hyuga family, they believe that the soft boxing method is a suitable physical technique, so Yukino did not practice too many other things. As for the shuriken throwing technique, it can be regarded as a method to compensate for the weakness of the soft boxing technique in long-range combat.

The whole afternoon was the three little ones' own time. Even if they chose to rest for an entire afternoon and do nothing, Shirataki would not blame them, but the three little ones had never slacked off in the past few days. This also greatly impressed Shirataki, who was very satisfied with the self-control and self-discipline of the three of them as ninjas.

As the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the earth, the three of them exhausted their last bit of energy and each found a place to sit down and rest.

Bai Taki looked at the tired three people and said, "Okay, let's disband." After saying that, Bai Taki flashed and disappeared from the three little ones.

After leaving the clearing, Shirataki quickly returned to the mansion. Just when Shirataki walked into the gate of the mansion, figures in the house attracted his attention. "Why is Sarutobi Hiruzen here? Are there so many hidden ANBU? Is it possible?" Is there something wrong with Uzumaki Mito again? "

Before Shirataki could think about it, Uzumaki Mito's voice came from inside the house, "Shirataki, come to the living room.".

He did not hesitate and walked straight towards the living room. As soon as he entered the room, Shirataki saw Hiruzen Sarutobi and Mito Uzumaki sitting facing each other. He nodded towards the two of them and found a chair to sit on. Come down.

Although Shirataki seemed random, this position was chosen after his calculations. It was right between Uzumaki Mito and Sarutobi Hiruzen, and it was also very close to the door. He chose this location not to facilitate his escape, but to prevent the people inside the house from escaping, and to resist the intrusion of people outside the house immediately.

It was already sunset and the light in the room was very poor. The surrounding windows seemed to be blocked by something. There was only one candle lit in the dark room.

The halo from the candle illuminated the faces of Uzumaki Mito and Sarutobi Hiruzen. At this time, Uzumaki Mito was only wearing a single piece of clothing. Shirataki saw deep fatigue and clarity on Uzumaki Mito's face. Ground wrinkles.

If it is normal for other elderly people to have wrinkles on their faces in their seventies or eighties, then it is an indisputable fact that Uzumaki Mito has wrinkles on his face. Mito Uzumaki, who has mastered the Yin Seal, has a large amount of chakra to maintain her ageless appearance. Mito Uzumaki had always looked like he was in his twenties before. But at this time, wrinkles appeared on Uzumaki Mito's face, and his face had aged to look like he was in his forties.

"Wrinkles? How is this possible? Are you already using the chakra in the Yin seal to suppress the Kyuubi? Why so fast? Kushina is only 6 years old now!"

Shirataki didn't speak, just sat quietly.

Uzumaki Mito was the first to speak, "Shirataki, I won't say any more. I'll ask you again, are you willing to become the next Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki?"

After Uzumaki Mito finished speaking, he looked at Shirataki quietly, waiting for Shirataki's reply, and Sarutobi Hiruzen on the side immediately cast his gaze on Shirataki's face.

Shirataki did not answer Uzumaki Mito, but instead asked, "How long can you last? I remember you told me not long ago that you still have at least one year."

Shirataki didn't want to become a Jinchuuriki in his heart. Although becoming a Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki was the most direct and effective way to avoid Kushina's death in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he had memories of his past life and didn't like being restrained in Konoha. Inside the small village.

Uzumaki Mito could not see clearly what Shirataki was thinking, and said casually, "Well, it will be in the near future. After the Yin seal chakra is exhausted, I will no longer be able to suppress the Kyuubi. Kushina is still young now." , I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong to seal the Nine Tails in her body.”

After Shirataki heard this, he said without hesitation, "Mito-sama, my mind has never changed. I don't want to become the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. As for Kushina, I believe you have already made preparations for her."

Uzumaki Mito was not surprised. She had known Shirataki's thoughts many years ago, and if she asked her again now, she would just show it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Uzumaki Mito said calmly, "Really, you really did not disappoint me, you are such a good boy."

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted, "Shirataki, the village needs the power of the tailed beasts to ensure the safety of the villagers, you"

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, Uzumaki Mito came to the rescue for Shirataki and said, "Shirataki, you have been busy all day. Go take a bath and rest."

Shirataki didn't delay, nodded to Uzumaki Mito and Sarutobi Hiruzen, and left the room.

After returning to his room, Shirataki immediately sat up cross-legged, thinking in his mind, "Is it possible that he was just faking it? To cooperate with Hiruzen Sarutobi to test me? It's totally unnecessary, right? After Hiruzen Sarutobi leaves, I I have to go to Uzumaki Mito to confirm."

Not long after, Kushina, who had just returned from the ninja school, was called into the living room by Uzumaki Mito.

Two hours later, Naoki also dragged his tired body back to the mansion. He did not go back to his room immediately, but went straight to the door of Shirataki's room.

Shirataki opened the door and asked, "Naoki, what can I do for you?"

Naoki didn't hesitate, nodded and asked, "Brother Shirataki, can you teach me more ninjutsu?"

Shirataki raised his eyebrows and looked at Naoki, and said in a bad tone, "Naoki, I remember the four water escape ninjutsus I gave you before, but you still haven't mastered them yet, and now you want to learn a new ninjutsu." Jutsu? And you can go to the library to borrow ninjutsu, why did you come to me?"

Naoki shrank his neck and whispered, "After these few days of practice, I feel that the progress of Water Release Ninjutsu is very slow. I was wondering if it is because I am not suitable for practicing Water Release Ninjutsu, so I want to try it." I started practicing Earth Release Ninjutsu at once, and there are very few Ninjutsu in the library, most of them are Fire Release Ninjutsu, and we have already gone to see them."

Shirataki glanced at Nashu in silence, and no longer knew what to say about him. After organizing his words, Shirataki said, "Nashu, you work very hard in practice, and I have always seen your performance. I can give you the Earth Release Ninjutsu scroll, but I still want to tell you that every ninja's strength is accumulated step by step. You are only ten years old now, so there is no need to be so anxious."

Naoki hurriedly retorted, "But Brother Shirataki, you became a jounin at the age of 15, and your sister, brother Jiraiya, and brother Orochimaru also became jounin at about 13 to 14 years old."

Just when Shirataki was about to speak, he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen leaving the mansion, and Uzumaki Mito also walked out of the room holding Kushina. Shirataki took out three ninjutsu scrolls and gave them to Naoki , and said, "This is Doryu Taiga, Doryū Dan, and Doryū Wall. You can learn it yourself." After saying that, Shirataki ignored the rope tree and walked towards Uzumaki Mito.

Uzumaki Mito, who sensed Shirataki coming towards her, immediately dismissed Kushina and said to Shirataki, "Come with me. I happen to have something to tell you."

The two of them arrived at Uzumaki Mito's room one after another. After Uzumaki Mito motioned for Shirataki to sit down, he immediately said, "Shirataki, the village has decided to make Kushina the new jinchuriki, but I am not sure about the time. . So, I hope you can stay in the mansion. If Kyuubi goes wild, I need you to use the ten magic realms to trap Kyuubi as soon as possible."

"And just in case, as the second person in the village who can use the Four Elephants Seal, you are the most suitable candidate."

After Uzumaki Mito finished speaking, Shirataki nodded without thinking and whispered, "Okay, I understand. But you have to help me tell the Third Hokage to find a reliable mentor for my three students. After all, they are all hard-working geniuses." Speaking of his students, Shirataki unconsciously showed a smile on his face.

Uzumaki Mito looked at Shirataki's smiling face and said softly, "Really, you have found your place here, Shirataki? Come! Tell me carefully, I haven't paid attention to the new generation of Konoha for a long time."

"There is a girl named Hinata Yukino. She is a child of the Hyuga clan. She is very polite, hard-working, and well-mannered."

"Still a little guy named Uchiha Kamon."

two years later

Time has come to Konoha 32 years ago

Naoki reorganized the team two years ago. Not only did the two teammates change, but even the coaching jounin was changed from Shirataki to Orochimaru. In the past two years, Naoki often followed Orochimaru on missions, and Orochimaru was not as strict as Shirataki, and he generously gave Naoki a large number of ninjutsu scrolls. As long as Naoki wanted to learn, Orochimaru would teach him. . Tsunade, on the other hand, discovered that Uzumaki Mito's condition was getting worse half a year ago, so she stayed at home to accompany Uzumaki Mito.

At sunset and dusk, Kushina, who had just finished school from the ninja school, was walking home alone. In the past two years, as the situation of Uzumaki Mito became worse and worse, and the Uzumaki clan was annihilated gradually, After being known by her, the young Kushina began to feel a sense of inferiority.

"Kushina, come to my room."

The moment Kushina walked into the gate of the mansion, Uzumaki Mito's voice sounded from her ears.

After hearing what her Mito grandmother said, Kushina walked towards Uzumaki Mito's room. She walked along the road and did not see anyone else in the house.

Before Kushina was weaned, there was a nanny who took care of Kushina's daily life, but since Kushina was weaned, she has been taken care of by Uzumaki Mito. Naoki was already an official genin, and after following Orochimaru, he often performed missions outside. Now, in the entire mansion, except Uzumaki Mito, the only ones left are Shirataki who often sits in the small courtyard in front of Mito's room, Tsunade who lives in the room next to Mito, and the two cooks who cook in the kitchen.

Kushina walked on the corridor of the house, looking at the tall weeds in the yard, silent and not knowing what she was thinking. When she walked outside the door, the door to the room opened automatically.

The setting sun shone into the room, allowing Kushina to see clearly the scene inside.

"I'm back, come in."

Uzumaki Mito sat behind a book desk and saw Kushina standing at the door, with a smile on his face.

"Grandma Mito, I'm back."

Kushina walked into the room and knelt down in front of Mito. She looked at the aging Uzumaki Mito and felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

Mito reached out and patted Kushina on the head, then waved to Kushina and said, "Don't sit so far away, I can't even see you clearly. Come, sit next to grandma." Today's Uzumaki Mito is no different from an old man of the same age, and his eyesight has long since deteriorated.
