The terrifying thing about ninja clans like the Senju, Uchiha, and even the Uzumaki is that there might be a couple in the clan who have lived an ordinary life for thirty years, and then they suddenly give birth to a child with extraordinary talent, even enough to influence the whole world.
The probability of such a "genius" being born is much higher than that of an ordinary person.
The reason is very simple. A ninja's acquired efforts for a hundred years are not even as good as the efforts of ten months passed down from his ancestral DNA.
Therefore, later on, ninja villages like Kirigakure would carry out the extermination plan of the bloodline ninjas and the ninja clan. Maybe they really did it to eliminate the differentiation between the poor (talent) and the rich (ability), and then achieve social fairness and justice, and thus contribute their own strength to maintaining peace in the entire world.
After all, all the chaos in this world can be traced back to the blood of Liudao.
"This child... her parents are both ordinary members of the Uzumaki clan, not ninjas, but she is a little different. In some ways, she is very similar to me, so she is my chosen successor."
Mito stroked the head of the little girl beside him, and then explained the child's identity to Hanyu .
Now the Uzumaki clan is the surviving clan, so those who were able to survive the "original" outcome of their demise have not been fanned to death by the butterfly's wings.
This is actually a very normal thing.
And since Mito explained it this way, Hanyu could naturally guess the identity of this red-haired Uzumaki girl.
Uzumaki Kushina, six years old at the time.
It has to be said that people with talent and genius will always be chosen. Konoha's original second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was still chosen by Uzumaki Mito.
Hanyu looked at the child carefully. If he remembered correctly, "Uzumaki Kushina" should be a beautiful girl with a plump oval face, but she still has a little baby fat now, so it happens to be a round face... Wrong, if she is six years old, it should be a small round face.
His scrutinizing gaze forced the child to hide behind Mito.
Hanyu shook his head. It seemed that he was not a person that children would like... But was it the child's fault? Who made him treat all children as naughty kids?
"Lady Mito, at this point, the matter is no longer something that has to be dealt with by Uzumaki, so you don't need to worry too much about it." Only after the child had completely hidden himself did Hanyu retract his gaze and said this to Mito.
However, Mito shook his head and said, "No matter how dispersed the power is, no matter how low the threshold for becoming a 'container' is, the Uzumaki clan are the most suitable people to become containers. And since the Uzumaki clan chooses to integrate into Konoha, then some responsibilities must be taken... although this decision is a bit unfair to the child.
Moreover, there is a difference between actively taking responsibility and passively accepting some things. The Uzumaki will take on the responsibilities they should take, but the village must also ensure its own fairness - the Uzumaki is only a member of Konoha, not all of Konoha. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hanyu was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
What he just said meant that the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki does not necessarily have to be a member of the Uzumaki clan. However, what Mito said undoubtedly makes more sense. The Uzumaki clan is now the Uzumaki clan of Konoha, and the Uzumaki clan is the most suitable people to become Jinchuriki, so the Uzumaki clan members will of course continue to be the vessels of the Nine-Tails.
This is as they should be, Mito and the Uzumaki clan will also actively assume such responsibility, but there is a more important meaning in her words... Konoha must remain fair, the Uzumaki clan members will become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki next, but if the village ever needs eight Jinchuriki, then these eight Jinchuriki will definitely not all be borne by the Uzumaki clan members.
Ninja is a high-risk profession, and Jinchūriki is a high-risk profession among high-risk professions - the tailed beasts will constantly struggle inside the Jinchūriki's body, looking for opportunities to break the seal, and they are also the first priority targets for killing by enemies on the battlefield.
We will shoulder the responsibilities that we should shoulder, but the village cannot put all the burdens on the Uzumaki clan... Mito is not favoring her own relatives. She seems to just want fair treatment and does not want her clansmen to be oppressed a hundred years later.
"Lady Mito , I don't think the situation you're worried about will happen. Once we have to choose multiple containers, the previous plan will definitely be disclosed to the Konoha high-level officials to a limited extent. At that time, even if it's just out of caution, they will not agree to concentrate all the power in the hands of the Uzumaki clan.
When there is only one part of the power, then of course the vortex is necessary, but if there are eight parts, then the top leaders have to consider the issue of balance and checks and balances." After thinking about it, Hanyu said so.
Preventing one party from dominating the market and preventing power imbalance is something that must be considered in politics, and the current high-level officials of Konoha are the most typical political creatures - their abilities are certainly not as great as those of their predecessors, but their minds are much more active.
"…"
It seemed that Mito had not thought much about this before, but now Hanyu reminded her.
"What you said makes sense, Hanyu, but...why do I feel like you have a problem with the Hokage and the current advisor?"
"Well, it's just an illusion, Mito-sama, it's just your illusion.
This is definitely not the case. The Third Hokage and his advisors are all people who are in their positions and are responsible for their policies. What I just said is just a guess based on their previous policies." Hanyu said quickly.
Well, it is definitely just a reasonable speculation about the ruling policies of the Konoha high-level officials. Hanyu is upright and kind, and he has never slandered anyone in his life.
The young Kushina had no idea what Hanyu and Mito were talking about, and she didn't know what burden she would have to bear next, but curiosity prompted her to stick her head out again.
"But if the Uzumaki clan is going to make sacrifices, do they really need to choose a child like this? The evil spirit, evil thoughts, and violent negative emotions in that thing might affect her mind. A mentally healthy adult is definitely more reliable than a child. Maybe Tsunade would be more suitable than her."
Fortunately, Tsunade did not hear what Hanyu said, otherwise she would definitely be very angry. This good leader would never think of her when doing good things, but when encountering such a thing, he mentioned her first.
Is it possible that the dignified Shadow Thirteen Incense is meant to be sold?
"First, considering the stability and continuity, a 'container' should be able to last a lifetime. After all, the cost of replacing the candidate is too high, so the candidate is best chosen from the children. Second, even Tsunade, who can use the Diamond Seal, cannot compare to this child in terms of talent. I can guarantee this."
Mito's words are credible. In Konoha, no one understands the Jinchūriki, the Nine-Tails Chakra, and the suppressive effect of the Uzumaki Chakra on the Nine-Tails Chakra better than her.
"As for the negative impact of that thing you're worried about, you'll need to take good care of her from now on."
As he spoke, Mito took Kushina's hand and let her walk out from behind him, then pushed the little person towards Hanyu.
Hanyu: "..."
"I don't have that much time, and her parents are just ordinary people... Hanyu, you are the one who advocated bringing Uzumaki to Konoha, so half of Uzumaki's future depends on you, and this is your responsibility." Mito said again.
Why does this sound a bit unfair?
But in a sense it is not wrong. Hanyu was the one who initially proposed the Uzumaki migration plan. If the Uzumaki clan "disappeared" in Konoha in the future, he would need to take responsibility.
Hanyu was a little helpless. He squatted down and his eyes were level with Kushina. After hesitating for a moment, he put a hand on the child's shoulder.
"What's the matter with your injuries?"
This initial communication was really awkward. Hanyu was indeed not good at interacting with children. Moreover, it was much more difficult now than when he was "communicating" with Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya and others. After all, at that time he only needed to rush up and PK.
Kushina first looked back at Mito, and after seeing the latter nodded slightly at her, she spoke softly:
"Fight at school..."
There was some moisture in the child's eyes. She seemed a little aggrieved, but very stubborn at the same time.
She just continued to say...
"I'll beat ten of them alone."
Well, this means that although she looks a bit miserable, she is not at a disadvantage.
