Ever since integrating Indra's chakra, Uchiha Yi felt his chakra becoming increasingly cold. This improved somewhat after he integrated Shinsu's physique, but Uchiha Yi's chakra was still significantly colder than that of an ordinary Uchiha.
It's likely that Uzumaki Mito could also sense this; what Karin could do, there's no reason Uzumaki Mito couldn't.
Fortunately, Uchiha Yi only had a two-tomoe Sharingan at the moment. If he had activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Yi couldn't help but suspect that he would have been slapped to death by Uzumaki Mito the moment he stepped into the Senju clan's territory.
Uchiha Madara had left too deep a shadow on Konoha.
Uchiha Yi believed that no matter how good Uzumaki Mito's temperament was, she would never allow a second Uchiha Madara to appear in Konoha.
Uchiha Yi and Uchiha Mikoto followed Uzumaki Kushina all the way to the Senju clan's territory. Near Uzumaki Mito's residence, Uchiha Yi could clearly feel a large number of Anbu members monitoring the area.
However, after entering the main gate, this sense of being watched disappeared.
This was normal. Uzumaki Mito was not only the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki but also Senju Hashirama's wife. Unless Hiruzen Sarutobi had a death wish, how could he dare to monitor Uzumaki Mito? If it were exposed, his position as the Third Hokage would likely be unstable.
The three of them arrived at the backyard and met this almost legendary kunoichi.
In many people's minds, Uzumaki Mito, who controlled the power of the Nine-Tails, was the strongest ninja of this era.
Tsunade was looking through scrolls beside Uzumaki Mito with a helpless expression. Seeing Uchiha Yi and the others arrive, she couldn't help but roll her eyes before continuing to read the scrolls.
"Lady Mito!" Uchiha Yi and Uchiha Mikoto quickly stepped forward to bow.
"Alright, alright! Have a seat!" Uzumaki Mito's eyes showed a hint of trance when she saw Uchiha Yi. She couldn't help but wonder if her eyes were playing tricks on her.
She actually saw the shadows of Uchiha Madara and Shinsu on Uchiha Yi.
This made Uzumaki Mito a little hesitant. These two were truly poles apart. It wasn't that Uzumaki Mito looked down on Shinsu, but Shinsu truly wasn't qualified to be compared to Uchiha Madara.
If Shinsu's strength was even one-tenth of Uchiha Madara's, she could die with a smile on her face.
Soon, Uzumaki Mito realized the reason. She probably mistook Hashirama for Shinsu. Upon closer inspection, Uchiha Yi's vitality was indeed superior to Shinsu's. While naturally not as great as Hashirama's, it was much more vibrant than that of an ordinary Uchiha.
After careful consideration, Uzumaki Mito quickly relaxed. Uchiha Yi's demeanor was vastly different from Uchiha Madara's, so it seemed she had worried too much. On the contrary, she felt a natural sense of closeness to Uchiha Yi.
Moreover, the other party harbored no ill will; he was an inherently kind Uchiha, unlike Uchiha Madara. Even before Madara defected from Konoha, when his relationship with Hashirama was excellent, Uzumaki Mito could still sense a strong hostility from Uchiha Madara.
It was as if she had stolen his beloved.
She had also heard many people talk about Uchiha Yi's intelligence before, and combining that with what she saw, she could almost conclude that Uchiha Yi was a good child.
As for Uchiha Mikoto, she was also a very gentle child. These two children were different from typical Uchihas. If all Uchihas became like this, Konoha would truly be at peace.
"Yes!" Uchiha Yi led Uchiha Mikoto to sit obediently not far from Uzumaki Mito, quietly waiting for her to speak.
"This time, I called you here, partly to thank you for taking care of Kushina during this period. It's because of your care that Kushina was able to integrate into Konoha so quickly." Uzumaki Mito looked at Uzumaki Kushina with a loving expression.
"It's our duty. Since Uzumaki-san has come to Konoha, she is naturally a part of Konoha, and she is also my friend now," Uchiha Yi said earnestly to Uzumaki Mito.
Regardless of their future relationship with Uzumaki Kushina, they were indeed good friends at present.
"Hmm!" Uzumaki Mito nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at Tsunade beside her, and then focused on Uchiha Yi: "I want to ask you, how do you view the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha?"
Uchiha Yi was stunned, not expecting Uzumaki Mito to ask him such a question. He was just a child under six years old!
However, he still spoke: "The relationship between a clan and a ninja village should be complementary. The village provides protection for the clan to a certain extent, safeguarding its members. Similarly, clan members are also part of the village and also need to protect this village.
As long as the village does not betray the clan, the clan also needs to bear the responsibility of protecting the village."
Facing Uzumaki Mito, Uchiha Yi prided himself on not being able to lie in front of her. He seriously expressed his thoughts.
Of course, Uchiha Yi also kept an escape clause for himself, for instance, when the village betrayed the clan, they would also rise up in resistance.
Like in the later stages of the Uchiha, Danzo Shimura had already screwed over the Uchiha so much; if they didn't resist, then Uchiha Yi might as well hang himself.
Uchiha Yi remembered that Shisui Uchiha was even killed by Danzo!
Hmm, if there's an opportunity in the future, I'll screw over Danzo Shimura first. Anyway, no matter the truth, the death of Uchiha Kagami could be related to Danzo.
Uzumaki Mito nodded slightly upon hearing this. She did not detect any falsehood in Uchiha Yi's words. As for the hypothetical situation Uchiha Yi presented, Uzumaki Mito didn't see it as a problem. The village wouldn't betray the Uchiha; surely there wasn't some big idiot who wanted to destroy the Uchiha, right?
A bit of suppression and division, that's normal, but betrayal, that's not it at all.
"How do you view the Hokage?" Uzumaki Mito then continued her line of questioning.
Tsunade, beside them, also perked up her ears to hear Uchiha Yi's answer.
"It's not that the person who becomes Hokage gains everyone's recognition, but rather that the person who gains everyone's recognition becomes Hokage. Some of the Uchiha were wrong from the very beginning."
Uzumaki Mito nodded in satisfaction. No matter what Uchiha Yi did in the future, he would strive for everyone's recognition, and that was enough.
He wasn't a dictator like Uchiha Madara.
"If you were to become Hokage, what would you do?" Uzumaki Mito then inquired.
"As Hokage, I would suppress all enemies in the world. Anyone who disrupts Konoha's safety and stability, whether family or friend, would be my enemy."
