Chapter 134 Cross-examination

Uzumaki Miyuki comes to Chiba's house and informs Chiba that Uzumaki Mito asked Chiba to go to the Uzumaki mansion to meet him.

Chiba replied to Uzumaki Miyuki that he would go right away.

Uzumaki Miyuki stretched and said, "Since I've been notified, I'll go back and rest."

Qianyu was surprised and asked, "You're not going?"

Uzumaki Miyuki smiled and asked back: "Why should I go? Mito-sama only asked me to inform you to go, but didn't ask me to go too. Besides, I think Hokage-sama is looking for Mito-sama, and Mito-sama is looking for you. It should be about the Jinchūriki. Anyway, it's your business. I just need to wait for the result."

Chiba looked Uzumaki Miyuki straight in the eyes and thanked her, "Thank you."

Uzumaki Miyuki pursed her lips and smiled, "This is not like you, and this is what I promised you. Well, I'm tired after a day, so I won't bother you anymore."

Uzumaki Miyuki waved to Chiba and left.

After watching Uzumaki Miyuki leave, Chiba walked towards Uzumaki Mito's residence.

After arriving at Uzumaki Mito's residence, Chiba saw Uzumaki Mito at this time.

Uzumaki Mito is now very old and Chiyu seems to feel the deathly aura surrounding him.

Uzumaki Mito's old voice sounded: "Chiyu, you still succeeded."

Chiyu couldn't understand Uzumaki Mito's tone. Was it a pity? Or something else...

Chiba was silent for a while and then asked, "So Kushina didn't become a Jinchūriki as you expected, are you disappointed?"

Uzumaki Mito looked at Qianyu with a somewhat turbid look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "You are still so hostile to me, Qianyu, whether you believe it or not, I am happy at this moment, happy for Kushina, and happy for you.

You were able to make Hiruzen change his mind, which must have taken a lot of hardships. For Kushina, you did not give up and persevered alone, which is enough to prove your tenacity and love for Kushina.

What you said was right. Konoha and Kushina, I value Konoha more because it was founded by my husband. Konoha carries my, Hashirama's, dream. I hope Konoha will get better and better.

However, my feelings for Kushina have never changed. I treat Kushina as my own child and have high expectations for her. The reason I want Kushina to become a Jinchūriki is not only because of Konoha, but also because I believe Kushina can turn the Nine-Tails into her own power.

Qianyu, there are some things that require trade-offs. You will definitely encounter this situation in the future, and maybe you will understand me then."

Chiba looked Uzumaki Mito straight in the eye and said firmly, "Mito-sama, I may be faced with a situation where I need to make a choice, but I will never understand you."

Uzumaki Mito's eyes were a little surprised.

Qianyu said in a deep voice: "To the point where you have to make a choice, it means that the things you have to make a choice are extremely important to you. Lord Mito, ask yourself, does the candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki have to be Kushina? Does it have to be a member of the Uzumaki clan?

If the Jinchūriki must be from the Uzumaki clan, then why do other ninja villages have no members of the Uzumaki clan then they still have Jinchūriki?

Lord Mito, you are far from the point where you need to make a choice. You have never been making any choice from the beginning to the end. You have been considering Konoha from the very beginning.

You chose your own clan members as Jinchūriki because Konoha needs them.

Don't say you're worried that other Chuuriki will easily cause the tailed beasts to lose control. Although I said that the Mangekyō Sharingan can control the tailed beasts, you, Hokage, and Danzo all know that only three magatama Sharingans are needed to use the Sharingan's illusion to control the tailed beasts, because Uchiha Madara once did so.

Even if one person is not able to do it, there are quite a few ninjas in the Uchiha clan who have opened the three-magatama Sharingan. If those ninjas work together and use the Sharingan's illusions, they will definitely be able to control the tailed beasts and help the jinchūriki control the tailed beasts.

It’s just because the Uchiha clan is not welcome in Konoha and people don’t trust the Uchiha clan.

I don't want to deny your feelings for Kushina, but you and Konoha want to bind Kushina in the name of feelings. How do you want me to understand this?"

Uzumaki Mito was speechless. She had no way to refute Chiyu's words.

Qianyu suddenly asked: "Lord Mito, I have always wanted to ask you a question, why didn't you take your husband's surname, Senju, after you married the first Hokage?"

Uzumaki Mito replied, "Because I was part of an alliance marriage. The village chief Uzumaki Ashina led the Uzushiogakure Village to join Konoha and signed a friendly agreement with Hashirama. I married Hashirama and became his wife. The village chief proposed to Hashirama that I keep my Uzumaki name, and Hashirama agreed."

Chiba stared at Uzumaki Mito and asked, "Then why did Uzumaki Ashina Village Chief make this proposal to Lord Hashirama?"

Uzumaki Mito guessed: "Maybe the village chief wants me to always remember that I am a member of the Uzumaki clan."

Qianyu had a hint of sarcasm on his face and asked, "So you knew it, Mito-sama, but did you do it?"

Uzumaki Mito felt a little uncomfortable: "What do you want to say?"

Chiba explained to Uzumaki Mito: "It's the same thing again. As a member of the Uzumaki clan, why didn't you go to support the fall of the Uzumaki Country? Please don't tell me it's because of Konoha.

Teacher Orochimaru once told me why Konoha did not support the Whirlpool Country. It was simply because there was no benefit, because you had already given the most powerful sealing technique of the Whirlpool Country to Konoha.

Konoha sent troops to support the Whirlpool Country, but it could not gain any benefits, so it chose to stand by and watch the Whirlpool Country perish.

Lord Mito, I would like to ask you, if you always remember that you are a member of the Uzumaki clan, why didn't you provide support? Even if Konoha did not choose to provide support, why didn't you go as a member of the Uzumaki clan?

If you want to say that you are the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and cannot leave Konoha at will, then I have nothing to say. In this case, you are not a member of the Uzumaki clan, but only a person with the same surname who has nothing to do with the Uzumaki clan of the Whirlpool Country. "

After hearing what Qianyu said, even the good-tempered Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Qianyu pretended not to notice Uzumaki Mito's angry expression and continued, "Also, is the current Konoha still on the same path as the original intention of the first Hokage to establish Konoha?

I think Lord Mito must have heard about the uproarious incident involving Lord Sakumo back then, right?

And with all the things that happened before, I can't understand, Lord Mito, is it Konoha that you want to protect, or is it the original intention of the first Hokage to establish Konoha?

Don't you think that the current Konoha has gone against the original intention of the first Hokage to establish Konoha?"
