Chapter 33: Tired Mito Uzumaki

Uzumaki Mito felt a little sad when she saw Chiba's vigilance towards her.

She had seen how Chiba treated Uzumaki Kushina over the past few years.

Uzumaki Mito was both relieved and helpless.

I am relieved because Chiba and Uzumaki Kushina have a very good relationship, but I am helpless because both Chiba and Uzumaki Kushina seem to only have each other.

Chiba has no other friends, and Uzumaki Kushina also has no other friends.

Moreover, when Chiyu came to see her before, Chiyu had already moved to a new house. And because Sarutobi Hiruzen had visited Chiyu at the Konoha Ninja Hospital, the villagers of Konoha no longer openly mocked Chiyu.

So Uzumaki Mito asked Chiba, "Chiba, do you feel a sense of belonging to Konoha now?"

And Chiba's answer was 'I will always belong to Konoha'.

But Uzumaki Mito could clearly feel that Chiba was lying, and at the same time, he could also feel... Chiba's malice towards Konoha.

It was then that Uzumaki Mito realized that Chiba had always hated Konoha in her heart.

Also.

Because of the Uchiha clan's persecution, she almost died in the womb.

His parents were forced to defect from Konoha and were hunted down by the Anbu.

After his parents died, he returned to Konoha and was not only not recognized by the Uchiha clan, but was also looked down upon.

How can I not hate Konoha?

And Qianyu has been disguising herself all the time. She has been disguising herself since she returned to Konoha at the age of four, and even now, she is still disguising herself.

Qianyu endured pressure and difficulties that he shouldn't have to endure at his age.

Uzumaki Mito wanted to help Chiba, but she was powerless.

On one side are her husband's clan, and on the other side is the Konoha Village founded by her husband.

Uzumaki Mito really wanted to tell Chiba not to hate Konoha.

But she couldn't say this, and she had no right to say it to Qianyu.

Uzumaki Kushina seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere and pulled on Uzumaki Mito's sleeve: "Grandma Mito, what's wrong?"

Uzumaki Mito forced a smile and said, "Nothing, Kushina, I want to talk to Chiba alone, is that ok?"

The innocent Uzumaki Kushina agreed immediately, "Of course."

Just as Uzumaki Kushina was about to leave, Chiba suddenly grabbed Uzumaki Kushina's hand and said to Uzumaki Mito: "Mito-sama, the homework that Orochimaru-sensei gave me is quite heavy. I will just chat with Kushina for a while and then leave."

Chiba felt that it would be very troublesome for Uzumaki Mito to talk to him alone.

Chiba also felt that there was nothing to talk about with Uzumaki Mito.

Uzumaki Mito wants Uzumaki Kushina to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so he and Uzumaki Mito are naturally on opposite sides.

No matter how calm Uzumaki Kushina was, she could still find that there seemed to be a problem between Chiba and Uzumaki Mito.

Uzumaki Kushina, who was caught in the middle, was a little embarrassed: "Chiba... Grandma Mito..."

Uzumaki Mito sighed and said, "Chiyu, I don't want to talk to you alone as a member of Konoha, but I want to talk to you as Kushina's elder. Is that not okay?"

Chiba's brows furrowed slightly as she glanced at Uzumaki Kushina.

Seeing Uzumaki Kushina's embarrassed expression, Chiba's brows furrowed even more.

Chiba released Uzumaki Kushina's hand and said, "I understand, Kushina, please go out and wait for me. I will talk to Mito-sama soon and come out to find you."

After Uzumaki Kushina left, Chiba looked at Uzumaki Mito and asked, "Mito-sama, I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

Uzumaki Mito said in a gentle voice, "Chiba, you are a member of my husband's clan, so I am also your elder."

Qianyu lowered her head slightly, her voice still distant: "Lord Mito, I don't have a last name."

Uzumaki Mito smiled bitterly.

You don't have a surname... and you don't admit that you are a descendant of the Senju clan...

Uzumaki Mito shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Qianyu, I am relieved to leave Kushina to you in the future..."

Hearing what Uzumaki Mito said, Chiba raised her head and looked at Uzumaki Mito again.

Uzumaki Mito's mouth curled up somewhat bitterly. It seemed that only Uzumaki Kushina could make Chiba reveal her true feelings, but this also showed that Uzumaki Kushina was very important to Chiba.

Uzumaki Mito continued: "Almost all of us in the Uzumaki clan have special physiques. We are born with huge chakra and strong vitality. What I am going to tell you next is the secret of Konoha..."

When Uzumaki Mito was about to continue speaking, he suddenly sensed an increasingly strong malice rising from Chiyu.

Although Chiyu's expression did not change at all, Uzumaki Mito was very sure that Chiyu's malice was directed at her.

Uzumaki Mito was very confused. If she said what she was going to say next, she could understand that Chiyu had ill intentions towards her.

But she hasn't said anything yet, why did Qianyu suddenly feel so much hostility towards her?

Uzumaki Mito's eyes narrowed.

Could it be that... Qianyu knows something?

Of course Qianyu knew.

Uzumaki Mito first told him about the Uzumaki clan's physical constitution, and then told him about Konoha's secrets.

What Uzumaki Mito is going to tell him next is most likely about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Chiba noticed Uzumaki Mito's scrutinizing gaze on him.

Qianyu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Uzumaki Mito saw something?

That shouldn’t be the case. He has always been good at managing his facial expressions.

Qianyu suddenly shuddered and looked a little ugly.

He forgot something very important!

The ability that being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki brings to Uzumaki Mito.

Sense of malice.

No wonder Uzumaki Mito said just now that there was no need to be so defensive against her. It turned out that she sensed his defensiveness towards her.

What a troublesome ability. If that’s the case, then my disguise is completely useless against Uzumaki Mito.

Qianyu took a long breath and calmed himself down.

Since it is impossible to disguise in front of Uzumaki Mito, there is no need to disguise anymore.

Sensing the change in Chiba's attitude, Uzumaki Mito looked into Chiba's eyes seriously and said, "Sure enough, Chiba, you know about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and you also know why Kushina came to Konoha, right?"

"Mito-sama, I have no way of knowing."

Chiyu no longer pretended and said everything openly. It was one thing for Uzumaki Mito to guess it, but it was another thing for Chiyu to say it herself.

Uzumaki Mito frowned slightly: "Yes, you have no way to know, but you just know it. Then your malice towards me is because Konoha wants Kushina to become a Jinchūriki?"

Chiba gave a formal answer: "Lord Mito, this is Konoha's decision. I have no right to ask or interfere."

Uzumaki Mito felt really tired talking to Chiba. This kid was really stubborn.
