Chapter 400 Negotiation
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Everyone was a little tipsy and the birthday party was coming to an end.
"This is what grandma prepared for you."
Taking advantage of the gap between everyone's conversations, Mito was the first to take out the gift.
The smile on her face never faded throughout the entire night.
It was a red envelope, and it looked a bit familiar.
"Thank you grandma."
Kushina's cheeks flushed red as she bowed slightly and took it with both hands.
"Can I open it and take a look?"
Perhaps it was the alcohol that was at work, but before Mito could reply, Kushina had already curiously opened a corner of it.
No wonder it looks familiar!!
Inside the red envelope was the land deed, exactly the same as the one Misaki received when she got married.
Mito knew that he would not be able to live to see the day when Kushina got married.
It would be appropriate to take this opportunity today to give the dowry to Kushina.
"You kid..."
Mito smiled and shook his head and just watched it.
"Grandma, this is too expensive. I can't accept it."
Kushina took a quick look and even her drunkenness dissipated a little.
This red envelope is too valuable!!!
I used to joke that I would ask my grandma for some sooner or later, but when she really got them, she didn't dare to accept them.
After all, I am not her biological granddaughter.
Whatever Mito's reasons for adopting her, Kushina was grateful.
How can you accept such an expensive gift?
"What can't I ask for?"
"Just think of it as your dowry in advance."
Mito pushed Kushina's hand back in mock anger.
"Then you can wait until I get married before giving it to me."
Kushina continued to refuse, she had never thought about why Mito would give it in advance.
"Just keep it."
"What if grandma regrets it if I miss this opportunity?"
Chuan Feng used a joking tone to resolve the situation, and there was no sound of incongruity.
"Why are you regretting this? This is what I prepared for her."
"You three are my favorite."
"Grandma gives one to everyone, and she's never partial."
Mito glanced at Kawakaze but didn't appreciate it.
She put Kushina in the same position as Tsunade and Nawaki, and she meant it sincerely.
Kushina was just about to be moved when Mito turned around and started teasing her again.
"If you really feel it's too hot, just give it to Minato for safekeeping."
"It makes no difference anyway."
Mito said in a teasing tone, pointing at Minato.
It also proves that she approves of the love between these two young people.
"Grandma, what's the difference?"
If these words came from someone else, Kushina might even be proud.
But when it came out of Mito's mouth, she felt only shy.
"I can..."
Minato was suddenly called and refused without thinking too much.
He doesn't dare keep this red envelope.
"Cough cough~"
Chuan Feng covered his mouth and coughed lightly in time, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Sorry, my throat is a little itchy."
He casually passed it off and secretly gave Minato a look.
"I love this red envelope so much, thank you."
Minato understood what he meant and did as Kawakaze asked.
After saying that, he took the red envelope from Kushina, looking like someone obsessed with money.
"You're welcome. Treat her well in the future."
Mito smiled slightly upon seeing this, without any grudge at all.
"Of course, don't worry."
Before Minato had the time to put the red envelope away, he scratched the back of his head with a silly smile.
"I'm furious."
Kushina glared at Minato fiercely.
Now that he has become capable, he actually dares to go against me.
Minato shrank his neck and did not refute. He was also helpless.
Now that the matter was settled, Kushina stopped trying to shirk responsibility.
As Mito started speaking, everyone gave their gifts.
In response to everyone's blessings, Kushina thanked them one by one.
While offering their blessings, she and Minato were naturally teased.
They should be the next to get married.
Finally, after eating the birthday cake, Kushina saw everyone out the door.
"Chuan Feng, Xiao Gang, wait a moment."
"follow me."
Mito stopped Kawakaze and Tsunade who were about to go out.
"it is good."
"Ginji, stay with your uncle for a while."
Kawakaze handed Ginji over to Nawaki and followed Mito's slow pace.
He seemed to realize something, and his face looked a little serious.
Tsunade accompanied Kawakaze, and the three of them entered the bedroom one after another.
"sit."
Mito sat down on the edge of the bed, his eyes unfocused.
"Grandma, what do you want us to do?"
Tsunade came over to Mito and sat down next to her.
"You are the Hokage now, so I guess I need to say hello to you."
Mito calmed himself down and said something that left Tsunade completely confused.
"what's up?"
Tsunade frowned. Grandma never got involved in the affairs of the village.
"I plan to seal the Nine-Tails away."
Mito's tone was flat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that was insignificant.
"Oh, whatever you like."
"No need to tell..."
"What did you say???"
Tsunade felt a little dizzy and didn't react at first.
Then the drunkenness instantly dissipated and he stood up.
His eyes suddenly opened wide and his whole body seemed to freeze.
She knew very well what it meant to seal away the tailed beast.
"You heard that right."
"After so many years, it's time for grandma to go find your grandpa."
"He must miss me over there too."
Mito reached out and pulled the somewhat stiff Tsunade to sit next to him, with a faint smile on his face.
She has no regrets in her life.
I have long since let go of birth, old age, sickness and death.
"Grandma~"
"I..."
Before she could utter a complete sentence, Tsunade's tears could no longer stop falling.
Her eyes were red, and Mito's image in front of her began to become blurry.
"Silly child, this day will come."
"Grandma has been with you guys long enough. If you don't go again, your grandpa will be jealous."
Mito touched Tsunade's head, just like he did when they were children.
It’s a pity that time goes by too fast and grandma can’t be with you forever.
"Grandma, can't you just take it a little slower?"
Chuan Feng turned his head away and then turned back.
"It's useless when destiny comes."
Mito shook his head slowly.
Her body, despite her youthful appearance, has reached its limit.
"No, I don't believe it."
"I'll go find Orochimaru right now. There must be a way."
Tsunade said as she stood up again, wiped her tears and was about to walk out.
It was as if all the strength in my body had returned.
She didn't want to, and didn't dare to think about it!!
If there really was any other way, why would Mito ever want to leave them?
"Wake up."
"Do you still look like a Hokage?"
Mito shouted, causing Tsunade to stop in her tracks.
The tears that had just stopped flowing down again, leaving circles on the floor.
"In my current state, I can still seal the Nine-Tails safely."
"It's unnecessary to delay it any further and it will only add more variables."
Mito began to explain, completely destroying Tsunade's last hope.
"I know you're sad."
"I feel bad too, but~ you are still the Hokage."
Chuan Feng let out a long breath and pulled Tsunade to sit next to him.
He reached out and wiped the tears from her face.
"..."
Tsunade was completely speechless and could only sob mechanically.
"I have two suitable candidates, and I want to discuss them with you."
"Kushina is the long-destined container for the Nine-Tails."
"Although it's not fair to her, this has been the outcome since she came to Konoha."
"Misaki, it was a surprise."
"But she is very talented and learns the sealing technique very quickly."
"Although he is a bit older, he is still a suitable candidate."
"I think they should all understand."
Mito sighed, talking to himself.
You can see that there is some reluctance on her face. She knows best the pain of being a Jinchūriki.
Once one becomes a Jinchūriki, only death can free him from this status.
Not only do they have to suffer from the erosion of the tailed beasts at every moment, but they also suffer some unfair treatment.
But unfortunately, these two girls don't have as strong strength and status as her.
One she regarded as her own granddaughter, and the other was her granddaughter-in-law.
No matter who she chooses, she will not be happy.
Hashirama, you really left me with a difficult problem.
