Chapter 392
Reika and Kushina followed Mito, choosing small accessories in front of the stall.
Minato looked at Kushina, smiling from time to time, looking a little...
Uh... wretched...
No, that's not right... it should be... loser!
The three generations of the people followed the villagers around and laughed and talked.
I wanted to ask them what they thought of Konoha recently.
It can be said that they were all happy, as if the sadness of Uzumaki Mito's departure was gone.
Only Jiraiya was a bit miserable.
"Tsunako, don't be impulsive!" In front of the casino door, Tsunade was trying to get in.
Jiraiya was desperately pulling her hand, otherwise he would let her in.
"Let me go, I'm only going to gamble, just one!"
Listening to the sounds of 'big big big', 'small small small', 'open open open' coming from inside, Tsunade felt uncomfortable all over.
It was more uncomfortable than an ant crawling, and more uncomfortable than being licked by Jiraiya!
How long has it been since she last gambled?
In the past, she was on the battlefield, and even if she was addicted to gambling, she would endure it.
And she would find other things to do.
She thought she had given up gambling, but she didn't expect that as soon as she returned to Konoha and heard the voice of the gambler, she felt terrible.
"Don't! Hold it back, Tsunako, you really can't gamble anymore, it's harmful to your health!"
The two of them started to fight at the entrance of the casino.
The guards standing on both sides of the entrance were no longer surprised by this scene.
They could see one or two such scenes of relatives and friends dissuading gamblers from gambling addiction almost every day.
It was just surprising that such a beautiful woman could be addicted to gambling, and she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the white-haired man.
A girl with a gambling addiction is a bottomless pit. She will gamble everything she can, and I don't know what you want from her!
But what does this have to do with them?
Their casino is a legal business, and the taxes they pay to the Fire Country every year are still considerable.
The taxes of these shop owners are directly paid to the Fire Country Daimyo Mansion.
Konoha has no right to intervene, and the vendors only need to pay them rent.
This is also a means for the Daimyo Mansion to control the ninja village.
Ninjas do not produce, so they must rely on the funding from the Daimyo Mansion to develop.
Tsunade and her actions also attracted Mito's attention. She looked at Tsunade's gambling addiction and smiled bitterly.
How could a good girl get addicted to this!
It's all the fault of the big pillar!
She walked up, stretched out her hand and grabbed Tsunade's ear, and took her away from the entrance of the casino.
"Hiss..."
"It hurts, it hurts..."
"Grandma hurts..."
Mito said unhappily: "You still know it hurts, our family has so many fine traditions, how did you get your grandfather's gambling addiction!"
And you learned it so well.
You will lose every time you gamble!
Damn it!
If she hadn't been in charge of the finances of the Senju clan, the Senju clan would have been out of money long ago with Tsunade's gambling.
"I don't dare anymore! I won't dare anymore, grandma, please let go!" Tsunade struggled and shouted.
She didn't dare to resist, although Mito's strength was not very strong.
But even if she had the strength to resist, she didn't have the courage, so she could only follow the strength of Uzumaki Mito and be pulled away by her.
Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.
It's great that his wallet was saved!
Otherwise, he would really cry in the toilet.
After all, most of the money was given to him by Orochimaru, and it was the living expenses for him and Nagato.
If he hadn't learned that Mito-sama was in poor health, he might have stayed in the Rain Country to take care of the three people and not come back.
There is a casino here, so Mito doesn't plan to stay here.
Soon they came to the bottom of the Nanhe River.
Above the river is the Uchiha clan land. With the special characteristics of several people, it is not easy for them to set foot on the Uchiha clan land.
Even if Da Zhuang guarantees it, it is not possible.
After all, the Uchiha’s hostility to the upper echelons is not a day or two.
But the scenery here is also very good.
Especially at night.
There is a bright moon in the sky, fireflies on the ground...
There is a dazzling galaxy in the sky, and a rippling river on the ground...
There is a breeze in the air, sweeping away the fragrance of soil and water plants, and Mito’s heart is a rare peace!
A slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she told the little ones about the past, "Not long after we got married, Dazhuzi brought me here to watch the night!"
She pointed to the river not far away, and then said: "I remember we were there at the time, and he told me that he and Madara were competing here to see who could pee farther!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing, "Don't look at his strength, but he is sometimes very innocent!"Kushina couldn't help but be surprised. It seems that Minato is also a natural idiot!
Could he be the illegitimate son of the first generation of Master Ki... uh... illegitimate grandson!
Just as they were talking about the past, Danzo's clone walked in front of Uzumaki Mito, with a guilty look on his face and wanted to say something.
"Mito-sama, I'm sorry, I was..."
But she was interrupted by Uzumaki Mito.
She looked at Danzo, and a rare kind smile appeared on her face!
"Danzo, I know what you think, and I know why you do this!"
Hearing this, Danzo felt even more guilty, and his head couldn't help but droop a lot.
Seeing him like this, Mito reached out and touched his head.
It was like a grandmother touching her grandson, but Danzo didn't feel disgusted at all.
They all grew up under Mito's watch.
"Danzo, do you still remember when you came to me to name the Root before you founded it?"
Hearing this, Danzo's eyes were slightly dazed.
Of course he remembered that when Sarutobi took over the position of Acting Hokage, he was still unwilling to accept it and immediately asked Sarutobi for the position of the Anbu training institution.
At that time, Sarutobi finally nodded in order to balance the power of various clans.
That night, he ran to the Whirlpool Tower to find Uzumaki Mito, wanting to ask her to help him come up with an idea.
After all, this was his first time to establish an organization and he had no experience.
"Remember!" He nodded and looked at Mito.
After all, it was his first time, and he still remembered it clearly!
"Our Konoha is like a tree. The more a tree yearns for the light above, the more its roots will go down, toward the soil, toward the depths of darkness..."
"That's why I named your organization 'Root'!"
As she said that, she looked at Danzo and said seriously: "But you have to know that a tree can survive not only with leaves, branches, or roots."
"Leaves..." She looked at the six kids in the future.
"Trunks..." She looked at Sarutobi, Orochimaru and the other adults!
Finally, she looked at Danzo, "Roots..."
"These are what make up a complete tree, and each one is indispensable!"
"Danzo, you must remember one sentence, in the dark, keep the light in your heart!"
"Your roots are the roots of Konoha, an important part of absorbing nutrients from the earth, and an important department of Konoha!"
"In the future, don't be swallowed up by the desires in your heart, you must learn to control and master the desires in your heart!"
After saying that, she looked at the bright moon in the sky, and then pointed to the reflection in the water.
"Over the years, I have been watching you silently, wanting to see how far you will fall!"
But what she didn't expect was that Danzo would inexplicably disperse the malice in his heart when she transferred the Nine-Tails.
This was something she never expected, and she still hasn't figured out why.
Hearing this, Danzo lowered his head in shame again.
"Mister Mito... I..."
Mito replied: "I'm not saying this to suppress or ridicule you. Humans are not perfect creatures. Both you and I will make mistakes. Sometimes the mistakes we make are almost catastrophic.
But you must remember that if you make a mistake, you should correct it. This is the most important thing!"
After saying this, she looked at Danzo with a hint of relief.
"Look, you also know your mistakes and have made changes!"
Danzo's clone was stunned. Did he... no... change his original body? !
Why didn't he know it!
Seeing that he didn't understand, Mito just smiled and didn't explain anything.
She continued, "Hokage is composed of 'fire' and 'shadow'. I know you have always longed for the position of Hokage and wanted to prove that you are no worse than the monkey, but didn't you realize that you are already a 'shadow'?
Just like Sarutobi commands the light, and you control the darkness!"
"From now on, as long as you don't attack the people of Konoha, I will never blame you!"
Hearing this, Danzo's clone slightly opened one eye, which was full of tears!
For a moment, a man in his thirties, forties, and fifties actually cried like a child.
"Mito-sama..."
(ಥ﹏ಥ)
This surprised Orochimaru and the others.
Danzo, this old silver coin, actually cried?
Sarutobi showed a relieved smile, cry, it's okay to cry!
He turned his head to look at the bright moon in the sky, and then looked down at the reflection in the river.
Fire and shadow!
At this moment, he had a better understanding of the Hokage's thoughts.
