Konoha: The seal art teacher of the ninja school

Chapter 18 Whirlpool Mito
In the evening, Thousand Hands Mansion.

A red-haired woman was leisurely lying on a rocking chair under the pomegranate tree in the courtyard, squinting her eyes to appreciate the afterglow of the setting sun, holding a round fan in her hand and shaking it from time to time.

Time seems to have frozen in this courtyard, quiet and serene.

The woman looked about 20 years old.The bright red hair is tied into a pair of ball heads, and there is a purple diamond mark in the center of the forehead. He is wearing the traditional white dress of the Uzumaki clan.

Although she looks young and beautiful, she has a temperament that has gone through vicissitudes, which makes people dare not despise her.

"Grandma Mito, grandma Mito..."

At this moment, joyful shouts came from outside the door, breaking the tranquility of the courtyard.

A figure with long bright red hair hurried in with a large box of things.

Apparently this red-haired woman known as "Grandma Mito" is the widow of the first Hokage, the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and Konoha's Dinghai Shenzhen-Whirlpool Mito.

After hearing the girl's call, Uzumaki Mito slowly opened his slightly squinted eyes, and seeing the other party's appearance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

"It's Jiu Xinna, what? Did you get into trouble again?"

Although the years did not leave any traces on her body, in fact Mito was already very old at this time, and her mentality was gradually aging.

As her relatives grew up and passed away, the one she loves the most now is Jiu Xinnai who has no direct blood relationship with her.

Part of the reason is that the kid Kushina is her own kind and bears the same fate as her.

But more importantly, in getting along day and night, she really fell in love with this strong and optimistic girl.

Although living a life of being excluded by others in the village, Kushina still did not give up and worked hard to prove herself every day.

She even said something like "I'm going to be Hokage's woman!"

However, this child also inherited the reckless temper inherited from the Uzumaki family.

When it comes to other people's provocations, she is never obedient, and always strikes hard, so she usually makes troubles.

Either he beat up the members of the Sarutobi family today, or he beat up the young head of the Shimura family tomorrow, which caused Mito a lot of headaches.

So when Mito saw Kushina looking for him in a hurry, he habitually thought that she was in trouble again.

But this time she obviously didn't guess right.

As soon as Jiuxinna put the box in his hand on the stone table beside him, he pouted dissatisfiedly and said:

"I didn't say that I caused trouble! Grandma, don't you remember? I went to school as a teaching assistant today. Grandma arranged for me!"

Mito tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally remembered, it seems that there is such a thing.

The cause of the incident was that not long ago she occasionally caught a cold and fell ill.

Although it seemed like a small matter, it was like a big earthquake to the whole Konoha.

After all, the Uzumaki family has always been known for their strong vitality, and they rarely get sick.

"The Uzumaki clan don't catch a cold" and "idiots don't catch a cold" are "common sense" widely circulated in the ninja world.

So this also means a cruel fact.

Mito is old.

Even though the appearance is still young, the physical function has begun to decline.

Obviously the chakra in the Yin Seal is no longer enough to keep her body in top condition.

Although Mito said it was no big deal.

It was even rare for him to catch a cold for the first time in his life, and joked that he was very happy to finally take off the title of "stupid".

But Konoha's high-level executives are not as optimistic as she is.

After all, in addition to being the wife of the first Hokage, Mito also has the identity of Injuriki.

In her stomach is the ultimate weapon capable of destroying the country - the nine-tailed demon fox.

It can be said that the peaceful situation that is barely maintained in the ninja world today is largely due to the nuclear deterrent effect brought by these tailed beasts.

Moreover, the ninja world has been undercurrents recently, and border frictions between countries continue.

Many people can see that a war sweeping the entire ninja world is brewing...

So whether Mito's aging and inability to suppress Kyuubi broke out, or Mito died with Kyuubi, it is a consequence that Konoha cannot bear.

If it weren't for Mito's special status, Konoha might have already replaced Jinzhuriki.

But since that day, Konoha is still ready to replace Jinchuriki at any time.

And Uzumaki Kushina, who was the number one candidate for the second Kyuubi Jinchuriki, was naturally completely confined in the village.

The depression of not being able to leave the village, Mito's grandma's passing away soon, and the fear of becoming Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...

These heavy burdens are also pressed on the thin shoulders of the 15-year-old girl, making poor Kushina increasingly restless.

The frequency of beatings by the children of the major ninja clans has also increased significantly...

In order to distract Kushina and avoid troubles, Mito began to pay attention to finding a job for Kushina.

After all, work is the cure for everything.

Although she had found several jobs for her before, it was a pity that Jiu Xinnai couldn't do each of them for long.

Until yesterday when Lake Biwa approached her and asked her for some advice on the sealing technique class.

From her, Mito learned about the interesting story of the new sealing art teacher, as well as the surge in enrollment for the sealing art class.

With an idea, she asked Lake Biwa to arrange a job as a teaching assistant for Kushina.

It was obviously just what happened yesterday, but Mito found that it took him a lot of time to remember.

"Oh, I'm old, and my memory is failing."

Uzumaki Mito sighed with emotion.

But with her young and beautiful appearance, there is always a feeling of moaning without illness.

Kushina knew that grandma was really sad, so she hurriedly walked behind Mito and gave her a hammer on her back, and exaggeratedly said:

"No way! Grandma is still very young! Going out for a walk, I don't know how many boys I am fascinated by."

Mito touched the Yin seal on his forehead, shook his head and said with a smile:
"Hehe, don't talk about me as an old woman. Tell grandma, how was your first day as a teaching assistant? What did you do today?"

"I did a lot of things today!"

In order to divert grandma's attention, Kushina said without thinking.

As a result, as soon as she said these words, the expression on her face froze instantly, and the hand that was beating Mito's back also stopped.

Because at this time, Jiu Xinnai realized that although he had indeed done a lot of things today, there were not many serious things in it!
It's not suitable to tell grandma at all.

"Huh? Why didn't you speak?"

Hearing that grandma was already urging her to continue, Jiu Xinnai knew that she couldn't delay any longer.

She didn't want to lie to grandma, so she had to omit some "irrelevant" places.

She stammered and began:

"... At the beginning, I entered the sealing art office... Then I exchanged my sealing art experience with Mr. Xia Yan, who is in charge of teaching the sealing art class,"

Although it was carried out while being suspended in mid-air.

"Then Teacher Xia Yan gave me a set of questions to do, and he praised me for my solid foundation..."

Although I basically don't know the following topics, I was almost driven crazy by the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage.

"By the way," Kushina suddenly thought of something, "Grandma, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Grandma doesn't know, but if you want to eat, you can tell the cook first."

Mito wondered why Kushina suddenly talked about eating, but answered truthfully.

"Then I want to eat chicken tonight..."

"...and rabbits!"

Let you be in the same cage!
I want you to be at the same table!

It seems that that question caused a lot of psychological blow to Jiu Xinnai, otherwise it would be impossible to dispel the hatred in his heart.

It's a pity that Mito obviously couldn't understand Kushina's hardcore ideas.

She turned her head and looked at the rabbit eater with wide eyes: "The rabbit is so cute, how can you eat the rabbit?"

"And you won't be able to find this thing for a while, right? Even if you find a cook, you won't know how to cook."

"emmmmm...forget it, in fact, I'm just talking."

Kushina felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Mito's grandma, and dismissed her sudden whim embarrassingly.

But she hasn't given up on the plan entirely.

By the way, Xia Yan has been to so many places and has seen a lot. Maybe he will know how to eat rabbits. I will ask him when I have a chance.

Kushina thought so, and under the urging of Grandma Mito, continued to tell her "experience".

"...Finally, Teacher Xia Yan also taught me how to make the teaching aids for tomorrow's sealing class..."

Although I was addicted to playing cards, I didn't start working until after school.

Kushina, who had finally told her abridged version of her experience, couldn't help wiping away her sweat.

"It seems that you had a fulfilling day today!" Mito nodded gratifiedly.

Looks like this job can last a little longer.

"Ah? Yes, it is indeed very fulfilling." Kushina said with a guilty conscience.

In order to avoid Grandma Mito asking for details, Kushina decided to change the topic first.

She clapped her hands together, pointed to the box on the stone table and said:

"Grandma, you see I brought a lot of teaching aids back to make them, do you want to see them?"

Mito, who was smiling at first, frowned slightly when he heard Kushina's words.

"Why do you need to continue to do this after get off work? That sealing teacher is too convincing."

Although she wanted Kushina to focus on her career and reduce her troubles, she never thought about making her a workaholic.

"I remember his name is Xia Yan, right? Should I tell Lake Biwa..."

"No!"

Kushina exclaimed, and the voice echoed in the courtyard.

Mito turned to look at Kushina with surprise in his eyes.

Why is there such a big reaction all of a sudden?
Kushina cried out in her heart, but on the surface she smiled and explained:
"Grandma, it's only my first day at work, it's hard for me to behave like you."

"And these are all I asked to bring back to do, as a practice of the sealing technique."

"Oh?" Mito teased, "Why didn't you see you being so active when you were learning the sealing technique?"

Jiu Xinnai murmured softly: "If learning the sealing technique in the past can be so fun, I must be so active every day."

"Fun?" Mito raised his eyebrows.

Although she is known as the most powerful seal master in the world, she rarely associates seal with the word "fun".

The small toy that she made to coax Xiao Jiu Xinnai to learn the sealing technique is already the limit of what she can do.

"Then I want to get to know you."

It was rare for Mito to feel a little competitive.
