Chapter 173 The Uzumaki Clan is Full of Talents (Subscription Request)
Moonlight star rare
Kaoru helped Kushina back to the room carefully, as if she was supporting a fragile object.

Kushina looked helplessly at the cute blonde girl beside her and said:

"Kaoru, there's no need to do this."

"I'm only two months old now, not seven or eight months."

As someone who has been through it, Kushina already has experience with childbirth and there is no need to be like this.

Not only Xun, but also Jiuxing was the same. She was fed a whole bunch of grapes in just one afternoon.

What are you saying righteously? If you eat more grapes, your child will have especially big eyes in the future?
Where did you hear this?

However, Xun looked at Kushina beside him and said seriously:

"There's a new life growing in your belly. This isn't just Sister Kushina's business."

“And I’m looking forward to it.”

Xun subconsciously touched Kushina's flat belly, as if he was looking at his own child.

"Well, okay then..."

Looking at the serious face of Kaoru in front of her, Kushina was speechless. When she was pregnant with Menma, no one except Minato was as serious as her.

However, the blonde girl in front of her made Kushina feel as if she was seeing the original Minato.

The same serious and solemn expression.

Kushina sat on the bed, staring absentmindedly at the hanging moon in the night sky outside the window.

I don't know how Minato is doing now...

Xun looked at the beautiful red-haired woman in front of him who was thinking of someone while looking at the moon, and couldn't help but hesitate and said:

"Sister Kushina, why don't you give birth to the baby here..."

Back in Konoha, Kushina was alone and Minato Namikaze was imprisoned in the dungeon.

It's okay now, Kushina is only two months old. When she grows up, there will be no one around her. She will have to go through prenatal checkups, do the paperwork, and give birth alone...

As if she could see Kaoru's worry, Kushina pinched Kaoru's face and said with a smile:

"Xun is so gentle..."

"But it's okay."

"Wouldn't there still be Xiangling at that time?"

Kushina has a clear understanding of herself that she is not a delicate and weak woman.

Even if she is alone, she has to take good care of the baby in her belly.

Seeing how strong Kushina was, Xun had no choice but to give up.

next day
Hokage Building
Hokage's Office

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown as he looked at the letter of inquiry in front of him that was once again sent by Dawn.

"Take it down and tell the people at Dawn what you said before."

"Also, don't send me anything like this again in the future."

"All day long, I have to deal with everything."

"What else do you want me to do?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was flat, as if he was just speaking casually.

But these words made the staff in front of him feel their scalps tingle instantly. They took the questioning letter sent by Dawn with some trepidation and left the Hokage's office cautiously.

These few sentences may seem ordinary, but every word is heart-wrenching.

Sarutobi Hiruzen almost pointed at his nose and cursed, "Are you raised just to eat and do nothing?"
As the Hokage, he has to deal with all the trivial matters. If you don't want to take this position, don't do it. There are many people who want to push you out!

The staff walked back with some fear.

He felt that the Sandaime-sama had changed. Although he was a little strict before, he would never be like this.

He was veiled in criticism, without showing his emotions on his face.

A person sitting there, facing him is like facing a sleeping tiger, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored the staff member who left, and now another person came to him.

Anbu Qingluan, Yushou Zixiao.

His right-hand man.

"Qingluan, what's the matter?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the tall man in front of him and asked.

Mitarai Shishao presented a piece of information to Sarutobi Hiruzen and said:

"Hokage-sama."

"There is unusual movement near the Grass Kingdom."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and opened the information in his hand.

The land of grass?
What changes could happen in the Grass Kingdom?
Even the Kusagakure Village was razed to the ground by Kyuuki's Tailed Beast Ball.

Looking at the line of text in his hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows furrowed even more.

There is an enclave in the Grass Kingdom called Ghost Lantern City.

Kizuna Castle is an island located on the sea. This island is where the Kusagakure Village uses to imprison the most heinous criminals and rebellious ninjas from various countries.

This was also the situation when the bipolar trend had not yet formed.

Everyone agreed to stay together and let the Kusagakure Village do this job, which was similar to that of a jailer.

But now that the Kusagakure Village has been destroyed, the situation between the five major countries has become turbulent and has turned into two major forces.

Now the Kusagakure ninjas in Kizuna Castle have escaped the disaster because they are overseas, but because of this, the Kusagakure ninjas in Kizuna Castle have reduced their control over Kizuna Castle due to the destruction of Kusagakure Village.

Now there are many serious criminals who try to rebel against the Kusagakure ninja.

Although these guys can be barely suppressed now with the help of the sealing technique, the Great Fire Prison, it is only a matter of time before riots break out in Ghost Lantern City.

But if that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But now comes the problem.

Ghost Lantern City has an organization similar to the Presbyterian Church.

All of these members are from Kusagakure Village.

These people seem to be planning something recently, and people from Dawn have also begun to appear in Ghost Lantern City intentionally or unintentionally.

This is the most puzzling thing.

Under the current situation in the ninja world, it is almost universally recognized that high-end combat power is above all else.

What is there about these heinous prisoners that is worthy of Dawn's contact?
Or what is there about this remnant of the Grass Village that is worthy of Dawn's contact?
But they are just a bunch of useless people.

However, keeping in mind the mentality of not letting the enemy succeed no matter what they wanted to do, Sarutobi Hiruzen still gave the order:

"Let Namikaze...Hatake Sakumo come over."

After some hesitation, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who originally wanted to let Kaoru come, changed his mind and chose Hatake Sakumo. Although Namikaze Kaoru was excellent, he was still too young.

Hatake Sakumo is a mature, steady person who is reliable, experienced, and trustworthy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very relieved to let him carry out the mission.

And this time, the mission reveals a hint of weirdness.

Why Dawn would set his sights on this remote place is also something that Sarutobi Hiruzen should ponder deeply.

Is there anything in Kusagakure that is worth Dawn's attention?

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know all of this, but he sent Hatake Sakumo to find out the root of everything.

—

The sky gradually darkened, the autumn wind was bleak, and the fallen leaves were blown away by the wind.

Withered and yellow broken leaves are scattered all over the ground, and when the autumn wind blows, they float all over the sky.

Jiu Xing stood under the tree, looking at the ninja students walking in groups of three or four in the ninja school in front of him.

Seeing a glimpse of white in the crowd, Jiu Xing waved to him and shouted:

"Kakashi!"

Jiu Xing's voice penetrated the scattered crowd and fell into Kakashi's ears.

Kakashi, who had originally had a calm expression, couldn't help but look bitter as he looked at the guy under the tree in front of him.

"Eh?"

"Brother Maru!"

Nohara Lin, who was walking next to Kakashi, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and greeted Jiu Xing.

Brother Maru?

What the hell is this nickname?

"Girl, do you get a nickname based on what someone treats you to a meal?"

Jiuxing came up to the two of them and looked at the little loli Lin in front of him and rubbed her head unhappily. Lin's neat short brown hair also became messy under Jiuxing's hands.

"Eh?"

"Really annoying."

Lin broke free from Jiu Xing's clutches and quickly ran to the side to fix her hair.

"Who told you to give me a nickname?"

Jiu Xing looked at Lolilin in front of him and poked her forehead with a smile.

Even though Lin tried her best to dodge, the finger landed steadily on her fair forehead.

"Hmph, I won't pay attention to you. Goodbye Kakashi!"

Lolilin puffed up her cheeks, said goodbye to Kakashi, and ran away quickly.

"Ah, so why did you come to pick me up again?"

Kakashi, who had been silent all this time, looked at Jiu Xing in front of him with a wicked smile and said unhappily.

Although he had a vague guess in his heart, Kakashi still asked this question.

"Because the teacher has to go out of the village for a mission, I will be the one taking care of you for the next few days."

"Are you excited to see your dear brother Jiu Xing?"

Jiu Xing played with Kakashi's white fur with one hand and put the other hand on Kakashi's shoulder, and spoke with interest.

"No, I just feel bad luck."

Kakashi looked at Jiu Xing with his dead fish eyes and walked forward.

However, the direction he was heading was not towards the Hatake family, but the Uzumaki family.

Obviously, he also knew that facing Jiu Xing, he could only endure it silently.

The Uzumaki residence was exceptionally lively today. Normally, there were only Jiu Xing and Xun here, but today there were seven people.

When Jiuxing brought Kakashi back home, they found a group of people gathered around the coffee table discussing something.

The fruit plate on the coffee table had been cleared out, replaced by scrolls and simple drawings of sealing arrays.

"If the chakra becomes unstable even a little bit, it will easily cause the sealing formation to collapse. The amount of chakra is also a problem."

Xun was writing and drawing something on the paper with a black pencil.

"As for the amount of chakra, if Menma and Kyuuki can provide it together, it should be possible."

Kushina said thoughtfully as she sat sipping her tea.

"Tsk, who wants to cooperate with that guy?"

Perhaps because Uchiha Sasuke was right next to him, Uzumaki Menma's temper had calmed down a lot.

"Eh?"

"What are you talking about?"

Jiu Xing pulled Kakashi in front of the group and spoke curiously.

"It's because Xiangling felt that if we need to keep in touch with Konoha over there, it would be too troublesome to keep going back and forth between the Wind Country and the Fire Country."

"Besides, the Wind Country belongs to Dawn's territory, so it's easy to run into danger."

"Can we directly move Loulan, including its underground dragon vein, here?"

Xun took the sealing magic circle he had just completed in his hand and brought it to Jiuxing and said with a smile.

"You guys are really imaginative enough to just move the Loulan dragon vein here."

Jiu Xing took the sealing magic circle handed to him by Xun with a smile, but after just one glance, he was stunned.

Using the Uzumaki clan's sealing formation as the foundation, the Flying Thunder God Seal was spread all over Loulan's corners, and a huge open space was also dug out near Konoha and covered with the Flying Thunder God Seal.

Then, he directly used the Flying Thunder God lightning guide developed by Xun independently to carry out teleportation over a very large range and very long distance.

This is a bunch of talented people...

Jiu Xing himself is also an expert in sealing techniques, and he saw at a glance the feasibility of this seemingly incredible plan.

He looked at the people in front of him, Uzumaki Kushina, Uzumaki Menma, Uzumaki Karing, Uzumaki Kaoru…

Well, Xun will have my last name sooner or later anyway, so there's nothing wrong with calling her Uzumaki.

My Great Whirlpool clan is really full of talented people...

With so many masters of sealing techniques gathered together, he created such a shocking thing in just the time it took to pick up a child.

If this thing is developed, does it mean that a time and space tunnel is directly established?
Moreover, there is a cross-dimensional space-time teleportation array on the dragon vein itself.

This thing is worth doing.
