Chapter 15 Mito Uzumaki's Curiosity
"Ouch...it hurts, it hurts so much!"
This was a crushing defeat.
Although Kushina Uzumaki is very strong, possessing incredible strength that allows her to swing and smash people her own age, and even capable of killing a formal genin when enraged.
But compared to Gojo Yoru, he was still too inexperienced.
He possessed superhuman strength but lacked any strategy or method, attacking in a straightforward manner, as if reminding his opponent what he was about to do.
Gojo Yoru didn't even need to use speed to overwhelm her or reaction speed to dodge; he simply used the technique of side-blocking to deflect all of Kushina Uzumaki's attacks, and then gave the round-faced girl a good beating without any mercy.
Soon after, Kushina Uzumaki, with a few bruises on her face but still undeniably adorable, collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
"You're so weak. Didn't you say you were good at fighting?" Gojo Yoru mocked from above, a smile on his face that he himself seemed unaware of.
"Hmph, don't be so arrogant. I was just careless." Kushina Uzumaki covered her bruised face and shouted indignantly.
"I hope your body is as tough as your mouth."
Gojo Yoru smiled dismissively, then squatted down in front of Uzumaki Kushina and said in a firm tone, "Put your hands down."
"What...what are you going to do?"
Under the girl's wide-eyed, blushing gaze, seemingly lost in thought, Gojo Yoru stretched out her palm, which was suddenly covered by a ball of green light.
His palm stopped next to Kushina Uzumaki's small face, less than two centimeters away, and then a gentle warm current, like a hot towel, covered Kushina Uzumaki's small face.
The swelling and slight pain disappeared quickly.
With her dark blue eyes peering through the green light screen at Gojo Yoru's serious expression, Kushina Uzumaki suddenly felt her heart pounding.
Even though the pain quickly subsided, she felt her face become even redder.
"……alright."
As if oblivious to Kushina's expression, Gojo Yoru used the most basic medical techniques to heal the injuries on her face before getting up and leaving with his hands in his pockets.
Coming to her senses, Kushina Uzumaki quickly got up and followed.
This time, instead of following behind Gojo Yoru, she walked up to him, shoulder to shoulder, and mustered her courage to ask, "Would you say we became friends after a fight?"
"No, that's just one-sided abuse," Gojo Yoru said coolly.
Kushina Uzumaki, who was about to say something, suddenly changed her expression and said angrily, "I already told you, I was just careless. Besides, I haven't eaten anything today, I'm so hungry I have no strength or energy at all. If you're so capable, let's fight again tomorrow, I definitely won't lose this time!"
Gojo Yoru didn't say anything upon hearing this, but simply turned his head and gave Uzumaki Kushina a contemptuous smile, as if to say, "You think you can do this?"
Kushina Uzumaki, tilting her head back, yelled at Yoru Gojo, who was almost a head taller than her, "So, dare to fight? You're not scared, are you?"
Her provocation was very successful. Gojo Yoru sneered, "I hope you won't be crying tomorrow."
"That's what I said."
Just like Naruto Uzumaki in his reckless period in the original story, Kushina Uzumaki always tried to build up her momentum, regardless of whether she could win or not.
After leaving the woods, Gojo Yoru didn't immediately return to school. Instead, he went to a shop outside the school and bought some bread.
He casually tossed a loaf of bread to Kushina Uzumaki, and without saying a word, Yoru Gojo headed towards the school.
Kushina Uzumaki, who received the bread, was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears. As she watched Yoru Gojo's retreating figure, her affection for him surged wildly.
This guy is indeed cold on the outside but warm on the inside!
With an uncontrollable smile playing on her lips, Kushina Uzumaki tore open the bread bag as she followed.
The two of them didn't say a word, they just ate their bread.
This lunch was extremely meager compared to those students who brought their own lunches to school.
But Kushina Uzumaki ate with great pleasure.
Minato Namikaze, who was secretly watching the two from the shadows, was filled with envy at this scene.
If he had acted faster than Gojo Yoru, would he be the one standing next to Uzumaki Kushina now?
……
After the Senju clan merged into Konoha, they dismantled the high walls that surrounded their clan's territory. Over the years, the once vast clan territory has long since become part of Konoha.
Currently, the only thing that can represent the Senju clan is a traditional building, where the strongest ninja of Konoha resides. It is also the home of Tsunade and Nawaki, and the place where Kushina Uzumaki temporarily stays.
Tsunade, who works at Konoha Hospital, had just returned home when she heard the sounds of fighting coming from the courtyard.
When she arrived at Ruyuan, the first thing she saw was Mito Uzumaki sitting in a chair with a blanket covering her legs.
At this point, Mito Uzumaki showed no signs of having only one or two years left to live.
Despite possessing the Yin Seal, she still exudes an air of profound mystery.
Moreover, as a perfect Jinchuriki, she is now truly the strongest person in Konoha, and even in the entire ninja world.
After all, Madara Uchiha is now old and doesn't have the Rinnegan anymore.
Walking up to Mito Uzumaki, Tsunade watched Kushina and Nawaki engaged in a taijutsu duel and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandmother, how did you comfort Kushina? Why is she so different today compared to yesterday?"
Mito Uzumaki smiled and said, "She met a good boy."
"Oh right, she went to the ninja academy today. Did she make some friends?" Tsunade exclaimed, then became interested. "She's like a completely different person in less than a day, so eager to spar with Nawaki. Is her friend a boy or a girl?"
"He's a very good boy," Mito Uzumaki gave him a very high evaluation.
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi paid close attention to Kushina Uzumaki's first day of school, Mito Uzumaki did the same.
Although she didn't possess the Crystal Vision Technique, after the Second Hokage's death, in terms of sensory abilities, no one in the entire ninja world could compare to Mito Uzumaki, who had mastered Kagura's Mind's Eye and also fused with the Nine-Tails' sense of good and evil.
Children are the easiest to distinguish between good and evil.
Mito Uzumaki noticed the malice her classmates harbored towards Kushina Uzumaki, an outsider, as well as the affection that Minato Namikaze and Yoru Gojo had for her.
Of all the people that Mito Uzumaki valued most, it was naturally Gojo Yoru.
She sensed a very peculiar chakra fluctuation emanating from this child.
That was an energy that ordinary perception couldn't capture at all; even she could barely 'see' it.
It was a kind of chakra that was somewhat similar to her husband's Sage Mode chakra, yet completely different, more like the nature transformations of bloodline limits such as Lava Release and Ice Release.
However, those who possess bloodline limits can only transform their chakra into that nature change when performing techniques.
The energy within this child's body, like Sage Chakra, is separated within the body.
That special chakra wasn't secreted from the brain, which means it wasn't Yin Release chakra. Could it be a special Yang Release type bloodline limit?
Mito Uzumaki was a little curious, but she didn't intend to investigate further.
Her sense of good and evil didn't lie; all she knew was that Gojo Yoru had no ill intentions towards Uzumaki Kushina, only goodwill.
Moreover, her time was running out, and Mito Uzumaki only wanted to spend her last moments with her family and clan.
Tsunade, of course, had no idea what her grandmother was thinking.
Upon hearing that the person who changed Kushina Uzumaki was a boy, Tsunade couldn't help but reveal a gossipy smile. She then rolled up her sleeves and said, "No wonder she's been training so hard. It seems she's encountered a formidable competitor. Let me give her a hand."
After saying that, Tsunade walked over and gave instructions to Kushina Uzumaki and Nawaki.
