"Kushina."

Kiyoshi looked at the person who had come.

Kushina had a hair clip in her hair, wore a white jacket with red swirl patterns on the shoulders, and a fitted short skirt that revealed her smooth and delicate long legs.

It's clear that Kushina has an excellent figure, with a graceful and exquisite physique.

Moreover, she exudes a vibrant and energetic aura, giving off a youthful and energetic vibe.

"Were you away on a mission recently?"

Kushina parted her red lips slightly.

"I went to the Land of Rain to carry out a mission."

Kiyoshi casually exchanged pleasantries with Kushina.

"Kiyoshi, you're here so early."

Behind Kushina walked a gentle-looking young man, none other than Minato Namikaze.

"Lord Minato is going on a mission this time as well?"

"That's right, this operation is of great importance, so it is a team of four Jonin."

Namikaze water gate.

"Who is the other person?"

Qingsi asked.

"It's me, Kiyoshi-kun!"

Matt Day walked over on his hands, muttering things like "self-discipline."

"Dai has been promoted to Jonin?"

Qingsi spoke.

“We all underestimated Dai’s strength in the past. He was able to open the final gate of the Eight Gates Formation. Now is a special time, so he is being promoted to Jonin as an exception.”

Namikaze Minato explained.

"Is that so?"

Qingsi nodded.

This is normal. During wartime, special policies are naturally required, and all capabilities must be subordinated to military force.

Among ninjas, it's all about who has the bigger fist.

Especially now, when there is a severe shortage of manpower.

"Hey, everyone's here so early."

After everyone had arrived, Tsunade slowly walked over.

"You're late, Lady Tsunade."

Qing Si spoke frankly and without reservation.

Minato Namikaze scratched his head and smiled.

Kiyoshi really has guts.

Even Jiraiya wouldn't dare speak to Tsunade like that.

"Ahem, I was delayed on the way, you know."

Tsunade rubbed her index finger and thumb together to make a money gesture.

"you lose?"

"What do you mean by losing? Can you call my business a loss? I'm just trying my luck."

Tsunade's womanly face was now serious as she explained to Kiyoshi:

"I usually have better luck when I do something after I've lost."

Tsunade has figured out a pattern in her condition.

"Makes sense."

Qing Si largely agreed.

Tsunade is a gambler who always loses. Whenever she wins big through her own abilities, it means she's about to suffer a major setback.

"Hey, you actually believe that? You can't stand to see me win?"

Tsunade stood on tiptoe and put her arm around Kiyoshi's shoulder, then gently tapped Kiyoshi's forehead with her finger.

The full curves of her slender waist swayed incessantly before Qing Si's eyes, almost completely obscuring his vision, plunging him into a deep abyss.

"Kiyoshi and Lady Tsunade have such a good relationship."

Minato Namikaze's unexpected incident.

I saw Kiyoshi and Tsunade at the Third Training Ground last time, and I didn't expect their relationship to be this good.

After all, Tsunade is the granddaughter of the God of Shinobi, the princess of the Senju clan, a top medical ninja, the student of the Third Hokage, and one of the legendary Sannin.

She was surrounded by a dazzling aura, and almost no one dared to joke around in front of her.

Only Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who were from the same period, had a good relationship with Tsunade.

"Well, it's probably because Kiyoshi is better."

Kushina frowned as she thought of an answer.

She had always had a good impression of Kiyoshi.

"Kiyoshi, have you grown taller again?"

Kushina stepped over and measured the height difference with her hand.

"Yes, it's a little longer."

Kiyoshi said, bending slightly over due to gravity.

Tsunade straightened her back only after letting go.

While the group exchanged brief pleasantries, the Nine-Tails within Kushina suddenly opened its eyes.

In the dimly lit cage, a crimson light opened.

"This feeling... is the Six Paths... no, it's not."

The Nine-Tails can barely sense the outside world through Kushina, so if the Jinchūriki is in danger, the Tailed Beast will know immediately.

In Kurama's perception, a group of natural energies spontaneously surged from afar, guarding a cold, ominous, yet enormous mass of chakra.

This affinity for natural energy was something Nine-Tails had only seen in the Sage of Six Paths.

It is said that when the Sage of Six Paths entered the Toad Kingdom, he learned the so-called "immortal arts" in the blink of an eye.

He had a deep impression of the Sage of Six Paths during his childhood.

This memory has been passed down to the present day, thousands of years later.

"Is it because they are descendants of Indra?"

Nine-Tailed Secret Passage.

He once lent his power to Ashura, the second son of the Sage of Six Paths, to fight against his eldest son, Indra.

Indra, in his pursuit of power, has fallen into the Asura realm.

Uchiha Seiji... this guy is clearly on the same side as Indra.

"Could it be... that he is the reincarnation of Indra?"

A terrifying thought arose in Kurama's mind.

Over the past few thousand years, he has witnessed the reincarnations of these two brothers fighting each other for thousands of years.

It may not happen in every era, but it will definitely happen.

"Hmph, the new vessel that holds me, I hope you will pay more attention to that Uchiha. This is my advice to you."

Suddenly, the Nine-Tailed Fox opened its mouth and spoke in the mental space.

He could sense the malice emanating from Qing Siyi.

"Stop talking badly about Kiyoshi."

Kushina suddenly frowned.

The Nine-Tails repeatedly tried to possess her body, and would rampage as soon as she left the barrier.

She wouldn't believe a single word of the Nine-Tailed Fox's seductive words.

"..."

Nine-Tails slowly closed his eyes, his eyes filled with restlessness and hatred.

These humans have imprisoned him here.

Since that's the case, he'd like to see what Kushina's future holds.

"Kushina?"

Minato Namikaze noticed that Kushina's chakra seemed to have fluctuated slightly just now.

As a ninja with strong sensory abilities, he was very sensitive to this.

"nothing."

Kushina forced a smile.

It seems that I cannot neglect my training in sealing techniques.

The nine-tailed fox would always find opportunities to bewitch her, whether there was a reason or not.

"Alright, that's enough catching up, let's go!"

Tsunade waved her hand.

After completing the final checks, the group headed out of the village.

Kushina waved goodbye.

She just happened to be passing by to say goodbye to Minato Namikaze and Kiyoshi.

……

A few days later.

The group continued on their journey.

Although the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are very close, they do not border each other.

There are only three ways to get to the Land of Wind: either through the Land of Rain or the Land of Rivers.

Alternatively, one could take a boat and travel by sea to the Land of Winds.

Kiyoshi and his group are traveling along the river route this time.

The terrain here is full of towering loess canyons, and the environment is almost as harsh as the Land of Wind.

These small countries, like the Land of Rain, serve as buffer zones between large countries.

If the land becomes fertile and rich, it will likely be invaded by the Land of Wind in no time.

After all, their First Kazekage was a ruthless man who dared to ask for land but not tailed beasts in front of all the other five Kage.

"No matter how many times I come here, it's still so hot."

Tsunade fanned herself with her hand, and a few beads of sweat slid down her fair neck until they disappeared into the unseen cleavage.

They finally crossed the land of rivers and reached the land of winds.

"We should set up camp now, Lady Tsunade."

Kiyoshi glanced at the sky, which was beginning to darken.

The desert nights in the Land of Wind are extremely cold.

There are no clouds here, the atmosphere is almost devoid of moisture, and there are few rivers, oceans, or forests, making it impossible to retain the heat emitted by the sun during the day.
