The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 343 Trust

Naruto's family.

Naruto sat alone at the dining table, lost in thought.

For him, although the Nine-Tails brought him many bad memories during his childhood.

But that has nothing to do with the Nine-Tails itself.

"Eat your food, what are you daydreaming about?"

Kushina gently tapped her son.

Naruto snapped out of his daze and asked curiously, "Mom, do you hate Kurama?"

Kushina thought for a moment before speaking, "That depends on how you see the Nine-Tails."

Naruto paused for a moment before replying, "Tailed Beasts?"

Kushina smiled and picked up a shrimp for Naruto:

“Let’s talk while we eat. Since you consider him a tailed beast, then you are a jinchūriki.”

"Even if Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts cannot communicate with each other, it is best for them to coexist peacefully."

"When Mom sealed the Nine-Tails back then, no one targeted her."

"The root cause of the bullying you suffered as a child lies with Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"The Nine-Tails' rampage back then was caused by Obito releasing it."

"The Nine-Tails, as an independent individual, does not want to go back to the Jinchuriki's body to be imprisoned."

“We imprisoned him simply to use his power to protect the village. No one is wrong; we just have different perspectives.”

"Although both my parents died from the Nine-Tailed Fox's claws, Obito bears the greatest responsibility for this."

"Minato and I don't have that much resentment towards Kurama, and even if we did, it has nothing to do with you."

Kushina's situation wasn't easy either; in reality, her feelings for Kurama weren't as she claimed.

However, she had seen visions of the future and knew that Naruto would become friends with Kurama.

Therefore, he didn't want to pass on these grudges to Naruto.

After all, Kurama will be Naruto's greatest asset in the future, so he said that on purpose.

Naruto nodded thoughtfully: "Mom, I think Kurama is pretty good. I want to be his friend."

Kushina laughed and said, "That would be perfect. You are a Jinchuriki, so you are inseparable from the Tailed Beast. There's nothing wrong with being friends with it."

Naruto looked at his stomach and said somewhat dejectedly:

"They've already separated; Nine Lamas has been captured."

Kushina chuckled inwardly, but didn't tell Naruto the truth for the time being.

"It's alright, we can find Nine-Ra Master later."

"After all, not many people want to be friends with the Nine Lamas."

Naruto shook his head:

“It would be better if Nine Lama could be free. I’m just worried that he might not be having a good time now that he’s imprisoned.”

Kushina reached out and patted her son's head: "Alright, there are things you can't change for now."

"Just focus on your cultivation, and you can change these things when you grow up."

Naruto nodded vigorously: "I understand, Mom."

Kushina thought for a moment, then said, "The Hyuga clan has encountered some accidents."

After Naruto returned, he never left the house and had no idea about the coup in the Hyuga branch family.

So he simply asked curiously, "What kind of accident was it?"

Kushina sighed, thinking of the little girl who was always by Naruto's side.

Hinata's father has passed away.

Naruto paused for a moment, then said, "Ah, Mom, you mean Hiashi-senpai?"

He didn't know Hiashi, he only knew that he was Hinata's father.

Kushina replied, "That's right. Apart from Hiashi, everyone else in the main family is dead."

Naruto's eyes widened. He was quite familiar with Hinata, and he knew roughly how many people were in Hinata's main family.

"What?! What happened? Is Hinata alright?"

Naruto subconsciously began to worry about Hinata.

Kushina shook her head: "Chiyo has already taken Hinata and Hanabi to the Uchiha clan's territory."

"Hinata will probably live in the Uchiha clan from now on."

"As for what happened, you don't need to know."

"I'm telling you this so you'll take better care of Hinata in the future."

……

Uchiha clan.

After hearing about the Chiyo Plan, Tsunade had other concerns.

"If they all leave Konoha, won't our Konoha's strength be greatly reduced?"

Qianyao laughed and said, "Are you worried that other ninja villages will gang up on us?"

Tsunade responded.

This attack by Chiyo has had a very wide reach; Konoha's core strength will be reduced by at least half.

Such a good opportunity would not be missed by any ninja village.

Chiyo waved to Tsunade, signaling her to follow him.

Tsunade was somewhat puzzled, but she still followed Chiyo down.

After turning through several passages, he was somewhat surprised to see two figures in front of him exchanging blows using physical techniques.

There was also a woman with blue-gray hair standing to the side watching.

"Konan!? Could the other two be Yahiko and Nagato?"

Although Tsunade didn't pay much attention to outside intelligence, she still managed to find out more about the Akatsuki organization after they made several moves.

It has been largely confirmed that the Akatsuki organization was founded by several disciples whom Jiraiya had taken in back then.

She could vaguely see the shadows of Nagato and Yahiko from the hair color of the three people.

Yahiko and Nagato stopped fighting. They exchanged glances with Konan and Chiyo, and then greeted Tsunade.

"Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade asked in surprise, "What are you all doing here!?"

Before Xiao Nan and the others could speak, Qian Yao clapped his hands: "They are our allies."

Tsunade was stunned for a long time: "So, Zenku..."

"They are also one of ours."

Qian Yao laughed, indicating that he had no intention of revealing the matter of his clone.

After all, the fewer people who know about an alias, the better.

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, Konoha is much safer."

The Akatsuki organization is now quite well-known, especially Sasori and Konan, who are both very well-suited for battlefield combat.

Not to mention Nagato, who also has the Rinnegan.

Chiyo's action could be considered a sign of trust, and Tsunade, seeing that Chiyo was prepared, felt relieved.

However, Qianyao wasn't satisfied and revealed a bombshell: "The same goes for Yagura Karatachi."

Tsunade was somewhat surprised: "You're not in a cooperative relationship?"

Qianyao shook his head: "Kujiya Yagura is one of my people."

Tsunade looked Qianyao up and down, only to realize that this seemed to be the first time she had ever met him.

But just as she was about to say something...

A girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old ran in from the upper floor.

Grabbing Qianyao's hand and shaking it, he said:

"Master! Hinata and Hanabi are awake! They've been crying, but I've finally calmed them down!"

Qianyao could tell that Xianglin was trying to take credit, so he complimented her, saying, "Okay, thanks to you. Where are they now?"

Karin smiled sheepishly; in truth, she hadn't done much.

Chiyo praised her earnestly, making Karin a little embarrassed.

She quickly said, "Hinata said she wants to see you."

"Okay, you go home first, I'll be right there." Qianyao reached out and touched Xianglin's hair.

"Hehe, Master, I'm off!" Karin left with light steps.

She was clearly happy to be able to help Qianyao.

Chiyo turned to Tsunade and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I need to take care of Hinata's matter."

Tsunade quickly called out to Chiyo: "What happened to the Hyuga clan?"

Chiyo turned around and said, "In the Hyuga branch family coup, everyone in the main family except Hinata and Hanabi was killed."

"Hiss..." Tsunade also gasped.

So many things happened today.

"You can go back now. Proceed according to plan tomorrow."
