Chapter 32: Meeting with Mito
Fukuyo finally put Kushina down at the entrance of the Senju family home; otherwise, he felt something was off.
I have this feeling that I'm not safe outside, Old Deng.
If the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, were still alive, all I would need to do is step through this door.
You'll definitely hear Tobirama gritting his teeth behind you.
The label of "born evil Uchiha brat" will inevitably be pinned on him.
Thankfully, he's dead, and Kushina had nothing to do with that old man.
Upon entering the Senju mansion, Fushiko was not nervous; on the contrary, Kushina became nervous.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner that Grandma invited you here?" Kushina was so anxious that she was almost sweating.
"Who told you to sleep like a log?" Fukuyo spread his hands, comforting Kushina instead.
"It's just a meal. With Brother Shengshu putting in a good word for me, your grandma definitely won't make things difficult for me."
"It's all covered!" Rope Tree raised his chin, looking like he was ready to go to great lengths for his brother.
Kushina's nervousness eased slightly, but she still stubbornly insisted, "I wasn't nervous, it was just too sudden."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Fushiko followed Nawaki and Kushina through the corridor and into the living room, where they saw a beautiful red-haired woman sitting in a chair.
Her red hair was tied up in a neat bun, with a few strands falling around her temples and neck, adding a touch of casualness.
The red-haired beauty leaned languidly against the edge of the chair, her figure voluptuous, her brows and eyes bearing the mature charm of years, her eyes half-closed and half-drooping, carrying a faint weariness.
It's counterintuitive, but that's the Yin Seal. Mito, who's over fifty, actually looks much prettier than Tsunade at this moment.
It's not that he's bad-looking, but for Fu Heiyao, the red hair adds a lot to his appeal.
"Kid, let me out now, and I'll give you a memory of your battle with a top-tier cursed spirit."
Su Nuo's voice came from the depths of Fu Heiyao's heart.
He had woken up as early as when Fu Heiyao was carrying that human girl on his back. He was about to make a few sarcastic remarks to the brat when he sensed an excessive amount of negative emotions from the outside world.
This is no longer about perception; it's about hatred accumulating and squeezing into the seal.
Moreover, Su Nu was very familiar with this negative emotion; it was the vortex curse from two years ago.
"Give me a video of Yamata no Orochi, or forget it."
I don't know much about Yamata no Orochi, but I did reveal a few words about it during Sukuna's battle against Makura.
Having abilities similar to those of the Demon Void, Fu Heiyao simply chose it.
"You brat!"
Fu Heiya sensed the cluster of cursed energy within the cracks of the sealed gate and released Su Nuo's cursed energy perception.
This was a verbal agreement he made with Su Nuo, in which Su Nuo could use his battle memories to ask Fu Heiyao to take him to see things he wanted to see.
Of course, since it was a verbal promise, the right of interpretation rests with Fu Heiyao.
However, if he comes across something new and interesting, Su Nuo doesn't mind giving a small reward.
"The source of the vortex curse isn't this woman. What's going on in this world?"
A moment later, Su Nuo's voice came through, filled with doubt.
After getting up close, Su Nuo finally noticed something.
"That's a different price."
"Memories of the battle with Gojo Satoru."
"Should we add Spatial Slash?" Fu Heiyao's eyes lit up.
"Stop daydreaming!" Su Nuo mocked Fu Heiyao's ugly face.
However, Fukuyo didn't care. After Sukuna's battle memories were recorded, he began to explain the existence of the Nine-Tails.
However, he still held back and didn't reveal everything.
After all, the origin of the Nine-Tails is related to the world's greatest secret, and Fukuko believes that he can use this to blackmail Sukuna a few more times in the future.
"Immortal and indestructible, capable of causing the heavens and earth to collapse at will, known as the embodiment of hatred." Su Nuo exclaimed, "There are actually such creatures? No wonder I'm fascinated by them."
"You said earlier that killing the Nine-Tails would make you unique. What did you mean by that?" Fukuko asked, recalling Sukuna's attitude when he first met Kushina.
"A feeling," Su Nuo said after a moment of contemplation, "If I can kill him, I can take his place and claim the enormous curse within him as my own."
Fu Heiyao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, his heart filled with shock. Su Nuo's words had truly surprised him.
Kill the Nine-Tails and plunder the negative emotions accumulated within him.
At first glance, it seems like a useless idea, since with the Nine-Tails' power level, killing him is almost impossible, even if he were to defeat Sukuna completely.
However, there is a lot of room for actual operation.
Sukuna's understanding was limited; he only knew that the Nine-Tails was an embodiment of hatred, but Fukuko knew the truth.
Negative emotions are merely impurities attached to the Nine-Tails' chakra; even if they disappear, they will have no effect on the Nine-Tails.
If Sukuna only wanted to kill and replace the negative emotions that had accumulated within Kurama...
Fushiko could have waited until Kushina became a Jinchuriki before attempting to steal these negative emotions and continuously purify the Nine-Tails, perhaps even returning it to its original pure form.
At that time, the relatively benevolent Nine-Tails might be able to get Kushina into the Kurama Link Chakra Mode.
Fu Heiyao's thoughts began to wander.
"Is that Yao?" Suddenly, a mature female voice rang out.
Seeing that Fushiko was in a daze, Kushina whispered "idiot," and when he still didn't react, she immediately elbowed him to remind him.
"Hello, Grandma, my name is Fu Heiyao."
While greeting him, Fukuyo used Sukuna's curse power to sense the strongest ninja in the world.
"Incredible, truly incredible! His pure physical abilities surpass even the Heavenly Curse!" Su Nu's eyes gleamed with excitement. "So this is the strength of the new world? Worthy of being killed!"
In close proximity, Fu Heiyao saw things he had never seen before.
For example, the enormous chakra accumulated within Mito's body and her incredibly powerful physical attributes.
Going any deeper, you can't see anything anymore. Mito's sealing technique is incredibly powerful; even though Fukuyo knows that the Nine-Tails is sealed inside her, he still can't sense it.
This shows how severely the Nine-Tails was sealed and suppressed; it probably couldn't even catch its breath normally.
Furthermore, considering the original storyline where Naruto was able to forcibly extract the Nine-Tails' chakra and enter chakra mode,
Fukuyo guessed that Mito, who could overwhelm the Nine-Tails, could probably do the same.
In other words, the beautiful woman in front of him, whose physical abilities were so strong that she could withstand his slashes and then kill him with a single punch, could still unleash her power.
Fu Heiyao seriously doubted that the red-haired beauty in front of him could really fight to the death, even dragging the age spots without the Rinnegan with her.
"No wonder there are no White Zetsu under Konoha in this era," Fu Heiyao thought to himself.
As Fukuyo stared intently at Mito, Mito was also sensing Fukuyo through Kagura's Mind's Eye.
This wasn't the first time he had sensed Fu Heiyao, but this was definitely the first time he had been this close.
"Such bright eyes!"
Mito's first impression of Fushiko was his eyes.
Generally speaking, the eyes reflect a person's heart and spirit.
Whether perceived or seen with one's own eyes, Fu Heiyao's eyes were like the morning star in the dark night, incredibly bright.
Mito, who had lived through the Warring States period, had witnessed many powerful members of the Uchiha clan.
The most distinctive feature of those powerful Uchiha clan members was their eyes.
Even if an Uchiha who has awakened the Sharingan doesn't activate it, their eyes will become extremely bright in everyday life.
Mito's most vivid memory is of Uchiha Madara, whom she met when she was young, led by her husband Hashirama.
Those bright, piercing eyes remain unforgettable for Mito to this day.
According to her husband, Hashirama, that was a sign of extremely powerful pupils.
After that came the immense chakra of his Yin-Yang Release technique, which was out of balance.
Mito was alarmed by the "pollution" of similar negative emotions accumulating in her body.
What surprised Mito even more was Fukuyo's condition. His powerful spirit was contained in such a frail body, yet the child was still alive and kicking.
During their brief meeting, the two gained a deep understanding of each other without knowing anything about each other, and both felt that there were many unexpected things about the other.
"I've heard Kushina talking about you for a long time, and you really are a handsome young man." Mito ruffled Fushiko's hair.
"Grandma, my Rasengan was taught by You, you should thank him properly."
Upon hearing this, Mito immediately smiled with satisfaction.
"No wonder, I was wondering why my usually clumsy grandson always spoke so highly of others. It turns out he'd learned their ninjutsu."
"grandmother!"
Rope Tree, who is usually lively, carefree, and without a care in the world, seemed to have had his most sensitive soft spot touched by those words.
Her cheeks flushed bright red instantly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment and anger.
"Alright, alright," Mito reached out to comfort Nawaki, then looked at Fushiko and Kushina, speaking gently.
"It's getting late, let's eat first."
