In September of Konoha, the weather is getting colder. In the early morning, Konoha's gate is still surrounded by a thin layer of morning mist. A group of people are walking towards Konoha's gate in the distance of the horizon.

"Hurry up, notify the elders, the third generation of Naruto is back!"

The ninja in charge of the vigilance of Konoha Village quickly confirmed the identity of the group in the distance. The third generation of Hokage who had completed the handover with his three disciples, took his direct subordinate Antetokounmeng and Uzumaki Kuruto back to Konoha Village.

"Here I'm back~"

Not long after, the group came to Konoha's gate.

Although he didn't have much time to go out this time, for some reason, when Jiu Ming saw the familiar Konoha gate in front of him, his heart became calm. He really didn't like the days of outdoor life, and the days he stayed in Yuanmingji were also a bit tormented for him.

"Uzurupo Jiuming, go back by yourself. Don't worry your family."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiu Ming who was feeling emotion, and a smile appeared on his face that was not easy to detect. He waved his hand and signaled that Jiu Ming could leave.

"Sir Naruto, then I will say goodbye first!"

During the period of Guanmingji, Jiu Ming spent more time in medical classes, so he didn't have much chance to meet with the third generation. If you want to talk about any relationship with the third generation of Naruto, it really didn't have it. It was just a few meetings, that's all.

After receiving the instructions from the third generation of Naruto, Kuruma couldn't wait to run into Konoha and then disappeared at the end of the street.

"Go back to the office."

Shortly after Uzumaki Kurimi left, the third generation of Hokage led the Anbu to the Hokage Building. Iwamnin Village's movements were already very big, and the war was getting closer and closer to Konoha. At this time, he needed to start preparing supplies to deal with the possible outbreak of war.

However, war has no effect on Jiu Ming, who is only five years old at the moment. For him, the first thing he did when he returned to Konoha Village was to go home to visit his sister and Mido Grandma. These two people are now people he is hard to give up in this world.

"Grandma Mito, sister, I'm back!"

At the door of the house, Jiu Ming knocked on the door with his hand while shouting inside. After a long time, the tight door was opened, revealing a sleepy face.

"elder sister!"

Looking at Kushina who was coming to open the door, Kumin shouted happily.

"Jiu....Ming?"

"You're finally back!"

Uzumaki Kushina was stunned when she saw Jiu Ming, then rubbed her eyes with her hands, confirmed that the boy standing in front of her was indeed his younger brother, and then screamed and hugged Jiu Ming in her arms.

“………………”

"Yes, I'm back."

Uzumaki Kushina's intense reaction made Kumin a little at a loss, and he was stunned for a while and then said softly.

"Jiuming, let's go, Grandma Mido says if you come back, I'll take you to see her as soon as possible."

Kushina hugged Jiu Ming for a long time, and seemed to suddenly remember something, so she immediately took Jiu Ming's hand and ran towards Mito's room.

“…………”

"I don't care if I'm in danger outside or injured..."

"I'm afraid this sister is fake."

Jiuming was still enjoying Kushina's arms, but suddenly she was pulled away by her, and she was speechless and secretly complained.

Not long after, Kushina pulled him to the door of Mito's room by Kushina. At this time, the door of the room was not closed, but was open. As soon as Kushina and Kushina arrived, the sound of Uzumaki Mito came from the room.

"It's Jiuming who is back, Kushina, let him come in."

After Mizuto finished speaking, Kushina gently stepped back from Jiuming's back and signaled Jiuming to go in. When Kushina arrived at the door of Mizuto's room, her face no longer had the pleasure she had when she saw her brother just now, but instead a hint of sorrow appeared on her face.

"what happened?"

Jiu Ming felt a little strange, but he didn't ask. He looked back at Kushina, crossed the threshold and walked into Mito's room.

"Jiu Ming, you are back, come here and let grandma take a good look."

The room was in poor light, and the surrounding windows seemed to be blocked by something. Only a candle was lit in the dim room. On the tatami in the center of the room, there was a quilt. The slightly bulging quilt indicates that Mito had not yet got up at this time.

The halo of the candle illuminated Mito's face. At this time, she was half-sitting on the bed, and she had just made a single piece of clothing on her body. On Mito's face, she could see deep fatigue.

"Grandma Mito, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

When he was at the door, Jiu Ming couldn't see clearly what was going on in the room. When he walked into the room and his eyes adapted to the light in this place, he saw clearly Mito's condition at this time.

Unlike before, in addition to being deeply tired, Mito's face can also clearly see wrinkles.

"Wrinkles? How is this possible?"

"Grandma Mito, what's wrong with you?"

If it is normal for other elderly people to have wrinkles on their faces when they are in their seventies and eighties, then it is abnormal for Mito to have wrinkles on their faces. Uzumaki Mito, who has mastered the seal of the Yin, has a large number of chakras to maintain her face that is not old. Uzumaki Mito has always looked like she was in her twenties before.

Just looking at the face, it is impossible to tell Mito's real age, but at this time, wrinkles appeared on Mito's face. When Ku Ming saw Mito's appearance clearly, he found that Uzumaki Mito's appearance was already in his forties.

"Don't be nervous, sit down."

Mito knew that Ku Ming was surprised about something, and smiled and patted the tatami beside him, signaling Ku Ming to sit down.

"Grandma, what's going on?" Jiu Ming asked after a little worried.

"Let grandma see, why did she suffer so many injuries after going out?"

"It must be very hard. Even the Yin Seal was opened and encountered a very strong enemy?"

Instead of answering Jiu Ming's words, Uzumaki Mito stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on Jiu Ming's back. The temperature of his palm was transmitted to Jiu Ming's body. Then Uzumaki Mito's hand emitted a faint light, and the wound on Jiu Ming's back was healing quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In Yuanmingji, the ninjas in the medical class just used normal medical methods to deal with Jiu Ming's wounds. In this era, few people knew the serious medical ninjutsu, and those who knew were all in Konoha's comprehensive hospital and would not go to the front line at all.

"I did encounter some trouble, but I got through it smoothly."

"Speaking of it, grandma, what's your face?"

Jiu Ming took it over with a word and then asked about Mito's situation.

"You kid..."

Seeing that Jiu Ming was asking questions about her unyieldingly, Mito could only sigh helplessly. After Jiu Ming's wound completely healed, Mito took back his hand. What Jiu Ming didn't notice was that as Mito performed the medical ninjutsu, there was another wrinkle on her face.

"I'm so anxious to call you over, I'm telling you something. I've already told you about Kushina. Now I want to hear your thoughts."

Mito retracted his hands into the bedding and looked at Jiuming with a serious expression.

"What's the matter? You said." Seeing Mito's expression becoming serious, Jiu Ming straightened his waist and lowered his head slightly and said.

"Do you know why you and your sister came to Konoha back then?"

"The thing I want to say is related to this."

After Mito finished speaking, he paused, and Jiuming's expression froze at this moment, as if he had thought of something. Mito didn't care about the changes in Jiuming's expression and continued to say to himself:

"Jiu Ming, do you know the tailed beast?"

"Tailed beasts are actually monsters composed entirely of chakra. These monsters have huge power and caused great damage to the human world at that time. Therefore, Hashimara and Uchiha Madara joined forces to capture all the tailed beasts."

"In the late Warring States Period, my husband, the first Naruto Chiju Hashirama, was pacifying the troubled times of the Warring States Period, in order to balance the combat effectiveness of several major powers, he collected nine tailed beasts at that time and distributed them to various countries."

"In order to use the power of this tailed beast, various countries sealed the tailed beast on the human body, and the person who sealed the tailed beast on his body is called the Human Zhuli."

When Mito said this, he saw a clear look on Jiu Ming's face.

"With your perception ability, you should have sensed it long ago?"

"We also have Jiriki in Konoha Village, and this guy Jiriki is me."

"A few years ago, I had a premonition that my limit was approaching, so I asked the monkey to send ninjas to the Uzumaki clan to find a suitable host of the tailed beast. Your sister Kushina came to Konoha because of this."

"But I didn't expect that Kushina had a younger brother and brought you to Konoha with her."

"Jiu Ming, your chakra is very similar to your sister, and it has the effect of inhibiting the tailed beast chakra."

"In other words, you, like your sister, have the conditions to become Jijiri."

"Jiu Ming, I know you are very smart, and I have never treated you as an ordinary child. I think with your talent, you should be able to understand what you would face if you become Ji Zhuliu."

"Once you become Jijiriki, you will completely lose your freedom and may never be able to leave the village in your life. Moreover, due to the existence of the tailed beast, you may face continuous assassination from the hostile ninja village. Even the people in the village will regard you as an alien, and their original friends may leave you."

"I ask you, do you want to be Jijiri?"

After Mito finished speaking, he looked at Jiuming quietly, waiting for Jiuming's reply. After hearing Mito's words, Jiuming's heart was already overturned.

"I heard it right? I actually asked if I want to be Jijiriki?"

Uzumaki Kuma's surprise was only a moment, and then he began to think about the purpose of Mito's question at this time.

"Grandma Mito, how long can you seal the tailed beast?"

Jiu Ming did not directly answer Mito's question, he had already considered it. If he wanted to change anything in this world, then he had not changed anything so far. And the Nine-Tailed Tsubasa Riki's choice actually had the opportunity to get him involved. Faced with such an opportunity, Jiu Ming would definitely not let it go easily.

"Hmm? It's just a while ago."

Mito said casually, he didn't know what the child in front of him had in mind.

"I hope I will become the human Zhuriki. If there are many sufferings and dangers for the sealed beast, and it can only be our brother and sister, I hope it is me who will bear these things, not my sister."

Jiu Ming's eyes became firm. Although sealing the Nine Tails meant a risk, Jiu Ming felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to completely change the future pattern.

"Are you? You did not disappoint me. Your sister answered exactly the same as yours."

"It's really a good boy."
