Chapter 129

Furthermore, that Wood Release which left such a deep impression on the Ninja World had reappeared in the body of Nawaki!

Tsunade was filled with excitement; as long as Nawaki was here, perhaps the Senju could once again restore their past glory!

But soon, Tsunade calmed down, because Nawaki was no longer the Nawaki he once was.

He no longer remembered anything about Konoha, and had even forgotten her, his older sister!

Yet Tsunade always believed that she would definitely be able to bring Nawaki back completely whole!

Although Orochimaru had also said that as long as one went to the Land of Whirlpools, one could obtain the answers they wanted.

But since Nawaki had appeared in Konoha, wouldn't it be fine just to keep him here?

As for memories or whatever, as long as Nawaki was by her side, one day he would remember!

Tsunade's gaze became firm.

At the Senju base, seeing Nawaki suddenly unleash Wood Release, a look of astonishment flashed across Uzumaki Mito's expression.

"Hashirama..."

In a trance, she seemed to see that silly smiling look of Hashirama's.

She chuckled aloud.

"Nawaki, he is simply carved from the same mold as your grandfather."

What Uzumaki Mito was referring to was not his appearance, but that same look of occasionally acting foolish.

"Your Wood Release has finally appeared in the Senju Clan once again..."

But...

The Senju Clan you left behind has already been managed by her into such a state...

At least with Nawaki's appearance, hopefully when she goes to the Pure Land, Hashirama and Tobirama won't blame her...

Although Nawaki, for some reason, had become an enemy of Konoha, the look in Uzumaki Mito's eyes as she watched Nawaki remained filled with kindness and gratification.

"The Senju Clan finally has a successor..."

However...

The Land of Whirlpools has truly changed to the point where even she doesn't recognize it anymore...

This group that suddenly appeared, calling themselves an army of Soul Reapers.

Why are they able to master various magical abilities despite having no Chakra?

Uzumaki Chihiro, what exactly are you researching...

"Hmph..."

A cold snort sounded from the bottom of her heart.

Uzumaki Mito did not panic in the slightest, as if she were already used to this suddenly sounding voice, and said calmly: "What is it, Nine-Tails? What wind blew you awake?"

Ever since becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Nine-Tails was either sleeping every day or on the way to sleeping; it was even lazier than a pig.

The Nine-Tails said angrily: "Hey Mito! I heard all the complaining in your heart! Also, you try being locked in here and see what else you can do besides sleeping!"

Uzumaki Mito gave a faint "Oh," and even though her inner thoughts were heard by the Nine-Tails, she felt not the slightest bit embarrassed—or rather, Uzumaki Mito had said it on purpose for it to hear.

The Nine-Tails gave an unhappy "Tch," then suddenly thought of something and gloated: "Haha Mito, this time your Konoha has really encountered big trouble."

Uzumaki Mito's mood, which had previously been indifferent to the Nine-Tails, suddenly stirred.

She frowned slightly and said: "What do you know?"

The Nine-Tails snorted haughtily, turned its head to the side, and ignored her.

Seeing it in this state, Uzumaki Mito raised an eyebrow and said calmly: "I'll give you one day of the opportunity to share my vision."

The Nine-Tails' ears twitched, but it still didn't speak.

Uzumaki Mito continued: "Three days."

The Nine-Tails' tail moved, but it still didn't speak.

Uzumaki Mito frowned and continued: "Five days."

Hearing five days, the Nine-Tails quietly opened its eyes, tasted the changes in Uzumaki Mito's emotions, and understood that this should be her bottom line.

So the Nine-Tails cleared its throat and said with a grave expression: "In the swords of that group of people, I sensed an existence similar to me!"

Uzumaki Mito's eyes widened instantly, and she said incredulously: "You mean, those Soul Reapers' swords have Tailed Beasts sealed inside them?"

Soul Reapers?

The Nine-Tails muttered this title in its heart, then explained: "No, it's not a Tailed Beast, but an existence similar to us!"

In other words, it is a creature other than a human?

Or rather, an existence similar to a Chakra aggregate?

After all, Tailed Beasts were formed by the gathering of Chakra.

And inside the Soul Reapers' swords, there actually exists something similar to a Tailed Beast?!

"This discovery is truly shocking..."

Uzumaki Mito narrowed her eyes; she seemed to have discovered a significant secret of the Land of Whirlpools.

Could those swords be a form similar to a Jinchuriki?

It had the same effect as sealing a Tailed Beast inside a human body.

The only difference was that the Land of Whirlpools sealed those Tailed Beast-like existences inside swords.

Hiss—

The Land of Whirlpools—no, their Uzumaki Clan—is truly a clan skilled at creating miracles!

This technology, capable of sealing existences like Tailed Beasts into swords, once it flows into the Ninja World, will once again trigger a major revolution in the Ninja World!

And the last time such a revolution occurred was when the Uzumaki Clan researched how to seal the Tailed Beasts, which the Ninja World had no way to deal with, into human bodies, and created Jinchuriki who could borrow their power!

Now, they have actually researched a technology to seal them into swords?!

What is this, a Sword-Jinchuriki?

Uzumaki Mito forced herself to calm down.

At the same time, some of the questions in her heart were suddenly clarified.

No wonder...

No wonder the Land of Whirlpools rose so suddenly and so rapidly!

As long as you seal an existence similar to a Tailed Beast into a sword, and then equip everyone with one.

You can mass-produce powerhouses capable of using all sorts of strange and bizarre abilities!

And this method is indeed very consistent with the Uzumaki Clan's consistent style of doing things.

After all, the Uzumaki Clan has been an expert in researching Sealing Techniques since ancient times!

Case solved!

She had fully understood the principle behind the Land of Whirlpools forging Zanpakuto!

But...

It's useless; the most critical Sealing Technique is firmly controlled by the Land of Whirlpools. Even if others know the principle, they simply cannot manufacture them.

Rather, can this kind of Sealing Technique really be researched?

Even she, someone from the Uzumaki Clan who is proficient in Sealing Techniques, has not the slightest clue about this kind of wild and imaginative Sealing Technique.

"In other words, Nawaki's sword has an existence sealed inside it that can use Wood Release?"

Uzumaki Mito was thoughtful; a new doubt appeared.

Where on earth did the Land of Whirlpools find so many creatures with special abilities?

And, if a creature capable of using Wood Release existed, it's impossible that no one had discovered it until it was found by the Land of Whirlpools, right?

Ah...

Forget it.

Uzumaki Mito shook her head; she was already half-buried in the ground, so let the people of the future worry about these things.

She only hoped that during the time she was still alive, she could re-establish friendly relations between Konoha and the Land of Whirlpools.

Suddenly, she spoke up: "Nine-Tails, what do you think about being sealed into such a sword?"

The Nine-Tails, which was rejoicing at finally being able to see the outside world, was instantly stunned and cursed angrily: "You wretch Mito, you're actually burning bridges!"

Being sealed inside a human body was already stifling enough, but at least it could still chat with the Jinchuriki.

This old witch actually wanted to seal it inside a cold sword?

Then it would really only be able to sleep every day, and it didn't even know what it would be like to be sealed in a sword.

But just thinking about it made it shudder.
