Mito Uzumaki, whose Nine-Tails was extracted, did not die immediately, but became extremely weak. It has to be said that the Uzumaki clan's physique is truly amazing, and it is exceptionally good for sealing tailed beasts.
"Chi, little Chiyu," Mito Uzumaki waved to Chiyu, but even as she was about to leave, she couldn't bear to part with her little grandson.
Qianyu knew that his grandmother was dying, and he came to the bedside with tears in his eyes.
Seeing this, Tianqi waved to the people in the cave and left, leaving his last moments with the grandfather and grandson.
“Brother Sarutobi has completed the Nine-Tails transfer. You should send little Kushina back first. Let my son and I spend her last moments with her!” Tianqi said to everyone, glancing back at Mito Uzumaki lying on the bed.
"Uncle, I also want to stay by Mito-sama's side, I..."
Before Kushina Uzumaki could finish speaking, Tianqi interrupted her, "Alright, little Kushina, you've just sealed that fox, so you must still be a little unaccustomed to it. Go back and get used to it first. I'm here here, that's enough. Be a good girl."
This scene is not suitable for Kushina, the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, to watch. Although the Four Symbols Seal is perfect, Kushina is still young, and it is better for her not to see certain things. Moreover, this is Tianqi's family matter, and he does not want any outsiders to interfere.
"Yes, Kushina, let's leave first. Let them have this place!" Hiruzen Sarutobi echoed Tenki's words.
"Alright then..." Seeing that no one wanted her to stay, Kushina Uzumaki lowered her head and left, with the ANBU ninja following her.
After Kushina Uzumaki left, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked Tianqi, "Tianqi, will your sealing technique have any problems? You know, the Nine-Tails going berserk is no joke."
"Brother Sarutobi, don't worry, my seal is absolutely perfect, I guarantee that the Nine-Tails will not have any problems!" Upon hearing this, Tianqi rolled his eyes at Sarutobi Hiruzen. It had been too long since he had seen him, and even his basic trust was about to disappear.
"Haha, don't overthink it. I was just confirming with you. Alright, you stay here with Lady Mito. I'll be going now!" With an awkward laugh, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned and left.
"It seems you won't be coming back to Root. I've finally gotten rid of someone who's been freeloading. I'm in a great mood!" Danzo smiled slightly, then turned and left.
Tian Qi's lips twitched upon hearing this. This old Tuan Zang is really dishonest. He's been eating for free all these years, and I've done him a lot of tasks. He's clearly unhappy because he lost a worker, but he pretends to be happy and indifferent. He's really a stubborn guy.
Two days later, Konoha Village also held a funeral for Mito Uzumaki, but it was not a grand funeral and was a very low-key one.
Tianqi did not choose the conventional burial method but used cremation instead. He had never forgotten that some people have a penchant for digging up graves. If someone were to dig up the exhumed remains one day, it would be a real problem. So, he decided to go all out and use cremation.
With this, Tianqi officially returned to Konoha Village. He no longer had to hide and could walk openly on the streets of Konoha. When Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and others heard that Tianqi had returned, they all came to visit him.
Of course, the current Uchiha clan head, Uchiha Mori, who is also Fugaku Uchiha's father, was also present. His purpose in coming was not a simple visit, but to ask Tianqi to return to the Uchiha clan. However, Tianqi refused. How could he possibly go back to hang out with these good-for-nothings?
More than a month later, today Chiyu and the others successfully graduated from ninja school. Unlike the peaceful era later on, where students graduated at eleven or twelve, ninja school graduates nowadays are almost all nine or ten years old.
"Hehe, I've finally graduated! I don't have to go to school and live that boring life anymore!" Qianyu jumped around happily as soon as she got home.
Tianqi, who was sunbathing in the yard, glanced at Qianyu, then closed his eyes and continued sunbathing. Now that he no longer had a ninja identity, he didn't have to do missions or care about the troubles of Konoha Village, so he could only lie at home.
"Dad, did you hear that? I don't have to go to the ninja academy anymore! Did you hear that?!" Qianyu shook Tianqi's chair vigorously, sharing her joy with him.
"Look at your pathetic self! You're so happy that you don't have to go to school. Who knows, you might get expelled. What's there to be happy about!" Tianqi, who couldn't sleep because of being shaken, poured cold water on Qianyu's enthusiasm.
"Returned to school? What's going on?" Qianyu asked with a puzzled look. He had never heard of being returned to school before.
"Didn't your school's teachers tell you that if you're not recognized by your team leader ninja, you'll be sent back to school? I really don't know how the teachers at the ninja academy taught you this!" Tianqi glanced at Qianyu speechlessly.
"I'm not really sure. The teachers at school just told us to go to school tomorrow to be assigned to teams and wait for the ninjas to come and pick us up. They didn't tell us anything else. But I've never heard of being sent back to school. Dad, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Qianyu looked at his father with suspicion. If someone had really been expelled from school, he couldn't have been unaware of it. Moreover, the teachers at the school wouldn't have failed to mention something so important. He now seriously suspected that his father had made up this story to deceive him.
"I don't have time to fool you. Believe it or not, it's up to you. But let me warn you, if you really get sent back to school, don't come back. I can't afford to lose face like that!"
With war raging all the time, no one would be sent back to the ninja academy. The village is eager for ninjas to graduate as soon as possible to replenish the troops on the battlefield, so why would they send anyone back? Moreover, with Chiba's current Chunin strength, the probability of him being sent back is almost zero. If someone with Chiba's strength could be sent back, then either Konoha is too trashy or the ninja in charge is blind.
"Tch! I'll never be rejected. My dream is to become Hokage!" Chiba shouted loudly in the courtyard.
Upon hearing this, Tianqi was speechless. Generally speaking, those who aspire to become Hokage are destined to die young. This kind of childish ideal is not something Qianyu should have.
“If you have such a ridiculous ideal, I advise you to change it as soon as possible. Your Uncle Shengshu used to always have this kind of ideal on his lips, but then... tsk tsk tsk..." Tianqi couldn’t help but shake his head when he thought of his immature brother-in-law.
"What happened after that?" Qianyu asked curiously. He knew very little about his uncle who had died on the battlefield, and his grandmother rarely mentioned him either.
"Later, the grass on his grave was three meters tall!" Tianqi rolled his eyes at Qianyu, blurting out the phrase "grave grass".
"…………"
Chiyu was completely stunned by her father's words. He was being far too blunt. Her father really showed no respect whatsoever for her deceased Uncle Rope Tree.
