Uzumaki Mito heard Kushina's angry question, smiled, pretended to be sad and teased: "Oh, our Kushina forgot about grandma now that she has a boyfriend. She is actually mad at grandma. Grandma is so sad!"
Kushina was stunned when she heard that, and then a blush quickly covered her fair cheeks. She said coquettishly: "Grandma, what are you talking about! Qingyun and I are just good friends, it's not what you said!"
Uzumaki Mito saw Kushina's shy look, and his weathered eyes were filled with smiles.
"Uchiha brat, don't you want to ask what just happened?"
Uzumaki Mito teased Kushina for a bit, then asked while looking at the person sitting on the ground gasping for breath.
Qingyun sat on the ground to relax for a while, then shook his head when he heard Uzumaki Mito's question: "Your appearance has given me the answer.
In fact, I realized something was wrong when I rushed over.
With the speed at which you performed the Body Flicker Technique just now, you could have easily killed me even without other means.
But you didn't do that.
Instead, you kept attacking Kushina, leaving me no time to consider the details and I could only follow your pace.
Until you showed up, I figured out why you were like that."
After a pause, Qingyun continued: "You love Kushina deeply, so you must pay special attention to the people around her. What's more, I am a member of the Uchiha clan with an extreme personality?
Even though I have left the Uchiha family, it does not change the fact that the Uchiha family blood flows in my body.
So, you set up this test specifically to test my feelings for Kushina, right?"
Uzumaki Mito heard this and looked at Qingyun deeply, thinking to himself: "What a smart kid."
"When did you open Two Tomoe Sharingan?"
Uzumaki Mito had looked up Qingyun's information before, but there was no news about Qingyun opening the Sharingan, which shows how deep Qingyun Shinobi is hidden.
Qingyun heard this, thought about it, and felt that Uzumaki Mito should have no ill will towards him, so he said frankly: "The day my parents passed away."
Uzumaki Mito's pupils shrank when she heard this. If she remembered correctly, Qingyun was only three years old on the day his parents passed away!
He opened the Sharingan at the age of three, and once it was opened, he had double magatama. This kind of talent is unmatched in the history of the Uchiha family!
"Then why don't you tell the Uchiha leaders that you have activated the Sharingan? With your wisdom, you should know that once the Uchiha leaders know that you have activated the Sharingan, they will definitely focus on training you.
Your life will be great."
Uzumaki Mito looked at Qingyun with a puzzled look.
"Because only when you are down and out, someone still cares about you and takes care of you, only this kind of feeling is real.
I have been very lonely since I was a child, but even so, I disdain the kind of relationship that is exchanged for benefits. "
Qingyun said casually.
The Uchiha family is destined to be destroyed, and he does not have the energy to save the arrogant Uchiha family. It can be said that Qingyun is very selfish, but this is the character of most people.
Qingyun originally just wanted to practice well, hoping to find the way home when he was strong enough.
It was not until the appearance of Namikaze Minato that Qingyun had a new goal, which was to protect his friends and change the tragedy of Namikaze Minato in the original work.
After hearing Qingyun's words, Uzumaki Mito looked at Qingyun deeply, then turned around, took out a pill and handed it to Kushina: "Kushina, take this pill and you will recover. Then you go to the Ninja School first, and I will help Qingyun heal."
Upon hearing this, Kushina took the pill and nodded without thinking too much about the meaning of Uzumaki Mito's words. After taking the pill, he looked at Qingyun with concern, then turned and ran towards the ninja school.
Qingyun looked at Uzumaki Mito calmly. He knew that Uzumaki Mito had something to tell him alone. Although Qingyun felt confused, he did not ask first. Instead, he concentrated his internal energy in his hands and performed the Healing Jutsu to heal his wounds.
Not long after, Qingyun healed himself, slowly stood up, looked at Uzumaki Mito and said: "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. If I can do it, I will do my best."
Uzumaki Mito heard this, looked at Qingyun's sincere face, and nodded: "There is one thing I want to ask of you.
That is to protect Kushina well in the future."
"I would have done the same thing without you telling me. Kushina is my only friend besides Minato, and I won't allow anything to happen to my friend."
Qingyun shook his head and assured Uzumaki Mito.
"You don't know what Kushina will face in the future. Do you know about the tailed beasts?"
Uzumaki Mito did not comment after hearing Qingyun's words, and then asked Qingyun about the tailed beast.
Qingyun naturally knew about the tailed beasts, and he also knew that Kushina would become a Jinchūriki in the future, but such secret things were not something a kid like him could know, so Qingyun shook his head in confusion.
Uzumaki Mito was not surprised when he heard this. He recalled the story of the tailed beasts while telling Qingyun.
"The Tailed Beasts are a group of very powerful monsters. Each of them has the ability to destroy the world and has infinite Chakra..."
Uzumaki Mito slowly told Qingyun about the tailed beasts.
Qingyun listened to Uzumaki Mito's story with a calm expression.
"And I have a tailed beast in my body, and it is the most powerful of the nine tailed beasts, the Nine Tails demon fox. People like me are called Jinchūriki by the world."
Uzumaki Mito stared at Qingyun and spoke word by word.
Qingyun's indifferent expression finally changed and he looked at Uzumaki Mito in surprise.
Qingyun was not pretending, but was really very surprised. He did not expect that Uzumaki Mito would tell him such a secret.
"Kushina will inherit me and become the new generation of Jinchūriki in Konoha. The Nine Tails demon fox is very powerful and very good at bewitching people. Once Kushina is controlled by the Nine Tails demon fox, she will lose control and cause a devastating blow to Konoha.
If that happens, Kushina will be ostracized by everyone in Konoha Village, and then, do you know what that means?"
Uzumaki Mito ignored Qingyun's surprise, and told Qingyun the news that Kushina would inherit her as Jinchūriki, and then looked at Qingyun seriously.
"I won't let that happen."
Qingyun looked at Uzumaki Mito with a determined expression.
Uzumaki Mito was pleased when she saw Qingyun's determined eyes.
Qingyun was extremely talented.
If he continued to improve at this rate, he would surely become one of the world's top powers in the future.
In addition, Qingyun's Sharingan was the nemesis of these tailed beasts.
Qingyun would surely be able to protect Kushina well in the future.
In this way, she could also go to the underworld to see her husband without any worries.
"Qingyun, you are very good. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. Also, don't tell Kushina about what happened today. She is still young and should not endure this kind of pain. I can still hold on for her for a few more years."
Uzumaki Mito rubbed Qingyun's head kindly and advised.
Qingyun heard this and said nothing, but just nodded lightly.
"Well, you should go back to the Ninja School too! I have some things to take care of."
"Wait, um, can you keep the fact that I activated the Sharingan a secret for me? I don't want to attract too much attention."
Qingyun saw Uzumaki Mito performing hand seals and hurriedly asked for help.
Uzumaki Mito heard this, glanced at Qingyun, then nodded with a smile on his face: "Although I don't know what you are afraid of, but I promise you, from now on you will be like Kushina and call me grandma!"
"Thank you, grandma."
Qingyun looked at Uzumaki Mito with gratitude.
Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Mito patted Qingyun on the head and then slipped away.
