This way, she could last a little longer, without worrying about the Nine-Tailed having a chance to escape when the sealing effect weakened.
Of course, another reason was that she wanted to see the Uchiha Clan girl that Orochimaru and Tsunade brought back to Konoha.
"Nawaki is about to go to the Ninja Academy for classes; you should take it more seriously."
Tsunade said earnestly. She felt that her only sanctuary had also been invaded by this little devil, Nawaki, which was truly infuriating.
"There's still time, what's the rush?"
How could Uzumaki Mito not see her granddaughter's thoughts? Her affection for Orochimaru was practically written all over her face, yet Orochimaru, that little simpleton who put all her energy into research and training, couldn't see it.
As for Tsunade liking Orochimaru, she didn't have any particular thoughts. As an old woman with one foot in the grave, she wouldn't interfere with young people's love.
Moreover, Orochimaru was excellent enough; she was good at all household chores, made unique and delicious dishes, possessed impressive strength as a Ninja, wasn't rigid, didn't adhere strictly to rules, had her own unique insights into everything, and even learned the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique at an astonishing speed.
Orochimaru could be said to be a perfect match for Tsunade. Her only drawback was that she was a girl, but this sole flaw seemed insignificant in the face of her many virtues.
It's just... there's also Tsuna's rival in love at Orochimaru's house.
It worried her quite a bit; whether in appearance or personality, Xiao Mio surpassed Tsunade by too much.
Uzumaki Mito was still very worried that her granddaughter would lose to Hyuga Mio.
Although it wasn't good to think that way, Hyuga Mio and Orochimaru lived together, spending every day with each other. Coupled with Hyuga Mio's affection for Orochimaru, it would be normal if something happened between them.
"Tsuna."
Uzumaki Mito looked at Tsunade and gave her a meaningful look.
"Grandma, what's wrong? Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
Tsunade looked at her grandmother's eyes, which seemed a little uncomfortable.
"Grandma, are you okay?"
Nawaki thought Grandma's eyes were really uncomfortable and looked at her with great concern.
"..."
Uzumaki Mito was so angry she couldn't speak, wishing she could grab Tsunade by the ear and make her help in the kitchen. Even if she couldn't do anything, couldn't she at least help out?
How could you ever win anyone over like this?
Are you really my granddaughter?
You should know that when I pursued your grandfather... "My eyes were a little uncomfortable just now, but I'm fine now."
Uzumaki Mito suppressed her anger and rubbed her eyes.
"Please have some tea."
Hyuga Mio walked into the living room carrying a tray, on which sat a teapot and teacups. She poured tea for Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade, as if she were the lady of the house.
"Thank you."
Uzumaki Mito smiled, picked up the teacup with both hands, and took a sip of tea. Seeing Tsunade's complete lack of reaction, she sighed inwardly.
Why did you have to take after Hashirama, of all people?
Couldn't you learn from your granduncle?
As an elder, Uzumaki Mito found it difficult to interfere with young people's free love.
But!
She had never seen anyone as foolish as Tsunade. If Orochimaru was slow in emotions and treated Tsunade like a child, then Tsunade was simply a complete idiot!
She didn't even know how to fight for the person she liked!
Didn't you see that Xiao Mio was already declaring her sovereignty?
React!
Why are you just waiting here?
Go help!
The Nine-Tailed sealed within Uzumaki Mito felt strange. What was going on today? Why were the emotional fluctuations of this woman who sealed it so great? This was too abnormal.
Its long experience told it that at times like this, it was best to do nothing and wait until this woman died, then it could be freed.
Tailed Beasts don't truly die; they are reborn somewhere.
Even it didn't know where exactly it would be reborn.
In the kitchen, Orochimaru, busy preparing lunch, was unaware that Grandma Mito had already concocted a palace drama in her mind, and ironically, the main characters of this palace drama weren't following the script.
At the dining table, everyone ate a sumptuous lunch. Uchiha Hikari was a bit reserved in front of strangers, and her eating speed slowed considerably.
This child, why does she resemble Uchiha Madara so much?
Uzumaki Mito thought of Uchiha Madara the first moment she saw Uchiha Hikari. Remembering that Uchiha Madara had died countless years ago, she suspected this child was a descendant of Uchiha Madara.
This was very possible!
Far away at the Mountain Graveyard, Uchiha Madara suddenly sneezed several times. For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
Madara, that fellow, couldn't be... Black Zetsu, hiding in the shadows, was very concerned about Uchiha Madara's health. If he had to die, he should at least die after awakening the Rinnegan!
So many years had passed, and his mother-saving plan was still stuck at the crucial first step!
