Chapter 22: Konoha's Kusanagi Clan?
The next day, when Liu Yu woke up, he found himself lying in the arms of a woman. This long and beautiful red hair has already revealed the other party's identity, Konoha's ultimate weapon, the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki, the hot pepper-Uzumaki Kushina.
"You're awake!" Feeling Liu Yu's gaze, the woman opened her eyes and looked at the girl gently.
"Well! That! That, anyway, thank you for what happened last night." The girl dragged it out for a long time and finally said it shyly.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Kushina replied gently. For some reason, she thought of Kusanako from Kusanako Uzumaki. The two are so similar that they both give her a feeling of being able to rely on.
"But? Why? Obviously we haven't met before! Why do you treat me like this, so good to me?" Liu Yu couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Although he knew a lot about Kusanako Uzumaki in his previous life, the two of them didn't have a single intersection at the moment.
Kushina gently rubbed Liu Yu's head, and this feeling made Liu Yu think of Kusanako again.
"Why?" Kushina paused, as if thinking about what to say next.
"When I was young, the war affected the Land of Whirlpools. As a large clan in the Land of Whirlpools, all the adult members of the Uzumaki clan went to the battlefield, but the Land of Whirlpools was only a small country after all, and the war ended with the defeat of the Land of Whirlpools. From then on, the Land of Whirlpools and the Hidden Whirlpool Village became history. My father, mother, and all the clan members I knew were gone, and I became an orphan of the war."
At this point, Liu Yu could also feel a trace of sadness in the woman.
"Later, I was lucky to be brought to Konoha, and met a clan member who married to Konoha a long time ago—Grandma Mito. Grandma Mito advised me to fill my empty heart with love. Later, I met him." At this point, Kushina's face flushed, and Liu Yu knew who she was talking about.
Kushina concealed the fact that she was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. After all, Liu Yu was just an "outsider" who had just arrived in Konoha not long ago. It was impossible to reveal too many secrets to her. But Liu Yu also knew where Uzumaki Kushina's love for her came from. Similar experiences made this kind woman unwilling to let anyone suffer like her, nor did she want her to linger on the edge of hatred.
This is really a kind woman!
In the Hokage's office, the third generation Hokage quietly listened to the report of the Anbu. The content of the Anbu report was the details of Minato and Kushina's visit to Kusanagi Liu Yu. After listening to the report, the third generation waved his hand and signaled the Anbu to withdraw.
The current war situation is not good for Konoha. Although the Sand Village was defeated not long ago, Konoha was freed from the siege of the four major ninja villages. But now the Kusagakure Village has joined the war again, and the situation in Konoha has not changed fundamentally.
Konoha suffered such a great loss in this war. As the current Hokage of Konoha, I can't escape the blame. Once the war situation eases, I'm afraid my position as Hokage should be handed over.
The third generation Hokage is not nostalgic for the position of Hokage and unwilling to give up the power in his hands, but the current situation is really not reassuring.
Danzo has always had an idea about the position of Hokage, and Orochimaru is also very interested in the position of Hokage. But neither of these two people can be trusted to leave Konoha. Jiraiya, who is also one of the three ninjas, has no intention of becoming Hokage, and Tsunade has left the village.
Fortunately, Jiraiya's disciple Namikaze Minato is quite good. He has a tolerant and kind personality, values his companions in the village, and has a deep understanding of the will of fire.
The only shortcoming is that the team is weak and the qualifications are insufficient. The existing major ninja clans in Konoha have fixed class positions, and it is unlikely that they will truly support Minato, so they can only choose a team for Minato from civilian ninjas.
However, the Kusanagi clan sent here is quite good. They are all a group of children and are easy to control. And they also have a good bloodline. If they are well cultivated, they will be an important force in the hands of the Hokage.
When these children grow up, even if they no longer help, they don't have to worry too much about Minato being seized by Danzo and others.
Thinking of this, the third generation smiled, as if he had made up his mind.
On the bed, after Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki left, Kusa Senfutang came in and told her everything he knew, then left the ward and asked her to have a good rest and not to overwork.
After listening to Kusa Senfutang's story, Liu Yu felt her head buzzing. Seeing that Kusa Senfutang, who used to be always laughing, was no longer as lively as before, Liu Yu knew that Kusa Senfutang was not feeling any better than her.
But even though her head hurt so much, she had to cheer up and sort out the current situation. After all, Kusa Senfutang had clearly told her that she was the current head of the Kusa Sen clan, and she had to carry the Kusa Sen clan.
During the four months she was in a coma, the overall situation of Konoha did not improve. Although the weakest Sand Village besieging the four countries was defeated, the addition of the new force of Kusa Senfutang increased the pressure on Konoha's northern front.
The reason for the war announced by the top leaders of Kusagakure Village was that the Kusagakure clan colluded with Konoha to plot rebellion, attempting to overthrow the existing regime of Kusagakure Village and let Kusagakure Village join Konoha's chariot. Fortunately, with the great help of Iwagakure, the conspiracy between Konoha and the Kusagakure clan was thwarted, and Kusagakure Village had to decide to go to war with Konoha because of Konoha's power chauvinism. It has to be said that politics is so shameless to portray oneself as a victim.
Although everyone knows that Kusagakure Village is ready to grab a bite of meat when Konoha is about to collapse, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure all stand up and point at Konoha's great power chauvinism, trying to put themselves on the moral high ground. After all, there is no loss in saying a few words, and it can also disgust the opponent, so why not? Konoha took in the survivors of the Kusagakure clan, which naturally became their powerful attack point. Although they are also curious about how Konoha brought dozens of children back to Konoha from Kusagakure.
Konoha is now in a difficult position to defend itself. As long as it cannot win the war, even if it is fake, it will become true. If it wins the war, even if these are true, no one dares to jump out and say anything.
The top leaders of Kusagakure Village reached an agreement with Iwagakure Village. Iwagakure Village helped the top leaders of Kusagakure Village to wipe out the Kusagakure clan, and in return, Kusagakure Village changed its long-standing neutral stance and joined the war against the Fire Country. This is the information collected by Sister Naizi outside, and it is also because of this that father Kusagakure Chiyu made up his mind to contact Konoha and pray that Konoha would take in the children of the Kusagakure clan.
The bargaining chips of the Kusa Sen clan and Konoha are nothing more than the wealth accumulated by the family for many years and the inheritance of various secret and forbidden techniques. Konoha naturally has nothing to worry about in the face of the inevitable joining of the Kusagakure Village in the war, since both sides are ready to tear each other apart anyway.
Thinking of the children who came to see her today, Liu Yu could probably guess some reasons. Although most of the family's living forces can be transferred to the Land of Fire through the black stone boundary monuments of the two places, will the Konoha high-level officials accept the entire Kusa Sen clan? The whole clan moving to Konoha undoubtedly confirmed the name of the Kusa Sen clan as a traitor to the village, and the Konoha high-level officials simply could not believe in this family with a history of "traitorous village".
Now is not the time for the initial construction of the ninja village. The Kusa Sen clan, who joined Konoha as a whole clan, will inevitably be rejected more severely than the Uchiha clan. Even if the current Konoha chooses to accept the Kusa Sen clan because of the tight combat power, the tasks received by the Kusa Sen clan will inevitably be the most difficult and dangerous ones. After the war, the Konoha high-level officials will be wary of the Kusa Sen clan, and the Kusa Sen clan will also be dissatisfied with the high-level officials. This is undoubtedly a step from the wolf's den to the tiger's mouth for the Kusa Sen clan.
Moreover, the stigma of being a traitor is probably intolerable to the arrogance of the elders in the family. The Kusa Sen clan is a family full of honor. They would rather die in battle than live in humiliation.
The more than 30 children who came to Konoha were between three and eight years old, and the slightly older children were not sent to Konoha. If the oldest Kusa Sen Futang had not been the second bloodline awakener, he would probably have been left in the family to die in battle to maintain the final glory of the Kusa Sen clan!
Therefore, the only ones who can be accepted by the Konoha high-level officials are their own children who have not yet formed a fixed mindset. And these young children will have a sense of belonging to Konoha as they grow up, and only these children who have a sense of belonging to Konoha will make the Konoha high-level officials feel at ease.
But even so, Liu Yu did not have much aversion to Konoha's approach. First, this is the family's own choice. Second, this is the true meaning of politics, and everything is based on interests.
The high-level officials of the Kusa Sen clan and Konoha are very clear about this. The Kusa Sen clan only sent the children here, and the adult ninjas of the family chose to die in battle to maintain their honor. Konoha naturally reciprocated and took good care of these children, creating the Kusa Sen clan that belongs to Konoha.
