Chapter 82 Konoha is good, However, it's not good enough and could be better
"..."
Shinnō thought a lot at this moment, chaotic thoughts emerged in his mind, and a bitter smile gradually appeared on his face: "Is it free?"
As he thought, Kumokawa shook his head and said with a smile: "In my life, creed, fate and price are synonymous."
After saying that, he stretched out his left hand towards Shinnō, his thumb gradually cracked and made a small opening.
Seeing a drop of blood seeping out from the crack, Shinnō subconsciously opened his eyes and held his breath.
It was like he was possessed by a man, that smell made him salivate.
"Ahem! If you take it, then I will help you."
After Kumokawa coughed, Shinnō suddenly came back to his senses.
"What, what is this? How can human blood be like this?" He looked into Kumokawa's eyes, was already trembling with fear, and his tone was full of fear: "Are you really a monster in human skin?"
Shinnō looked at the pair of faint blue pupils, the pupils felt plain but there was something profound hidden in them.
Like a monster that can see through human desires, its gaze picked at his flesh and blood inch by inch, and he put the things hidden in his body on the desk and the chopping board to analyze and negotiate the price.
"Perhaps you can regard me as a devil?"
Kumokawa shrugged indifferently, smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to Shinnō: "I respect those who dare to pay the price to change their destiny. They are better than those who just ask for charity from others."
"The most precious thing for a person is his own soul."
The lights on the wall glowed brightly, illuminating the back of Kumokawa sitting on Zero Tail, casting his shadow on Shinnō at his feet.
"You, you..."
Shinnō looked at the palm that was gradually approaching him, and looked at the blue eyes through the gaps between his fingers, feeling that his scalp and teeth could not help but feel numb.
The bone-chilling chill and shadow make people feel like they are falling into hell, as if they will be dragged into hell by monsters and suffer torture.
He had said so many beautiful words just now to him, but at this moment, he felt instinctive fear.
Once I accept this drop of blood, I may gain some benefits, but I will also lose something forever.
"Sell your soul to me and get the only and last chance to control your own destiny." Kumokawa's voice seemed to come from a distant place.
Listening to the devil's confusing voice in his ears, Shinnō's slightly trembling body froze, and he watched helplessly as the palm pressed down and covered his cheek.
"Ah!!"
The moment the "blood" melted into his body, Shinnō let out a shrill wail.
The soul-shredding pain caused his slightly blue blood vessels to protrude, and his whole body seemed to be covered with slender, squirming worms. Countless bloody holes gradually cracked on his exposed skin.
"Ho ho!"
Shinnō breathed out hysterically. The heat in his chest made his throat smoke. The blood flowing in his veins was no longer blood, but turned into hot molten molten metal, roaring deep in his throat.
That drop of "blood" gradually turned into a shackles for the soul, and the end of the shackles was held in Kumokawa's hands, and the body was torn into pieces and transformed into an even more bizarre form.
Seeing Shinnō transforming into a "Demon" and sensing the Bloodborne Curse, Kumokawa took a step back with an indifferent expression, then lowered his head to look at Zero Tails at his feet.
"Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Zero Tail, who was originally sneaking around and probing its head, made a strange cry after meeting Kumokawa's pupils, and retracted a few tentacles as if nothing had happened.
"It's really dishonest."
Kumokawa stood up with a smile on his face, looked down at the Zero-Tail huddled up, and whispered: "Sure enough, compared to integrating yourself in the body of Zero Tail, the 'Zero-Tailed Jinchuriki' seems even better. "
Kumokawa plans to seal the "Zero-Tail" into the body of Shinnō who has been transformed into a "Demon", so that he can get a subordinate as the "Zero-Tail Jinchuriki".
"I have no shortage of Uzumaki clansmen here who are good at sealing. After this invasion of Konoha is over, you can stay here with Shinnō and work for me."
As he spoke, the blood mist around Kumokawa was drawn and condensed. Eventually it transformed into sharp spikes.
Zero Tails, who was pointed at by the spikes, shrank back and trembled restlessly in the giant cocoon.
"Be good, don't move. It's good for you. You can grow up by eating more." Seeing its resistance at the moment, Kumokawa's tone became gentle and comforted him in a soft voice, "Don't waste my patience, bastard. "
The words fell, and in a burst of shrill screams, sharp tentacles stabbed out from behind.
"Hiss!"
The tentacle made a "puff" sound and pierced into the body of Zero Tail in the cocoon, causing it to emit a harsh hiss!
The blood mist contained extremely deep malice, wrapping around Zero Tails' body like a snake, slithering upward inch by inch, eroding and sucking.
Zero-Tail's incomplete body actually began to become stronger and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The blood color also gradually spread on the black and purple body, outlining strange blood lines.
"Sure enough, it's feasible."
Seeing the changes in Zero-Tail, Kumokawa narrowed his eyes and thought, "To what extent can Zero-Tail, who has been strengthened by me, and Shinnō, who has become a Demon, invade Konoha?"
Just as Kumokawa was thinking, his brows suddenly raised.
He sank his consciousness into his mind and looked at the white template.

"...fear gas?"
Shinnō wailed and Zero Tail neighed.
After a brief silence, there was a sudden burst of laughter.
"Hahaha." Kumokawa blinked and smiled, "It seems that Konoha's luck is not very good."
——————————
At the same time, an old two-story building in Konoha Inside the residence.
Ding bell... bang! !
The bedside alarm clock rang at six o'clock on time.
But before it could jump twice, it was slapped down by a hand.
"Ha!"
A boy sat up with his eyes open, yawned and stretched on the bed.
Immediately, he put on his clothes and folded the quilt. He got a cup of hot water in the living room. Holding the slightly warm water glass, he walked to the window and opened the curtains.
The small pots of flowers growing by the window are all blooming, and the colors are particularly bright in the sunlight. Just looking at them can make you feel better.
Warm sheets were drying outside, and the gentle breeze was blowing the green leaves swaying.
The sunlight shining on the boy's smooth blond hair reminds people of precious golden satin.
"Konoha, good morning."
The boy enjoyed the breeze blowing on his face, feeling comfortable all over, and the smile on his face was as bright as the sun.
It's still early now, and compared to the usual bustle and bustle, the streets downstairs are much cleaner.
The entire residential building is still quiet, and you can vaguely hear the chatter downstairs.
"Hey!"
As if they heard the sound of the window opening above, the two old women chatting downstairs raised their heads and greeted the boy with a kind smile: "Good morning, little Minato. Have you eaten? If not, come down and eat together with us?"
"Ah haha, good morning, Granny Matsubara, Granny Nagase."
Faced with the enthusiasm of the two Grannies, Minato scratched his head shyly and said politely, "Thank you, Grannies, but I've already made breakfast."
"Oh, little Minato is really mature and sensible. He feels like a little adult."
"Yeah, he's the same nine years old as my little brat, but he's not naughty and mischievous like him at all."
Getting rid of the overly enthusiastic and friendly two Grannies, Minato closed the window and breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked to the living room and took out the instant rice balls and miso soup from the refrigerator. He finished his breakfast in a few bites and then put away the dishes. After finally making sure that he didn't forget anything, he went out.
Minato took his time and exercised as usual, jogging along the street in the light morning mist.
But when he ran to an intersection, a man with long white hair walked towards him.
"Hiruko-senpai?" Minato greeted him subconsciously, "Good morning!"
"..." The man who was called Hiruko stopped and glanced at Minato with his red eyes.
Then he just nodded his head indifferently, flicked his white hair tied into a ponytail for the last time, and passed him by without looking back.
"It seems that Hiruko-senpai is not in a good mood." Minato scratched his head, but didn't pay too much attention and continued to run forward.
But soon, a strange green figure chased him from behind.
"Hoo! Hoo! Little Minato, I am so envious of your youth when you get up so early for a run!"
Minato clearly recognized the owner of this familiar voice. Although he had a headache, he still turned around with a smile and said: "Good morning, Brother Dai, what are you planning to accomplish today?"
He saw a man with his hair parted in a side part.
Although Minato called him brother. With his thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face and a big nose, he looks like an uncle.
Especially when he is wearing green tights and "running" while standing upside down with both hands, he looks even more funny and neurotic.
"Today's goal is to circle Konoha twenty times while standing upside down!"
The upside-down Might Dai smiled brightly and showed his bright white teeth and said loudly: "If I can't do it, I will do three thousand frog jumps and pull-ups."
He said in a loud voice, and curses came from the houses on both sides of the street, making him subconsciously close his mouth.
It can be seen that he is usually disliked by many people, he does not care about other people's opinions at all, and his character is more or less humble.
"Although this is not the first time I have heard of Brother Dai's goal, is there really no problem with this exaggerated amount of training?"
Minato did not look at Might Dai with a strange look, but looked worriedly at the Might Dai and said:"Brother Dai, don't force your body!"
As far as Minato knew, Brother Dai knew neither ninjutsu nor genjutsu. He was just a genin who could not be promoted all the year round and could only do some D-level missions like catching cats and dogs.
Such tasks are daily chores, usually issued by ordinary people or nobles, and the reward is between 500 ryo to 10,000 ryo.
For a physical practitioner like Might Dai, this money cannot even cover his food expenses, and he is even so poor that he has to receive relief funds from the village.
Even so, he can only barely guarantee his food and clothing, and there is nothing more he can do.
But Minato can understand his approach, after all, all he has left is Taijutsu.
Minato also admired Brother Dai's belief very much, but unfortunately Brother Dai never asked him to borrow money, even if he offered to borrow money, he would not ask for it.
In Brother Dai's original words, that is...
"It doesn't matter!"
Might Dai jumped up and down while standing on one hand, turned his head and gave a thumbs up to Minato, and said loudly in a passionate and exciting tone: "This is it. This is youth! This is what you have to do, work hard and sweat!"
Suddenly there were strange looks from around him, which made Minato take a breath of air and curl up his toes hidden in his shoes.
For him, who is still young now, these kinds of words are still a bit embarrassing.
At this moment, Might Dai suddenly shouted "Ouch" and turned to look at Minato while running upside down, causing him to fall headlong into the grass on the side of the road.
His head sank into the grass, leaving only his legs exposed, still twitching slightly, looking very funny.
"Brother Dai!"
Minato came to his senses and ran over quickly.
But before he could reach out to help, Might Dai put his hands on the ground and jumped out with his legs.
"Bah! Bah! Minato, it's okay, I just have to start counting circles again..."
He spit out all the leaves in his mouth, but before he could finish his words, his stomach actually growled.
"Brother Dai, you..." Minato,who originally stretched out his hand to help him, hesitated, then put his hand into his arms to take out his wallet, and advised: "You must eat enough or the worst will happen in the future...Brother Dai?"
Minato's wrist was suddenly held down, and he looked up at Might Dai in shock.
The man shook his head slightly, then let go of Minato's wrist holding the wallet, grinned with bright teeth and said, "You are still a child, and I am an adult. How can an adult ask for a child's money?"
"Showing this ugly look in front of you is enough to make me embarrassed. If I really accept your money, my youth will be really extinguished."
Although he was an incompetent man in the eyes of other ninjas and villagers, he was not so useless that he needed to get the inheritance left to their son by the heroic parents before their death.
"Brother Dai..."
Hearing this, Minato's light blue pupils trembled, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
After a brief silence, when he was about to persuade Might Dai again, the figure in front of him had already run away.
"Minato! Come on! Work hard! Go to school well! Youth means never giving up!"
Might Dai's passionate shout came from a distance, looking like a green-skinned frog, He yelled and ran away.
"..."
It wasn't until the green figure disappeared in front of his eyes that Minato withdrew his gaze and looked down at his wrist, his twinkling eyes gradually gaining a touch of color.
Konoha is good, really good.
However, it's not good enough and could be better.
"If I could become Hokage, I would never let someone like Brother Dai..." Minato couldn't help but have thoughts that had appeared several times before.
Minato stood there in trance for a long time, until a villager walked by, and Minato suddenly came back to his senses and exclaimed: "Oops! I am going to be late for school!"
——————————
At the same time, in the old style house.
The girl was wrapped in a white quilt and snored on the tatami, sleeping soundly.
The dim light from the window filtered into the room. Her dishonest sleeping position exposed her arms, calves and half of her shoulders, and her red hair was very messy.
At this time.
Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell! !
The alarm clock that fell to the ground at some unknown time made a deafening sound like revenge.
"Ah!"
The girl exclaimed in fright. She sat up straight and looked forward in confusion.
After she recovered, she picked up the alarm clock that was bouncing on the ground, slapped it and turned it off.
But when she saw the time on the alarm clock clearly, her black-green pupils instantly widened, and she stared blankly at the dim light coming through the window.
"Ah ah ah! Oh no! Oh no!"
The girl jumped out of bed, got dressed in a hurry, and hurried downstairs.
In the living room, a young woman with long red hair, a pair of buns, a diamond-shaped mark on her forehead, and wearing a white kimono was sitting at the dining table.
"Kushina, are you awake?"
Looking at Kushina who jumped down from the building, the woman teased with a half-smile, "Aren't you going to sleep for a while?"
But before she could finish her words, Uzumaki Kushina without even stopping, grabbed the hot rice ball from the woman's hand and put it in her mouth.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh! (Thanks, Grandma Mito)!"
Kushina replied vaguely, put on her shoes at the entrance and ran away without looking back.
Looking at the girl's back disappearing in front of him, Uzumaki Mito's young and girlish face revealed a somewhat unconventional and kind smile.
"That's great. It seems that Kushina is doing well in school."
She sighed happily, then lowered her head and said to herself: "In this way, I should be able to live up to Tetsuya's trust."
As she said that, she looked up in the direction of the Country of Whirlpool, but the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
She doesn't know why but She always felt a little uneasy in her heart.
What makes her even more uneasy is that her sixth sense has always been accurate.
After a moment of silence, Mito sighed, looked down at her abdomen, and murmured: "I can still hold on for a while, I just hope that day comes later."
If possible, she didn't want Kushina to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, shouldering heavy responsibilities and missions.
