Chapter 44 : Can I seal that thing?

...

Watanabe was not wrong and Mito did recognize him.

There was no other way, she had to agree. Tsunade had already given all the things she could to Watanabe, and she almost gave away the Senju clan. As a grandmother, what else could Mito do but accept it?

Fortunately, Tsunade has a good vision. Watanabe is impeccable in both ability and intelligence, and it is almost impossible to find anyone of the same age who can match him.

"Huruzen's act of accepting a disciple this time is equivalent to suppressing Tsunade in disguised form." Mito continued.

"He wants to delay Tsunade's growth so that he can stay in the position of Hokage for a few more years."

Watanabe couldn't help but ask: "If that's the case, why did Senior Mito agree to let him take Tsunade as his apprentice?"

Mito asked back, "Why shouldn't I agree?"

Watanabe pondered, as if thinking about something.

"I can say without hesitation that as long as Tsunade herself doesn't want to give up, the position of the Fourth Hokage will definitely be hers."

Watanabe was moved. Mito's words were so domineering.

"No matter how many competitors Hiruzen supports for Tsunade, they cannot pose a threat to Tsunade, and no one dares to hurt Tsunade. Hiruzen can only delay Tsunade for a few years at most, but cannot change the final outcome." Mito said.

Watanabe hesitated: "Will this put too much pressure on Tsunade?"

There was a barely perceptible flash of relief in Mito's eyes. After knowing that Tsunade was destined to become Hokage, Watanabe's first reaction was not happiness, but worry for Tsunade. It can be seen that he was sincere to Tsunade.

"Of course there is pressure, but as the descendant of Hashirama, Tsunade has an obligation to do so."

As she spoke, Mito suddenly grabbed Watanabe's hand. Watanabe was slightly startled, not knowing what she was going to do.

The next moment, Watanabe's vision suddenly blurred. When he regained his vision, he found himself in a dark space. The ground was covered with water. A giant prison appeared in front of him, and Mito stood beside him in a white robe.

Watanabe asked in confusion: "Mito-senpai, where are we.."

"This is my spiritual world. Let me show you something." Mito replied calmly.

Then she raised her hand, and the darkness in the prison faded away, revealing a terrifying fox of extremely huge size. Hundreds of golden chains were wrapped around the fox's body, even the nine tails behind it were not spared, completely restricting its ability to move.

"Nine-Tailed Fox..."

Shock appeared on Watanabe's face.

Watanabe had heard the teacher at the ninja school introduce the Nine-Tailed Fox when explaining history, and he had also seen several illustrations of the Nine-Tailed Fox, which was exactly the same as the fox in the cage at this moment.

"Yes, it is the nine-tailed fox, a symbol of natural disasters since ancient times." Mito confirmed.

She saw that Watanabe was just shocked, not frightened, and she was very satisfied with his composure.

If any other adult man were here, he would definitely be scared and scream.

"After Hashirama defeated Uchiha Madara, in order to prevent the Nine-Tailed Fox from continuing to harm the ninja world, I sealed it in my body until today."

Watanabe sincerely praised: "Mito-senpai is amazing!"

'The Nine-Tailed Fox is a being that can destroy the world, but Mito was able to seal it for decades, which is enough to prove how powerful Mito is. No wonder Mito just said that no one dared to hurt Tsunade. Such a grandmother is comparable to a nuclear deterrent. Indeed, no one dared to touch Tsunade, and the third Hokage was no exception.'

"No matter how powerful I was, that was in the past. I'm old now." Mito shook her head, a look of loneliness appearing on her youthful and beautiful face.

"In the past few years, I have gradually lost control of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Sometimes I even fall into a coma for a short time because of the rebound of the Nine-Tail. It will not exceed three years at most. I must hand it over to someone else to seal it."

Watanabe heard the underlying meaning in her words and had a bad feeling: "Mito-senpai wants Tsunade to seal the Nine-Tails?"

"That's right," Mito admitted.

"Tsunade's physique is strong enough to seal the Nine-Tailed Fox, and in the entire Konoha, I only trust her to entrust the Nine-Tailed Fox to her."

Watanabe hesitated to speak, not knowing whether sealing the Nine-Tails was a good thing or a bad thing for Tsunade.

Mito explained: "Ninjas like me who use their bodies as containers to seal tailed beasts are called Jinchūriki. There are Jinchūriki in the ninja villages of the five major countries."

"The Jinchūriki often represents the strongest fighting force of a village. Being able to fight with the power of the tailed beast is the best way to deter hostile forces. The entire village will provide the highest level of protection for the Jinchūriki."

Mito explained seriously to Watanabe to know the importance of jinchūriki.

"You don't have to worry about Tsunade being in danger. Sealing the Nine-Tails will do more good than harm to her. The Uzumaki clan's sealing technique has a natural restraining effect on the tailed beasts. In addition, Tsunade's excellent physique is enough to make her a perfect match for the Nine-Tails."

Watanabe remained silent and He did not completely believe Mito.

How could such a large demon fox be stuffed into Tsunade's body without any effect? Even Mito said that she sometimes fell into a coma for a short time.

Mito saw that Watanabe didn't say anything and thought he was scared.

This is normal, anyone would be scared.

The thought that the person you love actually has a monster that has killed countless people sealed in her body, and that you have to sleep with her every day after marriage, not knowing when your wife will transform into a tailed beast and destroy everything...it's Quite scary just to think about it.

After staring at the Nine-Tailed Fox in silence for a long time, Mito slowly spoke: "Watanabe, I came to you today and brought you to see the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox just to tell you that it is not easy for you to be with Tsunade."

"Konoha is not as simple as you think. There are all kinds of power struggles, both from outside and inside. The ninja world is not as simple as you think. The forces of all parties are intertwined. Tsunade is also not as simple as you think. Her identity is destined to make her unable to be an ordinary girl."

"If you think you can sit back and enjoy peace and happiness after marrying Tsunade, you are totally wrong. Tsunade will bring you unprecedented troubles, or even though you to die."

"It's not too late for you to regret now. You are still young, you can find another girl you like, you don't have to worry about those troublesome things, and live a normal life like an ordinary person..."

"Mito-senpai."

Watanabe interrupted her.

"You misunderstood. How could I regret having a relationship with Tsunade? I always feel that meeting Tsunade is my greatest luck."

Mito was stunned and turned to look at him, seeing that Watanabe's handsome face was full of seriousness.

"No matter how much trouble and pressure Tsunade encounters in the future, I will bear it with her. If she wants to be Hokage, I will help her become Hokage. If someone hinders her, I will help her solve the obstacles. She wants to seal the Nine-tailed Fox..."

Watanabe paused, then changed the subject:

"Can I seal that thing? I think my physique is better than Tsunade's. If Tsunade can seal something, I can definitely seal it too!"

Mito was completely stunned.
