🕑 Added 2023-10-10 10:22:47 +0000 UTCHearing Uzumaki Kushina's anguished cries, Kazuhiko's heart ached.
Some even regretted agreeing to Kushina becoming a Jinchūriki at that time.
"Shouldn't I have not allowed Kushina to become the Jinchūriki?"
In that scenario, she would always have been joyful, but upon reflection, with Kushina's stubborn temperament, as long as she could become a Jinchūriki, she would never give up.
Finally, Kushina's agonizing cries gradually diminished, and the tailed beast was successfully sealed within her.
Kazuhiko watched this with excitement; Kushina's torment had come to an end, and the Land of Whirlpools finally possessed its own tailed beast, the Six Tails Saiken.
A tailed beast with both offensive and defensive capabilities, capable of blowing bubbles and flying, making it a perfect match for Uzumaki Kushina.
Even if she were to encounter danger in the future, she could use her bubble to fly away if unable to defeat her opponents.
Kazuhiko hurried over to Kushina's side and looked at her weary face. To be honest, at that moment, Kazuhiko felt as though his heart had been pierced.
Although he knew that, as the Six Tails Jinchūriki, it was his duty to help Kushina survive in the cruel ninja world, witnessing her in such pain, her vitality now replaced with weariness, still pained him.
He stepped forward and embraced Kushina, asking, "Kushina, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"
Seeing Kazuhiko's concerned expression, Kushina replied slowly:
"I'm fine, brother Kazuhiko. Did I succeed?"
"Yes, Kushina, you did it! You've achieved greatness! You're now the Six Tails Jinchūriki of the Land of Whirlpools."
"After your training, if the Land of Whirlpools faces another enemy invasion, you can defend our nation alongside everyone!"
Kazuhiko knew exactly what Kushina wanted to hear. He knew that Kushina had often complained about not being able to fight alongside everyone and defend her homeland when Mist Shinobi invaded.
Upon hearing Kazuhiko's words, Kushina smiled with satisfaction and then drifted into a deep sleep.
This time, sealing the tailed beast had indeed drained both their strength.
The clan head and elders approached, confirming that the seal was secure, and everyone was highly pleased with the outcome.
Although they had been confident beforehand, witnessing their success brought immense relief.
After all, this was crucial for the future of their eldest princess and the Land of Whirlpools.
Having confirmed the seal, Kazuhiko picked up Kushina and carried her to her room, ignoring the curious gazes of others.
He gently laid her on the bed and turned to leave.
"Brother Kazuhiko..."
Suddenly, Kushina called out drowsily, her voice filled with confusion.
Kazuhiko's heart softened instantly. He sat down quietly, gazing at Kushina, and whispered softly, "I'm right here. Sleep now. I'll always be with you."
As if reassured by his words, the crease between Kushina's brows gradually relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on her face as she drifted into a peaceful slumber.
Kazuhiko, watching over Kushina as she slept, couldn't help but sigh.
At such a young age, he was already harboring such deep emotions. What would he be like as he grew older? Wouldn't he be destroyed by them? He had to be strong!
Kazuhiko silently vowed to himself.
...
Some time passed, and whether it was the Land of Water or the Land of Thunder, they gradually fulfilled all the promises made before, transferring resources and support to the Land of Whirlpools.
Perhaps it was to assess Kazuhiko's strength or to confirm that the Land of Whirlpools now had a perfect Jinchūriki, much like Konoha.
When the representatives of the Land of Thunder and the Land of Water met with the Land of Whirlpools's elders, they were quite cooperative.
Some supplies, which they had expected to haggle over, were quickly delivered.
In an instant, the people of the Land of Whirlpools threw themselves into rebuilding their nation. They began constructing their defenses, envisioning the Land of Fire as their potential adversary.
In the Uzumaki clan's hall, the clan head and elders looked at Kazuhiko with solemn expressions.
"Kazuhiko, now you have the approval of all the citizens of the Land of Whirlpools. We've been observing you for these past days, and you've matured enough to take on the role of the Uzumaki clan's head."
"We've already discussed it. From now on, the Land of Whirlpools, the Uzumaki clan, and the Uzushiogakure will be entrusted to you."
The other elders nodded in agreement and gazed at Kazuhiko with hope.
Kazuhiko hesitated, wanting to say something, but this was happening so suddenly.
"Kazuhiko, there's no need to refuse. Once you become the clan head, I will serve as an elder."
"I'm getting old and can't keep up with the times. The future of the Land of Whirlpools lies in the hands of young people like you."
"If you ever have questions in the future, you can come to us elders at any time. We're always here to help."
Faced with the hopeful expressions of the Kiyoshi and elders, Kazuhiko suppressed his excitement and nodded.
"From now on, I am the new head of the Uzumaki clan."
