2 DAYS LATER
I finally reached the shore; this journey felt endless. I've been training nonstop for 2 days, but time seems to crawl. It was a really annoying journey, but I've finally landed.
Now I'm within the borders of the Land of Fire, and I believe I can reach Konoha after running for about 3 days. Let's see my limits and test how quickly I can get to Konoha.
This will be both a training session and a test to see my boundaries.
I remember there was a movement technique in 'Uzumaki's Revenge,' so let's try that out.
3 DAYS LATER
HAHAHAHAAHH! God, this is so much fun! I've been running nonstop for 3 days, but I'm still not tired. Running through the trees or downhill is really enjoyable. I think I might be a bit too strong. I haven't stopped even once in 3 days and I'm still running. I'll be reaching Konoha's entrance soon.
After running a bit more, I saw Konoha's gate and started to slow down and walk. As I approached the gate, the guards stopped and questioned me.
"Who are you, and why do you want to enter Konoha?" one of the guards asked arrogantly.
I took off my hood, revealing my red hair, and spoke.
"I am Toji Uzumaki, you should have been informed of my arrival." I said.
"What are you talking about, we haven't received any information about you. Now go back and come with your family." the same guard said arrogantly again. Hearing this reminded me of the token my grandmother had given me earlier.
FLASHBACK
My grandmother handed me a token with golden stripes and the Uzumaki symbol on it and said, "Toji, take this token and show it to them if they cause you any trouble. If they still cause trouble, you can cause trouble for them. Remember, you are strong, and in the Ninja world, the strong rule."
"Don't worry, grandma, I know exactly what to do if they cause trouble." I said.
FLASHBACK ENDS
I took out the token and tossed it to the guard. The guard trembled when he saw the token and spoke, "I apologize, sir, you may pass, and I will escort you." He handed the token back to me with both hands. I didn't know what the token was for, but I didn't question it much and followed the guard.
After walking for a while, he brought me to the place with the Senju clan's logo. This place was really different from my previous life.
"I can only escort you up to here, sir, you'll have to go the rest of the way on your own." the guard said. Without responding, I continued forward and entered the clan area.
After walking straight for a while, a blonde girl around my age ran towards me. She stopped in front of me and started talking, "Are you Toji Uzumaki?" she asked arrogantly.
I examined the girl with cold eyes and spoke in an icy voice, "Is arrogance a tradition in Konoha?" The girl, intimidated by my gaze, lowered her head and spoke in a calmer voice. "Are you Toji Uzumaki or not? And the answer is no, arrogance is not a tradition in Konoha." she said.
I smiled coldly and replied, "Yes, I am Toji Uzumaki. And who are you?"
She looked at me and spoke, "I am Tsunade Senju." (In this series, Tsunade will be the same age as Toji.)
"Then take me to Grandma Mito, Tsunade." I said.
"Don't order me around." Tsunade replied.
"No one's ordering you, Tsunade. I'm asking you to do it. Fulfill the purpose of your presence here." I said.
Tsunade stomped her foot and spoke, "Follow me." and started walking. I followed her, and after a short walk, we arrived in front of a house with a huge chakra presence. I smiled and spoke, "Grandma Mito is truly amazing. Holding such a beast inside her, HAHAHAHAHA this is truly amazing." I said.
Tsunade looked at me in surprise and spoke, "How did you notice that?"
"You could say I'm a bit sensitive to chakra." I said with a smile that I didn't think was sincere. Hearing my response and seeing the smile on my face, Tsunade huffed and entered the house, and I followed her.
We walked until we reached a door, and after reaching it, Tsunade knocked and spoke, "Grandma Mito, may we come in?" An elderly voice was heard from inside, "Of course, you may."
Tsunade opened the door, and I saw a woman who had lost her vitality and aged. She seemed to be holding on purely through sheer willpower.
I entered and, after examining Mito with cold eyes, spoke, "Tsk, what's this state? Are you still an Uzumaki?" Hearing my words, Tsunade looked at me and started shouting, "What are you saying, huh? How dare you insult my grandmother, huh?" She would have said more, but Mito stopped her.
"He's right, little Tsunade, I truly have nothing left of the Uzumaki." Mito said.
"And what is this disgusting seal? Are you really my grandmother's sister?" I asked. Mito was first surprised by my words and then started laughing. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! You really are Ruriko and Rusen's grandson. They behaved the same way." Mito said and then sighed, opening her mouth to speak, but I spoke first.
"I want to meet the Nine-Tails." I said.
"You have the right to do that, come and hold my hand." Mito said. I had no reservations because, in this state, Mito couldn't harm me. I held her hand, and a second later, I found myself in front of Kurama's cage. The place was filled with shallow water, and in front of me was a sealed Kurama. He looked at me and roared.
"Calm down, Kurama." I said. Hearing my words, Kurama was surprised and spoke, "How do you know this name, human?"
"That's none of your concern. I just want you to be patient, the time of the prophecy is approaching, and on that day, the Nine-Tailed Beast will trust a single human." I said.
"Shut up, human! I will never trust and befriend a human." he said. After his words, he roared and started straining the seal.
"Tsk, how annoying." I said and started making seals. "Umitsubame no Kizuna (Oceanic Chains)." As I performed the seal, chains emerged from the water and held Kurama in place.
"Hakke no Fūin Shiki (Eight Trigrams Sealing), Tenka Fūin (Heavenly Gates Seal)." Using these seals, I neutralized Kurama's chakra and completely restrained his movements. I approached Kurama, pinned to the ground, and spoke right in front of his eye.
"I told you to calm down and wait, Kurama." I said.
"Shut up, human." Kurama shouted. I sighed and spoke, "Kurama, I told you to calm down. Listen to my words and settle down." I said in a cold voice.
My killing intent emanated from my body, and my eyes turned as red as my hair because of it. My killing intent was so intense that even Mito was left breathless.
Of course, my killing intent is very strong because I didn't go through all those lives and wars for nothing. After experiencing the 1st and 2nd Ninja Wars more than ten times and killing tens of thousands of people, I can solidify and liquefy my killing intent.
Feeling my killing intent, even Kurama lowered his head and remained silent. "Look, Kurama, all you need to do is wait for the child mentioned in the prophecy, and you won't have to wait long. At most, you'll have to wait about 40 years. Now take good care of Mito and behave calmly." I said.
"Tsk, fine. Go and do whatever you want, just leave me alone." Kurama said. I turned my back and saw Mito looking at me in shock and breathlessness. Then I started to speak, "That's enough, let's go." I said and forcibly exited the mindscape.
I opened my eyes, and a second later, Mito also opened her eyes and checked the seal on her stomach. Realizing that there were two additional layers of advanced seals, Mito was surprised and spoke, "How did you perform these two advanced seals so well? How can you make seals this quickly despite being so young?" she said.
"If you hadn't left and come to this primitive place with that fool Hashirama Senju, you could have learned too." I said.
"Don't insult my husband/grandfather." Mito and Tsunade said simultaneously.
Before being reborn, I used to love this place, but the years I lived in Uzushigakure took away my attachment to this place, and now I wonder how I managed to live here for so many years.
"Tsk, shut up. It's insignificant that Tsunade is defending this place, but you, Mito Uzumaki, how did you come here and choose to live here? Are you stupid?" I asked.
