Konoha: I practice hard every day! Chapter 040

“Adamantine Chains!”

Just as she spoke, multiple incredibly sturdy golden chains made of chakra extended from Uzumaki Kushina’s back, directly coiling around Ye Shu, making him utterly unable to move.

At this moment, Ye Shu, apart from his eyes, was completely out of his own control, as if he had been bound by someone.

“Do you still think I can’t catch you now?”

Uzumaki Kushina stared at Ye Shu with amusement, a hint of triumph on her face.

The Adamantine Chains were the Uzumaki clan’s kekkei genkai. However, Uzumaki Kushina was still young, and although she could use the Adamantine Chains, she wasn’t very proficient with them. At this moment, she could only grit her teeth, her muscles tense, using all her strength to control the golden chains.

“What can you do even if you catch me?”

Ye Shu remained unperturbed in the face of such a scene.

Because he could tell that Uzumaki Kushina wasn’t skilled in using the Adamantine Chains, and the golden chains weren’t entirely under her control. As a result, she had to fully concentrate on manipulating the chakra, making even moving very difficult, let alone any distraction.

In other words, Uzumaki Kushina could only stand there, fully concentrating on controlling the golden chains to bind Ye Shu. Any distraction would cause the golden chains to break, and once they broke, the Adamantine Chains would completely lose their effect.

The result of this was that while Ye Shu couldn’t move, Uzumaki Kushina also couldn’t move; they could only stand there.

However, Uzumaki Kushina was slowly trying to move at this moment. She attempted to take a small step, which didn’t show any signs of the golden chains breaking. Step by step, she gradually approached Ye Shu, and at the same time, the smile on her face grew more sinister. “I’ll catch you sooner or later.”

If Uzumaki Kushina continued like this, step by step, she would definitely reach Ye Shu’s side if there was enough time.

Meanwhile, Ye Shu was also mobilizing the chakra within his body. Ye Shu knew that the Uzumaki clan’s Adamantine Chains could restrict chakra, even suppressing a rampaging Nine-Tails instantly.

However, when Ye Shu mobilized his chakra, he found that the chakra in his body could still flow normally, just very slowly.

This was not surprising; it wasn’t because the Adamantine Chains weren’t strong, but because Uzumaki Kushina was too weak.

Given this, Ye Shu no longer hesitated. Who knew what outrageous things this hot-tempered “Red Hot-Blooded Habanero” would do?

Splashing hot soup on people was not a good habit.

Ye Shu’s mind moved slightly, and the chakra in his body slowly flowed along his meridians to various acupoints.

“Substitution Jutsu!”

Fortunately, Ye Shu could perform hand seals without using his hands, and the Substitution Jutsu was instantly cast.

At this moment, Uzumaki Kushina was still fully focused on slowly moving towards Ye Shu, step by small step, completely unaware of Ye Shu.

“Alright, you can play by yourself slowly. I’m going to eat.”

Ye Shu quietly said, then decisively left and returned to the Senju residence. Granny Uzumaki Mito had already prepared the meal.

“Where’s Kushina?”

Granny asked Ye Shu curiously. They had gone out together, so why was he the only one back?

Ye Shu pointed outside to Uzumaki Kushina, who was still fully concentrating on slowly approaching a trash can, and said, “She’s over there.”

Uzumaki Mito looked at Uzumaki Kushina on the street, also a little curious. “What’s wrong with this child? She seems a bit abnormal…”

Before long, Tsunade also returned from the Konoha Hospital.

“Granny, you’re back?” Tsunade exclaimed excitedly when she saw Uzumaki Mito.

Uzumaki Mito also responded warmly, “Tsunade, Granny’s back. Tsunade, hurry and wash your hands, we’re eating!”

Tsunade immediately went to wash her hands, saying as she went, “Granny, when I came back, I saw a ‘Tomato Head’ doing something to a tree stump over there. This ‘Tomato Head’ is so strange. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her before. Oh, right…”

It was then that Tsunade noticed that Granny Uzumaki Mito’s hair was also red, but with age, Uzumaki Mito’s hair color had long lost its former vibrancy.

“Tsunade, from now on, you are not to call her ‘Tomato Head’. Her name is Uzumaki Kushina, and she will be a member of our family from now on.”

“Uzumaki…”

Tsunade seemed to realize something.

Tsunade might not know the purpose of Uzumaki Kushina coming to Konoha, but Ye Shu knew that she was the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Jinchuriki were often ostracized by society and had a utilitarian meaning; once they became Jinchuriki, they were easily regarded as “monsters” rather than “people.”

Jinchuriki often endured immense loneliness, which could be said to be quite tragic.

In fact, Uzumaki Kushina was also a pitiful person.

From the day she was chosen to be a Jinchuriki, she might no longer be herself, but the property of the entire village.

Thinking of this, Ye Shu forgave her. Ye Shu walked out and called out to the still fully concentrated Uzumaki Kushina.

“Hey~”

“I said…”

“It’s time to eat~”

It was then that Uzumaki Kushina looked up and realized that Ye Shu was nowhere to be found.

Uzumaki Kushina returned to the room angrily, originally wanting to settle accounts with Ye Shu again, but with Uzumaki Mito present, she didn’t confront Ye Shu. She just sat down silently and began to eat.

Tsunade glared fiercely at Ye Shu. Without even thinking, she knew it must have been Ye Shu’s doing.

Seeing Tsunade glaring at him, and Uzumaki Kushina also glaring fiercely at him without moving, Ye Shu felt quite helpless.

However, Ye Shu noticed a problem.

“Tsunade, haven’t you noticed that you and Uzumaki Kushina sitting together look exactly like a dish?”

Tsunade was puzzled and looked up, asking, “What dish?”

“Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes!”

“Ye Shu, you’re finished!”

Tsunade stood up and lunged at Ye Shu, and Uzumaki Kushina, seeing her chance, also lunged at Ye Shu.
