Mito felt a pang of heartache facing his guardedness towards her.
She had been watching how he treated Kushina these past few years.
She felt both gratified and helpless.
Gratified because they had a very good relationship, but helpless because it seemed that both he and Kushina only had each other.
Yasu had no other friends, and Kushina too had no other friends either.
Moreover, when he came to see her before, he had already moved houses, and because Hiruzen had visited him at the Konoha Ninja Hospital, the villagers of Konoha no longer openly ridiculed him.
So, Mito asked him: 'Yasu, do you feel a sense of belonging to Konoha now?'
And his answer was: 'My allegiance will always be to Konoha'.
However, Mito could clearly feel that he was lying, and at the same time, she could also feel... his malice towards Konoha.
It was then that she realized that he had always harbored hatred for Konoha in his heart.
Well…
Almost died in the womb because of the Uchiha clan's persecution.
His parents were forced to defect from Konoha and were hunted down by the Anbu.
After his parents died and he returned to Konoha, not only was he not recognized by the Uchiha clan, but he also suffered endless contempt.
How could he not hate Konoha? Unless, he is some retard fool… (Naruto, I see you…)
And Yasu had always been disguising himself, ever since he returned to Konoha at the age of four, he had been disguising himself, even now, he was still disguising himself.
He was bearing pressure and difficulties that he should not have at his age.
Mito wanted to help him, but she was also powerless.
On one side were her husband's clansmen, and on the other was the village of Konoha that her husband had founded.
She wanted to tell Yasu not to hate Konoha, but she couldn't say those words, nor did she have the right to say them to him.
Kushina seemed to sense that something was wrong, and tugged at Mito's sleeve: "Grandma Mito, what's wrong?"
Mito forced a smile and said: "It's nothing, Kushina, I want to talk to Yasu alone, is that okay?"
Kushina agreed directly: "Of course!"
Just as she was about to leave, Yasu suddenly grabbed her hand and said to Mito: "Lady Mito, Teacher Orochimaru's homework is quite heavy, I'll just chat with Kushina for a bit and then take my leave."
He felt that whatever Mito wanted to talk to him about alone would definitely be troublesome.
Plus, he felt that there was nothing to talk about with her.
Mito wanted Kushina to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so he and Mito were naturally on opposite sides.
Even with her usually carefree nature, Kushina now noticed that there seemed to be a problem between Yasu and her grandma.
Caught in the middle, she was a little embarrassed: "Yasu... Grandma Mito..."
Mito sighed: "Yasu, I'm not trying to talk to you alone as a member of Konoha, but as an elder of Kushina, is that not okay either?"
Yasu frowned slightly and glanced at Kushina.
Seeing her embarrassed expression, he frowned even harder.
He then let goo of her hand and said: "I understand, Kushina, go out and wait for me first, I'll finish talking with Lady Mitoand come find you soon."
After Kushina left, he looked at Mito and asked: "Lady Mito, I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"
Mito said in a gentle voice: "Yasu, you are a member of my husband's clan, so I can be considered your elder."
Yasu lowered his head slightly, his voice still distant: "Lady Mito, I don't have a surname."
Hearing this, Mito smiled bitterly.
No surname... Doesn't even acknowledge himself as a descendant of the Senju clan...
Mito shook her head helplessly, then said: "Yasu, I'm relieved to leave Kushina to you in the future..."
Hearing her words, he raised his head and looked at her again.
The corners of her lips curled into a somewhat bitter smile, it seemed that only Kushina could bring out his true feelings, but this also showed that Kushina was very important to him.
She continued: "Our Uzumaki clan almost all possess special constitutions, with innate massive chakra and powerful vitality, and what I'm about to tell you next is a secret of Konoha..."
As Mito prepared to continue speaking, she suddenly sensed the increasingly intense malice rising from Yasu's body.
Although his expression did not change in any way, she was very certain that this malice of his was directed entirely at her.
Mito was very confused, if Yasu had malice towards her after she said what she was about to say, she could understand.
But she hadn't said anything yet, why did he suddenly feel so much malice towards her?
Mito Uzumaki's eyes sharpened.
Could it be... he knows something?
And of course, Yasu knew.
Mito first told him about the Uzumaki clan's constitution, and then said it is a secret of Konoha.
What she was going to tell him next was most likely about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
He noticed her scrutinizing gaze.
Yasu's heart skipped a beat, could it be that Mito saw something?
That shouldn't be, he had always managed his expressions quite well.
He suddenly shuddered, his expression somewhat ugly.
He had forgotten something very important!
The ability that being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki brought to Mito Uzumaki.
Sensing malice.
No wonder she said just now that there was no need to be so guarded against her, it turned out that she had sensed his guard.
Tch, What a troublesome ability, if that's the case, then his disguise is completely useless infront of her.
He then took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Since he couldn't disguise himself in front of Mito, then there was no need to continue disguising himself.
Sensing the change in his attitude, Mito looked seriously at his eyes and said: "As expected, Yasu, you know about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and you also know why Kushina came to Konoha, right?"
"Lady Mito, I have no way of knowing."
Although no longer disguising himself, Yasu didn't lay everything out on the table, it was one thing for her to guess, but it was another thing for him to say it himself.
Mito frowned slightly: "Yes, you have no way of knowing, but you just know, then is your malice towards me because Konoha wants Kushina to become a Jinchuriki?"
Yasu replied formally: "Lady Mito, this is Konoha's decision, I have no right to interfere or intervene."
Mito felt really tired talking to him, this kid was really stubborn.
