Chapter 228
If there is anyone who is most satisfied with her current life, Uzumaki Kushina is definitely one of them.
Although she was somewhat unhappy about Minato's defeat in the competition for the position of Hokage against Orochimaru, the way Orochimaru treated her after he became Hokage made her have a drastic change in her impression of him.
The impression of a gloomy, gloomy, chakra filled with cold darkness, and not being a good person has changed to that of a person who is sensible, understands people's hearts, and can win people's hearts.
At least her current condition and mentality can prove this point.
Although the Sandaime was kind and gentle, his supervision and care of her in private always made her feel uncomfortable and annoyed. If it weren't for Minato, she might often rush into the Hokage's office and slam the table with the old man to vent some of her inner anger and depression.
How good is it now? Although she is still under surveillance by the Anbu, the intensity is much looser than before. Wherever Minato appears, the Anbu will generally retreat far away.
And she has quite a bit of freedom within the village and can move around like a normal ninja.
Even when she expressed her desire to recruit a few students to teach for fun, Orochimaru did not reject her, but actually gave her permission to choose her own students.
This made her, who used to envy Minato for having three lovely disciples, begin to look forward to her upcoming life as a teacher.
Of course, there would be certain limitations on the classes and disciples she led, but Kushina was already very satisfied to be able to do this.
The invisible constraints and repression that had previously been placed on her were tentatively touched upon and then broken through during this period of time, without any further dissatisfaction from the upper echelons.
This allows her to release more of her repressed and somewhat flamboyant nature.
With the permission of Orochimaru and Kagome, she also took over the position of deputy director of the Technology Development Department, although she had no real power.
Train apprentices, work, and be free.
Restrictions such as no longer having to stay in a certain area, needing to apply for and be monitored when going out, and trying not to go to crowded places, have all disappeared quietly.
I heard that two old consultants went to the Hokage's office to express their concerns about this, but then she received the notice that she had joined the Technical Development Department.
Of course, due to her physical condition, she can freely choose her office location.
Lu Nie didn't expect Kushina to have any talent in research and development now, but her knowledge of sealing techniques was indeed what he and the technical development department needed.
In Lu Ne's opinion, instead of letting a master of sealing techniques like Kushina waste her life doing nothing, it would be better to let her accept a few more talented disciples, just like Tsunade trained medical ninjas, and train targeted sealing ninjas.
"So, all I need to do is contribute my knowledge of sealing and provide some guidance in this area, right?"
Looking at Kane who came to visit, Kushina, who cooked a table full of sumptuous dishes to entertain him, suddenly realized something.
"Yes, you can slowly get familiar with the affairs of the Technology Development Department during this stage. I heard that you, Kushina-senpai, wanted to become the first female Hokage of Konoha Village!
Before that, you might as well be the deputy director of the technical development department first." Lu Nie said with a smile.
"I will try my best!" Kushina's fighting spirit increased. "That's not necessary. I don't want Teacher Tsunade to come into my office one day, slam the table and scold me for ordering a pregnant woman to work hard.
Minato-senpai wouldn't want this, would he? So during this time, you just need to take care of some sealing issues."
Lu Nie waved his hand quickly and glanced at Namikaze Minato who was sitting next to Kushina with a gentle smile on his face.
"I'm not that fragile anymore! The Uzumaki clan has a very strong physique!" Kushina glanced at her husband beside her. Although she said she refused to admit defeat, the fighting spirit and enthusiasm in her body had dissipated a little.
Childhood dreams are childhood dreams, and she now has new pursuits. So the tasks assigned to her by Lu Nie made her very satisfied, and she could feel the other party's thoughtfulness.
As expected, she and Minato had taught him the knowledge of sealing techniques for a period of time! Apart from some similarities between his personality and that of Orochimaru, he didn't feel bad.
"What type of sealing technique do you need?" Kushina thought about it and had no intention of being too proud of it.
Now the Uzumaki clan has been destroyed, and although its collection of sealing techniques has been divided up, she and Konoha still occupy a considerable portion of the Uzumaki clan's inheritance.
Especially in sealing techniques, most of the sealing techniques, even forbidden techniques, can be found in Konoha.
The one who knew the most, of course, was her, the descendant of Uzumaki who was taken care of and taught by Grandma Mito.
Unfortunately, she still hasn't learned Grandma Mito's Yin Seal. That technique's precise control over chakra has reached a somewhat perverted level. Until she can completely suppress the Nine-Tails in her body like Grandma Mito, this technique will always be a barrier for her.
Fortunately, her physique is strong enough and she has no shortage of chakra, so she doesn't need to worry about running out of chakra for the time being.
On the contrary, Tsunade, who is a medical ninja, has a natural talent in Yin Seal.
"A sealing technique that seals and releases ninjutsu." Lu Nie explained emphatically: "It's like a detonating talisman or a medical talisman."
"You mean, seal the ninjutsu on special talisman paper, and then release it when needed?" Kushina grasped what Luna wanted in an instant.
After the two asked and answered each other several times about the details, even Minato, who was just sitting next to them and watching their conversation, joined the discussion.
"Portable, energy storage, combination of different attributes, and instantaneous." Kushina rubbed her head, "There are relevant sealing techniques, but they are still far from what you require. To achieve this, at least some special sealing techniques need to be studied and improved.
If I were to do it alone, the workload would be too huge and it would probably take a long time.”
"The teacher will assign you a sealing team of your own. Besides, senior, aren't you going to accept disciples? You can also train some ninjas who are good at sealing. Just like how teacher Tsunade trained medical ninjas." Lu Ni replied indifferently.
He had already discussed this with Orochimaru before coming here, and the other party did not refuse or oppose his request. The Sealing Squad is a very important department in any village, and it controls the village's barriers, traps, and interrogations. Generally, they are the core members of the Anbu directly under the Hokage. Without the permission of the Hokage, this force will not be easily mobilized.
"In addition, you are only responsible for the most important part of this project. In a while, other people will come to discuss this project with you."
