Chapter 437 If at that time
The figure that appeared next to Uzumaki Kanako at this time was naturally Kaito.
After releasing the "Great Waterfall Jutsu" at sea, Kaito had been flying in the sky and watching the show the whole time.
It's not that he was still worried about having Kono as the examiner for the second exam.
As the Mizukage, he even came over in person to supervise the exam.
Mainly because he has nothing to do, he wants to watch these noobs fight each other.
By the way, he also wants to show his concern for the cultivation progress of several of his disciples.
With Kaito's "keen eyes" ability that brings him ultra-long-distance vision, he can look down at any position on the entire island while floating above it.
Several teams of examinees that interested him were all under his attention.
Of course, what he paid the most attention to were his three disciples.
Even when the three little guys were fighting just now, Kaito's flying altitude was already close enough to be able to rescue at any time.
If these little rascals were really in danger of their lives, he would definitely save them immediately.
He won't care about the rules of the exam.
Of course, it was precisely because he was paying attention to the conditions of his own disciples that he noticed that among the Kusagakure candidates, there was such an old acquaintance of his.
When he looked through the list of candidates before, there was no word "Uzumaki" on it at all.
'I guess this is just some of Kusagakure's little tricks, right?'
Kaito thought so.
Looking at the Uzumaki Kanako in front of him, her injuries recovered quickly after biting herself.
Although he knew it would be like this, Kaito couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
'Is this some new concept perpetual motion machine?'
Not to mention the doubts in Kaito's mind about the Uzumaki clan's unscientific treatment methods.
After recovering from her injuries, Uzumaki Kanako lay there motionless with empty eyes.
Survival is just the body's instinct, but after she really survived, she seemed to have returned to her previous state of despair.
In fact, when she awakened the 'Mind eye of Kagura', she led her two Kusagakure teammates to the place where others were ambushing.
Uzumaki Kanako never considered whether she could survive.
Seeing her like this, Kaito sighed in his heart and spoke again.
"Come with me, I will take you back to the Kirigakure Village."
In fact, this was not the first time that Kaito had made this suggestion to her.
A few years ago, when Kaito was still an ordinary jonin, he visited the Land of Grass while traveling in the Ninja World during the Third Great Ninja War.
At that time, Kaito had just brought Kabuto back to the original front-line base, which was the Land of Whirlpools.
It was precisely because he picked up a future genius like Kabuto that he thought of Karin from the Kusagakure Village and her mother Uzumaki Kanako.
At first Kaito was thinking of finding the wandering Uzumaki clan and "Sketching" them to obtain a share of the Uzumaki clan's physique for himself.
However, after actually finding Uzumaki Kanako, Kaito still couldn't bring himself to bully such a poor woman who had lost her hometown and was being bullied in the Kusagakure Village.
So he changed his idea and wanted to bring Uzumaki Kanako back to the Kirigakure Village as well.
This not only saves the other party from danger, but also adds a very excellent Uzumaki bloodline to the Kirigakure Village.
However, after learning about Kaito's identity.
Uzumaki Kanako would rather continue to stay in Kusagakure Village and continue to be an exploited "blood bag" than leave Kusagakure.
Perhaps it was because she herself was a victim of the war that destroyed her country, and she never thought about accepting help from Kirigakure, the culprit who directly participated in the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools.
At that time, Kaito was just a captain of the Flying Squad.
There was absolutely no thought of becoming the Mizukage or working hard for the future development of the village.
So when rejected, he just ignored it.
Let the other party continue to stay in Kusagakure Village and bear all this alone.
But now they meet again.
Kaito's identity has changed, and he has also received some help from the Uzumaki clan in the Dragon Vein World.
So he once again extended an invitation to the descendant of the Uzumaki clan in front of him.
However, after hearing what Kaito said, Uzumaki Kanako did not react too strongly.
She just used her arms to support herself with difficulty, trying to sit up.
But in the end, she just lay down again helplessly, staring at the dense teeth marks on her body again and again.
Kaito also looked at the tooth marks on the other person's body.
And the bloodless skin and somewhat dull and yellow hair.
It is hard to imagine what kind of devastation the Uzumaki clan, who are famous for their huge vitality and chakra, have suffered to fall to this point.
Perhaps in her heart, even if she went to the Kirigakure Village, it would be no different from being in the Kusagakure Village?
Thinking of this, Kaito was ready to explain a few words.
"If you come back to the Kirigakure Village with me, there will be no restrictions on you. Even if you don't want to continue being a ninja, you can choose to take some money and live the life of an ordinary person."
"As long as you stay in the Kirigakure Village and live well in the future and pass on this bloodline, I will have no other requirements for you."
For Kaito, the way Kusagakure was using the Uzumaki clan to its full potential was simply a waste of resources.
The Kirigakure Village has no shortage of medical ninjas, nor does it need Uzumaki Kanako's insignificant combat power.
As long as the Uzumaki clan's bloodline is integrated into Kirigakure, they will be able to accept it even if the clan is not rebuilt.
Or perhaps Kaito himself couldn't explain it clearly.
Was it out of pity for the woman in front of him that he chose to help and take her in?
Just when Kaito wanted to briefly mention Nagato's existence.
Not only did that sentence touch Uzumaki Kanako, she actually regained her spirit, forced herself to sit up straight again, and looked at Kaito.
"I still have a daughter in Kusagakure Village, can you please save her?"
Although there was only this one sentence, the hope in her eyes and her trembling, whispering lips seemed to contain endless pleading.
Kaito looked at the woman in front of him who was clearly determined to die, but because of her daughter, she reached out again to grab a corner of her "former enemy".
He couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.
"Of course. I will send someone to bring your daughter back. I will take care of the Kusagakure issue."
After hearing Kaito's affirmative answer, Uzumaki Kanako finally put down the burden in her heart.
She knew Kaito's current identity, so there was no need to choose to deceive her at this time.
Then she murmured something softly, as if she wanted to tell Kaito, or to reassure herself.
"Her name is Karin, and she has beautiful red hair. She did not inherit the Uzumaki family's surname, and she doesn't know her own life experience. She is still young and can start all over again. She should have a better future, she..."
Uzumaki Kanako's voice became smaller and smaller, and her hand loosened the corner of Kaito's clothes and let it hang down limply.
Until the end, even Kaito, who was so close to her, could no longer hear the words she said.
Until finally, the sound gradually faded away.
This woman, until this moment, clearly has vitality several times stronger than that of an ordinary person.
Just like that, she died quietly.
Kaito just stood there, watching the woman slowly close her eyes.
He did not choose to use medical ninjutsu to treat her.
Because he knew that Uzumaki Kanako's death was not just caused by physical pain, but more by her own spiritual choice.
"Well"
