ASFUCITWON Chapter 139: Nawaki Senju

Next to Tsunade, a boy around twelve years old stood with his arms crossed over his chest.

The boy had light brown hair and a gaze that showed a mix of curiosity and annoyance.

The child was Nawaki Senju, Tsunade's younger brother, who was always enthusiastic and full of ambition to become Hokage one day.

On a bed surrounded by dark red silk, an old woman with maroon hair lay with her eyes closed.

The wrinkles on the old woman's face showed the wisdom and experience she had accumulated over decades.

Although the old woman's body appeared frail, there was an aura of strength that still emanated from her.

This woman was not just anyone—she was Mito Uzumaki, the wife of Hashirama Senju, and the first Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi.

Beside the bed, a little girl with bright red hair stood with a confused expression.

The girl's large, curious eyes were fixed on Mito, as if searching for answers that could not be found.

The girl was Kushina Uzumaki, a child who had just been brought to Konoha as Mito's successor.

However, the tranquility in the room was suddenly disturbed.

A strong fluctuation of chakra suddenly appeared in the room.

Like an invisible whirlpool of energy, the chakra aura spread in an instant, causing the air in the room to vibrate gently.

Tsunade immediately stood up with a shocked expression.

The sharp eyes of the kunoichi Tsunade quickly swept around, trying to find the source of this foreign energy.

"What is this?" Tsunade muttered warily.

Nawaki felt a strange presence in the air, his body tensed.

Even Kushina could sense the change in the room, causing her to bite her lip and step back.

Suddenly, the figure of a young man appeared out of nowhere in the room.

The teenage boy seemed to materialize from thin air, silently and without warning, as if he had jumped across the boundaries of space and time.

A young man with short red hair, sharp eyes, and a relaxed expression stood there.

The boy's face looked youthful, perhaps the same age as Nawaki or slightly older.

The clothes he wore seemed simple, but there was an Uzumaki symbol engraved on the back.

"Brother Reiji!" Kushina was the first to react.

Kushina's eyes widened, and she immediately ran closer with a surprised yet happy expression.

"Yo." The young man named Reiji Uzumaki smiled casually, then raised his hand and gently patted Kushina's head.

Tsunade remained on high alert.

Tsunade's golden-brown eyes stared sharply at Reiji.

How could someone enter this house without them noticing?

"You!" Tsunade pointed at Reiji. "How did you get here? And what just happened?"

On the other hand, Nawaki looked angrier.

Nawaki's expression clearly showed his dislike for this stranger's presence.

"That's right! Who are you?! How could you get in here without permission?!" Nawaki shouted loudly, his fists clenched in undisguised anger.

Reiji did not immediately answer Tsunade's questions.

He slowly turned his gaze toward Nawaki with a flat expression, then squinted slightly.

"Kid, you really..." Reiji's tone sounded lazy, as if he felt it was pointless to argue with a child.

Nawaki snorted, "Kid? You're still a kid too!"

Tsunade and Kushina could only glance at the two of them, watching how they exchanged tense looks.

However, before the situation escalated further, a weak yet authoritative voice came from the direction of the bed.

"So... who are you?"

Everyone immediately turned to the source of the voice.

Mito Uzumaki had awakened.
