----------
It can be seen that the girl was very excited, and even her eyes had turned red. She stared at Ishigami Hara's hair color, and her eyes were full of expectation.
"No."
Ishigami Hara's answer was very direct.
As expected, when she heard the answer, the girl's expression suddenly became lost, and tears fell from her red eyes.
Ishigami Hara had a guess about the identity of the girl in front of him. If his guess was correct, the girl in front of him should be related to Karin. As for what the relationship was, Ishigami Hara was still unsure.
"But."
Ishigami Hara spoke again: "Although I am not from the Uzumaki clan, I have the blood of the Uzumaki clan."
"My name is Ishigami Hara, and my ancestors had an alliance with the Uzumaki clan."
"And I have also received the favor of the Uzumaki clan, so strictly speaking, you can regard me as a member of the Uzumaki clan."
Nawaki echoed on the side and nodded: "Yes, this guy is the heir of my grandmother, and inherited the legacy my grandmother left in Konoha. And this guy's sealing technique is the true teaching of the Uzumaki."
Hearing this, the girl couldn't help but look at Ishigami Hara twice more, and then she thought of something and asked Nawaki: "Your grandmother? Is it that Lord Mito?"
"Of course."
Nawaki nodded proudly, his grandfather and grandmother have always been his pride.
"So that's it."
Unconsciously, the girl looked at Ishigami Hara with a touch of intimacy in her eyes.
"My name is Uzumaki Kanao."
The girl introduced herself, and it was obvious that she wanted to talk to someone, but it was obvious that Nawaki was not a good person to talk to, so after meeting Ishigami Hara, she couldn't help but tell her story again.
In this way, Ishigami Hara knew what happened to the girl in front of him.
Just as Ishigami Hara expected, Uzumaki Kanao was a member of the Uzumaki tribe who escaped after the destruction of the Uzumaki Country. The few tribesmen who escaped scattered all over the place. Uzumaki Kanao's parents died on the way to escape, leaving only her to drift to the Grass Country.
For safety reasons, Uzumaki Kanao planned to take root in the Grass Country, and the Grass Village took her in, which is why Uzumaki Kanao wore the Grass Village forehead protector.
As for her situation in the Grass Village, it can only be described as a tool.
Ishigami Hara glanced at her arms covered by long sleeves and almost understood her situation.
"You, you still don't want to go back to Konoha with me?" Nawaki asked.
Uzumaki Kanao gritted her teeth slightly, but said: "Since the destruction of the Uzumaki Country, and Konoha did not lend a helping hand, Konoha can't be my destination."
It can be seen that Uzumaki Kanao has a lot of opinions about Konoha watching the destruction of the Uzumaki Country. Maybe it can't be said that she hates it, but she doesn't have any good feelings at all, which is quite embarrassing.
At least when it is said so bluntly, Nawaki's face has already been embarrassed.
"This child is a survivor of the Uzumaki. If you can, help her."
In his mind, Senju Tobirama, who had been silent for a long time, spoke at this time.
Ishigami Hara just simply hummed, and said to Uzumaki Kanao: "If you are willing to believe me, come back to Konoha with me after the war is over."
Uzumaki Kanao was silent and did not agree or refuse.
The relationship between the two had not reached that point yet, and they were not familiar with each other. Ishigami Hara had even prepared to be rejected, but looking at the girl's appearance, there was still room for discussion.
"I promised Master Mito that I would help the Uzumaki clan. Now that we have met, I cannot ignore your case. By the way, there are also clan members in my Ishigami clan who have activated the Uzumaki bloodline. To be honest, you are not alone."
Nawaki also remembered at this time and hurriedly said: "Yes, I don't know if it is the Ishigami family, but there is actually another Uzumaki clan member in the village, Uzumaki Kushina, do you recognize her?"
Uzumaki Kanao was startled, then said in surprise: "Is it Sister Kushina?"
Ishigami Hara said: "Yes, Uzumaki Kushina. She is living well in Konoha. If you are willing to go back to the village with us, you can meet her after you go back."
Uzumaki Kanao took a deep breath and said to Ishigami Hara: "Anyway, I am your prisoner now, do I still have the right to choose?"
Nawaki opened his mouth to speak, but Ishigami Hara smiled and answered straightforwardly: "Of course not."
"That's it." Uzumaki Kanao snorted coldly.
Ishigami Hara smiled and looked up at Nawaki, and said: "I'll leave her care to you."
"Huh?"
Nawaki's eyes widened immediately, and he refused to do it.
"I don't want to, I'm still a wounded soldier, I don't want to take care of her."
"Humph!"
Uzumaki Kanao turned her head away immediately.
Ishigami Hara had already seen that there was something going on between the two of them, and even the injury on Nawaki's eye socket was related to it, but what did this have to do with Ishigami Hara? He waved his hand and was about to leave.
"Okay, you guys are busy, I have something else to do, I'm leaving."
"Hey, don't go, you guy, don't go."
Nawaki yelled, but Uzumaki Kanao grabbed his arm immediately.
"Let go, let go."
Ishigami Hara had already left at this time and did not intend to interfere with the affairs between the two. In his opinion, the two now had a bit of a happy enemy dynamic, and it would be inappropriate for him to disturb them.
"Lord Second Hokage, if this continues, Nawaki should not have to worry about family problems in the future," Ishigami Hara said in his mind.
He was responded to by silence, and Senju Tobirama obviously did not intend to respond to this.
"It's a pity that the Lord Second Hokage did not leave any bloodline..."
"Humph, I have given my whole life to Konoha, and I don't need my own bloodline," Senju Tobirama said.
"Sure enough, you are worthy of being the Lord Second Hokage."
While speaking, Ishigami Hara came to the tent where the command was located, and several people inside were discussing the next war with Orochimaru.
"Hara-kun, what are your plans for the next battle?" Orochimaru asked.
Ishigami Hara asked: "Where are the Iwagakure shinobi and Kumogakure shinobi? Have you explored them?"
"They have a separate camp next to Kusagakure, and the two sides are not far away."
Ishigami Hara nodded and said directly: "Then take the initiative to attack, don't give them too much time."
Orochimaru was surprised: "Are you confident?"
Ishigami Hara smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have experience in dealing with Jinchūriki."
"Great."
Orochimaru also smiled: "Okay, then let's talk about how to take the initiative."
