Mito Uzumaki was not only the wife of the First Hokage and matriarch of what remains of the Senju clan, but she was also a powerful kunoichi with the ability to use the chakra of the nine tails.
No one in the village dared to mention the subject of choosing the next Jinchuriki for fear of upsetting her.
Furthermore, there was something else that no one mentioned but that everyone couldn't ignore.
Mito was a member of the Uzumaki clan, a clan that now had a Shinobi God.
Tsunade had no room in her mind to think about that, being very angry because her grandmother would die when she lost the biju sealed inside her.
"Calm down Tsunade, no one is going to force me to do that, but I'm already old, I must do this soon so I can help in the sealing process," said Mito when she saw that her granddaughter might look for Hiruzen and create chaos.
"Grandma..." Tsunade murmured when she heard what Mito said.
Although her grandmother looked very old, Tsunade had refused to think that her grandmother could leave her.
As one of the few remaining members of her family, Tsunade's heart ached when she thought of her grandmother dying.
Mito saw her granddaughter's tearful face and sighed.
Although he wanted to live a few more years to see his grandchildren grow up, the nine-tails was the strongest bijuu by a wide margin, so he shouldn't delay choosing another Jinchuriki for too long if he didn't want his sealing abilities to diminish with age.
"Grandma, Sister, I'm home!"
Suddenly, Nawaki's voice was heard from outside the house and they both decided to go out to greet him.
Tsunade took a little while to wipe away the few tears she had.

While the elemental nations were surprised and waiting to see what would happen with the appearance of a Shinobi God, the Shinobi God Gin Uzumaki was having a conversation with the 10 clan elders who one by one gave him a report on the state of the new land annexed to his country.
The land of water was one of the top 5 nations, so it had a large amount of resources.
The second elder mobilized the army to protect the newly won land and received help from the third elder to form a civil guard and maintain order.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth elders were in charge of reviewing the laws, education level, and health, while the seventh elder reviewed which land was suitable for cultivation and kept the population fed during the transition of power.
The civilians didn't care who ruled as long as they were kept fed, so most didn't cause any problems until now.
Except for a few criminals, who were subdued with extreme prejudice, no one else dared to cause trouble.
The ninth elder was tasked with reviewing the infrastructure of the ancient water country and reported that it needed maintenance or something new to be built.
All of the above was financed by the eighth elder who worked in the country's economy, and also studied the new land looking to find new sources of money for the country.
The tenth elder did not speak, but everyone knew that he would stay until the end of the meeting to report on the progress of his spy network in the ancient land of water.
Hours later, only Gin Uzumaki remained in the room, but he didn't stay there for long before disappearing.
Far from the land of the whirlpool, in the land of water, Gin appeared tens of kilometers high and looked down.
His powerful senses scanned the ancient land of water and assessed its condition.
At first glance, everything seemed normal except for the worry on the faces of the population.
As the losing side in the war, the inhabitants of the land of water were worried that the Uzumaki clan would harm and take advantage of them.
Luckily for them, the Uzumaki clan did none of that.
But even so, although they hadn't had any problems, they looked all around, ready for any situation.
Those who did have problems were the nobles, and these were topics of conversation in several meetings.
Gin had captured the nobles and checked them one by one.
Those who committed various crimes by taking advantage of their noble status were immediately eliminated.
Those who were not nobles, and whom Gin decided not to kill, he decided to erase from their minds their noble status and some other memories, and then take them to the land of whirlpools and find them a job.
When the nobles did not appear after the war, all the civilians realized that they had been eliminated.
When their businesses and lands were confiscated by the Uzumaki clan, it was confirmed that something had happened to them, and everyone was happy about it.
Many had suffered at the hands of a nobleman or by witnessing the crime of a nobleman, so they would not mourn the death of these.
In summary, all the cities were in order and many Uzumaki worked to administer the new territory.
With everything in order for the moment, Gin set his sights on the former fog village, now called fog city.
With the defeat of the Land of Water and the Village of Mist, the Uzumaki clan would take total control of the territory and the Village of Mist was no longer necessary.
Of course, many lived here because of what was called the city of fog.
In the city of fog, many people came and went, whether to their jobs, their homes, or schools.
After capturing the village population, Gin divided them into civilian population and ninja population.
The civilian population was quickly freed because of their limited power and the fact that they would not cause many problems.
Of course, many Uzumaki from the intelligence department used various seals to determine if they were lying during the interrogation, and several spies were found.
Conducting this interrogation of the village population, which was smaller than the entire country, was very easy.
Very different if he had wanted to do this to the entire population of the country.
With the civilian population examined and released, the Uzumaki clan moved on to examine the ninja population.
Here it was more complicated because obviously very few wanted to surrender to the Uzumaki clan.
The village of the mist had many clans.
El clan Hoshigaki, Hozuki, Kaguya, Momochi, etc.
They were all arrogant, and most of the members would not surrender so easily to a common enemy.
The entire ninja population of the Village Hidden in the Mist was gathered in one place a few kilometers from the new city of the mist.
The Uzumaki clan had set up camp here and surrounded the area to prevent anyone from escaping. And it's not like they can do much with their chakra sealed.
Under the watchful eyes of the red-haired shinobi, everyone behaved well, but secretly the strongest shinobi gathered around Toshiro and discussed what they would do next.
The most bloodthirsty wanted to fight to the death, but they were few, and only a few thought about long-term plans because of their families.
None of them were like those madmen who didn't think about their families. And if they fought now, their families were sure to be massacred.
Since they were still alive, the Uzumaki must have thoughts about them, so they will keep them alive.
Even if it cost them their freedom temporarily, they could take advantage of that and wait to counterattack in the future.
But unfortunately for those few, most had ideas of continuing to fight.
They were proud ninjas of the mist and no one would force them to kneel.
Toshiro remained silent while the rest gave their ideas.
The more she listened, the more she shook her head in her mind.
Toshiro was someone who had seen and felt the power of Hashirama Senju in the past, so he was sure that the Uzumaki who defeated them single-handedly had the same level of power.
Remembering how they were defeated, Toshiro cursed the day they decided to attack the Uzumaki clan.
If they hadn't attracted the attention of that monster, they wouldn't be in this situation.
His attention returned to what the others were discussing, and he shook his head the more he listened.
The only way they could fight now was if they had someone at the level of a Shinobi God, otherwise they would be massacred.
On the contrary, if they decide to wait for the future to have enough strength, several generations would pass before that happens.
By then, those generations would no longer have the identity of a shinobi of the mist.
The temporary clan leaders saw him shake his head and asked for his opinion.
Toshiro was one of the guards of the first Mizukage and was now the strongest in the village after the possible death of the Second Mizukage.
If the village had still stood, Toshiro would have taken the position of third Mizukage.
Toshiro shared his thoughts, and everyone fell silent upon hearing them.
