"I actually wanted to have my marriage prospects checked."

After Kushina finished speaking, even the usually carefree Kushina felt a little embarrassed.

She wanted to know who she could eventually get back on track with.

"Oh, I see. It's your turn."

Rin Nohara was behind Kushina, reminding her.

"Oh well."

With a nervous heart, Kushina asked the beautiful shrine maiden in front of her.

"Well... let me take a look."

Miroku looked at the commentary in his hand but did not immediately interpret the fortune for Kushina.

She overheard Kushina and Rin Nohara talking.

These two women clearly knew Kiyoshi.

Maitreya looked up at the two of them and had an idea in his mind.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was hot-tempered, and the red-haired woman who came to draw a fortune stick was also an absolute beauty.

Miroku thought of attracting Kiyoshi's attention.

"This worshipper, what is your destined partner...?"

Miroku was raised as a priestess from a young age and had long since learned all sorts of rhetoric and the "hints" to guide others.

Indeed, fortune telling is actually a form of "psychological suggestion," which uses language, facial expressions, postures, and actions to influence the psychology and behavior of others, making them accept the opinions and viewpoints of the suggester, and ultimately carry out activities in accordance with the suggestion.

This process typically emphasizes "subtlety," "indirectness," and "guidance."

Otherwise, those ignorant villagers wouldn't all be convinced by the sealing technique alone.

Her superb speaking skills, coupled with her outstanding temperament, made her words extremely convincing.

So Miroku began to say a lot of vague and ambiguous things to test Kushina.

The naive Kushina was naturally no match for the experienced Miroku's probing, feeling as if Miroku, whom she was meeting for the first time, was a mind reader.

They know exactly what you're thinking!

As expected of the renowned priestess of the Land of Demons!

Seeing that Kushina was almost convinced, Miroku began to apply his methods more deeply, which involved labeling people to make them believe him even more.

"He is a powerful ninja who also possesses space-time ninjutsu."

"Really? What other characteristics are there?"

Kushina thought of someone.

"He is a celebrated genius."

"Makes sense."

Kushina nodded. This was Minato Namikaze.

She began to feel more confident.

"He can also use the power of immortals to bless himself."

"That's true."

Kushina nodded.

The power of immortals—doesn't that sound like "immortal mode"?

It's confirmed, it's Minato Namikaze!

His name is...

Seeing that the time was right, Maitreya began to put on a serious expression.

"The name is..."

Kushina's heart also jumped, and she was just about to say Minato Namikaze's name.

"Uchiha Kiyoshi!"

"Namikaze Mizu... huh?"

Kushina was stunned, completely frozen in place.

Isn't this a little different from what she expected?

"What's wrong, worshipper? Did I say something wrong?"

The priestess then adopted her priestess demeanor, speaking with an air of authority.

"I...I want to ask, what color hair does my true soulmate have?"

"Of course it's black."

Maitreya's Way.

"Black...?"

Kushina's eyes widened.

She suddenly realized that Kiyoshi actually matched the conditions listed there.

Space-time ninjutsu, genius, the power of a sage...

Why not Minato Namikaze?

While Kushina was lost in thought, the other worshippers waiting outside were already impatient.

"Hey, what's going on? Hurry up!"

"A bald ninja shouted."

"Yeah, hurry up!"

Yuuki Mizuki echoed, his hands hanging down a withered yellow, like a piece of dead wood.

He came here only to find out if his hand could ever be healed.

A dignified Jonin, his hands were rendered useless due to a mission to the Land of Demons several years ago.

These days, even taking on low-level ninja missions is difficult enough to support a family.

"Sorry, everyone."

Kushina politely came out to apologize.

As he left, he also apologized to Nohara Rin behind him. "I'm sorry, I took up a lot of time."

"Nothing."

Nohara Rin waved her hand dismissively.

The room is very soundproof, so people outside can't hear anything inside, which greatly protects the privacy of those seeking divination.

Of course, no one dared to cause trouble here.

Behind the shrine maiden, on the left and right sides of the room, stood rows of guards.

Anyone who dares to disrespect the priestess will be arrested on the spot.

It's likely that Hiruzen Sarutobi will handle this matter seriously, as it involves diplomatic matters between the two countries.

Rin Nohara guessed that Kushina was asking for something she really wanted to know, which was why it had taken so long.

She herself was the same.

She wanted to calculate her future with Kiyoshi.

"Okay, I'm going now, Lin, goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Rin, Kushina left the bustling shrine alone.

Her mind was in turmoil, and she kept thinking about this.

Her true love turned out to be Kiyoshi.

Kushina covered her head, somewhat regretting going to the temple to inquire about her marriage prospects.

In that case, what about Minato Namikaze?

……

A few days later.

Kiyoshi led Kushina to the battlefield in Kumogakure.

Kiyoshi, who possesses the "Flying Thunder God Technique," brought Kushina to the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.

However, upon arrival, Kiyoshi was personally received by Nara Shikaku, the staff officer of the camp.

Chapter 301 The Third Power of Susanoo

"Lu Duan, go and pour two cups of tea."

Nara Shikaku said.

"Yes."

Nara Shika glanced curiously at the red-haired woman behind Kiyoshi, then turned to pour two cups of tea.

"No need to be so polite."

Kiyoshi waved his hand, but did not drink the tea.

Is there anything urgent?

Qingsi raised his eyebrows.

Could it be that the Hidden Cloud Village has launched another surprise attack?

"No, it was Iwagakure that sent a request for support."

Nara Shikaku explained to Kiyoshi.

Now that Iwagakure and Konoha have signed a peace treaty, there is no need for the two countries to continue their tense standoff.

In order to better recover from the losses caused by the war, they all chose to enter a honeymoon period, frequently trading and exchanging goods.

"Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, has defected."

As Nara Shikaku spoke, the two scars on his right cheek twitched.

"Kiyoshi, with your abilities, you are the most suitable person to handle this situation. If you can bring Rōshi back, Iwagakure will send reinforcements to Konoha."

Nara Shikaku took out a map and drew out the route that Kiyoshi took from where Old Purple started his defection.

Are there other countries like me?

Kushina asked, puzzled.

She had never met a ninja who was a Jinchūriki like herself.

"Yes, the tailed beast is also sealed inside its body."

Nara Shikaku glanced at Kushina.

Since the higher-ups have decided to use Kushina, her secret as the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki will be exposed.

He, as a strategist in Konoha, only recently learned of this.

This gives you an idea of ​​how well Kushina was protected within the village.

Furthermore, past wars have never reached the point where Konoha would need to utilize the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Kiyoshi, your teammates have been assigned here, it's..."

"No need."

Kiyoshi raised his hand.

"They're all here, right? I prefer to be teammates with people I'm familiar with."

"They're all here."
