Meeting Kushina was not actually easy.
Previously, Mu Yue would usually have the Anbu pass along a message when they delivered meals at mealtime to arrange a time.
But now that Mu Yue held a somewhat special status in the Anbu, the process could be simpler. He no longer needed to make appointments only at fixed times.
Near the meeting place, Mu Yue spotted Kushina standing beneath a large tree.
Perhaps because she wanted to compete with Mu Yue, aside from their first meeting, when Mu Yue had arrived earlier, Kushina had generally been the first to arrive afterward.
Though Uzumaki Hualing did not know what Kushina looked like, the moment she caught sight of that vivid red hair, she had a feeling that this was the Uzumaki Kushina Mu Yue had mentioned.
"Kushina, good afternoon." Mu Yue walked up with a smile and greeted Kushina.
Kushina had intended to reply, but her attention was drawn to Uzumaki Hualing beside Mu Yue.
Kushina rubbed her chin and carefully examined Uzumaki Hualing, several guesses arising in her mind.
Since Mu Yue had brought someone to meet her, there were only two possibilities. Either that person was closely related to Mu Yue, or she was related to Kushina.
Uzumaki Hualing silently looked at Kushina. Even before they began talking, she could clearly sense the difference in their personalities.
After looking over Uzumaki Hualing, Kushina looked at Mu Yue again.
"Uzumaki Hualing, a survivor of the Uzumaki Clan."
"Mu Yue, so you really do like red hair. I thought..."
They spoke at the same time. Mu Yue introduced Uzumaki Hualing, while Kushina voiced her guess.
"Thought what?" Mu Yue put on a puzzled expression as he looked at Kushina.
When he had first met Minato Namikaze and Kushina, he had complimented Kushina's hair
