Kushina Goes to the Hokage's Office

Kushina chuckled softly, covering her mouth as she saw Kurama's reaction.

Even though there was no seal.

Kurama seemed to be in good spirits.

And Kurama hadn't attacked Naruto.

It looked like Naruto and Kurama had become good friends.

This put Kushina's mind completely at ease.

She was a Jinchuriki herself, and knew how Jinchuriki were treated in the village.

Fortunately, Naruto's identity was special, so people probably wouldn't mind, or call Naruto a monster, right?

Although Kurama and Naruto were getting along well.

There were still some things Kushina needed to ask.

Kushina took Naruto's hand and asked him, "Little Naruto, I'm your mom~"

She leaned down and reached out to pinch Naruto's cheeks, "You look so much like Minato~"

Naruto felt a bit awkward, but didn't resist.

Whether it was his past life or after transmigrating.

Naruto was an orphan.

He had never experienced family affection.

The last time the Fourth Hokage's Chakra appeared, there wasn't time to 'catch up'.

Kushina's appearance this time left Naruto a little flustered.

Kushina sensed Naruto's mood and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart.

She wasn't a qualified mother.

But the situation at the time was beyond Kushina's control.

Kushina didn't make things too difficult for Naruto.

She just needed to know that Naruto was living well and had become friends with Kurama.

That was enough for her.

Kushina asked Naruto, "Little Naruto, why did you unseal Little Nine?"

Kurama roared, "I... I told you, I'm not called Little Nine!"

Kushina made a shushing gesture towards Kurama.

Kurama: "..."

Damn humans!

Naruto then explained the situation to Kushina.

After listening, Kushina smiled kindly at Kurama, "Thank you, Little Nine."

"I told you, don't call me... forget it..." Kurama lay on the ground, utterly defeated.

But Kushina's next words made Kurama agitated.

Kushina said, "Little Naruto, even though Kurama helped you, and you've gained its trust, Mom still thinks this isn't safe."

"What?!" Kurama became agitated, "Are you saying I'll get Naruto killed?"

Let alone the fact that Naruto might be the reincarnation of Asura's Chakra.

Just the fact that Naruto trusted him almost unconditionally.

Kurama would never shame the Tailed Beasts by doing something so ungrateful.

Kushina shook her head slightly and patiently explained to Kurama, "Little Nine, Little Naruto can trust you, why can't you trust Little Naruto?"

"If you trusted Little Naruto, you wouldn't care about the seal."

"When the time comes, Little Naruto will naturally let you out."

Although she didn't know the details of what happened between Naruto and Kurama.

Kushina also didn't know how much Kurama trusted Naruto.

But what Kushina did know was.

Kurama had the ability to kill Naruto.

This was something Kushina, as a mother, could not tolerate.

Even if the probability of such a thing happening was close to zero, so what?

Naruto understood what Kushina meant when he heard her words.

Instantly, Naruto's heart warmed slightly, and he felt a little embarrassed about his earlier awkwardness.

Naruto also said to Kurama, "That's right, Kurama, don't you trust me yet?"

You have to believe it whether you like it or not.

In short, you must have this seal.

Naruto had already made plans in his heart.

He currently didn't have the ability to deal with Kurama.

While Kushina was here, he would seal Kurama first.

This would also relieve him of a major worry.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

At the same time, he could also gain Kurama's trust.

Of course, when the time for separation truly came, Naruto wouldn't hold back any words for Kurama.

Because he already had a whole Nine-Tails in his System Backpack!

Kurama's expression became uncertain.

Placed before it were Naruto's 'innocent' expression and Kushina's serious words.

Should it trust Naruto?

Perhaps it should.

Because this guy Naruto had just trusted it unconditionally!

But...

If it were sealed, Kurama felt a sense of indignation.

"Little Nine, aren't you friends with Naruto?" Kushina persuaded it. "Since you're friends, you should consider each other."

Kurama chuckled, "This is the last time I'll trust a human."

Even Kurama itself couldn't believe it.

It was actually willingly, without resistance, being sealed by a human.

Then, under Kushina's gaze.

Naruto used the Eight Trigrams Sealing on Kurama...

And it was an enhanced version of the Eight Trigrams Sealing.

Kurama felt the heavy sealing power and immediately howled, "Loosen up! I can't even see what's outside!"

"Okay, okay~" Naruto nodded repeatedly and apologized to Kurama, "It's my fault, but don't worry, Kurama, you'll be free when the time is right."

Kushina had originally intended to seal the Nine-Tails herself.

But seeing Naruto actually use the Eight Trigrams Sealing from the side.

This made Kushina even more relieved!

Kushina's Chakra was much greater than Minato's.

So, a large amount of Chakra remained within Naruto.

Kushina walked over and hugged Naruto, chattering on about a lot of things.

Naruto looked at the gentle woman, not wanting her to know what he had experienced.

But Kushina finally proposed going out to take a look...

Naruto said guiltily, "Um... Mom... maybe not?"

Calling her "Mom" made Naruto feel a bit awkward.

Kushina keenly sensed something and asked Naruto, "Naruto, did someone bully you?"

"Don't worry, Mom will handle it for you."

There was no other way.

Naruto couldn't seal Kushina in the Sealing Space as well, could he?

After Kushina came out of the Sealing Space, she used the Transformation Jutsu to change her appearance.

When Naruto and Kushina returned to the main group.

The ninja trainees had already gathered.

"Ah~ are you guys doing a Survival Exercise?" Kushina said nostalgically, "I remember back then..."

But she only spoke half the sentence before falling into a memory, as if she had remembered something.

Iruka saw Naruto appear and immediately ran over, "Naruto, why were you running around? Don't you know what just happened? What if there was danger?"

Kushina was deeply touched to see Iruka caring so much about Naruto.

Iruka also looked at Kushina.

At this moment, Kushina had transformed into her childhood appearance.

Iruka frowned, feeling that this little girl was somewhat familiar.

But she was definitely not a student at the Ninja Academy.

"Naruto, where did you find this little girl?" Iruka asked curiously.

Kushina casually came up with an excuse to brush off the question.

But Iruka saw through it.

Then Naruto and Kushina were taken to the Hokage's office for questioning.

Along the way, Kushina's expression grew increasingly stiff.

Because she had already noticed the villagers' attitude towards Naruto.

Unless someone had deliberately concealed Naruto's identity.

Otherwise, these people wouldn't have shown malice towards Naruto at all.

Could it be Hiruzen Sarutobi's doing?

As Kushina thought this, her brow furrowed even deeper
