I never expected that the first person I would see after being resurrected would be you...
Kakashi.
Have you been well all these years?
What about Naruto?
He..."
Kushina spoke as she patted the dirt off her body.
However.
She had only just begun speaking.
When she realized an extremely awkward problem—her clothes had been changed!
These weren't the clothes she had been wearing when she died!
"Could it be...
That someone changed my clothes after I died?
No...
That shouldn't be it...
Could it be...
That someone changed my clothes after resurrecting me!?"
When Kushina thought of this, her face immediately flushed red.
Then she clenched her fists tightly, and a "#" mark popped onto her forehead.
"Ma... Master's Wife..."
Kakashi immediately got a black line across his forehead at the sight.
At this moment, he was certain.
This was indeed Kushina.
"Ah~
Kakashi~
Sorry~
I just thought of something irritating~"
Kushina tilted her head with a cheeky smile. "I really didn't expect it.
I've been dead for so long.
And you've already grown this big~"
"..."
Kakashi felt like complaining at this moment.
Because he was older than Kushina now!
"By the way, Kakashi~
Where's Naruto?"
"Uh...
Shouldn't we go see the Third Hokage first?
And your resurrection is quite bizarre..."
"I don't want to bother with any of that!
Where's Naruto?
Right now, I only want to see Naruto!
Take me to see Naruto!
Don't tell me you don't know where he is!"
Chapter Thirty-Three: Finally Meeting Naruto, Kushina's Fury Erupts [Triple Update—Please Send Flowers and Collect]
"This is the place."
Kakashi brought Kushina to the front of Naruto's house with a helpless look on his face.
Because Kushina had been resurrected for unknown reasons.
Kakashi suggested that she temporarily use the Transformation Jutsu to alter her appearance.
To reduce trouble.
And make the process of meeting Naruto go more smoothly.
Kushina followed Kakashi's suggestion without hesitation.
She used the Transformation Jutsu to turn herself into an utterly ordinary female ninja.
"This is the place?
It's so shabby!"
Kushina frowned.
Her heart was filled with confusion.
"But why is it a place like this?
I remember our house wasn't destroyed...
Could the Nine-Tails have destroyed it back then?"
Although she was puzzled, she didn't think too much of it.
After all, the Nine-Tails had destroyed half of Konoha back then!
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
Two soft sounds rang out.
The next moment, the two of them arrived at Naruto's door.
Kakashi quietly picked the lock, and the two slipped inside without making a sound.
The room was a mess.
All kinds of random things had been tossed everywhere.
Several instant-noodle containers sat on the table.
A few unwashed bowls were still lying in the sink.
The various strange smells, combined with the stink of Naruto's socks, made the overall odor in the room indescribable.
Naruto seemed completely unaware of it.
At that moment, he was sprawled out on the bed, fast asleep.
"Old man!
One more bowl!
I want chashu ramen this time!"
"Grrr..."
Naruto seemed to be dreaming about eating ramen.
He muttered softly.
Then he hugged the Sasuke doll beside him and began biting it.
It looked like he had mistaken the Sasuke doll for ramen.
"Oh, heavens...
What exactly does Naruto eat every day?"
Overcome with emotion, Kushina couldn't even maintain the Transformation Jutsu and directly returned to her original appearance.
She didn't disturb Naruto's sleep.
Instead, she turned around and opened the refrigerator.
She found a lot of vegetables and fruit inside.
But they had all wilted by now.
Clearly, they had been sitting there for who knew how long.
There was also some bread and milk.
But most of it had already expired.
"Naruto...
All these years...
How exactly have you been living..."
Kushina felt like crying.
"No one to care for you, no one to love you. You don't even know when your milk has expired.
You eat instant noodles like this every day.
You clearly have vegetables and fruit, yet you don't know to eat them."
"Um..."
Seeing Kushina's reddened eyes and the tears already beginning to flow, Kakashi hurriedly spoke. "Naruto's a careless child.
We often come to check on him.
And bring him things from time to time.
But he just likes eating ramen..."
"Is that so?"
Kushina wiped away her tears.
Then she slowly walked to the bedside and quietly stared at her son, who was biting the Sasuke doll.
Before meeting Naruto, she had really wanted to see him and exchange a few words.
But after actually meeting him.
She became a little afraid instead.
Kushina hesitated slightly for a moment, but ultimately chose to give up.
"Let's go."
She slowly stood up and strode toward the door.
"Won't you say hello to him?"
Kakashi was puzzled.
"No need."
Kushina shook her head. "He must have trained very late last night.
Let him sleep a little longer~
Let's go out for a walk first~"
"Okay~"
The two left Naruto's house and began walking along the street again.
