Chapter 319

"Oh... Iruka -yo." Hiruzen Sarutobi walked slowly over with his hands behind his back.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Iruka immediately stood up straight.

Upon hearing Iruka's reprimand, Naruto Uzumaki immediately panicked. "Oh no... it's Iruka- sensei..."

Soon, Naruto Uzumaki, who was trying to escape, was caught red-handed by Iruka.

Then, Iruka, having tied him up like a dumpling, angrily dragged him back to the Ninja Academy...

For everyone, it's just an ordinary, speechless daily routine.

For Kushina, however, it was a reunion between mother and son after many years.

She stood in the grass, gazing at the scene from afar, and wept uncontrollably.

It didn't take much time to get from Amegakure to Konoha.

Akito stood right behind Kushina, watching this scene with a cold expression.

Unlike the last time I came.

This time... Akito plans to stay in Konoha for a longer period of time to conduct on-site investigations and follow-ups.

To confirm whether the plot will develop as it did in the original work.

In order to completely defeat the ultimate bloodline theory— Naruto Uzumaki.

I must ensure that everything unfolds as scheduled.

Of course, I will still step in to make minor corrections and fix any regrets or errors in the comics.

"Alright, Lady Kushina, calm down."

Akito's cold words silenced Kushina immediately.

Many years have passed.

Kushina's appearance remained unchanged.

She still looks the same as she did when she was 24.

This is naturally thanks to the Dark Chakra.

Due to her Uzumaki Clan bloodline, Uzumaki Kushina, who was 24 years old at the time, actually looked like she was only in her early twenties.

"I... I understand..."

Kushina sobbed, trying to stop crying.

With her husband dead, Naruto is her only remaining attachment.

The child... that's my own child...

Seeing Naruto grow up healthy makes me very happy.

But...

Kushina knew.

All these visits come at a price.

"Kushina, you truly do love your child and husband deeply..."

Kushina was seen staring blankly at the Hokage Rock.

Akito added.

"No, please stop..." Kushina immediately shook her head, her face showing distress.

"Let's go then."

Akito turned around, Kushina followed immediately.

Because of the Dark Chakra, Akito can also maintain a youthful appearance.

Furthermore, due to his Body Regeneration Technique and Dark Medical Ninjutsu, Akito can freely adjust his body.

Therefore...

It's easy to adjust your face and change your appearance.

Thus, they disguise themselves as a completely different person.

This time.

Akito came to Konoha as a traveler.

As the second largest city in the Land of Fire, Konoha has a highly developed tourism industry.

Whether it's gourmet food, scenic views, hot springs, shopping malls, or theaters... all of these provide Konoha with substantial external revenue.

As for Kushina...

She temporarily changed her hair color with Dark Chakra, turning it into long, jet-black hair.

This completely reversed Kushina's character design.

Wear a sun hat to cover your face.

Further obscuring was implemented.

Finally, add casual clothes, wearing styles of clothing you've never worn before.

Kushina thus completed her "transformation".

Strolling down the street.

People come and go.

No one recognized Akito and Kushina.

Perhaps... for example, certain members of the Hyuga Clan, such as Hyuga Hiashi and others.

By some twist of fate, he might glance at Akito with his activated Byakugan and thus discern Akito powerful Chakra.

However.

The Hyuga Clan's philosophy of survival is to know everything, but say nothing.

Just like in the manga Shippuden, Hinata could see Crown Prince Naruto's heartbeat, yet the entire Hyuga Clan remained silent, as if Six Paths of Pain was a dead man.

It took many lives before the conclusion was reached that Pain was actually a corpse.

Certainly.

Perhaps the Hyuga Clan was already disloyal and unwilling to talk about it. After all, there was the incident where the heir of the Hyuga Main Family was kidnapped by the leader of the Kumogakure.

I'm hungry.

The Akito suddenly said that he was a little hungry.

"..."

Kushina's expression changed drastically.

Her lips trembled.

Clearly, she's trying to accept what's about to happen.

Since you've visited Naruto, you have to make a corresponding exchange...

Soon, Kushina began to walk with difficulty.

My legs started to tremble.

Her breathing had become heavy, and this time, she wore the same "torture instrument/ninja tool" she had used before.

Buzz...

Instruments of torture that can restrict movement speed and pace.

A low humming sound.

The effect is produced as Chakra continues to operate.

As long as it's there, Kushina can't escape immediately.

Soon.

Kushina's steps became unsteady, as if she were about to lose her balance.

A look of pain appeared on his face.

Her appearance.

This immediately attracted the attention of others.

"Um?"

The masked ninja, who was sitting under a parasol with his legs crossed, reading a Little O book, looked up.

He scratched his head of silver hair, looking somewhat puzzled.

So he got up and put away the book, "Icha Icha Paradise."

He walked over and asked, "Young man, is your companion alright?"

Kakashi greeted Akito.

"She might have heatstroke; I'm planning to take her somewhere to rest."

Smack

Akito reached out and grasped Kushina's arm.

Kushina, swaying unsteadily, did indeed exhibit symptoms resembling heatstroke.

"Yes, there are many fun places to visit in the summer, but we also need to be prepared for the weather..."

Kakashi kindly pointed out the nearest inn where people could cool off.

It means you can have a meal there.

"Ordering takeout is fine too if that doesn't work."

After offering helpful directions, Kakashi left with a smile.

He didn't recognize the two people in front of him until he left.

One person is the de facto leader of Amegakure.

One of them... was his teacher's wife Uzumaki Kushina!

No one would believe that Kushina is still alive.

After all, she had her Nine-Tails extracted back then.

It was precisely because of this blind spot in her thinking that Kushina was able to swagger in here.

Let's go.

Akito glanced coldly at Kushina, then helped the weak woman slowly into the nearby inn...

244. Kushina's decision: to stay in Konoha?

The hotel, fifth floor.

A cool breeze was blowing.

Although it's a world of ninjas, there's something called air conditioning.

I'm in an air-conditioned room, gazing out the window.

The many sights of Konoha were spread out before my eyes.

Akito sat in a chair and told Uzumaki Kushina about the things that had happened in Konoha over the years.

Kushina, of course, was kneeling on the tatami mat, diligently eating her food.

When the Akito said that the Uchiha Clan had been wiped out.

A hint of surprise flashed in Kushina's eyes.

He then started coughing.
