Mikoto Uchiha still remembered the Nine-Tails Rebellion to this day!
Konoha had been in complete chaos back then.
The Nine-Tails' rampage had happened too suddenly. Before the village could react, although she had long retired as a ninja, she still handed Sasuke over to Itachi and went to help.
In the end, the Fourth Hokage chose to seal the Nine-Tails inside his child, sacrificing himself through a Forbidden Jutsu, while Kushina... Yes, Kushina had ultimately been taken away by Obito.
That was why everyone suspected that the Fourth Hokage had truly betrayed Konoha.
Otherwise...
Why would a rogue ninja take no one else, only the Fourth Hokage's wife?
Some even suspected that if the Third Hokage had not stepped in at the end, Obito might have taken the entire Fourth Hokage family away.
Of course, as Kushina's friend, she believed that the Fourth Hokage had not betrayed Konoha.
But...
Once a tailed beast was extracted, shouldn't the Jinchuriki's life have been drained as well?
Why was the Fourth Hokage's Wife still alive?
Although Kushina had already explained it, Mikoto still found it utterly unbelievable.
Who would have thought that the tiny Kusagakure of the past now possessed Medical Ninjutsu far beyond Konoha's?!
Even Konoha could not accomplish such a thing~
Mikoto Uchiha shook her head with a bitter smile and muttered, "It seems... everyone underestimated Kusagakure~"
No wonder Kusagakure had taken Naruto away!
After all, his mother was here.
And from the looks of it, Naruto had been living quite well here. He was not hated and rejected by the entire village as he had been in Konoha.
Kushina seemed to be doing quite well too!
If Kushina had not explained things last night, Mikoto would have thought that Kushina had remarried and even had a daughter!
Just then.
