Mirai nodded. Was Uzumaki Mito there? What? He had not seen her in a long time! He did not know where her right hand was being treated. If she had recovered, he did not want to keep relying on the strength of a single arm!
Grandma and Mirai soon arrived at the Senju clan's main courtyard. As the war continued, the place had become even more desolate. There were many concealed work sites around it; without Grandma's confirmation, no one would be allowed inside!
"Grandma! Big Sister!" A voice as clear as a songbird rang out after the two entered the courtyard. Kushina had not seen Mito in a long time, and now she saw Mirai beside her. "Mirai, it's been a long time!"
"Yes, Kushina!" Mirai nodded. He was not surprised that Kushina was no longer attending school. With war breaking out, it was inevitable that Konoha would have spies. Kushina was important, so naturally she had to be protected!
"You've improved greatly!" Grandma said to Zhang Xina. Rather than looking happy, she seemed sorrowful and somewhat sad. Kushina had just noticed the two of them, and both had improved greatly! But Zhang Xina was stronger, proving that she had enough strength to become the next one. Her grandmother was about to die.
Kushina, her face filled with reluctance, noticed Grandma's expression as well, but she did not know how to speak! She did not want to be left alone.
They did not even ask whether she was willing! That would turn her into a monster!
But how could she resist in this situation? The Uzumaki Tide Village had been destroyed! She could only rely on Uzumaki Mito, her grandmother in name. Yet this clan grandmother was going to turn her into a monster! She was already in despair
