Kushina heard footsteps approaching rapidly behind her, and then she was suddenly hugged.
"Mommy, is that Mommy?"
Kushina turned her head slightly, unable to see Naruto's face, but without a doubt, Kushina knew this was her son.
It's already this tall!
"Naruto, it's Mommy! Lift your head and let Mommy see your face."
Naruto obediently raised his head. Ever since he saw Minato in the sealed space, Naruto had wondered if he could see his mother here as well.
Naruto's frequent trips to the sealed space stem not only from Naruto desire to have sex with Nine-Tails, but also from a hidden hope of seeing his mother.
Kushina Uzumaki saw was Naruto with tears in his eyes, which made her Kushina Uzumaki and heartbroken.
"Naruto, don't cry. It's not cool at all. Come on, smile."
Naruto obediently wiped away his tears, saying as he did so.
"I'm just so happy! I knew I'd see Dad here, and I'm sure I'd see Mom too!"
Before he could finish speaking, Naruto wiped away his tears. The excitement of seeing his family made Naruto reveal his true feelings. While he was still in the middle of it all, Kushina Uzumaki wanted Naruto to smile, so Naruto had to put on the expression he had practiced for a long time.
With lingering glimmers of light in his eyes, Naruto flashed a bright smile.
"Thump!"
Naruto was met with a devastating blow; Kushina Uzumaki's fist slammed into the top of Naruto's head.
The child has gone astray, behaving like a third-generation scumbag.
After another heartwarming interaction between mother and son, Kushina Uzumaki, having learned the whole story, looked at Shisui with an icy expression.
Konoha was never a good place for Kushina; it was just that there was someone who could fill the void in her heart, and that person happened to become the Hokage, which made Kushina Uzumaki develop a sliver of affection for Konoha.
That last trace of emotion vanished completely after learning that it was Shisui who had broken the seal.
Especially after seeing the Sharingan in Shisui's eyes, Kushina Uzumaki was reminded of the night she died and the mysterious person with the Sharingan, and her expression turned even colder.
"Naruto, you're still young and easily fooled. Stand behind me. After I chase this guy away, I'll help you seal the Nine-Tails again."
"Mom, Shisui isn't a bad person. He came to help me master the Nine-Tails' power!"
Naruto sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to explain, but this only made Kushina Uzumaki more wary of Shisui.
"Kushina Uzumaki, we came to this strange space on the Hokage's orders. If we can seize the Nine-Tails -Nine-Tails Chakra Chakra, Naruto can control it without any future troubles."
After saying that, Shisui conjured a scroll containing information about Turtle Island, which he wanted to hand to Kushina Uzumaki.
Before it even got close, a chain appeared from Kushina Uzumaki's body and knocked the scroll away.
"Don't call me senior, Hokage? If it weren't for Minato, I would have defected from Konoha long ago. Naruto is so young, and you're all so impatient? As for mastering the Nine-Tails? I've never known that mastering the Nine-Tails' power requires breaking the seal!"
In Kushina's eyes, Shisui didn't tell a single truth. Naruto wasn't even an adult yet, and he was already eager to turn Naruto into a war machine, using such a ridiculous reason.
"Kushina- senpai, please..."
"Shut up!"
Kushina's red hair began to flutter behind her, radiating a chilling aura.
"You have two choices: either leave on your own, or I'll break you up!"
Upon learning that the person who had suddenly appeared was Kushina, Shisui did not want to resort to force, especially in front of Naruto.
Hitting a mother in front of her child is something Shisui would never do.
He wanted to explain, but was ruthlessly rejected; Shisui felt like a scholar encountering a soldier.
Even if Shisui explained, it wouldn't change the outcome. Kushina truly believed in the wonders of Turtle Island and wouldn't be willing to take the risk.
Making Naruto Jinchūriki was Minato Namikaze's choice, Kushina only reluctantly agreed.
No mother wants her child to become Jinchūriki, a war machine for the village. Kushina would rather Naruto live a normal life than give Naruto power.
Now that the Nine-Tails is inside Naruto, Kushina is only thinking about setting up a secure seal.
It doesn't matter if Naruto doesn't master the Nine-Tails' power; it's better if he doesn't.
Kushina's own experience taught her that if Naruto couldn't properly control the Nine-Tails' power, he would only be confined to the village, with very few opportunities to go to the battlefield or even leave the village to carry out missions.
Kushina initially strongly resisted those days of restricted freedom, but undeniably, they were incredibly safe.
As long as Naruto can grow up safely, losing his freedom is understandable.
No mother doesn't want her child to have a good life, but Kushina knew she would soon disappear, and all she could do was ensure Naruto's safety, nothing more.
Seeing Kushina's restless expression, as if she would make her move immediately if he didn't disappear soon.
Shisui gave a wry smile. So, relying on himself really wasn't enough.
With a wry smile, Shisui gently touched his right eye.
[Transcription Seal - Open!]
With a surge of pupil energy, a figure dressed in a white robe with gold and red floral patterns appeared, his handsome face bearing a warm and inviting smile.
As they stood still, Ren, who had already taken in the entire situation, spoke up.
"Let me introduce myself, I Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Uchiha Yushu!"
