Based on the intelligence she had gathered, it was even harder for a Jinchūriki to gain freedom than it had been for her.
Kushina was the only one who could still hop around every day. Sunagakure's Jinchūriki had it truly miserable.
"Right."
After hugging Pakura, Kushina grabbed her bowl and chopsticks without even washing her hands and began wolfing down her food. Between mouthfuls, she did not forget to explain:
