Should I wait a while before going out? Otherwise, I might not get away either. Honestly, Kushina's trying to drag me into this.
After finishing the dishes, Uchiha Mikoto thought it over for a moment, then decided to sneak out of the kitchen.
Better Kushina than herself. Mikoto quietly opened the kitchen door, ready to slip away and leave Kushina to her fate.
