But this was a critical time. The Third Shinobi World War had already begun, and barring any surprises, Minato Namikaze would marry Zihan Uzumaki within the next two years. Naruto's birth would not be far off after that.
Although the Nine-Tails was inside Kushina, there was no guarantee that Obito Uchiha would not target Zihan Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze after turning to darkness. Qingyun would at least have to wait until Naruto was born safely and Minato Namikaze's Family was out of danger before he could travel the shinobi world with peace of mind and search for that so-called Kara organization.
Moreover, after Naruto was born, Qingyun would need to separate the Nine-Tails out. Kushina had never been able to master the Nine-Tails' power perfectly, always falling short of the Nine-Tails' gold body mode and Sage Fox Mode. Qingyun suspected that the Sage of Six Paths was behind this. Otherwise, with Kushina's talent, there was no way she could not reach that level.
Thus, Qingyun planned to extract the Nine-Tails from Kushina after Naruto's birth. One of the five White Zetsu had been prepared for her, which was also the main reason Qingyun had asked Madara Uchiha for them.
While Qingyun was thinking about these things, Kushina arrived at the Death Forest. Seeing him frowning in thought, she did not disturb him. After cleaning his room, she sat down beside him.
"You're back? Was taking them on missions tiring?"
Seeing Kushina sitting beside him, Qingyun asked gently.
"Not too bad. Their current strength is decent. It's just that little brat Asuma Sarutobi keeps pestering me to take them to the battlefield. It's so annoying!"
Kushina pouted as she complained to Qingyun.
Qingyun smiled and shook his head. "Asuma really hasn't had a taste of how harsh the world can be.
