Outside Tsunade's Mansion~
The sun gradually sank from the sky, its crimson afterglow illuminating the simple, elegant courtyard. The surroundings were quiet and peaceful.
Kushina Uzumaki had heard Grandma Mito say that Uchiha Lei would be back soon, so she secretly planned to go and surprise him.
Kushina Uzumaki opened the door and stepped out of Tsunade's Mansion, gently closed it, then formed hand seals in a blur and left with the Body Flicker Technique.
Meanwhile, inside the mansion~
Mito Uzumaki, who knew everything that was happening, sat quietly on the sofa, sensing the three ill-intentioned Kumogakure ninja with the Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
"Kushina is too rash. This is a good opportunity to let her suffer a little, so she can settle down in the future."
The three Kumogakure ninja in an alley near Tsunade's Mansion also vanished with the Body Flicker Technique, following closely behind Kushina Uzumaki.
On Konoha's red rooftops~
With excitement on her face, Kushina Uzumaki leaned forward slightly, darting across the red rooftops like a red phantom.
I wonder if Lei is thinking about me right now. I suddenly really want to hug him.
I bet he must be thinking about me. I really want to see him soon.
The three Kumogakure ninja followed closely behind Kushina Uzumaki, their eyes filled with greed.
"Boss, why did we suddenly have to come capture this little girl? We already have a Jinchūriki!"
"Because she's also connected to that legendary Uchiha Lei. This will give us a hold on his weak spot."
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! That's our boss for you. We're killing two birds with one stone!"
"..."
As Kushina Uzumaki passed through the bustling Shopping District~
She happened to run into Minato Namikaze, who had bought some daily necessities and was about to head home.
