Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

Chiba felt extremely disdainful at the thought that Mito Uzumaki said his feelings for Kushina Uzumaki were genuine.

Ultimately, in Mito Uzumaki's heart, Konoha's interests came first, and even her clansmen were not as important as Konoha.

How did the Uzumaki clan, a staunch ally of Konoha, disappear? Chiba once learned about the origins of the Land of Whirlpools' destruction from Orochimaru.

The Uzumaki clan made significant historical contributions to the peace and development of Konoha Village. They were the driving force behind the formation of the Will of Fire, and the practitioners and inheritors of the Will of Fire.

However, due to the fear of the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan by other races, many countries and races launched an invasion of the Land of Whirlpools, resulting in the devastation of the Land of Whirlpools. The surviving members of the clan went into hiding and scattered throughout the world.

Konoha remained completely unmoved by the Land of Whirlpools' plea for help, choosing instead to wait and see.

Even after the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, no ninjas were sent to provide support.

Chapter 92 Knowing

Konoha remained indifferent when the Land of Whirlpools, a staunch ally of Konoha, was destroyed.

Chiba heard Orochimaru say that Konoha was not incapable of supporting the Land of Whirlpools at the time.

It's just that supporting the Land of Whirlpools doesn't align with Konoha's interests.

Because so many countries and ethnic groups have attacked the Land of Whirlpools, if Konoha were to provide support, a large number of ninjas would need to be dispatched to the Land of Whirlpools, and Konoha's losses would likely be severe.

Moreover, supporting the Land of Whirlpools wouldn't bring any benefits to Konoha.

Mito Uzumaki possessed all of the Land of Whirlpools' most important sealing techniques.

Mito Uzumaki controls it, which is equivalent to Konoha controlling it.

Therefore, Konoha chose to turn a blind eye and watch helplessly as the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed.

Now, in order to save the Nine-Tails, they specifically sought out Kushina Uzumaki to come to Konoha, so that Kushina Uzumaki could become the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki for the sake of Konoha.

Chiba felt she should have realized it sooner; Mito Uzumaki would never agree to his request.

Chiyu took a deep breath, gave a strange chuckle, and murmured, "In the end, I still have to rely on myself. I need to find Karin's mother first, otherwise I'll have to leave early."

...

Early the next morning.

Chiba went directly to Mito Uzumaki's mansion to pick up Kushina Uzumaki.

Mito Uzumaki did not appear, which seems to imply that Chiba took Kushina Uzumaki away.

Chiba went straight to Kushina Uzumaki's room and knocked on the door.

I knocked for a long time, but there was no response.

Qianyu frowned slightly and pushed the door open to go inside.

Seeing that Kushina Uzumaki was still in bed, Chiba breathed a sigh of relief.

Chiyu approached Kushina's bedside and whispered, "Kushina, wake up."

Qianyu called out several times.

Kushina Uzumaki covered her head with the blanket and remained motionless for a long time.

Hearing a faint sob, Chiba immediately pulled back Kushina's blanket.

Chiba noticed that Kushina's eyes were bloodshot and blurry with tears.

Chiba asked anxiously, "What happened, Kushina?!"

This was the first time Chiba had ever seen Kushina Uzumaki cry.

Kushina's tears made Chiba very flustered.

Kushina Uzumaki sobbed, "I... I overheard your conversation with Grandma Mito yesterday..."

Qian Yu was startled.

Did Kushina Uzumaki overhear his conversation with Mito Uzumaki last night?

Mito Uzumaki has Kagura's mind, doesn't she?

If Mito Uzumaki were to discover Kushina Uzumaki, she definitely wouldn't let her listen, at least not now.

In other words, Mito Uzumaki did not find Kushina Uzumaki last night.

"You've also awakened Kagura's Mind's Eye?"

Kushina Uzumaki nodded slightly.

In addition to her extraordinary sensory abilities, Kagura's Mind's Eye also allows her to conceal her chakra when in danger, giving her the power to escape from all perils.

After returning to her room last night, Kushina Uzumaki used Kagura's Mind's Eye to sense that Chiba was walking towards Mito Uzumaki.

Kushina Uzumaki knew that Chiba didn't like Mito Uzumaki and was even quite resistant to him.

So, Kushina Uzumaki, who was very curious about Chiba going to see Mito Uzumaki, used Kagura's Mind's Eye to hide her chakra and secretly went over to eavesdrop.

After eavesdropping, Kushina Uzumaki's entire worldview was shattered.

Although she didn't know what the Nine-Tails or Jinchuriki were.

However, it is clear that she came to Konoha for a reason that was originally brought there.

The reason Kushina Uzumaki was brought to Konoha at the time was that 'Konoha and the Land of Whirlpools are allies, and Konoha is looking for orphans of the Uzumaki clan to live in Konoha.'

Konoha took her in, and Mito Uzumaki adopted her, all so that she could become the vessel for the Nine-Tails.

Qianyu has been trying to find a way to prevent this from happening.

Kushina Uzumaki finally understood why Chiba had never liked the kind and gentle Mito Uzumaki; it was all because of her.

"Chiyu, will I become the vessel for the Nine-Tails?"

Chiyu reached out and stroked Kushina's cheek, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said firmly, "Kushina, I promise you, you will never become a Jinchūriki, and no one can force you to become one!"

Qianyu silently made a vow in her heart.

'I'll kill anyone who tries to force me!'

Chiyu picked up Kushina Uzumaki from the bed: "Kushina, with me here, you never need to worry. You don't need to consider these things. I'll take care of everything. Come with me and leave here. This is not your home. I'll take you to our home."

Kushina buried her head in Chiba's arms and softly hummed in agreement.

Kushina Uzumaki didn't want to stay here any longer.

Even Mito Uzumaki, whom she had always respected and regarded as a true family member, adopted and taught her with ulterior motives.

Although Kushina Uzumaki doesn't hate Mito Uzumaki, she doesn't know how to face him in the future.

Chiba left with Kushina Uzumaki.

After Chiyu and Kushina Uzumaki left, Mito Uzumaki opened the door and came out, her eyes filled with guilt, and she sighed deeply.

Chiba took Kushina Uzumaki to his apartment room.

Since being assigned this room, Qianyu herself has only stayed in it for a few days. When she opened the door, the room was full of dust and cobwebs.

Qianyu said helplessly, "It seems we need to do a thorough cleaning."

Kushina Uzumaki, who had been comforted by Chiyu along the way, was in a much better mood.

Moreover, Kushina Uzumaki is a very easygoing person; her emotions come and go quickly.

Looking at her future home, Kushina Uzumaki was full of enthusiasm: "Then let's do a big clean together!"

Chiba and Kushina Uzumaki began a thorough cleaning.

Two hours later.

The dust in the room has been swept away, and it looks very clean.

Chiba and Kushina Uzumaki were huddled together on the sofa, resting.

Kushina Uzumaki rested her head on Chiba's shoulder and asked, "Chiba, can you tell me about the Nine-Tails and its Jinchuriki?"

After pondering for a while, Chiyu told Kushina Uzumaki, "The Nine-Tails are creatures called Tailed Beasts. There are nine Tailed Beasts, each with one to nine tails. They are extremely powerful and, in the war-torn history of the ninja world, they are a terrifying existence that is deeply imprinted in people's minds along with disasters."

In order to control the power of the Tailed Beasts, humans sealed the power of the Tailed Beasts within their own bodies, intending to control the power of these Tailed Beasts. The hosts of these Tailed Beasts were like living sacrifices, hence the name "Jinchūriki".

The life of a Jinchūriki is bound to that of a Tailed Beast; if the Tailed Beast dies, the Jinchūriki will also die without a doubt.

Furthermore, becoming a Jinchūriki is extremely dangerous, as the Tailed Beasts will try to seize the Jinchūriki's body, posing a risk of losing control of their power, making it quite perilous.

Kushina Uzumaki sat up straight, her eyes fixed on Chiba's face, and said earnestly:

"Chiba, I'm willing to become a Jinchūriki!"

Chapter 93 Kakashi

Kushina Uzumaki earnestly told Chiba that she was willing to become the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki.

Chiba said in a deep voice, "Kushina, absolutely not. If you want to repay Mito Uzumaki, you can do it in other ways, not by hurting yourself like this. I will never agree to let you become a Jinchūriki. I will never agree!"

Kushina Uzumaki gently hugged Chiba and whispered tenderly, "I'm not doing this for Mito-san, nor for Konoha, but for you. You've already done enough for me, and I don't want to be a burden to you anymore."

Qianyu's gaze softened, but her face remained stern.

Chiyu said to Kushina Uzumaki in an unyielding tone, "I will absolutely not agree to this. Kushina, I have said before that you will never be a burden to me, not before, not now, and not in the future."

And I don't feel tired at all. Fighting for you makes me feel energetic and full of motivation.

On the contrary, if Kushina becomes a Jinchūriki, it would completely negate my feelings for you and all the efforts I have made so far!

Kushina, you just need to trust me. I'll handle everything else. I believe I can do it, so I hope you'll always trust me!

Kushina Uzumaki nestled her head in Chiba's arms: "I believe you, Chiba. I won't bring this up again. I'm sorry."

Chiyu breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed Kushina's head, and murmured, "Kushina, I will leave Konoha sooner or later. Konoha doesn't hold any good memories for me. The only good thing is meeting you, so I will definitely take you away with me."

This place isn't our home; it's just a temporary stop. Let's wait until everything settles down, then we'll leave and find our own place to belong.

Kushina Uzumaki looked up at Chiba and said firmly, "I will always follow you, I will never leave you!"

A smile appeared on Qianyu's lips, and she felt very peaceful.
