Kushina and Minato Namikaze returned to the village with two Kumogakure ninjas, immediately attracting the attention of the gatekeeper ninjas.
Soon, ANBU ninjas appeared and took away two Kumogakure ninjas.
"Kushina, the Third Master wants to see you, please come with me." Nighthawk came to Kushina's side, and then looked at Namikaze Minato beside him: "Minato-kun, I hope you can keep this matter a secret. Don’t spread the word.”
"Yes." Namikaze Minato was a little confused, but still nodded in agreement.
After a while, Kushina followed Nighthawk to the Hokage's office.
"Kushina, are you okay?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with concern.
This time it was a near miss.
It's just that he didn't expect that Kushina's strength was far beyond his expectations, and the red chakra that surged out of her body at the critical moment was undoubtedly the power of the Kyuubi.
"Thank you, Lord Third, for your concern. I'm fine." Kushina's tone was a little stiff.
"I'm sorry for frightening you. I didn't expect Yunyin to be so bold! This matter was my dereliction of duty. I should have sent more people to protect you. I shouldn't have let you live on the outskirts of the village."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked apologetic. After all, he was kidnapped in Konoha Village, and it was normal to feel resentful.
"No, I think the Third Generation should remove the Anbu who are protecting me. I don't need protection. This incident was my own carelessness and I don't blame anyone else!"
Kushina's expression was cold. If most people saw the third generation apologizing like this, they would definitely be greatly moved. However, she felt very uncomfortable when she thought of ANBU ninjas arriving at the border in advance to fortify themselves.
She wanted to work hard to integrate into Konoha, but to Konoha, she was an outsider after all.
Of course, she was mainly angry with herself for being so careless and simple-minded!
"This..." Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly. Could it be that Kushina discovered the ANBU who was secretly monitoring the ANBU? It's just that these ninjas are all elites in the ANBU. How could they be discovered by Kushina? Could it be... ....
Thinking of Kushina's sudden burst of chakra and breaking free from the rope, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart moved.
Although the three members of Kumogakure are only at the level of Jonin, there is only one possibility for Kushina to easily win one against three at this age.
"Kushina, can you use the Nine-Tails chakra?" Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but ask.
"I can only use a little bit, and it was the chakra left by Grandma Mito that helped me. Kyuubi said that if I died, it would die too, and it found me quite pleasing to the eye, so it gave me a little chakra."
Kushina answered according to Kyuubi's reminder.
"Is that so?! It turns out to be Mito-sama." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, basically believing what Kushina said.
After all, with Mito's strength, it is very possible to leave some backup.
However, Kushina must be hiding something. Considering that she was not in a good mood right now, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not ask any further questions.
In his opinion, Kyuubi's behavior is a relatively normal act of self-preservation. Although the tailed beast can be resurrected after death, it will take several years, or even longer.
And will be in a weak state after resurrection.
This is also the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the ANBU to wait for Kushina to be kidnapped to the border before taking action.
If the situation worsens to a certain extent, as a last resort, Kushina and Kyuubi die together. As long as he, the Sannin, and White Fang are still there in Konoha, when Kyuubi is resurrected, he can still catch Kushina while he is weak. .
During the buffering time, a new container can be found.
Of course, this was the worst case scenario and he certainly didn't want that to happen.
As for the fact that Kyuubi had accepted Kushina and voluntarily gave her chakra to use, he had never thought about it. After all, even Mito couldn't do it.
Thinking back to those days, when Mito was victorious, he was able to stop Hashirama and Madara when they were in conflict. One can imagine how strong the Nine-Tails chakra is.
According to Mito, if Kyuubi cooperates voluntarily, the amount of chakra she can use will be more than ten times greater!
Of course, this is impossible.
The perfect Jinchuuriki only exists in theory.
"Grandma Mito's chakra allowed me to awaken part of the Uzumaki clan's sensory abilities. I'm safe now!" Kushina frowned and said angrily.
"This...I promise you, you can go back and rest first." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
Before this happened, Kushina still respected him.
Tonight's behavior itself was a bit self-defeating. It was better to agree to Kushina's decision, which could also repair the cracks in the relationship between the two parties.
Although most of the Uzumaki clan have more chakra than ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration.
However, once the bloodline ability is activated, and abilities such as the Vajra Blockade and Kagura Mind Eye are awakened, the speed of practice will be greatly increased.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want Kushina to become the second Uzumaki Mito, but he still wanted her to master some of the Nine-Tails' power.
In this way, even if it does not go to the battlefield, it can still be used as a means to deter enemy countries.
"By the way, didn't you say you wanted to go out on a mission before? I approved it. Let's do this. After a while, you will form a team with Orochimaru's team."
Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, Kushina's strength has reached the threshold set for her before, and then all she needs to do is arrange some simple tasks for Orochimaru.
"Then thank you so much, Lord Third, I'm going back." Kushina bowed slightly, then turned and left.
...
On the way back.
Kyuubi said: "Your performance is not bad. The third generation has no ill intentions towards you. It seems that this incident was a premeditated 'coincidence'."
"I don't care what other people think of me. Only by being strong can I control my own destiny and protect the people I love." Kushina looked firm.
"Hmph!" Kyuubi snorted, but there was a smile in his eyes. He could feel Kushina's thoughts. What happened tonight might be a good thing for her.
"Kyuubi, thank you so much for today. Without you..."
Kushina said gratefully.
Kyuubi curled his lips: "I just don't want to die with you."
"You guys are just like Bai Yu said, you are not honest at all! You obviously care about me so much, but you are always tough-talking!"
Kushina said.
After bickering with Kyuubi, she felt much better.
"Who cares about a human being? Don't push yourself too far, you little brat!" Kyuubi said angrily.
"By the way, Kyuubi, I want to ask you a question."
"What?"
"Do you have a name? Is it just Kyuubi?"
"..." Kyuubi fell into silence.
Name...Only that person knows his name, but he has been dead for hundreds of years.
"What's wrong? Don't you have a name?"
Kushina was a little confused.
Kyuubi asked, "Why do you want to know my name."
"When friends get close, they must be called by their first names. I can't always call you Kyuubi."
Kushina looked like it was natural.
"Friend..." Kyuubi's heart palpitated. Maybe it was like what the white feather kid said. It had already accepted Kushina deep in its heart, but it just didn't want to admit it.
"Why don't I pick one for you? Your fur color is very similar to Big Orange, why not call it Big Orange too? How about it?"
"Who is Daju?"
Kushina: "Big Orange is a dog I used to raise."
"You are the dog! Your whole family is a dog!" Kyuubi was furious, and any trace of emotion in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Then it's too pitiful that you don't have a name, right?"
"My name is Jiu Lama! What big orange?!"
"Then... Nine Lamas! Please give me your advice in the future." Kushina said with a smile.
hateful!
Fell into a trap!
Kushina took a bad example from that white-feather brat.
Kyuubi's teeth were itching with hatred. For the sake of face, it pretended to be indifferent and said:
"Just don't cause me any more trouble in the future."
"Yes!" Kushina nodded heavily and walked home much more briskly.
