Chapter 519 Separation, Embrace
"Can you tell me what happened back then?"
"Okay." Uzumaki Kushina said gently.
Then she began to tell Uzumaki Naruto her past stories.
How she came to Konoha Village.
How I met Minato.
After a while, Uzumaki Kushina stopped talking.
"Naruto, are you listening?"
Uzumaki Naruto: "Great."
"Great."
"Mom is a big beauty with beautiful red hair, it's wonderful."
Hearing this, Uzumaki Kushina smiled and said, "Naruto, you're the third person to compliment your mother on her beautiful hair color."
Naruto: "Did the other two people say the same thing?"
"Yes." Uzumaki Kushina said, "The first one is Minato. That is, your father."
"The second one is Musashi."
"Boss?" Uzumaki Naruto was stunned.
Uzumaki Kushina smiled, and then continued to talk about her love with Minato.
"That was when I first came to Konoha. My classmates were jealous of my mother's red hair and said her hair looked like a rotten tomato."
Uzumaki Naruto: "Swoosh!"
"So it was Dad who stood up and protected you, right?"
Uzumaki Kushina: "No!"
"I fought back against everyone who called me out for my hair color! If anyone dared to call me a rotten tomato, I would turn him into a rotten tomato."
Uzumaki Naruto: "...Is that so..."
Uzumaki Kushina: "It wasn't long before I got a new nickname, 'Blood Red Pepper'."
The corner of Uzumaki Naruto's mouth twitched.
It seems that women with red hair are not easy to mess with.
I remember that Karin also had the nickname "Red Flame Cobra" in school.
Uzumaki Kushina: "...One day, on my way home, Kumogakure came to Konoha and suddenly kidnapped me."
Uzumaki Naruto was shocked, and then realized that this was already a thing of the past.
Listening to how Uzumaki Kushina was treated by Kumogakure, he said with some realization, "No wonder."
Uzumaki Kushina asked in confusion, "Why not?"
Uzumaki Naruto: "No wonder the boss has always had a bad attitude towards the Kumogakure ninja."
"Someone from Kumogakure came to Konoha before, and the boss almost went and killed them directly."
Uzumaki Kushina chuckled, "Really?"
"I didn't expect the little guy's temper became so bad after I left."
"Little...little guy?" Uzumaki Naruto's eyes twitched.
There was no way to connect the muscular and awesome appearance of Suzumiya Musashi with the 'little guy' mentioned by Uzumaki Kushina.
As Kushina Uzumaki narrated her experiences in Konoha, she told Naruto Uzumaki about them. The image of his mother became clearer and more real in Naruto Uzumaki's mind.
Uzumaki Kushina hugged Uzumaki Naruto tightly.
"Naruto, I love you."
"Love you."
Uzumaki Naruto closed his eyes again.
"I know."
"I really do. The boss told me."
"Musashi?"
"That really surprises me. By the way, Naruto, tell me about your experiences over the years."
Uzumaki Naruto began to tell Uzumaki Kushina about his experiences over the years.
An orphan since childhood.
The attitude of fellow villagers towards the so-called "fox demon".
The 'care' of the Third Daime Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Upon hearing this, veins popped up on Uzumaki Kushina's forehead and her fists were clenched so tightly that they made crackling sounds.
This old thing from the third generation!
How did you promise me in the first place!
Uzumaki Kushina cursed in her heart.
Naruto continued his story.
When he talked about his chance encounter with Suzumiya Musashi when he was four years old, tenderness flashed in his eyes.
Knowing that Suzumiya Musashi could keep his distance from Naruto, the clever Uzumaki Kushina easily understood the cause and effect of the matter.
The fourth generation orphan was able to be raised as a fox demon by the third generation. Suzumiya Musashi is a thoughtful child who must be full of concerns and a strong sense of urgency.
Uzumaki Naruto didn't know about the confrontation between Suzumiya Musashi, Danzo, and the Root, but Uzumaki Kushina, as Konoha's Jinchūriki, could easily understand the former's situation at that time.
How difficult would it be for an orphan of an intelligence spy, a survivor of the Aoba Project, to get close to his teacher as the son of a Jinchūriki?
Slowly, as Naruto told the story, everything Suzumiya Musashi did was known to Uzumaki Kushina.
Her eyes became redder and redder.
I feel both relieved and touched.
She didn't expect that the disciple she accepted on a whim, the child with a particularly high ability to withstand pressure, would become Naruto's only support.
She even wondered with some fear what Uzumaki Naruto would look like today if there was no Suzumiya Musashi.
She was deeply moved.
As her emotions fluctuated, she felt that her time was running out.
So we said our final farewell.
"Naruto, thank you."
"Thank you for making Minato and I a father and mother."
"Grow up well."
"Be happy."
"Don't be like that guy Musashi, who's so obsessed. Keep it simple, and you'll be happier."
"Goodbye Naruto."
"I love you."
Uzumaki Kushina was gone.
Suzumiya Musashi, who was sitting outside, felt a gust of wind.
Like a gentle embrace, it stayed by my side for a moment.
He vaguely heard a gentle voice in his ear and wanted to reach out and grab it, but to no avail.
There seemed to be a moment of warmth in his arms, as if an invisible figure was hugging him.
Suzumiya Musashi extended his hand.
He didn't let go of his hand for a long time, until the warm feeling dissipated and the voice in his ears disappeared.
Beyond the waterfall.
Might Guy's eyes were slightly red from glaring at him, but he still didn't see the other side of him.
Finally, the waterfall began to surge.
Might Guy's eyes widened with excitement, only to find that it was the depressed Suzumiya Musashi.
My mood instantly dropped.
He still cares about Suzumiya Musashi.
"Musashi, what's wrong with you?"
"What happened?"
"Nothing." Suzumiya Musashi composed himself.
"Brother Kai, haven't you waited for the other side of yourself yet?"
Mentioning this, Might Guy became dejected again.
"Don't mention it."
"I feel like my significant other might be sleeping in. Maybe if we wait a little longer he'll come out."
Suzumiya Musashi could only let him wait.
Wait and wait.
Waiting for the water to splash.
Waited to see a human-shaped shark-like monster.
Might Guy: "Nani(owo?)!!!"
He was shocked.
"Is my other side so ugly?"
This is too ugly!
At the same time, the shark-like monster, that is, the transformed Kisame, quickly looked around after appearing.
What did he see?
Saw Might Guy.
I saw Suzumiya Musashi!
In addition, in the waterfall behind him, there is Killer Bee and Uzumaki Naruto who has just turned into a minion.
In an instant, an idea emerged in Kisame's mind.
run!
Run as fast as you can! Run as far as you can!
The enemies here are so numerous and weird that he can't handle them all by himself! He can't even fight them at all!
So he started to run away!
He ran away, and Might Guy chased after him.
"Don't run!"
"My other side!"
"Let's have a showdown of youth!"
