Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

Mito Uzumaki couldn't help but sigh again. How could she not know how painful loneliness was, now that she was all alone?

...

The next day.

Kushina Uzumaki headed to the Ninja Academy full of confidence.

Kushina Uzumaki secretly resolved that she must become friends with Chiba today.

If you don't want to...

Kushina Uzumaki, with her clever little brain, immediately came up with a solution.

I beat her until Qianyu was willing to be friends with her!

However, Kushina was disappointed when she arrived at the classroom, because Chiba was not at the Ninja Academy today.

Kushina Uzumaki didn't know anyone there, so she couldn't ask Chiba where he had gone.

On the contrary, those brats who got beaten up by Kushina Uzumaki yesterday are looking for revenge today.

However, when it comes to fighting, Kushina Uzumaki has never lost.

The hot-tempered Kushina Uzumaki, her long red hair flowing, used her fists to beat the brats until they couldn't fight back.

Three days passed in a row.

Kushina Uzumaki beats up these brats who dare to provoke her every day.

However, Kushina Uzumaki was depressed for the past three days.

Because Chiba hadn't attended ninja school for the past three days, Kushina Uzumaki's plan to make friends was forced to be put on hold.

Meanwhile, Chiba was still lying in the ninja hospital.

Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took out a pipe, took a puff, and asked, "How is Chiba? Has she woken up?"

An ANBU member appeared behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, kneeling on one knee to report, "Chiba is still unconscious!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and said, "It's been four days and he still hasn't woken up? What did the ninja hospital say?"

The Anbu reported, "Chiba's chakra is severely depleted, and his meridians are damaged to varying degrees. At the same time, his muscles are also strained to varying degrees, especially the muscles in his hands and legs. These muscle strains are caused by the Lightning Release ninjutsu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe, took a deep drag, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "So, the destruction of that forest was indeed caused by Chiba. It seems that Chiba has mastered an incredible Lightning Release ninjutsu. Has the medical ninja mentioned when Chiba will wake up?"

"He should wake up by tomorrow at the earliest!"

After putting down his pipe, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Report to me as soon as Chiba wakes up."

"Yes!"

The operatives vanished instantly.

...

Ninja Academy has let out, but Chiba still hasn't shown up, much to Kushina's disappointment.

Kushina Uzumaki packed up and prepared to return to Mito Uzumaki's mansion.

Just as Kushina Uzumaki was about to leave the classroom, she noticed a gaze fixed on her.

Kushina Uzumaki thought that those brats were dissatisfied and wanted to cause him trouble again, so she suddenly turned around.

However, it wasn't those brats, but Minato Namikaze, who was still in his seat, looking at her.

Minato Namikaze blushed and immediately lowered his head when he was discovered by Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina Uzumaki raised her fist menacingly and waved it, threatening, "If you dare mess with me, I'll beat you up!"

After making the threat, Kushina Uzumaki tossed her head and left without looking back.

To be honest, Kushina Uzumaki looked down on Minato Namikaze because she felt he was too effeminate.

Moreover, on her first day in class, not wanting to be looked down upon and wanting to leave a deep impression on her classmates, she shouted out the bold declaration, "I will become the first female Hokage!"

But Minato Namikaze stood up and said he wanted to be Hokage too, as if to say to her, "Don't even think about it, you can't be Hokage. Even I, a sissy, am more likely to be Hokage than you."

Therefore, Kushina Uzumaki disliked Minato Namikaze very much.

After Kushina Uzumaki left, Minato Namikaze pouted, feeling a little aggrieved, not understanding why Kushina Uzumaki disliked him so much.

Kushina Uzumaki returned to Mito Uzumaki's mansion.

"Grandma Mito, I'm back."

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki looking so dejected, Mito Uzumaki chuckled and said, "Looks like Chiba didn't come to school again today, right?"

Kushina Uzumaki has been looking like this every day since she came home from school these past few days, so it's hard for Mito Uzumaki not to know.

Kushina Uzumaki sat down in a chair and said dejectedly, "Yeah, I finally mustered up the courage, but Chiba didn't show up at all. Now I'm almost out of courage."

Mito Uzumaki shook her head helplessly: "Kushina, now that you've made up your mind, you can't give up halfway."

"I know, I don't plan to give up, but Qianyu hasn't shown up yet, how can I be friends with him?"

Kushina Uzumaki scratched her head in apparent distress.

Mito Uzumaki said with a smile, "I know where Chiba is~"

Chapter 8 Kushina's Declaration

Kushina Uzumaki heard Mito Uzumaki say that she knew where Chiba was.

Kushina Uzumaki hurriedly asked, "Grandma Mito, where is Chiba?"

"He's at the ninja hospital. It seems he was injured while training and has been unconscious for several days. You can..."

Before Mito Uzumaki could finish speaking, Kushina Uzumaki rushed out of the room impatiently.

"Grandma Mito, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back!"

Mito Uzumaki watched Kushina Uzumaki leave with a look of affection.

Yesterday, Hiruzen Sarutobi came to visit and inquire about Kushina Uzumaki's situation. Mito Uzumaki specifically asked Hiruzen Sarutobi about Chiba.

When Mito Uzumaki learned that Chiba might have been injured and unconscious due to training and had been in a ninja hospital for several days, she was extremely surprised.

If cultivation can lead to being hospitalized, what level of cultivation would one need to reach to be unconscious for several days?

However, Mito Uzumaki clearly sensed that Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude was somewhat different.

Previously, Hiruzen Sarutobi had acted as if it was unimportant when he mentioned Chiba.

When we talked about Chiba yesterday, it seemed like Hiruzen Sarutobi was starting to take Chiba seriously.

Although she didn't know what had happened, Mito Uzumaki thought it was a good thing.

Mito Uzumaki actually felt indebted to Kushina Uzumaki.

After all, Kushina Uzumaki came to Konoha with the aim of becoming the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Mito Uzumaki also felt somewhat guilty towards Chiba.

Because Chiyu has half of the Senju clan's bloodline in her body.

As the wife of the former patriarch of the Senju clan, she was unable to protect Senyu.

Mito Uzumaki also knew very well why Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted Kushina Uzumaki to transfer to the class where Chiba was.

In that class, there was a genius ninja, Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze was a commoner ninja with a clean background. It is said that Jiraiya, one of Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciples, planned to take Minato as his disciple after he graduated.

Hiruzen Sarutobi once told Mito Uzumaki that he wanted Kushina Uzumaki to develop a bond with Konoha, to identify with Konoha, and to become a part of Konoha.

Minato Namikaze was the person Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to be a bond with Kushina Uzumaki, someone who would help Kushina develop a sense of belonging to Konoha.

As a commoner ninja, Minato Namikaze did not belong to any ninja clan in Konoha. In other words, Minato Namikaze belonged to the Hokage faction.

This also prevents any ninja clan from harboring any designs on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Mito Uzumaki had no reason to stop Hiruzen Sarutobi's plans, nor could she stop them.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi was the Hokage, while she was merely the wife of the First Hokage.

However, Mito Uzumaki favors Chiba more than Minato Namikaze.

The reason is simply that Chiba is a descendant of the Senju clan, and Mito Uzumaki is considered Chiba's elder.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi is interested in Chiba, then if Kushina Uzumaki were to end up with Chiba, the obstacles would be less.

Chiba, who was not recognized by the Uchiha clan, also did not belong to any ninja clan or faction in Konoha.

A hint of determination flashed in Mito's eyes.

Her time is coming to an end, but at least she can see Kushina Uzumaki come of age.

If Kushina Uzumaki and Chiba can really get together, then she is willing to lend them a hand.

...

Kushina Uzumaki excitedly ran to the ninja hospital.

Since she didn't know which ward Chiba was in, Kushina Uzumaki asked the busy medical ninja.

Inquiring about Chiba's hospital room went surprisingly smoothly, but the attitude of the medical ninja made Kushina Uzumaki very uncomfortable.

"Ah, that traitor, he's in the ward at the very end of the corridor."

That look of disgust and tone of voice made Kushina Uzumaki feel suffocated.

Kushina Uzumaki walked to the innermost ward.

Since Chiba was unconscious, Kushina Uzumaki simply opened the door and went inside.

Kushina Uzumaki saw Chiba lying flat on the hospital bed, his hands and feet bandaged. There were no flowers or fruit on the bedside table, not even a glass of water.

Only the instruments were beeping.

Kushina Uzumaki felt a pang of sadness seeing Chiyu's expression.

Kushina Uzumaki forced a smile and said, "I've come to see you, Chiba."
