This time, Kushina decided to first investigate what people around Naruto thought of him.
She really wanted to know how Naruto had been doing all these years.
However, if she asked Kakashi directly, she might not get the correct answer.
If she asked Naruto.
Naruto might not tell the truth to avoid making her worry.
Therefore.
Only by disguising herself and asking ordinary passersby could she get the real answer.
To make it more convenient, Kushina transformed into an ordinary Ninja again.
Then.
She began to inquire about information in various shops.
"That brat Naruto is really annoying!
He actually pranked me while I was on a mission.
Because of him, the cat I just found ran away again!"
Kushina's method of inquiring about information was very simple and crude.
She would complain about Naruto in shops near his home.
If the Boss knew Naruto, there was a high probability they would join the conversation.
Indeed.
After hearing Kushina's words, the Ninja tool shop Boss indeed joined the conversation.
"Has that demon fox brat started pranking again?
Hmph~
He hasn't improved at all.
I thought he would get better after becoming a Ninja~
I didn't expect him to still be the same."
"Demon fox brat!?"
Kushina nearly went berserk upon hearing that.
Fortunately, she managed to hold back in the end.
"You don't know?"
The Boss immediately looked at Kushina very cautiously upon hearing her question.
Then he looked at Kakashi, who was beside Kushina.
"Kakashi, who is this lady?"
"Uh…"
Kakashi gave an awkward laugh.
"She was originally a Ninja from another Village.
She joined our Village not long ago.
I'm showing her around to familiarize her with the area."
"I see."
The Boss nodded, "I thought she was a spy from another Village~
Otherwise, how could she not know that Naruto is the demon fox?"
"Boom!"
Kushina's hair instantly bristled.
At this moment, she was truly enraged.
From the Boss's words, she could gather a lot of useful information.
First, the news that Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was known throughout the Village!
Second, the villagers didn't understand what a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was; they merely treated Naruto as the Nine-Tails' Incarnation!
Third, Naruto often played pranks in the area.
Fourth, most people around him thoroughly disliked Naruto!
Fifth, Naruto's purpose in playing pranks must have been to gain attention from others.
As a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki herself, she naturally understood the feeling of becoming one.
That lonely, oppressive feeling almost suffocated her!
Fortunately.
At that time, only a very few individuals knew about her being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
She also did not suffer discrimination and exclusion from the Konoha Village villagers.
But even so, she had already found it very difficult.
From this, it was clear.
How hard Naruto's life had been.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen!"
Kushina roared, then rushed directly towards the Hokage Building.
"Master's wife!"
Kakashi's heart fluttered as he watched Kushina's figure disappear instantly.
He quickly followed.
Chapter 34: That Year, Those Events, Sarutobi Hiruzen's Apology! [First update, please give fresh flowers and collect]
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a loud bang.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's front door was shattered just like that.
A Red Hair woman rushed in.
Konohamaru rushed out upon hearing the noise.
Then he saw a woman with flowing Red Hair, her face filled with anger, standing at the doorway.
"Who… who are you!?"
Konohamaru was a little scared, but he still pulled out a kunai and looked at the unfamiliar Red Hair woman very cautiously.
Subsequently.
He seemed to have thought of something.
Then he pointed at Kushina and shouted, "It's you!
You're the woman who helped Sasuke fight the snake!"
"?"
Kushina's anger paused slightly.
She couldn't quite understand what the brat was talking about.
"Whoosh!"
With a soft sound, Kakashi finally caught up.
"Master's wife!
Don't be impulsive!
There's some misunderstanding here!"
Konohamaru was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
He couldn't understand why Kakashi called that Red Hair woman 'Master's wife'.
Just at this moment.
Asuma also rushed out of the room.
"Who is it…"
Asuma hadn't finished his sentence when the cigarette in his mouth dropped to the floor.
"Ku… Kushina!?"
Asuma was stunned.
He couldn't understand how someone who had clearly died could appear before him so full of life.
"Could it be Edo Tensei!?"
He thought of this possibility.
But then he felt a bit confused.
"No, that's not right!
Edo Tensei usually summons relatively powerful Ninjas.
Kushina's strength is indeed very strong, but…
But she's not *that* strong!"
"Asuma~"
Just as Asuma was dumbfounded, Kakashi, who was beside him, spoke, "Quickly go call the Third Hokage!"
"No need."
Kushina snorted coldly.
Then she strode directly into the room.
Asuma had originally wanted to stop her, but he was held back by Kakashi.
"Kakashi, what exactly is going on!?"
"It's a long story, let's go inside first."
Kakashi shook his head, then quickly followed.
…
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew his time was running out.
So.
He planned to spend the last period of his life with his family and observe the Village.
Currently.
He was sunbathing in the courtyard.
Although he didn't know what had just happened.
However, since Asuma had gone there, he presumably could resolve it.
However, just as he was thinking this.
He suddenly heard a very familiar, yet very unfamiliar voice.
"Third Hokage!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head upon hearing the voice.
Then he saw a very familiar figure.
"Ku… Kushina!?"
