Sasuke looked at the hand Naruto stretched out, but didn't respond. He just turned around on his own and, riding the hawk, flew toward the Uchiha clan grounds.
Naruto gave a helpless smile, then saw Sasuke flying off farther and quickly shouted, "Hey, Sasuke, wait for me!"
With that, he hurried to chase after him.
He fled, he chased, before long, the two had returned to the gate of the Uchiha clan grounds.
Kushina, who had already made all preparations and was waiting to see Konoha go boom with an explosion, found that everything was calm and peaceful.
She folded her arms across her chest, somewhat dissatisfied as she looked at the two flying back.
"Son, I was still waiting to see you set off fireworks, why'd you stop halfway all of a sudden?"
Naruto scratched his head awkwardly, "Mom, because Sasuke didn't want me to blow it up, I didn't blow it up, haha."
Kushina's gaze naturally shifted to Sasuke, who had just jumped down from the hawk.
That face wasn't unfamiliar to her. She'd seen it once when visiting Mikoto's home.
At that time, she had wondered: a handsome, cold little guy suddenly rushing over to hug Mikoto and even calling her mom, wasn't that just taking advantage of her Mikoto?
Turns out, Sasuke really was Mikoto's son.
Thinking of this, Kushina angrily walked forward and gave Naruto another punch.
"Naruto, look at Sasuke. Crossing over to another ninja world, he still knew to care about his mother, even made a special trip home to see her, to eat the food she cooked."
"And you? You and Minato, father and son, kept me in the dark. Do you even have a conscience?"
Naruto clutched his head, crying injustice. So-called, a true friend won't die alone, to avoid being lectured by his mom, he simply sold his dad out.
"Mom, at the time I didn't even know who you were. I asked Dad, but Dad no matter what just wouldn't tell me… If I had known about you, I absolutely, absolutely would've come to see you!"
Kushina had already been angry, and hearing this made her even angrier.
Even though she had long known Minato had hidden the truth from Naruto, knowing was one thing, actually hearing these stabbing words still made her mad.
Clenching her fist, she growled, "Damn you, Minato, I…"
Naruto and Obito instantly felt a chill, silently mourning three seconds for their father and teacher.
But, at the same time as she was angry, Kushina also felt deep heartache.
Her son had grown so big, yet didn't even know who his mother was. Why?
Wasn't it all because of hateful Konoha, hateful Sarutobi Hiruzen, hateful Danzo's doing.
The plan to blow up Konoha, which she had just been distracted from, now resurfaced in her mind.
Kushina said, "Naruto, even if you don't do it today, I will. Konoha, I have to blow it up!"
For a moment, Naruto hesitated.
He looked toward Sasuke. After all, earlier it was Sasuke who stopped him, and he didn't know what Sasuke thought about this matter now.
Sasuke showed a completely indifferent expression. Just now, he only didn't want Naruto to do some pointless foolish thing just for his sake.
Seeing this, Naruto let out a breath of relief, thought a bit, then said, "Mom, how about you blow it up yourself? That way, you can also use the chance to get in sync with Kurama."
Kushina thought about it and realized it made sense. She immediately looked at the little Nine-Tails, lying on her shoulder already dozing off.
"Kurama, don't sleep. Didn't you say you'd lend me your power when necessary?"
"Well, I need your power now!"
Kurama woke up in an instant. It rubbed its eyes and sat upright.
Though it had gone into a fake sleep state just now, in truth it hadn't really fallen asleep. It had only been too bored and rested a bit.
Its sensing had always been spread outward, secretly listening to all the information, so it knew what had happened.
It couldn't help but mock.
"Woman, you humans are really complicated. Once, you were loyal to Konoha, even willing to burn yourself out, sealing me at the cost of losing your freedom."
"But now, you're turning around to blow up Konoha!"
Kushina said, "Before is before, now is now. Kurama, just say it. Are you in or not? Don't think that without you I'd have no power. You should know, I am Uzumaki Kushina!"
Nine-Tails gave a big yawn, then perked up.
"Other things, with you being this unreasonable, I'd definitely refuse. But talking about blowing up Konoha… I've long disliked that village. So… freely use my power!"
"Take note, the first synchronization can only last five minutes. Woman, make it quick and decisive!"
With that, Nine-Tails didn't hesitate, it leapt up and instantly dove into Kushina's body.
Kushina couldn't help but close her eyes. All of a sudden, her blood-red hair flew upward, and a powerful pressure burst from her whole body.
The next moment, fiery red chakra surged out from her body, then quickly turned golden. The golden chakra kept shifting shape until finally it became a gorgeous, dazzling, shining golden robe, wrapping her whole body.
Her robe billowed. Feeling that overwhelming, inexhaustible chakra within her, she couldn't help but sigh, "So this is the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki mode? Really strong."
Then, she looked toward Obito, spinning once in front of him on purpose to show off her Nine-Tails chakra cloak, "Brat, how does my Kurama Mode compare with Naruto's?"
Obito paused slightly.
"Big Sis, do you want the truth?"
Kushina said, "Speak your mind."
Obito laughed, "Big Sis's Kurama Mode possesses the full Nine-Tails, more complete than Naruto's half Nine-Tails that I saw before."
"No doubt, in this mode, your aura is terrifying, far beyond Pain."
"Pain destroyed Konoha with a single strike, faintly surpassing the Kage level limit, so I think whoever surpasses Pain can be considered 'Super Kage'."
"Big Sis, you're far beyond that, so in the realm of Super Kage you count as the top tier. Even if you include both ninja worlds, aside from a handful of Six Paths-level powerhouses and Madara and Hashirama, you're already among the strongest."
Kushina was quite happy. After all, who doesn't like being praised?
But right away, she noticed the problem, "So, compared to Naruto then?"
Obito laughed.
"Maybe, still not as good. That time, Naruto with only half the Nine-Tails gave me a terrifying pressure, so much that I couldn't help but break into a sweat. That feeling, Big Sis, you didn't manage to give."
Kushina froze, looked toward Naruto. On the one hand, she felt proud. After all, that was her son. On the other hand, she was a bit unwilling.
"But didn't you also say, Naruto only had half the Nine-Tails, while I have the full one."
Obito said, "Maybe, the strength isn't only Kurama, but also Naruto. Naruto, after all, is Asura's reincarnation, same as Senju Hashirama."
"To use Hashirama as an example, what was strong was never Wood Release, but Hashirama himself. Big Sis, do you understand?"
