After controlling her body, Kushina once thought of rebelling and changing her situation.
But now none of that matters, Uchiha Yoichi is not here, she just saw the note he left, Uchiha Yoichi won't be back for a while, allowing her to calm down.
She actually regrets making that deal with Uchiha Yoichi, even though it was to resurrect Minato, her actions seemed akin to betraying him.
Kushina feels she's mixed up her priorities.
Does she hate?
Of course she does, but who does she hate?
Kushina finds she doesn't even have a target for her resentment. Her dark self isn't entirely wrong; she didn't refuse Uchiha Yoichi immediately, she had already agreed to it deep down.
Humans are strange creatures, sometimes like two impoverished souls without any negative issues between them.
But humans aren't afraid of poverty, they're afraid of comparison.
Minato died, Kushina was sorrowful and upset, but despite her sadness, she can still see it clearly; after all, being a ninja is a high-risk profession.
Even the Second Generation Hokage Senju Tobirama, such a strong ninja, was ambushed and killed by the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers, let alone Minato facing the legendary Rinnegan.
But when Kushina saw Uchiha Yoichi wielding the power to resurrect and successfully reviving Nawaki, she felt unbalanced.
If Nawaki could be resurrected, why not Minato?
Even knowing that reversing life and death carries a huge cost, Kushina still feels unsettled. Because she sees Tsunade, who was despairing, become happy again, why is she the only one trapped in pain.
This negative emotion, stirred intentionally by the Nine-tailed, created the current situation.
Now that it's happened, what Kushina can't accept is only her guilt towards Minato.
"I'm sorry, Minato, I didn't mean to....."
"Stop with the whining, you weakling."
Just as Kushina was sobbing, she suddenly heard a familiar voice beside her. She turned her head and found that her dark self hadn't disappeared.
"You, you..."
"I haven't disappeared? Hmph, why should I!"
Dark Kushina sneered and continued, "I was the one who revived Minato, and I'm also the one who took on the choices, why should I vanish, even giving you control of the body willingly."
At this point, Dark Kushina couldn't help but think, she actually feared that guy's Sharingan back then, how strange, had she been seen through?
And their current state is also odd, to confront face to face without the Waterfall of True, so strange, has she not completely seized the body?
"I must defeat you, using my body for such an act...."
Kushina, ashamed and angry, tried to prop herself up to deal with her dark self, only to feel her body weak and collapse again.
"Someone like you... if you can, then go ahead and try it."
After finishing, Dark Kushina sneered and vanished from Kushina's sight.
In the next moment, Kushina suddenly opened her eyes, this time she looked around and found there was no presence of Dark Kushina; the blanket was still on her, it seemed as if it was all a dream.
But it already happened, Kushina just quietly stared at the tent top, after regaining some strength, she dragged her aching body to the waterfall to clean up.
She indeed needs to stay here for a good while, as for what to do next, Kushina hadn't thought about it....

"Terumi Mei, Funaki, what do you need?"
Just entering the Mizukage Building, Terumi Mei and Uchiha Yoichi, transformed with the Transformation Jutsu, were stopped; now the Mizukage Building is heavily guarded, being inspected as soon as entering.
Terumi Mei spoke, "There's information on the Three-tailed, it needs to be reported to the Fourth Generation."
"Three-tailed... wait a moment."
A Hidden Mist Anbu spoke, and then one quickly went upstairs to report the matter to the Mizukage.
Seeing this, Terumi Mei was entirely convinced the Mizukage had been controlled, otherwise, as a Jonin herself, it wouldn't be so difficult to meet, the other must be avoiding all who pose a threat.
Terumi Mei gratefully thought, good thing she didn't transform into Ao, or else facing the Byakugan, the opponent might really hide away.
After a while, the Hidden Mist Anbu came downstairs and said to Terumi Mei and Uchiha Yoichi, "You can go up, the Fourth Generation is waiting for you in the office."
"Understood."
Terumi Mei finished speaking and then headed upstairs with Uchiha Yoichi.
