Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

The door opened quickly.

To Kushina's great surprise, it was Minato Namikaze who opened the door.

Kushina Uzumaki frowned deeply: "What are you doing here?"

Minato Namikaze scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "It's Chiba and Kushina. I'm here with Miyuki to visit Lord Mito."

Miyuki Uzumaki was also in the room.

Kushina Uzumaki was puzzled as to why Minato Namikaze would accompany Miyuki Uzumaki to visit Mito Uzumaki.

Qianyu looked thoughtful.

In fact, after Chiba found Uzumaki Miyuki, she realized that the future 'Naruto' would very likely be Uzumaki Miyuki's child.

Because Kushina Uzumaki's other half is him now, and Chiba would never allow her future child to become a chosen one.

Therefore, Chiyu had speculated that Miyuki Uzumaki's husband might be Minato Namikaze.

Therefore, Chiba was not surprised when she heard Minato Namikaze say that he had come to visit Mito Uzumaki with Miyuki Uzumaki.

On the contrary, I have a feeling that this is how it should be.

Chiba and Kushina Uzumaki entered the room.

Minato Namikaze naturally returned to Miyuki Uzumaki's side, the two standing very close together, seemingly very intimate.

Chiba was somewhat surprised. Although she had expected it, she had not anticipated that Minato Namikaze and Miyuki Uzumaki would make such rapid progress.

Chiba and Kushina Uzumaki looked at Mito Uzumaki on the bed.

At this moment, Mito Uzumaki looked extremely weak, as if she was only hanging on by a thread.

Mito Uzumaki turned her head to look at Chiba and Kushina Uzumaki, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth: "Chiba, Kushina, you're here."

Upon seeing the aged and frail Mito Uzumaki, Kushina's eyes involuntarily reddened: "Grandma Mito..."

Mito Uzumaki comforted her, "Don't cry, Kushina. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order, and no one can avoid them."

Then Mito Uzumaki looked at Chiba and said, "I didn't expect Hiruzen to summon you back. Although I am very weak now, the chakra stored in my Yin Seal is enough to seal the Nine-Tails. And you don't need to worry, this matter will not change."

Mito Uzumaki said to Miyuki Uzumaki, "Miyayuki, I'll leave the rest to you."

Miyuki Uzumaki nodded in agreement, "I will be a good Jinchūriki for Konoha, so please rest assured, Mito-sama."

"Wait!" Kushina Uzumaki looked at Miyuki Uzumaki in disbelief: "Miyuki? Why? Why are you becoming a Jinchūriki? Shouldn't it be me?"

Miyuki Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze, and Mito Uzumaki all glanced at Chiba instinctively.

Kushina Uzumaki finally understood what Chiba meant when he said "I succeeded" before leaving the house.

Chapter 154 Learning the truth

Kushina Uzumaki finally understood what Chiba meant by 'success'.

Just as Chiyu was about to explain to Kushina, Miyuki spoke first, saying to Kushina, "Kushina, all of this was of my own free will. The Hokage made me learn sealing techniques from you and Mito-sama."

After I demonstrated my sealing techniques and my talent as a member of the Uzumaki clan, I was told that I was more suitable to become the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

I agreed to become the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki. After all, there's nothing wrong with becoming the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki. The Hokage promised to conceal my identity as a Jinchūriki and to give me a better life.

Kushina, do you know? Since the fall of the Land of Whirlpools, I have been living a life of displacement. I have no power, and as a member of the Uzumaki clan, I am coveted by many. If it is discovered that I am a member of the Uzumaki clan, I will not have a good end. So I live in constant fear every day.

Now that Konoha has given me a peaceful life, I want to repay Konoha. Besides, I know that Chiba has been working hard for you. Kushina, you are my only friend, and I also want to become a Jinchuriki. Isn't this a win-win situation?

Kushina Uzumaki looked at Miyuki Uzumaki through teary eyes: "Miyuki..."

Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief.

If Miyuki Uzumaki can help him keep it a secret, that would be best.

However, I do owe Miyuki Uzumaki a favor.

Mito Uzumaki turned her gaze to Minato Namikaze: "Minato, I'm counting on you to take good care of Miyuki from now on."

Minato Namikaze said with a determined expression, "I definitely will!"

After giving the four a few instructions, Mito Uzumaki said, "The future belongs to you, and it's time for me to go find Hashirama. Alright, you can go ahead and get on with your work."

Just as Chiba was about to leave, Mito Uzumaki suddenly said, "Chiba, don't forget our promise."

Chiyu replied, "I won't forget."

Kushina Uzumaki was in a bad mood, so after saying goodbye to Miyuki Uzumaki, she returned home with Chiba.

Kushina Uzumaki curled up on the sofa and buried her head in her knees.

Chiyu sat down next to Kushina Uzumaki. Just as Chiyu was about to comfort Kushina, Kushina suddenly looked up at Chiyu with red eyes.

Chiba felt inexplicably guilty under Kushina's gaze.

Kushina Uzumaki asked, her voice trembling slightly, "Chiba, you and Miyuki have known each other for a long time, haven't you?"

Qianyu's expression froze.

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki on the verge of tears, Chiba sighed and truthfully told her, "I found Miyuki Uzumaki and brought her to Konoha..."

Kushina's pupils contracted; she had assumed that Miyuki met Chiba after arriving in Konoha.

Kushina Uzumaki guessed that Chiba took the initiative to contact Miyuki Uzumaki after learning about her Uzumaki clan identity.

However, unexpectedly, it turned out that Miyuki Uzumaki was brought to Konoha by Chiba himself.

Chiba told Kushina Uzumaki everything.

Kushina Uzumaki was completely stunned.

Mito Uzumaki, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo...

For her sake, Qianyu actually faced so much pressure all by herself.

Kushina Uzumaki hugged Chiba tightly: "Chiba... thank you. Don't hide things from me anymore. I should know. We should be honest with each other."

Chiyu patted Kushina Uzumaki's head: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I should have told you earlier, but I saw that you and Miyuki Uzumaki became friends. I know you are a very sentimental person, so I didn't know how to tell you. I was afraid you would think I was a ruthless person."

Kushina Uzumaki rested her head on Chiba's shoulder: "No, I would never think that way, it's just... Miyuki took my place as a Jinchūriki, Miyuki is my good friend, I feel so bad, Chiba, could you..."

Before Kushina Uzumaki could finish speaking, Chiba immediately refused, "No!"

Chiba said seriously to Kushina Uzumaki, "If you feel indebted to Miyuki Uzumaki, we can make it up to her in other ways."

Miyuki Uzumaki was right. If I hadn't found her, she would indeed be living a life of displacement and utter humiliation.

When I found her, she was receiving relief food in the Land of Grass, and she was terrified after I revealed her identity.

If I hadn't brought her to Konoha, her future life would have been extremely miserable.

The physique of the Uzumaki clan, and indeed any special physique or bloodline limit, would not end well if discovered in the ninja world.

So I made a deal with Miyuki Uzumaki, and she agreed to it.

Now that the Hokage has agreed to replace the Jinchuriki with Uzumaki Miyuki, it is absolutely impossible to propose another replacement.

It's now a done deal that Miyuki Uzumaki will become the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki; there's no going back, and I absolutely will not allow any further changes!

Qianyu's tone left no room for argument.

After nearly ten years of planning, and with success on the horizon, Chiba absolutely cannot allow this crucial moment to go wrong, nor can he allow Kushina Uzumaki to become the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.

Kushina Uzumaki sighed.

She knew that once Qianyu made a decision, it was difficult to change it.

Kushina Uzumaki stood up from the sofa: "Chiba, what would you like for dinner?"

Seeing that Kushina Uzumaki was no longer dwelling on the issue, Chiba smiled and said, "I'll go with you."

Kushina Uzumaki shook her head: "I'll go by myself this time. I want to visit Miyuki while I'm at it."

Chiyu replied, "Alright then, I'll wait for you at home. We'll have beef curry rice and miso soup for dinner."

"Okay, stay home and wait for me."

Kushina Uzumaki left her home and went to Miyuki Uzumaki's house.

When Kushina Uzumaki arrived at Miyuki Uzumaki's house, she saw Minato Namikaze coming out of Miyuki Uzumaki's room.

"Miyuki, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, eh, Kushina?"

Miyuki Uzumaki spotted Kushina Uzumaki not far behind Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze nodded to Kushina Uzumaki, then left.

Minato Namikaze knew that Kushina Uzumaki, like Chiba, disliked him very much, so he nodded as a greeting.

Miyuki Uzumaki quickly walked up to Kushina Uzumaki and asked, "Kushina, why are you at my house instead of at home with Chiba? Come on in."

Miyuki Uzumaki welcomed Kushina Uzumaki into her home.

After pouring Kushina a glass of water, Miyuki asked, "Kushina, is there something you need from me?"

Kushina Uzumaki put down her water glass, looked earnestly into Miyuki Uzumaki's eyes, and said, "Miyuki, I came here to apologize to you. I'm sorry."

Chapter 155 Miyuki Uzumaki's Past

Kushina Uzumaki found Miyuki Uzumaki and sincerely said 'I'm sorry' to her.

Upon hearing Kushina's apology, Miyuki asked in surprise, "Why are you apologizing to me? If it were about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, there would be no need for that at all, because it was my own choice."

Kushina Uzumaki said guiltily, "Chiba has already told me everything. I know everything. It was Chiba who found you from the Land of Grass and brought you to Konoha. I also know about the deal between you and Chiba..."

Miyuki Uzumaki's eyes widened slightly as she asked in confusion, "Chiyu told you? How could that be? Given his personality, he shouldn't have let you know, making you worry and feel guilty."

Kushina Uzumaki twisted two fingers together: "Actually, I realized that Miyuki and Chiba might have known each other for a long time, so I asked Chiba, and Chiba told me everything."

Miyuki Uzumaki chuckled and let out a long sigh: "So you saw through Kushina. But even so, there's no need to apologize to me, because this was a transaction. Chiba gave me the life I wanted, and I became a Jinchūriki."

Kushina Uzumaki shook her head: "But Chiba told me that when he brought you to Konoha, he didn't explain to you that he brought you to Konoha because he wanted you to become a Jinchūriki."
