Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

Page 31

This resulted in Chiba and Kushina Uzumaki actually meeting only a handful of times in those eight months.

Although returning to Konoha this time might not guarantee seeing Kushina Uzumaki, Chiba still held onto hope.

The thought of possibly seeing Kushina Uzumaki brought a smile to Chiba's face, and he sped up his journey to Konoha.

...

Konoha.

Kushina Uzumaki, having just completed her mission, emerged from the Hokage Building.

Kushina Uzumaki rubbed her aching neck; this ninja career was completely different from what she had imagined.

Up until now, Kushina Uzumaki and her two teammates have been constantly accepting and completing easy D-rank missions, which has left Kushina feeling extremely frustrated.

"If Chiyu were here, I wouldn't care even if it was a D-rank mission."

Kushina Uzumaki pouted and muttered something before heading towards Mito Uzumaki's mansion.

It is now dusk.

Kushina Uzumaki returned to the mansion.

"I am back!"

However, Kushina Uzumaki received no response.

Kushina Uzumaki ventured deeper into the mansion and called out again, "I'm back, Grandma Mito?"

However, Kushina Uzumaki still did not receive a response.

Kushina Uzumaki stood at the kitchen doorway and murmured, "Isn't Grandma Mito here?"

Kushina Uzumaki stared blankly out the kitchen window.

Because she saw that the branches outside the window seemed to be swaying abnormally.

At that moment, three figures appeared from the window.

The ninjas from Kumogakure, whom Chiba had been worried about, appeared.

These three Cloud Village ninjas have been lurking in Konoha for many days.

They observed that Kushina Uzumaki possessed special chakra and coveted her greatly. So they seized this opportunity and prepared to kidnap Kushina Uzumaki.

Three ninja from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) slipped into the kitchen through the window.

Kushina Uzumaki, who had no practical combat experience, was terrified and ran away as fast as she could.

As Kushina Uzumaki ran, she cried out for help, "Is anyone there? Help!"

However, of the three Kumogakure ninjas who infiltrated Konoha, two were Special Jonin and one was a Jonin.

The three quickly caught up with and subdued Kushina Uzumaki.

The three Cloud Village ninjas immediately withdrew from Konoha after succeeding in their mission.

...

In the forests of the Land of Fire.

Kushina Uzumaki's hands were tied behind her back. Two ninjas walked in front, while another ninja led the way behind her, holding a rope.

Kushina Uzumaki walked forward with a blank stare in her eyes.

Now they are getting further and further away from Konoha Village and closer and closer to the border of the Land of Fire.

Kushina Uzumaki accidentally stepped on a stone and fell to the ground.

The ninja behind her roughly pulled the rope, forcibly lifting Kushina Uzumaki from the ground.

"Hey! Stop slacking off! Keep going!"

Kushina Uzumaki clutched the bell Chiyu had given her tightly in her hand, secretly shaking it and hoping for a miracle.

But they were almost at the border, and the miracle still hadn't happened. Kushina Uzumaki felt despair and tears started flowing uncontrollably.

The thought that she would never see Chiyu again in the future made Kushina Uzumaki feel an unbearable pain in her heart, as if it were being ripped out.

In despair, Kushina cried out, "Chiba!"

"Shut up!"

Just as the Cloud Village ninja behind Kushina Uzumaki was about to punch her, the other ninja was about to deliver the punch.

Suddenly, the sound of thunder and lightning echoed through the woods.

"Thunder Breathing·Fourth Form·Distant Thunder!"

The three ninjas from Kumogakure only saw a flash of lightning before the head of the ninja who was about to throw a punch was sent flying into the air.

This unexpected turn of events startled the other two ninjas, who immediately retreated to create distance.

Chiba appeared in front of Kushina Uzumaki.

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki in such a disheveled state, Chiba felt extremely sorry for her.

After slashing the ropes binding Kushina's hands, Chiyu reached out and stroked Kushina's face.

"I'm sorry, Kushina, I'm late..."

Kushina Uzumaki threw herself into Chiba's arms and cried loudly.

Chiyu's heart ached as she looked at the two Cloud Village ninjas who were about to attack. The killing intent in her eyes could no longer be suppressed, and her Sharingan with two tomoe was activated.

Chiyu released Kushina Uzumaki, helped her sit down against the tree trunk, and whispered as softly as possible, "Kushina, after I've dealt with them, I'll take you home."

Qianyu used a spirit summoning technique to bring the white snake to life.

"White Snake, protect Kushina."

Hearing the coldness in Qianyu's voice, the white snake didn't try to stand out and obediently coiled up beside Uzumaki Kushina.

Chiyu adjusted her breathing, her Sharingan locking onto the two Cloud Village ninjas.

When Chiba heard the bell ring, he immediately had a bad feeling and realized that something had happened to Kushina Uzumaki.

Following the bell's guidance, Chiyu stimulated her body with lightning-attribute chakra to activate it and rushed over at full speed.

Oyuu, a Jonin from Kumogakure, gleamed with greed upon seeing Chiba's Sharingan: "Sharingan! The Uchiha clan's bloodline limit?! Quite lucky, but this brat is no pushover. Atu, let's attack together!"

Special Jonin Atuichi said solemnly, "Yes, Captain!"

Oyuro and Atu simultaneously drew their ninja swords from their backs.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Flash Slash!"

Oyuro unleashed an electric attack in Chiyu's direction and instantly appeared beside Chiyu, stabbing at Chiyu's body.

"Thunder Breath·Two Type·Rice Soul!"

Qianyu unleashed a lightning-shaped five-hit combo in an instant.

The first strike severed Oyuro's ninja sword, and the remaining four strikes were all aimed at Oyuro's vital points.

Oyuro reacted very quickly, blocking all three blows, but the fourth blow still struck his chest.

Oyuro looked down at the charred knife wound on his chest, then looked at Chiyu in shock.

Although Qianyu had killed his companion with a single strike and already knew that he was fast, it was only when they actually fought that he truly experienced the speed of the kid in front of him.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been beheaded like his companion on the second strike.

Qianyu frowned slightly.

He slowed down.

Because he rushed to save Kushina Uzumaki, he used lightning-style chakra to stimulate his body for a long time, which caused Chiba's meridians to feel slightly stinging.

Chiba re-established his fighting stance, determined to kill these two Hidden Cloud Village ninjas right here!

Chapter 43 Fierce Fight

Chiba faced a Jonin and a Special Jonin alone.

This was the first time Chiba had fought against a ninja of this caliber.

The ninja he ambushed and beheaded must have been quite strong.

Meanwhile, judging from how Oyuro dodged and blocked his Second Form: Inari Soul, Oyuro's speed was not as good as his, but he had a lot of combat experience. He dodged three attacks with his own experience. The fourth attack was unavoidable, but he managed to retreat one step at the limit, only managing to wound Oyuro's chest.

Oyuro glanced at Atuyi, and Atuyi immediately understood what Oyuro meant, thanks to their years of tacit understanding.

"Cloud Flow Slash!"

After Oyuro quickly formed hand seals, streaks of lightning appeared around him.

During the battle, Chiyu continuously activated her body with lightning-attribute chakra. Oyuro's lightning was attracted to the lightning on Chiyu's body and struck Chiyu.

At the same time, Oyuro gripped his ninja sword tightly with both hands and slashed at Chiba.

Qianyu guided and deflected the lightning bolts that were striking him, while simultaneously raising his sword horizontally in front of his chest.

Oyuro unleashed three powerful slashes at Chiyu in quick succession.

The immense force forced Qianyu back several steps.

As Chiyu retreated, Atu used the Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Chiyu and launched a sneak attack with his sword.

When the sword struck Qianyu, Qianyu's entire body turned the color of mud, turning into a puddle of mud.

Atu's pupils suddenly contracted as he ambushed Chiyu.

Earth substitute!

When did you form the hand seal?!

Oyuro shouted a warning: "Atuyi, get out of the way!"

"Hidden Shadow Serpent Limbs!"

Chiyu appeared to Atu's right, and several snakes rushed out from her sleeve, launching a surprise attack on Atu.
