Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

His movable fingers began to slowly attempt to form hand seals, but his body was completely empty, and he couldn't mobilize even a trace of chakra.

Kushina thought with some annoyance, her emotions completely overwhelming her reason at this moment. The Bagua seal binding her was extremely exquisite and secure; if she were alive, she would be certain that no one in Konoha Village, except for Minato and herself, could easily break it.

Unfortunately... the Nine-Tails is no longer in my body... and I can no longer use its chakra...?

She subconsciously thought of using the Nine-Tails' chakra to break free of the restraints, but then suddenly realized that she was no longer a Jinchūriki after death.

However, in the instant that thought flashed through her mind, a familiar warm current actually flowed deep within her body, faint yet clearly responding to her call!

This is... the Nine-Tails' chakra?

Kushina was somewhat uncertain. This feeling, this unique chakra nature, was indeed Kurama's. However, it was completely different from the violent, hateful crimson energy she had felt when she forcibly borrowed it in her previous life. The chakra that responded to her now was unusually gentle and compliant.

I don't understand the current situation... but right now, with my chakra completely sealed, the arrival of this power is like sending charcoal in snowy weather!

She carefully guided the gentle Nine-Tails chakra, and slowly, her stiff arms were able to move more freely, and her hands finally managed to come together with difficulty. However, the rough and ethereal sensation that came through her body during the movement was a cruel reminder to Kushina once again—you are dead, this is not your true body.

But things had already come to this point, and an intense longing burned through her soul like a flame. Kushina desperately wanted to go out and see the world! The long-suppressed yearning and overwhelming maternal love were threatening to consume her entirely.

Just one look... as long as I'm sure he's doing well... I'll go find Minato immediately... I promise...

She comforted herself in this way, finding reasons for her inappropriate "willfulness." Her hands began to slowly form familiar hand seals, and with the help of the gentle Nine-Tails chakra, the steps to unseal the seal were reconstructed step by step.

"Eight Trigrams Seal - Released".

The last seal is finally complete! Kushina inwardly thanked her past self for her hard work and pursuit of perfection in sealing techniques.

"Click..."

Something shattered. The darkness was gone; a faint light finally appeared. Although it still seemed like a dark place outside, that glimmer of light was enough to fill Kushina with immense excitement and anticipation.

As the seal was broken, the force that had been dragging her towards the abyss of slumber also receded. Kushina quickly moved her body, her movements gradually becoming smoother from their initial awkwardness. Accompanied by a soft sound, like grains of sand falling to the ground, she finally staggered out of the cocoon of seal that had bound her.

"here it is……"

Kushina steadied herself and looked around the room with a puzzled expression. It was dark all around, filled with all sorts of scrolls, and the air was thick with the smell of old paper and dust. In front of her, two other large cocoons, similar to the one she had just been in, stood silently, marked with the words "First" and "Second" respectively.

"Old man, you still haven't let go?"

"I'm sorry, Jiraiya, but this is the only thing I cannot grant you. Everything I have done is for Konoha."

"Stop clinging to the past... Is it really impossible for the Hokage to make a decision on this matter?"

"No, Jiraiya! I can't give this to you! I am still the Hokage!"

"But old man, you must understand!" Jiraiya retorted without backing down, "Those who cannot give up anything will ultimately change nothing!"

"But that has absolutely nothing to do with becoming Hokage! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Don't even think about it! I don't want to hear rumors that the Fifth Hokage of Konoha is a voyeur!"

The third generation finally lost his temper. He snatched the crystal ball back from the table and shouted at it with exasperation.

"Tch..." Jiraiya clicked his tongue in annoyance, his gaze still reluctantly following the precious crystal ball that could observe all parts of Konoha.

Just now, after Naruto left, the two began discussing matters related to the succession of the next Hokage. Initially, everything went smoothly, after all, apart from his lecherousness, Jiraiya possessed all the qualities of a Hokage, and even the Jonin election was just a formality.

However, when the Third Hokage used his telescope technique to examine the post-war state of Konoha and the sanctuary, looking for areas that needed priority... the dispute over the ownership of the crystal ball that just occurred.

Seeing the lewd expression reappear on his disciple's face, the Third Hokage rubbed his temples helplessly and added, "Also, the Hokage's order to 'allow white-haired old men to freely enter the women's hot spring bath' is absolutely impossible to pass."

Jiraiya immediately deflated like a punctured balloon. The Third Hokage, seeing his state, could only sigh silently. His three disciples all had some troublesome flaws… However, compared to squandering money at casinos and indulging in women, it was much more acceptable than becoming a rogue ninja.

"Alright, the village still needs our help now." The Third Hokage said seriously, bringing the topic back on track. "One last thing—after your succession ceremony, immediately announce Naruto's true parentage in the name of Hokage."

Jiraiya was taken aback by what he heard. The Third Hokage explained in a deep voice.

"Over the years... the village has indeed owed Naruto too much. The villagers need to find some excuses for their past actions, so why not give them someone to vent to... I will take on this responsibility."

Jiraiya fell silent. He understood that the Third Hokage did bear some responsibility in this matter... but what about himself? As a master, he had ignored his disciple's orphan for so many years after his death... Sigh, this was not something that could be easily forgiven with a scolding.

Just as the atmosphere in the office was heavy, the door to the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open! An ANBU member rushed in, reporting urgently.

"Oh no, Hokage-sama! The seal... the seal has been broken! There's danger! We can't stop her at all!"
