As a steadfast ally of Konoha, the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, and Konoha did nothing.
However, according to Orochimaru, Konoha was not incapable of supporting them at the time.
It was simply because supporting them did not align with their interests.
There were too many countries and clans attacking the Land of Whirlpools, and if Konoha were to provide support, it would require dispatching a large number of ninjas into the Land of Whirlpools, potentially leading to significant losses for Konoha.
Moreover, supporting the Land of Whirlpools would not bring much benefits to Konoha.
And because Uzumaki Mito, who possessed all of the Uzumaki's Clan most important sealing techniques, was already in Konoha.
Mito possessing them was equivalent to Konoha possessing them.
Therefore, Konoha chose to turn a blind eye, watching the Uzumaki Clan perish.
Now, for the sake of the Nine-Tails, they specifically sought out Uzumaki Kushina to come to Konoha, making her the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki for their benefit.
Yasu felt that he should have realized this earlier; Mito would never agree to his request.
He then took a deep breath, inexplicably chuckled, and murmured: "In the end, I still have to rely on myself. I must find Karin's mother, or else I'll only have to take that path."
...
The next morning.
Yasu went directly to the Uzumaki residence, preparing to take Kushina away.
Mito did not appear, seemingly acquiescing to him taking Kushina.
Yasu went straight to Kushina's room and knocked on the door.
After knocking for a while, there was no response.
He frowned slightly and pushed the door open.
Seeing her still in bed, Yasu breathed a sigh of relief.
He then went to her bedside and said softly: "Kushina, wake up."
He called out several times.
And Kushina had her head covered with a blanket, remaining still for a long time.
Yasu heard a faint sobbing sound and immediately pulled back Kushina's blanket.
He found her eyes were red and teary.
He anxiously asked: "What happened, Kushina?!"
This was the first time Yasu had seen Kushina cry.
Her tears made him very flustered.
Kushina sobbed: "I, I heard your conversation with Grandma Mito yesterday..."
Yasu was stunned.
Kushina heard his conversation with Mito last night?
Didn't Mito have the Kagura Mind's Eye?
If she had detected Kushina, she definitely wouldn't have let her listen, at least not now.
That is to say, Mito probably didn't detect her last night.
"Did you also awaken the Kagura Mind's Eye?"
Kushina nodded slightly.
Besides its super sensory abilities, the Kagura Mind's Eye also has the power to hide one's chakra when encountering danger, 'the power to escape from all difficulties'.
After returning to her room last night, Kushina used the Kagura Mind's Eye to sense Yasu's location who at the time was heading towards Uzumaki Mito.
Kushina knew that Yasu didn't like her Grandma Mito and was very resistant to her.
So, curious about him going to find her grandma, she used the Kagura Mind's Eye to hide her chakra and secretly went to eavesdrop.
After eavesdropping, her entire worldview collapsed.
Although she didn't know what the Nine-Tails or a Jinchuriki was.
It was clear that her coming to Konoha was not for the reason she was found and brought here.
Because the reason she received when she was brought her at the time was 'Konoha and the Uzumaki Clan are allies, and Konoha is looking for the orphans of the Uzumaki clan to bring them to the village to live'.
But now, it seems that Konoha taking her in and Uzumaki Mito adopting her, were all for the purpose of making her a vessel for the Nine-Tails.
And Yasu had been trying to find a way for her, preventing this from happening.
Kushina finally understood why he had never liked her kind and amiable Grandma; it was all because of her.
"Yasu, will I become that Nine-Tails' vessel?"
Yasu reached out and stroked her cheek, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said firmly: "Kushina, I promise you, you will never become a Jinchuriki, and no one can force you to become one!"
'If anyone tries to force you, I will kill them!'
He silently vowed the last part in his heart.
He picked up her from the bed: "Kushina, with me here, you never need to worry. You don't need to think about these things, I'll take care of everything. Leave here with me, this is not your home, I'll take you to our home."
Kushina buried her head in his arms and gently said 'Mm'.
She indeed didn't want to stay here any longer.
Even Uzumaki Mito, whom she had always respected and treated as a true relative, adopting her and teaching her, was for a purpose.
Although she didn't hate her for this, but she didn't know how to face Uzumaki Mito in the future.
Yasu then took Kushina away.
After they left, Uzumaki Mito opened the door and walked out, her eyes filled with guilt, and she sighed deeply.
…
After a while, Yasu while still carrying Kushina arrived to his apartment room.
He himself hadn't lived in this room for more than a few days since it was assigned to him. Opening the door, it was full of dust and cobwebs.
He said helplessly: "Looks like we need to do some major cleaning."
Kushina, who had been comforted by Yasu along the way, was now in a much better mood.
Moreover, she was originally a carefree person, her emotions came and went quickly like the wind.
Looking at her future home, Kushina was full of energy: "Then let's do some major cleaning together!"
They then started cleaning.
Two hours later.
The dust in the room had been swept away, and the house now looked livable.
And after the cleaning, Kushina and Yasu snuggled together, sitting on the sofa resting.
Kushina rested her head on his shoulder and asked: "Yasu, can you tell me about the Nine-Tails and the Jinchuriki?"
Yasu pondered for a moment and then decided to tell her: "The Nine-Tails is a creature called a Tailed Beast. There are nine Tailed Beasts, with 1 to 9 tails respectively. They are very powerful. In the war-torn history of the ninja world, they are terrifying existences deeply imprinted in people's minds along with disaster."
"In order to control the power of the Tailed Beasts, ninjas seal the power of the Tailed Beasts inside other ninjas, intending to control these Tailed Beasts' power. These hosts of the Tailed Beasts are like living sacrifices, so they are called 'Jinchuriki'."
"And The life of a Jinchuriki is bound to the Tailed Beast. If the Tailed Beast dies, then the Jinchuriki will definitely die. Moreover, becoming a Jinchuriki is quite dangerous, because the Tailed Beast will fight with the Jinchuriki for control of the body, there is also a risk of losing control of power, which is quite dangerous."
Kushina sat up straight, her eyes staring straight at his face, and said seriously:
"Yasu, I am willing to become a Jinchuriki!"
