Chapter 47: If That's What You Say, I'm Going to Hit You
Kushina's overly frank comments left Minato Namikaze, the prodigious young man, unsure of what to say for a moment.
*There will be time in the future.*
If he stayed any longer now, it might only incur Kushina's dislike.
So, Minato Namikaze turned and left.
"Is something wrong with him!"
But looking at Minato Namikaze, Kushina couldn't help but mutter.
He suddenly came to find me when I wasn't there, and then suddenly left.
*Doesn't he have a problem with his brain?*
Glancing dismissively in Minato Namikaze's direction, Kushina didn't dwell on it further.
It wasn't until the sun was setting that the Ninja Academy dismissed school.
Standing alone outside the school gates, Uzumaki Kushina pondered.
"Should I go to Sister Tsunade's place first and see if that annoying guy is back?"
If Aoyama Ruyun wasn't back,
wouldn't all her revenge methods be useless?
But checking the time, Kushina shook her head.
"Forget it! I'll go back and eat first. I'll check tomorrow!"
Saying this, Kushina instantly cheered up.
She skipped happily home alone.
It's just that, seeing the groups of children on the street,
Kushina felt a little disappointed inside, but with Kushina's personality, she quickly recovered.
"Humph! I'm going to be the Hokage's woman! I don't need friends!"
That's right, Kushina's current goal was to become Hokage.
...
On the other side, by the time Aoyama Ruyun and the others returned to Konoha,
it was completely dark.
"Hmm?"
Aoyama Ruyun's Observation Haki suddenly sensed something.
He stopped at the location of the Konoha gate and turned to look in a nearby direction.
*'That little girl... is it Kumogakure?'*
*How interesting!*
"What's wrong?"
Aoyama Ruyun suddenly stopping made Hatake Sakumo and the others also stop.
They looked at Aoyama Ruyun.
"You're not scared, are you!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke said inadvertently.
In Sarutobi Shinnosuke's view, now that they were back in Konoha, he didn't need to fear Aoyama Ruyun.
But Aoyama Ruyun didn't even look at Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
He completely ignored him, just saying to Hatake Sakumo,
"I have something to do, I'll be leaving first!"
Finishing, Aoyama Ruyun used a Body Flicker and left!
"That guy!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at Aoyama Ruyun's retreating figure and said fiercely.
*He actually dared to ignore me!*
*Humph! Just wait until I see Lord Hokage later and tattle on you!*
Hatake Sakumo didn't pay much attention, turning his head to Yuhi Shinku at the side.
"Anyway, we're back in Konoha. Shinku, you should go back too!"
"Mhm! Captain, I'll leave the mission report to you!"
Yuhi Shinku nodded.
After every mission is completed, they have to report to the Hokage.
But the reporting work only needs to be done by the ninja squad captain.
Hatake Sakumo didn't mind. After seeing Yuhi Shinku leave, Hatake Sakumo looked at Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
"Shinnosuke! How about you too..."
"I don't need to!"
Before he finished speaking, Sarutobi Shinnosuke interrupted him directly.
"Captain White Fang, I'll go see Lord Hokage with you!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled coldly.
*How could I go back to rest without tattling on Aoyama Ruyun!*
"..."
Hatake Sakumo could see that this Sarutobi Shinnosuke was really holding a grudge.
There was no choice. Since Sarutobi Shinnosuke was with him, Hatake Sakumo couldn't leave him.
He could only shake his head helplessly.
*I'll just have to speak up for Aoyama Ruyun later!*
Afterward, Hatake Sakumo and Sarutobi Shinnosuke used a Body Flicker and rushed towards the Hokage Tower.
...
Unknown to everyone,
in the border area of Konoha, a ninja squad wearing Kumogakure headbands was rushing quickly.
They were moving at an extreme speed.
Their furtive appearance clearly showed they were up to no good.
The person being carried by them was Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Kushina!
"Konoha isn't all that, huh? The security is so lax. I thought taking the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would be difficult!"
Noticing that they were about to leave Konoha's territory,
one of the Kumogakure ninjas couldn't help but say easily.
"Shut up! Move faster!"
The captain of the ninja squad immediately reprimanded him.
Before they left Konoha, they had to remain vigilant!
"Yes!"
With the captain's order, those people didn't dare to speak.
They could only focus their attention on the bound Uzumaki Kushina!
"Move faster!"
"..."
Bowing her head, Kushina walked silently in the middle of the ninja squad.
Honestly, Kushina was also bewildered.
She was alone at home, just about to eat and rest, when suddenly these Kumogakure ninjas appeared in her house.
They didn't even give Kushina a chance to call for help and directly knocked her out.
By the time she regained consciousness, she was here.
Looking at Konoha getting further and further away, and touching the red hair on her head, Kushina bowed her head, her heart numb with despair.
"As expected, no one will notice me, right?"
*A monster like me,*
*I don't have a single friend in Konoha.*
*Even if I'm gone, no one will care, right?*
Kushina didn't know what these Kumogakure ninjas planned to do after kidnapping her.
She also didn't know what she would face after leaving Konoha.
*Perhaps! I'll die!*
After all, she was just a child. Even if she was usually very open, when truly facing death, she felt fear.
*'Why! Why! Why is there no one who cares about me!'*
Tears couldn't help but start to drip down.
Deep down, she really wanted to make a few friends.
"Humph!"
Noticing the weeping Kushina, the Kumogakure ninjas sneered.
In the cruel ninja world, the least believable thing is tears.
"Little girl, come with us obediently to Kumogakure. No one will save you from a mere Konoha village!"
But as soon as the words left his mouth, Aoyama Ruyun's faint voice,
echoed throughout the entire forest,
"If you don't stop, I'm going to start hitting you!"
