What are you so nervous about?
Tsunade looked up at Shizune.
"I... Lady Tsunade, I don't know anything!" Shizune quickly said.
Seeing this, Tsunade burst into laughter.
"Shizune, how long have you been following me?"
Hearing this, Shizune blinked, then whispered, "About... twenty years, I suppose."
"Then do we still need to talk about this?" Tsunade asked again.
Shizune fell silent.
Her eyes just suddenly turned red.
Tsunade shook her head. "Alright, no matter what, these matters have nothing to do with you."
The two, who spent every day together, understood each other long ago, and had even personally measured each other's sizes many times.
Even if everything Black-Framed Naruto said was true.
Tsunade wouldn't do anything to Shizune.
Of course, at this moment, Tsunade was merely forcibly suppressing her anger.
What did they take her for?
A tool for climbing the ranks?
It was only because Shizune was in front of her.
Otherwise, Tsunade would already be unable to stop cursing.
However, at this moment, Tsunade was already internally cursing the ancestors of the F4 eighteen generations back.
Just as Tsunade understood Shizune, Shizune also understood Tsunade well.
She could even accurately state the measurements without needing to think.
"Alright, everyone is dead... let's not talk about this for now." Tsunade comforted Shizune when she saw her eyes were slightly red.
"No... Lady Tsunade, actually, after listening to Black-Framed Naruto's deduction, I feel it's very reasonable. Uncle Dan... he really did approach you with a purpose."
"No matter how you look at it, this is an undeniable fact."
"I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade..."
Tsunade gave her a glare and said irritably, "I already told you it has nothing to do with you."
"But... because of Uncle Dan, it made Lady Tsunade..."
"Hmph, who do you think I am?"
"I am Princess Tsunade, how could I be someone so easily taken advantage of?"
...At the same time.
Inside the Shinigami's stomach.
Minato Namikaze sighed.
He knew that he couldn't avoid this matter.
The Nine-Tails Yin Half-Body naturally adopted a stance of non-involvement.
Besides.
Back then, Kushina wasn't the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki yet.
It also didn't have any related memories.
Furthermore, seeing Minato Namikaze like this, the Nine-Tails Yin Half-Body knew that this trouble had nothing to do with it, and it definitely shouldn't accidentally harm itself.
Meanwhile, in the Pure Land World.
As Black-Framed Naruto progressed, the scenes from that time naturally surfaced in Kushina's mind.
It was then that she and Minato fell in love.
Thinking about it, Kushina's lips curled up slightly.
Mikoto noticed the corners of her mouth and felt a little uncomfortable.
But she still chose to remain silent.
After that, she quietly moved a little further away.
'Hmph~!'
'No matter what, the child can't lose his father... So I'll forgive him just a little bit for now.'
The memories of the past calmed Kushina's anger somewhat.
Of course, she was no longer that simple, naive girl.
If Minato dared to hide anything or show favoritism toward Konoha, she would absolutely kick him away without hesitation.
The black frame large screen display continued.
[Konoha Year 41.]
[Following the example of the Hidden Sand Village, the Hidden Cloud Village also considered deploying Tailed Beasts into the war.]
[However, through continuous experimentation, they discovered that the Jinchuriki could not properly control the Tailed Beast. The Eight-Tails repeatedly rampaged, causing massive destruction and casualties in the Hidden Cloud Village.]
[Although Sealing Jutsu in the Ninja World was rapidly developing during this period, they still couldn't quickly develop the most suitable sealing technique.]
['Sealing Jutsu is rapidly developing... and Konoha is the same, hehe.']
[Naruto let out a cold laugh.]
[He silently made a note of these things in his heart.]
[Among the Five Great Ninja Villages, aside from Konoha, the Hidden Cloud Village was the most aggressive.]
[These guys are absolutely restless and always act like bandits.]
Fourth Raikage: "..."
Oh no, the way things are developing seems wrong.
"Raikage."
Mabui looked helplessly at the nervous Fourth Raikage.
"That is the black frame world."
"But things here will also change significantly!" the Fourth Raikage immediately retorted.
Hearing this, Mabui sighed.
Mabui: "Naruto, we bear you no ill will~"
Mabui: "Senior Kushina, if you wish to restore the Uzumaki Clan... our Hidden Cloud Village can help you. I deeply apologize for what happened back then... As you can see, the Hidden Cloud Village must have been involved in that incident."
Mabui: "If you don't mind... after you are resurrected, you may take me with you. Allow me to contribute to the restoration of the Uzumaki Clan, which will also serve as atonement for Kumogakure."
As soon as Mabui finished speaking.
Everyone was stunned.
The Fourth Raikage intended to refuse without even thinking.
But he was fiercely glared at by Mabui.
She signaled him to keep quiet for now.
However.
Ōnoki: "Mabui, is that you? As clever as ever. Are you trying to cling to power?"
Mabui: "..."
As soon as Ōnoki said this.
The meaning of Mabui's earlier statement completely changed.
In the Pure Land World, Kushina pinched her chin, her brows tightly furrowed.
Uzumaki Kushina: "No way!"
Uzumaki Kushina: "Only one?"
Uzumaki Kushina: "That's too much of a loss!"
Everyone: "..."
As expected of you, what a huge appetite.
However, it didn't seem excessive.
The black frame large screen display continued:
[Kumogakure, struggling with Jinchuriki research, took advantage of the war and dispatched Ninja to infiltrate Konoha and abduct Uzumaki Kushina, who possessed a special physique.]
[However, Kushina, who had just become a Genin, was completely defenseless.]
[But according to what Mikoto later stated.]
['Uchiha Mikoto... I see, she had a very good relationship with Mom.']
[The subsequent records were interspersed with a lot of information that Clan Head Fugaku had heard from Aunt Mikoto.]
[After reading it, Naruto's brow suddenly furrowed.]
['Something is wrong, very wrong!']
['It's true that Mom had just become a Genin, but Mom was from the Uzumaki Clan, and the sole candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at the time.']
['Even if the Village was short on manpower, it shouldn't have been possible for Hidden Cloud Village Ninja to infiltrate so easily, right?']
['It's as if someone deliberately let them through... Wait!']
['How does this incident look so similar to the previous time the Hidden Cloud Village envoy infiltrated the Hyuga Clan?!']
[Naruto took a deep breath, calming himself down, and then continued his analysis.]
['Uzumaki Mito... I guessed correctly. She was definitely placed under house arrest in the Senju compound. Although she still commanded some authority, it wasn't much.']
['Otherwise, Uzumaki Mito would absolutely never have allowed a member of her clan to be openly abducted like this. No matter what, Uzumaki Mito belonged to the Uzumaki Clan; the blood flowing in her veins was Uzumaki.']
['Moreover, with her clan annihilated... I don't believe Uzumaki Mito couldn't figure out what was going on.']
['And... Mom was living inside the Senju compound at the time.']
[Hoo—]
['Returning to the incident, after Mom was captured, they didn't immediately abduct her... instead, they tied her up and made her walk on her own...']
['Aunt Mikoto said that Mom recounted pulling out her own noticeable red hair, attempting to leave a trail.']
['In that case, how could the Hidden Cloud Village Ninja, who managed to infiltrate Konoha and abduct the crucial Nine-Tails Jinchuriki candidate, not notice this?']
['And why would they foolishly let Mom walk on her own?']
['It looks exactly like they were waiting for someone to come to the rescue.']
['It wasn't until the border of the Land of Fire, when Mom was already despairing... that the rescue arrived.']
