Naruto: Kushina's Redemption, My Revenge

Konoha remained indifferent when Uzushio, a loyal ally, was destroyed.

Chinya heard from Orochimaru that Konoha actually had the capability to send assistance back then.

But supporting Uzushio simply didn't align with Konoha's interests.

The attackers of Uzushio were numerous and powerful. If Konoha had intervened, they would have needed to deploy many ninjas there, potentially causing massive losses.

Moreover, supporting Uzushio wouldn't bring any benefit to Konoha.

Because Mito Uzumaki mastered all of Uzushio's most important sealing techniques.

What belonged to Mito Uzumaki effectively belonged to Konoha.

Therefore, Konoha chose to turn a blind eye and watch Uzushio perish.

And now, just for the Nine-Tails, Konoha specially brought Kushina Uzumaki here, forcing her to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Chinya should've known this from the start—Mito Uzumaki would never lend him a hand.

He took a deep breath, let out a bitter chuckle, and muttered, "In the end, it's up to me again. Everything hinges on finding Karin's mother. If not, I'll have no choice but to leave sooner than planned."

...

Early the next morning,

Chinya headed straight for Mito Uzumaki's residence to take Kushina Uzumaki away.

Mito didn't show up, so it seemed she had silently accepted his decision.

Chinya headed straight for Kushina Uzumaki's room and knocked on the door.

He knocked for quite a while, but there was no response.

Frowning slightly, Chinya pushed the door open.

Seeing Kushina still lying in bed, he felt relieved.

Approaching her bedside, he called softly, "Kushina, wake up."

He tried calling her several times.

Kushina lay still, her head buried beneath the blanket, silent for a long time.

Hearing faint sobs, he yanked the covers off at once.

He found Kushina with bloodshot eyes, tears streaming down her face.

Worriedly, he asked, "What happened, Kushina?!"

It was the first time he'd ever seen Kushina cry.

Her tears sent his heart into a panic.

Sniffling, Kushina whispered, "I… I overheard your conversation with Grandma Mito last night..."

Chinya froze.

Kushina overheard their conversation last night?

Didn't Mito Uzumaki possess the [Mind's Eye of the Kagura]?

If Mito discovered Kushina listening, she certainly wouldn't have allowed it—at least not yet.

Which meant Mito hadn't noticed Kushina last night.

"Did you awaken the [Mind's Eye of the Kagura] too?"

Kushina nodded slightly.

[Mind's Eye of the Kagura] grants extraordinary sensing abilities and, when in danger, allows the user to conceal their chakra and escape any peril.

After returning to her room last night, Kushina activated the [Mind's Eye of the Kagura] and sensed Chinya moving in the direction of Mito Uzumaki.

She knew how much Chinya disliked and resisted Mito Uzumaki.

Therefore, Kushina Uzumaki, who had been curious about Chinya visiting Mito Uzumaki, used the Mind's Eye of the Kagura to hide her chakra and quietly went over to eavesdrop.

After hearing everything, Kushina felt her entire worldview shatter.

Although she didn't understand what the Nine-Tails was or what a jinchuriki (human beast container) meant,

one thing was clear—her reason for coming to Konoha wasn't what she originally believed when she had first been discovered and brought there.

At that time, the official reason Kushina Uzumaki was brought to Konoha was because Konoha and Uzushio were allies, and Konoha had been searching for surviving members of the Uzumaki Clan, extending an invitation for them to come live in Konoha.

It turned out that Konoha sheltering her and Mito Uzumaki adopting her were both done with the purpose of making her the container of the Nine-Tails.

And Chinya had always been trying his best to help her and prevent this from happening.

Kushina finally understood why Chinya had always disliked Mito Uzumaki, who had always seemed kind and caring toward *her*—Kushina.

"Chinya, will I become the Nine-Tails' container?"

Chinya reached out and gently wiped away the tears on Kushina's cheeks as he spoke firmly, "Kushina, I promise you—you will never become a Jinchuriki. No one can force you to be one!"

Inside, he silently swore,

If anyone tries to force you—I'll kill them!

Chinya picked Kushina up from the bed, "Kushina, with me by your side, you never have to worry about this. You don't need to think about any of it. Everything will be taken care of. Come with me—we're leaving here. This place isn't your home. I'll take you to our home."

Kushina buried her head into Chinya's arm and softly responded with a hum.

She had no desire to stay in Konoha any longer.

Even Mito Uzumaki—the person she had loved and respected like a real family member—who had raised her and taught her, had done so with ulterior motives.

Although Kushina did not hate Mito Uzumaki, she couldn't figure out how to face her anymore either.

Chinya and Kushina left together.

After Chinya and Kushina had gone, Mito Uzumaki stepped out through the door, eyes filled with guilt as she let out a deep sigh.

Chinya took Kushina to his apartment.

He had barely lived there for a few days since it was assigned to him. As soon as he opened the door, dust and spiderwebs filled the space.

Chinya sighed helplessly, "Looks like we need a major cleanup."

Kushina, comforted along the way by Chinya, had already improved her mood quite a bit.

Besides, Kushina naturally had a big heart—her emotions came quickly but faded just as fast.

Seeing their future home, Kushina's eyes lit up with excitement: "Then let's clean it together!"

So Chinya and Kushina began cleaning.

Two hours later,

all the dust was gone, and the place looked spotless and tidy.

Chinya and Kushina plopped down on the sofa together, taking a break.

Kushina leaned her head onto Chinya's shoulder and asked, "Chinya, can you tell me more about the Nine-Tails and the Jinchuriki?"

Chinya fell silent for a moment, then began explaining to Kushina Uzumaki, "The Nine-Tails is a creature known as a Tailed Beast. There are nine of these creatures in total, each with a number of tails ranging from one to nine. They possess great power and, throughout the tumultuous history of the Shinobi World, have always been associated with calamity and fear.

Humans tried to control the Tailed Beasts by sealing them into human hosts, hoping to harness their power. These hosts, treated like sacrificial vessels, are known as Jinchuriki.

The lives of Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts are bound together — if the Tailed Beast dies, so too will its host.

Moreover, becoming a Jinchuriki is extremely dangerous — the Tailed Beast constantly battles its host for control, risking power loss and great harm."

Kushina Uzumaki straightened her posture, her eyes locked intensely onto Chinya's face as she spoke with determination:

"Chinya, I'm willing to become a Jinchuriki!"
