Chapter 135 First Encounter with Kushina Uzumaki
Shingetsu Seiun said, "I will not return to the Uchiha clan."
"Mikoto-sensei asked me to take you to another place."
Itachi Uchiha's eyes flickered: "Where to?"
Are we going to their house?
"Think about Shingetsu Seiun's lectures," Itachi Uchiha thought with a sense of resistance.
Now, no matter where he goes, even if he ends up wandering the streets, he doesn't want to be with Shenyue Xingyun.
On the battlefield, Shenyue Xingyun's surroundings were a safe place, but in the village, the place where Shenyue Xingyun was was the source of his nightmares.
Seeing Itachi Uchiha trying his best to hide his resistance, Shingetsu Seiun laughed and said, "Don't worry, he's not coming with me."
"I'll take you to the Jonin Kushina."
This was something Mikoto Uchiha specifically instructed her to do.
Originally, as a major clan in Konoha, the Uchiha clan could easily take care of a child, but now that Uchiha Mikoto has no trust in Uchiha Fugaku, she asked Shinzuki Seiun to send Uchiha Itachi to Uzumaki Kushina for a while.
She had some personal ties with Kushina Uzumaki, and given that the latter was a Jinchūriki, the likelihood of her going to the battlefield was extremely low. Considering Kushina's temperament and strength, she wasn't worried about anyone from the Uchiha clan trying to take her away.
Upon hearing Shingetsu Seiun's reply, Itachi Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief.
He had some impression of Kushina Uzumaki.
She's a very gentle and lively auntie.
Although we're not very familiar with each other, I think I'd feel much more comfortable around the other person than around Shenyue Xingyun.
Ten minutes later, at Minato Namikaze's house.
"Knock knock." With a knock on the door, Kushina Uzumaki, who was knitting at home, stopped what she was doing.
"Who is it?" she said, putting down the unidentified object made of yarn in her hand and getting up to open the door.
"Kushina, the Jonin."
"It was Ms. Mikoto who sent me to find you."
Upon hearing the words "Mikoto-sensei," Kushina Uzumaki opened the door.
Then, a ray of light shone on her face.
"Holy crap!" Kushina Uzumaki was startled.
Without any warning, the moment she opened the courtyard gate, a handsome young man, almost unreal, appeared before her.
The warm evening sun fell on her shoulders and face, as if she were shining in her eyes.
Three seconds later, she came to her senses and completely forgot what she had just been thinking.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Shingetsu Seiun smiled politely, grabbed Uchiha Itachi, and pulled him to stand in front of Uzumaki Kushina.
"Kushina, the Jonin."
"Mikoto-sensei is my team leader Jonin, and my name is Shinzuki Seiun."
"Mikoto-sensei asked me to bring Itachi here so that you can look after him for a while."
As he spoke, he gently nudged Itachi Uchiha's shoulder, and the latter politely greeted him, "Aunt Kushina."
Kushina Uzumaki nodded and hummed in agreement, but her gaze remained fixed on Seiun Kamitsuki.
"You are Shenyue Xingyun?"
The meaning of the words seemed familiar, and Shen Yuexingyun knew that what the other party had heard was definitely not good news. He didn't reply for a moment, but just smiled and nodded.
Kushina Uzumaki looked Shingetsu Nebula up and down, nodding and clicking her tongue in agreement.
"No wonder, no wonder."
"It seems that rumors are not always entirely unreliable."
Shingetsu Seiun's smile gradually turned awkward. He said, "Kushina, Jonin, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
"Oh~ okay." Kushina Uzumaki then realized that the other party had come to drop off the child.
She reached out to Itachi Uchiha, pulled him over, and then said to Shingetsu Seiun, "Alright, just put the child with me."
"If you see Mikoto, please give her my regards."
"I will." Shenyue Xingyun nodded and then quickly left.
Even after his figure disappeared around the corner, Kushina Uzumaki still didn't look away, her gaze a mixture of admiration and surprise.
"Aunt Kushina, she's already gone," Itachi Uchiha whispered a reminder from the side.
"Auntie knows." Kushina Uzumaki came back to her senses and said to Itachi Uchiha, "Today has truly been an eye-opening experience."
"I used to think the women in the village were just spreading rumors, but today I found out that there really are people who don't look like humans."
""
Itachi Uchiha frowned in confusion. Was this a compliment or an insult?
Before he could figure it out, Kushina Uzumaki looked at him with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
That's the excitement of someone who's bored to the extreme suddenly discovering something interesting.
"Itachi".
"What do you like to do?"
Uchiha Itachi thought for a moment: "As long as I don't listen to the lecture, I can do whatever I want."
Kushina Uzumaki was delighted to hear this: "Then, knitting sweaters, cooking, folding stars, what do you like to do?"
Uchiha Itachi frowned upon hearing this, then whispered, "Aunt Kushina, I don't like any of them."
"I like them all!" Kushina Uzumaki clapped her hands happily. "Then Auntie will take you to play now."
Uchiha Itachi; "?"
Thinking the other person had misheard, he spoke again, his voice slightly louder: "Aunt Kushina. I said I don't like any of them."
"It's best to just stay quietly and do nothing."
"Oh, you have to do all three? Then let's do them one by one."
Uchiha Itachi: "————"
He realized that Kushina Uzumaki wasn't actually asking him anything.
Looking at Kushina Uzumaki, who was excitedly pulling him along, he suddenly felt a sense of worry about the future.
It can't be harder than following Shenyue Xingyun, right?
No, no! It shouldn't be.
Trying to reassure himself, Itachi Uchiha calmed down. For the next few days, he diligently stayed by Kushina Uzumaki's side, learning many things he had never learned before.
Day 1: Knitting a sweater.
Kushina Uzumaki taught him to knit with her abysmal skills. By the time he was able to knit a complete pair of gloves, the sweater Kushina Uzumaki gave Minato Namikaze still looked like a small animal's scarf.
The next day, I cooked.
He swore that if he hadn't been watching, Kushina Uzumaki would have set the kitchen on fire. But Kushina seemed completely unconcerned about his worries and attempts to stop her.
"Oh dear, Itachi, you're such a coward."
"It's just cooking. Auntie knows ninjutsu, so she won't be afraid even if it catches fire."
Itachi Uchiha wanted to say that he was scared, but he knew it would be useless.
He simply couldn't stop the gentle and lively Kushina Uzumaki.
On the third day, Kushina Uzumaki suddenly had the idea to take him fishing in the Naka River.
The other party had prepared two large bags of tools, but unfortunately, he sat there from morning until afternoon, his stomach growling with hunger, and he hadn't caught a single fish from Kushina Uzumaki.
Finally, in a fit of rage, Kushina used her enormous golden chains to churn up the Naka River, successfully stunning several large fish, which she then happily took home.
Every day that followed, Kushina Uzumaki came up with a new trick to play, and without exception, she either bored him or terrified him.
Day 4, Day 5 —
On the eighth day, Kushina Uzumaki actually set the kitchen on fire and successfully destroyed it with a C-rank Water Release technique. She then began to ponder the difference between the Will of Fire and the Will of Stone.
On the eleventh day, while accompanying Kushina Uzumaki to get her hair done, he began to ponder the relationship between the daimyo and the ninja village.
On the fifteenth day, he began to miss the Divine Moon Nebula.
