Naruto Time Control

Chapter 249: Kushina and Mikoto

"The Messengers of Kumogakure..."

Yeruashi stroked his chin thoughtfully as he watched Rin leave, from what he could remember, these people must be up to something.

Come to think of it, it should be time. In a couple of days, Hinata will celebrate her third birthday, and according to the rules of the Hyuga Clan, when the descendant of the main branch turns three, the descendants of the secondary branch will be sealed with the Fuuinjutsu of the birdcage, so there will be no strangers invited to this birthday.

After thinking about it for a moment, Yeruashi shook his head and smiled wryly.

This could be interesting.

In the anime, the envoys from Kumogakure threatened to resume the war if the Hyuga Clan didn't provide a proper explanation, but they were really just targeting the Byakugan.

After the Third Ninja World War, the Senju Clan finally withered away, and the Hyuga Clan, on the other hand, developed rapidly, taking its place. The Hyuga Clan became one of the two most powerful clans in Konoha and competed tirelessly with the Uchiha Clan.

At the same time, Hiruzen maintained a policy of suppressing large clans. During the course of the war, the Third Hokage was forced to allow the Hyuga Clan to develop freely and, after the end of the war, of course, began to suppress them intensively. Apparently, Kumogakure understood the situation and decided to make a move.

This was a great opportunity for Hiruzen to show the Hyuga Clan that they should stand still, even if they had grown a lot during the war.

For the death of the messenger, demanding the life of the Hyuga Clan Chief and threatening to start a war, what nonsense is this!!!!

Not to mention Hiruzen, that old fox, even Yeruashi, who didn't like to get involved in such intrigues, easily understood the essence of the situation.

Just look at the end result.

Instead of Hiashi, Hizashi sacrificed himself, but in the end, after the return of the envoys, Kumogakure still did not start a war, the only result of this incident was the suppression of the Hyuga clan by Hiruzen.

"Should I help?"

"Forget it."

Yeruashi thought for a moment and shook his head.

It didn't matter what happened.

Although Kurama has become a fat and lazy fox, the malicious actions of Kumogakure's messengers still won't be able to escape his perception, and there's no need to concentrate on that. If it turns out that Kumogakure is not going to do anything, his actions would only create unnecessary tension.

He would take care of that when the Kumogakure envoys actually decided to do something.

Yeruashi created a shadow clone and walked out of the Hokage's office.

...

At one of the residences in the Uchiha clan's territory.

Two women sat across from each other on fluffy pillows, sipping their tea and chatting happily.

One of them had bright red hair, and was, of course, Uzumaki Kushina, or rather Namikaze Kushina.

Across from Kushina sat Uchiha Mikoto, Itachi and Sasuke's mother.

Mikoto poured a cup of tea, smiled at Kushina and said, "Naruto has grown up so much already."

Kushina nodded and said, "Sasuke also looks like he will grow up to be a handsome boy in the future."

"Hey..."

Mikoto smiled and looked around and said, "Where did these two run off to?"

Kushina took a sip of tea and said, "They ran to the backyard. Oh, my Naruto is so restless, at the end of the day, I can usually barely stand up."

Mikoto replied, "I was lucky with that, Sasuke is usually taken care of by Itachi, otherwise, I'd be in the same situation ... Maybe you should find a teacher for Naruto?"

"It's hard to find a good permanent teacher."

Kushina shook her head and said, "Anyway, I don't have much to do."

While they were talking, a man in wooden sandals walked down the hallway towards the backyard.

After taking a close look at the passing figure, Mikoto and Kushina were surprised at first, then abruptly stood up and bowed, saying, "Hokage-sama."

"Never mind, I just came to observe Itachi's practice."

Yeruashi looked at them with a smile and nodded.

Mikoto bowed once more and said gratefully, "Hokage-sama, you're so attentive to Itachi's practice, it'll probably take you a long time"

"No problem, I can find free time for my own student."

Yeruashi shook his head, looked at Kushina and said, "Are you alright? Minato asked me to take care of his wife and son, but I haven't seen you in two years."

Kushina smiled at Yeruashi and said, "Thank you for your concern, Hokage-sama. We're all fine, I'll take care of everything...I probably have a lot to do, in the past, Minato was often away from the service house."

Kakashi comes very often to visit Kushina, so Yeruashi never came personally, but he still ordered to give Kushina a decent allowance once a month, and if there were any problems, then the Shadow Guards were involved in this.

"Then I'm calm, if you need anything, feel free to contact Kakashi."

Yeruashi nodded to Kushina and took a step forward, soon disappearing at the end of the corridor leading to the backyard.

Kushina and Mikoto bowed in the direction of Yeruashi who was leaving, and only straightened up when he was gone.

Mikoto looked at Kushina and sighed, noticing her look, "Are you thinking about the Fourth Hokage? If it hadn't been for the Kyubi incident..."

"No."

Kushina shook her head and smiled a little sadly, saying, "If Minato was still a Hokage, it would be very difficult for him to change Konoha like the Fifth Hokage did, and he wouldn't be able to tame the Kyubi."

She was grateful to Yeruashi, because without him, not to mention such a quick recovery from the effects of the war and the rapid development, Konoha would most likely have been completely destroyed in that incident.

In his opinion, as Hokage, Minato made the right decision. Whether it is the rapid development of Konoha or the way the ninja of Konoha respect and honor 'Lord Kurama', it all confirms the correctness of his decision. Moreover, Yeruashi saved her life so that she could take care of Naruto.

In fact, Kushina was a bit uncomfortable with the fact that she received a monthly allowance and stayed at home all the time, but now Naruto is only three years old.

She was going to wait until Naruto starts going to the academy and go to Yeruashi and ask him to continue his work as a ninja... although due to the fact that Minato died fighting for Konoha, Kushina deserves all of this, but she wanted to continue being a ninja and help Konoha.

"He really is a wonderful Hokage."

Mikoto couldn't help but nod at Kushina's words, after all, even the legendary First Hokage couldn't tame the Kyubi.
