Chapter 69: Kidnapping Kushina
At dusk, Uzumaki Kushina, covered in sweat but smiling, made her way home.
In Konoha, once she entered the Senju clan's territory, she didn't notice that it was quieter than usual around her.
"I'm back!"
Kushina called out cheerfully to the empty mansion. However, this time, no one responded.
Being within Konoha, and especially within the Senju territory, she hadn't sensed a...

In Konoha Village.
On a hot August day, sparrows chirped under the summer sun in the training grounds.
"You're too strong, Mikoto."
Uzumaki Kushina panted, slumping down on the grass after facing Uchiha Mikoto, who sheathed her sword. She looked at Mikoto in awe, clearly tired out from their training session.
Mikoto smiled and shook her head. "When I was your age, Kushina, ...

"Still, Grandma, this isn't fair to Kushina."
Inside the room, Tsunade, feeling relaxed around her grandmother, expressed her dissatisfaction openly.
"Kushina might not have grown up in the village, but over the past few years, you must have seen that she’s committed to making this place her home. She doesn't want to be seen as an outsider; she wants to be accepted here, which is why sh...

Orochimaru’s casual laugh filled the air as he remarked, “That Kusanagi Sword we found in the Land of Grass really wasn’t suitable for me, after all. Compared to it, the power of the Curse Mark is far more valuable to me.”
Tsunade looked at him with a mix of exasperation and familiarity. Even though the Kusanagi Sword was a rare and powerful weapon, Orochimaru showed no regret in g...

With a shout, a brilliant blue Rasengan smashed into a wooden post, breaking it cleanly in half.

At Mikoto's words, Yosuke realized he hadn’t nam...

Elder Setsuna had passed away without causing any ripples in Konoha. Those aligned with the Third Hokage merely responded with cold smiles and disdain.
*At the training ground*
“Big sister Mikoto, I actually wanted to ask you about this jutsu,” Uzumaki Kushina said, wiping the sweat from her forehead and smiling warmly as she looked at Mikoto, seeking advice on her technique.

At this moment, a unique diamond-shaped curse mark appeared on Uchiha Yosuke’s palm. He pressed it onto Elder Setsuna’s gradually cooling eyes.
Immediately, a cold yet smooth energy flowed through his arm into his body, reaching his eyes.

He looked down at the blade of his sword, Dawn. Under the moonlight, the reflection showed a pair of eyes with a sun pattern.
It was the Mangekyou Sharingan!

With that playful remark from Tsunade, Kushina’s face turned a deep red, looking awkwardly between Tsunade and Mito.
