Naruto: Kushina's Redemption, My Revenge

Mito Uzumaki guessed that Chinya might have found a clue about the orphaned descendant of the Uzumaki Clan and wanted to find that orphan to replace Kushina Uzumaki as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Mito didn't immediately agree to Chinya's request.

She could also tell why Chinya had come—to gain her support for his plans in the future.

Because Chinya knew even if they found an Uzumaki orphan, it would still be difficult to convince Konoha to abandon Kushina.

Besides, even if Chinya had already found someone else, Mito still didn't approve of making that girl the new Jinchuriki.

So far, all the sealing techniques she had taught Kushina were specifically for controlling the Nine-Tails.

Kushina had worked so hard to master those techniques, and replacing her would mean all that effort had been for nothing.

And without knowledge of sealing techniques, the chances of the new Jinchuriki losing control would significantly increase.

A Jinchuriki who has lost control is extremely dangerous—an apocalyptic force to the village, and countless lives may be lost.

Seeing Mito's silent and conflicted expression, Chinya's heart gradually turned cold.

Over these years, Mito had been very good to Kushina. Chinya had thought Mito treated Kushina like her own daughter. He had believed that after he found a way to keep Kushina from becoming a Jinchuriki, Mito would surely agree.

But Chinya was wrong.

Compared to Konoha, Kushina wasn't important at all.

Chinya's expression grew slightly colder. "Mito-sama, I apologize for disturbing you so late. Please forget what I just said. But I'd like to ask you for another favor—one that won't be difficult for you."

Feeling the coldness in Chinya's tone and sensing his growing hostility, Mito felt a quiet ache inside.

She gave a slight nod.

Chinya made his second request: "Starting tomorrow, I'd like Kushina to live with me."

Mito looked at him in surprise. "Are you trying to keep Kushina away from me?"

Chinya denied it. "Not at all. Kushina has a very lively personality, and I worry she'll disturb your peace. Besides, she isn't your daughter—just another clan member. She's already imposed on you for so many years; continuing would be impolite.

From now on, I'll take care of Kushina. There's no need for Mito-sama to concern yourself with her anymore. I promise you—I will protect her well. As long as I'm alive, no harm will come to Kushina."

Mito smiled bitterly. "In your eyes, am I really nothing more than a fellow clanswoman to Kushina? All these years, I truly saw Kushina as my own daughter."

Chinya replied, "But that doesn't change the fact that you're not her real mother. Your only child is Tsunade-sama. Kushina was brought to Konoha from the start solely to serve as the Nine-Tails' host. You were only looking after her because you needed to prepare that role.

You just happened to develop some affection for her during that process."

Chinya's words could be described as harsh and cutting.

Mito Uzumaki's face, already lined with wrinkles, deepened further with creases.

Mito said solemnly, "Chinya, no matter how you see me or what you think of me, my feelings toward Kushina are genuine. You're not me, so you cannot negate the emotions I've carried for Kushina all these years.

Besides, Kushina becoming the Nine-Tails jinchūriki might not necessarily be a bad thing. With her Uzumaki constitution and our Sealing Technique, I believe Kushina can definitely control the Nine-Tails and turn its power into her own strength."

Chinya fixed his gaze steadily on Mito Uzumaki.

Actually, Chinya hadn't completely dismissed the idea that the Nine-Tails could become a source of power for Kushina Uzumaki.

However, this wouldn't work,

Because the system had stated that certain major events in the future would definitely occur.

The Fated Child would surely be born.

And the Nine-Tails, being the greatest source of power for the Fated Child, would certainly end up with him.

Therefore, Kushina Uzumaki becoming the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki posed a serious danger.

This was precisely why Chinya was so determined to prevent Kushina Uzumaki from becoming the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.

Chinya spoke to Mito Uzumaki, "I'm not denying Lady Mito's feelings for Kushina at all. Lady Mito is an excellent elder, and Kushina's growth until now is largely thanks to you.

You've done more than enough for Kushina already, Lady Mito. It's time you took a break. Please leave the rest to me. I'll take care of Kushina, so kindly grant me this request."

Mito pressed her temples with a weary sigh. "Why are you so determined to stop Kushina from becoming the jinchūriki? She's the most suitable candidate, and it's also the most practical solution for Konoha."

Chinya shot back icily, "Everyone believes Kushina is the most suitable candidate for the jinchūriki position, including you, the only family member she sees as close kin. But has anyone ever asked Kushina herself? Who would want a ticking time bomb sealed inside them, never knowing when it might explode?"

Mito Uzumaki was momentarily speechless.

She couldn't refute Chinya's words.

Finally, Chinya said, "Like you mentioned earlier, Kushina has grown up now. While there are things she cannot decide, there are also choices she should make herself. I will come tomorrow to pick up Kushina."

Chinya bowed deeply to Mito Uzumaki and turned around, leaving immediately.

After leaving Mito Uzumaki's estate, Chinya strode down the street with furrowed brows and a grim expression.

If they could secure Mito Uzumaki's support, then once Karin's mother was found, Kushina Uzumaki's chance of avoiding becoming the jinchūriki would have significant backing.

Because if Mito Uzumaki simply declared she was more suitable to be the jinchūriki than Kushina, Konoha would certainly prioritize her over Kushina.

As for the Sealing Technique, even if Mito Uzumaki passed away, Kushina Uzumaki, who had already mastered it, could easily pass it on to Karin's mother.

Thinking about Mito Uzumaki's claim that her feelings for Kushina were genuine, Chinya felt extreme contempt.

Ultimately, in Mito Uzumaki's heart, the interests of Konoha always came first; even her clanspeople couldn't surpass the village.

As a loyal supporter of Konoha, Chinya learned from Orochimaru about the full truth behind the fall of Kokuto.

The Uzumaki Clan played a major role in the peace and development of Konoha. They were the driving force, embodiment, and legacy of the Will of Fire.

However, other clans feared the Uzumaki Sealing Technique, so many nations and tribes launched attacks on Kokuto, ultimately leading to its destruction. The surviving members of the clan changed their names and scattered across the world.

Yet Konoha turned a blind eye to Kokuto's desperate pleas for help and chose to look on helplessly.

By the time Kokuto fell, not a single ninja had been sent to assist them.
