Chapter 72: The Kyuubi (Edited)

After delivering the sword to the Anbu department for repair and obtaining a customized scabbard, Naito returned to the surface.

No more wandering, no more accepting any more missions, no more bothering to get involved with the Uchiha Clan, Naito went straight back home.

The place where Naito now lived was no longer the humble, ramshackle hut it used to be, but had been moved closer to the center of Konoha.

After all, Naito was now a member of the Anbu department.

Some of the Anbu don't even have a home of their own, they just live in the Anbu department.

Back home, Naito planned and prepared to further intensify his training.

So far, Naito needed to go through many battles, so he only practiced Jutsus and created techniques to better use his Kekkei Genkai, but now he needs to concentrate on training his body.

It was already getting dark and obviously there was no chance to train today, so he needed to prepare himself to start his practice again tomorrow.

In fact, he thought about doing other missions with Duy, but after thinking about it, Naito decided to continue his training.

Since this may intercept his plans to focus on strengthening his body, he will need to learn more moves on how he can hide and track enemies.

"Let's rest today," Stretching, Naito relaxed and left the room, jumping onto the roof and admiring the view of Konoha.

It was just as the sun was about to set, and the last rays of the setting sun illuminated the Hokage monument.

This fabulous view made Naito stand outside for a moment.

But the sun did not stop there, and darkness began to descend on Konoha.

It was at that moment that Naito glanced down, but was slightly surprised to see a familiar figure.

What his eyes landed on was the figure of a girl, but when he thought about it, it didn't seem so surprising to see her.

....

In front of Naito's house.

Kushina used to visit Naito every day.

But Naito left on a mission with Duy in a hurry and hadn't told her, so she was worried about him and wanted to know what happened to him, but she couldn't find any information.

She came every day, but the house was empty.

While waiting for any information about Naito, she was also inexplicably depressed, "This guy always does things without telling me, he even leaves the village at a time like this! Doesn't he care about his safety at all!?"

The next moment, concern and dejection turned to exasperation.

Kushina looked towards the door of the house and stomped her foot on the ground, muttering, "When I get home, I'll be sure to give him a good thrashing!"

When Naito heard this sentence, he almost fell off the roof.

The first sentence made Naito's heart flutter and at the same time he wanted to apologize a little for leaving the village without even warning Kushina, only for the last sentence to make Naito's a little worried.

"Huh... Wait, why does it look like someone came in?", Just as Kushina calmed her emotions a few moments later and was about to leave, she suddenly got a slight flash of her beautiful eyes and revealed a surprised expression.

The next moment, as Kushina approached Naito's house and took a deep look at the door.

At that moment, of course, Naito couldn't hide anymore and came down from the roof of the house and jumped behind Kushina.

"Good evening," Naito greeted with a calm expression.

"..."

Kushina turned around and looked at Naito blankly.

Then she exploded, pouncing on Naito with teeth and claws ready to bite and claw him, "You idiot!!!"

Well, he knew he deserved it, leaving without telling him was a bit harsh.

However, when he was about to be hit by Kushina, the latter, instead of hitting him, hugged him, murmuring, "Don't go away so suddenly again...though don't worry about you, at least..."

Naito was slightly stunned and then thought, 'This is a bit strange.'

With a hint of doubt in his eyes, Naito gently stroked her head comfortingly and asked, "Did something happen?"

"No, nothing's wrong," Kushina turned away from Naito and averted her gaze.

This made Naito even more suspicious, something must be wrong!

In her eyes, Naito also saw a hint of fear.

What was he afraid of?

Naito couldn't think of anything.

And the next moment, Kushina's words, with a hint of hesitation and a trembling voice, made Naito understand what was going on instantly.

"Naito... What would you think of me if, and I mean if, I turned into a monster?", Kushina's heart flipped when she said this sentence.

At that moment, she didn't look like the red hot-blooded habanero, she was just a little girl overwhelmed by fear and dread.

If he were anyone else, he definitely wouldn't understand what Kushina was referring to.

He would have taken it as a joke.

But Naito was a different case.

The Kyuubi!

Is this the moment when Kushina becomes the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi?

However, there was no news about the death of the previous Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Mito.

Even if this matter was hidden, Naito did not sense any special aura on Kushina.

Was it because the Uzumaki Clan's sealing technique was so powerful?

No, it wasn't.

He had no idea about this situation, even in the anime, there was no detail about this event, Naito knew nothing about this situation.

But so far, the course of the future had not changed much.

Thinking about this, Naito shook his head in his mind.

In fact, these things are not important, regardless of whether this is happening now or in the near future, the fact that Kushina is the Jinchuriki was hard to change.

Naito can't help her get rid of her future.

But, soon, Naito might have enough power to change her fate.

That time would not be far away.

"No matter, as long as you are still you, I will never change my thoughts about you," Naito reached out his hand and gently caressed Kushina's pretty face, with a soft and discreet look as he looked directly at her.

He really meant what he said.

To Naito, what if it was the Kyuubi? He was just a disobedient little fox in Kushina's body.

At some point, Naito was confident that in the future he would have the power to knock some sense into her.

If a punch didn't do the job, he would simply send a barrage of punches his way.

Hearing those kind words from Naito, the despair and fear Kushina felt turned into happiness and joy.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"You promise!?"

"Yes, I promise!"
