the red demon?

the first sentence that she says after being revived is.

"So, make sure to give me a good reason to not beat your head, ttebane!"

The red-haired woman demands an explanation from Kaoru but, he is still too tired to answer.

"let me ... rest ... a moment ..." Kaoru answer weakly.

"Huh? Today's shinobi is too weak, tired just after performing such easy Jutsu"

hearing her words, made Kaoru twitch, if could he want to flip a table and throw it at her face.

'easy? Don't lump me with Uzumaki like you who only behind a bijuu in terms of chakra volume, old hag!'

Kaoru swore at her in his mind, since he was too tired to do anything but, the woman's instinct was too strong

"did you think something rude kid?!"

Kaoru immediately used all his power to shake his head, and he started to regret summoning her.

"Maa, I will just wait here then, make sure to recover faster!"

Kaoru then takes all his time to recover and control his chakra.

------

this red-haired woman is Uzumaki Kushina, the wife of the fourth Hokage, and also the mother of Uzumaki Naruto.

she is the former jinchuriki of kyubi and also one of the strongest ninjas in Konoha.

after Kaoru recovered he started to give her some explanation of what happened to her, Konoha, and other people but, everything around them started shaking and trembling when Kaoru told her about her son's life.

her killing intent burst out and Kaoru have to hold her to make sure that she didn't destroy everything in this place or go crazy and run toward Hokage's office.

"release me kid, I want to kill that old man, he promises us that he will take care of Naruto but he betrays us!" Kushina's eyes turn cold since she never thought that her son would live far worse than a prisoner in his own village.

"sorry Kushina-san but, Hiruzen is dead killed by his own student, so you will not meet him even if you go to Hokage's office"

"Really? he is dead?" Kushina is stunned by this information, at first she wants to kill Hiruzen with her own hands, and she also promises to punch her husband for believing that old bastard.

Kaoru only nodded, and Kushina became calmer now, she also started thinking about the reason Kaoru for reviving her, she had a bad guess but she needed to make sure.

"so, what do you want by reviving me, Jounin Kaoru?"

Kaoru strokes his air beard like some old man and says. "at first I just want a trump card against those old fools but, then I remember that I need to give Naruto a gift for his success and start to think about what Naruto always dreams for a long time is a family, that why I choose to revive you his mother to become a gift for him, so what do you think, my gift is the best right?"

Kushina was stunned when she heard what Kaoru said, she never thought that Kaoru would say in front of her face that he wanted her as a trump card against his enemies, but at the same time to become a gift for her son.

she also found no lie in Kaoru that made her impression on Kaoru better, at first she still had a doubt about the user of forbidden Jutsu such as Edo Tensei but, the longer she talked with Kaoru, the better she knew about him.

"fine, I never thought that there was a person who is sane enough to use a dead person as a gift, but count me in, this time I will pamper Naruto as much as he wants as my apologies for his suffering"

both Kaoru and Kushina smile since their cooperation is established this time.

"ah! Make sure to not make Naruto into a spoiled brat, or someone with a young master syndrome!"

Kushina only smiled and didn't say anything, what Kaoru didn't know was that Kushina's way of pampering made Kakashi turn into a lazy person since he didn't have any time to rest or play around.

-----

it's just been a day after Kaoru revived Kushina, this time both of them did spar since Kaoru wanted to know the gap between him and the true Kage rank powerhouse.

Kushina's fighting style is a combination of Taijutsu and Fuinjutsu, and Kaoru has to make a comment that her style will make anyone stressed.

when he attacks Kushina could suddenly disappear and reappear at any random direction and make a counter, if someone blocks her attack or counter then they need to pray that she didn't use any sealing Jutsu that needs some contact.

and even if they could evade her attack they also needed to pray that she didn't use a spatial-type seal and spam a long-range attack with all kinds of weapons that also covered in too many kinds of seal.

Kaoru has to renew his view on the Uzumaki clan, their seal is too annoying to fight fortunately, they are a pacifist clan otherwise the world would be conquered by them, he also at least understands the fear of those Shinobis' village.

Humans always fear what is far stronger than them, and in this world, the Uzumaki clan is far stronger than any village, that's why they choose to band together to destroy the Uzumaki even if Uzumaki is not an ambitious clan.

at first, Kaoru was overwhelmed by Kushina but, the longer the spar, Kaoru slowly found the pace and started his counter one by one.

Kushina was also shocked by Kaoru's perception and his learning speed, just by looking once he could find the counter for her Jutsu, and this was the first time in a long time that she needed to fight with her brain and not just by pure power.

"What kind of food that you eat to become a monster like that Kaoru?" Kushina can't make a comparison about Kaoru's ability.

"of course, it must be Mama Shirou's food, the best chef that you could ask for, no matter the ingredients mama Shirou's could turn it into delicious and healthy food"

Kushina's mouth twitched with Kaoru's shameless sales promotion, and she also understood that she would not get any answer from him.
