7. Training starts

(3rd PoV)

As Kushina entered Kei's house with Mikoto, she was horrified.

War...

War took Obito's life, and even crippled Kei.

If only she was allowed on the battlefield, she would crush those invaders!

And, it seems the problem is not just outside the borders.

Mikoto was having tea with her, complaining that Itachi is too disciplined for a kid, and doesn't have any friends.

Just then, Itachi had come and informed her that Kei has arrived in the village, and handed Mikoto a scroll.

It stated that Danzo had leaked the location of the map and the exact coordinates to Onoki of where she was standing. That's why, she lost her left arm in a surprise attack, rendering most of her ninjutsu useless, and she barely escaped at the cost of her legs too.

That damned Danzo! She had always felt that he was shady. Due to being the Nine-tails jinchuriki with a seal not as good as Naruto, she was connected to Kurama more closely, and could sense negative emotions. Moreover, she also had the Mind's Eye of Kagura.

Danzo is the evilest person in Konoha.

Recently, there was also a commotion where Kei stormed to the Aburame clan to demand answers for an assassination attempt on her, and it was revealed to be a Danzo's subordinate.

No wonder she had asked Minato and her to create several barriers so that even mosquitoes shouldn't be able to enter her house.

When Minato recreated Rasengan, a jutsu she created at the age of 10, Minato apologized to her and she asked Kushina to teach her fuinjutsu whenever she was in the village.

Kushina didn't really have any reason to refuse, and she was getting bored by the war anyway.

"Well, now that I am permanently inside village, I will be able to learn fuinjutsu properly."

Surprisingly, Kei didn't seem to be too depressed.

The three talked about things, while Mei was trying to keep the fish alive out of water using medical ninjutsu. Mei hasn't awakened the Sharingan yet, so her learning speed wasn't that good. Not everyone has the talent and low chakra reserves of Sakura and Rin.

"By the way, how was fighting a tailed beast?"

Kushina asked curiously. Minato had to escape from the two tailed beasts of Iwa, when he first noticed the Bijudama which inspired him to create Rasengan. He is now fighting on the Kumo battlefield, and had several encounters with Killer Bee, who he has called a 'perfect jinchuriki'.

Kei had famously led the four tails to use Bijudama on Iwa itself, and has escaped many encounters with the Five tails.

Kei thought about it, and said, "Fighting Roshi wasn't hard. He was hot-headed as lava, and fire-style and it's derivatives are never going to hit."

She chuckled, even though Mikoto cast her a stink eye. Afterall, Fire style is the main speciality of the Uchiha clan besides Sharingan.

"When he would loose control, I distracted four tails and asked whether he is the Monkey King or Third Hokage's summon, Emma. I would challenge his pride and ask him if he could shoot Bijudama towards Iwa or not. And if my Kirin is stronger or his Kirin.

He was rather easy to get along. And seemed to enjoy competing with me to prove why he is the real Monkey King. Sadly, Roshi would fight him and forcibly try to take control, leading to rampages. But by that time, the damage would be done."

Kushina was stunned.

"You talked to Four-tails!?"

"Yeah. I mean, Roshi was my enemy. Why would a bijuu care about pesky humans' wars? And Roshi is his enemy. And Roshi is very loyal to Iwa. I just suggested him that destroying Iwa would cause more pain to Roshi."

Kurama inside Kushina, wrapped in chains, perked up hearing that.

"And Five-tails?"

"Well... Five tails was a pretty chill and decent guy. I talked to him respectfully, asked his name, and if he wanted to be friends with me. I think after 9 and 8 tails, he is the strongest.

But he hmph'ed and ran away in a different direction. I think he is a tsundere prince."

"Tsundere!?"

"Prince!?"

"I was actually more scared of Han. He is incredibly fast. Perhaps on par with Minato without his Flying Thunder God. Taijutsu is also useless against him. And since he is so fast, catching him under genjutsu is also very difficult. Thankfully, lightning is his weakness. But if I wasn't so good at escaping, he would have surely killed me. He is a Kage level opponent.

Thankfully, he often lost control.

Hey Kushina. Please ask Kyuubi if Five-tails is really the strongest after him and eight?"

Kurama hmph'ed.

"I don't care. I am the strongest even against all of them combined. It doesn't matter if it is One-tails or Eight-tails."

Kushina scoffed at him, and tightened the chains. As Kurama snarled and gave death threats to her, she said, "You sure are arrogant."

"I will tear you apart!"

Kushina ignored his threat, and said, "It doesn't know. But Nine-tails is probably the weakest."

Kei looked at Kushina like she is an idiot.

"Anyway, Kushina, how are Rin and Kakashi holding up?"

"...Fine."

In this timeline, Kakashi's squad was going to destroy a Kumo supply line, but Rin was kidnapped.

And when Kakashi and Obito went to save her, Obito died by getting crushed in a cave.

It was almost the same as canon. The only differences were that Obito got crushed in Kumo battlefield instead of Iwa battlefield. Kakashi even got the Sharingan.

Well, it is a good thing that Obito wouldn't have both Kamui.

And now that Kei thought about it, they must have brought back Obito's body. Afterall, Minato had arrived at that scene. And, that body must be a White Zetsu...

Digging his grave will not be too hard. Afterall, she has a version of Kamui that is combination of both Kakashi and Obito's minus the intangibility part. Her genjutsu is top notch. And since she was deployed in Iwa, she has copied a lot of Earth Style jutsus.

She will just need to learn one handed seals and make sure that any Hyuga is not stationed near the graveyard.

Well, for now, she needs to start training.

Afterall, it is a different matter if she can transplant the Zetsu safely or not. Afterall, Hashirama's chakra is too obvious. But, if the Zetsu can change its chakra signature...

Anyway, she will still start creating prosthetics. Afterall, there is a very high possibility that Zetsu which would have been pretending to be Obito's dead body might have already moved away.

For now, let's start training with one handed handsigns.
