Kushina felt Aomi was very pitiable.
From her perspective, Aomi was a bright and cheerful young man, just like Minato.
Born into the Uchiha but lacking an arrogant personality, he had immense strength yet was gentle like a little sun, a perfect representation of the Will of Fire.
Even though Aomi had once "competed" with Namikaze Minato for the position of Hokage.
Kushina couldn't bring herself to dislike Aomi...
The emotional Kushina put herself in Aomi's shoes—
A Uchiha who loved the village, a genius boy aiming to become Hokage, at the pinnacle of life when stepping onto the battlefield as a hero, only to be schemed against by the Former Hokage...
Switching perspectives...
If, in name, Uzumaki Mito was taking care of her clansmen, yet in reality, aiming to seize her body...
Kushina felt she would collapse for sure!
If there was also a Nine-tails inside her, Kushina thought she would tear open the Seal and vent her darkened life with her life...
But the Aomi in front of her...
Appeared as if nothing had happened.
Although there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes, he was still gently conversing with Inada Kojiro, demonstrating an affable attitude towards the villagers, sincerely tasting the Three-Colored Pills in his hand.
Is this what they call composure?
Kushina gazed at Aomi's white hair, feeling a bit anxious in her heart.
How she wished her speculation was wrong...
But her exceptional Perception Ability, in this close proximity sitting opposite Aomi, allowed her to sense a hint of emotion in the Chakra...
She felt in the core of Aomi's being there were rhythmings of anxiety, hesitation, anger, helplessness, even a touch of extreme darkness, coldly swimming within.
Kushina's perception was precise because the target she perceived was indeed within Aomi—Senju Tobirama.
At this moment, the Second Hokage was unconsciously activating a pair of scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan, staring fixedly at the high-hanging Nine Tomoe Rinnegan, forcing himself to find a way to help Aomi...
However, although Kushina's sensory of emotions was precise, she misunderstood...
She mistook Senju Tobirama's emotions as the resentment buried deep within Aomi's heart...
Yet, due to the Will of Fire and his gentle nature, Aomi hid it deep down, just like the Seal placed on the Nine-tails within her.
"What a gentle boy..."
Kushina squeezed her fist powerlessly, numerous memories surfacing in her mind, her expression growing increasingly solemn.
She thought of the multiple times Tsunade approached her privately, always mentioning certain topics...
"Kushina, is there a type of Fuinjutsu targeting the soul or conscious Chakra entities?"
"Ah, don't overthink it, I'm just curious, it's just research, research..."
Kushina was very curious at the time why Tsunade was interested in this area.
In the Ninja World, the Spirit Transformation Jutsu that attacks with the soul was only known as a Kinjutsu in Konoha, and after Katou Dan's death, no ninja in Konoha had even mastered this jutsu.
As for conscious Chakra entities, at the time, the only thing Kushina thought of were the Tailed Beasts.
She originally thought Tsunade was figuring out a way to help her control the Nine-tails, even reassuring Tsunade not to worry, as even Uzumaki Mito couldn't completely control the Nine-tails, being able to avoid excessive conflict with the demon fox through Aomi's mediation was already good enough...
Looking back now, Tsunade had long known about the situation inside Aomi and was privately making preparations...
Kushina's heart suddenly trembled, her anger at Senju Tobirama's brutal actions slightly soothed, realizing there were still decent people with firm principles in this village!
Even though Senju Tobirama was Tsunade's granduncle,
Tsunade still chose to find a way to protect Aomi, quietly searching for a method to resolve Aomi's plight.
"Evil, evil Second..."
Kushina couldn't help but curse in her mind, suddenly standing up, and solemnly said to Aomi:
"Aomi, if you need anything, remember to tell me, I will do my utmost to help you!"
"Later after we finish eating, I have some ninja scrolls to give you, do your best!"
「From the confrontation target Uzumaki Kushina: You have acquired a special Talent—Kushina's Anger!」
[Detected similar or complementary special Talent, meeting the fusion criteria—]
[Similar or complementary special Talent available for fusion—]
[Currently, you can synthesize—Kushina's Anger, Uzumaki Mito's Blessing!]
[Synthesize?]
[Synthesizing...]
[You have acquired a special Talent—Guard of the Uzumaki!]
[Guard of the Uzumaki]: Your Uzumaki Bloodline purity has significantly increased, and the power of using the Uzumaki Bloodline and Secret Techniques is greatly enhanced!
"Thank you, Kushina."
Aomi smiled helplessly: "I will do my best."
Kushina looked at Aomi at this moment, her gaze somewhat dazed.
For some reason, Kushina seemed to see Aomi's crimson white hair momentarily flash with red light...
Just like the distinctive red hair of the purest Uzumaki Clan!
Kushina blinked hard—is this an illusion?
Aomi tasted the pill, finding Kushina's ability to fill in the gaps mentally quite strong.
He came to this dango shop mainly for the Nine-tails within Kushina, to get more Chakra from this fox as a small gift when meeting and interacting with Kaguya later.
But the Nine-tails hadn't even acted yet...
Kushina just glanced at Aomi's hair color, quietly sensed him for a moment, then herself emptied out the family heritage of the Uzumaki Clan...
