Chapter 137 - Chapter 136: Plans Can't Keep Up with Changes

Given Namikaze Minato's attitude towards Uchiha Obito during the Fourth Great Ninja War in the original story, he would most likely have forgiven him.

Although Naruto's personality was greatly influenced by Asura's chakra, it was also influenced by his parents' personalities.

Namikaze Minato was called the perfect ninja. As a benchmark for ninja, his mastery of the "endurance" principle, for the sake of the greater good and for a reason, was certainly not low.

Besides, the man was already dead. With Minato's personality, he probably wouldn't have wanted to see Kushina remain a widow for the rest of her life.

"What are you standing there for?"

"Get to it!" Danzō urged impatiently.

"You guys go first. I want to be alone for a while and think about how to proceed..." Kushina said with a blank expression.

"If you want to think, go home and think. I don't want to expose my back to you," Danzō said even more impatiently.

The golden state she had just been in was too fast. If she turned and exposed her back, he and Torune might not be able to react in time.

Kushina's expression did not change, but she secretly thought it was a pity. She still had the idea of trying a sneak attack with all her strength, but she hadn't completely made up her mind.

Now that there was no chance, she didn't have to try to make up her mind.

"Hmph, coward!"

Kushina snorted coldly, turned, and leaped away, quickly disappearing.

After Kushina was gone, Danzō and the others turned and left.

Kushina quickly returned to her fellow clan member and best friend's house. As soon as she entered, she was pulled aside by Uzumaki Karin, who asked impatiently.

"Kushina, what's the situation?"

Kushina did not answer immediately, but looked at Uzumaki Karin. "Karin, go to your room and rest. It's no good for you to hear this. It will only bring danger."

Uzumaki Karin turned her head. "Karin, go and rest. Your Aunt Kushina and I will definitely rescue Naruto."

"Yes." Uzumaki Karin left reluctantly.

The two sisters did not talk in the living room, but went to the bedroom to talk, and even set up a barrier.

After hearing the whole story, Uzumaki Karin was dumbfounded. She never would have thought that something like this would happen...

After coming to her senses, Uzumaki Karin smiled, "Kushina, this is a blessing in disguise. It will be easy to get Naruto back."

"And becoming Lord Kogetsu's woman is also a great thing. It's a blessing in disguise."

Kushina rolled her eyes and said irritably, "How is it that easy?"

"How is it a great thing?"

"How is it a blessing in disguise?"

"Alas... I only made this decision because I had no other choice. I've wronged Minato."

Uzumaki Karin comforted her, "Although I've never met Minato, I believe he would definitely understand you."

Kushina's eyes lit up. She pleaded, "Karin, you're not resistant to Kogetsu at all, and you even think it's an honor. In that case, you do it for me."

Uzumaki Karin's expression was troubled. "Lord Kogetsu has shown me great kindness. I'm willing, but I'm afraid Danzō will find out and harm Naruto."

"Can't you just discuss it with Kogetsu?" Kushina said, her eyes rolling.

Uzumaki Karin reminded her, "Have you forgotten the words on the photo?"

"We can't reveal it before it's done. Danzō is treacherous and unscrupulous. If..."

"Whether or not to take the risk is up to you. I'll listen to you."

Kushina's expression flickered. After a long time, she gritted her teeth. "Forget it. Naruto's safe return is the most important thing!"

"I'll go find Kogetsu right now."

Uzumaki Karin grabbed Kushina's hand. "Wait a moment. Are you just going to go over there in such a hurry?"

"It's already late. Kogetsu might already be resting with Kurenai or Nonō."

"Can you say it in front of them?"

Kushina's expression was serious. She gritted her teeth. "Even if I can't, I have to. I'm going to rescue Naruto tonight!"

"How about this? You go home first. I'll disguise myself as an Anbu ninja and make a trip, saying that Lord Hokage has an urgent matter for Lord Kogetsu to handle."

"Hmm... about your urgent matter."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Karin," Kushina said with a forced smile.

"Not at all. I'm happy to help you. You've also shown me great kindness," Uzumaki Karin said with a broad smile.

After the two women had discussed it, they immediately took action...

When Uzumaki Karin arrived, Kageyama Kogetsu and Nonō Yakushi were not resting. She used her identity as an Anbu ninja to falsely relay the Hokage's orders.

Kageyama Kogetsu deliberately pretended not to notice and only acted to restrain Uzumaki Karin after he had left.

"How dare you use the Transformation Jutsu to impersonate an Anbu? Are you underestimating me?" Kageyama Kogetsu said with a blank expression.

"It's me, Lord Kogetsu." With a puff of white smoke, Uzumaki Karin revealed her true form.

Kageyama Kogetsu withdrew his hand, which was shining with a lightning blade. He said with amusement, "Wait, Karin, what are you up to?"

Uzumaki Karin lowered her head, embarrassed. "Lord Kogetsu, it's too late."

"I was too embarrassed to disturb you with a private matter, so I borrowed the identity of an Anbu and Lord Hokage's name."

Uzumaki Karin's actions, if taken seriously, were a grave crime.

Kageyama Kogetsu smiled faintly. "It seems the matter is very important. Speak."

"By the way, in the future, never impersonate an Anbu or falsely relay the Hokage's orders in front of others. The consequences are very serious."

She wouldn't die, of course. After all, Uzumaki Karin was very valuable. But the punishment would not be light. It was equivalent to impersonating the Jinyiwei and falsely relaying an imperial edict.

"Yes, Lord Kogetsu."

"Actually, it's Kushina who's looking for you. She wasn't free earlier, so I came to inform you."

Kageyama Kogetsu was inwardly moved and nodded slightly. "It seems Sister Kushina is in a lot of trouble. Let's go then."

"I won't go. Kushina wants to see you alone at her house."

"Is that so... alright then. You go back first."

"Mm."

Soon, Kageyama Kogetsu arrived at Kushina's door. He reached out and knocked, and the door opened quickly.

"Kogetsu, you're here. Please come in," Kushina's expression was not very natural, and she stammered a little.

"Alright."

Kushina stepped inside and asked casually, "Is there an urgent matter, Sister Kushina?"

"Why don't I see Naruto?"

Kushina followed behind and answered, "Naruto is staying at Sasuke's house. We'll talk about it later."

Naruto isn't here, the two women's strange behavior, the ninja monitoring with a telescope nearby...

Danzō's efficiency is really high!

"Wait, what is the matter?"

"Karin impersonated an Anbu ninja and falsely relayed the Hokage's orders. I rushed over in a hurry, and you're wearing pajamas, Sister Kushina..."

"This doesn't seem like an urgent matter," Kageyama Kogetsu said, feigning ignorance and complaining with a speechless expression.

The pajamas were orange with blue flowers, a very ordinary style, with a top and pants, rather loose.

Hearing this, the courage Kushina had been building up for a long time dissipated considerably...

How should she answer?

Should she say that she had called him over in a hurry to do some things that married couples do?

How could she say that?

If she said it, she would surely be looked down upon, and yet it was not good to tell the truth...

She had been away from home for so long. The Root ninja might have planted listening devices in her house.

She had taken a quick bath after returning home and had only checked the bedroom. She hadn't had time to check the other places yet.

What was most infuriating was that she still had to find a chance to make things clear. Damn you, Danzō!

Plans really can't keep up with changes. The reckless plan won't work. I don't have enough courage. I can only choose the second option.

"My matter is both urgent and not urgent," Kushina said with a forced smile.

"When did you start speaking so mysteriously, Sister Kushina?"

"I'm getting more and more interested," Kageyama Kogetsu said with a slight smile, his expression expectant.

"Sit. We'll talk over a drink."

"Alright."

Kushina went to get the wine and snacks. Kageyama Kogetsu sat on the sofa with a calm expression, but his thoughts were wandering.

Although both involved wine, Kushina is dressed conservatively. Her approach should be different from Mikoto's. What is her approach?

I'm so looking forward to it!
