ASFUCITWON Chapter 175: Kushina Cries in the Park
🕑 Added 2025-04-04 13:23:26 +0000 UTCHowever, Mito did not answer immediately.
She stared at Tsunade for a moment, as if weighing something very important.
Finally, in a deeper tone, Mito said, "Call all the members of the Senju Clan who are ninjas."
The words struck like lightning on a clear day.
Tsunade's eyes widened.
Beside Tsunade, Nawaki was also shocked, nearly stepping back.
In their entire lives, Mito had never once commanded the members of the Senju Clan to gather.
Although Mito was not a direct descendant of the Senju, her status as a member of the Uzumaki Clan and the wife of Hashirama Senju earned her respect as part of their extended family.
Mito was the wife of the First Hokage, a kunoichi with extraordinary sealing powers, and had been the guardian of the Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi for many years.
However, Mito had always kept her distance from the affairs of the Senju Clan, choosing to live a quiet life in her residence.
So, why now?
Tsunade opened her mouth, wanting to ask, but before she could utter a word, Mito looked at Tsunade again.
The gaze was sharp, as if it could pierce through the doubts in Tsunade's heart.
"Why are you silent, Tsunade?"
Mito's voice did not rise, but it carried a weight that made Tsunade jump.
"Ah! I'm sorry, Grandma! I'm going now!"
Tsunade nodded quickly, almost stammering.
She immediately turned and dashed away, quickly searching for the first Senju Clan member she could find.
Tsunade's heart was still filled with questions, but she knew one thing—if Mito was asking for this, something significant must be happening.
Without wasting time, Tsunade quickly found one of the Senju ninjas and conveyed the message: "Gather all the members of the Senju Clan who are ninjas."
"Grandma Mito wants to meet with them."
"Spread this message as quickly as possible!"
The ninja nodded deeply, their expression turning serious before they hurried off to relay the message throughout the clan.
After ensuring her orders were being carried out, Tsunade returned to where Mito stood, still with Nawaki by Mito's side.
Mito remained calm, her eyes gazing far ahead, like a queen who already knew what would happen next.
Finally, Mito turned and said, "Let’s return to the Clan Leader's residence."
With firm and authoritative steps, Mito walked.
Tsunade and Nawaki followed Mito, still enveloped in questions and an increasingly strong sense of foreboding.

...
On the other side of the village, a red-haired girl ran aimlessly.
Kushina Uzumaki bit her lower lip, holding back the surge of emotions that threatened to explode from her chest.
Kushina's breath was quickening, not only from running but also because her heart felt tight.
The night air was starting to cool, but Kushina didn’t care.
Finally, Kushina slowed her pace.
Her feet stopped in front of a small, quiet park, illuminated only by the dim light along the path.
Kushina walked slowly toward a wooden bench under a tree.
She dropped herself there carelessly, her body feeling weak.
Kushina's small hands clenched in her lap, her shoulders trembling.
She wanted to hold back her tears, but eventually… the warm droplets fell anyway.
Kushina's cries were soft, silent sobs, but her shoulders continued to shake.
Kushina didn’t know how long she had been crying, but suddenly, she felt something.
The gaze of someone.
Kushina froze for a moment, then slowly lifted her head.
Behind her stood a boy, looking at her with a confused expression.
The boy had blonde hair, with bright blue eyes as clear as the morning sky.
He wore a white jacket with the hood down, long black pants, and dark blue sandals.
