"No, I only said that a thief destroyed that room. Sister Tsunade was very angry, but she didn't lose her temper at that time... Later, I found out that she left the village and never returned," Kushina still felt a little guilty about this matter.
Although their blood relationship was weak, what her husband said was right, Tsunade was indeed her only relative.
Likewise, she was also Tsunade's only family.
It's just a pity that she was too weak back then and failed to keep Tsunade.
"I wonder how Sister Tsunade is doing now... But..."
"But what?"
"Now that I think about it, maybe my husband really was the former owner of that room, and maybe he's the guy Sister Tsunade always used to talk about..."
"That's possible... But Kage doesn't seem to have ever mentioned Lady Tsunade."
"Right, maybe they broke up long ago," Mikoto's reminder made Kushina's eyes light up, but she quickly dimmed again.
"He also rarely mentions you in front of me, Mikoto."
"Uh..."
'That's true. It's not impossible that Uchiha Kage deliberately hid things.'
"Forget it, let's not think too much. I'll take you to look for the souls of the Uchiha clan. It's so stuffy here, only outside has a few more people," Kushina splashed out of the bath and then picked up a towel to carefully wipe her body.
"Mikoto... it's black after all,".Looking at her best friend who stood up afterwards, then glancing at herself, Kushina couldn't help but complain.
Sure enough, whatever the hair color is, that place matches...
"Kushina!", Mikoto, who slowly stood up from the water, quickly grabbed a bath towel to cover herself.
'This damn woman, she really should be disciplined more by Kage!'
———
"So many Uchiha... died?"
Bringing Uchiha Mikoto to the soul-body centralized management point outside the "Konoha Village," Kushina saw a large group of soul bodies wearing clothes with the Uchiha clan crest.
"Mm..."
'Almost completely wiped out, how could there not be many...'
Uchiha Mikoto's mouth twitched slightly.
She didn't feel it was appropriate to explain to Kushina that this was all her son's "masterpiece."
"Ah, that Uchiha girl with a tear mole on her face is so pretty...", Among the crowd of Uchiha soul bodies, Kushina used her eyes to pick out a few exceptionally beautiful kunoichi.
Then she couldn't help but fix her gaze on the most beautiful one among them for a few more seconds.
"To die so young, what a pity."
"She...", Uchiha Mikoto had some impression of the soul body that Kushina pointed out.
'Seems to be Itachi's classmate...'
'And probably...'
'Forget it, this is just too cruel.'
Maybe this poor girl was the one Itachi personally killed that night.
"You know her?"
"Mm... I think her name is Uchiha Izumi, a truly pitiful child."
"Then let's bring her back. Maybe my husband will let her 'revive.'"
"Really... can revive?", Uchiha Mikoto recalled that Uchiha Kage had mentioned something like that before.
"Of course, even Minato was revived, so she definitely can be too," Kushina was a bit eager to try. Soul bodies couldn't be clearly seen, only after revival could one fully see the girl's complete appearance.
If her personality was good too, it would mean another person to talk to.
With only her and Mikoto in this whole "Konoha Village," it was still too lonely.
"Alright..."
This was all her eldest son's sin. If all the innocent clansmen could be revived, Mikoto felt she might feel a bit better inside.

[Konoha Village]
[Hokage Tower]
"Nothing was stolen?"
"Yes."
"And the thief?"
"We only saw a shadow... then it disappeared."
Kneeling on one knee, the ANBU ninja reporting to Hiruzen also found it a bit strange.
"Understood. You may leave."
'Seems like the Hokage Tower attack was just a false alarm.'
'However...'
'We can't let the enemy escape every time. Otherwise, won't Konoha's security become a joke?'
It's been several days now. This keeps happening every day. If he doesn't catch the person behind this, how can he maintain his dignity as Hokage?
"If only the Konoha Military Police Force were still around," After the disturbance at the Hokage Tower subsided, Hiruzen couldn't help but miss the Uchiha Police Force.
With the Uchiha's Sharingan, no one dared to come and go in Konoha so brazenly.
Now...
He could only rely on the Hyuga clan to hold the line.
"Go have Hiashi dispatch some men, Konoha needs Byakugan for its security force."
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
———
"So this Uchiha Kage didn't awaken the Sharingan. No wonder that person excluded him when mentioning the Uchiha..."
'Without the Sharingan, he truly doens't count as a real Uchiha.'
Orochimaru looked at the intelligence passed on by Danzo with a delighted expression.
"Danzo seems very happy to provide us with Uchiha Kage's data," Kabuto, who was standing beside him, pushed his glasses up.
This was the first time he'd seen their deal with Danzo go so smoothly.
"Hmph, that Danzo guy is so petty. This blind Uchiha must've offended him before,".Placing Uchiha Kage's data sheet aside, Orochimaru was still more interested in Uchiha Sasuke's file.
"Once Konoha is destroyed, Sasuke-kun should be more than happy to come with me."
Everyone's enemy is Uchiha Itachi.
After reading all the files, Orochimaru already had a plan on how to lure Sasuke.
As for the confidence to execute the plan to destroy Konoha, Danzo had already sent it to him.
"And accidentally let me discover... a method of improvement. I really can't wait to see the look on sensei's old face when he weeps in regret before me," Licking his lips, Orochimaru regained full confidence in his plan.

[On the Other Side]
"Honey, I found you a little wife, do you want her?", Seeing Uchiha Kage appear before her, Kushina immediately pounced.
"What little wife, looks like you're itching for a beating."
But even though he said that, already knowing about Kushina and Mikoto's actions in the dream space, Uchiha Kage still revived Uchiha Izumi according to their wishes.
"You'll be in charge of taking care of their daily lives from now on," After reviving the girl, Uchiha Kage gave her this order.
Indeed, such a big "Konoha" with only Kushina and Mikoto did feel too empty.
Besides, living here also required doing chores. Having someone to share the work wasn't bad.
After all, every time after some "clouds/rain," the house needed a good cleanup.
And Kushina and Mikoto both needed time to recover their stamina afterward.
"...", Uchiha Izumi, who had just been revived from a soul state, was still a bit dazed.
She seemed to remember that she encountered Uchiha Itachi, 'Who was killing... killing the clan, and a masked man...'
'Wait a minute, wasn't I already killed?'
Uchiha Izumi looked in surprise at her body, then finally snapped awake.
'That's right, I lost the fight against that masked man and died, becoming a soul and arriving here.'
'Now I've... been revived?'
'And...'
"Mikoto... auntie?", Uchiha Izumi didn't recognize the man who revived her, but the mature beauty before her left a deep impression.
'After all, she is Itachi's...'
