The moment he left, Sarutobi looked at Danzo, since he couldnât say anything back to Naito, Danzo didnât want to look back at Sarutobi. Still, his anger was clear.
Naito has just put his boundaries.
He wonât allow anyone to intervene with Kus.h.i.+naâs matter, even if the hate was clear in everyone eyes to that Beast, they couldnât help but suppress it deep into their hearts.
âŠâŠâŠ..
Among the shelters, there was one who looked a little bit placed far away from the others.
Kus.h.i.+na sat there looking a bit awkward, from time to time, someone will pa.s.s by the window, and give her an incomparable disgust and hatred look.
Like Naruto in the original, although the Kyuubiâs runaway was completely unrelated to her, the people in the Village hated her for that.
The moment they know she was the Jinchruki of the Kyuubi they regarded her as the root of all evil, making her believe that she killed their loved ones, which made her blame herself for everything.
Naito pushed the door and walked in to find her all stressed out. He went quickly to her side and gently grabbed her little hand.
The look on Kus.h.i.+naâs face made Naito feel really pitiful which itâs a really rare thing.
Naito gently patted her head and comforted her: âThis is not your fault, donât blame yourself.â
âBut⊠Because of me, Konoha got destroyed, and so many people died.â
Kus.h.i.+na looked really sad, she was biting her lips with a self-blaming expression.
Looking at how miserable she was, Naito extended his hands around her and hugged her really tight and whispered in her ear.
âThis was the work of someone else behind the scenes, he manipulated things to destroy Konoha.â
âWhat?!â
Kus.h.i.+na got surprised and looked at Naito, waiting for further explanation.
Naito whispered again: âThink about it, do you really believe that the Eight Seals can be destroyed this easily? Obviously impossible, and remember the last time you were taken away by the CloudsâŠâ
After he reminded her about that accident, Kus.h.i.+na suddenly looked like she realized something.
âItâs a bit strange, do you think the CloudâŠâ
âNo, those people werenât skilled enough, they wouldnât be able to destroy the Seal.â Naito shook his head and said: âI can finally confirm the person behind this accident.â
âWho is it?â
Kus.h.i.+na looked confused, she couldnât believe that someone can actually break the seal without her noticing, and even control the Kyuubi!
Naito took a deep breath, then his eyes flashed, and finally revealed the truth to Kus.h.i.+na, saying: âHave you ever heard of the name⊠Uchiha Madara?â
âUchiha Madara?!â
Kus.h.i.+na looked terrified the moment she heard his name, and couldnât help but ask: âThe one who fought against the First Hokage Senju Hachirama? Didnât he die a long time ago?â
âNo, heâs not dead⊠Yet. Heâs still working on his plans in the dark, we kind of crossed our swords once beforeâŠâ Naito looked at Kus.h.i.+na, and told her everything about Madara, he didnât care that she will tell someone elseâs about this because it wonât effect Naito anyway.
Listening to Naitoâs words, Kus.h.i.+na was first horrified, then she gradually calmed down. Still, she believed him.
After she heard the whole story, Kus.h.i.+na felt a little bit relieved, she gently leaned her head against Naitoâs chest and lied there in his arms.
She felt sad about the whole damage that Konoha has suffered, yet, she was happy that she wasnât the cause of that accident.
âŠâŠ..
Kus.h.i.+na has finally fully recovered, after that she focused on controlling the Kyuubiâs chakra and enhance her strength, but also to be sure not to let the Kyuubi break free again.
Still, a lot of unexpected things were happening.
The Elders of the Village knew that everything was fine now, and they didnât change their att.i.tude toward Kus.h.i.+na; still, they became really protective about letting her go out of the Village.
However, the people didnât share the same idea as them, they didnât care about whoâs fault was that they all treated her with incomparable disgust and hate!
In their view, Kus.h.i.+na is the Kyuubi, and she killed their family and friends!
Although because of Naito, no one will pick up on her, or even dare to say something to her; still they all looked at her with disgust and hatred eyes.
What Kus.h.i.+na was experiencing now is much cruel than what Naito or Naruto has experienced in the Original.
Naito can prevent everyone from picking up on Kus.h.i.+na, but he canât change their att.i.tudes.
It will always be this way, respect for Naito, and hate for Kus.h.i.+na.
Some people were even talking about how Kus.h.i.+na is just an evil fox beast, and sheâs not worthy for Naito.
Although they didnât say these things directly to her, it was finally pa.s.sed by to Kus.h.i.+naâs ears.
âŠâŠâŠ
Rebuilt Konoha, at Naitoâs home.
There was no expensive furniture, everything looked simple.
Naito opened the door and walked in then turned to close it, suddenly Kus.h.i.+na came over and hugged him from behind.
âNaito-Kun, do you think it would have been better⊠If I didnât exist?â
She was trying her best to control the Kyuubi and help Konoha, but no one understood her.
Kus.h.i.+na is a powerful person, although no one understands her, she was still working hard, what is behind her sentence wasnât sadness nor giving up, but disappointment in Konoha.
âYour existence is the meaning of my existence.â
Naito turned and hugged her tight.
The atmosphere has become very warm, whether itâs Naito or Kus.h.i.+na, it always felt the warmth for them when theyâre together.
They stayed that way for a long time, suddenly Naito whispered, saying: âKus.h.i.+na, letâs go⊠Letâs leave Konoha.â
