Chapter 7: 7 - Mito
"Come on, come on. Let's go!" Kushina dragged Ichika once they were done with class. She needs Mito's permission first for Kushina to go out after school.
"Okay okay, relax, we're not going to be late or anything" Ichika fought back as he wanted to walk slowly but Kushina had so much strength that he wasn't able to fight back.
"Kushina wait up" Minato was running toward them as he tried to catch up with her.
"Stop being a slow poked" Kushina didn't really have the best impression of him that why she treated Ichika and Minato differently. But this doesn't mean that she hates him.
This can be traced to the original; manga version where Sakura was displayed with a better side with Naruto compared to the anime version, Sakura wanted to play a prank on Naruto but she didn't display it and she ended up using her negative emotion on Naruto.
Kushina was running so fast that it only took them 10 minutes to make it to the Senju compound where Mito lived.
"Sorry for disturbing" Ichika and Minato said as they walked inside with Kushina.
"On Kushina, you brought your friend here" Mito well she was waiting for Kushina and Nawaki.
"Hi, Grandma Mito. Ermm…I was wondering if I could go out today?" Kushina was a bit nervous.
"Oh dear, of course you. Just to make sure you're home early, don't be late"
"Thank you, Grandma!"
When Kushina went to grab her money which was about 5000 ryō, she could get more but she felt like it was too much. While Kushina was getting her money, Ichika was with Mito, and Minato was waiting outside as he was bored.
"You seem a bit different Ichika" Mito's senses were highest, there was a reason she was the jinchūriki.
"It seems even I can't escape from your senses" Ichika exclaimed but he wasn't stupid that he would show it. People who give away their secret is like telling the police that you're a spy from another village.
Living through two lives Ichila was no stranger to betrayal, most of the incidents of how a person dies are because of their secret reveal.
"But that's okay, as long as you won't be hurting Kushina, it'll be fine" Kushina was the currently known Uzumaki excluding Karin and her mother as they hid themselves; and the other that managed to survive.
"No big deal, I wouldn't be hurting her anytime soon" Ichika has no reason to hurt Kushina as she's his friend and also because she's naive.
"I'm done" It didn't take long before Kushina finished gathering money, well she actually did change her clothes; no one can blame her as her status was the princess of Uzumaki clan.
Kushina wore a white dress, yes a dress. She wanted to wear a red dress to match her hair but a red dress meant a wedding so she didn't wear it but instead wore a white dress.
If Ichika was to give her a look from 1-10 then she would be in 8. The rating from Ichika was in the eye of the child, not a pedophile, unlike some certain main characters from somewhere.
"Alright I'll see you again another time," Ichika said his goodbye.
"Bye Grandma Mito" Kushina as walk out with Ichika.
