Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 95 : Will Sarutobi Really be Finished?

"You will regret it sooner or later!"

Danzo said coldly, turning around to leave.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, stood in stunned silence for a moment.

"Danzo's methods are too extreme."

"Yeah, how can he stab his own village in the back like this?"

This was a critical moment in the war.

The Uchiha clan was still fighting for the village.

Konoha shouldn't do this—neither emotionally nor rationally.

The Third Hokage had always followed a path of compromise, moderation, and delay. As for how to weaken the Uchiha clan, he could only think of other ways.

Homura and Koharu agreed that the Uchiha needed to be weakened, but they strongly disagreed with Danzo's approach.

Even their mentor, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who had always viewed the Uchiha with suspicion, never resorted to such underhanded tactics. He had simply moved the Uchiha clan to the outskirts of the village and created the Konoha Police Force to keep them occupied.

Hiruzen, Homura, and Koharu exchanged heavy glances.

In the end, the matter was left unresolved.

All they could do was hope that the Third Shinobi War would end soon.

**Frontline Battlefield—Land of Smoke**

The Land of Smoke had become the main battlefield between Konoha of the Land of Fire and Kirigakure of the Land of Water.

The troops led by Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto, and Hyuga Hikari were advancing toward the battlefield at full speed.

Kurama was among them.

"Hikari, let me introduce you! This is my boyfriend, Kurama," Kushina said cheerfully.

Kurama simply raised a hand in greeting. "First time meeting you, Hyuga Hikari."

Hyuga Hikari blinked in surprise. She bowed politely in return.

"Hyuga Hikari."

Her gaze lingered on Kurama for a moment longer than necessary. His striking orange hair and deep crimson eyes caught her attention. There was something about him—something eerily familiar.

Yet, she was sure she had never met him before.

The feeling unsettled her.

An awkward silence settled between them.

Kurama smiled knowingly.

*Hinata will have this same kind of reaction in the future.*

Realizing that Kushina, Hikari, and Mikoto had a lot to talk about, Kurama quietly excused himself.

As soon as he was out of earshot, Hikari turned to Kushina with an accusatory glare.

"Kushina! You never told me you had a boyfriend! And now you're just parading him around?!"

Kushina flushed, recalling how Mikoto had reacted in the exact same way before.

Hikari then turned to Mikoto, arms crossed.

"Hey, Mikoto, did you already know about this?"

Mikoto raised her hands in surrender. "I only found out a little earlier than you."

"Oh, so you two conspired to hide it from me? Just wait until I deal with both of you!"

She playfully raised a fist, but then noticed the troops marching behind them. Huffing, she crossed her arms instead.

If it were just the three of them, she would've definitely wrestled them to the ground.

For now, she let it go.

But something was still nagging at her.

"Kushina," she started hesitantly, "your boyfriend... Kurama... He gives me a strange feeling. Like... déjà vu. Mikoto, do you feel the same?"

Mikoto forced a nervous laugh. "No, no! I don't know him that well!"

Internally, she was screaming.

*Hikari, Hikari, you're digging your own grave! Lord Kurama already knows all our secrets!*

Hikari pursed her lips. "But I feel like I've seen him somewhere before..."

Trying to shake off the thought, she turned back to Kushina.

"Wait... does Kurama know about our plans?"

She was referring to what they intended to do after the war.

Kushina nodded. "Yes. Lord Kurama knows everything. And he's strong. Really strong."

At that, Hikari finally relaxed.

At the same time, she couldn't help but think—

*It would be amazing if I could find a man as strong and handsome as Lord Kurama...*

**Konoha Camp – Land of Smoke**

Sarutobi Yaomaru and his men were drinking celebratory sake.

They had successfully repelled multiple Mist Shinobi attacks.

Among them were Namikaze Minato and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio—Yamanaka Inoichi, Nara Shikaku, and Akimichi Choza—as well as Aburame Shihui.

"Lord Yaomaru, the reinforcements from the Land of Wind have arrived! Led by Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto, and Hyuga Kagumo."

Yaomaru grinned. "That was fast! Excellent!"

The arrival of reinforcements gave him newfound confidence.

He had witnessed Kushina's power firsthand as her unit's deputy commander.

Now that they had arrived, a decisive battle with Kirigakure was imminent.

During his time as Kushina's deputy, he had been assigned to monitor her movements and report back to the Third Hokage.

Back then, he had been confused by the order.

*Why would I need to monitor Kushina?*

She was a Konoha kunoichi. Her loyalty had never been questioned.

At the time, he followed orders without understanding.

Now, he knew the truth.

Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.

Aside from Mikoto, only Konoha's top brass knew this secret.

With the arrival of reinforcements, the Uchiha clan's leader, Fugaku Uchiha, was delighted.

Because it meant he could see Minato Namikaze again.

Only Minato could warm his cold heart.

Fugaku worried about Minato.

Was he injured? Was he safe? Would that handsome, gentle face be marred with scars?

Then he shook his head, chiding himself.

*Minato is a genius. He wouldn't get injured so easily.*

After all, he had managed to escape from Kumo's forces before.

In Fugaku's eyes, no one in Konoha could compare to Minato.

**Konoha Army's Main Camp**

Kurama recognized many faces from Kushina's academy days.

Team 4's Ino-Shika-Cho.

Hyuga Hizashi, Inuzuka Tsume, and Goshu from Team 8. Their sensei was now Sarutobi Yaomaru.

Fugaku, Minato, and Aburame Shihui from Team 2.

Most of them had risen to the rank of Jōnin. The few who hadn't, like Geshu and Choza, were high-ranking Chūnin.

Kushina leaned in toward Kurama.

"Kurama, do we even need to fight? Sarutobi Yaomaru's forces have already won multiple battles."

Kurama shook his head.

"We *will* fight. The Third Hokage made a grave mistake by appointing Yaomaru as commander."

He had already sensed something off.

Mist Shinobi were gathering in an unusual formation.

They were preparing something massive.

A danger no one else had detected yet.

Fugaku spotted Minato's golden figure and immediately ran over.

"Minato, are you alright?"

Minato smiled warmly. "Fugaku, I'm fine. What about you? Are you unharmed?"

Fugaku froze.

Minato was worried about *him*?

He murmured under his breath.

"A boy's smile... can really be this beautiful..."
