There we sat on a few stones. The two talked about whether Itachi could win against the Sannin or not. I barely listened. Sitting next to the Uchiha, my head rested on the palm of my hand. "I didn't expect the kid's guard would be a legendary Sannin. With him as the opponent our names would be tarnished." Kisame said. "Yeah. However, any strong has a weakness." Itachi spoke as he stood up. "Pretty wise. We're lucky that I know him. More or less... He's perverted." I informed them, using the knowledge I gained from my mother. "We could use a woman to separate them." Kisame suggested as Itachi nodded in agreement. "Use me. I won't be able to seduce him when I'm conscious though." I gave myself some thinking time. "I know! Put me under a genjutsu." I stood up, while talking. "No. We won't do that." Itachi quickly sais, regretting his words right afterwards. I took a step closer to the Uchiha. "You're not my mother. Neither are you Pain-sama. I won't take orders from you. " I replied, getting ready to argue. "We need you when we capture the nine tails, so it's a stupid idea."

I frowned. It was obvious that I wasn't agreeing with him. "I'm sure you two will be perfectly fine on your own." I said as we glared at each other. There was quite the tension between us. "I must agree with Itachi-san." Kisame admitted. I looked behind Itachi where Kisame stood. "What kind of traitor are you?!" I continued to annoy them, until they agreed. For once even Kisame was done with my rants.

Flashback (14 years ago)

I ran into the little kitchen with a big smile. "Mommy! I did it!" I exclaimed as I pulled on her clothing to get her attention. She looked down at me with a suprised expression, "Are you talking about your chakra control?" She asked, putting the plate back into the sink. I nodded. The proudness of my mother, matched with mine. "Look!" The walls were my new ground as I walked on them. Chakra was in my feet, keeping me from falling.

"Now tell me stories! Please!" I begged, arriving back on the floor. She kneeled down to my hight with a soft smile. "Of course, sweetie. I even have pictures this time." My excitment grew as I jumped, while walking towards the couch. She grabbed a book. Afterwards sitting down and pulling me on her lap. My mother opened the book. "This is Senju Mito. She was the first jinchuriki of the nine tails. Not to mention that she was a really strong member from our clan." She explained as I looked at the picture carefully. There were also other pictures of my mother, which included my aunt. But my whole attention was on Mito. "Isn't she pretty?" My mother questioned, after noticing how much I admired the picture. "Hmm... Yeah. But not as pretty as you, mommy." I said as I observed the other pictures,

"What is the nine tails? Who's the jinchukiki now?" I wondered. "It's jinchuriki. It's a monster or more like a fox with nine tails and-" I cut her off before she could continue. "A monster? Why is a fox called monster?" My confusion surprised my mother. "Well, he killed many people. In the end we don't his motive though. Therefore, we shouldn't judge, yet." She somewhat lectured me as I nodded. "So what do you think was his motive?" I asked a little sad that this nine tails was also called a monster. "Who knows? Maybe you can ask him yourself, one day." She told me with a closed eye smile. 

"Now to your second question. Kushina is the Jinchuuriki right now." She answered a question, which I already forgot about. "Woah! Really?! That's so cool. Do you think, I can have the nine tails inside of me too?" I asked as I looked up at her with much hope. My mother looked at me confused. "Why would you want the nine tailed beast sealed inside of you?" While she thought my question was cute, she hoped that this would never be the case. "I would have a friend, we could always talk about our problems, I would never be alone. Oh, and I bet the fox is super cute!" I listed all the good reasons. She chuckled, ruffling my hair. "Maybe one day." She said as she put me on the ground.
