chapter 5

Warning: long chapter since I couldn't find a way to trim it down without the chapter losing something

Meanwhile, with kushina much later

Night time

*It was the end of the twins birthday party, unlike with Naruto, narumi and Mito had a huge party, with lots of people, and a cake that looked like it was made for a wedding, with how big it was. the girls were playing with their new toys, Tsunade was passed out on the table, Karin was busy stuffing her face with leftover cake, and jiraiya was helping kushina with the clean up. Jiraiya looked at kushina, who stopped cleaning up, and was looking at a picture of minato. The day would forever be bittersweet to her, and while she would remember the loss of her dearly departed husband and the death of her son by Kyuubi's possession. Jiraiya sighed and walked up to her*

Jiraiya: we all miss him. But living in hatred isn't gonna bring him back

Kushina: we agreed on not discussing this, with Tsunade present

*Kushina said coldly, giving jiraiya a soft glare, jiraiya was unaffected as he shrugged, as he looked at Tsunade, a quick flashback in his brain made him, remember to NEVER touch her when she's passed out drunk*

Jiraiya: You know. He wouldn't want you to keep all those feelings bottled up

Kushina: he wouldn't have wanted a lot of things. Doesn't matter anymore. He's not around to see it

*Kushina said with a sigh as she went back to cleaning. She felt a hand on her shoulder, and saw jiraiya smiling at her, she he pointed to her children*

Jiraiya: Now that's a lie. He's alive right there. Can't you see his smile in narumi? Can't you see his curiosity in mito's eyes? He is alive and well in his children

Kushina: I know you're right. That doesn't mean I'll just stop missing him. But at least they're happy here

*Kushina said with a sigh, which turned into a smile. She and the girls were very content and comfortable with the luxurious, safe, and peaceful life that they were able to enjoy in the Fire Capital. Jiraiya nodded in agreement*

Jiraiya: Please, she's completely passed out. And I'm not saying anything. Just that your life would be so much better if you learned to let go

Kushina: Let go? That fucking masked man killed my husband, and the kyubi destroyed my baby's soul. He's completely gone, I'll learn to let go, as soon as hiruzen comes to his senses and agrees to the letter I've send him

*Kushina said with venom in her tone. All these years away from konoha, did make kushina see things differently, for a lot of things, all except one. Her hatred for the "demon" that took the body of her child just became worse and worse, with every passing year. It wouldn't be long, before the want to act on those actions to overpower her, and do something unforgivable in her grief. Jiraiya eyes widen, as he caught on something she said*

Jiraiya: wait. Hold on. Back up. What letter?

Kushina: the annual update for the twins. I added a personal letter. Asking him if he finally killed the demon, and asked if I could do it myself. So that I can avenge my little Naruto a week ago

*Kushina said, as she took a few breaths to calm down. Jiraiya nodded slowly, doing a few calculations in his mind. Unlike kushina, jiraiya was seeing the writing on the wall*

Jiraiya: I'm taking the kids, to the toad mountain

*Jiraiya said quickly. As he grabbed the children, and flickered out of there. His timing was impeccable. Since as soon as he was gone, the door flew off its hinges, and got stuck in the wall, with enough force to wake Tsunade up and look around to see what the hell was going on. Her and kushina looked at the door and they saw, a dark figure with glowing red eyes. Kushina turned around ready to fight, whoever this creature was, she was surprised when she saw hiruzen was the creature. Hiruzen didn't even wait. He snapped his fingers, just that simple act was enough to shake the house*
