Author note: For every single person who has commented that they wanted action in this story. This chapter is for you

*It's been a few days since the last chapter. Kushina is getting closer to understanding the curse mark, becoming confident enough to do the procedure, People like Bando were in an interview for a part-time job, now that he is confident he's staying in Konoha for the long term. You've got Kakashi and Rin talking about moving in together, Overall it was a peaceful day in the strongest shinobi nation. We start our story today with Karin Uzumaki. We see her in the public library that Naruto told her about. Karin was looking up information on her clan, with a frown on her face over what happened after she met that boy.*

Karin: Aunty?

Kushina: Yes honey?

*Kushina said with a happy tone as she drank a cup of wine while she watched her servants prepare dinner for the family. Kushina wasn't the best cook, Minato was always better than her in that department. But she did always enjoy watching people cook, it was oddly soothing. But Kushina gave her attention to her niece, who is so happy that she got cured from the flu fast enough to come to Konoha. Karin spoke up, remembering that boy who claimed to be an Uzumaki.*

Karin: I met somebody on the way here.

Kushina: Oh! That's so nice, you made a new friend! What was he like?

*Kushina said with a happy smile, she was always so happy whenever one of her babies made a new friend, and why wouldn't they make friends? They were the 3 best girls in the world. When they come back to Konoha permanently, Kushina can see them making friends extremely fast, maybe make friends with all the clan heirs, seeing as most of the current clan heads were her old friends. Karin thought of the boy, and there was only 1 word that described him.*

Karin: loud. Very loud, but nice. He said that his dad was an Uzumaki.

Kushina: he did? He must've been somebody who came after I left the village.

*Kushina hummed, having her interest piqued, she is always happy to know more people of her clan survived, she will find the boy's family and ask them to come to the capital with them. Their Uzumaki, they should all live together, they need to stick together. Karin nodded, happy to get to the part she wanted with this conversation. She was gonna get the information she needed, and nothing was better than knowledge, since as they say knowledge is power. In truth like Danzo realized, manipulation is power, but she's like 6 so let's let her think that for a while longer. Kushina looked at the girl with excitement, as she wanted to know more about this boy.*

Kushina: So! What's his name?

Karin: his name was Naruto...

*Karin started and then flinched getting a little scared, since after she said that name, Kushina broke her wine glass by turning her hand into a fist. Out of everybody Karin could've met, out of all the thousands of people that she could have interacted with, it just had to be Hiruzen's little pet. The monster that killed Minato is using her son's body as a skin suit. Karin quickly got out of her shock and ran to her aunt, since after doing that, her hand was now bleeding.*

Karin: Aunty! Are you ok?! You're hand! Your hand is bleeding!

Kushina: I'm... I'm fine honey. That name just took me off guard. What was he like? Appearance-wise.

*Kushina said in a low tone, her voice edged with disgust as she gave her hand to one of the maids and the woman instantly started to remove the glass shards and heal the hand. Kushina was in a horrible situation. She knew if she showed her anger or disgust at that pet, then the anbu that are watching her would see that as a threat and they would without a doubt get Hiruzen here. Kushina didn't need a reminder that the little demon was under the protection of the Hokage. Karin looked at her aunt nervously but she still kept describing the boy she met, confused as to why her aunt had such a reaction from just hearing his name.*
