Chapter 321: Tell Me
Rin soon remembered that Kushina was the wife of her former sensei, Minato Namikaze.
According to Rin's understanding, Kushina was formerly a kunoichi from the Uzumaki clan. As a child, she had been forced to leave her home and relocate to the Hidden Leaf Village due to war, where she attended the ninja academy.
She quickly gained notoriety, declaring her ambition to be the first female Hokage. Her fiery personality earned her the nickname "Red Hot-Blooded Habanero," a way for her to protect herself from the taunts of her classmates.
"But how do I know that?" Rin paused to reflect on her memories.
She had no idea that Arthur was the source of this information.
Eventually, Kushina discovered that her unique chakra made her a candidate to become the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails. Although this revelation terrified her, she found guidance in Mito Uzumaki, the previous Jinchūriki, who taught her the importance of control.
As Kushina grew older, her role was shaped by relationships and significant events. She met Minato Namikaze, who supported her during her kidnapping by Cloud ninjas and eventually won her heart. Their bond deepened, leading to their marriage and the birth of their son, Naruto.
Despite being a Jinchūriki, Kushina confronted the challenges of her situation bravely. She was secretly protected during her pregnancy, but tragedy eventually struck when Obito Uchiha attacked and released the Nine-Tails from her body. In her final moments, motivated by her love for Naruto, Kushina made the ultimate sacrifice, willingly imparting her chakra.
Rin paused, paying her respects. "I feel privileged to be here with you," she murmured.
Yet, she understood that this moment of reverence was overshadowed by her mission. For reasons she couldn't fully grasp, Arthur required Kushina's DNA.
Rin concentrated her chakra and scraped as much as she could from the tomb. Once she gathered everything, she carefully secured it in a scroll.
