Because harboring the Kyūbi for that long had to have changed Kushina (I guess you could call this AU). Again, spoilers for Kyūbi attack. I'm particularly proud of this chapter, so please review it if you can.

-home, kushina-

Staring out over the burning wasteland that hours before had been a thriving hidden village (but not her home, Uzu was home), she contemplated the sight before her with a sense of rage. She knew she had seconds to live, but her attention focused on Minato and the baby he was laying on the sealing altar. Kushina could hold the Kyūbi inside, ignore the voice that rumbled from the depths of her mind, but what she could not do was watch a monster be sealed inside her child in the name of a place she never called home.
