'It's been thirteen years since that fateful day when my world came crashing down. I wonder if Konoha's still there? Probably, that fucking village always was resilient when it counted...' Thought the woman, who's hair was a ruby red colour and eyes shone with an eery blue glow. As she thought, she didn't notice the people who slowly started to circle around her, covering the trees and the sun with their bodies.
She suddenly stopped when she saw that the sun no longer shone. She looked around, seeing the enemies that surrounded her, and gasped. She took a battle stance, not yet noticing that they were also underground. And that they numbered in the thirties.
"Seems you skill has lowered since we last saw each other, Kushina. If it took you this long to notice us, then this should be easy." Said the leader, glaring at her.
"What do you want with me..." She said, slowly, unnoticeable reaching into her kunai pouch slowly.
"We want you dead for abandoning Konoha in her most needed time, you bitch!" He screamed at her, doing handseals at the same time."
She sighed, taking out a kunai, then glared at all of them, saying "Then die."

She laid in the bed, staring at the white ceiling above her, noting the presence of Tsunade, yet not caring. She tried to sit up, but coughed, and as the blood flew into her hands, she crashed back down.
Immediately, Tsunade appeared at her side, worry etched into her face. Kushina sighed, a tired, sad sound.
"Tsunade, am I going to die?" She asked, looking at the medic sadly.
"Your lungs were ruptured, your spine was almost completely destroyed, your heart was damaged severely, it's a miracle you're still alive right now." She said, looking down.
"I see," She paused, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and said "Get me Naruto, I need to speak with him."
Tsunade nodded, leaving the hospital room in silence.
She returned with Naruto, who looked worried and terrified.
"Mom! Are you going to be OK? What's going on? What happened?" He asked quickly, almost screaming the words out, something he rarely did.
She smiled at his enthusiasm, then said "Son, I'm dieing."
"When are yo- What?" He did scream this time, before rushing to his mother in the bed and rapping her in a hug, almost crushing her.
She pushed him off, staring into his eyes, and spoke "Promise me one thing before I leave, Naruto."
"What?"
"Promise me that you won't die young, on some stupid battle field. Promise me that you'll die old and toothless, in your bed with my grand kids and their children around you, worrying about your safety."
"I promise..." He said, his voiced filled with pain and despair.
"Thank... Y-you..." She trailed off, closing her eyes for the last time as her breathing stopped once and for all.
"!" He screamed in sadness, loneliness, despair, grieve, pain, and anger. As the tears streamed down his face, he turned to Tsunade, his eyes glowing dark, eery green, and he said "Who did this."
She spoke one word, and it forever sealed the fate of all those that dared stand in his way, all that would even think of opposing him on his quest for revenge and destruction.
"Konoha."
