Celestial Path Chapter 31 Alt POV (Patreon)

Kushina was a very... Very busy woman. In her own opinion, she was entirely too damned busy as even with some shadow clones helping with paper work that she still needed to watch over.

But she still made time for her only true family in Konoha, despite how Tsunade was still being a drunken disappointment who had run out of money in the Senju accounts.

Naruko had grown into a wonderful young woman and she coudn't be prouder of her. But her face froze as the Seduction Specialist assigned to that fucking walking typhoon of chaos in Akari brought a letter bearing an Uzumaki's seal's chakra.

And by Uzumaki Seal Chakra... She meant the very unique chakra used to form the Uzumaki bloodline technique in their Uzumaki Sealing Chains and that also enhanced the seals they personally made with their own chakra.

Reading the letter for the fourth time to make sure she wasn't dreaming after disturbing her chakra several times to the point the half of the fox within herself grumbled in annoyance.

She looked up at Eleanor and said slowly. "You are saying... That Kusagakure has kept a member of my clansmen. Forced themself upon her, and has spent much of her lifeforce in my clan's healing chakra bite method. And Akari saved them?"

Eleanor kneeling in front of the Hokage to give this important message nodded and said quietly. "Yes Lady Hokage. Miss Changli never married, and yet she has a daughter that is a teenager herself despite Changli not even being thirty. Combined with how she has been so abused within Kusa, it's assured that Karin's conception wasn't... Consensual." 

The room went quiet as Kushina's blood red painted nails slowly... Methodically tapped the Hokage table, but no one in the room. Not Eleanor, or the hidden anbu dared to make a noise.

As a vile, roiling, hate filled Chakra that clearly belonged to the Nine Tailed Fox within Kushina roiled as her eye's flickered between blue and red with each blink as she repressed her emotions as to not go on a rampage.

At least in her own office. She wasn't an animal like the Raikage who would throw her tables through the windows. Or just run through the walls to get away from paperwork.

Kushina exhaled slightly before she said calmly. "Changli and Karin huh... Having more clansmen returned home is for the best. I will take them into the Senju clan estate where they can be safe and-"

Eleanor softly coughed Kushina's face twitched as Eleanor helplessly interjected. "Lady Hokage... Miss Changli has already stated she is to be Akari's priestess and servant in accordance to his status as Amaterasu's champion. Who sent Akari to save her, and her daughter. She said explicity, that she didn't want to get to involved with the village."

A tick mark popped up on Kushina's forehead as she snorted and said in annoyance. "What is she afraid I am going to do the same as Kusa to her? I remember Changli as she was just a couple years younger then me when we both lived in Uzushiogakure!?"

Eleanor remained silent. Her existence currently was keeping Akari bound to the interests of Konoha and his own well being. Providing advice or an opinion to the Hokage was far beyond a tool like herself.

Kushina snorted again with her brushing a hand across her face before she slammed her hand against the table as she yelled. "Whatever! I will deal with her later, but what matters now is smashing Kusagakure into the dirt for harming my clan! Get the clan heads for a war council, we are moving up the invasion!" 

The anbu in charge of delivering messages turned into a blur of motion as they shot out of an open window and Konoha's direction was going to change. As it was one thing for Kumo to hurt a clan member and face skirmishes and economic attacks.

But a lesser village like Kusagakure dared to play with what was basically a founding clan of Konoha? And that lesser village was already on the chopping block as the Land of Fire planned on conquering the southern lands while the Land of Wind conquered the northern half?

Kushina's eyes were blood red as her finger nails extended slightly due to the excess Kyubei chakra running through her as she said quietly to herself even as the other anbu and Eleanor shivered. "I may be the Hokage... But I am not an old monkey who will protect the home front. It's time the strongest village shows it's fangs, I am going to personally kill that damned Kusakage myself!"

Then the Hokage who had lost control of her disguise jutsu put her hands together to reactivate it. As she had to move to the meeting room to discuss how she was going to utterly flatten that damned village!

But as she moved to head to the meeting room where large meetings between clan heads and the other village officials came together. Eleanor cleared her throat and said.

"Ah... Lady Hokage, uhm with how excited you were about your clansmen returning. I didn't get to tell you. But Akari said he was going to attack the Kusakage's main office to steal any relics and heritage he could collect in this letter."

Kushina's face pinched and she woodenly looked at Eleanor before Kushina said dully. "It will be ok... Akari was trained by that pervert Jiraiya. So long as a woman is in the army who will be attacking, he can outrun them all. As running away from debts from women is that bastard's greatest trait, obviously."

After a moment, Kushina gave Eleanor a look and said flatly. "And where are you in your task of securing his lineage? With how Akari has gotten dragged into divine affairs, he won't be in Konoha as long, and will be facing great danger as well!?"

Eleanor flushed before she said helplessly. "Lady Hokage... His hug's are-" She shook her head with Kushina all but facepalming.
