Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 133 : Orochimaru

Mikoto thought.

She had read about the phenomenon while going through an Uchiha clan document a few days ago.

This is a sign!

Mikoto could barely recognize people or objects within a few meters. Her vision was failing rapidly. She could only walk slowly, feeling the effects take hold of her.

This was the price of the Mangekyō Sharingan!

Mikoto had seen this documented in the ancient texts of the Uchiha clan. Moreover, Kurama-sama had warned her about it when she first awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The power of these eyes came with a terrible side effect.

Eventually, they would lose their light.

After awakening her Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Mikoto had used its power frequently. It had been her greatest weapon in the internal conflicts of the Uchiha clan and during the brutal battles of the Third Great Ninja War.

She had even summoned Susanoo, pushing her eyes to their limits.

Now, the consequences were catching up to her. She had expected this. She had known it would come. And yet, accepting it was another matter entirely.

Kurama had warned her back then, but at the time, Kurama had not given her a solution.

"It seems there's no other way. I have to go find Kushina and meet with Lord Kurama."

Mikoto sighed as she made her decision. Slowly, carefully, she made her way outside.

---

Outside Konoha, deep within Root's secret underground base.

"Danzo, what the hell were you and those old fossils in the Third Generation thinking?"

Orochimaru's voice dripped with amusement as he leaned in, eyes sharp with interest.

"You actually let a little girl take the Hokage seat?"

Danzo smirked, his expression shadowed and unreadable.

"Haha, Orochimaru, don't be so hasty!"

There was something unsettling about his tone.

"That blood-red habanero, Uzumaki Kushina, achieved numerous military victories on the battlefield during the Third Ninja War. Her strength is on par with you and me."

Danzo's voice carried an eerie confidence.

"Besides, the village supports her. 99% of the shinobi stand behind her."

Orochimaru chuckled darkly.

"Is that so? Can a little girl really be that strong?"

Danzo remained composed, his eyes gleaming with a hidden truth.

Orochimaru, ever perceptive, narrowed his eyes.

He had been around Danzo long enough to sense when something was... off. And right now, Danzo was off.

Something was different. But at the same time, the man before him was Danzo, through and through. There was no deception.

And that, more than anything, made it unsettling.

Danzo slowly rose, gripping his cane with a firm hand.

"Don't worry, Orochimaru. With the blood-red habanero as Hokage, collaboration, research, and our... experiments will proceed unimpeded."

Danzo's lips curled into a knowing smile.

"Hiruzen might have stopped us, but the Fourth Hokage won't."

Orochimaru's golden eyes flickered with intrigue.

"You hold quite a bit of respect for this little girl."

Danzo chuckled, lowering his voice.

"Return to the village. There's an S-class secret I need to share with you."

Orochimaru's smirk deepened.

"An S-class secret? Now you've piqued my interest."

Danzo's expression darkened, his next words delivered with eerie calm.

"The current Fourth Hokage, Uzumaki Kushina... is the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails."

Orochimaru's eyes widened slightly. His breath hitched.

A bead of sweat rolled down his cheek.

"...What?"

The revelation was nothing short of shocking.

A Jinchūriki as Hokage?

And not just any Jinchūriki. The Nine-Tails.

The most powerful of the Tailed Beasts, sealed inside a fiery-tempered woman, now leading Konoha?

For a moment, Orochimaru was speechless. Then, slowly, a grin crept onto his lips.

"So, does this mean she's a perfect Jinchūriki?"

Danzo merely chuckled.

"Who knows?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, his mind spinning with the possibilities.

"Konoha is becoming more and more interesting..."

His golden eyes gleamed with hunger.

"By the way, Orochimaru. There is one person in particular you should keep an eye on."

Danzo's voice turned quiet, conspiratorial.

"Who?"

"Kurama."

Orochimaru's smirk faltered for the briefest moment.

"Kurama? Never heard of him. Who is he?"

Danzo's lips curled into a smirk.

"Oh, you will. Soon enough, his name will be unforgettable."

Danzo stepped into the shadows, his presence fading into the darkness.

Orochimaru remained, staring after him with a deep, calculating gaze.

Then, a soft chuckle escaped his lips.

"Danzo, you old bastard... since when did you become some kind of prophet?"

The name 'Kurama' echoed in his mind, filling him with a strange sense of anticipation.

Elsewhere, Uchiha Mikoto struggled through the streets of Konoha, making her way to Kushina's home.

It was nearly evening. The workday had ended, and Kushina had already returned home.

She wasn't running Konoha alone. She had appointed a Hokage advisor—Tsunade.

The arrangement was perfect. Kushina already had plans to retire when the time was right, ensuring Tsunade would take over as the Fifth Hokage.

With her lineage as the granddaughter of the First Hokage and her reputation as one of the legendary Sannin, no one would oppose her leadership.

The moment Kushina saw Mikoto, she grinned and immediately pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Mikoto!"

The usual stoic Hokage persona was nowhere to be found. Around her best friend, Kushina was still the same rowdy redhead.

But then, she noticed something was wrong.

"Mikoto, what's wrong?"

Mikoto's voice trembled as she spoke.

"Kushina... wuwuwu... I-I'm going blind."

Kushina's expression darkened instantly. She waved a hand in front of Mikoto's eyes, testing her vision.

Sure enough, there was something terribly wrong.

Then, she remembered.

Kurama had warned them about this when Mikoto first awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The power of those eyes came at a price.

Kushina clenched her fists.

"Damn it... this is too fast. We need to see Master Kurama about this."

Neither Kushina nor Mikoto had a solution. But there was one who did.

Kurama was all-powerful. He would have a way.

As they waited for him to return home, Kurama was already thinking.

The solution was clear.

To restore the light of the Mangekyō Sharingan, there were only two options:

A close relative's transplant.

Or...

Hashirama cells.

In this world, Hashirama's cells were nearly omnipotent.

Uchiha Madara had transplanted his brother's eyes, evolving them into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Sasuke had done the same with Itachi's eyes.

Obito had Hashirama's cells—which let him spam Kamui without a single drawback. Meanwhile, Kakashi, without Hashirama's cells, suffered from extreme chakra depletion.

Kurama exhaled. "Well, damn. We need to act fast."

Kushina frowned. "So? What do we do?"

Kurama smirked. "Simple. We find her a pair of new eyes... or something even better."

And with that, the real hunt began.

One way or another, Mikoto would see again.

And Kurama would ensure it.
