Kushina isn't in much better shape. After her apology she finally took a good look at who she bumped into. It's not like she was complaining but it was strange no matter where she went now, Naruto was there to meet her. Shouldn't it be the other way around? The mother should be there for the child, not the child for the mother.

The initial shock wears off and Kushina lunges forward to wrap her arms around her son. "Naruto!" No stuttering or blubbering on her part, it's loud and rings in her ears and she can't believe her luck. Three times now she's been given the chance to talk to her grown up son.

This wasn't Minato's doing, was it? Actually she should probably be wondering if this is an illusion because she wasn't lucky enough to be with her son this much, right? Kushina's enthusiasm precedes her rational thought and she's too happy at seeing a face that is hers and Minato's.
