Out of one hell and into another. At least this one was a bit more reminiscent of something she was accustomed to. That wasn't always a good thing, she thinks, as she roams the streets and does some reconnaissance. Looks can be deceiving though and that was a lesson Kushina all but embodied. There were plenty of boys -beaten half to death- that could attest to that certain saying.

The woman with bright, long red hair doesn't look in the least bit frightened as she studies everything around her. Confused, sure, but who wouldn't be? She's been thrown one world to another more than she'd like. Hell, she thought one world was enough! How was it that so many existed? That confused her more than this new place, village, she was in.

She was used to being in unfamiliar places. After moving to Konoha, she had a feeling it was probably something of the norm for her. After finally settling into the Leaf Village, she had been taken from it just as quickly. Then finally meeting her son and being swept away; Exsilium to be with her son and even spend a bit more time getting to know Kakashi before she was gone again.

Now this place.

So lost in thought is she, drawing in her surroundings and thinking (not to mention she's clumsy to begin with) it's no surprise that's she's headed straight for a body and running into their back. Kushina stumbles back, blinking in surprise and finally rubbing the back of her head, embarrassed blush in place.

"Excuse me, sorry about that. I didn't see you there."

((AS A NOTE: I'm going to be giving Kushina some past game canon but I didn't know what to list the tag with so skjgs but she's mostly canon! Feel free to be the person she runs into or just a spectator wanting to interrupt! Sky's the limit. :>}}

Come on grab your friends!

"Yeah, that other place." Didn't he remember? It wasn't that long ago that the three of them were living together and fighting some ridiculously strong enemy. Kushina had tried to talk him out of coming with her to stop them but he was just like her.

He didn't back down.

"Don't you remember? Kakashi was there too and we had to fight in this war for these people."

[obstinates]

Sorta. It seems like a dream. Maybe it wasn't as vivid for him as it was for Kushina since Naruto had gone back home for a bitto participate in the war there. Whatever the reason, his memories of Exsilium are somewhat muddied.

"Kinda..." he answers, rubbing the back of his head and squinting. It makes his head hurt to think of it too much.

[fervidity]

It's not exactly something that can be easily forgotten and Kushina becomes more worrisome over this place. She remember everything, why didn't Naruto? Not that it really changed anything because he was still Naruto and he was still here with her.

"We were sent to a city together with Kakashi for some reason. They gave us these weapons and our job was to fight in this war against these incredibly strong enemies. Not only that, but we were supposed to live onthis run-down island in the middle of nowhere. But you and I and some other people went to the mainland to gather as much information as we could before getting caught and having to run away," she explains, brow furrowing. "I wouldn't have but we didn't have a choice. Those guys were unbeatable for some reason and the reason we went there was to find a weakness. After that, somehow we ended up here."

When she looks at him again, she slowly smiles. "But we lived together with Kakashi and it wasn't bad beside the war. I wanted to spend more time with you and I got that chance"

It sounds vaguely familiar the more she speaks of it, but it still isn't as clear for him as it is her. He scrunches up his face and scratches his cheek, trying his best to think harder about it. It'll most likely come to him eventually -- for now, he does smile at the last part.

"Then I guess we get even more time together now, eh?" he replies, glancing over at her. "And we'll just have to figure out where Kakashi-sensei and the others are." Not to mention where they were. That's probably the biggest question right now anyways.

[fervidity]

Probably. "Yeah," she agrees with a nod.

Though as they continue walking Kushina's stomach decides to make its impression of the Kyuubi so she pauses, blushing, and scratches the back of her head in embarrassment. "Guess I'm hungry." Not like she could disagree with her stomach. When was the last time she ate? She had been so preoccupied with the war and making sure Naruto was safe.

[obstinates]

Naruto snickers. It's kinda funny to hear Kushina's stomach make that noise. Everybody used to scold Naruto when his own stomach made the same noise. He couldn't help it when it did, and now Kushina's is doing the same thing. He must get that from his mother as well or something.

In fact, when she mentions that she's hungry, Naruto's stomach mimic Kushina's. He smiles sheepishly and rubs the back of his head. "Guess I am too, y'know."
