Kushina had been passing by with her husband shortly after the auctions when she remembered something she had to do. She stopped and placed a hand on his arm, mentioned that she had seen an Ame ninja at the auction. She told him about his cryptic words about Sephiroth during Adela's auction and that she had some questions for him.

He nodded and said he'd see her at home later. But first he'd track down the rest of their little family and teams. A short kiss was shared before they parted and Kushina began her search. The restaurant was her third stop and where she finally found her target. She crossed the crowded dining room and stopped next to his table.

"If you don't mind my interrupting your dinner, I have some questions for you."
