Her smile turned a bit nostalgic, even a little sad. When she spoke again, her voice was a little softer to prevent it from carrying across the room. Another reason for a more private dining location had been so she could speak candidly and not risk any rumors spread that she had regrets or wanted to leave.
"It is sometimes. That's why I try and make it back to Konoha almost every month and Minato comes out here sometimes. If I didn't, I'd probably be miserable, not getting to see everyone. I know the work I'm doing is important, but that doesn't mean I don't miss my family and friends. I may have been born in Uzushio, but Konoha's my h-- Ah, thank you."
The waiter returned with their tea and to take their orders. Kushina put in an order for some Gyudon and waited for Adela to put in hers and the waiter to leave before continuing. Sort of.
"I wasn't here where the village was destroyed. I could hardly believe it when Sandaime told me and I shook him for every detail he could give. He didn't know who had survived, who had escaped though. Everyone and almost everything was gone by the time Konoha could send a team. Even if I didn't live there anymore, a part of my heart was still connected."
She stopped, realizing she had been rambling and took a sip of her tea.
"Sorry, you didn't ask to hear about my memories. I got a little carried away in them. Heheh... But I guess it's because of those memories and that I found more Uzumaki in the world than I originally thought that I decided to try and revive our village. I'd do anything to keep them from being scattered everywhere again. While this may not be my home, I've seen all the hard work everyone's put in to making this village their own--not just my own. I would gladly lay down my life for this village as much as I would for Konoha."
Haha don't worry about it, Kushina's just being super ramble-y. <3
