Neither, he was stalling,

Naruto’s mind was suddenly filled with just two words, and they were going to save his ass, literally.

“Korog Oversoul.” With that phrase Naruto was flooded with power, techniques, and unfortunately for Kushina, a LOT of memories, including of neglect, ****, war, ****, and betrayal.

Kurama was surprised that suddenly he had a ton of roommates, and realized that this was a good time to encourage Naruto to stand up, plus it’d be vicarious **** for being crucified to a fucking MOON FOR ROUGHLY TWENTY YEARS!

‘Naruto, I swear I will make you explode and Hiroshima this village if you even think about doing what that bitch said! Besides, how often has she been there for you? Not often enough, and now that the Uzumaki are down to just THREE! Two females and ONE MALE, she wants to pull THIS?! I’m not going to allow one of my old man’s clans get fucked and put into a position where they will die out.”

Naruto didn’t need that much convincing as he bound Kushina in his own chakra chains.

“Did you actually believe that I would? Sorry, but I may be open to experimenting, I truly DO identify myself as a guy. And if I have to move out, fine. But I think that you’re no longer welcome in the Uzumaki Clan, Ms. Namikaze.”

Kushina was stunned, and appalled, but she wasn’t able to utter a sound as her mind was flooded by the memories from the numerous Narutos that ‘she’ had wronged. Then she was **** to endure the combined memories and sensations of Naruto’s and Kurama’s sufferings, albeit watered down. She blacked out after twenty six seconds, which was twice what Naruto and Kurama had initially guessed she could handle.

But it was long enough that she would end her life if needed for a chance to gain Naruto’s forgiveness.

When Kushina woke up, Naruto’s room was cleaned out, with a rather biting letter from the collective minds of her son and his multiversal counterparts. She broke down crying, and when she ran over to Naruto’s apartment, she could tell he was there, and that made her being shocked by his security seals sting even more.
