40 minutes ago.

When Kushina and Mikoto were still in the restaurant.

There were three people in civilian clothes sitting far away from Kushina and Mikoto, who were watching them.

"That red-haired girl is our target," whispered one of the three men, who had yellow hair.

"Kato, how are we going to do that?" The older man whispered to the yellow-haired man.

"Renko, I've already thought of a plan," whispered the last man.

"Good job, Sato. What's your plan?" Kato whispered.

The three people had the task of kidnapping the red-haired girl and taking her out of Konoha.

"First we have to make her separate from the Uchiha girl, so we will put a simple illusion on the Uzumaki girl after they finish eating, to make her think that she took all the shopping bags, then after they are far enough away from the restaurant we will release the illusion, and when they notice that they forgot some shopping bags, one of them will return to the restaurant and thus their separation was completed." Sato whispered the best plan he had to separate Kushina and Mikoto.

"Why should we bother with that? We just have to wait for them to come to a crossroads between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan, then the Uzumaki girl will be alone." Renko whispered, he felt his friend's plan was too foolish, because they could wait for the two to part.

"I think Sato's plan is good, because if we wait until they get close to the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan to separate, it will be dangerous, because that area has a lot of ninjas and someone might notice us," Kato whispered. Kato was right that the area between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan is full of ninjas. Because most of the civilian ninja dwellings are there, if they try to kidnap Kushina in that area, they will reveal one hundred percent.

"So what are we going to do if they both come back and not one of them? Wouldn't what we did then be useless," Renko whispered.

"If they both come back, we'll have to choose an isolated area to attack both, and we'll have to defeat them quickly," Sato whispered. He thought about this possibility too, and they should defeat Mikoto and Kushina quickly so as not to attract the attention of the ninjas nearby.

"Why don't we do this another day when she's alone," Renko whispered.

"Why are you asking so much? Anyway we can't do that. She's seldom alone so we have to seize the opportunity today," whispered Kato, annoyed by the many questions from Renko.

"Look, they're done eating, I'm going to put an illusion on the Uzumaki girl," Sato whispered when watching Kushina and Mikoto finish their food.

"I succeeded in placing the illusion on her," Sato said as he walked out of the restaurant.

"I didn't expect you to do that," Rinko said after they left the restaurant, knowing that Sato is not a genjutsu specialist.

"Although I am not a genjutsu specialist, it was easy to put an unprepared person under the illusion," said Sato. He was right if Kushina was careful she wouldn't fall into delusion so easily, but because she is in the village now she thought she was in a safe place so she fell into the delusion easily without realizing it.

Shortly after the three left the restaurant, Kushina and Mikoto walked out of the restaurant and started walking towards the house.

After Kushina and Mikoto left the restaurant after ten minutes, Sato said "Okay, I'll break the illusion. If the Uzumaki girl comes back alone, I'll put her in another illusion to keep her in place while Kato takes the opportunity to use the Mind Body Switch Technique, after controlling her body we can use fuinjutsu to restrict her chakra."

"We are ready. You can break the illusion," Kato said.

After a minute, they saw Kushina running towards the restaurant.

"I'm going to put it in the genjutsu to make it stop in place so you'll have to grab the opportunity quickly, Kato," said Sato. Speaking, he was quickly making hand seals in order to put Kushina inside the genjutsu.

As soon as Kushina approached her genjutsu firing range, Sato put her in an illusion. Then Sato said, "Now Kato."

"You have to carry a body after doing Ninjutsu," Kato told Renko.

Then, using ninjutsu, Kato transformed his consciousness into spiritual energy and sent it toward Kushina. His consciousness slowly moved towards Kushina and his consciousness traveled in a straight line.

Once his consciousness reached Kushina, he replaced Kushina's minds and took full control of her body, once controlling Kushina's body he went to his comrades.

Then Sato put seals on Kushina's body to cancel her control over the chakra, after placing the seals Kato returned to his body.

Once kato's consciousness left Kushina's body she regained control of her body, but once her body was restored, Renko knocked Kushina unconscious.

"Okay, let's go before anyone finds out what we're doing," Renko said.Then they put Kushina in a big bag and Renko carried her on his back.

After they left Konoha, Sato said, "Let's change our clothes into clothes similar to those worn by the ninjas of Iwa village, so that our identity will not be revealed."

Once they changed their clothes and drove away from Konoha, Sato said, "The meeting point is 30 kilometers away, so if a team of 3 follows us before we get there we have to kill them quickly, and if a larger group of people catch up with us we have to kill the girl and commit suicide, so that Danzo-sama's identity is not revealed."

"Danzo-sama must be happy after the mission is successful," Renko said with a smile.

All three were Root Ninjas, and were more loyal to Danzo from Konoha Village. They receive a mission from Danzo to kidnap Kushina and if they can't kidnap her they have to kill her.
