[At the mention of a mask, a look of horror falls over Kushina's face. The events of the night Naruto was born flashed through her head. It was hard to believe three weeks had passed in Johto since that night. Her hands form fists in her lap, shaking slightly. Maybe this was some cruel coincidence. A part of her really wanted to believe that hadn't been Obito who had pulled the Kyuubi from her. Maybe that had been a different masked man. But there was only one way to find out: ask questions she probably wouldn't like the answers to.]

This masked man... does he know how to extract a bijuu on his own? But more importantly... [deeeeep breath] did anyone ever tell you about the night me and Minato died?
