Kushina: “I love you”

That’s all the words Naruto ever wanted to hear. Those three words

The voice actress of kushina Uzumaki just passed away. Rest in peace

The moment he realized who she was and just embraced her was just sooooo damn good a mothers warm hugs could take away any pain your going through. Merry Christmas Everyone!!

“i’ve always wanted to meet you mom” you can tell he’s been holding that in since the beginning of kid naruto. i love how mature he got. it makes me so happy

Kushina: I hope u didnt develop any of my bad phrases Naruto…

Everyone: DATTEBAYO

RIP Kushina’s voice actress, dattebane 💔

“Are you the Nine tails?”💀
Naruto meeting his Mom & Dad made me weep like a baby😭😭

This hits a different spot now. RIP Emi Shinohara 🌹😭

Man, i laughed when she punched him, but i cried afterwards. This arc was a real emotional rollercoaster

The trembling hands were the most realistic part for me. Imagine not meeting your mom your whole life and suddenly she’s right infront of you. When that moment realization hits, I would be trembling so much too. What a series. Will always go down as one of the GOATs

Naruto being confused and even thinking Kushina is Kurama's true form yet going straight for a hug when he finds out she's his mother... Perfect characterization

Rest In Peace Emi Shinohara
VA of Kushina Uzumaki

Honestly this arc not only shed some light on the mysteries of the show but it also showed us one of the most if not the most loving parents in anime history. The sacrifice and pain they went through to ensure Naruto's survival is just heartbreaking. When Naruto cried as soon as he realized who Kushina was hurt me so much cuz since I was a kid I WATCHED him grow, people give him the cold shoulder and see him overcome all those trials without his parents support. Really great Series.

Anyone that lost their mom at a young age can connect to this scene on a personal level.  Myself included

This and Naruto reiterating to Minato everything Kushina has told him in the last moments of her life at the end of the 4th ninja war are two of the most endearing moments in the anime.

Why is because she had hoped her words reached Naruto as a baby, who without knowing, who subconsciously held true to most what she said and without even knowing told the same words back to Minato to tell Kushina that she didnt have to worry without realizing that he's lived by his mothers principles.

I think this small part is missed by a lot of people because I never heard anybody mention it.

Her words definitely reached Naruto.

I always tear up with Naruto meets his Father and Mother scene, he's been all alone as a little kid.

Kushina is the best thing to happen in Naruto.

The hand tremble and the quivering lips… the hug, the tears, the words.. one of the most heartbreaking and emotional scenes in all of animeverse.

First we had "Boruto's Dad" and now we have "Naruto's Mom".
It truly runs in the family. XD
