Naruto's cheerfully even tone and erratic thoughts made it hard to follow but everyone was beginning to understand something that nobody wanted to admit, "I was curious if my hypothesis about her powers were true, so I lured Matsu with a few questions. Since there were no absolute rule saying there had to be battles back then, and there wasn't any internet for Sekireis like Matsu to manipulate, the only natural conclusion I came to was that they had been stunted in some way to accommodate Minaka's plan. Keeping track of Sekireis who could fly or blow stuff up with their minds must have been annoying."
"Is this true?" Miya whispered disbelievingly, "Ho-How…."
"Not very pleasant is it?" Matsu remarked with a strange smile, "The way he stares at you and sees all your secrets with that smile. The way his poisonous words slowly creep into your mind, undermining everything you have ever done as the actions of a delusional, selfish, worthless, cowardly woman that cannot do anything but rave and rant because your abilities were ripped away from you. A woman who would willingly hide in the home of the person she hated most just because she was a coward, even worse, she did nothing but stay holed up in her room without even thinking about taking revenge."
Purple eyes stared in shock at the venomous tone coming from her oldest friend, "Why didn't you say anything?" Miya uttered in a hushed tone.
Matsu hung her head before she slowly reached out to the oldest Sekirei with a pleading look in her eyes, "How could I? You were so in love with him, how could I tell you that he took everything from me?"
