"..."
After hearing Kushina's words, Minato was even more speechless. He just quietly looked at Kushina, not knowing what to say.
This was just great.
He came to Mount Myoboku to improve his strength and solve the crisis of the ninja world. He also took the position of the 4th Hokage to lead the revolution of the ninja world.
But...
He never thought of it.
He brought Kushina to Mount Myoboku.
All of a sudden, he lost his position as Hokage.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Kushina looked at Minato staring at her, and the smile on her face became even stronger. She suddenly felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
That's right!
She wants to be the Hokage!
In the history of Konohagakure, there had been three Hokage!
But these three were all men, and no woman had ever been the Hokage!
Moreover...
Apart from the position of Hokage.
Even the other villages included Raikage, Tsuchikage, Kazekage, and Mizukage. All of them were men, and none of them were women.
She decided!
She wanted to be the first female Kage in the ninja world!
"Sigh..."
Minato took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He did not know what to say. The more confident Kushina was, the more uncertain he felt. It was not that he was not confident in himself, but that he knew Kushina too well.
Kushina was a strong person.
However, she was not that strong.
Even so.
Kushina usually had a feeling of being ahead of others.
But now, what she was showing was no longer the kind of fierce fight, but a feeling that everything was in her hands.
It seemed...
As long as she wanted it!
Then it was hers!
This kind of signal was very obvious!
Minato could feel it deeply, which made him understand that in this period of time, Kushina must have made a major breakthrough, and the self-confidence that came from the improvement of strength was impossible to disguise.
"I... You... If you become the Hokage... what should I do?"
Minato spread out his hands, revealing a bitter smile. He could not say anything too tough in front of Kushina, but he knew very well in his heart that when they really fought, he would go easy on her. No matter what the result was in the end, it would be a show of respect for each other.
"Aren't you going to be the Hokage's man?"
Kushina blinked at Minato again. Her dark pupils seemed to release electricity. As she spoke, her face turned red.
"You can work hard in this direction!"
After Kushina finished speaking, she no longer looked at Minato, but at Great Toad Sage who was sitting on the huge chair with a red face.
She wanted to tease Minato a little.
But what she didn't expect was...
Before Minato could react, she couldn't handle it herself, and her mind came up with a lot of strange pictures.
"This..."
Minato's eyelids jumped, and he vaguely felt that Kushina seemed to be hinting at something, but he didn't fully react for a moment.
Just as he was about to continue talking.
On the huge chair, the Great Toad Sage's eyelids moved. After that, he slowly opened his eyes, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Minato."
"Kushina."
"Both of you are here!"
The Great Toad Sage said slowly. After that, he used his frog hands to support his body, making him sit up even more properly.
"Yes."
Minato and Kushina answered at the same time, and both of them turned their attention back to what was in front of them.
"After this period of training, both of you have mastered Senjutsu. This is something I didn't think of at the beginning. The student that little Jiraiya took a fancy to is really extraordinary!"
The Great Toad Sage's eyes flashed with praise.
This was not something he was praising.
Looking at the ninja world.
There were not many people who could master Senjutsu.
"Right now, your strength should have already surpassed little Jiraiya. I could have let you leave Mount Myoboku and let you go back to do what you want to do."
"But..."
"Fukasaku and Shima made a bet."
"Coincidentally, I am the witness."
"Then today is the time to fulfill the bet."
"Now, I need the two of you to spar with each other in the state of Sage Mode. Your outcome will directly determine the status of your teacher in the family. I hope that you can go all out."
"I won't say any more nonsense."
"There are no other rules. Just in this hall. When I say "begin", you can attack each other."
As the Great Toad Sage spoke, he seemed to be in high spirits, and his sleepy eyes also disappeared.
When the Great Toad Sage spoke, the other toads did not dare to interrupt.
The whole place was silent.
However, all the toads, including Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima, focused their eyes on Minato and Kushina.
"Begin!"
The Great Toad Sage immediately shouted, and as soon as he said this, the toads on the scene became nervous.
All of a sudden.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Minato and Kushina.
"Hu!"
Minato took a deep breath, turned to face Kushina, and clapped his hands together.
At the same time.
Kushina also made the same move.
"Kushina, forgive me! I won't hurt you!" Minato bowed to Kushina.
"I'm different. I won't show mercy. Don't cry in front of so many people!" Kushina bowed at the same time and smiled slyly.
After the two of them bowed to each other, they immediately retreated a distance and looked at each other.
All of a sudden.
Minato closed his eyes.
He was extremely focused.
Hum!
A moment later.
Minato's body emitted a fluctuation of sage chakra.
A tyrannical pressure exploded on his body, and his yellow hair slowly fluttered, and his whole body was filled with magnanimous righteousness.
Orange-colored eyeshadow appeared around Minato's eyes.
At this moment.
Minato opened his eyes. His frog-like eyes showed that he had entered the Sage mode.
"This is your Sage Mode?"
Kushina was still in her normal state. She still had a smile on her face. She did not condense natural energy at all. Instead, she was observing Minato's changes.
"The face is very clean. Only the eyeshadow and the pupil have changed. The degree of frog transformation is very low!"
"Minato!"
"As expected of you!"
"I knew you could achieve this!"
Kushina nodded at Minato, but her tone did not seem to worship Minato, but more like a teacher checking the students' homework, and expressing her satisfaction.
