Seeing the smile of Minato in front of her, all the uneasiness in Kushina's heart just now suddenly disappeared like the sun covering the shadow.
She burst into laughter, her smile was as beautiful as a flower.
"You look better when you smile." Minato smiled softly, and then stretched out his palm to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Kushina's face was slightly red, but with their friendship, she didn't have to act coy.
She raised her eyes and looked at Minato in front of her, and didn't speak for a while.
"You must have had a hard time these days."
Although Kushina had never been to the battlefield, she grew up on the border of the Land of Fire and had witnessed scene of life and death in the world.
The kind of hardship she was referring to was not the physical fatigue, but the inner heart.
As long as there is a war, there will be deaths. Konoha won this war, but they also paid a heavy price.
The so-called peace is built on many sacrifices. This is an eternal law.
If someone else said this, they might have some misunderstandings, but if we were to say who in this world knows Kushina the best, it would definitely be Minato.
Similarly, she is the one who understands Minato the best.
"It is inevitable in war. Fortunately, we did not disappoint those dead companions and won the victory." Minato said.
At this time, his mind was naturally a little different from Kushina's. He was enlightening the former.
Kushina and himself are of the same kind of people. What they cherish most is the village and the people.
"But, Kushina, you have really changed." Minato smiled lightly.
Kushina could already think of this level. This is the growth gained from experiencing war.
"Really?" Kushina's expression moved, and she said, "It's you that change. I never knew that your strength was so strong before"
Before Minato went to the battlefield, he stayed with Kushina, but the latter never knew that Minato was so powerful.
In just over half a year, she could always learn from the third hokage what Minato did on the battlefield.
Being able to kill a jonin already surprised her, but he also developed a S Rank ninjutsu, which seemed incredible to her.
"Can you let me see the jutsu you developed?" Kushina was curious.
Minato said, "Of course, but it doesn't seem appropriate here."
Kushina was slightly startled, and then followed Minato's line of sight for a few glances. At this time, they were standing on the roof, and there were a lot of eyes that were unconsciously projected over.
"That kid, did he just come from the battlefield?"
"I know him, he is the Namikaze Minato."
"Namikaze Minato!!"
At this time, Minato was still wearing a Chunin vest. His clothes looked very dirty and had many damages, which were traces of war.
The place where he and Kushina were located happened to be a residential area, and the two of them stopped here to talk just now, which naturally attracted these eyes.
As the civilians of Konoha were whispering, someone suddenly recognized Minato. All of a sudden, the expressions in the eyes of everyone in the crowd suddenly changed.
It was as if they had seen something incredible.
With the hearing of the two, although the sounds coming at the same time were very noisy, they could hear them clearly one by one.
Originally, it was Kushina's face that had a look of surprise.
After seeing these looks, Minato's heart shrank.
On the battlefield, he was not afraid of the killing intent of the same number of enemies, but this kind of look of being regarded as an "alien" was even more uncomfortable.
"Let's go"
As for the reason, Mikoto had already told him that although Minato was on the battlefield, he was already famous throughout Konoha.
So he pulled Kushina up, dodged a few times, and stayed away from the crowd, but at this time, the discussion of the crowd seemed to have not stopped.
The two rushed to a street with relatively few people. Minato pulled Kushina forward, but she grabbed him with her backhand.
"What's wrong?" Minato turned around and asked.
"Don't worry about the njutsu. You just came back from the battlefield. You should go home and have a good rest, take a shower, and change into clean clothes." Kushina said.
Knowing that this was for his own good, Minato smiled and said, "Okay, then come home with me. I'm very hungry now."
Minato pondered for a moment and invited Minato.
Kushina's eyes widened slightly when she heard it.
Speaking of which, Kushina has never been to Minato's house since the two of them got along.
"Okay." But she quickly agreed to Minato and said, "Then I'll cook for you."
"Yeah." Minato smiled, took Kushina and left. He naturally didn't feel shy.
Kushina herself is his wife, whether in the past, now, or in the future.
Behind him, Kushina's face was slightly flushed
Hokage's office.
"Okay, you all go back and have a good rest." Hiruzen said to Tsunade, Sakumo and others in front of him.
After hearing this, they all left here.
"Go and find the two council member and Danzo." After they left, Hiruzen raised his hand slightly, and a direct Anbu appeared in front of him.
"Yes." The Anbu responded and disappeared.
Ten minutes later, the door of the office was pushed open, and several Konoha's high-ranking officials walked in.
"Sarutobi, you called us here, what's the important matter?"
asked Utatane Koharu. Generally, when there is something extremely important in the village, Hiruzen will call them here.
Hiruzen raised his eyes and said directly: "I want to discuss with you about something. I want to tell Namikaze Minato all matters related to Uzumaki Kushina."
The three Konoha high-ranking officials heard the words, and their faces changed suddenly.
They naturally knew what Sandaime meant. Kushina's matter was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
This is the village's top secret, and very few people in Konoha know about it.
"No, the Nine-Tails is too important, how can we tell others casually?" Danzo immediately objected, and said: "Besides, now that the war is almost settled, I think it is necessary to restore a tight supervision of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
The originally calm Hiruzen suddenly sank his eyes and shouted: "I have explained to you about the supervision. This is the decision of the Hokage, and you are not qualified to tamper with it."
"As for Kushina matter, I promised Minato myself."
"Promise? A promise to a child, as a Hokage, how can you make a decision because of this kind of thing?" Danzo sneered.
Sandaimeme glanced at the other two advisors. Although they didn't say anything, their expressions clearly showed that they felt something was wrong about telling Minato all the matters about Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
He turned his gaze back to Danzo and said: "As a Hokage, it is indeed not right to make such a decision, but this child now has an extraordinary meaning to the village. Don't you understand?"
